PokemonGo PVP is Out!

Here is our first hand experience of PVP on PokemonGo!


Now you can have option to Train with the Trainer to get a feel how PVP works. Doing so will earn you the long lost badges of ACE trainer. Do note each training will only gain you 1 point but the good news is that your Pokemon wont need any item to heal them.


If you are challenging a real player you have 2 choices.

1. Scan QR code for those with you personally. The QR code will expire after a period of time.
2. Go to your friend list and if they are online (only for Ultra and Best Friends status), you can invite them for battle. It is entirely up to them to accept or not.


Then you are given 3 league to fight. Do note the limit is CP. So if there are Legendary Pokemon with low CP, you may see them in those battle.

So if you want to major in the lowest CP league then make sure you keep your useful Pokemon on those CP level and not evolve or power them up.

You are given some time then to choose 3 Pokemon. My advise is always think about what your opponent maybe using and choose those that counter their Pokemon.

The battle system is very straight forward. You choose 3 of your Pokemon and fight. Unlike Raid or battle in Gym, you cannot "avoid" attack by swiping left or right. So you can forget about dancing.


What count is you have to see what Pokemon is against you and is his attack is effective against you or is your attack effective against him.

When you are using your charging attack, you are given time to charge by pressing real fast to double your attack damage. If the opponent used the Shield, it basically nullify your attack. So plan your attack wisely.

If the attacker move is effective against you, you are given only 2 shield to block that attack. So use wisely especially you know their attack against you are effective.
 

If you win, you will get plus 1 point of the League badges depending which league you were playing along with some stardust.

This really is fun as now you can battle your friends in real time. However this also would distract you from Raid, battle in Gym or capturing Pokemon. So look out for those invitation as if you are online, your friends would know by seeing the ability to send invite to you to battle.

I would share more if I discover more over the days!

What SD card should I get for Nintendo Switch

When one got a Nintendo Switch which already have 32 GB on board, one would be looking for SD card to expand the memory.

If you are looking into that, you need to know at least what type of SD card  is good enough for you to use on it.


Officially Nintendo recommend to have any SD card that has UHS-1-compatible and that have a transfer speed between 60 and 95 MB/sec. That basically mean your SD card should be at least Class 10. Also Nintendo Switch will support up to 2TB MicroSDXC cards.

PS: As of now in Dec 2018 there are no 1TB MicroSD card yet. The biggest on the market is only 512GB till date. 

Depend on your budgets and also as time goes on SD card would be dropping pricing of the same capacity over time.

What I purchased was a Samsung EVO 64GB micro SD SDXC Class 10 UHS U3 Memory Card 100MB/s. This SD card suppose to have up to 100MB/s Transfer speed with Class 10 and U3 compatibility which is more than enough for speed transfer that Nintendo recommend.

Having a 64GB would take some time to fill it up as Nintendo don't play music nor allow video watching. So it would more on screenshots, game saved or games. Of course if your budget is higher you can go for the 128GB / 256GB / 512GB. For me is the economy of prices and capacity.


Hopefully this would give you some rough guide on what SD card to get. What Brand you want  totally your choice but just make sure it is original and from company that actually made memory card you should be fine.

If you find this useful, share it and like it! Thanks!

How to mute voice chat in Fortnite on Nintendo Switch

If you ever playing Fortnite on Nintendo Switch, one of the most irritating moment would be having someone on their mic and kept shouting.

In normal circumstances on PC, we can move the mouse to the team member name and click on the speaker icon to mute it. But on Nintendo, it need another solution.

So here is how it can be done.
1. While you are in game press - button
2. The screen would list out a group of name. Go under the nick name of the one that you find irritating and press X.


3. You would instantly silent him off.
