PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Can I Catch This Pokémon?

bobandbill, Apr 2020: Yeah, it's yet to be sighted. It might be available from the updates coming later for the DLC/Expansion Pass (ergo, you won't need Expansion Pass to transfer it, but you would to catch it in the wild), but that remains to be seen.

Dynamax Blissey

ShyRayq, May 2020: Well, at max HP IVs, EVS and max Dynamax Level, I think Blissey would have 1428 HP. Pretty crazy. But you can already hit over 1000 HP with a HP base stat as low as 150. So stuff like Snorlax can hit 1000 HP pretty easily.

Joey Montag, May 2020: The one I happened to get was Arctozolt and I think that's my least favorite but I haven't warmed up to any of them yet (maybe later). My feeling right now is gen 8 has too many awesome Pokemon to pay attention to these poor tortured souls.
