Thoughts on CP Adjustments

“big wall of text crits you for over 9000!!”

My thoughts: CP is just a number, you shouldn’t care so much.
Blissey’s 500 cp nerf has no effect when you battle it. It just takes as long as before. If anything, she got buffed as defender since she’ll drain motivation a little less fast.

all this CP stuff is based on a mathmetic formula used on the stats pokemon have in the canon games. They changed the formula to better represent the special def stat. That’s all.

I think it’s great. I focus way more on attacking gyms instead of defending them. So a lot of Pokemon I use got buffed. Ones I only use for gym defense got nerfed. Even after reset, Blissey is still just as annoying to beat.

Wnhe the CP change came, it didn’t change how CP was calculated. The formula, how HP and DEF are imported from main series was changed. DEF was first (7/8 better DEF value + 1/7 worse DEF value) and after it was (5/8 and 3/8). It had some other calculations too but you get the point. HP was originally (HP2), and now it’s (HP1,75+50) if I’m correct. This ment every Pokemons defence got lowered and most HP got buffed. (With exception of blissey, Chansey, snor and slaking).

I don’t notice any significant changes but I’m sure there will be some articles about this. Most Pokemon got buffed so…yeah. Gengar received a bit of HP but that’s about it. Have raid bosses changed aswell? Or nobody knows? Also, some people are saying that Hariyama became even worse, I don’t understand how…my maxed out 100% Hariyama still has a lot more HP than Machamp, 250 to be exact. I know it’s weaker, I’m just saying.

Wobuffet got the same HP, Bliss/Chancey got nerfed while every single Pokemon got buffed, including Snorlax and Slaking

Rhydon… Rhyhorn… nerf…

Blissey got nerfed because the hp and defense is lower.

Quite sure she still tanks a Close Combat or Draco Meteor

My son was shattered when the mailman didn’t drop off the game. But I checked Amazon and UPS has it. Not USPS.

I get it in about 3 hours. Your son should have it by then.

He is killing time by beating Ultra Moon right now.
