The plan now is to just use the existing 5x D9, 1 mixed attacker and 2x Blissey (which I will continue to power up) instead.
Reason being:
1) Dunno how the gym revamp will turn out.
2) Dragon and Physic moves which works great against almost everything now, will be not very effective in the new meta in Gen 3 (which should happen within the year). So I'm gonna need as much stardust as possible.
To be competitive, my key attackers and defenders have to be maxed or close to max (cos everyone would do the same here). My current fire types and fighting types are very weak.
That means 160K dust per pokemon from level 25 to level 38
Bare minimum I need 3x strong general attacker in the beginning
= 3x 160K = 480K dust
Currently I'm only getting ~10K dust a day... so it'll take 1 1/2 months to reach this bare minimum.
Thanks! Point noted. Will you pump a good Tyra once u have it?
Fire and fighting types are just not tanky... nothing we can do about it.
Well, i've recently tried to catch more raticates, pidgeotto, pidgeot, kakuna, or evolved forms that i used to ignore. Back to the same old... stardust grind is CRAZY!!!!!!
For me, i dont really have a good atk squad tbh... any of the high cp that i have goes to the gym. My "so-called" atk squad ranges from 1.5k - 2.5k with the exception of some D9's around 2.7k.

Like
sniper on the roof once said, I am more of a collector than a battler

Furthermore, I most of the time play solo so I can only fight gym if I see those not too high lvl & I have spare time for it. If see Blissey at most bottom, I will avoid at all cost

Start catching whatever sampah appearing on screen like what I am doing now....hahaha
Lol... you will need to battle soon. PvP introduced you don't wanna miss out.

If you want more potion and revive efficiency but slower, use lapras to kill D9. A CP2000 (~lev27) lapras with both ice movesets can kill 2x D9 with CP3400.
I'll use machamp with C+DP for 3.1 k blissey. I seldom use D9 for blissey. This is personal preference.
Yeah, same here... also prefer to use ice types.
Unfortunately, i can't achieve that level of efficiency coz most of time i end up prestiging gyms... so i'll bring 6 Lapras of 1.2k-1.5k for 3.1k and above D9s.
