GoFest makeup event kind of sucked. Only 2 shinies eevee and feebas. Terrible shiny rate.

I did have to restart my app midway through to get the free box to appear, though. I kept waiting for it and checking, then decided to restart. Lucky thing I did.

Any gifts to opened had a rare candy. Max out at 30 gifts per day, so 30 candies.

I'm enjoying the variety in Ultra Premier. My team comp is goofy as heck, but I'm hovering around 2260 so I guess it's not awful.

Alolan Golem
Venusaur
Gallade

My Venusaur has horrible IVs and doesn't have Frenzy Plant, so I lose a match or two every set or so just due to missing that move. A-Golem is fragile as heck, too.

I'm working on getting a Magnezone built and maybe a Kingdra. But they won't be ready until next season. I'll probably use the Elite CTM to build a proper Venusaur; I don't want to wait until December anymore.

How's everyone else doing?

I was doing fine until I got into level 7.

I have been running
Weavile (shiny)
Giratina
Venusaur/Charizard (was Venusaur, but needed a counter for steel after 100 Scizors in a row)

Well it didn't take long to get to level 8... I haven't been battling, and was at level 6 until this morning. Battled some today and finally hit 7. Came out with a ranking of 2125. I thought that seemed high. I did a single 3-2 set and hit 8.

Maybe it helps that somewhere I had a 15 win streak and didn't finish below 4-1 between levels 1-5.

Lucario just swept Snorlax, Venusaur, & Lapras. That has never happened to me when someone was actually trying.

Meta seemed to shift this week and my rating tanked. Dropped 100 points. Oh well, I really wish I had community day moves!

I've noticed it's incredibly difficult to swap, which has cost me quite a few games when I try to time my swaps.

Just won a match I thought about pulling out of. Started with my venusaur versus their charizard. I immediately switched to my charizard, and they brought out an empoleon with a water fast move. I got him to burn a shield and whittled him down some, but charizard was screwed. Venusaur came back out to deal some damage, but he took a drill peck. I burned a shield on another one to knock out the empoleon. Of course his charizard came back out, but venusaur got off a sludge bomb that he didn't block. Big mistake mother ****er! That helped cefable come out and knock out charizard. Took a shield to do it, but it got done with minimal damage. At that point, I was nervous to see what came out. He still had a shield, but I had a charmer. Imagine my delight when I see a breloom come out! With the type advantage, the shield disadvantage didn't matter anymore. I made quick work of breloom to win the match, even though halfway through I was ready to cut my losses and quit.

Charge moves have to still be broken. I've had several instances of someone throwing a Pokemon out, immediately switching, and then bringing it back out with an immediate charge. It is bull**** and really frustrating to lose matches to that.

Catching all them Dratinis a few weeks ago paid off. I caught a pretty decent shadow Dratini. I was able to evolve, power-up, and get the second move with plenty of candy remaining. My shadow Dragonite wrecks havoc!

My lineup...

I lead with Charizard. Shadow Dragonite and Venusaur are on the bench. I typically go 4-1 with this lineup. The times that I lose are when they lead with Swampert or an electric. A lot of these I will still win but those are the leads that cause the most problems.

I have been battling in the non-legendary arena.

I'm sitting on almost 1900 dratini candy. I just need the good shadow dratini.


Also, smart me TM'ed a decent shadow porygon during the last rocket event. Hopefully its community day move will be good for pvp.

Yikes, I have 5425 Dratini candy. I should have stopped pinap-ing those guys, but they're so cute.

Okay this is a good primer. (Ignore the red map marker thing). Note the dark green squares, and the smaller light green squares inside the bigger one.

The light green are S2 Level 17 cells, or L17 for short. Only one stop can be inside an L17. If someone submits a second stop in the same L17, even if it's approved by reviewers, it won't be in PoGo. If it's closer than 20 meters from his stop, it won't even make it into Niantic's database, even though the notification email will say it's approved.

Now, the larger cell is an L14. When an L14 gets its second stop - meaning two unique L17's have their own stops - then one of those becomes a gym. The same is true for the 6th and 20th stops/gyms inside an L14.

There's more to it that I can get into if people want, but those are the basics.

Thanks! I hope my other stop is in the same L14. It looks like it might be right on the border.
jm94

The tricky part now is, assuming it's approved and in the same L14, do you want to try to determine which stop becomes a gym?

It would require an Ingress account (believe it or not), but Level 1 is fine.

What are you using to overlay cells with stops?

The app is IITC-CE Mobile, which is designed to augment the Ingress Intel Map and requires an Ingress account to use (again, Level 1). Pokemon Go's stops and gyms are just a subset of Ingress's portals.

Here is the developer's site of the plug-in that overlays PoGo cells on top of the Ingress map, and here is a more comprehensive explanation about using it, including the cell stuff I posted above.

It's a bit of a bear to set up, but it's way useful once you do.

Quick question...

So I mentioned that I have a shadow Dragonite. I noticed on pvpoke.com in their ratings that they will put shadows in the rankings that have two charge moves. How do you replace the charge move, "Frustration?" Every time I try, it says you can't replace it.

You have to wait for special events that allow you to TM away frustration.

Got to spin my pokestop for the first time today. Incredibly satisfying. It was also a Cliff stop, so I got to bear a rocket leader too.
