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.

Got my first 100% IV

Somewhat disappointedGrin

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!

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2018 10:53

Nice Mismagius Tallulah!

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 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!

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

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

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

IncyWincyGrownUp · 18/11/2018 12:48

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

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

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 18/11/2018 13:18

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

Boulty · 18/11/2018 13:24

Anyone in America, Australia, China, Japan or Russia want to add a friend from the UK to increase miles for gift exchange?

If so post trainer code and location and I will add

TangelaHair · 18/11/2018 14:19

How are you all getting the item to evolve the gen 4 ones? I thought it was on 7 day streak but got a kings rock Sad

TrashPanda · 18/11/2018 14:41

It's the research breakthrough you get after completing 7 days of field research tasks Tangela

TangelaHair · 18/11/2018 14:48

Aha! Thank you that makes sense. I'd only obviously listened to the 7 day bit oops

MonaChopsis · 18/11/2018 15:06

Is there any concensus on what is the best Pokemon to evolve with the Sinnoh stone? Am thinking for raids in particular.

TallulahBetty · 18/11/2018 16:07

A lot of people have gone for Rhyperior from what I've seen, Mona

bettytaghetti · 18/11/2018 18:17

Sneaky we can go ultra whenever suits you. Let me know if/when you would like to use an egg.

PickAChew · 18/11/2018 18:29

For people deciding what to use their first sinnoh stone on, there's a good discussion, here.

I evolved my shiny roselia. My rhyhorn are all meh, anyhow.

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2018 19:21

I had numb hands and muffed 12/14 throws after a Scyther raid. He broke out the other two.
I want to cry.
I bloody hate winter.
I haven't got a metal coat anyway.

IncyWincyGrownUp · 18/11/2018 19:42

I used a stylus last winter Baroness. It saved many a fluffed throw.

MonaChopsis · 18/11/2018 20:02

Thanks, PickAChew, that's really useful.

Masso34 (@moltenpink) last call... I'm putting an egg on at 8.30pm and will open your gift then, so if you want to double up on points put one on too.

catchyjem · 18/11/2018 21:01

Does anyone know the difference between the 5km and 25km rewards? I need to do 1.5km more to hit 25km and I don't know if it's worth going out to walk round the block tonight or not...

TallulahBetty · 18/11/2018 21:34

Try this Catchy
