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!
Does liquid voice/hyper voice bypass mimikyu disguise?
Those rhimbombees in the praire with the red flowers before Po town are op af. Also catching minior was a pain in a butt but i love him and palossand is amazing
So there are exclusive clothing colors to the other version?
I just realized from looking at my dye shop in Festival Plaza, I don’t have the following colors for normal clothes: Blue, Purple, Navy Blue and Green. Since I have Sun, I guess these are Moon-only colors?
There must be cause my brother who is playing moon has blue and green clothing options, but doesn’t have yellow 🙁 That’s so stupid.
Ah but fortunately the dye shop is a way to get the other version colors. 🙂
They just made certain colors rare. :p
Yeah and it sucks. I just wanted a pink skirt but nope gotta dye it
Yep, I wanted Purple. 🙂
I knew I should’ve done Moon.
ok so Guzma has a terrible personality and he’s like the biggest loser, but damn plumeria is awesome and so is Lusamine
I think Guzma was just shown off to be less serious than he was. Star version will make him better
he acts like a f*ckboi so I doubt it, he tries way to hard to be something he’s not
I want to compile a complete shopping list for competitive breeding ingredients
-Everstones and a Destiny Knot
-the most important thing of ALL is go find and contract Pokerus and spread it, Pokerus is hard to find but easy to spread after
-a gaggle of Pokemon with Syncronize and Trace for scouting
-a shit load of Dittos of the following natures (Adamant, Jolly, Modest, Timid, Impish, Careful) I’ll be breeding trading Dhelmise and Mimikyu for them
-False Swiper to enable Chains and easy captures
-a Flame Body Egg Nanny Magmar, Flechinder
-a route to effectively hatch eggs with little to no effort (I think the longest is route 8)
-Power Items which all cost BP
-Pokepalageo and Festival Plazedeveloped up the wazoo that will help a lot
Is there anything I missed?
I swear I feel I was dealt a low blow
Pokemon XY and ORAS I was a breeding machine, everything so easy and explainable now reduced to ground zero
A 6IV Ditto
I want one but you know they’re rarer then a “Mon-Violent Earthen”
I actually despise the EV training methods this gen. Gen 6 had it so freaking easy….why would they remove that kind of convenience.
I dunno
Jesus where are we going to freaking hyper level
I need my freaking Chansey and Audino slaughterhouse
And Chaining? That means we have to kill like a freaking bajillion in one sitting and what if they don’t call for back up
Ughhhhhh
And I need to compile a new Alolan OU team
do you catch wimpod early in the game?
You can get him before the Grass trial so that’s pretty early
thanks! what about jangmo-o?
right before the final totem
Team Aether has the best theme song
I wish Primarina got Pixilate.
it got something like pixilate lol
Yeah but it’s water type and pixilate would be better so it ca use hyper voice fairy and hydro pump
Does it give those attacks an extra boost like Pixilate? That is my main concern for the ability.
ATLEAST IT GOT A UNIQUE HA UNLIKE MY STARTER *pouts*
Oh did you hear what I did on my championship final blow?
no tell me good sir
It was when I was fighting his Primarina and it KO’d my whole team and Incineroar was only left and i had 14% health and it had 48%
I needed this last attack to be the perfect attack
I called out for the final attack to end it all here
Mega Malicious Moonsault Z!!!
Incineroar’s belt glew blue and black flames as his entire body was cloaked in a red and black fiery aura and dashed foward!
He roared causing a imposing Burning Arean to form from the ground, he leaped onto the ringside and grinned, the pole started to extend upward with Incineroar perched atop
Letting loose one final shout he dived forward!
Twisting and turning like a cyclone his body was descending like a burning meteor!
After three powerful flips he opened his body and black streams of flame ignited from his belt matching his insignia and collided with Primarina!
The entirety of Mount Lanailka felt the aftershocks of such a powerful attack
Incineroar stood tall and triumphant knowing he had won
Intimidate is good tough
ik. i always complain
No, no more Pixilate
I wish Incineroar got a Unique Ability
How about Showboating
“The User’s Attack and Speed increase for every Knocked out Pokemon”
That’s terribly OP
The difficulty on this game is good? Like i always have problems with totem pokemon (especially vikavolt).
I didn’t
My teams naturally ate every totem Pokemon except for Wishiwashi
I legit had nothing against vikavolt. And my magnetom couldnt 2hko mimikyu
Difficulty is based on what people had when they reached the encounter. Even Wulfric says so. <3
no totem swept me. i destroyed wishiwashi with my torracat actually
I havent lost yet, but i lose like 1 or 2 members
I lost once to Lurantis and without revives would have lost to Vikavolt, honestly I’m glad the game gives you so many revives because I have had to use them a lot even when I’m higher levelled then the pokemon I’m facing, id say its just the right amount of difficulty for a pokemon game but just on the edge of being too hard for kids
That castform lurantis combo was so good
I only ever got trumbeak with it, and it killed my ribombee that I was using against it
Yeah it’s MUCH better than the previous gens. Almost as hard as gen 4 so far.
Ok finally I get to the recycling center and the chance to change my Pokeball throw.
Heading to the supermarket of death now… time to toxistall that stupid totem.
http://static.zerochan.net/Mimikyu.full.2018626.jpg
you hurt its feelings
Acerola put it in my way, blame Acerola. :p
noooo i wont
Search your feelings, you know it to be true…
I keep reading it as Areola…
Oh here let me help it
*Kicks it into the river*
there goes the water supplies
WOW totem Mimikyu just swept my team without taking a single damage.
I swept that sucker
all these 1% mon through fishing is really annoying
Did you guys notice there is no special Box backgrounds for completing the main story?
That is a major bummer
Finally, my Shiny Feebas has hatched, 31/XX/31/31/31/31, I’m so happy with him!

If it’s male then it sucks
No, it will have blue and look amazing
http://www.animateit.net/data/media/feb2013/r7.gif
Nice!
omg so lucky. I’ve had bad experiences with MM.
So have I, though I’ve had amazing ones too. With Hyper training imperfect IV’s won’t be an issue anymore so that’s good.
I also have a female 31 / 31 / 31 / 28 / 31 / 31 one. Not sure which to use in my eventual Alpha Sapphire run.
This pokemon calling thingy is freaking annoying. Trying to catch a rockruff but it calls another one every round
Literally what happened with me and wishiwashi. It summoned 15 wishiwashis. 15.
I love SOS battles lol
They’re definitely annoying but everyone keeps saying they want more challenge. I kind of appreciate the headache they give me when I’m just encountering or catching random Pokémon.
Cool I have acquired Pokerus from GTS…
Get a bunch of Yungoos or Magikarp and spread it I’ll gladly trade stuff for one
i’ll finish this trial first, then I’ll spread it and just trade me some dex fillers. Got a Haunter or Machoke, in particular?
Whatever you need I’ll gladly find for you
But I’m at work and will be home at 3:15 so we’ll talk business later
No prob. Maybe later then! I already distributed the virus so it’s ready anytime.
Do we get the shiny charm for completing the regional dex?
That’s what I heard.
Yep!
Hey Guys Tommorow is the Release for Sun and Moon in Europe
im on my way to my local Gamestop they call and said i can get the games now
i will start tonight my Moon run im so fuckin Hyped i get both games but i start with moon i take Litten as my partner can somebody give me the other starters soon?
I’ll see if I can breed you a Popplio later
That would be very Kind of you 🙂
Do you want a certain nickname?
No Without nickname please
I can get more Rowlets.
Yes please
It’ll be a while before you have access to Festival Plaza which will let you internet trade. I’m about to take a nap but I’ll just check back periodically if I run into you.
At worst we will have to do GTS trade. No one’s gonna do Yungoos for Rowlet so you can put that up and I’ll put in a Rowlet, just state your In-Game Name so I can find you among the sea of Yungoos on GTS.
My Vulpix for someone’s Sylveon on the GTS, someone actually went for that!? 😮
Well at least it was Snow Warning Vulpix.
Maybe they just had moon and didn’t have anyone to trade with.
Well they were lucky they picked my Vulpix. They get their money’s worth. <3
Sheesh…. anyone else have trouble with Mallow’s totem Pokemon? Took me two tries…….what a pain in the butt lol
My brother fought it 7 times before he beat it. He only won because he used an X attack o trumbeak.
Like seriously. After I died the first time I had to think about my strategy before going in. And even then it was tough. My plan for the totems was to keep them alive for the final kill, but this time I had to take it down and then take out its helper mon……*sigh* lol
I like that they made X items viable for the campaign. I still just sell them though lol
Pollen Puff Ribombee OP 😛
rhimbobees are OP they are so fast and hit like a truck
I’m super excited to hunt my shiny one then
It took me one try, but considering three Pokemon fainted, not exactly what I’d call easy.
just wait until mimikyu
How Totem Mimikyu went:
Turn 1: U-Turn
Turn 2: Bulldoze
Turn 3: Bulldoze
Turn 4: Bulldoze
I win! But the AOE Pokemon almost fainted.
I’m having so much trouble. My team is not at all equipped to deal with fairy or ghost.
What is your favorite Ultra Beast? Mine is UB-02 Beauty
besides the box art legends
From what I’ve seen the Origami one and Glutton.
Pheromosa is broken
I don’t like any of them design wise. But Xurkitree is my favourite to use competitively.
How is it broken I’m curious?
Is basically a carbon copy of deoxys and has stab uturn so she can flee trouble
Oh hype
What nature is best for it when I hunt it? Adamant?
She can go mixed so i would go something that lowers defense and increase attack or speed whatever you prefer
151 base speed. And 137 mixed offences. HJK, Bug Buzz, Ice Beam, U-Turn hit everything really hard. Combine all that with the ability Beast Boost. Combine even more with Tapu Lele to remove priority…
What does beast boost do?
Every time you knock out an opponent it boosts your highest stat. So depending on how you’ve EV trained your Pheromosa it will get a boost in its Attack, Special Attack or Speed whenever you KO something…
Guzzlord and Buzzwole
Buzzwole and Guzzlord
Guzzlord and Buzzwole
I got a Careful Guzz and Jolly Buzz so I’m set for life
I thought Guzzlord was Lighting at first because Guzma 😛
Guzzlord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xurkitree is pretty cool 🙂
No
Either Celesteela or Kartana.
oh man, I don’t even know. I haven’t taken to much of a look at them yet, ive been filling my pokedex up. if I had to say first glance, Xurkitree, Pheromosa, or Celesteela
the greenish one with the pillars and stuff
lusamine battle was amazing. Her team not only has a theme but is strong af plus her battle with song? Iconic
The most fun part of competitive battling: When a Pokémon I love design wise is really strong and viable
The least fun: When a gross ugly Pokémon is stronger
Fun: Tsareena
Least fun: bewear and his incredible bulk
The least fun part: How I feel about every single Ultra Beast…
Fun: When a Pokemon I’m hyped for is GOOD. Or even better, when a Pokemon I’m hyped for is “I love it, but it’s gonna be low tier” (RU or something) and it becomes OU!
Least fun: Winning with hax
Ok Tapu Bulu is broken as fuck
Nope. Zyagrde Complete was broken. Pheromosa is broken. Tapu Bulu just hits really hard…
And doesn’t die
