Over the past few months I've basically stopped doing PvP. Mostly because of lack of interest, but also because I've been working on another project: Pokémon Unity, a Pokémon fangame created by me. If you've got the time, I'd appreciate a play.🙂.

Despite the largest moveset update ever, the GBL leaderboards have been trending downwards, ending at the lowest ever since adding legend. S18: Max 3733 Min 3342.S19: Max 3672 Min 3324.S20: Max 3622 Min 3275. Did a lot of players leave last season, or is GBL no longer growing?.

Question: What drives you to keep playing PvP? Is it new cups, new Pokémon, going to regionals? For me, there hasn't been anything interesting recently. Everything is similar and boring, including the last move update, and PvP just doesn't feel fun anymore. What needs to change?.

Ever wondered who is the best? I've never really seen anyone talk about it, but I might have an answer. Hope you enjoy. :).

I've always enjoyed Pokémon GO pvp, but something about it didn't seem right. So here's a video I made about my thoughts. Hope you enjoy. :).

Worlds run cut a bit short. Tried to make a runback with a v2 of my last worlds team but couldn't quite do it. I'm still glad I went though, worlds is a great experience. Good luck to everyone else competing!

Legend in less than 300 battles! Regi has been mvp for sure.

Won one last cup to qualify for worlds! 547/500. Had some fun with Shadow Sneasler. (I only used it once 😅)

Starting soon!.

Bringing back the stream?. Doing a Vancouver recap stream with 3rd place finisher @allijahmotika tomorrow (4/1) at 6:30 pm PDT!. Come follow -> Going over our teams, stream games, and making some predictions for EUIC.

Third times. not the charm. Feels bad going 3x 1-3 in grand finals, but I'll still take another second place. I'm also now at 497/500 for worlds. Not quite there, but I'll get there soon enough. Congrats to @LyleJeffsIII on the win!

I know it's early in the season, but this Shadow Feraligatr thing is broken. 41-9 so far.

Feels like a smaller update, but still some big changes. Lots of Master Premier buffs so hopefully its not a tiny meta anymore. Also don't sleep on Furfrou. maybe. (predictions).Metal Sound -> Thunder Shock.Psywave -> Lick.Sand Attack -> Fury Cutter.Water Pulse -> 50 energy

I also think changing the GBL battle cap would be beneficial. Having a higher number of battles would make it easier for new players and those who aren't involved in the community. An easy way to do this is having the first 5 sets have any rewards, then the rest are to rank up.

Reality check: Pokémon Go Pvp is stale. The gameplay hasn't changed since launch. Many other games (Pokémon included) introduce new mechanics to keep it interesting. I would love to see new things, especially since P!P exists, because it will be tough for pvp to grow without it.

Hold up wait a second

Lost to someone running this team, so I decided to try it out. Ended up being quite fun, Whimsicott has been quite good. (I also may or may not have been stuck in the 2900s for a week)

Top 12 at Portland. Cut a bit short, but I'm still happy to technically get to day 2. Also could have spent a bit more time building a slightly more balanced team 😅.

Been having some fun in retro cup. Nobody respects Aurorus with all those triple dragons. also Poli is sort of a Lanturn counter.

Quick look at the move update. (assuming +1 energy mud slap/steel wing, +3 energy iron tail, 66% debuff breaking swipe, and 50% debuff scald).Probably forgot something, but looking forward to these changes!
