>>54538020I mostly cope by using weird tech in GBL cups and having the luxury of a few of my favorite Pokémon being good in raids. Even if Galarian Slowking, Hisuian Electrode or Golbat aren't great in Great League (Shadow Golbat is kinda good now, but still heavily relies on baits for any non-Counter-users), they can still hold dominating positions in cups. Too bad most of my favorite Pokémon are either B-tier at best in raids or are stuck with Astonish for energy generation.
>Niantic states that Astonish will generate more energy during the next season, making people think it will probably become a Snarl clone>Turns out it was a non-buff to make shitters think that Chimecho, Beheeyem and Hoopa were worth using during the Psychic CupI hate that Niantic, specifically Steranka, always talks about "improving the competitive aspect of Pokémon GO", then proceeds to keep the meta mostly the same with a few new spice picks for the year, making Open Great and Ultra League feel basically the same since 2020. Fuck, I miss shit like the Silph Cups since those at least gave me a reason to use Breloom and Torkoal.
