To answer the QOTD, I hate the new avatar changes. There was nothing wrong with what they had initially and I liked my old avatar. The new avatar looks like a low quality mesh. Niantic, if you really care about the Pokemon Go product and want it to continue succeeding, take some constructive feedback from the user input to fix what is actually wrong instead of catering to the .001% of the world population (Yes, that's exactly why they did this).
I just tried it. 7 Magical Leaf shots is enough to charge 2 Leaf Blades. This may be a game changer. Also, I caught 1-15-15 right before the event ended (around 4:59pm) 😊😊
Got a hundo vic so good climbed from 1900 ELO to 2562 ELO With Carbink-Moonblast-Rockslide Annialhape-ShadowBall-IcePunch Victreebell-LeafBlade-SludgeBomb
if anybody wants to run Victreebel in UL I did some sims for you: Shadow Vic beats Feraligatr because you can 1 shot it with Leaf Blade after Magical Leaf damage, but loses to Empoleon (all matchups in 1s) because of the Steel Wing Pressure... as non Shadow you lose to Feraligatr bacuse it survives 1 move and will beat you down, but you beat Empoleon because you survive the Steel Wing pressure... so both versions are viable
That sounds like a breakpoint thing. If I had to guess you simmed the rank 1s. Victreebel gets lots of breakpoints that make its optimal IVs very tricky.
The update is funny tbh the avatars I've seen either exclusively where masks or sunglasses and the avatars look like giant babies which I think is funny
Only if it were an extra would you want magical leaf, just because it's a CD move doesn't mean it's better (ancient power mamoswine), and razor leaf is a good bit better for Victreebell's purpose.
My avatar just doesn't look like me any more. I don't know why they made the faces so rounded. I'm the most woke, lefty, diversity lover you could ever know, but I just don't see how the changes promote diversity. Just make a proper character creator. If Sims could do it 25 years ago then surely niantic can manage it now.
Finally evolved and powered up this toxic dude for GL. Now need just about a year to power up Basti and finally try that toxic team... (but maybe something else will be toxic till then). I think I like that now it can reach charged moves faster.
The new avatar system is a mess because they removed binary genders. So the base model is like an androgynous mannequin to which you can stick boobs, fat or muscles and results are obviously grotesque. But hey, they score points with the lgbtq2xyz+ crowd, just like the Niantic community manager probably hoped.
@funwithgames4608 they could have easily left the previous system, adding an extra non-binary option and improving the overall customization to make everybody happy. But noo, referring to sexual dimorfism is too offensive and sexist nowdays... still a L.
@@funwithgames4608So a change nobody asked for that nobody likes over some simple QOL changes to make the game more playable is a W for Niantic. Yeahhhhhhh...no.
@@SaberSevenGFX Well Non-Binary people who play Pokémon Go did needed the change. You may not be wanting it but that doesn't mean nobody wants it. You sound so childish to be honest
i liked the update. the old female model had a pretty gross face (don't look too long at the lips) so everything since is a glow up. plus more hair styles, androgynous options.
Avatar update is a failure, but it isnt as bad as we all make it out to be Some people in my friendlist managed to make something nice, just hope they'll keep updating this with actual improvements (copium is real)
The avatar update is just straight up horrible. Just looks so bad tbh :(
The should reverse the changes related to avatar. I hate my avatar looks so bad right now.
The default ones is so childish and we can't make that face mature any more it looks so funny😅😅
I was excited to look and it was still so limited with only the original styles looking good 😂
The faces look like Caucasian children
I was completely unaware of the update and then saw my avatar and thought something was wrong with the game 😂

which team you use
I got a shundo, and a shiny 1-15-15 and I still have 2 hours to go to try and get a shiny UL #1.
Got a hundo vic so good climbed from 1900 ELO to 2562 ELO With Carbink-Moonblast-Rockslide

@@omarholder9036 that was a set base on PvPoke

I’ve been running leaf tornado on it for the debuff ands it’s amazing
Curious what elo this is, because no one is running scrafty near legend and there are 100x more skarm
These aren’t representative of competitive battles…the Umbreon was running Feint Attack. Lol
never disappoints 🙏
Can I change dewgong to shadow alonan sandslash?
The new avatars look like sleep paralysis demons
What is this stream you mentioned that all these creators were in?
Look at 20Butters channel
I finally got a shadow Vic at 6/14/15! Is it worth teaching it magical leaf, or is razor leaf still the most optimal fast move?
Razor leaf 4 sure
put them both in the sims on pvpoke and see what changes.
@@xbloxx7746 I had a feeling that was the case. Then I'll just make a regular Vic with magical leaf :)
Only if it were an extra would you want magical leaf, just because it's a CD move doesn't mean it's better (ancient power mamoswine), and razor leaf is a good bit better for Victreebell's purpose.
@@benjaminrichmond4227 that's a good point. Megahorn Clodsire is also another awful CD move.
Sludge bomb secret is out. Been running it on my toxic shadow Vic for a while & getting soooo many boooms 😊
Gonna run Trev - Venu - Vic. Die to fire, but gonna destroy Lanturn and mud bois.
And iv's r??
They didn't send them in

Nothing inorganic promotes diversity. True diversity can only be achieved when it’s completely taken out of consideration.

@@funwithgames4608 Yeah sure, that's definitely a W lmao

I feel like its gonna be too good now😭 hopefully im proven wrong
Probably not too good, it ranks lower than Venusaur but who knows, might play better in practice

My avatar looks gay and feminine now wtf
The avatars look awful, especially the faces. None of the clothing seems to fit the models well anymore too
First
Dude its raining as hell in europe...🥲 Is it worth playing in a car?
