I have a spare I can send your way :shifty:


Very tempted! Doubt I have anything worth trading for a shiny Magikarp though :lol:


Just send me anything 8-)

Also have a spare Pikachu, Evee, Charmander and the starter Pokemon.


What version have you got? If Sword, any shield exclusive Pokémon you need?

Neat, didn't know that was a thing. Bit gooseberry fool to waste a hold item on just being able to switch in tho lol

Combine them with Scorbunny's court change move and you can flip the hazards to the opponents side and steal any reflect/light screens they have. Such a ridiculous move :lol:

Anyone else feeling this?

There are counter plays, but yes, Smogon has banned Dynamax. Short-sighted and hasty move imo.

Only in 3 Vs 3 singles though.

And I completely understand it. Dynamax gives you 3 turns so you could potentially brute force OHKO all 3 Pokémon if you made the right pick.

I think it's good, gives 3 Vs 3 a different flavour to doubles battles. I kinda wish they'd implement it online as online singles is a bit too sweep heavy.

That I'd understand. But just went into OU 6v6 and can't dynamax.

Yep. Smogon seems to be the dominant single-player online force, so their word carries a lot of weight.

They could have at least added an OU OG tier for those who want to play the actual strawberry floating game.

Can't be any worse than Bede. Thought it was some annoying female but turned out it's a Male. Arrogant little strawberry floater especially after wiping the floor with him every time he's challenged me without even taking a hit.

Their hair is shaped like a sword and shield. Goes with names I guess.

Home. Possibly Detective Pikachu 2. Very random dream prediction - Nintendo announce a complete restructure of the franchise, turning the main series into an MMO that is released on the PC. What was once the main series of games is now just a side series.

Slightly disappointed that the patch didn’t do a thing to help doing 5 star raid battles using the ai, tired again to get actual players but again none turned up so was left with woeful ai/Pokémon against a 5 star Lapras that happily puts up 2, 5 attack shields :(

Had the same thing with a G-Max Snorlax. Took ten attempts and managed to luck out. I've found that Dynamaxing at the start in such solo sessions rarely works out. If you survive beyond the first shield then Dynamax when your turn comes around again, it helps to give you an advantage.

Sometimes raids are a bit slow. Tbh, I've done most with people from here and Twitch. I hope you are remembering to connect to the internet ,)
