As usual, Niantic has released some details on their next update for Pokémon GO!
This time around the latest update to their popular mobile game will make adjustments to the Combat Power of several Pokémon: increasing the CP of Pokémon such as Alakazam, Rhydon, and Gengar (mentioned specifically), and lowering the CP of other, unspecified Pokémon.
In the words of Niantic, “These changes will allow a more balanced and competitive battling and training experience in Gyms. We will continue to adjust the CP going forward to improve the game balance when necessary.”
No word on an official list of all the effected Pokémon, however if you open up the app the changes to CP have already been implanted! Check out Niantic’s official blog for their full statement!
In addition to this, in celebration of Thanksgiving, starting November 22nd users will be able to enjoy a week of double XP and Stardust!
Guess who finally got a Corsola? 😀
NOT ME!?!?!?!
Why catch a Corsola?
Trying to complete my Pokedex.
Isn’t it better (and smarter) to first use it to catch Mareanie first? Also, Mareanie eats Corsola.
…Today I learned that I am smarter.
Yesterday I learned that Mareanie don’t come out to help Corsola…
Yes they do, Mareanie was the first Pokemon to come out to help Corsola, they have a 1% chance of coming out.
Oh, you misunderstand me. I wasn’t saying that they don’t pop out. What I meant was that they don’t help Corsola at all. Corsola’s cries for help can draw out nearby Corsola to help defend it. However, when Mareanie hears Corsola’s cries, it’s as good as a dinner bell. Mareanie attack Corsola. They want to eat them.
Oh that’s what you mean, and yes I knew that. It sort of is cool to see that happen!
Quite easy to find them in bubbling fishing spots
Well I didn’t realize that you could easily move in and out of Route 1 and Melemele Sea to create infinite bubbling spots. That’s a portion of my life I will never get back.
Soft resetting works well too haha
Soft-resetting so should earn you an achievement or something. I do it all the time if things don’t go how I’d like it.
That’s where I found a Corsola who SOS’d a hungry Mareanie.
Still didn’t get that Corsola, though… :
Listen up Chumps and Chumpettes
Want to Check IVs like a Boss?
WELL NOW YOU CAN
After you hatch 20 Eggs talk to the Ace Trainer at the Battle Tree
He’ll be so impressed by you forcing Animals to fornicate he shall upgrade your PC to allow you to see what IVs they possess
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/138cf034e7d0585110d9d2aaa6836085f976fdad002ce3421ef9580c6cef2871.jpg
This Xurkitree has 151 to 186 IVs and those Labeled Best mean they are a solid 31 which are perfection
This have 3 IVs in HP, Atk and Def
Remember
Outstanding and Best are the golden words you want to see on your Eggs
are you going to soft reset for better IVs?
I have a Timid Xurkitree so I’m fine
I don’t like to use Legends
After fighting Olivia… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a4b30002b069deed373ac1aa5cf44163544d18f276e12d37ce6c80b10999e6fa.jpg
That’s me after my fight with Hau and his Alolan Raichu.. I have no idea why that thing hit as hard as it did
your using lycanrock mid day when your avi is lycanroc night

Wow that’s rough. My Mareanie swept the first two Pokemon and then injured her last before falling. Then I used my Mudbray to finish her off. She didn’t seem that tough to me. My Mareanie was lvl 26 and my Mudbray was too I think.
And here I am just completing Kiawe’s trial with a party of levels 28 through 31. (._.)’
I tend to unknowingly over-level in Pokémon games. I guess it’s cause of my pacing.
My Exp. Share is off, that’s the reason I’m so underleveled
Ohhhhh..! That explains it. (-_-)’
Emergency! This is during the festival after the defeat of the elite four. Is it possible to soft reset Tapu Koko’s nature after capturing it now, if so, what nature should it have I need an answer soon as I am encountering it now.
If it’s your first time encountering it, KO it and catch it later and you will have an easier time to SR it. Also go Modest/Timid.
Thanks. I ended up catching it anyway. Luckily I have two games. It ended up being Adamant-which is lucky in its own way-so I guess I can use that Tapu Koko as a physical attacker/pivot considering it already has a high physical attack.
-Wild Charge
-Brave Bird
-U-turn
-Filler Move
Hm, looks good!
Someday that filler might become Knock Off with Move Tutor.
Thanks.
I am proud to say that my team can finally tank up hits and one shot things.. and run away most of the time from wild encounters. AFTER 5 TRIALS
Pokemon showdown is full of aegislash and UB it’s awful lol. They also banned Zygarde complete form to ubers.
I know it’s disgusting
That’s a deserved ban though.
Don’t mind it being upside down
I’m dying

Welcome to the party friend! You’re going to love this game! I know I am lol
Yaaaaas
I thought it didn’t come out till tomorrow in europe
https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYGzh7pUL2SOyty/giphy.gif
It’s 1pm/2pm (depends where you are) in Europe and I got it at midnight :p
Enjoy your stay, you will love it.
Why are some of these new pokemon so hard to find our have weird capture mechanics. Most of them have a 10% encounter rate. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wl-qmEZHrBc/UAV71na0KQI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/x_lUuMxJSto/s1600/aint-nobody-got-time-for-that.gif (rf)
Or are only available via SOS or whatever…..very weird lol
Normally I would say trollish things like “deal with it”, but I guess we’re at the whims of
Arceusthe Game Freak gods.Just breed your starter and trade it on the GTS for a Mareanie. :p
Well hello there! I just went to the Sun and Moon website on a whim and found that they updated with art and what not for more Pokemon. Pokemon being Salazzle, Golisopod, the Dewpider line and a few more. Even tho the games are out it’s cool to see their art and stuff. lol
There is also Dream World Art, of at least Salazzle that I’ve seen on Bulbapedia.
Yeah I think the dream world art has been out since Friday or so. It’s what people have been using for art as the official normal art is still not available yet for many.
All here http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_Dream_World_artwork
Group Question of the Day! Name 3 of the hardest/difficult Pokemon (Ultrabeasts excluded) to catch or/and find!
For me, this is my list;
1. Mareanie
2. Bruxish
3. Mimikyu
1. Mareanie
2. Castform
3. Bruxish
How do you get Castform?
You fight Alolan Vulpix/Sandshrew then chain until they call a Castform ally.
Wow that’s hard, and you can’t get Castform in Moon?
1: Feebas
2: Pichu
3: Stufful
My son <3

Fabulous since hatching. Before you realize he’ll be singing to britney songs in the shower
Kelly > Britney
Ok Toxapex is on my hate list
And I love the thing. 😉
So it’s good? I have a Mareanie that I’m using. It’s not bad for me so far tho it has Limber rather than Merciless. Either way I’ve heard Toxapex is sort of a wall in certain situations. Looking forward to finally evolving it lol
It’s the new Ferrothorn
Awesome lol
T_T
Sorry for you sadness lol
I’m extremely pissed off
Everyone on showdown has nothing but Tapus and UB and Aegislash and my team only works for non legends
Then adapt your teams
The Tapu and UB only have 570 BST so they’re likely going to be staying in OU sans Pheromosa and Kartana
I hate having to change my team just because everyone cheats by having so many legends
It’s not cheating, it’s within the rules.
Please, if you’re using 6 legends your cheating
I’m sick of seeing the same 10 things every match, you must admit it’s annoying
Well it’s still within the rules.
But I’ll admit it: I would love a no legends/UB OU. But it’ll never happen. When in
RomeShowdown we have to go by their rules…But I haaaaaaate that, it’s always letting those jackasses have THEIR way
Hahaha, just use legends/UB. Free yourself. There are legends/UB that are brutes and right up your alley. 🙂
Or you can try setting up your own Showdown server that has a no legends meta and see if people want to play it.
No I don’t want to be a fucking hippocrit and use legends to win
And like anybody will go on a server that restricts Legends
To me it’s not gonna be hypocrisy, it’s a change of heart/mind. 🙂
Bullshit it is hypocrisy
Blame GF for introducing basically 11 OU-level legends (12 if you count Silvally).
I do, and I blame Smogon for not having a non legends ladder
But like this and in every situation I’m on the losing side always
Good
I’m guessing you don’t need Pokerus anymore right?
Sounds like those glitches from earlier were due to people hacking their games. The tool they used to edit their games f’d them up.Still probably best to stay on the cautious side, but for normal people it sounds like it’s a nonissue
I’m wondering if when transfer is available if Male Kanto Forms can pass their Pokéball to their Female Alolan counterparts. Would allow for Dream and some Safari Ball versions and allow for more Apricorn ones if they can’t be bought at all. Also DBHA Kanto Starters, Gothita and Pikachu will now be Legal.
January
Yeah, do we know the exact day? I think I read the 17th, is that right?
My brain tells me the 5th
Even better 🙂 I’ll go check somewhere. I hope it isn’t delayed like last time.
If you breed with female Kanto mon without everstone, they will hatch into Alola form.
Also without everstone: special ball Male Kanto mon + Ditto = Alola form with special ball.
How do you know this?
I read the dataminers’ research on Kanto forms. 🙂
I don’t have a link right now but it’s out there.
Basically Kanto mon + Kanto mon, x + female Kanto mon, Kanto mon + Ditto = Alola mon unless everstone is equipped.
So my Popplio is Jolly ;-;
Yay for challenge?
SR now 🙂
I can provide a modest or egg of a modest one if you want.
Hey kinda decided to hatch some eggs from some island scan pokemon. Anyone want a Honedge?
If you want, I can provide Marills later. I just need to breed it.
No worries. I’m all about giving people pokemon, I don’t care what I get in return. I”m wondertrading off the bulk of my stock right now, but I figured I’ve save a few for you folks if you wanted them.
Well it’s only fair to trade scan Pokemon for scan Pokemon anyway…
Apparently, saving inside Pokemon Centers and reopening your game can cause your game to be glitched. Just a heads up.
Sounds like that was just from people using a tool to edit their games. Caution is still good, but It sounds like unless you tamper with the game using that tool you should be good. But again caution is always good.
Chill, cause I ALWAYS save at Poké Centers unless I’m out adventuring and need to save. I love loading up the game and seeing my avatar in a center ready to continue his journey. Hoping this is really just a false alarm.
Yeah as far as I know it’s only affecting people who have edited stuff using a program, but again best to stay cautious
…Which program might that be? You know… for the sake of research.
From what I saw it was called PKHeX save editor
Am I the only one that dins Salazzle off putting? Like I like the over all design in a way, but there’s something overly creepy about the way it’s designed that makes me….want to take a step away from it……Like for one it’s incredibly “sexy”….idk if that’s the word I'[d want to use on an animal, but it’s the only one I can think of right now…..anyway……It also has hands that are freaky too. Not only are the fingers super long and slender, but she also has 5 of them. All of that coupled with the Salandit description of them having pheromones that attract both Pokemon and humans alike is well…..like I said off putting lo
No
I think that’s GF intention to make it that way… 🙁
Well then they did their jobs right lol
The way it had its mouth wide open during Kiawe’s trial was so creepy
Oh man idk if I’ve ever been more terrified in my life. I really wasn’t expecting that at all. I nearly jumped when I saw it hahaha
Either sack off to it or don’t I honestly don’t care
Nothing matters anymore
i think they did it on purpose, its design is intentionally “alluring”, the way it wafts is pheromones while also making a beckoning gesture. I like it, I think its super cool, I also like how they went a hot pink with the flames instead of red. I really want a shiny one.
Alright fucking done with Showdown
7 losses ALL BECAUSE OF UBS
I’m sure it will be prohibited soon enough, they just need to wait until all the research and testing comes to a lull. from what I understand, pheramosa is cancer on the game at the moment.
NO FUCKING SHIT I LOST BECAUSE OF IT THIS VERY SECOND
Petting Salandit is THE cutest thing ever <3 <3
no, stufful/bewear. also, all overworld stufuls get the most adorable award. Olivia’s room is heaven.
Okay but the look it gives you when you rub its tummy tho
yepp I love my salandit! well, shes a fully grown salazzle now haha
Quick question. What is the booth that offers a set to reset EVs called in Festival Plaza? Also is there any other way to reset EVs in the game?
I don’t know about any complete resets yet, but…
Friendship Table can provide food that increase friendship and reduce EV’s of specific types. And the EV reducing berries are still there.
Thanks.
It’s the cafe for me, and if your mon has max friendship, consider yourself screwed and enjoy the hours of berry farming that await you.
Thanks as well.
Yw…. No idea why they removed super training… we can’t have anything nice
The most annoying Pokemon to catch so far is Oranguru, because it KEEPS SUMMONING TRUMBEAKS!!! GO AWAY!!! I’M TRYING TO CATCH THE ORANGUTAN!!!
spoiler alert, I caught it. FINALLY. >:v
Hey, haven’t seen you around in a while. I hope you’ve been enjoying the game!
It just wants some musical accompaniment for a jazz number about emulating humans, give it a break :p
Also, no spoilers past the second kahuna. I just made it to the third island and saved. that’s it.
SPOILER ALERT! Kukui is replaced by a clone who breaks up with Burnet, and we have to find the real one!
Ok, not really.
How do you already know the plot of Pokemon Star!!
My drampa is a disgruntled former Nintendo employee who leaked the plot to me!
Ok
Tapu Bulu, Ash-Greninja, any UB is fucking cancer
So are kingler and crabominable :p
I dislike you with great intensity
Well it’s not hate, I’ll take that as a good sign!
Screw that, hate for everything
ok Xurkitree is not cancer. I understand pheromosa, but the others aren’t that bad.
Just because your team can’t deal with them == cancer
Dude Ass-Greninja has boosted priority Water Shuriken
UB beauty is too fast and spams U-Turn
Tapu Bullcrap can get boosted horn leech, grassy heals it And leftovers
Ash-Greninja has to beat a mon first, before that you’re facing a Greninja with no ability
Pheromosa hopefully will be out to Ubers, thing should rot there
Bulu is extremely weak to Flying, Steel and Poison from any side, along with Fire and Ice
And its slow af
It still has high Special Attack and Water Shuriken which still has priority and 2-5 shots how can anything that’s not Grass stop that
A water type?
The only Water types is Golispod and Araqunid and they still get pushed around by Dark Pulse
My only chance is with First Impression
Araquanid is god, accept it
Not with its shitty defense
Still
Ummm, Nihilego? Guzzlord?
Haven’t seen any yet
Exactly, so it’s not any UB
They’re balanced
Fine Beauty, Absorbtion and Blaster
Blaster isn’t terrible though
I can agree with Beauty and Absorbtion, the latter I’ve died far too many times to
Blaster is easy to counter with special attackers
Yeah, Blaster is nice for the Metagame IMO
You’d think
I swallowed my salty pride and put a Salazzle on and it barely helps
The power of 4chan compels you
Like I give a SHIT the stupid thing has Skarmory typing which is the ultimate defense build allowing it to invest both ways
On that matter, Gliscor shouldn’t even be a ground type ;3
It has the whole desert scorpion theme
Gligar came first
True
It can still stall with Leech Seed WHY THE HELL DID THEY GIVE IT THAT
Lore reasons
Kartana
What’s a fire type again? 😉
If it doesn’t resist it any special attack kills it
Pretty much
Thank god for its lack of coverage
Yep! With slash, slash dance, slash with leaves, and even edgier slash as its only viable moveset
Why is Pichu so hard to find ;-;
hatred. that’s why. I have one, took me forever to find it.
Just found one! 😀
now you must decide: Pichu, or Happiny?
Pichu all the way XD
thank god the easier to find bonsly also SOS into happiny
Static is your friend
what other pokemon carry static that are easy to find in SuMo?
now that I think about it.. Elekid?
That isn’t for a while though
I’m not even fighting hau for the first time
Oh damn, welp I guess you’re stuck in Hau’Oli for a while.. Curse these 5% encounter rates
It’s fine, I caught one now! 😀
You would need a pichu…to find a pichu
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID HAHAHA
Looking for a better one?
Yep, the first one had a booty nature
lol the veteran couple near the battle tree
“We are so strong due to a lot of Marital Disputes! Haha…”
