I was standing under the sun in the friggin carpark, obviously holding a phone & a power bank. Still kena chased off by the security. The security was very polite la, upfront asked if we're playing Pokemon. I said yes & he explained that he has to ask me to leave.

Probably some ill mannered players simply walk all over the hotel & the golf course. That triggered some golfers to report to the security & security is forced to take action. Because the Charmanders do spawn in the golf course itself & inside the hotel. There's 2 gyms there & several PokeStops.

For those who desperately need charmanders, my advice is to sit inside your car & come out only when the Charmander spawn nearby i.e. the hotel entrance & the golf club entrance. Then hide back inside your car until the next spawn. Use mesh or sensor, whichever floats your boat to determine its exact location. Or just dine in one of their restaurant & use it as a camp base.

Try using Slowbro with Ice Beam, Slowbro resist Steel damage while its Ice Beam does effective damage on Dragonite. Or Gyarados with Dragon Pulse, same as well it'll resist Steel while dealing effective damage on Dragonite.

If the Dragonite has Dragon Breath, use Clefable with Moonblast instead.

Niantic added a new security system to their server de

There are still spoofers. Yesterday midnight I was battling gym. Noticed there's another player attacking it with me. But I'm the only one there in pitch darkness in the middle of no where.

Ice attacks does half damage to Water Pokemons
Rock attacks does double damage to Ice Pokemon

Omastar (pretty sure not Omanyte), is a Water & Rock Pokemon. Plus it may learn Rock moves.

In a nut shell; your Omaster deals double damage to Lapras while taking half damage only.

Exeggutor is also a Grass type, which is weak to Ice moves.

Jolteon's Electrice moves are super effective against Lapras cause Lapras is a Water Pokemon. But Jolteon doesn't have resistance like Omastar has, so it'll KO faster.

Yea, tell me about it lol. Tragically Jolteon is the best electric Pokemon at the moment & it can barely even reach CP2k. The others are naturally weak eg Electrode, Magneton etc.

Electric Pokemon's main strength lies in their Speed. A stat that was omitted in Pokemon Go. So here they're basically Pokemon with lousy Attack & Def, and no strong points at all.

Really can't wait for Gen 2 to be released next year. Amphros is my only hope for an above average electric Pokemon. I really wanna zap the daylight out of Lapras & Vaporeon.

Exeggutor, but Poliwrath CP couldn't be that high probably around CP2.2k at level 30. Just be patience, once you reach higher level, Poliwrath won't be a problem. Probably even a Jolteon can take it down.

Excluding the legendaries, these are the top 6 highest CP as of now;

1) Dragonite
2) Snorlax
3) Arcanine
4) Lapras
5) Exeggutor
6) Vaporeon

I included the 6th because Vaporeon is relatively easy to get while Snorlax is difficult to get & Lapras is extremely difficult to get.

Ideally those are the ones worth continuously powering up, especially those with defensive move set and IV 80% & beyond. So that you can sit comfortably in a gym for a longer time.

For my attacker team, I generally leave it hovering between CP2k to 2.3k only. No need to overkill, plus it makes leveling up gym easier. Saving my stardust for defender team only.

At this rate, whereby Dragonites plague all the gyms, we only need Clefable & Slowbro in the attacker team. My CP2k Slowbro can take down a CP2.6k Dragonite pretty well.

Ideally would be a Slowbro with Confusion & Ice Beam la.

But I'm still very comfortable with my Water Gun & Ice Beam move set, because Water Gun has a very fast cooldown. So it's easier to dodge Dragonite's charged move with Water Gun even though Dragonite resist Water attacks. On the other hand, Dragonite takes extra damage from Ice attacks.

Clefable just need to learn Moonblast, that's all it needs. Mine decided to learn Dazzling Gleam & another one learned Psychic instead.....damn.

Clefable is good vs Dragon Breath Dragonite while Slowbro is good vs Steel Wing Dragonite.

Wigglytuff should do the trick too, but Wigglytuff doesn't do as much damage as Clefable. It's lesser damage is compensated with higher HP though. Another problem is Wigglytuff won't learn Moonblast, the best it can learn is Play Rough only.

I like more damage rather than prolonged battles. So I'd take Clefable anytime over Wigglytuff

You are a pro dodger ler haha.

In terms of tier (max CP);

1) Slowbro (2.5k)
2) Clefable (2.3k)
3) Golduck (2.3k)
4) Wigglytuff (2.1k)
5) Dewgong 2.1k)
6) Cloyster (2k)
7) Seadra (1.7k)

Can get a mixture of the top 4 is good enough already ler. Relatively easy to get but sadly only the bottom 3 can learn Blizzard.

Slowbro with Ice Beam or Clefable with Moonblast, depending on what type of Dragonite (Steel Wing or Dragon Breath) is it. That's the most practical counter as Lapras is just too rare.

You're supposed to dodge the charged moves. But it's fine, 3x CP2k Slowbro can take down 2x CP3.5k Dragonite.....damn worth it.

Yea when lag, the Move name will appear after it attacked. So best is to watch out for the yellow flash or at least recognize the animation. But animation also sometimes lag one, most reliable is the yellow flash.

More real pigs to come in the future generation pokemons.

Water Pulse & Aqua Tail is defender build. Hydro Pump is attacker build. So it's not a totally lost cause.

My area; Shah Alam (sometimes explore up to Glenmarie) is heavily defended by Valors. The main high traffic areas are conquered by Instinct spoofers. But towards the lesser traffic area like the houses, the gyms are conquered & well taken care by Valors. It's been days already & some gyms been under Valor's rule for many weeks. High quality level 10 gyms, with minimum CP2.5k defender. No chance for me to park any defender in at all. Even if I managed to park my defender, it'll be sitting among the bottom 3, which will last for roughly 24 hours only.

How many gyms in Putra Heights? Those gyms are mainly level 10?

I observed from Summit USJ all the way to Main Place, the gyms are hogged by a group of Mystic spoofers. I took 30 minutes to burn down their level 10 gym, then they start bubble strat it back up within half hour after I burned it down.

Lol have to manually spoof 😆
Yea a lot of noob cheaters just button mash to fight.

There's 2 types of Snorlax; Lick & Zen Headbutt type. For Lick type, use another Snorlax against it while for Zen Headbutt, use an Exeggutor against it. They don't do effective damage vs Snorlax but the enemy Snorlax will do pathetic damage on your attacker.

You usually take down in group or solo? Cause I took down level 10 gyms in pair. It's slightly more effective & less wasteful that way.

If I'm planning a raid in Subang area, I'll get in touch with you. During raid, I usually aim for 10 gyms.

Truce lol.....love to say yes but practically impossible.

Isn't it good? No matter where you go, can burn down the gyms. No need to worry if it's already level 10 & no space to park my defender in.

If you really wanna join an Instinct strong area, try Shah Alam central area.....lotsa yellow towers standing for days.
