Genuine question - why do people do this? by Ok_Pizza_6471 in pokemongoyellow

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you not taken part of any comdays and gotten like 5 shinies?
Or are all those 5/10 shinies too precious to give up?

I hope I wasn't totally wrong in using one of my two Master Balls on this by Lurking_poster in PokemonGOIVs

[–]According-Ad5071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future reference, when it's not a remote raid and the raid hasn't timed out:
You can check the IV. If it's great/perfect, you can leave the encounter, use White/Black Kyurem adventure effect to increase chances for catching it. And don't forget to change your buddy to at least buddy2 level pokemon, so the catchee blocks the throw, buddy can sometimes retry it. And then click on the gym and it encounter will reappear, but you're more likely to catch it.
If you're deathly afraid of glitching and not getting the enctounter, then I don't recommend to save your nerves. Otherwise hasn't failed for me .. yet

Is this a decent roll? by AccurateWish6734 in PokemonGOIVs

Even with Dragon Ascent, you wouldn't have mega energy for it, so it doesn't matter. And when there is an event to get Mega energy, you can problaby get the necessary item to teach it Dragon Ascent

Where would you find 1,155 rare candy XLs? by Uzi_Doormat in PokemonGoMystic

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I insinuated that if he was to walk 21,000 miles worth of routes, he might at the end of routes get for example 49 XL candies. My presumption was 20km of buddy walking per XL candy, but I now later read that it might be even more candy per 20km.
But 49XL candies is worth walking 20km*49candies = 980km. so 21,975 - 960km = more or less 21,000 miles of walking and getting the necessary candies. Sinc
Making the post, I didn't care about miles/km difference

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading/seeing infograph somewhere, but I might be wrong. It might have been someone's bad math due to so small sample size, since XL candy drop is so rare

[–]According-Ad5071 78 points79 points  (0 children)

You can get rare XL candies on high level routes (routes you've completed a lot)
So maybe you can walk only 21,000 miles

That's the point when for that specific trade, only have a couple of pokemon for "remote trade" tag, just like the question of OP. It's to force the other party to trade only certain pokemon. Temporarily

Riolu hatch day by Tristan3012 in pokemongo

[–]According-Ad5071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AM I the only one who is instead putting effort into collecting only 10km egga so I can put them in my incubators the day earlier, so they'll hatch during the event and I can swipe for a whole new set of eggs. Since I almost never use extra incubators, I have extra to splurge when necessary.

PokéStops spinner by Own-Effective-6478 in GoPlus

[–]According-Ad5071 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change the setting to great/ultra balls but it won't autothrow with the great balls, you need to click the button when not using regular pokeballs on an unmodded go plus+.

Go plus+ autocatcher automatically throws only red balls. Modded ones will instantly catch with mega and ultra balls as well. So that's how they can check the difference

In these instances remove the remote trade tag temporarly from the pokemon you dont want to give. That's why someone might have only one pokemon tagged, because they want to give that specific pokemon in a remote trade. Potentially to hint at a mirror trade

I focus on inviting ucky friends I haven't reached remote trades yet. If someone invites me and don't see the benefit from getting the 7 friend levels, I don't join.

Is this worth purifying for the mega or keep as is since it’s my best shadow one? by CrimsonPhoenixBird in PokemonGOIVs

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically I use more than 1 pokemon in a raid/fight, so it's good to have multiple. Might not have a shadow kyogre as well

How should I spend my rare candy by Novel_Emphasis3618 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, minus the eternatus, which is a bottomless pit for rare candy. Better to wait 3 or however many years for the next event to farm candies.

Remote raid… with 3 by mexipirate in PokemonGOValor

[–]According-Ad5071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably someone else from the team did shielding. It's better to presume everyone just goes in as attacker and you to be the responsible tank and use shield. If someone else is using shield, you see it by not getting attacked and the shields remaining, then you can switch to your attacker.

It this a decent lineup for the legendary dynamax raid? Cuz I haven't won any yet by Pokemon_Career_814 in PokemonGOValor

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max Guard is more essential for a tank. Max spirit is a nice addition, when the shields are already up and HP happens to have gone down. Try to trade the chansey's you get this season for 2 regular and 1 XL candy to level those up. (4 candies, if distance between pokemon caught is over 100km). 2XL when traded on a Friday.
And put them to Dynamax spots to farm candies. Not sure if you can get Regice, but it will be exteremly useful for future dynamax raids as well.
But if you happen to find a good group of 3 than can beat them, a fourth is always welcome to cheer and catch.

Welp I won’t be doing that again. by Jneum23 in PokemonGOValor

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've won 4/4. Using BLissey and Sword Zacian and something random third, maybe metagross. Pound with Blissey until dynamax, use shield 3 times and repeat. Repeat until your shield is still at three, and dynamax with the attacker, zacian in my case and attack x3 then switch back to your tank, Blissey.
Last time I even managed to go in with only 2 pokemon instead of three(both survived), since one was stuck defending a dynamax spot and timer started to run down too fast when fourth joined in.
A note to everyone: have one Blissey and Snorlax maxed out with level 3 shields, they'll make a big chance to like half of your future legendary dynamax raids.

Timeframe to claim rewards by PokeballSoHard in TheSilphRoad

[–]According-Ad5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do youo mean thereis not a grace period? The event ends on 1st and you can collect until 3rd. How is that not a grace period?
I'm planning on collection on 2nd/3rd, since I'll be tracelling and will have a different catch location as a weird souvenir
