"[X-Post from /r/pokemongo] Combat is just dodge2win."

#PokemonGO: source: http://ift.tt/29GlCLo previous video was a bit short and I picked an unfortunate pokemon for demonstration purposes, see discussion.So here we go, a longer fight that shows how to attack any gym without even taking damage:https://youtu.be/HqSJhH6mVTQWhat this means: the only competitive gameplay aspect right now is not actually competitive, since the attacker has 100% win chance when using dodge. When you have only 1/3rd of the opponent's CP, it usually is enough to beat him in <99 seconds.This means:having strong pokemon is borderline useless.putting strong defenders in gyms doesn't matter.types do only matter if your attacking pokemon is FAR weaker than the defender.potions/revive are useless once you get the hang of dodging.players who started early may have higher CP pokemon, but again: doesn't matter really.an update to the combat mechanics is urgently needed, since this renders most of the game pointless, except the raw catching of pokemon.If you're still new to the game: you may also have a look at my blogpost for some tipps/tricks.And finally: yes, the game runs very smooth, I use an iPhone 6s+. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/29E9Y2W
