Niantic is really disappointing

She's a defensive beast. Which pretty much means that she'll be useless in Go sadly. I'll do some raids, maybe get a good IV and be set. If she could be shiny then interest may be higher.

It's... a Legendary Pokémon, so you have a really good chance to get lots of great drops like TM's and Rare Candies?

It looks cute?

It... might be a decent Gym Defender if Niantic ever realizes that putting a Legendary in a Gym is not going to break the meta?

It's a Dex Entry?

I dunno. I'm actually kind of happy about this because it's winter, it's hard to get out and raid, and this won't motivate me to find a way to make sure my phone stays warm for the 7min of Raid + Catch. And I can do Christmas shopping instead of Raiding!

Win-Win?

That Pokedex won't fill itself.

You are better off buying a trash can than raiding anything at this point.

Gotta raid something.

As we say in my country. Life would be a lot less exciting if life always is the top of the candy bowl.

For the drops.... it’s a mildly interesting short man.... The Dex entry....A chance to hang out and talk with other trainers.... It’s definitely been a disappointing start to Gen 4, and a mind boggling lame current raid lineup from top to bottom....

Not really. Cresslia is awful offensively- someone on TSR mentioned Smoochum has higher base attack. While Cresselia is a defensive beast, you might as well use Lugia which has at least reasonable attack, more bulk, and also double resists fighting (for Machamp solos). Cresselia does have access to Confusion which is better than Extrasensory, but this doesn't hardly dig it out of it's hole.

not really . i was going to try just because i find myself with 40+ raid passes. i've boughten a couple of the boxes in the past month or so to get incubators and obviously there were raid passes in them.
we did one Cressilia. and nobody wanted to do the 2nd. it's one of those pokemon that you could get a 100%.. and it doesn't matter. you'll never use it. It's just strictly a pokedex entry.
