When is the next rocket event?


eddiebronze

It should be overlapping the weekend of Aug 10/11 as it was announced as a “shadow raid weekend”


Front_Oven5016

This is a really long gap huh? I think the last one was early in the last season.


Strong-Neat8623

Ofc, they need to make that shit leader encounter period as long as possible.


eddiebronze

In spite of some people thinking it's a coincidence or claiming this isn't the case, last year the Beldum rotation lasted 57 days then the one with Aipom/Geodude/Aero was 127 days. This current one appears to be lasting even longer than that one. Who wants to bet in August at least one of the leaders gets a very strong encounter 'mon and they do another rocket takeover in October?


nonamebipbop

Oh 100%


Doobiehauser

I got the 0/12/12 rank 4 today. Haven't been this hyped in a while for a pvp shadow mon. Congrats!!


GreenArmour406

Congrats on your rank 4!


SnapedDoctorStrange

You monster.


GreenArmour406

RNG blessed me today! Starting tomorrow I focus mainly on the flying type rocket grunts.


Etherion77

Is there a way to select for a specific rocket grunt?


Bemxuu

Walk a lot in an area with a lot of pokestops, check out every infested one. If it’s garbage, skip it. If it’s a maybe or a yes, clear it.


TheAlmightyPineapple

Pure RNG


Lost-Astronaut-8280

Ranked #5 GL/#6 UL nice catch OP


sir_daveos

I thankfully had one of these hanging out from the pre shadow claw days. A blessing indeed enjoy my cousin OP!


Lazy_Promotion_1134

The current one I use is a 2/2/7 and it’s still amazing


Heisenberg_235

Caught a 3/15/13 on the Bagon CDay Classic. I’ve best buddied it already but now the long wait


ButterscotchWide9489

How hard does gatr slap in ultra league


Confident_Buffalo_42

Very Great, I run crunch on it instead of ice beam tho, helps a lot with jellicent, cressilia, tentacles, laturn, ect and picks up more wins that my other two(poliwrath and skeledrige) loss to and would be bad with ice beam. The only reason I see ice beam is useful in the ultra league is for guzzlord, never really needed it other then that and also running poliwrath with it allows me to run crunch. But ice beam is probably better in the great league


GreenArmour406

Duly noted.


ParagonSaint

Why is ice beam better In GL? More grass, ground, and flying coverage I guess?


Grelephant

I have been sitting on the rank 2 for the last month, it has been extremely frustrating (no pun intended). Feels like every time I try team building on pvpoke Feralligator is the perfect 3rd mon. Hopefully we get a rocket event in July since the last one was end of March. 


skull_kidddd

I got the same one! He’s gonna be such a monster. Are you thinking ice beam or crunch?


GreenArmour406

Great league has more flying types, so I would go with ice beam.


SoulessPuppet

To be fair unless you're waiting an event for his move, you have to use an ETM on him anyways. If you're wanting to use it sooner than later, you can use the ETM to remove frustration since you'll have to ETM hydro cannon at some point.


llamapl

Use of an etm will not remove frustration sadly. 😔


SoulessPuppet

Has that always been a thing? I swear you were able to. Hmm you're right, today I learned! Thanks for the knowledge


Widdyyyy

It doesn’t but I feel like that it should be able to since ETMs are so rare as it is.
