Is a pumped Charm / Dazzling Gardevoir good anti-Dragon?

Like other people said, it tanks Outrage from Rayquaza like a boss. I would use it if you don't have a lot of good counters to dragons. It helps me a ton as a sort of anchor when I duo a Rayquaza and I have it out while the other account is preemptively switching out a team to stagger so we don't both lose our whole teams at the same time.

I think it'll get more mileage when Kyurem comes out, as it's slated to have more attack than Rayquaza, while having ice as its second type so a lot of dragon and ice attackers will be resisted.

My Tyranitar were the VIPs vs Rayquaza and I'd guess the same for other dragon/flying.

Rock type is only super effective against flying whereas ice is super effective against both dragon and flying, meaning it's super easy to duo Rayquaza if both players have halfway decent ice types.

If I remember correctly, fire resist fairy.

I think a fire/dragon type is only weak to rock, ground and dragon unless I’m forgetting a type.

Huh, good to know. I know fairy was weak to "man-made" things so steel and poison makes sense. Fire I guess fits halfway where they at least resist fairy, but doesn't mean fairy is weak to fire.

I just wonder if they'll make every one of the tao trio's forms or fusions their own Pokemon or try to do something different than "every form is its own Pokemon." Anyway ground does get more mileage again in their weaknesses and I'm happy:

Reshiram (Dragon/Fire) - ground, rock, dragon
Zekrom (Dragon/Electric) - ground, ice, dragon, fairy
Kyurem (Dragon/Ice) - fighting, rock, steel, dragon, fairy

I'll just tell people if they don't have good ground/rock/fairy counters to just throw as many of their green snakes from Rayquaza month at these guys.

I think so. It seems less like they're half distance and more like they have their distances doubled. Same same but different.

Also, fuckkkkkkk sentrets. They've replaced bellsprouts for my local trash pokemon. Also also lol at needing to catch gulpin for research, they've also disappeared from the trash-tier locals.

Spidercock? Here?
Morning frustration: trying to take a gym down where everyone had been in it all night, but someone who very clearly lives in the building in it is golden raspberrying, so I give up.

Mid day pleasant surprise: said gym is taken down, in my color, and has an open spot. Sweet.

Night time vindication: someone is trying to take it down and despite me being in it for 7 or so hours, I golden raspberry them back until they give up.


Two can play this game bub.

Today I learned that not dying, but also not winning, in a level 3 raid counts as winning said raid for the special research task.
Finally completed that, got 400k exp this morning. What did you do? :smuggo:

EDIT: now I have 830+ items and a storage limit of 700. Woops. Guess I'm not spinning stops the next couple of days...

If you are like me, you'll realize all normal pokeballs, basic revives (not max), potions (not max), and nanab berries are a thing you spend a minute a day throwing out to make like 100 or more of space.

And then you fill it up after a day or two of more stops and gifts, and there you go throwing out all the garbage items again.

Edit: put an exception for normal pokeballs if you use a gotcha device. I don't.

Lmao I spent actual money to get incubators and clear out my eggs in prep for this to possibly get a uknown (any uknown) just to fill that spot in my Pokédex. This morning picked up 6 5k eggs and 3 2ks. gently caress this lovely game.

If it makes you feel any better, I got 2 10ks and the first one i hatched was a lovely 2* Munchlax. Got the second one going right now but i'm not getting my hopes up since the only thing I really want is a drat Gible :argh:

Find a nosepass. They're super easy to get great throws on. Plus their catch rate is stupid low so they're bound to pop out even with a great throw so you can throw again.
