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!
8 pearls, 11 big pearls, 1 pearl string, 1 stardust, 1 star piece = 74,500 Poké-Dollars
if anyone needs Mareanie let me know, currently breeding them, and have 4 spares.
Do they have their HA?
Not yet no. But figured if there are people who want to breed their own, and not endure trying to catch it as it’s quite a pain to get lol
Omg yeah it was, I finally caught one earlier this morning, was trying to get its HA xD
If I hatch one with the HA ill post here 🙂
I’ll keep an eye out! :0
72 hatches, still no regenerator xD
So, third day asking, but I really am interested! How is everyone doing solar? Any new Champs? Any kahuna killers? Trial trumpers? UB catchers? For me, I finally finished the long UB side quest, and caught the extremely difficult Necrozma.
I’m putting UB’s and such on the back burner to hatch some eggs and get stuff im missing off of the GTS
Oh nice! BTW, level up your Pokemon. The UB side quest is sort of….tedious. You need to catch 4 Buzzwole/Pheremosa, 2 Xurkitree, 2 Celesteela, 1 Kartana/Guzzlord, the actual battle with the Fairy Captain, and another battle (hint, they’re empthatizing use of Fairy-types in this one) with Nanu.
My team is in the 80s, I think I’m okay 😛 hahah but thanks!
IN THE 80S?! Wow. I was in the 60s and I was able to win (my Primarina was highest at 73).
HOW DID YOU LEVEL THAT MUCH?!
grinding xD I’m levelling up mons to fill up the pokedex and such, and work on getting the actual competitive ones I want at the right levels
But grinding wheeeeeeeere?
Vast Poni Canyon
Huh…
I finished the UB sidequest and I’m about to go after Necrozma. I’m really excited!
That’s fantastic! If you have Lunala, USE IT. Mine was at a lvl 64, and Necromanza kept using their OP defence rising power, yet I was able to get it to 9 HP, and after some turns or so where Lunala got hurt about halfway, healed, failing moves and balls, I caught Necrozma!
I’ve been collecting Pokemon to fill out my boxes and to develop Pokepalago and collecting the UBs
soon i’ll hit up the Battle Tree for items for competitive
get a Talonflame Egg nanny
learn how festival plaza works and start hunting down dittos and things with trace and synchronize
i have a busy week this week so i doubt i’ll make good head way
Oh nice!
my biggest quest it to collect all 100 Cells
i think i am around 67
I actually have two Zygardes in ORAS/XY. One is a lvl 100 someone gave me, another is another lvl 100, the one I caught myself. I’ll put both inside and make a 100% Zygarde!
brb i’m in a flame war
some loser thinks Sonic Boom is actually good
Lol
The damn fool
he actually said it has likable characters and good writing
Surely Earthen cannot let this go without punishment
Heading to the Ruins of Life to take on Olivia. Should be some fun stuff right there.
She’s especially easy with a Popplio.
No Popplio, but I got Dartrix (lv. 32) and Slowpoke (lv. 28)
OK so I posted this earlier, not sure if anyone is able to do this now, but here we go:
Can someone who can breed in gen 7 test something for me? It could be quite interesting to some.
Could someone breed a starter with a male in their egg group caught in a different ball and see if it passes down at all. Also can someone try both a Male and Female in different Balls with a Ditto? I want to know how Pokéball inheritance works in gen 7 after some rumours I’ve read. If Males can pass them without Ditto we may be able to have things like Safari Ball Rowlet, Dream Ball Popplio or Sport Ball Litten etc.
Who can’t breed;
The Tapu Squad
Ultra Beasts
Solgaleo and Lunala
Cosmog
Necrozma.
That isn’t what I’m asking. I’m asking about Pokéball inheritance with breedable Pokémon.
I have no idea.
I’ll probably have a breeding session later, I’ll tell you about the results. Male in weird balls + ditto or male in weird balls + female in pokeball can easily be arranged.
Great thanks, it could have both good and bad news for people who collect these things.
I posted my findings so far but here’s what I have:
Genderless in special ball + Ditto = Egg in special ball
Male in special ball + Ditto = Egg in special ball
Genderless in pokeball + Ditto in special ball = Egg in pokeball
So basically a lot of male-only Dream Ball pokemon can now be legit bred.
OK thanks, I had read somewhere that someone bred 2 Oranguru in different Balls together and they got offspring in both kinds. This means at least some new combinations are now possible. Looks like I need to obtain some more stuff to complete my Dream Ball collection. Thank you for testing this for me 😀
Ok I guess I need more testing with the 2 balls male and female later. I’ll try to have a bigger sample size for male+female when I do it again and it can confirm if it’s 100% female balls or 50% each. We’ll see… 🙂
It may be to do with the species. Same+same=either ball passed, different+different=only female ball passed.
Tsareena learned High Jump Kick in the middle of the climactic battles just in time to whoop Bewear’s butt!
Oh wow.
Some real anime shit right there
I didn’t want to teach it to Tsareena as I didnt want to give up a Grass type space.
Only move I’ve used on Tsareena the whole game is Trop Kick lol
Lol, I didnt’ use it that much as I caught it way later in the game and it was behind. Just caught it cuz it’s beautiful.
That trainer:

lmao gold
Timer balls are your friend when it comes to catching Beldum….I suggest having a ghost type as your lead tho haha
Plot related
one of the answers to Lillie’s new outfit should have been an attempt to hit on her
OH MY GOD HER ATTEMPT AT A Z MOVE DANCE. SO PRECIOUS.
i dunno i like the ponytail but the short hair isn’t doing it for me
Like even if it wasn’t romantic I really wanted to hug her so bad a billion times throughout the story
she is literally the most cinnamony cinnamon roll to ever exist
well there is also wicke who I am so glad is innocent. But Lillie is just precious and she is just so happy after she starts coming out of her comfort zone and decides she wants to be brave like the player
I’m still trying to get Vulpix HA after my nap. Before my nap I forgot that Pokemon ran out of moves so the Vulpix that was alive used Struggle… XD
My Flareon that I cleverly named Cerberus because of its 666 CP is now 748 CP….
Pokemon S/M or Pokemon NotGO-od?
Of course Pokémon S/M is better
I’m talking about GO
Ohh, yeah I knew that lol
I need you guys to pray that I get my game tomorrow. I need all the prays I can get.
I can tell you this: It’s unhealthy to stay without this game for too long. I’m praying for you.
Yeah I actually got sick because I’ve been stressing about this game 😐
Oh Dam.
I was so addicted to the game I finished it less than a week!
1 like on this post = 1 pray.
I’m getting it tomorrow too ! The wait is seriously unbearable ! I’ve only been able to quench my thirst for it by watching let’s plays
Breeding (Genderless) Magneton in Premier Ball + Ditto = Magnemite egg IN PREMIER BALL!
😮
YES!
Yaaaaaaaas
This means the HA Dreamball Porygon I have was totally worth keeping. 🙂 When bank comes out I can finally reproduce that.
Staryu in Pokeball + Ditto in Dusk Ball = Staryu egg in Pokeball.
Whoops. No copying balls from Ditto. 🙂
Male Mankey in Great Ball + Ditto = Mankey egg in Great Ball!
So yeah, pokeball inheritance from males is here. No need to intentionally catch females anymore if you wanna breed special ball Pokemon.
Final test:
Male Mudsdale in Great Ball + Female Popplio in Pokeball =
…
…
Popplio egg in Pokeball!
Anyone know if you can catch Dhelmise from the Fishing Spot at the village in POni?
I did dis
Go to the Seafolk village to the Steelix bout
pop in and out for the bubble rings
What do you mean bubble rings?
the wavy things you’ll see them
Don’t question me
it has a 10% chance instead of 1%
How do you pop in and out?
go in, there’s a south exit where there’s a balcony just go to the Steelix bout and look around you’ll find it
OH THT’S WHAT YOU MEAN
bout friggin time
I already caught him a bit ago anyways.
Damn. Can’t believe there’s still more to go after that battle. Gotta stop for the night tho.
What battle?
Lusamine when she first releases all the UBs
Oh that battle.
Shits about to get crazy
Anyone know whether Necrozma is shiny-locked? I’m probably going to go for one in Moon if it isn’t.
IDK
All legendaries and UB are shiny locked
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/5ddebz/megathread_shiny_hunting_in_sun_moon_nonstory/
Ugh, I hate that. There’s no reason why legendaries shouldn’t have the same shiny chances as every other Pokemon.
Yeah it’s sad, I’d hoped it’d be something like Latias/os in ORAS which can be shiny. Both the story and eon ticket one.
If I remember correctly, I think I left all of the wormholes in Omega Ruby open for when I want to shiny hunt in the future. At least I hope so…
Yeah I didn’t wanna close them too. Even if I only reset for competitive instead of shiny so I already go Thundurus and Cresselia out of the way.
Is it possible to trade with ORAS/XY or is that strictly through the bank?
bank boi
and don’t even think about that until January
Ugggh but trade evolutions 🙁 Guess I’ll just go buy moon then -_-
that’s why i’m trying to get EV and breedables now
Yeah that’s what I’m doing, to round it out and see what I can realistically wait until the box for.
Or just trade online? There are entire communities just for trading pokemon ya know
But but but…I don’t trust anyone :3
How about on here? I’m sure there’s some people willing to help. Even myself.
Perchance, I don’t really know anyone here haha. I’m weird like that xD
i only help only if in return i get your power of attorney
I’d gladly give it to you, nothing much to have power over my friend 😛
I’m pretty sure my attorney doesn’t have any powers unless he’s secretly hiding it from me. /s
same here
check out the pokemon trading subreddit. From my experience it is the safest place for trading.
Anyone else using that fast egg trick.
It’s not “fast”-er than anything else as much as we can see the girl change her pose on the fly to indicate she has picked up an egg…
I meant to hatch it, my bad.
try the big long lane on Akala island
the northern most part of the island
That’s a good idea! Thank you 🙂
Once you have 5 eggs, you can use the up and down route in that area, you can also use festival plaza (as long as you can keep to the center of the thing).
Whoops eggs don’t hatch in FP but the steps count.
Haha thanks for the clarification 🙂
i just run up and down the route tbh, spinning around in circles is getting a tad dizzying
True lol, plus I’m a bit afraid of messing up the circle pad.
exactly how I feel. Besides, if you take the route, and go south and run through Heahea, it ends up being super quick. That’s what I do, up to brooklet hill, and then back down to the docks at heahea
I’ll take that approach instead, not worth damaging my Solgaleo and Lunala 3DS lol
Totem Vikavolt was the easiest one yet by far. I swept it with my newly caught Minior. I feel like it should’ve been a few levels higher honestly.
Agreed, it was def one of the easier ones *glares evilly at Lurantis*.
So far, easiest to hardest for me:
Vikavolt
Gumshoos
Wishiwashi
Lurantis
Salazzle
TBH totems are more difficult and fun than gyms
I totally agree they are more fun than gyms.
Mine were:
Vikavolt
Salazzle
One I don’t want to mention for spoilers
Gumshoos
Wishiwashi (tied with Lurantis for hardest, because i stupidly fainted the support wishiwashi, and it spawned in an alomomola who heal pulsed every other turn)
Lurantis (My trumbeak was one level from evolving and I was determined to get him to evolve from the kill, and he did :3 )
Some of the strategies of totems are so clever. After gen 6, I would have never expected GF to put that much thought into a story related battle.
Wishiwashi was the only retry
the rest were laughably easy
i spent 20 minutes getting the question wrong just to shock Sophocles
It was pretty funny
And you know why i did it?
Pure hatred?

Last call for anyone who needs a Mareanie, about to wonder trade off a whole heap of them haha
set one aside for me
rares sell good on GTS
So do starters, I traded a copy for a Toxapex among other ill gotten gains….
I’m doing Popplio next in hopes i get liquid voice
Ill gotten gains can be pawned off for even more
Any particular ability? I have Limber and Merciless up for grabs. Still no Regenerator.
ehh Merciless
Honestly the whole Merciless is good on paper but has such poop stats
Agreed, but I’ve done some testing on showdown, it can do some decent work
Ugh. GTS. The only thing that sells well is a Melloetta if you want a Rattata.
I got a litten for a Mareanie, and a Rowlet for a Carbink xD
That place is even eviler then I
That’s why you don’t just stare at the main page. You actually put effort into finding stuff you want.
There’s legend filters now. Times have changed.
Anyone got a Dhelmise they don’t want? I’m counting the days for Pokebank to be active on sun/moon so my dear Jellicent can join my team.
Well, Dhelmise is a very hard Pokemon to catch, so sorry 🙂
I have one, i put the effort in and now i will breed them and sell the fodder and make bank ECONOMICS
Dhelmise can breed?! Also speaking of which, I have about 20 Dittos or so so I can give anyone one for a small price of Alolan Vulpix!
I also accept Turtonators.
I’m gonna be attempting to catch one in a bit, and then I’ll try to breed it. If I’m successful, I’ll give you one.
What’s Kukui’s deal with the number 4? xD
Oh by the way
Listen up chumps
I highly recommend you start breeding and hatching ASAP, if you hatch over 20 Eggs the IV checker will enable you to check IVs from the PC
A must have for any serious competitor
wait what?! I’ve hatched over 100 eggs I don’t ahve the ability to…Where’s the IV checker lol
Near the battle tree. I read it on serebii. Not there yet myself.
Ah okay, I’ll go check it out then. Sick
:O
THIS IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO A BREEDER SINCE SOMETHING.
Male and Genderless can now pass their Pokéball with Ditto and same species males can pass them with a female. Meaning we can now have legit hidden ability Bank Ball ‘mon. I think that’s pretty major too 🙂
Not much of a competitive battler, but I think I’m gonna give it a go ahead this time around.
“Show me your moves”
– Kukui, 2016
“My body is ready”
In Moon, something makes me feel like people are gonna ship Lillie and Ash
:0 They fixed Gunk Shot’s animation! It’s no longer a stupid garbage can xD
Thank Arceus lmao
What is it now? I know the move, I saw the garbage can move, but how is it now?
Why do I hear an aether leitmotif in Guzma’s theme? I don’t know the whole story, so this might be foreshadowing.
I heard that too!!
It is foreshadowing. I didn’t notice it the first time around.
Just play and enjoy 😀 You may, or may not be correct
Foooorrrrrshadddddoooowwwing faaammmm
