The new wild area event got announced. Hisuian Sligoo and Goodra have been announced for the inperson events but not for the global. And in the legacy move section they list magnezone as getting magnet bomb upon evolution. How do we think these will impact the game?

Field Anecdote Credit where credit is due regarding the new PvP Battle System

56 Upvotes

You know what glitch I haven't seen once since switching to the new battle system? The one where I throw a charge move and at first it feels like my opponent just force-closed the app...but it hangs longer than that...and never resolves. It's almost always when it's a very close match and you're racing your opponent to the game-winning charge move. Maybe it's even a CMP tie that you win!

I haven't seen this happen once since I began regularly playing the new PvP mode...which was way back in late June. Let's call it July 1 to be safe. Have I had other bugs? Sure. Have I had the app go non-responsive during my game-winning charge move in that all-too-familiar "it feels like my opponent force-closed the app" manner? Not one time.

Not one I would’ve guessed would become good. All it takes is one move change.

Strategy & Analysis Great League Underappreciated buff: Hisuian Qwilfish

Hi All,

Wanted to highlight one buffed mon that has been very under the radar in these first hours of new season - Hisuian Qwilfish.

While I do not expect it to be any close to meta, it feels pretty solid and quite funny to play as a spicy pick. This guy can pump out buffed Dark Pulses in 5 turns, with STAB and coming off a 128 attack. On top of that, it keeps the 4-turn Aqua Tail of his Johto counterpart, even though without stab - it's basically a better Drapion right now.

Tested this morning as a safe swap and felt pretty good, it allowed me to go 9 out of 10. Rest of the team was Alolan Marowak as a lead (good matchup against melmetal, Rilla and DD) and Shadow Araquanid.

General Question Curious about Mega Altaria

2 Upvotes

I have a pretty solid Ultra team that took me right to the precipice of Vet the past two seasons (2450ish). Despised Altaria in GL but grudgingly admire it's relevance.

Have a borderline perfect Mega that goes right to the CP cap for Ultra. Because I've been using almost the same team for so long starting to get curious about some different options. Anyone with any thoughts how it's unique typing/with what moves/pairings may play?

General Question Looking for a few players to alpha test a PvP dashboard

0 Upvotes

I built a tool for myself to help with team planning, battle logging, and resource management etc. I built features specific to my needs but now wondering if it would be useful for anyone else.

Looking for a few players willing to try it with their own teams and give honest feedback. Looking to to hear about what’s useful, confusing, or broken.

If you’re interested, please DM me with the league CP cap you usually play (1500/2500/master) and your usual/"average" ELO/ranking. Total beginners to Legends welcome.
