Now that these new mega raids have been revealed, has it been shown how much mega energy you get per win or how much more CP does getting the Tier 4 mega evo get?

I don't the energy stuff but Tier 4 Mega's CP is effectively 2 levels. So a level 50 best buddy Tier 4 Mega would be at level 53.

I got the 99 raid pass for 5.4k coins box but I don't even know if I want to pick it up, I've still got 15 green passes left
How quickly do you guys burn through green passes? I kinda feel like my coins would be better spent on remotes

15 passes is genuinely nothing man.
>How quickly do you guys burn through green passes?
Probably like 1-2 hours tops during big events with the local community.
>I kinda feel like my coins would be better spent on remotes
They would definitely NOT be better spent there. However, this greatly depends on if there is a local community near you. If there is, get the green passes.

One thing to note is that the upcoming Tour is shaping up to be kinda ass if you already had good megas, so the 15 green passes might be good enough for this event.

I get what you mean but like every recent raid day we've had gives the free raid passes, 6 (free) +7 with tickets (which I usually do buy)
Are the green passes better value than the ticket that gives you extra gym passes?

Btw, if you save the daily raid pass from the day prior to the event you can get an extra free raid there
>Are the green passes better value than the ticket that gives you extra gym passes?
They might, but the extra goodies you get from the paid raid day tickets outweigh the extra pass you might be getting. Also, buying coins is a slippery slope.

Adding to that, there are some must-tryhard raid days where you are almost guaranteed to need a lot of passes such as Mega Fug/Primals, Origin Dialga/Palkia, the Necrozma fusions or the Kyurem fusions (even more so if you wanna be able to level up your mons).

I last played nearly 5 years ago, and recently I felt like coming back, because I have a lot of free time and feel like a lazy bum.
But there's new things I'm confused about, and old things I've forgotten or which may have changed drastically. Checked the FAQ pastebin but it seems a bit outdated (no mention of max battles, routes), so I have a few questions:

>clearing out the Pokédex?
I'm at 2020/2075 pokemon, so I need to get rid of a lot of shit to resume catching. But I remember it being a problem knowing what to keep, and what could have niche uses in some niche PvP bracket.
Has anything changed, would I need to re-evaluate all my old shit, and would I use the same methods (IV scanning apps) as before?

>Max Battles
That's the question, basically the entire thing. Are they worth engaging with? It brings me back to the problem of getting more niche pokemon for niche uses.

>sizes
I remember hearing about this change, but little else. Are pokemon sizes relevant anywhere? Besides being more fucking things to tag and filter in the pokedex.

All this metagaming shit is what made me stop playing last time.

>storage, pvp
Probably the same. I don't do pvp myself but from what I know pokegenie is still the scanning tool you should use. Maybe look up a youtube video or something

>Max Battles
I do really like GMax - if you go to a local community ambassador meetup (download campfire) at exactly 2pm or 1:55pm on Gmax days you could probably join with a wooloo and still get the gmax pokemon, then you can build out a proper team
DMax legendaries are cringe though, so unless you know 3 people irl (or 1 other person and you both play on two phones=4 accounts total), don't bother unless you have all the pokemon

>sizes
xxl/xxs each have a platinum medal you can earn (You need platinum medals for one of the quests to level up between 70-80), though this is one of the harder ones to complete
XXL could be useful to keep for showcases if you want to win showcases, which can give stuff like lucky eggs, star pieces etc if you come first. But besides from showcases they don't have much purpose

BTW keep your oldest pokemon (2019 or older, maybe even 2020), go make a second account on an old phone and catch some stuff, then trade yourself. Take advantage of the guaranteed lucky trades for pokemon before 2020 (might be worth double checking the exact cutoff by searching online) and get some easy hundos or even shundos

Also get an autocatcher

go to dialgadex and just pick w/e s tier attackers for each type you want to pursue in regards to pve.

for pvp, just check rankings per league in pvppoke

Thanks anon. Got the app, and have been comparing any that have good PvP IVs to the site (I figure that even if it has good stats, but it's rank #500+, I should probably still get rid of that shit). Made a good dent in the pokemon collection, but there's still 1500 or so to go through. Then I'll go through whatever I kept once again.

I'll probably end up deleting some things I should have kept (evolution fodder for medals for instance) but I just want this shit done man, I'm going nuclear

>>58949304
Thanks for the tip for PvE. I'll just keep whatever has especially high IVs, then check those mons against the rankings and see if any are worth keeping. I imagine my previous usual picks for raids are a bit dated (regular Mewtwo, Dragonite, a Magnezone, Gardevoir...).

Max battles are a failed feature for a few reasons, most notably for not allowing your old catches to take part in them, therefore you won't find many people to participate. On the bright side, there's little reason to care. Most of the time there is nothing worthwhile to battle. Once in a while Toxtricity comes around if you don't want to farm 400 candies to evolve Toxel from eggs. Duraludon was kind of a max battle release but also available from field research during that event. Eternatus was trickier because it was in a special event battle pass, and you would score the most points by doing its gmax battles (which, unlike the rest, don't let you catch the boss). Technically it wasn't necessary to do as points were obtainable elsewhere, but that was the fastest way if you had access to a group of up to 100 players doing them. I spoofed myself for Eternatus and was done caring.

That's a relief, and also the general vibe I got from a quick look online. I didn't really want to get a whole new set of pokemon for something else.

max battles only happened because they are so stingy with raid passes outside of this battle pass event that gives two per spin so they made raid-lite to placate the playerbase that doesnt get to raid enough unless they bend over backwards. max battles are the fallout, not the failed feature. its the bandaid on a gaping wound of a game they refuse to bring in anyone with fresh ideas/views to fix.

I would at least suggest you partake in Gigantamax raids with your local community (found on the Campfire app). You will get a better than normal shiny boosted mon with a cool alternative form + a lot of dust and experience. Also, Max battles aren't that bad once you get the right mons, but getting those requires someone to trade them to you or for you to get them yourself (tedious).

Do you want a shiny Diancie which will require months of grinding and a general shiny boost during the event? If not don't bother, the only other things from it are some research for a Xernas or Yveltal and chance to get Unowns X or Y.
