Powered up L40 Pokemon

Those “Level 40”, “Perfect IVs”, and “Mega Evolution” labels look interesting and potentially useful, @Arem1771. Where did they come from? I don’t see any sign that you’re using Poke Genie or Calcy IV…

They’re tags, a new feature put into Pokemon GO. Basically they allow you to sort Pokemon as you see fit, and yes, they are VERY useful. The only thing you can’t do–yet–is create battle teams using the tags, so using a “Great League” tag wouldn’t be avisable, but everything else works great.

The one I created doesn’t show up like yours did. How did you get them to show?

You have to place Pokémon in the tag groups. You can either mass add them–lower left button that looks like a Pikachu with a plus sign–or you can add them one at a time in the Pokemon’s profile–the same menu where you can transfer them, appraise them, transfer them, etc.

When I got to Level 43, it demanded I level up a Pokemon 43 times. Rude. Anyway, it gave me an excuse to level up this pairing:

New Level 40, in case I get to use Mega Venusaur against Regirock this weekend.

Prepped for Registeel. It’s so good to have this one at Level 40 now.

I count any Team GO Rocket capture as a wild catch as it has the same IV odds as any wild capture.

Can’t figure out what Team GO Rocket captures have to do with this. But nice Swampert.

After pumping Stardust and Rare Candy into Metagross with Meteor Mash for Black Kyurem, I decided it was time to start pumping my Shadow Mewtwos up to 40. I expect them to see action soon…

One has Psystrike and the other Shadow Ball, fwiw…

I’ve also recently powered this beast up to Level 40. I’ve used it against a bunch of Meowth Balloons already. Really works.

What move set are you using on Meowth Balloons?
Does the Swamp Rat clean up all 3 Pokémon?

I’m currently doing those with a 93% L40 Reshiram. It’s roughly 60-70% all that’s needed for the 3 in either set.

Powered these 2 up over the last couple of weeks and forgot to post them up.

I use one Mud Shot/Hydro Cannon Swampert to defeat Jessie and one to defeat James. I honestly think that it may even be possible to defeat them both with just one Swampert, but I haven’t tried it.

I believe I’ve done that, if you remember to abuse their cooldown it’s pretty easy

I’ll sub my big one in and see if the Swamp Rats up to the job.

Newest Level 40. I won’t use this against Regice, but it was nice to level this up. Turns out I leveled up all my Fighting-type hundos except for this one–there’s still my Pignite that I’m waiting to evolve in case there’s a Community Day for it at any point but he’ll be a designated Fire-type.

Did it for Ho-Oh coming tomorrow, but I won’t use it against Ho-Oh except maybe in a beta team.
