gawd the good thing about the special halloween go league is that i can murder superstrong fairy types with my fukkin venomoth

Ash!!1
i need to nickname my venomoth is has been carrying my ass

Ash!!1
Y yo a ti, Cas

Ash!!1

Ash!!1

Ash!!1

I constantly forget that Darkrai is not ghost

Ash!!1
just a weird leggy demon

I never quite get how league works.

: they're just randomized online battles

Ash!!1
but its kinda broken cuz the first pokemon more often than not decides if you're gonna lose or not sob

Ash!!1
but you get rewards based on how many battles you win out of 5 (up to 5 wins for per round, and for the free battles you need to win at least 3 out of 5 to get a special random encounter)

Ash!!1
and you gradually rank up from all your battles, and when you hit rank 20 you get raid battle encounters (the legendaries)

Ash!!1
if you buy a battle pass you only need to win one battle to get a random encounter

Ash!!1
beyond that tho i have no idea how it works

Ash!!1
how do people reach ace trainer rank!! i want that!! i've been at rank 20 so long!!

Ash!!1
also you can only do 5 rounds a day, so 25 battles total, 5 chances for a legendary encounter every day

Ash!!1
and they can be shiny or rare pokemon like scraggy meinfoo or noibat (tho I have yet to run into a noibat)

angstspecialist
I've tried it a few times but I usually do very badly

angstspecialist
Is there like a type of pokemon that works best since you have NO idea what you're going to encounter?

Ash!!1
angstspecialist
: not really but for the ultra and master leagues (2500 and up) i usually lead with a fairy type because SO many players spam fucking legendaries

Ash!!1
or i'll lead with a really defensive water type like lapras or milotic since they can take out dragons and a bunch of other popular mons too

Ash!!1
for the halloween go league tho i've been using venomoth! it has confusion, poison sting, and silver wind so it can take out other poison types, fairies, and dark types.

Ash!!1
it's been carrying my ass the last couple weeks lolol

Ash!!1
obv it doesn't work all the time but i don't mind getting my ass kicked by like, a jumpluff or something

Ash!!1
i rather people use pokemon they like than having to plan around dragons and legendaries all the time hff

Ash!!1
(not that there's anything wrong with those, but after fighting like so many mewtwos and dialgas and giratinas i'm like plz. plz someone use a raichu or sth)

angstspecialist
I'll try that thank you

Ash!!1
np!!

Ash!!1
admittedly i've had fun with go league cuz it's been making me look at lesser used pokemon and realizing they're powerhouses (like venomoth and toxicroak)

Ash!!1
and sylveon is a beast but is easily taken out by poison and steel types if you get a hit in
