Pokémon GO - I caught an Azelf using an incense at home this morning

I got into a match with someone named Hattegger and the game lagged and it resulted in my Pokémon not dying to his special attack and allowing me to kill him. Does anyone know who this person is so I could friend him and then we could fight a fair match?

Welcome to Great League PvP: (part 8) Teams (Fighter, Charmer, and Water leads)

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 06:57 AM PDT

Part 7 here

Welcome to the final part of this series. Today we're featuring Fighters, Charmers, and Waters.

Fighter (Counter user) as lead

Deoxys (Defense) is also a great lead candidate. As a Psychic-type Pokémon with Counter, a Fighting-type move, the damage adds up overtime and can put a lot of pressure onto the opponent, even on a Dark-type Pokémon that is supposed to counter Deoxys. Do not think you can outsmart anyone and use Deoxys (Attack) as a lead, it performs terribly here. Rip if you accidentally choose it, though.

Medicham resists Counter. The only Pokémon that reliably counter it are Fairies. While Toxicroak is double weak to Psychic, having the Poison typing helps it beat other Fighters (including Medicham without Psychic).

Vigoroth has Body Spam and doesn't lose hard against anything other than other Counter users and Ghosts. Body Spam with STAB is not a joke at all.

Deoxys (Defense) + Azumarill + Altaria

Potential counters: Azumarill, Haunter, Skarmory

Great against: Bronzong, Hitmontop, Medicham, Scrafty, Toxicroak, Vigoroth, Quagsire

Notice why Scrafty and Vigoroth are often listed as being countered? They are unable to reach full potential without energy lead. They can easily flip some matchups with energy, so be aware of that (even though they are listed in 'great against', you rarely win by a large margin)

Parting words done. Have you noticed? Almost every team with Altaria counters a wide variety of Pokémon. Altaria's resistances definitely help. With Deoxys (Defense) and Azumarill, 2 tanks, as bodyguards, the team can net you wins pretty steady.

Deoxys (Defense) + Umbreon + Azumarill

Potential counters: Meganium, Tropius, Venusaur

Great against: Bronzong, Cresselia, Froslass, Jirachi, Magneton, Probopass, Skarmory

2 tanks are tanky, but 3 tanks? Even tankier…, plus they still have great moves to back up. The team definitely works better than on paper. They're so tanky that they're able to survive the 60-second switch clock. They counter Steel tanks.

There are two downsides, though. Azumarill can be easily countered with a Grass and a shield; the team doesn't win hard.

Note that Bronzong is also a Pokémon that performs the best with energy lead, so other than Umbreon, Altaria and Azumarill, others can't really safely switched in.

Deoxys (Defense) + Registeel + Azumarill

Kieng has featured this team, too. Azumarill is the safe switch to get off shields. Registeel can clean up the match when there are no shields left.

Medicham + Magneton + Altaria

Potential counters: Azumarill, Cresselia, Haunter, Sableye

Great against: Lanturn, Forretress

The team is great at dealing neutral damage. Magneton has spammy Discharges and Magnet Bomb, while Medicham and Altaria have heavy-hitting Fast moves.

If you encounter an Azumarill, just sacrifice Medicham and deal as much damage as possible (and hope the opponent doesn't have a Steel tank at the back). You may safe swap into Magneton if the opponent doesn't have a Fighter/Mudboi in his/her team.

Medicham + Haunter + Bastiodon

Potential counters: Hypno, Sableye, Swampert, Whiscash

Great against: Forretress, Magneton, Skarmory

Haunter is a great counter to both Marowak (Alola) and Azumarill, two of Medicham's hard counters. Even though Haunter is frail, Bastiodon is in the back to tank Charged moves while also being checks to them. Mudbois with energy lead ma dominate this team, if Medicham doesn't hit a Dynamic Punch.

Toxicroak + Umbreon + Skarmory

Potential counters: Mantine

Great against: Meganium, Muk (Alola), Victreebel

Skarmory will be your primary safe switch, mainly due to it being able to overcome some unfavorable matchups with energy. Even if the opponent switches Bastiodon in, Toxicroak can farm it down after Skarmory faints.

Charmers might be a problem after Skarmory faints, but they don't like getting hit by Toxicroak's Sludge Bomb, either.

Toxicroak + Hypno + Registeel

Potential counters: Mantine

Great against: Meganium, Muk (Alola), Victreebel

If you encounter a Water Pokemon in the lead, don't panic. Deal as much damage as possible with Toxicroak before fainting, often burning opponent's shields. If you face a Flyer instead, switch to Hypno to get Confusion damage in. Don't switch into Registeel as you will lose a hard counter (and Toxicroak also handles Fighters which Hypno beats).

Vigoroth + Azumarill + Noctowl

Potential counters: Deoxys (Defense), Raichu (Alola), Skarmory

Great against: Forretress, Haunter, Sableye, Steelix, Mudbois

Noctowl is there to wall Haunters at the back, trying to sweep through the team. Watch out for Sludge Bomb, though.

Fairy as lead

Wigglytuff + Linoone + Bronzong

Potential counters: Muk (Alola), Steel

Great against: Haunter, Togekiss

Linoone is your safe switch and counter against Azumarill. It is really good with some energy lead. Grass Knot + Thunder is usually preferred over Dig (despite performing better and Steels)

This is actually Speediest Chief2's team, you may check out the video here.

Wigglytuff + Deoxys (Defense) + Probopass

Potential counters: Forretress, Lanturn, Swampert

Great against: Raichu (Alola), Togekiss

Pretty average team. I don't know how to explain it well. Type matchup has it, though. Raichu can't take Charms well, apparently.

Clefable + Shiftry + Haunter

Potential counters: Wigglytuff, Poison, Steel

Great against: Azumarill, Froslass, Meganium, Mew, Raichu (Alola)

The team is pretty difficult to master. Every member requires a shield to unleash their full potential. The problem is that you only have 2 shields unless you get the 3rd shield bug, so knowing the timing is crucial. And they're basically toothless against Steel.

Gardevoir (Shadow) + Victreebel (Shadow) + Hypno (Shadow)

Potential counters: Marowak (Alola), Steel

Great against: Hitmontop, Lanturn, Raichu (Alola), Swampert, Vigoroth

Triple Shadow team, that's really cool. But is it useful after all? Surprisingly, yes. Except for losing hard to all Steels, the team hits hard and forces the opponent to shield.

I think everyone now knows how frail Swampert actually is, right? It can be charmed down by Gardevoir before reaching the second Hydro Cannon.

Mawile (Shadow) + Azumarill + Altaria

Potential counters: Azumarill, Cresselia, Mantine

Great against: Bronzong, Forretress, Muk (Alola), Umbreon

If you face a Water lead, switch Mawile out. You can't deal significant damage without consuming shields and Mawile simply isn't a Pokémon that baits shields fast in return. Thankfully, the rest of the team covers Mudbois well (but not Azumarill).

If not, then congrats, Mawile with at least a shield wrecks anything else with the corresponding Fast move. Ice Fang, Fire Fang and Bite are all useful depending on your team comp and your opponent's. Do not use Astonish, ever.

Mawile walls Umbreon, no fancy baiting necessary (though Play Rough would be nice, it actually loses in 2 shields going straight Play Rough).

Water as lead

Swampert and Whiscash are the most common Mudbois. Swampert is better against Skarmory, while Whiscash is better against Altaria. They both are fantastic Steel counters and countered extremely hard by Grass unless with energy lead (Blizzard onto Grass FTW).

Mantine has the potential to nerf opponent's attack stat, but it relies on shield baiting to win some matches.

Lapras and Dewgong are two of the few Water-type Altaria counters that can beat Grass (tanking one super effective Frenzy Plant).

Swampert + Azumarill + Altaria

Potential counters: Azumarill

Great against: Bronzong, Charizard, Forretress, Marowak (Alola), Muk (Alola), Scrafty

Sludge Wave Swampert is preferred here, mostly because how it covers against Azumarill. However, "cover" does not mean "beat", but does take Azumarill pretty low without baiting.

Remember one more thing, the only Grass counter on your team is Altaria. Do not let the flying dragon faint until you have taken out opponent's Grass.

Swampert + Meganium + Bastiodon

Potential counters: Quagsire, Vigoroth, Grass

Great against: Bronzong, Magneton, Raichu (Alola)

Hope your opponent does not have a Grass Pokémon. If he/she does, you lose. If he/she doesn't, you win. Meganium + Bastiodon is a such good pair.

Whiscash + Mantine + Skarmory

Potential counters: Hypno, Mantine

Great against: Jirachi, Sableye, Toxicroak

Mantine + Whiscash is great. Having air and ground support, the team isn't too weak to anything. Skarmory counters Grass better than Mantine, which is still usable with some energy lead and baiting.

Toxicroak can't do many things to this team. The fighting frog is just an ATM (it means you can farm up).

Whiscash + Skarmory + Umbreon

Potential counters: Hitmontop, Mantine, Umbreon

Great against: Froslass, Jirachi, Muk (Alola), Sableye

Skarmory can't beat Hitmontop in 1 shield scenario. Close Combat paired with Hitmontop's high attack simply is too much to handle, and apparently also too much for the other team members. On the other hand, Umbreon and Mantine are too tanky.

Muk (Alola) can't do too much to this team. Sableye and Jirachi can beat Skarmory with some energy lead.

Lapras + Altaria + Azumarill

Potential counters: Azumarill, Haunter

Great against: Altaria, Marowak (Alola), Muk (Alola), Quagsire

Old, classic Ice Shard Lapras is ready to sweep teams that rely on Altaria to win. After Lapras is down, Azumarill is in the back to help you out. Again, Altaria beats Grass. Poor Alolan Marowak has the same fate as Altaria against this team.

Be aware of opposing Azumarill if you aren't running Play Rough on your Azumarill, though.

Lapras + Medicham + Umbreon

Potential counters: Medicham, Toxicroak, Venusaur, Fairy

Great against: Muk (Alola), Skarmory, Swampert, Whiscash

Side note: Skarmory tends not to beat Fighters these days, and that (kind of) shows why Altaria is better as a Fighting counter.

Mudbois are going to have a hard time. Swampert needs to land Earthquake to win against Lapras. Umbreon outbulks it. Medicham simply does more damage with Counter.

However, a team with Umbreon that doesn't contain of a Steel or Poison is weak to Fairies in every single way. Fighters that Medicham can't beat also cause trouble.

Dewgong + Whiscash + Mantine

Potential counters: Hitmontop, Meganium

Great against: Altaria, Bronzong, Skarmory, Steelix, Togekiss, Toxicroak

Final team in this series, yay! This is the team that TheAsianMilkMan used to get to rank 10 (!!). A solid double debuff team (see above), plus Whiscash in the middle spamming Charged moves, your opponent will be frustrated over time. Timing out is the key to win. If you manage to keep all 3 Pokémon alive, you win.

However, using triple Water indicates that the team is weak to Grass. Or iS iT? I'm happy to inform you that this isn't the case.

You might want to check out Kieng's video on your own to get more information about how to use it correctly. However, Dewgong desperately NEEDS the legacy Ice Shard + Icy Wind to do that well.

Conclusion

This marks the end of this series (for now, until the next big meta shakeup). Stay safe, everyone! Cheers!

Gbl lag after update

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 06:25 AM PDT

For the most part my gbl hasn't been super negative but ever since the newest patch it's back to how it was in preseason. Literally every game I play I have huge lag spikes. This wasn't an issue until I updated to the new version. I've lost 100 rating because my opp gets to fast move me for 5 seconds while my guy stands there atleast once a set. Probably just done with this until it's actually fixed. So much for Pikachu libre. What a huge waste of dust

Bug: GBL match disconnected before match even started- counted as a match loss

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 09:33 AM PDT

Doesn't bother me that much because I wasn't planning on winning for or five matches anyway, but after using a premium pass and having it happen is a little irritating and could really bother someone else

Great League is ending- what was your best team?

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 07:49 AM PDT

Always gotta love the vast ocean of difference between players at 1750 vs 1850. Now that I'm back at that higher rank, I almost don't want it to end. Been cleaning up with this team.

Azumarill as a closer for the bulk and dual attacks with wide coverage. Skarmory to cover for the weakness to grass and just all around a lot of resistances. My lead? Jirachi. That little thing has absurdly wide coverage and powerful attacks. Hits anything well unless it resists psychic. Since it is has one of very few steel moves, it even covers its own weakness to fairy.

My big weakness is to electric, but outside of Deoxys that doesn't tend to be too powerful. Used to love Hypno as a lead, but it is more vulnerable to dark and fairy. Jirachi is a lot, man.

What has been your best team?

Solosis

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:34 AM PDT

Morning guys and girls. With the new psychic Pokémon event starting this morning I've managed to catch enough Solosis to evolve into all 3 forms. For anyone who has incense left the spawn rates for these seem to be boosted ☺️

Question About House Spawns

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 10:28 AM PDT

How does the game determine where to place house spawns? I have a friend that gets 3 spawns at his house and lives in the same area as me, while I get none and even none on the nearby. I'm basically just wondering if there is any way to increase the chances of pokemon spawning at my house, since now that I can't go out, I basically can't play the game.

One one else get a win in GBL because of “Time Expired”?

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 02:09 AM PDT

I just played a battle in GBL and the game stopped midway through battle with a message something along the lines of "time expired". During the entire match I was experiencing terrible lag. The timer to swap Pokémon after one of my Pokémon fainted even glitched and showed as much as 20 seconds on the timer. When time expired I wasn't sure if it would treat it as a tie and give us both a loss but was surprised to see that it gave me the win. I had two Pokémon left and he had one left. I wish I had the screenshots to prove it.

I felt bad because if there was enough time he most likely would've beat me because both my Pokémon had low health. I'm sorry to whoever that was, just no I wasn't hacking or cheating, GBL is just a broken mode that needs some work.

Edit: Super glad to get someone quick, thorough answers from fellow redditors.

Question for Jump Start Research

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 10:13 AM PDT

I recently got back into Pokémon go and I started doing the Jump Start Research and from one of the completions I encountered a Dratini.

This is the Dratini I encountered.

After looking it up apparently everyone gets a Dratini it's just part of the thing.

My question is does everyone get a good ivy Dratini?
