"Power up your shiny squirtle if it makes you happy. The meta isn't anywhere near as important as people make it out to be."

#PokemonGO: I understand wanting to min/max everything but using a blastoise instead of a kyogre will have the same result 99% of the time.Meta only matters when you are trying to 2-4 man certain raids, an activity most people don't partake in. For everything else (regular raids and gym battles) you can use literally almost any pokemon.Power up your favorites if that makes the game fun for you. I see far too many people looking down on players who power up non-meta. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2zp2xij
