Item Drop Rates This Update

Additional Information

As always, PM me for mistakes and I will correct it.

It appears the game is in preparation to be shut down. This week's Event Data had 715 events and scheduling has been automated. The final batch of main stages has dropped. It's possible to get to Trainer Rank 30, if you keep playing until July.

I guess the real meaning of Shuffle was the friends we made along the way.

Game Mechanic Changes

• New Megas
  Certain Pokémon in the update have new Mega Effects:

• New Skills
  These skills, though they have been previously datamined, finally received full data today:

• New Pokémon
  These Pokémon were released in the update:

• Celebchus Finalized
  The Celebration Challenge Pikachus now all have data:

New Content

• Main Stages Added!
  The final batch of Main Stages is here. After Stage 700, UX Stages follow on from the Main stages. UX stages appear to be the same Pokémon in the same order as Main Stages, though presumably tougher.
  Information on UX stages is in progress.

• Expert Stage Added!
  The final Expert Stage is Primal Groudon. It requires 700 S-Ranks— but UX stages count.

RML Info

Every Pokémon can now use RMLs! Yes, every Pokémon. Most Pokémon that could previously not use RMLs can now use 5.
In addition, the following Pokémon received RML updates:

Skill Swapper Info

A number of Pokémon have received alternate Skills: (Bold indicates an ability released in this update or an ability of particular note.)

Events Automated

Events are now run on an automated schedule, which is detailed in .

Today's Music Suggestions

I was going to recommend this for today:

More Bendy and the Ink Machine character songs.

But seeing this update, I am instead compelled to plug some old-fashioned final boss music instead:

Looking backwards:

And, looking forward:

Ninja Tactics: Ninjask / Accelgor use their blinding speed to always dodge the first super effective attack used on it. However the sheer speed causes the user to drop their held item. If the user has no item, it instead takes a toll on them and drops their speed by 1 stage.

The ability fails if the mon is carrying an item that can't be removed (anything that trick / knock off fails on) because it weighs them down too much and resets if switched out.

Moves that don't check accuracy, moves like Mind Reader and the 2nd-5th hit of Multi Hit moves ignore this ability.

Caltrop Trap: If Ninjask / Accelgor successfully lands an attack, sets up one layer of spikes.

I feel like this could really increase both of these pokemon's viability in conjunction with U-turn. You could set up free spikes or get free switches / turns either to set up boosts or substitute. Also it could work really well with Acrobatics + Swords Dance on Ninjask as long as you keep an item in tact. A little less useful on Accelgor maybe, perhaps use it to set something up and then land a free final gambit?

I feel like even with losing an item Ninja Tactics might be a bit too powerful, but I'm not sure.

(Ninja Tactics replaces Infiltrator on Ninjask and Hydration on Accelgor. Caltrop Trap replaces Sticky Hold on Accelgor.)

Last Re-post of mine from for today.

I know HA Shelmet isn't easy to find before gen 8, but I'd prefer legit offers. If you happen to have one I'd appreciate it. I am willing to trade plenty of breedjects (Nidoran, DBHA Duskull, Rotom, 6IV HA Magikarp, Cottonee, Honedge or if you'd like me to breed something I can do that as well). I am also willing to part with one of my unused shinies, which include Deino, Turtwig, Chansey, Pyroar (F), Raticate-A, or Riolu.

(Heading to sleep now, will respond to your comment in 7-8 hours)

Esca has really good stats, besides his obvious speed causing him to always go second I still feel like he’s a solid choice with only fire being his 4x with a decent amount of the old meta out, I feel like he has a place here. Accelgor I can see why it’s not the best around but still he has amazing speed and good SpA, It has access to poison, fighting, bug, grass, and water. I’m newish to Pokémon competitive so any insight is appreciated!

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know if the pokemons in the title are good for PVP or PVE?
basically PVP...

Is there any point having a good IV Karrablast or Shelmet and give a thought about trade it or not (not so you can keep the good IV one...), or are just pokedex fillers ?

Please tell me something good about Carracosta...Im a fan...!

Thanks Guys!
