Kailido Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) This is quite annoying. Every gym leader has 1 or 2 pokemon that outspeeds pokemon it shouldn't be able to. This make power lvling a living nightmare, because i wanna power lvl 3 pokes at once. The problem is that quick claw doesn't just proc once or twice, it procs multiple times per battle. I can't just have EV trained lvl 100 gengar and ttar get 1hko'ed by rng. It makes farming a nightmare, it makes power leveling a nightmare. Offtopic: I was on 8th hoenn gym, i had to logout because of this, I no longer had pokemons that would win that match, purely out of rng. Now i can't select server, it won't let me, some weird warning pops up. Help? EDIT: Nvm, i can now. But its quite frustrating how this one issue generated another problem Edited November 23, 2017 by Kailido Link to comment
Tyrone Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Soothopolis gym leader uses a Drizzle politoed and swift swim pokemon. So that basically doubles their speed. Link to comment

Tyrone Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Depends on the speed. If your ttar is faster than politoed, Drizzle will activate after Sand Stream razimove 1 Link to comment

But its quite frustrating how this one issue generated another problem the gyms have items, not quick claw random item, but competitive items from what I noticed, scarf, band, specs etc. There can also be speed ties, keep that in mind. The login problems have nothing to do with gyms. There was a patch, which was probably why you couldn't. Link to comment

Only when it stops raining, there's a message again. This is obviously an annoying bug and would explain your frustration with the gym fight. Link to comment

Yeah it's dumb to have pokemon fainting without realising why EDIT: I still think there's pokes with quick claw. Staraptor in hoenn 2nd gym had no reason to attack first afaik. It does make sense a poke with claws to have that item, so im not too mad about it. It used close combat which doesn't have priority Edited November 23, 2017 by Kailido Link to comment

Raichuforyou Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Wait... why is it that gym leaders have these items before you the player can actually obtain them? Link to comment

If you've beaten elite four in Hoenn you can buy items such as choice specs, scarf and band in the Battle Frontier for Battle Points. You can obtain BP by either battling players (PvP) by queuing to a match and winning it through the PvP button (A Master Ball in the lower right part if your screen) or by fighting against the IA in the Battle Tower at the Battle Frontier.
