Discussion Which one is better in ranked?

179 Upvotes

Which is the best support pokemon in the game? Whenever I play a match, I rarely see anyone using a support pokemon, so I'll be using that role. Which one is the most recommended?

I've used Umbreon, but I feel there are better ones

The rules:
1, A Pokemon must be placed in their own designated class.
2, A Pokemon may take up multiple spots, although discouraged.
3, Only one slot at a time.
4, The person suggesting the Pokemon who won will be mentioned.

We're almost there, what's last?

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 Info Guides for Beginners to Intermediates

I made some of these for my Youtube video, but I figured I'd post them here in case anyone might want them. The Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timer, nor the Map Timers are mine, but I figured I'd include them just to spread the info.

I'll be making a lot more for everyone in the future, so please let me know if you appreciate it and what else you'd like to know.

P.S The "Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timers" chart is outdated. I wish I'd looked closer. Do not use the timers for reference. Instead, look at Game8 Guides or ask Google.

Guides and Tips Video Guide for Beginners

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.

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.

Well to be honest i run him with shell bell but the question is how in the world i tanked more damage then articuno? like he wasnt even afk and i saw him take damage all the time and he died like 4 times (i died twice) how in the world this happened.

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

Discussion The true "hidden" problem

15 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.

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 Can we talk about how uninteresting the defender and supporter releases have been?

66 Upvotes

Aside from the fact I am pretty sick of attacker / all rounder releases 24/7, it seems like the trend lately has been to make defenders and supporters extremely one dimensional or lacking in depth.

Articuno is self explanatory and really just hugs enemies until they freeze, Meganium ends up not too far away in playstyle as more of a spammer and at best a harasser with little to no depth.

I think this kind of design philosophy only exacerbates the problem of the playerbase being 80% attackers. There are few supports that really push for a unique playstyle with mechanical depth, so even the ones who enjoy playing the classes can get tired easily... And that's without going into the fact that the game seems fixated on making sure supporters and defenders are stereotypes in Mon choices too.

I know many are complaining about the starters and legendaries, but honestly more than that I am pretty sick of the emphasis put on attackers and all rounders, and the few releases outside those 2 classes being so restricted or basic. And honestly speaking, the leaks don't have me interested at all, I can already see all 3 being either attackers or all rounders with one at best maybe potentially being a supporter, but I'm not holding my breath.

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).

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. 😭

Discussion Starter/Legendary Fatigue

Post image
263 Upvotes

I'm so exhausted from seeing starters and legendaries taking up most of the new releases. Not only are they always so bland, most of them are also usually too big compared to the other mons that it looks so disproportionate in game. They should have kept all the large legendaries as bosses/mini-bosses only.

There are so many better options to release, and here are just some my examples: Volcarona, Malamar, Hawlucha, Electivire, Scrafty, Alolan Marowak, Palafin, Gholdengo, and Bastiodon.
