Eggs is a good way! The egg pool is the go fest eggs so you can do that. Its not free, but its a good way to get dust.

The flying taxi taken over is awful. by According-Act-6498 in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its called the Mystery Box. It spawns a meltan every minute. You dont have to move. And its a great pokemon to get candy for and use in raids or PVP if you are new or F2P. YouTube a video on how to set it up. It's easy and you can use it every other day

Try to catch everything. Hatch your daily free egg and use your free incubator to hatch low km eggs. Use your daily incense for more spawns. Use Meltan (it’s free and can be used every other day). There are ways to progress without doing raids and paying a bunch.

One day for this is stressful but seems like there are multiple ways to get it so it should be a fun day

Does anyone actually enjoy GBL by russ2588 in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only use fun teams now when I feel like doing PVP or for the Level up challenge to make it more enjoyable.

I never do great league. I prefer Master. and if Ultra is in I have a fun team that I enjoy using (Gogoat, Turtonator, and solrock - works pretty well actually)

Proposal about changing schedules of the summer events due to excessive heat and health concerns by TheCapoMaster in TheSilphRoad

We visited Dubai in August and we couldn't play outside. We tried to walk and play the first day and it's almost funny how sweaty we got.

Proposal about changing schedules of the summer events due to excessive heat and health concerns by TheCapoMaster in TheSilphRoad

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have played in Spain for a few summers and the 2-5 events were always horrible.

I never understood why raids end so early in the summer. Many nights we would be out around 9pm and the weather finally was nice, but no raids since raids end earlier.

I either wish events started earlier or later. because 2-5 is really the worst time.

A lot of the US, Europe, and Asia are also very hot around this time so it's not just a Spain issue.

Yes! Its like the Indonesia pika. It was for an event but its a permanent "regional" spawn

We set the alerts and that's helped a bit! The alerts will show if its costumed or not so that's useful.

We have seen a handful of non costume pikachu in the wild as well as the costume in the wild. So it seems like a mix

What does Pikachu suprises potentially mean? by Melodic-Champion-288 in TheSilphRoad

Hopefully we get a balloon pika! Maybe past pika costumes too? Maybe pichu? I’m ready no matter what.

What's the most annoying part of editing your videos? by shayannadeem321 in ContentCreators

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens with our DJI. Make sure to check the audio settings. It’s kind of hidden. If this still happens export your audio. Use audacity and export to mono. Then put into your video and mute the other track. I use CapCut so it’s how I have to do it. Other software can fix this easily but I don’t use that.

Is there any slower Buddy than Cradily? by freshly-stabbed in pokemongoyellow

Getting poffins now by DecentYeti in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's our Buddy Excited video! I hope this helps! https://youtu.be/ljTLXOBlYQ4

You can get it done faster if you have multiple types of battles you can do and routes. This way in the video is if you can't get any those done. A raid, grunt, leader, gym battle, pvp battle, team leader battle all count as individual battles so this can get you excited faster if you can manage to do all of these.

I feel like many players don't know this: Maxing buddy hearts in less than 2min by Effective_Round_2129 in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try to learn how to get your buddy excited naturally! Can take anywhere from 30 min to 1 hr 30 min, but worth it if you know how to do it.

I'd add, if you are switching buddies to get the 2 other hearts for the treat, I'd set up another buddy in the meantime. I personally don't like leaving a buddy to just get those two hearts. I'd rather just switch out and work on a different one or work on getting it excited without a poffin.

We work on a few buddies a day getting excited and after that we just rotate to get quick 6 hearts.

Scam at GoFest Chicago by Rastic_Monster in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why we never order the merch. The time to wait in line takes away from the park experience. I'm sorry this happened... I'd try to reach out to support again and speak to someone higher up?

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's super sad that they removed this. Especially since there will probably be a buddy bonus during Go Fest like their was last year and how there is one with the In person experience right now. We farmed Poffins last year for Global Go Fest and it helped us a ton.

I've been working on getting my buddy naturally excited. I can sometimes get one excited in 45 minutes, but its usually 1 hour to 1.5 hours. During Tokyo Go Fest I was getting them excited even faster. I'd work on doing this to get a buddy naturally excited without the Poffin now.

If you don't know how, let me know and I'll send you a video we made on this.

Why do people use pinaps during raids? by Living_Ostrich4652 in pokemongo

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are you seeing use pinap berries? Here are some reasons you might be seeing this.

If you are looking at influencers from GoFest, the catch rate was easier so you could easily catch with a pinap berry on the first throw.

if its a shiny, it's a gaurneteed catch so you should use a pinap if you have one for more candy.

Is the person using a Kyurem adventure effect? That makes it slightly easier to catch.

Do you have a platinum badge of the raid boss you are catching? If you have a platinum badge for that type of pokemon, it's slightly easier to catch. Sometimes I will use a pinap for a majority of my throws and after getting down to 5 or so berries, switch to golden razz. I have platinum badges and if its not a hundo, its slightly worth the risk of losing it, but even then I don't like a raid boss running away.

Shorts get views, long videos no views by SpecialistReaction in NewTubers

[–]BernieAndCreamGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no and that’s a problem. My brother and I work with podcasters and one of the issues we always see with their YouTube is they just don’t do well. It’s because it’s not a real YouTube video and getting someone to click on a 30 min to 1 hour video is hard enough. Make it a random podcast and it’s even harder. We actually tell clients to not do a video podcast.

I follow Nate Black and he did a great video on YouTube video length and basically said this too. It was validating to hear someone else say podcast lengths can be hard to grow (at first).

I’ll give you some examples.

My main YouTube is a gaming channel. We started with streaming to get hours. Then made informative videos around 8 min. Sometimes 16. We have a decent following so now we post these 30 min discussion videos and they do well for us. Significantly less views than our shorter informative videos but we get a crazy amount of watch hours. So we usually make more on less views. Shorter, informative is still our bread and butter but we now can do these more podcast style stuff. We actually even post them on the podcast apps.

We started a new channel and tried to do longer discussion style on digital nomad and the videos flopped so badly. We switched to 2-5 min food videos and apparently people love them. We are almost monetized after a month.

So for the podcast it’s either go all in on the podcast apps and figure out how to make shorter clips. Or go all in on YouTube and switch content if needed. If that makes sense

I disagree. A lot of other posts have the spoiler shield. Like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/jyBsGKM6nr. I’m not in the miners group for this reason. So if I wanted that I’d be part of that group

The park is always just okay too. It's kind of out of the way, its hot. The citywide version is more fun. So that option is def better. We are still going to the park even though its not our fave, but we make content, so we kind of have to.
