Have you thought about changing out Torkoal? I know that you said you like catching people with Solar Beam, but he really isn't that highly rated of a Pokemon for PVP. Wigglytuff is solid and Tropius is insanely good...I think if you adjust your squad a little bit, you'll have more success

Oh, I've played rock, paper, scissors with my team - it doesn't help.

So what's going to be better than Torkoal to cover both steel and grass? I have a maxed Medicham ...

Actually I was holding off on investing in some things because of stardust, but I've got some built up, so I might look into that again.

Anything fire with good moves. Burn blast charizard would be ideal, but blaziken with burn blast would also be good. Counter and burn blast would **** up steel types. Counter would do less damage to grass, but it would power up burn blast fast.

I've been 2,040-2,060 for a while. Once I made it to level 8 its gets tougher.

I think Medicham or Whiscash would both be worth throwing in instead of Torkoal...personally, I haven't encountered enough grass types to want to run a fire type and Blizzard on Whiscash would give you coverage if you run into that.

Blizzard does not give whiscash grass coverage. It will die from fast attacks long before it charges up.

Lag keeps getting me every time I get to the 1800's.

10 loss streak. I'm so pissed. Freaking lag every time my pokemon change, either when I do it manually or when a pokemon dies. So my opponent is able to get 3 or 4 free attacks in. Plus, I'm getting countered or walled every lead off no matter what I do.

I've lost 200 ranking points and I'm down to 1796

Just a funny observation.

People really hate azumarill and use lots of shields against him. I've had people double shield azumarill before.

Not true. I have been beaten by the blizzard several times against my Tangela

It doesn't make it a hard counter or anything obviously, but in most scenarios where you'd have a Whiscash on a grass type, you should have energy stored or the ability to swap out and bring something in.

Whose ready for the psychic event this weekend?

I've gotten an Absol my last 3 10K eggs.

Every time mine has seen grass and not been pulled immediately, it died very fast. There have been times where it's my lead and it's 3/4 gone by the time the switch menu opens because it's up against a victreebell or venusaur.

FINALLY got a winning record in Go League after weeks of going 1-4. Went 3-2 in a session, followed by 4-1 to keep my overall record over .500. Switched my lineup to Tangrowth, Azumarill, and Altaria. The Tangrowth causes pretty much everyone to make immediate switches, then I'll typically switch to Azumarill.

Got a crappy Coballion following the 4-1 session.

What's weird is that my main account still has all sorts of issues with lagging and errors in matches, but my alt account, on the same phone and wifi/data, has absolutely zero issues.

You have a Tangrowth under 1500? I have a Tangela that causes problems for others. I might consider leading with him rather than my Zapdos.

What does Tangrowth/Tangela use to counter flying? Don't you see hoards of Altaria & Skymory?

If I get another Ferroseed from a weekly challenge, I may quit.

I think they said it was for all of March.

As David Dao said best....

Kill me

Just Kill me

On the one hand, March is almost over.

On the other hand, they may surprise us all and extend it due to the COVID, as they seem to have rearranged other plans.

It was a lucky Tangela I got in a trade, oddly enough. It was a low CP and I evolved it and the CP grew to like 1300. I boosted it as much as I could and gave it a second charge move. Fast is Vine Whip, charges are Sludge Bomb/Power Whip.

Doesn't do anything to Skymory or Registeel, but I've only encountered one Regi and 2 Sky. I just switch to Marill at that point and hope for the best. 2-1 with that strategy so far.

What are y'all planning on running for Ultra League when it goes live today? I finally have a Giratina and am excited to try him out

I've got Clefable, Gyarados, Giratina, Mamoswine, Breloom and Machamp all ready to try out for Ultra.

Me too

Let me know how Breloom does! I have one that is close, but needs a second move.

I have a Swampert, Giratina, Lucario, Blaziken, Sceptile, and Gardevoir and Snorlax each with 1 move. I am excited because I feel like there is a wider variety of Pokemon in the UL (other than Giratina being on every team of course).

I only have one of all those you guys listed. I will run Arcanine, Vaporeon, and Rhyperior/Venusaur/100%Crobat I actually did better in Ultra than Great and Master.

I can't wait to try Breloom. I love the little guy. I think his high attack with Counter and Seed Bomb is going to be pretty good. My second charge move is gonna be Sludge Bomb for the time being.

I've got Gifts I need to giveaway, if anyone wants another friend 7576 2606 7928

Woof I've like 2-8 in Ultra. My team last team isn't working and I've been trying to mix it up. It was fun watching Mew 1 charge move kill Scizor with a fire move.

7-1 so far in UL. Swampert/Giratina/Lucario are UNREAL.
