The only benefit typing gives is from the stage bonuses (for example, First Steppe boosts fighting types). There's STAB (not sure on the multiplier but I'd guess it's a bit like PoGo) and IVs, but no EVs (afaik) and no type matchups. My Poliwhirl evolved at level 36 and I'd imagine that it's the same for all stage 2s who evolve through trading/stones. In practice Eevee and Growlithe focus on one pokemon while Pidgeotto is swarmed, Pidgeotto doesn't move when I press the scatter button or does only to run back into the boss's attack or just tries to run into a wall.Įvery Pokémon evolves by level up. In theory my Eevee and Growlithe take the front line while Pidgeotto stays back and conserves health so Eevee and Growlithe can revive from fainting.
Still is it just me or is the AI that controls your pokemon an idiot? I have an Eevee, Growlithe and Pidgeotto on my team. I have a shiny Meowth that I kind of want to use to grind up one of my other pokemon's levels but I don't want to do that if it turns out shinys are rare and I've been extremely lucky. I have gotten 3 shinys so far and I have had the game for less than a week. Still does anyone know what the shiny rate is? I believe shinys are more common then they were in the main series games. It said that type match ups are not in the game. Click to expand.There is some information about this game on pokemon's website.
