I am the proud owner of a shadow Pokémon. And I need some other Pokémon in trades.
In Pokémon GO, there has been a task set to defeat one of the main villains from the series. My son has watched Pokémon on TV, DVD and our streaming service and wants to play the latest game on our console.
Needless to say, that while I have gone further in the game of Pokémon GO, he knows more about the world of Pokémon and therefore is better able to counter Pokémon in player vs player battles and in challenges against powerful Pokémon. Like those that Giovanni has.
On Saturday it was a day for battles against Team Rocket. I had beaten them enough that i just needed to take down Giovanni, but the problem was finding him. But I did. Sadly, just before I had to collect my daughter from a sleep over at a friend of hers. I tried and failed repeatedly to take him down, using the recommended Pokémon that were on several sites. But after repeated failures, I listened to my son, and myself.
The first Pokémon to take down was a Meowth, and I needed to last long enough to make it use its shields so that my Pokémon could take down the next two. After a while, I remembered that there have been the chance to catch a Rhyhorn, or rather several. So I used a Rhyperior. While that is not one of the recommended Pokémon to use, it has the stamina to stand up in combat and dish out punishment as well. After it fell, I turned to my Blaziken to finish it off. After that, Giovanni sent out a Dugtrio and it was here that the advice on the net and from my son helped. Rather than stick with the Gyarados that I had used before with Outrage as its charged attack, I used a Kyogre. With its health points, it was able to last long enough to use its charged attack of Blizzard. In fact once it took down the Dugtrio, it was able to last long enough against the Articuno of Giovanni to use it charged attack before it fell and I was back to my Blazkien. Using Counter and Blast Burn, it defeated the legendary shadow Pokémon and victory was finally mine.
Though I had lost count of the amount of times that I had been defeated!
Anyway, back to the trades that I am after. I am after high CP Pokémon, but just these ones in any lucky trades...

The reason I am after high CP forms of these types is that for those that can evolve, I can do so and get more powerful forms with high stats.
Anyway, thanks.
