"Win 3 Great League Trainer Battles"

[melannen]

I just started playing again after several months' hiatus due to my phone not taking an update, and I'm trying to catch up on Special Research.

I'm stuck on "Win 3 Great League Trainer Battles Against Another Trainer" in the "A Professor's Work Is Never Done" quest - I had left it before because I am REALLY BAD at trainer battles and had been avoiding them, but I just bashed at it all afternoon and finally won 4/5 in a Go Battle League round, but I didn't get any progress on the research task - does GBL not count for that research task? If not, how do I do it without having to leave the house?

I poked around the internet and it seemed to say it should work? Except maybe there's a bug?

ETA: It seemed to be because the February Go Battle League was Kanto-only; once March loaded with normal Great League, it worked (...and was much harder to win...) so I have the accomplishment!

That might be the one where you have to fight someone from your friend list?

Do you need someone to get in a trainer battle and deliberately lose against you? If you want that, PM me with a Discord code and I don't remember if we're already pokefriends, but if we aren't, PM me with your friends code.

Huh, that should have worked, assuming the Go Battle League we'd Great League. If not, depending on your time zone, maybe we can arrange something for you to get your victories?
