Wait, even Kingdra?I powerwalked my way to a 30 minute Dragonite. Can confirm pre-Gen III dragons get DM.
Well, that, I was sure about it and confirmed with my old hatched dragon I've kept for pretty long. At least it was good.Eh... meant Dragonite. The one I evolved was caught just after Johto rollout iirc, so it's not locked to Dratinis caught during the event.
Actually, now when I see my Ice team again, I remembered about this post and remember now the thing that was off from this.I would say you only ever really need 12 of a Pokémon, especially with a limited Move pool (really Aqua Tail as a defender vs Hydro Pump for offense). This way you can try and deposit a few in Gyms during rainy weather while still having primary Offense teams.
I agree that Tangrowth will be better, but probably require more candy, and I almost never run into Tangela to collect candies. Mamoswine is better but it’s Ground Typing really increases it Weakness to what it should be countering : Grass types, and Dragon types like Salamence will Hydro Pump it to oblivion. Latios can Solar Beam it, etc.
Abomasnow will be a decent Zekrom Counter as well, and unlike other Grass types, it’s Ice Typing grants it a neutrality to Ice, so Kyogre and Lapras cannot just spam Ice moves.Actually, now when I see my Ice team again, I remembered about this post and remember now the thing that was off from this.
I thought Grass isn't best countered by Ice. Only Articuno can, but Fire already has innate resistance to Grass while Ice don't. Meanwhile, there'll be tons of mighty Dragons (I mean, most Pseudolegends are dragons), and also probably Rock attacks held off by Ground type too, like Rayquaza right now. It's still very far, but Manmoswine would be one of best counter against Zekrom, so it'll still be standing as king of Ices, only not to be used against grasses (past Ices being mostly part Water shouldn't anyway).
So nah, Manmoswine is better than Glaceon. I would use Flareon over it for Grasses anyway. Not that I can remember any notable Grasses types either in raids or defenses (I could only think of Virizion, which you shouldn't bring Ices against anyway, or Skymin where this would hold true).
... also, those mini dragons are easy to catch. I had 2 escaped from around 250-300 catches due to me underestimating it, but I still managed to catch most without using berries other than Pinaps.
They should have done Meteor Mash for Metagross, now that would be a catch! Compete with Jirachi.^ Yea expanding on this:
The next Community Day is on March 25. As the image above states, it will feature Bulbasaur with a 3x catch XP bonus and 3 hour lures. We still don't know the exclusive move for this, but I imagine they'll code Frenzy Plant in for Venusaur (or just give Bulbasaur Solar Beam). Expected to get the shiny version of this little thing as well.
This is not terribly exciting and I hope there's something else as many players don't seem to be encouraged to go out of their way for this Community Event - too early to tell but this isn't Dratini lol
