Why make all the quick moves so slow?

Submit Feedback or Error

Looking at the updated move duration, none of the quick moves are faster than 900ms. This makes dodging exponentially more difficult, especially when prestiging. The only thing this does is make the already stagnant gyms even harder to take down.

Yep my dragonite can't even penetrate 1 snorlax.

Guess i catch another dratini and hope for dragonite with dragon tail and outrage D:

Dragon Tail is even slower according to theSilphRoad. There's literally no good attacking quick moves in the game right now.

So dragon breath and dragon claw still the best move for dragonite right now? Wow, dragonites got nerfed to become an attacker but fuckin' buffed to become a defender? Well i can't really complain that much.

Dunno, I tried prestiging a gym shortly after th release and it was brutal, tossed it off as lag, but this may explain some of it.

Just hoping it's just a slow gym thing and it'll get better as they upgrade their servers or something

If it makes you feel any better, attacking other teams' gyms is harder now too.

Granted, not as big of a change as prestiging, but still very noticeable.

I think this is the quite balance for defender ones. Maybe it will make a fair battle in gym

So that's why i got hit with so many hydro pumps this morning. It makes jolteons much less good against vaporeon and gyarados...
On the other hand, I'd like gyms to be harder to take, level 10s don't make it 24 hours here

This is a strategy for the ones who just take lowest take in gyms for coin only. Hope for now on, there are great pokemon which credible to defend a gym !
P/S: Im exciting about this change

Same. Frustrating putting so much time and effort into a gym and then waking up the next morning having to revive all your defenders and do it all over again...

People always complain about gym stagnation. Meanwhile, I didn't even know that was a thing. I'd love if a couple of my gyms stagnated every now and then

I'm with you nugjuice! Although I can now claim 10 coins for my Exeggutor in a gym near my work for a third day. If I get them, 3 days in one gym will be my new PB.

It's definitely gonna be interesting to see what effect this all has on the gym meta.

Yeah, it will be for sure. At least for the time being, it looks like it will make gyms more "stagnant" (or "stable" as we might prefer to call it lol)

TBH so far I like it. Anything that helps slow down people taking down opposing gyms. It was kind of stupid that I could take down a lvl 10 gym solo in 40 min without breaking a sweat
