18 seconds is tonsil tickling 😂
Ngl less impactful changes than I wouldve thought. Like 3 new top meta mons the rest wont see any real sort of play outside of spice specific cups
I built greedent back when skarmory was meta. Glad I have it still
Glad that I kept my level 15 dynamax articuno from some research last year 👍 I’ll be able to try it out in great league
No poliwrath love? He gets mud shot as well. But counter is legacy unfortunately. So I gotta catch a better IV poliwag.
Few people thought Aura Sphere would be buffed into a Hydro Cannon clone so there is still a chance that Twister will become a Leaf Blade clone.
Without any buffs azu still top meta for seasons. All hail to OG!!!
Wing Attack buff? Time for Electric-type Pokémon to shine? 💡🤔
My purified Shelgon runs Return / Flamethrower👍🏻 might as well build a second one because I don't want to lose the nuke potential
I think I've used an elite fast tm about 4 times on Pidgeot the number of times it's switched back and forth between using Gust and Wing Attack. I need to just build another one lol
I’ve just played my first set with the new version – no way will I be playing the game if that’s the way forward. The whole mechanism is just weird and not enjoyable gameplay.
Where are new moves? I thought we would get more and more new moves each season to get a bigger movepool for all pokemon. Now all pokemons runs the same moves for years and its boring. After years of playing gbl i really hoped for i dont know a new mechanic, maybe third move or z moves? The new season looks the same. Boring.
Give Pelliper fly
