"Idea: Buddy Campaigns"

#PokemonGO: The meta is defined by a handful of Pokemon that maintain their top spots with high CPs, great movesets and IVs. It gives you something to strive for. "I need a good T-tar with Smackdown, then I'll be great!" But what if there were an alternative path to strive for?Buddy CampaignsBuddy campaigns offers your partner a shot at the meta. Through a long and arduous campaign you train with your chosen buddy to increase their max CP to meta heights.Tasks could include:Take down X gyms with your BuddyTake down X raidsWalk X kilometresCatch X PokemonCatch a/X Legendary(ies)Hatch X eggsThis offers a way to shake up the meta or have dark horses that require more effort for a large pay-off. Maybe you caught a 100% mid pack Pokemon, you now have the opportunity to help them ascend to the top. Maybe you just like such and such a Pokemon and want them to be relevant. I think this could be a neat way to do that.Edit to address power creep mentioned in comments: There is a defined ceiling relative to those exact Pokemon (Tyranitar, Blissey, etc). The best released becomes the best ceiling. If Ttar and Blissey are at the top, they are un-trainable and you get to know they're already the best out of the package. When a new ceiling is released, above Ttar and Blissey, you no longer have to leave them in the dust either!Edit: Table for clarity of the increases. Numbers given a ~35% increase (can be adjusted, certainly won't be 35% for every Pokemon) to keep most Fire Legendary stats above so they can keep their prestige.NinetalesMax CP: 2184Atk: 169Def: 204Stam: 146HP: 125Ninetales after Buddy Campaign CompletionMax CP: 2945Atk: 228Def: 275Stam: 197HP: 169 via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2L5BH08
