Remote raiders tend to just want to be carried. It's not so bad in regular raids because the chip damage is very good, but it's usually not enough in Dyna/Gigantamax raids.

Not just that, but there's plenty of people who didn't and generally won't interact with Dynamax stuff often so the amount of players with good counters is generally pretty low outside dedicated ones.

I don't think there's any real reason to do so outside of the Gigantamax Pokedex registration.

Even if you need Meowth candy for some insane reason they're in eggs common enough there's no reason to throw them into power spots.

That doesn't mean shit. They were rebranded as legacy moves ages ago and anyone can get them as long as they have an Elite TM.
>Looking to get some of them, but i don't know if offering non- cday shinies are enough
They are just useful because they will trigger a lucky trade. They aren't in much demand but they will probably not be over abundant. If you want the mon + the move just use an eTM. If you are a collectionfag who wants a mom from that year offer legendaries or something, the lucky trade will make it so it's guaranteed whatever min you give them is lucky (like I said).

LMAO! The dogs (crown forme) were out in like 3-4 different events last year, if you didn't get any you are fucked. We recently got the Kyurem fusions for the first time in 3 years. Eternatus is returning soon™ (probably), that's your best bet for getting the dogs again. If they don't come out then, you might have to wait for the Galar Tour in 2028.

Honestly, depends who's trading it to you. If it's just a casual player who doesn't know how rare it is, you might be able to trade whatever that guy's favourite mom is (helps that the trade will be lucky so they get a sparkly gold mon). If it's a seasoned player who knows what it's worth, you might have to fork out whatever your highest rarity mon is. I'm thinking something like a shiny legendary with a background or a shiny costume mon.

I did interact with dmax a fair bit but I refused to even try gmax meowth, snorlax and pretty much everything else since eternatus
The feature is completely pointless and meaningless, and if you do care about it, then it also undermines your regular catching efforts. Why invest in a community day shundo Grookey if it cannot dmax like every pokemon in mainlines or drink max soup and gmax?
You cannot even boast your gmax catches because the form doesn't display anywhere outside of your catch screen and a COMPLETED max battle spot... sometimes. And assuming that whatever viewer also completed the same max spot.
Max battles are a failed feature and frankly it's astounding how out of place it feels with the rest of the game. And to top it off, gmax shit cannot be sent Home unless they're kanto trash bound for LGPE (and lose gmax factor in the process)

Dynamax could be so much better of a feature

Just make powerspots function more like gyms, minus the capturing from other teams thing.
>Make powerspots spawn a new boss every 2-3 hours that sticks aroundf or 50 minutes instead of one per 2 days
>If you defeat a boss you can put in your pokémon and it stays there collecting candy for a day or two like it does now
>In the down time between bosses your mons will show on the map occasionally to show off to other players
>Include stronger and evolved mons in the regular rotation like Gyaridos, Heracross, Rhyperior, Reuniclus, Duraludon, etc. Make Dynamax the number one way of getting candy for evolved non-legendary pokémon, also makes it easier to have a good party for legendary battle and Gigantamax
>Update the battles to allow for multiple strategies and team comps instead of 2 tanks and 1 max move nuker

What would make the battles themselves way better is:
>Damage your pokémon deals during normal phase fills up a new counter that makes the next max attack deal more damage
So now charged moves actually matter, and there's a reason to use 1 and 1.5 second fast moves. Adds a bit of decision making too.
>Healing also restores health to pokémon who aren't on the battlefield.
>Healing will apply a damage boost to next normal phase
Now healing isn't worse than shielding and also plays into a secondary strategy of building up for a super turn

Honestly with these things, I'd say it comes down to personal preference. I really feel like I'm toeing the line one whether to buy it or not, Diancie alone is great but there's also a lot of potential mons I want in the event. Helps that it's 10 bucks instead of the 15 I got used to.

it does and it sucks but it is what it is. A lot of people complained a lot when Dynamax launched with this same complaint, but it's all died down so there's nothing you (or anyone) can do about it.
Makes it worse that Gigantamax mons powercrept a lot of Dynamax mons lol, so now there's 2 layers of bullshit.

Max Lugia and Max Ho-oh were some of the hardest pieces of content the game has ever had (in a good way). It was challenging, you had to coordinate with your team and you couldn't just beat it with 20 gorrillion level 1 players. Max Battles are in an ok spot I'd say, they just feel crappy because you don't have good mons to use.

I did the Twitch thing yesterday to get the Charged TMs and all, but my Drops section got stuck at 28 minutes and it says i need 2 minutes more to DO NOT REDEEM the Drop. Their Twitch site says the Drops finish in two hours, which would usually mean there's still ways to get those two minutes in, but even if i watch the Rebroadcast or any of the Live channels categories, i don't get the drop.

No. The ticket will give you some stuff, mainly the Diancie's Masterwork Research (and what I assume you read on the website), but the Go Tour Pass (which is different from the ticket) will be the one costing up to $15 and giving you encounters, premium items, Zygarde cells and an unbound Hoopa encounter at the end.

Pointless although true. I might've even bitten despite having both shinies already but then me and my friend realized that she doesn't have anything for max battles and she decided not to even try to come back to the game after all. Failed feature.

I didn't need an excuse lmao I got tanks and dogs and eternatus and a bunch of attackers
The real issue is having 3 other people to pull the same weight and even if you have some potential help, they are met with a prospect of evolving and powering up all over (nevermind max attack upgrades) while their old pokemon of the same species cannot be used because fuck you. and on top of that what are you going to do with a "rogenrock" alone?
you need people who are actively into it and have been for a while, but tons of people don't give a fuck about max battles for the reason above (and others).
they could just allow your old mons to be used and plenty of players would be willing to come back and give it a try and maybe stick around, but obviously that's not going to happen
and then of course there's the matter of the entire feature sticking out like a sore thumb and not fitting with the rest of the game.
TL;DR max battles are an embarrassing failure in game design

Fair enough, I keep forgetting that there are separate things in the tour pass that starts the lead-up to the actual event, and the ticket for Go Tour itself. Read up on it on leekduck, though I don't even know where they got the info since it's not on the website from what I can find. Probably twitter.

That being said, now I understand why you were talking about the pass when I was referring to the event ticket. Different thing, different price. The fact these are even separate to begin with is fucking retarded, but niantic gonna do what they do.

So you're locking yourself out of some interesting content just to own Niantic? There are hundreds of whales splurging on particles for every player who refuses to do max raids, so that changes nothing.
>The same people who care about [all of that]
Again, who cares
>but then me and my friend realized that she doesn't have anything for max battles
You could have traded some mons to her. Ho-Oh and Lugia were pretty challenging, but it wasn't impossible to carry other people. Using a max mushroom and Eternatus' adventure effect, I was able to carry the 3 other players in the lobby (they had ok Mons but not maxed out attackers or anything of the sort).
>>58931439
>Not having other people to battle raid with
Use campfire and find your community. Alternatively use a raid hosting app.

They could but won't because they can relaunch them again.

Everyone complained about this at first when they didn't have good mons to use and there was no one to play with. Both of these things have changed.

Why be this disingenuous? I didn't say they were good or perfect, but max battles are pretty interesting. It's a new style of battles where once you lose your mons you're out, charged attacks don't matter at all so mons get different roles, they give a hefty amount of xp and dust, they give you the chance to catch Mons with an IV floor of 10/10/10 (better than wild encounters) and allow you to get legendaries without using your premium passes.

Because he just wants to be upset and screech, rather than accepting that his entire complaint boils down to being unable to solo carry people who don't actually play the game (disregarding that people who don't play and only show up once a year to a big event deserve to be carried).

As a remote raider, I want to guarantee I'll win, otherwise why would I waste my remote raid pass on you because I can quite literally join a 10-man group at a moment's notice. You might as well host on Genie (did so like 5 mins ago), the queue is like 30 mins but you will get 5 players who 100% intend on joining your raid.

you mean a matchmaking fuckup because this update is being dripfed across regions and a raid fuckup because this definitely needed to be dropped during the kalos week and the servers needed to be destabilized even more. they left it out in the site notice that this was due for early-mid feb and they had to delay it and are now hiding that info behind a non archived ingame notice that this is comically late. obviously theyve downsized the maintainence crew because the fuckups are consistent. theyre more consistent about maintaining their competitive sport garbage that washes their name internationally than the actual running of the project which makes sense when the new owners are saudi.

nobody likes that the go rocket battles require a consistent connection or it will cut your battle short and if that spills over into every battle because battles continue even when the opponent disconnects and obviously "dated devices" are not going to handle the massive resync, that just means they give up on reconnections entirely. at first this looked to be antispoofer but who are we kidding they have never done anything about spoofers. charmander used smokescreen and shit looks fucked until seen in action and there was no need for the lack of transparency if it wasn't. fuck you its february.

Handbreaded qrd summary of the combat side cuz apparently its more important than the damaging effects it'll have on kalos tour (imagine forced updates inbetween raids forcing you to find good wifi fanfuckingtastic. ok rant period over)
>Damage during battles will be calculated at the end of 0.5s ticks instead of being polled variably based on connection
>Submitted charged attacks will resolve on the next tick and with after a fast attack instead of immediate
>Switching will be prioritized and the incoming will eat fast attack damage followed by charged attack damage. Normal switching will incur a tick penalty making you eat the fast attack while forced switching after faint will not incur a tick penalty
>Battles will continue as normal on an opponent disconnect instead of stalling
What this means:
>Fast attacking will now feel like shit if the servers lag and it will frameskip over. It is now superstrict, with the benefit of not letting wonky connections slide in a fast attack and the demerit of potential massive desync and input lag experience. Massive demerit to "solve" fast attack unfairness when they should unfuck their competition network with isp trucks like japan does at global conventions
>Charged attacks will now feel like they have a delayed input, because they don't want people spamming the button for a granted immediate and want to standardize it so they are adding unwanted delay all the time. Massive demerit to experience and makes strong but slow fast moves with energy gen get punished more for trying to compete with their handicap. Eat shit, tap more
>Switching mons will actually function all the time to mitigate damage at the expense of making the switch always eat the fast attack which is a good tradeoff
>ragequiters dont punish their opponents which is good
tldr shits fucked delays everywhere because competitortards complained about shit competition network, its only normal when connection is good and charged attacks will feel like shit
