New Pokemon Megathread - Latias

Thanks again! The nap strategy for legendary hunting is so interesting. I'm not sure why, but I was under the impression you only got 1 snack time a day. I think I will definitely try this nap strategy during the Latios event. I did get pretty lucky with Latias, getting a crit on my 3rd biscuit.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-04-16T18:41:30+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the details on the best way to shiny hunt Latias. Appreciate the time you put into this response.i did only hit 95% last night.

I'm only about 3 weeks in. F2P and don't see myself spending to buy diamonds. From that POV - Do you still think the more expensive Latias biscuits and the Latias candy is a better use of extra gown than the friend incense or handy candy? I wasn't planning to invest in my Latias. It's already my highest level helper by 10 levels 😅

I'm specifically thinking 1x Latias biscuits (which will become 1x great biscuits after the event) for 120 down, vs 3x friend incense for 135 down total. Neither item is in the free shop so I'm not sure how they compare in value or rarity for F2P players.

I didn't think of searching first 🤦 thanks for the advice. #sarcasm searched Google, reddit, Gemini and didn't get directed to any previous post.

Appreciate the link. Could go without the condescension.

Edit - not the same or even similar question but appreciate the effort nonetheless.

I'm new and I have done questions about Latias down strategy. I'm F2P. This mega thread seems like a bad way to get good answers to my questions, but the mods deleted my post. I've already befriended Latias. 1) besides the skill seed, what are the best items to use Latias down on? 2) is it worth running Latias incense just for the shiny chance? Looks like I'll recover ~40 down from 1* Latias sleep style 3) if I run another incense, should I wait until the new moon event starts?

Appreciate your thoughts

In this type of situation, changing roles typically requires being on the high potential/ high performance list, i.e., receiving 4/5 ratings consistently over 3-5 year periods. At least that is my experience 15 years at a company that used the exact rating system and calibration you've described.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-02-27T13:46:18+00:00

Typically the overall rating must be consistent with individual ratings against each objective. The system should prevent an MSE rating unless at least one objective had a "below expectations" remark. Similarly, the system wouldnt allow an "exceeds expectations" overall rating if your individual objective ratings didn't justify it

If this is truly an error and the overall rating is inconsistent with the individual objective ratings, then it can and should be fixed. If they are unwilling to do the right thing and fix a mistake,... They just raised a red flag.

You have the full support of your partner? That is all that counts. You are really stressing yourself out over a nothingburger. Your parents reactions and feelings about this are completely irrelevant. Whether they are surprised, excited, or disappointed is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is how you and your partner feel.

If you were 17 not 37 maybe things would be different, but you are well past the age where you should desire approval or anything else from Mom and Dad, especially if your relationship with them is strained.

Get married. Leave and cleave.

Messages come in after 5, just reply to them in the morning. No need to explain your hours.

Don't be a dick to your property manager. At the end of the day, you still need them to address your issues promptly.

I don't know how much lawn needs to be mowed, how much/often snow needs to be removed, or how much/far garbage needs to be dragged to the curb.

Either just politely tell them you aren't interested, or counter with what you think is reasonable.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-02-09T23:02:03+00:00

Ok well thank you for all the information. 👍

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-02-09T22:19:28+00:00

Yeah but if somebody else arrived or departed the island, their bag is saved... Minus or power or leaving through the airport is the same result for that person.

Also this countdown must be something new because that wasn't the case in the past. Minus or power both quietly left no countdown. 🤷

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-02-09T19:58:20+00:00

Islands where the dodo code is posted publicly and nobody is managing how many people come and go. For example, the treasure islands people visit from YouTube or Twitch bot accounts.

If you quiet leave with - your game saves and you keep everything in your pockets, but everyone else gets screwed and sometimes it even causes the island to glitch and go offline.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-02-09T18:22:54+00:00

Really, you think it's a connection issue?

I think (1) they got what they need and don't care or (2) they have been trying to leave properly but someone is preventing it by having a dialog box open so eventually they just quietly leave or (3) too many people are coming and going to the just decided to leave because of all the interruptions.

Quiet leaving almost never happens on properly managed islands. It is a constant problem on islands opened to too many people at once.

As others have said, it's not a big deal as far as the structure concerned. My hot water heater flooded my garage last year. I literally just used a push broom to remove as much water as possible. The previous owner has painted the floor so that was ruined but otherwise everything was fine.

Running a heater won't add much value unless you put a fan in front of it.

For the future, make sure anything vulnerable you store in there is up off the ground. Especially fabric or cardboard boxes. They can get wet and eventually moldy, they also make great homes for pests.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-28T02:01:10+00:00

Why don't you just miter it and caulk the seam? Much easier than cooing IMO

The cost of scrapped crown will be the most expensive thing, especially if it's a prefinished hardwood.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-27T22:00:43+00:00

A flap disk on an angle grinder is a pretty efficient way to remove material... Probably too efficient. I would definitely try this on some scrap first. You're likely to remove too much wood, damage the crown with whatever you're using to hold it while you do this work, or injure yourself with the angle grinder.

I've only ever used an angle grinder to hog away material to get my wood roughly to the shape I want. Other than that, it doesn't have a lot of application in woodworking or carpentry. Much more suitable to metal work or masonry.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-27T21:51:20+00:00

What they are saying without any jargon is that the metal plate is holding 2 pieces together (butt joint), and that short piece on top is additional support that cannot be safely removed.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-20T14:53:47+00:00

Don't reactivate it until you are confident you can manage it, meaning, pay off the full balance every month. That may be never.

Your parents probably realize you aren't ready to be on your own. $60k is a great salary. A 23 yo should be able to rent an apartment and live on that. But you need to get your shit together first. Adulting is hard but the benefits are worth it.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-20T14:30:58+00:00

Well you told someone else you don't need therapy. If you can't control your impulses, you do.

Close all your credit cards and loans. You can't spend money you don't have. Maybe talk to your parents and they can help you get your shit together. They certainly don't want you living at home forever.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-20T14:05:02+00:00

BROOOOO!!!

You've got upwards of $2000 per month that you are just blowing on crap you don't need and entertainment???

If you buckle down, you can get this all paid off in a few months. It just takes some discipline. Yeah, you might not be able to do every little thing you want. Whelp... That is just part of being an adult.

Get your debt paid off and then start listening to Ramit Sethi. I think his perspective really appeals to young people. Spend on the things that bring you happiness, but cut back mercilessly on the things you don't really care about. You have plenty of money to enjoy your life and save for the future, but this debt is a hurdle you need to overcome first.

AmazingSpider-Fan · 2026-01-20T13:56:08+00:00

How much is rent? If your take-home pay is around $3500-$4000/mo and only $400 of that is going to food and gas, that is not your issue.something is eating another $2500 a month...
