#HearUsNiantic
The reduction of spin distance during the middle of a pandemic and against the will of a huge percentage of the player base demands a response from Niantic. There are ways to resolve this issue that retains the exploration goals
Seriously
@PokemonGoApp
. Your plan is going to cause a usability nightmare in all the remote raiding apps. Positive reinforcement is the way to go here.

My father Greg Barker passed away today from brain cancer. He loved the outdoors, creating awesome outdoor areas for his customers to live in. He was an avid surfer and skier all his life. A loving husband, father and grandfather. We will miss him dearly.
Wife and I both have a 101 fever as of today. Due to the embarrassment of a response by the US government we can’t get tested. We’ve been self quarantined for a week and it wasn’t enough to prevent getting sick. Maybe it’s not covid19 but probably is.
Stay safe everyone.

When we tell you we need more stardust, we do not mean a 25 stardust increase on 1 out of 5 mons we catch. We are talking 250% more not 4%
If you want people to pvp or care about xl candy at all you are going to have to pump those numbers up!
As requested here are the Pokebattler website and app analytics. I will let you all discuss what it means. I’m too upset to put into words.
Watching the app you’ve been excited to build finally take off and then crash hard is devastating.

, Aeroblast is not enough for Lugia. You need to give a flying quick attack too. Gust would move Lugia to the top 10 for players needed and a very strong

for tankiness.
Make sure to retweet so Niantic doesn't disappoint us next week!
Happy to announce a partnership with
@captgoldfish
to bring his awesome infographics to a larger audience! Stay tuned for the full integration!

Mewtwo is the best counter for Terrakion and it does not matter wether you have Psychic or Psystrike! Regardless of which move you have or what IV it is, you can stop powering up when your stardust cost hits 5000 and successfully duo! Higher levels are safer of course!
😥 It looks like
@PokemonGoApp
has not balanced Psystrike properly. It is worse than the already poor move Psychic which Mewtwo already had! 😥
⌚ Share, retweet, petition so they know they need to fix this in the next few weeks! ⌚

@PokemonGoApp
The state of steel and poison attackers is abysmal.
Needing to rely on a single steel type Pokemon that needs a community day move to 20% more damage when you just had a big raid with a legendary Steel Pokemon is pretty bad.
Buff Iron Head and Flash Cannon!
I don't often post about life but today has been... I cant even. My father was diagnosed with a Type 4 brain tumor today, with surgery scheduled for Tuesday. He'll be on chemo during this virus. Los Angeles was locked down. I won't get to see my older son for who knows how long.
Apparently Niantic truly doesn’t want anyone to be able to do these raids. Way way too hard. Expect failure rates well above 50%
This screenshot will only occur for very experienced players and note the time left
Move over Shadow Machamp, There's a new bull in town.
Terrakion really benefits from Double Kick and finally makes a showing
Also props to mega Alakazam for making such a fine showing without the STAB bonus and a junk charge move

My wife and I got lucky friends yesterday so today we traded shinies. 30000 stardust later I think this might be the luckiest
#pokemongo
trade ever!
🥳 I finally got the Raikou I’ve always wanted and she got an awesome Kyogre! 🥳
Groudon and Kyogre are coming to raids from January 15th to January 29th. is updating with the latest counters for these new raids as we speak but for the impatient, here are the top counters for these new SHINIES!
Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of Pokebattler. I thought about sharing something with all of you but decided to spend it with my lovely wife. She is so supportive of me and puts in a lot of effort into our infographics and videos. Love her so much and baby on the way too!
Would people be interested in website traffic and app stats since the remote raid nerf? It’s definitely heavily biased since Niantic drained as much money from the whales with good raids as possible before dropping the nerf hammer but it’s interesting
Lickitung is a 4⭐️raid today from 2pm to 5pm local time!
👀Get your counters from the source 👀
🤯 Or you can soon use the app! If this tweet gets 200 likes or 50 retweets I will post the APK download for the Pokebattler Raid Party Beta in the pics! 🤯
If I invite you to a raid with estimator under 2.
And there are 3 people.
And you quit out with 3 seconds to go.
I will de-friend you immediately.
Why would you ever friend me if you won't do a layup like 3 man Kyurem?

Find yourself a fighting grunt and make sure to TM away that frustration.

The current Shadow Raids have bugs
⭐️Undodgable attack at enrage ignores cooldown
⭐️Heals at enrage
⭐️No partial damage reduction w gems
⭐️Unpredictable number of gems for purification
⭐️Attack queuing broken w gems
Please fix or clarify
Serious Bummer
Possibly the most fundamental issue with GBL is that this is not a good for pvp. How are players expected to learn this? Fundamentally the cp formula implies attack should be worth as much as stamina and defense combined but in pvp this is not true.
@PokemonGoApp
After my fathers memorial service we had a nice lunch down by the water. My father did some concrete work for the city there and I was happy to see it had turned into a pokestop! What a great way to remember my father.
Miss you dad
My fathers surgery went well. Main mass of the brain tumor removed. Now recovery followed by chemo and radiation. I don’t plan on posting any more about this on twitter but thanks for all the support
Your friendly reminder that as far as raids are concerned, Shadows are around 25% better than non-shadows and even 0-0-0 IV shadows are going to beat non-shadows.
I wonder how many Shadow Mewtwo I can get?
Events (graphs in first post) are down 75% April 5th vs April 28th on the app website down 20%
Users (graphs in this post) down 50% on app 26% on website
My Pokebattler motivation is at an all time low. Hopefully usage comes back when popular raids return.
We will see
Trainers - we’re looking forward to sharing our plans as a result of the task force on September 1, but one thing does not have to wait! From now on, 80 meters will be the base interaction radius for PokéStops and Gyms globally. (1/2)
Spent community day at the aquarium with my kid. I just got home. I’d like to go out and walk but the event is already over. 3 hours for a community ‘day’ is ridiculous
Pokebattler has been working hard on PvP rankings and while it is not quite ready on the site, here are the initial best defenders in PvP. Notice type coverage on moves is very important as is high cp.
At some point this month I passed 9 million lifetime unique users and 120M page views. Total of 194 years spent on the site. Should pass 10M by my 5th anniversary.
The site has come a long way. It’s been a blast, just wanted to thank you everyone who has supported me on the way
On Sept 12th, 2016 I unleashed Pokebattler onto the world and noone noticed. Decided to add Google analytics in April 2017 after I started getting a few hundred users a day.
📣Very proud to have just passed 2 million unique users helped. 📣
🎆Excited to see whats next!🎆
Unintended consequence number 2. This is intended to prevent any raid interation.
Its pretty clear in my mind this entire 5 raid cap is a direct attack on a particular remote raid app's use of bots to host raids. Every other cap in the game is also anti bot protection as well.
@PokemonGoApp
It would be awesome if you let
@pvpoke
,
@Pokebattler_com
and other developers know the new stats for the moves ASAP. We can provide feedback as to whether the changes will have the desired effect and have updates ready for when the news is announced.
More Coordination please!
Giratina - Origin Forme coming our way? All of these options can duo at level 40 with best friends. The numbers shown are for level 35 without friendship and are all a very easy trio.
We are proud to announce a partnership with

creators of the popular Japanese Remote Raid website
Now Japanese and English users can join Pokebattler Raid Party app raids directly within their website without downloading the app!
Trainers,
We want to give you a heads-up about changes coming to Pokémon GO’s Remote Raid Passes. These changes are designed to rebalance the game and ensure it’s enjoyed by Trainers for years to come.

, I would highly recommend buying me and preventing such embarassment in the future. Oh and I'll make you literally millions of dollars with better in game recommendations too.
Yours truly,
Can confirm someone at
@NianticLabs
loves me. This time a 98% for my wife and a Hundo for me! Just 4 days after our last lucky trade that resulted in 2 awesome 15 attack shiny Rayquaza!
Weatherball primeape is totally going to leave a lasting impression on the raid scene.
An impression that
@PokemonGoApp
can fix a PvP bug in minutes but they ignore long last PvE raid bugs even though PvE raid passes are what fund the game.
Found a wild Gible with my wife with bad ivs and decided to toss the dice on a trade. She’s definitely good luck for me! Now I just need a million candy
#Conkeldurr
is officially the best!
is updated with all the new Gen 5 Pokemon, check it out!
Conkeldurr and Archeops were both on my team in gen 5 and I'm glad that at least one of them is worth having!
Archeops needs Acrobatics and Wing Attack asap!
See that mural? To spin it you need to go underneath the tree. With the extended distance you could just barely do it from the sidewalk. The change is not safe.
Not every city is like San Fransisco.
This is a horrible change

a thing! It's really crazy that they nerf something we pay money for by 67% and give no reason or explanation for it.
We should accept nothing less than a revert AND compensation for all the lost rare candies.
Xerneas is here
@PokemonGoApp
!
Its looking to be an very tough duo. Best bet is for you and your best buddy friend to both have a maxed out Mega Gengar, one in slot 1 and the next in slot 4 plus 5x Metagross. Dodge specials (esp thunder) and get lucky!
Next week was supposed to be a ski trip to tahoe with my father, my sons and my wife. Now I'm locked down in my house. Can't see my older son. Can't see my dad. Thankfully i have my wife and toddler here but its incredibly upsetting.
This voting situation has the exact same problem that charge Tms have. Random chance is demoralizing and terrible. I’ve gone through 12 stops, no rhyhorn and now I just want to make sure I can complete my daily quests to get my 3000 star dust a week
My wife and I are lucky friends today and we both got rather lucky. Traded a Zekrom from GoFest. My wife got so lucky, I got total garbage. 🤣
Have you ever had this happen to you?
Giratina Origin now has new moves esp. Shadow Claw! Counters haven't changed much but look who shows up at
#12
now!
Giratina Origin will be the new
#1
attacker vs, Psychic types like Mewtwo so make sure to get those Legendary raids in!
is updated!
Initital PvP Rankings are out for
#pokemongo
#GOBattle
Lots more features coming soon but the rankings are matching up with the experience of heavy pvpers.
Just remember hyper beam is a risky choice, shielding is not yet considered!
Nihilego moves were added to the game master and as expected, counters shifted slightly. Excadrill moves up to the top slot and the rest of the ground pokemon do a minor shuffle.
Shadow Mewtwo, the best attacker in the game is just hanging out 'Who needs double super effective?'
#TeamRocket
may have the upper hand right now but is here to turn the tide! Make sure you prepare for these battles, they can be tough! Make sure to check the moveset too if you are struggling, you don't want to use Metagross vs. 👻Lick👻 Shadow Snorlax!
updated with newly available level 15 Ho-Oh and Lugia. Ho-Oh is not very good But Lugia makes the top 24 on the counters rankings. Pokebattler is hard at work with more PvP features, coming soon!
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
Sorry for the delay, had some bugs to work out. Beta site is up and Kingler is very good!
Almost identical DPS to Kyogre (in fact a bit better) but about 50% more faints.
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
🥳 I think someone at Niantic likes me. Very last raid of the night and my wife and I both got shinies. Did the lucky trade we had saved up and we both get 15 attack shiny lucky Rayquaza! 🥳
While every other game is giving Black Friday sales,
#NianticGrinch
is taking away our rare candies! Tier 5 raids should give more candy! We pay for these raids!
We need
@PokemonGoApp
to revert immediately before they kill the raid scene!
