GIGANTIC BUFF! *NEW* 100% XL RAGE FIST ANNIHILAPE IS TOP META AGAIN IN THE MASTER PREMIER CUP | GBL

[@andrewcollard2872]

Managed to spend all my seasonal luck at once to get a 14/14/15 shadow Annihilape. Thoughts on a team to build around him?

[@jfmangano]

Charged TM roulette legitimately makes me not want to build new Pokémon. My engagement with Pokémon GO and PoGO content has been waning of late, so there's that, but the TM drought is real. I honestly don't know why, either. It's frustrating.

[@frankglizzzy9451]

We’ll play gbl. I literally haven’t played since the last rocket event started grinding gbl I got 2 elite charge tms this past month plus a elite fast tm and 34 regular charge tms n 24 fast tms plus 600k stardust

[@ShirleyCarlton]

@@frankglizzzy9451yup, raiding helps too

[@mrex666productions7]

You know why the charge TM roulette is depleting all your TMs? Because the raids are just bad for some time already. If they actually put some neat stuff in Tier 3s instead of Weepinbell people will do them and get away with a bunch of TMs.

[@mrex666productions7]

@@frankglizzzy9451 No, GBL is just giving me migraines. Usually now I just stop playing altogether unless something is really interesting or needed.

[@tiagocoelho6905]

I'm running outo of C. TMs and I barely get new ones on GBL prizes, raids or missions. It's impossible to build new pokemons without TM's.

[@lordlucario8828]

doing tier 3 raids guarantees a charge tm. but that all depends how much you can do of them. i just bought a box with 100 passes in it so im ready for the crazy events to come this month, and that tapped me out for money as i only spend 40 a month on this game. just gotta raid more if you need a large amount of tm's. not to mention getting an elite charge every time its available is crucial to not to play roulette with the moves

[@arnhav6090]

The lag is crazy, i dont really have the frame drops but many times i fail to sneak a fast move, or fail to go for a cmp because i lag a turn. It happened today as well. Insane

[@junelinn9161]

That happens on both sides anyway , but bad players tend to use this as an excuse for their skill issues 😂

[@wuguxiandi9413]

​@junelinn9161 I am no PvP legend, but losing because lag diddled you isn't fun. Not sure you can call losing a match due to a full incinerate getting through before you can throw a charge move as "skill issue".

[@junelinn9161]

@wuguxiandi9413 you actually win the same amount of games due to lag on opponents side, it even outs anyway, for the long term the better player still wins more games than the worse one

[@SY_Ajmeri]

​@@wuguxiandi9413 I am agree with you bcz i lost 40 % in every set due to game lag.😑

[@mbvglider]

I was scared about the Ape, but I think it’s not going to affect the ML meta much. It’s true that Annihilape has impressive bulk. I’ve seen it take a Moonblast from Xerneas after switching in and still have a few HP left. It has about the same bulk as something like Palkia. The main issue is the attack stat is pretty mediocre. Without a boost, its STAB Close Combat is barely stronger than from Xerneas/Zacian, who also get there faster. It’s not doing really respectful damage until it gets a boost, and Counter is just not quite fast enough. I think it has a lot of potential in ML, but I feel like Rage Fist isn’t really flipping things around for the Ape, but rather just letting it do a bit better. Seems balanced in ML.

[@mattiaskeinnn3317]

Just so everybody is aware of this, dont waste your resources building the shadow for masters before the league rotation. If rage fist doesn’t get nerfed niantic is out of their mind… on second thoughts… build it. They do everything backwards they’ll probably nerf karate chop instead in typical niantic fashion.

[@joaquinnavajo3939]

So true. Nerfnanic always messes a good thing up.

[@dacubanmofo]

No nerfs. Annihilape is good again but he’s not gamebreaking.

[@pewtwo9876]

When it comes to the ML, whats the minimum ivs a pokemon would need for you to justify the resource investment?

[@Atomiyt]

96% so something like 15-14-14

[@bevin_joseph]

pref being a hundo or anything between 98 - 96, with Attack being 15 in all the above mentioned scenario.

[@ecastaneda51]

96 and above

[@SomewhatMade]

What other lead could I use with this team? Only shadow magnezones I have are low attack IVs

[@JonkusPKMN]

Gholdengo kinda

[@stimisfit]

Jonkus,I think you are wrong about the resistance for ghost and fighting.Girafrag,think about it

[@jackl7078]

No, you think about it; fighting hits neutral on Girafarig Out of every pokemon, only Hisuain Zoroark is able to resist both ghost and fighting but its not in the game yet.

[@EDEK99]

I pref Close combat and Rage fist, easy 5/0 at 2500 elo~

[@bevin_joseph]

which team are you running?

[@DiamondBack75]

Yeah and you forgot to say that you went 0-5 the next set. Casual

[@dacubanmofo]

@@DiamondBack75how dare you

[@natix_643]

I have to say that master league Annihilape is disappointingly weak. There are no real targets for counter (except maybe Rhyperior), fairies are everywhere, so even when boosted, it cannot really farm anything. Rage fist does laughable damage even if super effective and close combat doesn't one shot anything. I'll rather stick to Gyarados.
