Kyu is just a troll

E4 and events are reasons to level to 100. Also gym runs.

I understand, but i feel like that would be the only way to truly test something thats not obviously broken while maintaining the we dont want broken things to be implemented thing. I, of course, like the direction you guys are going with this btw. There is no point in implementing stuff that would disallow a mon from being used in comp imo. Maybe for the story line but from what i understand the devs want to make a lot of the storyline quasi-comp anyway.

If you ever decided to change it to where hydra had draco and it turns out to be a huge mistake... would you delete draco from all of the comps that were made in the time it was allowed?

I agree. I just found out this was not the case like a few weeks ago. Just think of the countless shines i breed away bc i didnt bother looking to see if it was shiny or not.

Self-explanatory title. A box that shows all of your outgoing mail. It would be useful for things like the PSL. You can send your opponent a message without having to get their forum name and then screen the message later.

Youve got to give more information. I have suspected that the E4/gym mons are boosted in some way as well but you need to post your EVs, IVS, NAture of the pokemon along with the level. And the level of the opposing mon and how you know it doesnt have scarf. But it seems if you are running a level 100 base 145 speed mon vs a base 100 speed lvl 68 mon you should outspeed, unless the base 100 mon is +speed and with scarf and you are -speed. If we dont know these things then we have no way of knowing for sure if what you are saying is abnormal.

this is why they dont give etas

This can be solved by only applying this suggestion to rematches. So that new and storyline people arent effected. If it were up to me i would put the gyms and e4 in tournament mode while allowing exp gain for any pokemon that has an exp share.

no

That's arguable, but is the supposed added challenge these items present for new players worth the added headache it adds to players who are using these things to grind? You can also have the best of both worlds by taking these items away from the E4 n such after a certain amount of times beating them.

These things add nothing to the experience of rematching these npcs. They do nothing but make us use up 4 or more extra pp using the same move over and over again. It adds nothing to the challenge it just adds annoyance to the grind.

Like the title says. What team do you rematch the e4? Do you have a 100% success rate or no? I'm interested to see if people use generally the same stuff like back when starmie or alakazam ruled the e4 or are there a variety of things being used.
