Seeing as how we STILL don’t have the banlist to determine the Great League Remix meta, today we’re instead going to look at the Master League Premier meta, shaken up quite a bit this season! Come see what’s on the rise with the latest JRE “Tips & Tricks”! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Community Day is here again, so of course that means it’s time for a look at REUNICLUS with new move Charm! Come see why it’s the new best PvP fast move Reun has got… but honestly, still not the kind of move Reuniclus needs, and what would be instead. www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

A midnight treat for you, Pokéfriends… time to take a quick look at the newest release in Pokémon GO and see how useful HYDRAPPLE might be in PvP. Is this finally the Grassy Dragon that can do some damage, or just a rotten apple? 🍎🍏 Let’s check it out! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Fantasy Cup (in Great League) is underway! If you’re looking for some Tips and Tricks to help escape the RPS nature of this format, JRE has got you covered! Come check out a few unusual options to help you get an edge, and good luck, battlers! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Everything is completely normal…with the arrival of Dudunsparce to Pokémon GO. How does it stack up compared to the infamous Dunsparce in PvP? Let’s check it out with another bite-size analysis. That’s right, Pokéfriends: time once again for Quick Bites! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

I was excited about the announcement of Shadow Claw Metagross (coming to Mega Raid Day in a couple weeks) and had some rare time on my hands, so I decided why wait? Let’s do a comparative analysis NOW! And here it is, in the latest edition of Quick Bites! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Hey Pokéfriends, JRE here. Unfortunately not gonna have an analysis for Willpower Cup this cycle. Gave it the ol’ college try, but it’s been a rough few days for the family. Raising 3 high schoolers is HARD. 😮‍💨 I’ll be back at it soon, but will have to skip this Cup. Sorry…. 😞

Didn’t we JUST have a GO Rocket event? Oh well… they’re back again with a whole new crop of Shadow Pokémon! There ARE some good ones here for PvP, and those at the top of the priority list may surprise you! Let’s take a look. Good hunting, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Community Day is here, bringing with it an all-new and CHILL move for Florges! Come see how it performs in PvP with the new Chilling Water 🥶, and why this move might be just what it needed to (re-)emerge on PvP battlefields! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

We made it! JUST in time for the new season, here is the third and final chapter of the comprehensive PvP analysis you’ve been looking for on the GBL Season 24 move rebalance! Come see what Pokémon will shape the new meta, and best of luck, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Alright Pokéfriends, it’s here: Part 2 of the most in-depth analysis you’ll find on GBL Season 24’s massive move rebalance! And here, there be DRAGONS! 🐲 Come see how nearly all of them will be on the rise across all Leagues, and how high they’ll fly! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

As we slide into a new Season and a new month, August has one more PvP treat for us. That’s right, it’s Community Day weekend, and Air Cutter Corviknight is here! This is one you WILL want in the new season & moving forward. Let’s check out WHY together! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

While Moonblast remains a very viable move for Altaria, Flamethrower will provide a nice new coverage option, trading away Darks like Galarian Moltres and (Snarl) Mandibuzz, but beating things like Forretress, Corviknight, Lapras, and Empoleon instead feels great! 🔥 #PvPfacts

No frills, no lengthy analysis (but still some classic JRE humor!). This is a QUICK analysis, especially by JRE standards! Come see what I literally cranked out in one hour of analysis on the new and surprisingly impressive Dondozo. Enjoy, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

GBL Season 24: Tales of Transformation is just over a week away, so it’s time we dive in to some analysis on the coming move rebalance! Today, in Part 1, we highlight known moves with new distribution, and there are some GREAT new options. Come and see! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Crustle REALLY gonna like Rock Wrecker next season. In GL, the Shadow gains Lapras, G-Weezing, Dusclops, Forretress, ShadowTina, and even Clodsire. And in UL, Crusty picks up Feraligatr, Dragonite, Togekiss, Shadow Drapion, Kingdra, Turtonator, Typhlosion and many more! #PvPfacts

As I work thru the long rebalance analysis, let’s start with some #PvPfacts! Venusaur with Sludge makes big gains in GL, including Feraligatr, Golisopod (even with Fury Cutter), Charjabug, Shadow Sableye, Shadow Annihilape, Shadow Gyarados (yes, that’s legit now!) and many more!

It’s been a chaotic last 24 hours for PvP, but Eternatus arrives in GO this week! My analysis was 90% done when the move rebalance news dropped last night, so while this analysis now comes with caveats, I didn’t want to leave everyone hanging. Here we go! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Delightful Days has been taken over by Team GO Rocket, and you know what that means: a new batch of Shadow Pokémon to try out in PvP! 👀 There are several great new toys to play with here, from new spice to brand new top meta options. Let’s check ‘em out! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Snom arrives in Pokémon GO with the Cozy Companions Event! How does it look in PvP? Oh, and there’s also Frosmoth, I guess…. Well, ONE of these is quite good, and the other… well… come and see, and good luck with your hatches! 🥚❄️ www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Feeling under the weather, but this is nearly done. Spoiler alert: it is Snom that is the REAL prize. 👀 Next up after that: Delightful Days Rocket Takeover analysis. 😈

Dinner last night and breakfast this morning! 🥓🍳 #CookingWithJRE 🤤 Working on analyses of Frosmoth (and Snom!) and the next batch of Shadow Pokémon throughout the weekend. Stay tuned for those tasty treats too! 😋

Fossil Cup returns! No standard “Nifty Or Thrifty” this time around, but that’s because I’m trying something different. Come with me as we take a look at some Tips & Tricks on what moves and ‘mons are on the upswing and get a competitive edge! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Toedscruel arrives during this year’s (Fossil free?) Adventure Week. Is it one you want for PvP? Let’s check it out! 🍄‍🟫 www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Aegislash has been out long enough for the dust to settle from, quite frankly, a chaotic release. Now that it’s working as intended, how does it ACTUALLY perform in PvP? Thanks to PvPoke, we can do a proper analysis and see! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo... pokemongohub.net/post/pvp/an-...

Aegislash has officially arrived in Pokémon GO, and it comes to us as a truly unique specimen, with form changes, funky damage hijinks, and a chess match feel! Come with me as we explore the potential of this one-of-a-kind new PvP weapon! ⚔️🛡️ www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

#PokemonGOCommunityDay returns with a new Water starter in Quaquaval! How does the Dancer Pokémon fare with its TWO new charge moves in PvP? Can Quaquaquaval compete with the many other Water starters and Fighting Water types? Let’s check it out! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

As promised, doing something different with Sunshine Cup analysis. But not new… it’s actually old, with a revisit to the Core Meltdown series after nearly a year break! Come get your creative juices flowing with some team building and corebreaking ideas! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Hisuian Lilligant arrives during a dedicated Raid Day on Saturday. Pretty easy solo too with Flying types. But is it worth the raid grind for PvP? Does it have any advantages over, say, fellow Fighting/Grass Chesnaught? Let’s see! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Hisuian Zoroark and its one-of-a-kind Normal/Ghost typing arrives in Pokémon GO on Tuesday. Is it worth the grind for PvP? How does it stack up versus similarly flimsy Ghosts? Come with me as we seek to answer your questions, and good hunting, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans! And happy Friday for everyone else. 😀

I think folks are ready to move on from Little Element Cup 😅, so in next week’s Hisui Cup, Spiritomb is rising, able to beat all Darks but H-Samurott & Honchkrow, and ALL Ghosts, Psychics, and Normals, plus Toxicroak, Sneasler, Vespiquen, Empoleon, Aboma, Hippo & more! #PvPfacts

I will be writing up a short analysis on Hisuian Zoroark, but not surprisingly, its complete lack of bulk really holds it back. The intriguing type combination of Normal and Ghost, plus a really solid moveset, gives it some spice potential, but hard to see it making many waves.

Little Element Cup is back for the first time in over TWO years… can you believe it? A lot has changed since then, so come see what’s new, what’s familiar, and of course, what’s Nifty Or Thrifty in the OG Little League meta. Good luck, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Dewpider likes the Bug Bite buff, able now to chew through through all Grasses in Little Element Cup except sometimes Pumpkaboo, all Waters but Tentacool, Skrelp, Ducklett, and Chinchou, and even relevant Fire types like Vulpix, Fennekin, and Numel! #PvPfacts

Bringing this this back to the top for the weekend, because of course we get Global GOFest! Lots of good wild spawns too, but make sure not to miss out on Gogoat and especially Klekfi which is a REALLY good option in today’s Ghost/Poison/Bug-heavier meta. Have fun, Pokéfriends!

Of course, what would Little Element Cup be without Ducklett? It’s still capable of beating all Grasses but Lileep and sometimes Ferroseed, all Fires but Salandit, and even most non-Rock Waters but Chinchou, Seel, Slowpoke, Tentacool, Staryu and a handful of others. 😬 #PvPfacts

Here’s one I never expected to write, but folks have been asking about all week. With the Regis able to be caught all the way down to Level 1 as part of the Ancients Recovered special research, how are they in… Little League?! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo... pokemongohub.net/post/pvp/lit...

In Little Element Cup, Sewaddle with buffed Bug Bite can beat all Grasses but Pumpkaboo, as well as most Waters including Wooper, Barboach, Shellos, Binacle, Carvanha, Slowpoke, Chinchou, Spheal and more! Just steer clear of Fire types. 🥵 #PvPfacts

No caption needed! 🤤 #CookingWithJRE

Little Element Cup returns in a week, and Acid Skrelp is now ranked #1! Buffed Acid picks up wins over Ducklett, Lileep, Foongus, Pumpkaboo, Dewpider, and Carvanha, added to other wins like Litwick, Vulpix, Litleo, Tentacool, and Cottonee. Full meta analysis underway! #PvPfacts

The Regis are ALL back this week during the Ancients Recovered Event! How good are they with their exclusive moves, especially Regidrago, Regieleki, and Regigigas with their brand new moves? (Spoiler alert: get Regidrago!!) Let’s break it down! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Yep, Clanging Scales will have value. It’s a little awkward on Kommo-o, especially in Great League, but you’re gonna want to have it. Analysis underway ASAP! (And thanks as always to @PvPoke for the updates!)

Nifty Or Thrifty returns! And JUST in time for the Ultra League edition of Summer Cup! ☀️😎 Come with me as we see what’s new and improved in the meta, and of course, what’s most affordable! Good luck, Pokéfriends! www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...

Not a ton changed in Sunshine Cup to kick off GBL Season 23, but Gligar is BACK with buffed Fury Cutter, folks. In Sunshine, the Shadow version gains Pidgeot, Furret, Lickilicky, Shadow Quagsire, Flygon, and even Abomasnow now! Get ready to see a bunch this time around! #PvPfacts
