First for FUCK waytroons

>new Pokemon Go update starts hiding my navigation bar
>muscle memory still sends my thumb to a nonexistent back button when I want to leave an encounter
Ayyyyyyy I'm losin my balls ova hea!

Is a nature signpost in the grass worth fighting for as a pokestop? They refused it because they don't think it's permanent and I don't think I can talk around that.
It was my only shot to get a stop near my house.

>>58167428
Yeah, make it sound like it's an area with local significance or it's a protected place because of something. Also, embellish the description and the other comment because waytrannies like to reject everything. Did you check why your submission got rejected? That helps guide what you should include. Also don't let getting rejected discourage you, in my experience, it takes around 3-4 submissions for a stop to get accepted.

>>58167444
Yeah, I checked and the reason was doubts about it being permanent which is probably isn't since it's just a signpost hammered into the grass but it's backed by an organisation and was supposed to be left there permanently.

>>58167414 (OP)
>>58167358
I finished first one. When does second unlock?

>>58167428
I've been fighting for a museum ship in my area to become one for years

Wild area/safari returning
https://x.com/thepokemodgroup/status/1960092589702406487

>>58167471
Why are the troons rejecting your submissions?

>>58165414
You can just battle your alt though
>>58167420
>even pig slop like this has got a paid research ticket

>Win a raid
nah I'm cool

I refuse to engage with pvp because it looks boring and gay so I won’t give them the satisfaction of seeing the numbers of users playing go up

>>58167878

PVP is good for farming dust and rare candies. I usually get about a dozen rare candies per day minimum. Almost 3 million dust just this season

Will I ever get my cute avatar back?

>>58167513
The rejection message said two things.
1. The photo was from a third party
2. The text or photo contains abuse, ridicule, or harassment of a specific person or group.
Thing is, neither of these are true. I took the photo myself and ensured that it's good enough. I also ensured the text was good.

>>58167926
Do I need to win or can I just spam matches?

>>58167932
dustlet

>>58168011
Troons probably think ships are racist because that's how slaves were transported

The dozo is easy to solo, right?

>>58168041
It was a lighthouse tender. So it's pretty far from slave transportation. Troons are stupid.

>>58168022
>Brainlet

>>58168062
The lighthouse guided the ships full of slaves

>>58168011
Appeal. In fact, when I appealed a rejected submission that was boosted, it almost always got accepted after the appeal was reviewed. It seems Niantic itself reviews appeals or at least boosted appeals. Explain what you just said and put in something about the ship being representative of your coast or something for good measure.

>>58168016
>Do I need to win or can I just spam matches?
You could lose every match but that would give you a very small amount of stardust, around like 600 (better than nothing I guess). Best you can do is tank (picrel): You get to level 20 in just 6 days and remain there enjoying the dust, candies and the occasional legendary. After you follow picrel and get to level 20, you should do 4-1/0-5/4-1/0-5 /4-1, as in win 4 out of the 5 games the first match, then lose every battle the second, win 4 out of the 5 games the third, and so on. This way you stay in the relatively same ELO and enjoy.

>>58168047
It's a tier 3. Arceus could appear in-game and be soloable if it's a tier 3 raid.

>too hot during the day to enjoy a long walk while playing
>leave an hour before sunset when things start to cool off
>on the way back a gay crackhead follows me for a block and a half yelling at me that i’m cute and should wear a v-neck
At least I got two shinies.

>>58168509
Are you gonna get a v-neck though?

>>58168606
I have too much chest hair to pull that off, I think

>>58168613
The point of a v-neck is to show off your chest hair.

>>58167428
I want my work stop to become a gym so I have a spot to reliably get coins, but it keeps getting rejected cause duplicate

>>58167425
It looks like ass but a re-sized pop up window let's you use the navigation bar

see you saturday shinylet

>>58168887
sparklet or even shinelet would've worked better, you want two syllables max

>>58168011
Don't submit google maps photos or watermarked ones. Also the AI checks exif data and if the camera and phone model doesn't match the one you use to submit it through the pokemon app, it flags and automatically bans you )).

>Daquan King Jr memorial boulder
>approved
Should have thought of this sooner

>>58169053
Is that a real jogger in your area?

>>58169058
Nope, completely made up on the spot name. That’s the funny thing, nogs die constantly for reasons that are not newsworthy so there is really no telling if it’s a fake name or not. And trannies know this subconsciously, so they don’t even question it. They see dead nog memorial, and just assume it’s correct and legitimate

It's been 3000 years...

>>58169076
bro you're at 7%...

>7 millon XP from free Timed Research

Not sure if worth it, they seem relatively easy at the moment but who knows how annoying they will get

>>58169100
I'd been out for the day and was actually at 1%, spotted that near the house on the drive back, grabbed a minute's charge and then darted out before the fucker despawned.

>>58169575
Also Impidimp for Wild Area
And Sinistcha teased (the matcha set next to the black guy)

Finally a good fucking season

>>58169575
Finna have to take out a second mortgage for this season smdh

>>58169575
I like how they’re finishing off the initial megas in time for ZA megas
Mega Mewtwo will definitely be saved for some go fest type event eventually

>duraludon
Umm where’s archaludon?

>>58169795
I still don’t understand why Sharpedo and Camerupt took this long when they are on the lower end of things. They seem like they should have been some of the first

>>58169076
This took me like 5 days, did you not do the trick to check stops like I told you guys to?

I wonder what they're gonna do about G-max Duraludon when Archaludon exists. I guess they just won't let G-max Duraludon evolve while D-Max ones can evolve into Archaludon.

>>58169817
I think they wanted to save them for a Team Aqua/Magma-themed event but gave up at some point

>>58169817
They were stalling for time while the new Megas from Z-A got announced.

>>58169825
Totally not related to this, but man G Duraludon sucks so much. Most the situational Gmax move ever created (just gives a free spite instead of lowering the enemy team's attack)

>>58169575
do Giovanni encounters change with the turn of the season or once his new research pops up? Still got one radar

>>58169865
Giovanni changes during Taken Over events, which happen within seasons. It's still gonna be Giratina for a couple more months.

>>58169880
oh alright, thanks

>200 candies and 20 apples to evolve Applin into Dipplin
>then 400 candies and god knows what else to evolve Dipplin into Hydrapple

>>58169964
Paldea stone evolution

>>58169964
Hydrapple will require you to catch like 50 dragon types

My faggot snom is always giving me some dumb shit. Oh boy, seven (7) berries I never use? Thanks bud. Can’t it give me something useful like ultra balls?

>>58170009
those aren't on the buddy gift drop list

>>58170009
Snom should give me rare candy xl and remote raid passes

also dynamax abra!

>>58170200
I actually like dyna so I'm happy

Just hoping for Dyna 2.0 where we can actually show off our Gmax forms to people because flexing is fun.

>>58169825
When you try to evolve it, a message will pop up saying:
>If you evolve this Pokémon, you will no longer be able to Dyna/Gigantamax

>>58170202
>Just hoping for Dyna 2.0 where we can actually show off our Gmax forms to people because flexing is fun.
?
If you put your Gigantamax Pokémon into a power spot, they will show as such so you can show them off already.

>>58170210
I'd like it to be a little more blatant DESU. Like, other people should be able to see them without having to beat the power spot boss.

I got all of the dynamax legendaries. Which ones are actually worth investing in?

>>58170200
I have 10000 Abra candies collecting dust so I don't mind. Alakazam kinda sucks in battles/raids though.

>>58170273
Latios, Urshifu Single Strike and Raikou are the highest tiered dynamax legendaries currently.

>Another Kanto event
>No Mewtwo rerun

>step 5 already has a trade requirement
it's over

>>58169575
Dunno if its because of the Scopely buyout but the game seems much more eager to milk the whales lately so I can only hope they make mega Fug remote-able this time around
Also when the fuck are they going to add more pseudos to dmax? Its been a year and metagross is still the only one. Or better yet, something rare like rockruff or something thats otherwise region-locked.

>>58170009
>he doesn't know
Just stuff whatever pokemon you have guarding gyms full of berries and you'll occasionally get candy, its not a lot but its better than nothing and its helpful for things like larvesta and snom

KANTO!!!!!!!!!!

KANTOBROS WE ARE SO BACK

Kanto more like, no thanks bro.

>>58170273
I disagree with >>58170362
Zapdos has higher dps than Raikou (the latter being slightly more bulky, but that doesn't matter for an attacker); investing in any of the Urshifus is bad because they don't have their signature move and we will get their Gigantamax form at some point (they are also outclassed by other moms); Latios is good but it's outclassed by Metagross (psychic) and Eternatus (dragon).
My recommendations would be:
>Electric type attacker: Zapdos
>Flying type attacker: Moltres
>Good defender: Latias
>Generalist/best Dragon type attacker (very expensive): Eternatus
If you don't have a Metagross or can power up Eternatus then also go for a Latios.

>>58170529
>Generalist/best Dragon type attacker (very expensive): Eternatus

i genuinely don't understand raids and all that. all i do is pull out my phone when i'm walking around to catch pokemon when i'm bored.

>>58170557
I was like you once...

>>58170557

What do you not get?

>>58169053

>>58170557
Zased… so fcking zased…

Hawlucha bros, we're coming home.

>>58170518
Imma spend 5 bucks on the KANTOOOO research

>>58170557
Raids can be fun or frustrating with randoms. I'm sure many people have had their experience completely ruined by randos who had no idea what was going on. I've hosted 2 Necrozma raids today and it was lovely.

lol

>>58171526
Considering how many times they edit those pages after they upload them, I wouldn't be surprised if they made the pictures exclusive to infographics because they got sick of constantly having to fix them when they're either implemented incorrectly or broken in general.

>>58171372
>just walk
right, but the only task I have left is to beat rocket grunts
there aren't any within a half an hour walk
why the fuck would I walk more now

>>58168201
Nust to confirm, I have to lose 5 battles for every set on Day 1?

>>58171598
Exactly, (assuming you are at level 1), you will reach level 6 on the 5th set of day one.

>>58171651
I see, thanks

>>58169575
…Where are the seasonal spawns? Where are the raid rotations? Where is the event schedule?

ts been broke all day no cap

>>58171891
Mine has only been showing 2 circles worth of Pokemon. The rest are blank. Bravo, Scopely.

>>58169829
That’s actually a solid theory

>>58169833
That would make sense if they were actual good megas. Metagross makes sense. These two don’t. Same as us just getting Mawhile and Audino last year. They are Dex filler megas in this game

>>58171993
I think they use the mindset of always wanting to keep you at least one thing short of being able to complete anything. Where is basculegion and Goodra-H? Can’t have people completing their Hisui dex, they need to stick around until there’s a few new dexes before we can fill that one in! Can’t have people get all the old megas until there’s new ones on the horizon.

>>58172021
>No Arceus
>No Manaphy

Sinnoh is never gonna be completed

>>58172180
Arceus next year for the 10th anniversary.
Source: hanke told me.

How'd they even handle an Arceus event anyway?
You fight different types in raids to earn 'Arceus energy' to change it's type?
Then complete a quest to get a shinylocked Arceus with shitty IVs that requires thousands of candies to max out.

>>58172218
Its

>>58172218
Then a couple years later we get a shiny one, but it comes with a paid research that's limited time. The shiny has even worse IVs than the non-shiny. Luckily they give out golden bottle caps as a part of a different paid research event.

>send 7612354 gifts to friends
are these certified as the worst steps

>>58172273
If you don't have an alt, I'd say trading is far worse.

>>58172300
I guess. I have friends who play, so the 1 or 2 trades that I've seen as tasks so far are trivial. Send 24 gifts, though? Half my friends list is from 2018 and the other half don't open gifts anymore.

N-no...

That was fun

Do you think Kalos Tour next year will have raids for Zygarde with Thousand Waves/Arrows or for Mega Mewtwo X/Y?

How would the Zygarde moves even work as adventure effects, though?

Maybe something like:
>Thousand Arrows
Halves the time/distance needed for pokémon to spawn from incenses, lures and routes, so for example, instead of spawning every 3 minutes (regular lure) and 500 meters (route), they now spawn every 45 seconds and 250 meters
>Thousand Waves
Prevents pokémon that spawn from incenses, lures and routes from despawning during the duration of the effect, and also prevents them from fleeing the catch screen (does not apply to the Galarian birds thougheverbeit)

>>58168201
I see, is the losing to trick the matchmaking or something?

>>58168201
>>58173258
Also is there a recommended league?

If Lunala and Solgaleo had Moongeist Beam and Sunsteel Strike, would they still be completely outclassed by the Necrozma fusions?

Another Pokémon that I had no idea could be shiny.

>>58172563
>>use raidfinder app/group chat/whatever
>>58172803
>Just use PokeRaid

Those niggas delete everyone seconds after the raid ends so they can add the next batch of people they're hosting for.

>or post your fren code here
I'm not really interested in posting my code here. Filtering out the hundred adds from nerds in NYC or Long Beach or London for the one guy from an interesting place doesn't really appeal.

Tips for finding Kecleon for a hillbilly living up in the woods?

>>58174117
How many stops can you see from your house? You can check stops from half a mile away for a Kecleon, then if it’s there, don’t leave the stop screen (stops them from despawning), and go spin it. I read somewhere they stick around for either 30 minutes or an hour, so check every half hour or so on all the stops you can see while you do something else. It’s really luck dependent, though. I was getting 1-2 a day until I got something like 5 during one walk checking every stop I could see.

>>58173258
>I see, is the losing to trick the matchmaking or something?
Yes. There's a secondary ranking only visible once you reach Rank 20 ("ELO"). This decides who you're gonna end up fighting against. If it's too high your fucked, you will be matched against PvP autists (who wanna climb ladder), if it's too low you are also gonna be matched against PvP autists (who tank). That's why it's best remain in the middle (around 1000-1200 ELO).
>>58173267
>Also is there a recommended league?
Not really. Best thing you can do is open pvpoke, check the meta mons of each league and use whichever you have that doesn't require much investment. Later on you can invest in ones that have good PvP IVs (if you want to): Low Attack and high Defense and HP (this works for the Great and Ultra leagues). If you are really into raids you might already have good Master League Pokémon for example (Zacian, Zamazenta, Necrozma Dawn, Groudon, Kyogre, Palkia, etc.).

So they'll be doing a mega rush every week until Z-A is released, huh?

I'd sooner pay for the pass if it actively erased the eggs from my inventory.

>>sitting on a mountain of 10km trash eggs and 3 12kms in the bonus fields still
really starting to think 2/3 of you guys are fat and don't actually walk or play the game with what you complain about

>>58174682
It's only level 20, you can get it first week and have the extra incubator the entire month.

I’m not making it to level 50 in time, but i’m still on this task to get to 47.

These are my guys with >300 xl candies. The umbreon is 15/15/15. Most have functionally perfect stats. The Talonflame is already lvl 50.
Who’s worth doing? Melmetal has some actual utility but I should probably keep fishing for a perfect. Shuckle would be funny, but I doubt it’s useful in max battles anyway.

>>58174643
> they don't even give it to you at the start of the pass

>>58174643
I just want silver caps for fuck sake

>>58174749
Due to meltan counting as a "mythical" you always get a bunch of xl candies when catching them, so unless you were keeping it <2500 for ultra league and if dust isn't an issue you should have more than enough candies if/when you get a hundo in the future

>>58174643
So they finally realized that you getting a single use incubator a day was worth more than the price of admission?

My brother in arceus, you say you want to send gifts, but dont want to recieve gifts from city-slikers....
Just use the google doc in the op which has peoples countries listed with them and stop your crying, its a problem of your own making

without this 7mil xp crutch, is it possible to get 9mil xp before the level change

>>58174959
Most likely not unless you paypig.

>>58174192
Not Mewtwo though loool
>>58173936
Guess I'm getting more shiny Latios

>>58174974
fug
gotta go hard on the shitty 7mil busywork then I guess

>>58174945
I have no issue with sending gifts to people who live in cities, but when I've got four people from Manhattan who I can get gifts from already, I'm not interested in just posting my code and getting dive more of them.

>countries
Fucking useless without at least vivilion regions

>>58174959
Within a month and a half? It will require a bit of effort but yeah
If you've got a ton of people on your friend list gaining levels by swapping gifts is a good source of xp. With the current pass bonus (which will presumably be the same as the season bonus in a few days) plus a lucky egg you get 150k when you reach ultra friend rank with someone or 300k for best friend
Plus there's all the other bonuses like 2k excellent throws or 10k max battles

>>58175089
Whiny nigger. If you want xp, you can either get friend xp from whoever or cry about it. Seems like you’d rather do the latter

I just found a Lucario in the wild. Is that normal? Stats suck tho

>>58175246
Yes, they can spawn and even be shiny

>>58174792
So melmetal is fine now? Melmetal and probably Umbreon then. Shuckle is still in power spots so the hunt never ends.

>>58174269
>steel skyline
That’s gotta be Duraludon, right?

>>58174181
I see I just pick Master League and then I spam low CP mons that die in one hit. Then for the matches I need to win, I switch to my strongest mons, which allows me to wipe my opponents team of shitters.

They should add like ultra rare raids where there's a 1 in 50 chance for a stop to start a raid outside of usual raid schedule and it will just be a raid for any random pokémon.

Would make actually going outside to check your gyms more exciting.

>>58175418
They should just have good raids. Oh wow, who is excited for even more regis and swords of justice? Did anyone say kanto birds yet again??

>>58175453
If it’s Kanto it’s got my stamp of approval, simple as

>>58172803
>>58172563
i dont care that its easy to do. its the certified worst task because its the only one that means you need to stop playing the game

>walk 5km
>hatch an egg
>beat up a rocket grunt
>do a raid
>catch a poke
>use a berry
all of these are completed by going and playing a game

>send 27 gifts to friends
cool, so I have to know this was coming and *not* have sent gifts (read: played the game) so far today, or go and add a bunch of randoms from third party rolodexes of friend codes for some fucking reason, because there's no way to add people organically actually inside pogo itself
it would be like if the complete 1 raid task actually said "use your free daily raid pass" or if the walk one was "walk 1km with your daily incense" because you can accidentally softlock yourself for 24h by simply playing the game normally
thats fucking retarded

>>58175470
This is why we need to kill the regis

>>58172803
giwtwm

>>58174181
Does it fuck everything up if my opponent surrenders before I do when I'm meant to lose?

>>58175507
Not really. It'll bump your rating higher but if it's an issue you can just surrender more matches to get where you want to be.

>>58175570
Makes sense

>>58175949
>Get ready—Gigantamax Toxtricity will make its Pokémon GO debut in Max Battles during Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global!
Did we not already have this, like 5 times? I'm so confused. I already have one.

iPoGo still unstable af

>>58175995
That guy linked 2024 wild area article for some reason
This is current one
https://pokemongo.com/gowildarea

>>58176026
>>58175995
For whatever reason using this link https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/global will take you to 2024
But going into https://pokemongo.com/gowildarea then clicking learn more will go to same page wth new info with https://pokemongo.com/gowildarea/global in address bar
Basically another niantic fuck-up for the list

>>58176036
thats funny, i checked and yeah lol nice webzone you got there saudis

I'm shocked. Wild Area actually looks non-shit this year.

>>58175366
>I see I just pick Master League and then I spam low CP mons that die in one hit
No, that takes too long. You can, immediately after the fight starts, quit and it works the same. That is better than the method you mentioned as it's faster and prevents the opponent from quitting before you get your loss.
>Then for the matches I need to win, I switch to my strongest mons, which allows me to wipe my opponents team of shitters.
Should work like that yeah
>>58175507
>Does it fuck everything up if my opponent surrenders before I do when I'm meant to lose?
If you're already at rank 20 and tanking, it will just increase your ELO by a bit, not the end of the world. What this anon says works: >>58175570. However, you usually wanna 4-1 so as to get the stardust, item, encounter and most importantly the rare candy. That is to say that if you win a battle you were "supposed" to lose, you can just ignore it and keep going.
Something important I should mention is that by tanking the way I explained (so 4-1 then 0-5 then 4-1, etc) you will inevitably go down in ELO because you are winning 12/25 battles. So there will come a point where it's favourable to win a couple more battles to return to the preferable ELO (in my experience that's 1000-1200), so if you win an extra battle here and there, as long as it's not consistently straying from the tanking strategy, you're good.

>>58175949
>>58176036
Is there anything good out of this wild area? The only noticeable thing is the new hairy goblin from gen 8 but that's not gonna appear in max raids AND it has a Gigantamax form so it's useless to try to get a good one now.

>>58170542
Is that not the case?

>>58176187
Shiny hat, but I already have a really cool one in SV
I like the idea of mighty spawns and I think the lake trio are in incense but feels like everyone got them from the raids a bit ago

>my nan needs mega salamemce
>local raid group was out tonight so I take her up there
>have to carfat it because she is 88 and a very slow walker
>sitting in the car doing the raid
>nan says look at that dummy using mega venasaur for this raid anon, he isn’t helping at all
>y-yea but I’m sure we will be fine
>it was me, I picked the wrong team
It’s funny seeing her get worked up about her pokemans though.

>>58176424
Grandson I am disappoint

>>58176424
Thought that said my man

>>58175479
A lot of people just stop sending gifts to people they’ve hit best friends with, I know on my days off I’ll typically only send gifts to the people I’m still easing levels for. It’s not really that big a deal, if you care that much just go onto an app to get the number of friends requires to send gifts then boot them

>>58175502
How far away from platinum are you? Because that does suck and locks you in for at least three months of grinding

>>58176173
Some tasks require you to finish the fight and backing out negates that

>>58176535
You do you, anon. All I'm saying is that the most efficient way to get the losses you need is backing out.

>>58176530
>how far away are you?
Really depends on other people. I have like 8 people <40 days who would top me off, but it is what it is and there’s nothing to do about it

>>58176530
>A lot of people just stop sending gifts to people they’ve hit best friends with, I know on my days off I’ll typically only send gifts to the people I’m still easing levels for.

what the fuck is your dumb ass trying to say
none of this drivel at all changes the fact that one of the steps of the timed research being "stop playing the game and go copy paste friend codes from reddit for half an hour / wait for tomorrow" is retarded
i'm not complaining that it's hard, i'm complaining that it's fucking pants on head retarded

>>58176708
Shut up negro, no one cares

>>58176708
Part of the game is making friends anon, so it’s not “not playing the game” it’s actually forcing you to use a core mechanic

>>58176727
how do you add 30 people without using anything besides pokemon go itself?

>>58176738
Meet them in real life? Play at in person raids and send friend requests after? Post your friend code and social security number here?

>>58176849
real life is counted in "anything besides pokemon go itself"

>>58175502
I am at 56

>>58167932
700+ matches
>still not ace or beyond
JUST STOP PLAYING

>>58177081
There is no reason not to just throw for resources

>>58174269
>20 energy off for Pidgeot and 30 off for Aggron
This might actually be good for me. Although I get the feeling they'll limit the energy drops to people who've mega'd before. Hoping I'm wrong.

I catch every Lopunny I see

I sniff on farts

>>58172218
"Seek out all Pokémon."

>>58176849
>Post your friend code here?
c'mon, man, there was one fucking rule

>Meet them in real life? Play at in person raids and send friend requests after?
both of these are options, but you're not going to get the 30 fucking people you need from a single raid on a random day, and even if you manage to have added random people locally over the years of events, it doesn't actually the solve the problem that if you've already sent them gifts today, all you can do is wait for tomorrow (or have preemptively known you'd have a set of these tasks — get fucked if you've finished one set and then got another — and simply not sent gifts yet today)
when the optimal play strategy for completing these tasks is "don't play the game" something has gone wrong in the design stage

>Eventually, Mega Hawlucha will be in raids so you don’t have to go to Mexico to get one
Neat

I've got about 200 candy. Who should I dump them all into?

>>58178572
Snom

>>58178572
>I've got about 200 candy
You mean 200 rare candy right?
>Who should I dump them all into?
Can you Primal Revert your Groudon? If so go for that mon

>>58178572
mewtwo for the future mega

Wow how lucky am I?

>>58179455
Bretty good

>>58178572
hope you mean xl candylet

When looking at the leaked new mega list pretty much none of the new megas will probably have any use in pogo. Zygarde maybe, but
>implying I have enough cells for perfect
anyway. Or
>implying my Zygarde wasn't 10/12/12

>>58180031
hawlucha is super useful because i ain't ever fucking gonna go to mexico

>>58179455
I'm on a roll

>>58180086
I’m just getting repeats

>>58180031
Hawlucha is nice because it will be like Kangaskhan where it’s freed from its region lock

Excadrill is a go to for new players doing early content so it having a mega will help there and possibly even push it into higher level relevance

>>58180221
You're right. Also, mega Greninja could be powerful (if glassy) I guess. I wonder if mega eternal floette has potential for anything.

>>58180252
Eternal Floette already has stats, so you could look that up. I have no idea how real stats translate to Pokemon Go, though.

>>58180031
No new megas can compete with the Primals + Mega Fug, but there might be some uses for the fire and grass starters. Mega Floette might be interesting. Out of all of those, Mega Zygarde is probably the one that's gonna be on the same level as Primals + Fug, hell, it's also probably going to have an adventure effect instead.
>Zygarde maybe, but
>>implying I have enough cells for perfect
>anyway. Or
>>implying my Zygarde wasn't 10/12/12
Anon, the Go Tour in 2 years will be Kalos'. It's extremely likely that's when Mega Zygarde will appear in-game, and it's also very likely they'll give us another Zygarde for the event.
Also, I assume something similar to Eternatus' raids will occur: you will battle mega Zygarde in raids, but upon winning, you will not get an encounter, you will get some cells + mega energy.

>>58180310
kalos tour is half a year from now anon, what are you on about?

>>58180328
Isn't the next tour Alola?

>>58180337
kalos is gen 6, alola is gen 7

>>58180348
>I'm going insane
Good to know anon, then we're hopefully getting Mega Z sooner

>>58180310
Please tell me these aren’t official designs

>>58180364
are you stupid

>>58180364
They are interpretations of the leaks mentioned by leaker anon. So far, every single one has been correct (Dragonite, Victreebel and Hawlucha)

>running out of pokemon to mass evo
>friends still hoarding gifts with 1 day left to best friend
free xp sources drying up fast, we might not hit 50 bros

>>58180375
What? Victreebel doesn’t look anything at all like the official

>>58180310
What could be done to give other megas value? Right now there are almost no examples where you would choose something other than Groudon, Kyogre or fug as your mega in battle. Leaving the others to exist as adventure buddies for extra candy, and I don’t believe any types we don’t already have a mega for are on that list

>>58180429
just like with community days after a while, the new megas don't always need muh value

>>58180417
Anon, that image is an interpretation of photoshopped official art, it won't look exactly like the official art, but Victreebell is quite close
>Small mouth
>Fat body
>Big leaf behind its head
>Vines constricting its neck

>>58180429
Each gym should be able to have one(1) mega placed in it. It will decay like anything else so after a few hours it will be trivial to knock out, but it does make the more competitive gym areas more interesting

You should be able to take a mega into pvp. Its base stats determine what league it goes in, and its mega level is nerfed down to that league. So say you have a 1498 Banette. It goes in great league, and its power level is cut to 1500 in its mega form. Might shake up some of the meta
