I said ideally mar.

Charizard's flying typing is a major disadvantage.

Just like Mewtwo's shadow ball... alll the mat salleh say its m2's best moveset but memang useless irl.

haha yala understand what u mean but now life w/o tracker is damn hard even just to find raid lol

aiya all tokok only la but mew2 if i ever power i prefer it to be Psychic

I switched mine back to focus blast for gym general utility.

yeah ! shadow ball is totally overated

Mewtwo itself is not very useful.

Same with Rayquaza where everyone rates as bestest dragon. D9 still more useful for me... especially DB/DC.

i don't have any D9 with DB

Me too...don't have DB/DC D9

But just realised Latios can have DB/DC! Will it be as useful on a Latios??? Should I tm my just caught CP2074 15attack latios?

Reddit says Latios not useful but I think for the gym game, it should be ok since it takes less damage from zen headbutt.

DB/DC dps is not very high but the beauty is its so dodgeable.

LOL.... pump only lah....
Actually 10 mil like you said should be the next target after current squad pumped up.

True that... the comm day moveset really makes you wanna if ald evolve a good one.


Got mine ready too, luckily i saved 2 charmanders from before.

What i don't understand is they nerfed m2 stats, and on top of that gave it psychic.... at least futuresight or psystrike la hor....
I guess for now ideal will be a squad of 6 m2 maxed out... 2 with FB, 2 with SB and 2 with Psychic... when needed then can change the moveset. Personally, x see the use of psychic now besides machamp n gengar raids.
* hopefully get a good mewtwo next week 2264 / 2269 / 2270 / 2275....

I find m2 useful to take down gyms. If only i had few more with 15 atk iv, i would max at least 3 out.
With FB, i find its dps and survivability in normal gym battles is higher vs machamp say against a blissey / snorlax / chansey with ZH and/or DG.

Btw, did you power up Raikou / Entei / Groudon / Kyogre / Rayquaza?

No worries, just get use to DT / OR, its sluggish but a lot of ppl get the hang of it.
I also don't have a good DB /DC D9... its ok.

I've maxed Raikou, Groudon, Kyorge, Rayquaza (one each). Entei almost full due rare candies drops being nerfed ... at least for me la. Past couple of raids I get nothing.

Mewtwo I only maxed 1 as well .. the idea of building a squad did cross my mind but I think better just upgrade storage and hoard rare candies. Mana tau what Niantic's gonna do.

Yeah, survivability is higher vs Machamp but slower. If attacking with a group or low on potions, M2 more useful but if solo sneak attack... Machamp still faster.

hi lvl25 casual player here who left the game since 2016.
Now come back to have some fun with my kids but feel like the meta and pokemon species change a lot.
play style is normal day catch some pokemon only weekend would participate 1-2 raid or gym battle.

i try to sync my outdated info with current latest game meta and database, unfortunately there are too much for me to learn...
make me blur blur when looking at them. not sure the info i get are still valid or not...
looking for a lot of guide from sifu here to help me back and enjoy the game.

How should i deal with my current old top Gen 1 pokemon? i have (some has use TM);
lvl27 Machamp IV100 Counter, DP
lvl28 Machamp IV89 BP, DP
lvl27 Gyarados IV93 WF,HP
lvl25 Exeggutor IV91 Confusion, Psychic
lvl25 Flareon IV100 Ember, FB
lvl19 Vaporeon IV87 WG, HP
lvl21 Lapras IV80 FB, Blizzard
lvl20 Arcanine IV91 FF, Flamethrower
lvl21 Rhydon IV82 MS,SE
lvl15 Gengar IV96 Hex, FB

1st should i power up Vaporeon as water attacker? i do not have mighty kyogre

2nd Flareon 100 & Arcanine 91, which should i focus train as fire attacker?

3rd Exeggutor with legacy MS, should i use TM to get solar beam? i do not have decent grass type attacker (only have 1 Venusaur CP1515 bad IV VW, Solar Beam)

4th shoud i continue power up Rhydon with only IV82...

5th what do you think about Lapras and Gengar?

thansk in advance for all the advise

Beside Gen 1 i mention, next move on to new pokemon i obtain for the past two weeks after return back.

lvl20 Latios IV78 DB, Psychic
lvl20 Latias IV80 DB, Thunder
lvl15 Zapdos IV84 CB, ZC (catch from research quest)
lvl20 Beldum IV87 (walk as buddy would evo to metagross)
lvl20 Larvitar IV82 (obtain from egg)

1st, should i use TM for Latios/Latias in order to get Dragon moveset use as Dragon attacker? ( i dunt have D9.... even 1.... )

2nd, should i power up Zapdos with RC as electric type attacker?

3rd, metagross or tyranitar, which should i focus to get 1st?


as you all know my current lvl is low and without impressive strong monster which hardly for me to participate or have fun with most of the raid or battle... i need to build a "ok ok" army team 1st to open the door for me to access getting those great legendary.

else i would only see people catching big raid boss or wait luck to come for me....

kindly help ya.

Wah so lucky! Got the shiny turkey! I only did one turkey raid and no shiny although caught with first ball. Got 3 useless shiny on main and zero on alternate account.

Got that on 2nd turkey raid.

Most syukur is actually the 98% charmander cos today definitely caught over 100 charmanders but only 3 were >82%.

I have two 100% charmanders that I was saving but I got a 91% charmander today. Low cp though. Anyway my shiny charmanders still rubbish.
