Nice to see Hydrapple make the top 75 but a little surprised to see Chandelure in the top 3 😳
New Yveltal & Xerneas??
I could be off my rocker with this thinking here since the whole point of Complete Zygarde is all the little cells coming together to make one giant being...but what if Yveltal and Xerneas got new Complete forms in Z-A?
What sparked this idea was the

This is always a point of contention amongst the community. No matter which side you're on there was a reason behind it. When asked directly about why, Junichi Masuda stated that Legendaries were already supposed to feel like a big special event and by

Raid Den Builds (a thread)
Not too long ago I had a commenter mention they were having trouble with raids and it felt unfair as they weren't a "competitive know-it-all". While I'm far from that myself this did spark the idea to showcase some builds I've tested and found helpful

📅 December 25, 2023 - January 7, 2023 (00:00 - 23:59 UTC)
Walking Wake and Iron Leaves have returned once more to our 5-Star raids! For anyone who just got their first copy of SV or missed out previously, now is your chance to capture them!
made this awhile back as well with locations for Patrat line, Monkey lines, and even the Furfrous which i believe you can trade for on GTS or if you have an international friend in GO!
We now know that the following 5 and 6 Star raids have increased odds of dropping multiple Herba Mystica! (not guaranteed just increased chance)

7-Star Flying Tera Blaziken Counters

📅 Jan 19th-21st (00:00-23:59) UTC
Featured are 5 counter builds to conquer the Unrivaled foe Blaziken! While these are meant to be used in Co-Op, I have a feeling Miraidon will have the best odds to Solo.

were announced at EUIC along with this years themed logo! After seeing it though, it sent me down the rabbit hole to see all the logos from years past. Personally, I still think this year's logo is one of the best they've

Technology is so cool 🙂↕️
Kinda feels like it gets taken for granted the fact we can take a Pokemon caught on VC send it thru Transporter, Bank, up into Home, & evolve into its later introduced evolution all while it says “Seems to have first been met in the Johto Region” 😯
7-Star Iron Bundle Counters
Ice Tera Iron Bundle will be taking over the 7-Star Raids this coming weekend so here are a few Pokémon that can counter it! These are not the only useable ones, Gholdengo has its place here. I wanted to build some "out there" choices! I put each of
April 8, 2024: Reminder!

Moves Still Exclusive to 3DS Games
Pokémon HOME not only tracks what Pokémon you've caught; It also tracks what moves you have registered! If you open it in the mobile app, select Pokédex, and slide over to 'Other' you can see every Move and every Ability you've stored in HOME.
Raid Den Builds (cont.)
Heals and Boosts
These builds are more centered around being supportive to other players, so I'd only recommend running these in coordinated. Or if you're feeling lucky (crazy) you can try to let the random raiders carry you 😳
@CAGEtheGEGEG
It was a lack in judgement to not have it on here, tho to be fair in the comments I posted a graphic I did awhile back (and posted here) with it on there and where all the haircuts are from throughout the world in GO. Furfrou kinda is/kinda isn’t stuck 🤷🏼♂️
Raid Den Builds (cont.)
Out of the Lousy Trio, I only found the Brainiac Baboon to be useful for raiding. It needs no set up whatsoever. x3 Acid Spray, one of which is bound to Toxic poison the target thanks to its ability, terastilize, and take advantage of the status aliment!

@Light_88_
I want to have options so I’d have to go with the Let’s Go version. You should be able to use Staraptor to soar through the skies, use Milotic as a water transport, etc.
While using a legendary for those tasks has been a nice change of pace, it’s grown stale. Pokemon were first
