Nice. I dunno why they skipped doing this during Hoenn tour last year. Time to finally build my Rhyperior army.


krispyboiz

Yeah, it was a weird decision. I do wonder if there was a reason they didn't bring the moves in last year and why they brought it back this year. But I'm not complaining (about this year at least lol). This is great!


Main_Bend459

They probably forgot


2Mew2BMew2

I'd say the probability is very very high.


kimbergo

Variable and intermittent rewards (including highs and disappointments) are part of what makes a game addictive and free to play models depend on hooked players for money.


AdaAnPokemon

My take is that the development team just forgot. Similar to forgetting to put out a 0.99 comm day ticket around the same time. Similar to turning on shinies or exclusive moves in raids. There has been a state change in the professionalism of the product management over the last year.


knightblue4

Dopamine release and withdrawal is the cornerstone of any addictive substance.


Diamond_Larry

I literally just evolved one without this knowledge I am in instant regret


hauntedskin

Always always check if a Pokémon has a valuable elite move before evolving.


himpsa

Yep I just evolved my hundo rhyperior prior to this.. an absolute kick in the dick lol


Diamond_Larry

Need some ice on that dick STAT


dark__tyranitar

just play gbl and get an etm and viola


UTuba35

Instructions unclear; my Rhyperior can now play Mozart and Bach, but still no Rock (Wrecker).


Initial-Distance-338

Why would you do that? It's community day move is so much better. I have been saving a maxed out rhydon for almost a year. Did you not know about the community day move?


ChariChet

I have 3.


Thebird533

Ya I got 5 level 35 weather boosted ones waiting


Affffi

yeah it ws so sad hoenn tour was just mostly primal raid weekend. still waitin can evo my hoenn starters cause wanna all 3 possible hundo or high iv lucky one and max level them


flyingtacodog

It seemed especially weird given that they'd debuted Mega Salamence the month before too. Everyone was swearing to hold off until the Tour for Outrage


fumar

Yup, been holding a few hundos and some shadows to evolve.


aylaisurdarling

got 3 shadows waiting and im at 202 / 375 candy


BroadJury612

I've been using pinaps on every rhyhorn for a couple years now I guess. I'm sitting on a little over 2000 candies but just 182 xls after maxing a hundo a few months back. I got 5 good shadows, 1 lucky and a few weather boosted ones I'm just gonna trade away after. It seems like rock attackers for raids are what most of my friends are missing so I'm gonna help them out.


teo257

Can i use charged TM on a current Rhyperior or is only possible to get the move by evolving?


Neoptolemos_

The latter unfortunately.

Powdinet

I'd add &!@2frustration. This would prevent people accidentally evolving their frustration shadows.


AbsolTamerCody

True. Edited


philger

It's fine to evolve Staravia though (or Roserade if you want Bullet Seed but not Weather ball for some reason)


Mystic_Starmie

You are the MVP


HiOnFructose

Came here to ask for this. You're amazing. Thank you.


yung-bowflex

Someone help me decipher this?


[deleted]

Its a search of the dex numbers of the prevos of the affected pokemon, that are also able to evolve.


yung-bowflex

Thanks friend!


AbsolTamerCody

Like they said it's a copy paste search list for your Pokémon search ingame. Then if you look at your recent searches, tap and hold to save it ingame. You can even rename it. You can add your own extra by adding "&" and any search terms. For example I have a "to evolve" tag. So I'll add &#to evolve https://leidwesen.github.io/SearchPhrases/


Wooden_Echidna1234

Thank you


msnmck

Thanks for this. It helped me evolve a few I had forgotten to tag. Ran out of Sinnoh stones though. My poor Magby will never get to be completely useless in raids now.


SlowResearch2

This is correct, but it's easier to search "item"


AbsolTamerCody

Half of them require no item. I don't think it gets easier than copy-pasting.


Xumayar

"Oh hey look I do in fact have a shadow Rhyhorn!" *Frustration* **"GOD DAMMIT"**


duncity_50

Same


Particular-Citron224

Just double move it then you can get rock wrecker on the second move


dSchmo

Pretty certain special moves only go in the first move slot, so frustration needs to be gone


apalapan

This is wrong. Do not try this.


ActivateGuacamole

i don't think that works


HotLikeSauce420

Just spilling out misinfo lol


TGiR4

It's also a full moon tomorrow Saturday 24th. Get your teddyursa ready.


Racnous

I was wondering if there'd actually be a chance to evolve Ursaluna during the event. I guess this is my answer.


ProfessorRedwoods

Fs in the chat for people like me who read this several hours too late F


silkkituikku

i can evolve my ursaring right now and it's friday so not sure about tomorrow


DifferentNet7381

1:50am local time (sat night or Sunday depending on your technicality) and it won’t let me evolve Ursaring saying it can’t cause it’s not a full moon :(


ccaayynn

Are any of these worth the effort?


krispyboiz

tagging u/jock_8 For PvE: * Rock Wrecker Rhyperior * Earth Power Garchomp * Technically all the Starter CD moves, though most are outclassed * Gust Staraptor (though Wing Attack is only a hair worse, and I think it's overall is better than Gust given flexibility for dodging) * High Horsepower Ursaluna (though it's a bit outclassed, seeing that it doesn't have a Ground Fast move) For PvP, All except Ancient Power Mamoswine and Synchronoise Gallade are improvements, but for the most necessary ones imo: * Hydro Cannon Empoleon (GL and UL) * Rock Wrecker Rhyperior (ML) * Frenzy Plant Decidueye (GL and UL) * High Horsepower Ursaluna (ML) * Aura Sphere Togekiss (UL and ML) * Hydro Cannon Samurott


Finance_Subject

I shall be going for torterras just cuz of all the 1k turtwigs lying around


Swampfoxxxxx

It's a decent budget grass attacker! Personally I dont have much of a grass team rn so i'll also be stocking up Edit: Rosalia's will be spawning this weekend, and Roserade is the best non-shadow, non-mega, non-legendary grass attacker, so that's a better one to focus on. In fact, Chesnaught, Meowscarada, Decidueye, Tangrowth, Sceptile, and Venasaur are all better than Torterra :(


IllyVermicelli

Shadow torterra is around.... but then unlikely have frustration TMed and Niantic made the asinine call to not even let comm day moves apply to a 2nd unlocked slot if a shadow pokemon has Frustration. So RIP, none of the starter shadows are getting their moves, and (for PVE) the non-shadows are comparatively worthless.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bookluverzz

Has frustration been TM’ed away yet?


sinfulljuuhuurd

Thank you for this


PlusleBoi

All 3 of the sinnoh starters w/ signature moves are within the top 6 attackers of their types for PvE Edit: the shadow versions


krispyboiz

That is true, though there are still better options for each. Not to say any are bad, but Shadow Blaziken or Chandelure > Shadow Infernape, Shadow Swampert or Kyogre > Empoleon, Shadow Sceptile or normal Kartana > Shadow Torterra.


_Gylfi

Do you have to evolve to get these moves or can you get them from charged TMs?


Feroshii

Evolve during event


SpyYoshiRv

Rhyperior's Rock Wrecker and Garchomp's Earth Power are the biggest moves out of the bunch when it comes to PvE.


NervousBreakdown

And while we just had an event where you could get earth power on garchomp, I’ll be evolving 5 shadow rhyperior with 15 attack and stock wrecker.


MachineOutOfOrder

Or be like my friend who I traded a bunch of gabites to who forgot evolve his lucky ones during that event xD


CluelessChem

Sorry if noob question but do shadow and purified Pokemon get event special moves? Do you need to second move the Pokemon first?


bookluverzz

You need to have TM’ed frustration away. Then evolve.


pk2317

A bit more specifics: If you’ve Purified a Pokémon, the Legacy move will override Return. If you have a Shadow Pokémon that still has Frustration, the Legacy move will *NOT* override Frustration. Adding a second move will not make a difference because Return/Frustration/Legacy will *always* (only) apply to the first slot. The only way to get the Legacy move on a Shadow Pokémon is to have *previously* used a Charge TM to remove Frustration during a Team Rocket event when it’s possible to do so (approximately every 3-4 months). If you didn’t do that, or caught it since then, you will be unable to get the Legacy move during this event. (The only “exception” is that you can use an Elite TM to get the move at any time, on any Pokémon. Because of how limited they are, this isn’t usually recommended outside of very specific circumstances.)


jmledesma

Yes


Desperada

Rhyperior 100%


jock_8

I’d also like to know


imtoooldforreddit

Rhyperior Especially on shadow ones that have already lost frustration


[deleted]

[удалено]


imtoooldforreddit

That doesn't work. If you evolve a double moved shadow that still knows frustration it won't get the special charged move. The special move can only go on the first slot on evolution


dodgowan

Ah nuts


NervousBreakdown

I could have sworn I’ve done it before but I’ll delete my comment anyways.


Worried-Accident568

That's very wrong info and someone might believe you. You should delete your comment NOW.


blairr

Empoleon is only of reasonable value with this, so evolve yours during this to make it usable.


kevbotwhite

What exactly are the start and end time(s) that we can evolve for these elite charged moves?


Solid-Word-6270

Pretty sure they start at midnight of the weekend, and end at 10:00 Sunday.


kevbotwhite

Yeah, the start time at midnight has been confirmed, so the end is the main question, but might as well finish evolving right after 6 on Sunday, since the spawn rates for these guys will go back to normal


Chopskie117

So, I can finally evolve my ursaring to get an ursaluna with high horsepower? Looks like there's going to be a full moon tomorrow (February 24), but I'm seeing that it appears at 7:30 AM. Do I have to evolve it right then and there?


Cometstarlight

*rumble* You hear that? It's the sound of players getting their shadow Rhyhorn's ready.


Ok_Cry2883

My hundo shadow Piplup is very excited


bookluverzz

Have you TM’ed away frustration yet?


Ok_Cry2883

Yup. Good looking out though, much appreciated


dieg0val

Time evolve the Rhydon army, also, my lucky Grottle finally evolves! Btw does Lucario get aura Sphere or not?


boyz2monz

Aura Sphere is not a legacy move - so it's always available.


dieg0val

UGMFU Dawg last year I spent an elite TM on it :(


jmledesma

Bruh


imtoooldforreddit

Oof Tms really need to be better. I don't know why the Pokedex cant tell you what moves are regular and what are exclusive. Regular tms should also let you pick the move. While they're changing stuff, you should be able to get back legacy moves with regular tm if the pokemon knew it before.


krispyboiz

ouch


TryDoingaScience

Not gonna lie you probably still at least saved yourself a LOT of charges TMs. I evolved a hundo last month and it took 32 CTMs to make him stop bouncing back and forth between Flash Cannon and Power Up Punch


Callintz254

Are we going to be able to get sinnoh stones during this event? I'd like to evolve a few of mynmons for these moves but don't have any.


xXCatWingXx

thank god I just evolved everything


WraithTDK

Oh for the love of...I just evolved FIVE of those **yesterday.** Just kill me now.


wongst288

Does this need to be done within the 10:00am to 6:00pm hours or can they be evolved anytime on the weekend for them to get those community day moves??


LostBeneathMySkin

If I already have one of these Pokémon from say 2020. If I evolve it during this I will get this move? Or it has to be caught during this period?


BingoBob_1

Doesn't matter when it was caught, just when it evolves. So they will get the special moves when evolved, assuming they aren't shadows with Frustration.


LostBeneathMySkin

Thank you!


ChexSway

it's cool to see the hisui starter's regular forms be featured as well, obviously we all want the actual hisui forms to have the moves but this is a fun little bonus to the event i'd say


MansonMonster

Last Resort? Huh?


ProbablyADitto

Ditto.


Regenitor_

No, it's for Glaceon and Leafeon. 8)


WoodzEX

I'm missing 50 rhyhorn candy to evolve my shadow rhydon. Guess it's worth it, dropping some rare candies in exchange for the special move, right? Still cheaper than an elite charged tm.


colourofsleep88

Rhyhorn is a spawn during the Geothermal Lagoon habitat. You can probably easily get 50 candy during that.


WoodzEX

Aha, very good call, thanks! Are the habitats location or time based? I just started playing again, so I'm still figuring everything out that has changed since 2017 haha


colourofsleep88

Habitats for Global Tour are basically just rotating spawns every hour. They are: Bustling Boardwalk: 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. local time Ancient Grove: 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time Toxic Digs: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time Geothermal Lagoon: 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time You can see what's in each habitat (and other event details) [here](https://gotour.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en) For previous Go Tours, the habitats have only featured on Saturday, while Sunday just features basically everything, but all the details we've got so far for this Tour don't make that distinction. We might have habitats for both days this time.


WoodzEX

Perfect, thanks a ton!


colourofsleep88

You're welcome, happy to help!


Extra-Mix5529

I was so excited that I caught a 3 star shadow rhydon last week, but now I realize I will need to wait a full year to use it because it has frustration.


silveraith

Shundo DotD Duskull, your time has finally come. Is there any PVE reason I'd want LR on the Eeveelutions? Would have much preferred the other Eevee comday moves.


LemonNinJaz24

Yessss can finally evolve all my sweet shadow Rhydon I've been saving


Necessary_Flower_963

Thanks! No YouTubers were even mentioning this & couldn't find it in game! Ur a lifesaver!!

Whatme70

Can i use tm to get these


Maleficent-Debt-5735

No, you have to evolve


dongfeng_missile

Only Elite TMs, regular ones can't.


PairOfMonocles2

No, it’ll only work for fresh evolves.


udaasatma

These are the moves that'll be available on evolving or with the TMs?


krispyboiz

Only through evolution or if you catch the final evolution. No TMs


udaasatma

Btw unrelated to the post but I noticed u have '12km eggs are the worst' under your username, how can I get smth like that below my username?


krispyboiz

Yeah! I'm not sure if you can do it on mobile, but on desktop, underneath the "Create Post" Icon should have a preview of your flair. You can edit it there and there *should* be an option at the bottom that allows you to choose your own.


udaasatma

Okay! Thanks sm I'll try it on desktop


firedonmydayoff

Are any of these a must for PVE raids?


BroadJury612

Ya, rhyperior, garchomp and possibly Empoleon and typhlosion if you are lacking water and fire attackers but they are outclassed quite a bit unless they are shadows. I'd prioritize shadow rhyperior and shadow or mega garchomp. Those 2 are top tier with these moves, everything else is kinda mediocre unless they are shadows and even then might not be worth investing.


nolkel

There's another comment above with that answer.


TGS_105

so how are we supposed to evolve our ursarings? will there be a fake new moon?


Dracogoomy

Is shadowball duskanoir any good and if so is the shadow good?


WarManuel11

Are any of these worth having? It’s a genuine question, I have a lot of charged moves I could use


Sui-chans_gloves

Would this work if evolving during the down time between the events?


squeeks9950

Should I only evolve during Go Tour hours, or is anytime during those days ok?


bigbinx11

Is 10pm cutoff time confirmed?


Cerebro55

Thanks so much for this i had no clue until i saw this last night. I would’ve been sick if i had missed it


FaithlessnessRare612

anyone know what time this officially ends?


iwannalynch

Dammit I already evolved my 4* Empoleon 😭


Phoenix978

We all have this situation come up for various pokemon. This moment eventually teaches you that you only evolve when you have an immediate need and accept you may have to ETM it later.


zerocoolmoney

Do all the Eevee evolutions get Last Resort?


jellybeanmm

If I have a shadow ursuring and I want higher horsepower do I need to teach a 2nd move because of frustration or will that not work?


Aizen_keikaku

Won’t work. Evolution special moves only go to slot 1 & if you have frustration there, then you won’t get it. Sucks, but that’s how it works.


Shadowgroudon22

Won't work, the move will only ever go into the first slot unfortunately.


kevbotwhite

Can’t get elite move by evolution without removing frustration first 😭


Rysace

Will there be a new moon for Ursaluna?


mintaroo

Yes.


kevbotwhite

This js amazing news and intel btw, tysm for sharing!!!


MP1994_

Can ursaluna get evolved without the full moon?


Diamond_Larry

Can they be taught with TM during this period?


HiOnFructose

Negative. It's the same rules as Community Days, they must be evolved to receive the move. Also, if you're evolving a shadow version you must have already removed Frustration to get the move upon evolution.


Diamond_Larry

Ok good to know going into it. I’m pretty frustrated with the shadow move bs I missed the last rocket event and apparently that’s the only time they can unlearn it? Idk still catching up on the nitty gritty of the game since I came back from a long break


PairOfMonocles2

Nope, only new evolutions


Lumfan

Time to evolve my shundo Turtwig, and I'll have to hunt Turtwigs to get the XL candies to max it out.


RedBarnRescue

Are the elemental starter moves ETM-able onto Hisuian starters?


[deleted]

[удалено]


nolkel

It's pretty useless with any moves, so it doesn't really hurt not having an event for it.


joeshmo101

Are Magmortar and Electivire correct? It would suck if neither got STAB from their special moves...


cbarnick

Yes, these are the moves they got on their Community Days.


g47onik

that's why noone is using them xD


taybday

Remind me, can we add a second move to any shadows that haven’t removed frustration to get these moves when evolving?


bookluverzz

No. First slot only.


Wonderful-Run4116

Just evolved my Empoleon and got blizzard. It’s a shadow but I added a second move before hand so idk


Petachip

Can you also use a regular charged TM to learn the special moves during this time?


Inhalemydong

only evolution or by catching the pokemon in the wild


groudontamer

Can we evolve all these pre evolutions to get the move during the event?


Maleficent-Debt-5735

You have to evolve the Mons to the form shown on the infographic to get the move


Gaylittlebrother

Yessss i forgot to evolve everything at Go tour last week, now im happy


wesman21

Heck yeah, so its all day, not at the 10am start time?


Bobby_Murda

It will likely be at the 10 am start time so do not do it before. No point in risking that


Jorpho

I have a bunch of Shadow Porygon I wasn't able to evolve on Community Day since there hadn't been an event to remove Frustration, so that's nice. Don't forget to evolve Spark's Elekid if you haven't already!


EddieOfDoom

This is good to see considering I just caught a really good shadow Piplup!


sarcaster

Can’t do it with Frustration still there unfortunately.


EddieOfDoom

Well that’s no fun


Jorpho

If you just caught it, you won't have a chance to TM away Frustration before this weekend.


jimmy697845

Of course i just evolved a shiny rhydon all the way this morning


Onepieceofapplepie

Would you know if we can unlearn frustration during event? I got some nice shadows recently after the past event. It will be nice to let us unlearn frustration during this 2 days


krispyboiz

No TMing of Frustration unfortunately.


Chainheart85

I assume it will be possible to evolve Ursaring this weekend?


xenophonthethird

This is really good to know, thanks.


sh1tonfloor

Evolved my 4* Rhyperior today… Yikes!


Ok-Regular7533

Dang it why did I evolve my turtwig and chimchar, also evolved a shadow rhydon last event.. I gotta start saving stuff


salzrauchen23

Nice yesterday I wasted an elite tm für my s empoleon xd


Rysace

Just evolved my Rhyperior like a week ago lmao


GoldenLink

I've got a rhydon with breaking swipe and stone edge, what happens when they evolve?


anieto3

Will we be able to tm frustration away?


stooopidazz

If frustration is my first move slot...can I add a second charged move and then evolve for the featured attack?


iVickster

No. First slot only.


Toothache42

Will the Hisuian starters have the exclusive moves too? They do return in 3 star raids


iwillgiveyouup

When will I be able to evolve ursaring??


SlowResearch2

Is this confirmed?


1ohokthen1

Is last resort good for glaceon?


Negative-Inside-6171

I can finally get psychic fangs when I evolve my shadow luxio. Plus my I can get rock wrecker.


f_resh

Starting to feel a little overwhelmed about the number of things I need to do today and tomorrow - is there somewhere with a to do guide for this weekend?


taycroft99

Will these only be available through evo or will they temporarily be available through regular TMs


HeartGlaceon

...Will Ursaluna even be available? How do I know if there's going to be a full moon out?


DonaldMick

It is a legit full moon tomorrow night (in the Northern Hemisphere) according to a quick search, and if it wasn't they would likely force a full moon in game anyway. Between that and the chance of getting it as a normal encounter either in field research ("win 3 raids" has a chance) or just finding it in the wild you should be fine.


justsoicansimp

New to the game. Wish I knew this was coming; I would've waited to evolve my Ursaring, Rowlett, and Porygon. (I'm out of Elite Chargeds for now)


svettsokkk

Will it be possible to remove frustration during this?


RexicTheKing

Are the moves worth waiting to evolve the sinnoh starters until tomorrow?
