DD just picked up a 700CP shiny Pikachu. I'm not handling this well. Sad

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2018 13:07

DS is a ditto magnet. He's scoring about one a day at the moment.
The Bomburst castle has rooms a sofa available for weekend breaks.
Highlights of the Pokéstop tour will include the Boring Wooden Cross, the board game paving in a shopping precinct, photographed in the dark so you'll just have to believe me that it's there, and the Supermarket Emergency Flight Route Information Board.
Don't all rush at once. Grin

Hakuna I was so lucky to grab the excellent throw research on my way home last night.

Bellebp · 18/11/2018 12:42

Thanks for the advice re TMs, I won’t delete and will research a bit more before using. I’m more of a fill your Pokédex type of player but am getting better at being choosy over IV and not just battling the prettiest ones Grin

HakunaRattatas · 18/11/2018 12:25

Thanks tumpymummy, I got the points! Sorry about all the palaver.

Baroness my vote is just evolve the rubbish one. They're of no real use.

I'm stuck looking for ditto again. Problem is I'm hardly seeing any potentials so I've very little chance. I know there's a task that gives one but I can't find that either. I just don't have the time to spend hours chasing around so I don't think I will be getting Meltan given the difficulty of the following tasks EnvyEnvy

TallulahBetty · 18/11/2018 12:25

Yeah Baroness personally I'd just get the dex entry. Time it when you have a lucky egg on and you'll get 2000xp. Smile

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2018 12:01

I need a vote.
I'm going nowhere fast on my tasks.
I'm stuck on evolving a magicarp - I probably find one every other day, although I also have one as my buddy, and also stuck on evolving a stage 2 grass-type. And here's the vote:
I have 114 hoppip candies, a skiploom worth 11CP with an IV of 20-49%, and 2 ok-ish hoppips worth 458 CP/ 71 IV and 262 CP/ 78 IV.
I've not seen a hoppip in days. And my best bets are exactly stunning.
I should just evolve the skiploom and get on with it, shouldn't I?
You can't do bog all with a jumpluff anyway, except register it to the Pokédex?
Help, oh wise trainers!

tumpymummy · 18/11/2018 11:20

hakuna If you see this please do your lucky egg! Thankyou for the gift, I have triggered best friends. Thanks also to maldice and mickstubbs and pottering, I got lots of XP this morning.

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2018 10:53

Nice Mismagius Tallulah!

HakunaRattatas · 18/11/2018 10:35

Just seen this @tumpymummy. I'm not sure whether to open or not as I missed 10.15 so I will just send you a gift and be very careful when I open the app!

Belzzjpn · 18/11/2018 10:10

Got my first 100% IV

I’ve not really paid much attention to the fast TM and charged TMs but now my bag keeps getting full I want to make space!

Are these things useful and if so what’s the best way to use them? Or do I just delete

Second the question re Fast/Charged TMs

Bellebp and JuniLoolaPalooza Fast and Charge TMs are extremely useful if used correctly. They have the ability to change your Pokemon’s movesets so they are more streamlined and effective in battle.

The Pokemon you want to be using them on are fully evolved* Pokemon that you intend to battle with (no point altering the moveset otherwise). So your high IV Tyrannitar, Dragonite, Gyarados, legendaries etc.

Movesets can make or break a battle, so you want your Pokemon to be the best they can be. However, this depends on how you want to use them.

Take Tyrannitar for example, if you want a double dark Tyrannitar to be super effective against ghost and psychic Pokemon, you want Bite/Crunch. But if you want double rock so it’s effective against flying, bug, fire and ice, you want Smack Down**/Stone Edge.

I personally have two double dark Tyrannitar and six double rock ones.

Movesets are a complex part of the game and it’s worth researching to make sure you get it right.

  • Pokemon should be fully evolved before you change their movesets as movesets change automatically on evolution, so you would lose the ones you used the TMs for if they weren’t.

** Smack Down is an exclusive move that was only available to evolved Tyrannitar during the community day event and is now legacy.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 18/11/2018 08:52

NicoAndTheNiners Your Blissey won’t have disappeared; it will be one of the two lower ones.

There was a stat rebalance a few days ago (we’ve known it was coming for a while but weren’t sure when exactly it would hit the game).

It’s not just Blissey’s that have had their stats changed, it’s all Pokemon. However, it is much more noticeable with Blissey as they were unfairly advantaged stats wise and needed to be nerfed because PVP is coming; it just wouldn’t be workable otherwise.

Your Blissey hasn’t lost anything in terms of being powered up, it’s just the CP has dropped due to its stats changing. Blissey’s max CP is lower that what it used to be.

TallulahBetty · 18/11/2018 08:26

First Sinnoh stone! She's a beaut

I don't like Kricketot, oh no, I love it, yeah
TrashPanda · 18/11/2018 05:57

Nico it does sound like it's just dropped down your list in the stat rework. @WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue knows more about why they did it, I think. I don't really do powering up and gyms so haven't paid much attention.

IncyWincyGrownUp · 17/11/2018 23:50

It’s been a bit quiet on the community day info front. Are we not getting one for December?

HannahnotAgnes · 17/11/2018 23:16

Thanks for the advice - got my espeon earlier! Not sure about meeting anyone in real life to trade though - don't fancy that!

NicoAndTheNiners · 17/11/2018 22:23

tumpymummy. Oh maybe. I didn't realise that Blisseys had been nuked, why do they do that? They used to be difficult to beat in gyms but since the gym set up changed you can take them out fine.

Maybe I only had two in total not three?

tumpymummy · 17/11/2018 22:01

tired all of a sudden I can't throw a great ball either!

tumpymummy · 17/11/2018 21:59

nico are you sure your 'missing' Blissey isn't one of the much lower CP ones you have left? All my Blisseys were nuked a few days ago and dropped loads of CP.

NicoAndTheNiners · 17/11/2018 21:29

100% gone. I search for blissey and I have two much lower ones only. Ones which even if I walked for ages to get the candy I would need to power up will never be as good as my old one.

I've googled and it's happened to others.

Have filed a report but apparantly they don't get back to you and nothing happens. Annoys me when I spend real money on the game and shit like this Haplens.

TrashPanda · 17/11/2018 21:14

I've never had one disappear Nico, has it definitely gone and not just dropped down the list in the stat rework?

NicoAndTheNiners · 17/11/2018 20:48

Has anyone ever had a Pokemon disappear?

My high level blissey has gone out my Pokédex. It was favourited so no way have I got rid of it accidentally. I'm grieving.

tiredvommachine · 17/11/2018 20:42

My throwing has gone to shit trying to get 10 great throws, am over thinking it Confused

BouleBaker · 17/11/2018 20:04

Tumpymummy go ahead tomorrow. I probably won’t be able to egg but will hold fire from present opening.
