>>32292321Trapinch and Vibrava are good because they're abilities are fucking awesome. There are plenty of normal pokemon that get used a lot because of useful abilities and what not, you'll run into about a thousand Shuppets despite it having the weakest attack wheel in the game.
You can level up your bros a bit, but everyone you face will be just as leveled. So once you get to the higher ranks, a shit bro will always be shit (rip drapion).
There are plenty of viable Pokemon though, especially if you like legendaries.
>ftp friendlyI haven't spent a penny and I broke top 10 worldwide monthly for a bit, and it's super rare I see an obvious "payed team", and "payed teams" only have a really situational advantage. The f2p currency is so overpriced it's not worth it anyway.
>How do pulls work?You get gems which can buy boosters (which have whatever figures are being promoted), if you play daily you'll have a constant flow of figures from timed boosters (which can have like any figures), and after you spend a shit ton of gems you can eventually buy specific pokemon you want (so if you can't ever pull that one figure you need to make your team perfect, you can eventually just straight up buy it)
