viperxmns Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Saw a random Lapras for the first time the other day, before event started, this was in Ohio tho (by a Pokestop) Someone put a Corsola in the gym near me On that notion given my recent evos Unown is my last regional Johto Pokemon..

viperxmns Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Caught my first Typhlosion (after evoing one), really weird that he can have Solar Beam The one I evod has good stats and moves but such low CP, powering up would be annoying.. naturally right after I evod I caught another pretty good higher CP Cynda still not crazy great.. hoping for a real good one to evolve another.

viperxmns Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I reckon it's meant to be a defense, someone uses water against him and suddenly BAM Grass Splosion, same thing with Arcanine getting Wild Charge But throwin a Fire Pokemon in a gym in this game is largely a 'yeah so what I'm gon do it move' than a strategy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my Gengar and Charizard in them a lot just to do something different. Usually I'll do it in the last gym I'm raising or taking over because I'll be the weakest one and prone to getting sniped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 They should make it so only one of a pokemon can be in a gym. Only one blissey, only one Dragonite, only one Snorlax, only one rhydon, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 My other thought is that maybe gyms should mirror the pokestop and first catch streaks - every day in the gym your daily prize increases, but after the seventh day your Pokemon gets kicked out and can't go straight back in. That way there is increased incentive to holding the gym but at the same time it forces gyms to cycle out so they don't stay locked down forever by those same seven blissey and three snorlaxes.

That way there is increased incentive to holding the gym but at the same time it forces gyms to cycle out so they don't stay locked down forever by those same seven blissey and three snorlaxes. I recently started using my Machamp and Poliwrath with submission against Blissey and I'm having better luck not running out of time. My Blissey is a pain in the ass she has Dazzling Gleam which she seems to be able to use almost constantly. I have a feeling they are going to do something about this. Perhaps they will intro berries that we can use mid battle to strengthen our guys back up instead of them fainting. Six guys is just not enough sometimes it's that or they will nerf Blissey and I don't want that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viperxmns Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 My Ampharos has Focus Blast, once I can power her up maybe I can use her more against strong normal types My Blissey has Hyper Beam, but she wasn't a super high IV Chansey so I'll need a lot more spare candy before I feel comfy boosting her. I figure Dazzling Gleam is prob good against Tyranitar and Dragonite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/19/15828802/pokemon-go-update-raids-new-gyms http://pokemongolive.com/en/post/raids New insight to the gym rework, includes team raids and something called motivation. A gym takeover will automatically give six slots, which can only be filled by one pokemon, ie one Blissey, one Snorlax, etc also there will be an introduction to something called motivation. Your assigned pokemon will lose CP over time as it loses battles, your Pokemon motivation can be restored with a special type of berry, also gyms will now spin and give items like pokestops. ANother thing, when a big boss egg appears at a gym any Pokemon assigned will be returned to you. You will have 5 minutes to defeat what rare pokemon hatches from that egg. Only my boyfriend and I play together, I don't know if this new system will allow us to play the game, it will make it harder for sure S: Edit a jillion: You will need a raid pass to partcipate in the gym raid, you get one free one a day and OF COURSE you can buy more at the Poke Shop. I'm having mixed feelings about this but will reserve final judgement for when the updates actually happen. I'm ascared ::spin:: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain that gym motivation will have to be tooled with because part of me wonders if this will cause more gym stagnation. Will the legendaries and the mews be in those raid eggs?

Raptorpat Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 One type of Pokemon per gym, a 'decay' system to promote turnover/more effort to keep the money in the gym. The raid bosses look to be powerful pokemon, but not actually legendaries. But you get rewarded rare berries and TMs to change movesets. That will either be a good thing or will lead to one optimized moveset for every mon. I logged into the game and see at least three new gyms on the block towards where I park for work. Any ETA when they go live? Days, weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did. Even the counter says he still has a Pokémon assigned to a gym. I bet he won't be able to collect though. I think you're right, it will roll out from west to east. Probably Seattle or wherever Niantic is HQ is will be that beta subset and get it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
