So we can get Legendaries as battle rewards now?

yes. but it's a rare spawn not sure if it's permanent.
that explains how i managed to get 2 wins and not get thundurus.

rufflet will be added into the tier 7 rewards (1st is guaranteed) when season 1 begins.
edit: looks like i can't use altaria (lag is bad), venusaur does very well.

Yessir.

---

I'm so glad great and ultra are back, I did like one set in Masters

---

I did a great set today and it was fun, I miss using more non-meta stuff. I got so tired of Dialga/Togekiss/Kyogre/Giratina/Melmetal.

---

scratch that idea. i'll have a week to figure something out for the 3rd pokemon.
venusaur does crap if i don't have vine whip (the lag isn't proc. vine whip well).

looking through the choices:
it's probably going to be toxicroak or azumarill (need to test either of them) stardust needs to be saved of course.

counter 0.80
bubble 1.30

both well above the thresholds to prevent lagging out.
edit: i'll pick azumarill with ice beam and hydro pump (surprise attack). i can always go toe to toe with registeel with umbreon sometimes
---

^ in my experience (based on what I have faced, I have used neither myself), do azumarill. Croagunk is too fraile, even without the 4x weakness to psychic.

Motherfuck, Rufflet better not be exclusive to Go Battle League. Braviary is my favorite Pokemon and I've been dying to get my hands on one.

they happened to be in the pokemon lets go event in the US. but it's rank 7 reward. easiest way is to use premium battle pass get 2 wins it's a guarantee.

testing on possible theory of changing the framerate (noticing the lag go away if i set it to normal) though my charge attacks suffer a bit (won't know until i finish a set of battles within great league).

Good to know.

---

I got 4 wins in the basic league.



Normally I would be ecstatic but I feel slightly robbed.

---

I got 3/5 on premium, I lost one due to being legitimately outplayed with hard counters to mine, but the other match I lost was purely due to lag on the opponent's end. I had them right until the very end when my fast moves no longer registered and they were able to finish me off. All the other matches in my set had zero lag. Losing the TMs because of lag pisses me off.

Whoa whoa whoa, what Let's Go event? Or do you mean the Safari Zone thing in Philadelphia in May?

---

my mistake. i get them confused. it's that safari zone thing in philly during the month of may.
also looking through it.... and it's not a guarantee to see rufflet 1st time. it's in that pool.
---

2 battle leagues ever since mewtwo got focus blast:

3-2 would've went 4-1 if i didn't have to answer the fucking door.
3-2 again

mvp moment: watching the metagross take an unshielded focus blast it destroyed him.
