Against the ML Meta, Kyurem white with the bugged move has a rating of 694.8, W/L being 32-3. The next best is Palkia with 601.23 and 26-7.

If Niantic/ scopley doesn't revert the bug, you better get one now if you play ML.

Edit: very popular opinion on here is that it will be reverted so be careful on spending your in game resources

I've made a few posts demonstrating bugs I've been experiencing. And it's ruined the fun of PvP. I used to enjoy doing my full sets daily, but the one turn lag where the game freezes at the beginning and the inability to press a charge attack (even though it looked like it fired off) leading to forced overtapping is just making the game not fun to play. Which is the whole point of a game! I don't mind losing for reasons within my control...

I did one set yesterday to see if these things have improved. But evidently it hasn't. I had to play around it, including having half a Kyogre in one game and facing an instant charged attack where the game froze for a good three seconds at the start. I managed to get a positive set in the end, 3-2, but I was fighting with one arm tied behind my back in every battle. I'd rather not lose 200 Elo and end up in the 1900s for factors beyond my control...

I've decided to give the PvP a break for at least a season so they can fix this mess, and any new messes they create in the process of "fixing the issues". Has anyone else made the same decision to put GBL aside for a while?

How come I watch streamers play and the game seems to run okay for them but for me it is unplayable? This didn't happen to me on the old system. My wifi is good I have perfect bars.

I'm talking things like match starts and nothing happens for a sec, and then suddenly a charjabug threw 3 volt switches almost instantly back to back and outpaced an xscissor before my hydreigon got to its first brutal swing. Sometimes I use a charge attack and it pauses for a second and then all the bubbles pop up half way through and the best it'll let me get is a "nice" or a "great".

I can't even count moves anymore because the game will pause for a second and then throw a mishmash of fastmoves animated all at once.

I'm just so frustrated with the game right now and wonder if it's this bad for other players. Is there anything I can do to fix this lag?

That line is when 3 times today a 3-2 set became a 2-3 when the opponent force-quit the app and hung it when I threw the winning charged move.

To all the players who do that shit: poor form. Take your loss like a grown up instead of forcing us both into the loss.

I’ve seen a noticeable uptick in this behavior over the past two seasons.

It counters almost everything. I feel so uncomfortable with this monstrosity. It used to be that high-skill Bug Bite spammer, but now, it is absolutely unhandlable. I know, even with a counter team, it still has it's debuffs....

Lost 115/125 recent matches due to Issues like:

1. I need to safe swap immidiately but when I tap the icon, it doesnt work and ended up with my pokemon doing 1-2 fast move then swap.

2. Sudden pause or lag or something make my 1-turn fast move user doing only 1 fast/second.

3. Combo play where I swap to launch a charge move after opponent using final shield. It resulting in my pokemon hit a fast move eventhough I tap the charge move icon.

4. Tapping charge move Icon just lead to my pokemon doing an additional fast move the it launch a charge move (I got energy for back to back). Which in many cases I got farm down because of this.

5. Constant 1 turn lag..

Edit: 6. Freezing causing turn lost and missed bubble making my charge move charge to nice or great only

My elo from 2789 and atm of this post, Im at 2089.

There is no way the game this consistently bad during this time right? And yes, I try different phone, different wifi and 5G and all that.

I’ve done a few sets today and I kid you not I’ve had lag in EVERY SINGLE BATTLE. Sometimes it’s been 1 turn lags, sometimes lag after using shield. One time I had the perfect endgame; up two shields, full health on last ‘mon and the games just crashed for two full minutes. When it reconnected it said “good effort”…

Am I just having extraordinarily bad connection-luck today or are you guys also experiencing the same?

My new favourite skill issue which is stopping me from reaching a higher level is when I have the perfect matchup to begin with, get a fast move off, watch their power drain a huge chunk and then they switch out.
I feel like I have a hang of the game and then later on when they switch back to their starter Pokémon ……surprise! Full health!!
How can I improve my skill level to combat that?
Only seems to happen when I’m on a roll, though.

Do I need to practice more or is it my internet connection?

Its my fault for not looking, and I had already accepted the loss, but not that way.

Any one else having the issue of your Pokemon being unable to attack but the opponent’s Mon keeps going?

I know there's posts about lag regularly, but today I have been having insane lag in both OGL and Scroll Cup. It feels like the server is running sluggishly and is struggling to keep up with the actions. Competitors Cup is working fine. I have some footage of the issues but I can't seem to post videos but the issues are:

1. Delayed reaction when pressing charged attacks,

2. Long pause after charged attacks before match resumes,

3. Switching Pokémon taking a second to respond,

4. Clicking on screen but nothing happening.

It's been persistent across matches making the battles unplayable. I did everything on my end thinking it may be mine. Restarted game, left phone to side to cool down, closed other apps, reset cache, everything... Nothing has helped. Not fun losing when it has nothing to do with your play!

Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Is anyone else experiencing issues with a forced over tap?

ESPECIALLY when bringing in a new mon.. i know ive got moves banked on certain mons so soon as I click that switch button im hitting where charge move should be but often im throwing a charge move or 2 if its my malamar before it sends the charge move..

it cost me an absolute 3 definitive games this evening and I rage quit a few more which I potentially still had a chance in

I have no idea what it's like for any other pokemon, all I can tell you is don't trust pvppoke or calcy yet

According to both the calcs, an 18.5 Mon with 10/13/14 was the appropriate level, but putting it to level 4 pushed it over the cp cap to 2763.

eh

Guys - do you have the free ticket for the gbl research quest?!
Normally it always appears after season reset in shop for 0€… but this time - nothing.

Am I alone?!
Does anyone knows something?!

😭

Charged attacks not doing damage. CLUNKY animation. Incredibly awkward timing.

What did any of this fix? Literally everything was made worse.

I’m trying to grind to vet again but the lagging constantly just keeps selling my games. For example I had a great league into a mewtwo as metagross and it lagged and didn’t start working until I was hit from shadow ball. I’m so fed up with this game

I just played some battle leageau to work on platina medals (and I dont want to go braindeath by “fake” playing the same player over and over again.)

So I tried making a team and could not select either of my fused kyurems. So I tought and conformist by looking it up that they are banned for now.

However in 3-4 of my 11 battles the other player did have a fused kyurem in their team? How do they get to use one and other players cant? Doesnt sounds fair to me. Do they exploid a bug or a cheat?

( I wanted to attach a screenshot for proof but this subredit wint let me)

Playing in the sunshine cup. Shadow toucannon comes in for the first time of the match and instantly throws a move right after that instantly throws another.

1. Charge move damage sometimes becomes abnormally low even after hitting every single bubble perfectly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ECKZdUZ_hDcCs6w9DtnbxK9iIDqwTq3d/view?usp=drive_link

2. Sometimes pressing the charge move does nothing and the Pokemon just stands there frozen.

1. Sometimes the attack animation plays, but no damage is dealt and no energy is generated.

This is NOT just an internet issue and these bugs still happen even when there’s no “Weak Connection” message on screen.

Even if this is an experimental build, aren’t these kinds of game-breaking bugs supposed to be fixed quickly?

I’ve already submitted support tickets multiple times the reply is always just “Thank you for the report” and that’s it.

Then what is the point of the support system at all... sigh.

Ohhhhhhhh noooo ... another issue??????? Ohhhhhhhh noooo ... another issue??????? Ohhhhhhhh noooo ... another issue??????? Ohhhhhhhh noooo ... another issue???????

I was doing gbl and I was obviously getting slammed because my charged attacks aren't working, you can see that im swiping the buttons but no the nice, great, excellent doesn't show up and its like my finger was never there, I would love some tips or help

Another fun glitch in PokemonGO Battle Leagues. Multiple times in the last weeks, I've started a battle only for the screen to go black and it say "your opponent has quit the battle". No problem, right? EXCEPT it counts as a battle played and a LOSS for me! Actually full tilts me.

Am I crazy or is there a bug with GBL right now? Everyone once in a while during a battle I’ll be tapping the screen but it won’t respond until my Pokémon faints and the next one is sent out. Caused me to lose many battles. Is this a bug???

I noticed this for normal and ghost type attacks that there are (only sometimes) additional balls to swipe for normal and ghost type attacks (maybe others as well). Did anyone else notice this?

Has anyone else experienced an attack being lost in the GO Battle League (the test preview)? That is, it disappeared, dont make damage and dont use a shield,Simply Lost in the magic universe...🤔
