Game Bug Login difficulties

Upvotes

So I guessed my post could go in this category but lately I couldn’t start the game anymore and it always tells me "the game has a new update restart your game to do it" so I press restart it installs the "update" and when I press play it again says "the game has a new update restart your game to do it" if anyone knows how to fix this

Discussion would it fair if there more point given to you when your teamate idle

Upvotes

i just notice it take 48 point to play in rank and game given you back 48 point _ extra (which is so little it doesnt matter much) back when idle detected in your match
and with the current low player count would it fair if the game give you more point when teammate idle detected

Discussion Old player, left after moltres release

Upvotes

Has the game become better now? Is it worth coming back to cause I loved this game but the Licence journeys and single movesets made me hate it.

Is it a good time to come back or nothing has changed yet.

Are Comfeybots gone, cause i remember seeing two or more in a single game around when I stopped playing hate those.

Discussion Which Pokemon do you never get bored of playing?

Meta or not, there’s always that one pick you enjoy every time. It might not be the strongest Pokemon, but somehow it just fits your playstyle. Who's your comfort pick, and why do you keep going back to that?

Discussion Draft Pick Exercise: Day 20 - Your whole team has "got your back"? Looks like they're willing to ban the three mons you request ban, as long as it's not their pre-picks. Which mons are you banning?

Welcome to Day 20 of Draft Pick Exercise! This is a series of posts in this sub dedicated to discussing the best picks in specific draft situations. The goal is to hopefully allow community members to help each other understand different matchups and better learn how to pick/ban in draft matches.

You may agree or disagree with each other in the comments. Remember to be civil and respectful.

Discussion Is your license journey progress grinded down to a crawl after you complete all the solo challenges? (Image unrelated)

I only have like 20 fights left on the agenda, and it occurred to me that after I get this, there would be no other source of license points other than the battlepass... which gives like 50 points every 2 days. Not exactly a desirable rate. If there another method to get more pokemon?

Guides and Tips Video Guide for Beginners

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

18 Upvotes

I wanted to make this guide for players that are looking to improve. Just to clarify, this is not self promotion. In fact, I'll probably even lose views on my main video because of this.

The reason I am posting my guide series here is because I feel like it's something our community needs. While there's a lot of info out there, some things can only be learned in-game, and sometimes it's just hard to know where to look. All I want in return is for everyone to take what they need and have more fun in their games. That's what's important.

Thank you, and stay awesome out there🔥!

Extra:

Why the Settings I mentioned matter

- Boosted Attack Gauge: Important for certain characters that rely on their boosted attacks to function.
- Advanced Controls: Allows you to target between farm and enemies. Good for securing wild pokemon or farm.
- Automatic Basic Attacks: Reduces the control you have over your character. Plus it feels much better to attack on your own.
- In-Motion Pursuit Mode: Makes you follow people automatically when you basic attack. Once again, it is a hindrance to your controls.
- Scoring from Hold to Press: Although this can be preference, it is definitely much easier to repeatedly attempt a score through tapping rather than holding.

Guides and Tips Night slash zoroark is IMPOSSIBLE

0 Upvotes

like, its not that i dont have the skill for it. I literally can NOT use this move. Whenever i try to connect my first slash, he just dont do it. He literally dashes forward and thats it. I see videos of people actually being able to chain this move, but its literally impossible for my game. Im playing on switch. Does anyone know ANY setting, tips or tricks to try and get this to work? Thanks.

Image explains itself. Dragonite running muscle band drain crown rapid fire scarf and proceeds to use hyper beam and dragon dance.
An IQ too high? Don’t be fooled by his damage, the one doing the most is Miraidon(poor guy kept getting blitzed) while the croc backcapped the entire match while the jet picked luster purge over telekinesis, and proceeded to waltz in and die after ignoring farm for stacks
I got united by 2 people during Kyogre, died and they scored we lost
Not every game is winnable but every game is throwable

Good luck telling which is which.

Jane! You're early.

Oh this isn't just the usual pleasure of having to farm Tink's passive off of a meat sponge defender or heal bot support. No, this is revenge on the Goodra for bullying me early-midgame. When I get that final evo, it's on sight.

Game Bug Picked Holowear from the Anniversary Box and now I can't claim it 💀

Every time I tap the Holowear card, the Pokémon info page pops up instead of claiming the reward. I've tried multiple times and got the same result. Is this a known bug or am I missing something? Already sent a support ticket, just curious if anyone else is dealing with this too. 😭

Like I get people who just like/favor the pokemon itself, but that damage is underwhelming to me. Don't believe Spinning Edge is worth it over Blaziken or Tsareena who pretty much play the same way. Or choose over any other allrounder(besides Palkia or Suicune).

Discussion The true "hidden" problem

16 Upvotes

Why is stunning and CC so broken in this game dude. I've been here since the start-ish and this problem has only gotten worse. You can argue if auto legendaries and all the new people playing legendary is just outskill them. But when it comes to CC warriors you just can't beat them.

I main dragonite, and my number one. Fear isn't a legendary or anything like that It's a blastoice, not because they'll out skill me, but just because all his moves stop me from doing ANYTHING. And that's just free combo material for any other teammate who can press A Button without practice.

Also why is the only thing in this game that can stop it sooooooo bad. Please buff full heal or nerf all stunning move idc about the damage just the stun effect.

I enjoy when the teammates are actually helpful and are nit just standing around and doing nothing.

Some just spam "thanks" and stand to the side and do nothing
