100% Agreed. I completely do not follow OP's logic on why this needs to be a 'challenge' that we need to overcome. Why exactly does it need to be some kind of puzzle we need to solve? - Let's say all your nerfs are implemented, and you 'figure out the puzzle.' Now you know how to catch alphas without any of the listed suggestions - are you gonna ask for a nerf again? Even with all the current strats available, plenty of my friends spend more timer balls than the Alpha was worth on the GTL to catch it. To me it makes 0 sense why any user would literally be asking for devs to nerf our ability to catch mons during limited time events. If a challenge is what you want, go make it a challenge for yourself. Limit yourself to not using any of the suggestions you listed - don't drag everybody else down with you. FYI - I rarely spend more than 15minutes catching any alpha, and even the current state I consider too long given: 1) the limited time you have to catch them. 2) not everybody is monitoring Alpha swarm appearances like a hawk = we don't have 75 minutes to catch. I found out about Ditto this morning 45 minutes into the swarm so I only had 30 minutes to get there and try and catch it, and I was in a 3k+ queue. Most of us don't start right when an Alpha spawns, and there are long queue times - you still want to make this process take longer? This is quite honestly an asinine take to me. If you want a challenge, do it yourself.

Oh okay, I'm pretty new to Pokemmo. so there will be a Halloween event, and I should save money and buy Ability pills before then?

Got it, thanks so much! Lot of grinding to do to get a team ready 🙂

Sounds good! Could you possibly recommend 4 mons to fill up the rest of the team with specifics on what should be prioritized for each (Nature, EV spread, Moveset, held item)? I'd really appreciate it! Got it, I will look into switching it out for Aerial Ace. Thanks!

I'd like to build a competitive team around the following: Ferrothorn @ Leftovers or Rocky Helmet EVs: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpD Sassy - Stealth Rock - Leech Seed - Worry Seed (? Replaceable) - Gyro Ball Scizor @ Choice Band or Life Orb Ability: Technician EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spe Adamant - U-Turn - Bullet Punch - Close Combat - Pursuit (? Replaceable) Both are 4x weak to Fire so that will certainly have to be addressed. My guess is that this has to be a rain team, but initially, some other team members I was thinking of: - a physically offensive Tyranitar and Garchomp (if they make sense), maybe with a bulky Rotom-Wash Would it be better to just run these two as the core of a rain team instead, though? I'd greatly appreciate any pointers! The move sets and hold items on Ferrothorn and Scizor are also open to change.

I hope this becomes a reality. Would be fantastic to be able to browse (not necessarily buy/sell) what's on the market without having to go into the game
