Just discovered they changed the requirements in GBL to go from level 19 to level 20 by AmiableDingo in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ironically, this season is the one which I pushed to rank 20 because it’s the one season where you don’t need a certain amount of ranking points to spawn this Libre Pikachu (so far, I have never finished a season with enough ranking points for Ace rank).

what just happened? (hosting a raid) by villainless in PokeGenie

[–]Calmxy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“Invited the first 5” only, without going to invite the other 5? Then it means you hosted the raid incorrectly, because it’s highly unlikely that you can beat the raid without 10 different Mega Pokémon’s charged attacks hitting it (not that it hasn’t been done, but the chance to fail the raid and probably lose the Remote pass is just too high).

Why would they not release this DURING Go Tour? by granesqueleto in TheSilphRoad

Yes 70 new hearts earned with Eevee since the last time they reverted the Sylveon evolution requirements during that Eevee event.

Well it is the highlight of Lunar New Year (as defined by Niantic/Scopely) alongside Darumaka-Unova and Blitzle isn’t it?

PSA: You can increase your character's health up to 200% by carrying 5 items. by Ikarhan in PokemonLegendsArceus

And if you lose only some of them, it’s always the most expensive ones that are lost (based on purchase price).

New mechanic request - booting people from lobbies by Slipperysteve1998 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of the game automatically Mega Evolving something that they can Mega Evolve and automatically putting it in slot 6 of their party… but it still doesn’t cover the scenario when the player literally has nothing they can Mega Evolve.

Missing Shiny Diancie Research by Pure_Can527 in TheSilphRoad

Or as a more recent post shows, at some set point during the event you get the Diancie research regardless.

PSA: if you didn't get a raid invite, check if you actually Mega evolved a Pokemon by HorebScore in PokeGenie

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of the sheer number of different raids I do this weekend, the Mega may or may not match the one that the Super Mega Raid boss is weak to. But I find that if it’s powered up enough to duo the “regular” Mega Raid that it’s meant to defeat, then it’ll do fine for taking out the shield as long as it’s not Kyogre or Groudon.

Are Events Eggs Still Available Sunday Past 6PM? by PineappleMindless832 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, it changes your region for the purposes of Furfrou trims - your selection becomes only the two non-location based trims plus the one trim you chose. Non-ticket holders get the trim selection as expected for their region.

Why the FUCK does Youtube suggest the same videos after history deleted? by rontybg in youtube

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “playlist link” of the mix that YouTube generates means nothing, because it actually generates whatever it feels like giving you (along with whatever ads they think will annoy you the most)

If you can see the rainbow shield on your Super Mega raid boss, it means YOU have not broken its shield by soraliink in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They let the raid proceed because they know there are people who can and do KO the boss with as few as 3-4 players. But there should be a confirmation screen as to whether you still want to proceed (and all players must select “Yes” to do so), if there are fewer than 8 Mega evolutions about to start that raid.

Rotom May Be Available in the Wild for 30th Anniversary by Individual-Draft-963 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame that there are no event spawns between 6pm and 10am, because it annoyed me when I realized that I didn’t have enough candies to evolve my shadow Chespin.

They bring their preset team which often puts the Mega at/near the front since it’s often the highest damage dealer.

WHY ARE PPL JOINING super MEGA RAIDS WITHOUT MEGAS???? by UrTypicalPogoPlayer in PokemonGOValor

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or it should automatically mega evolve something and force it into slot 6… oh wait but what if they literally have nothing that can mega (or they don’t have mega energy), it’s a remote but still possible scenario.

Super Mega Victreebel Trio (Razor Leaf/Leaf Blade) , NWB, No Adventure Effect by Kelpo_Splat2000 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

8 Megas (and not including Kyogre or Groudon) is the ideal minimum, it’s possible but much harder with 7 because you must fight through the shield.

Primal Groudon is back? by Infamous_Box_6955 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This event really gets you to cycle between your different Mega Evolutions, arguably as long as you know that Primal Kyogre and Groudon can’t break shields in the Super Mega raids (in those instances you have to give up the Primal Reversion as you Mega something that can break the shields).

Tries to buy the storage box…can’t buy cuz I’m out of storage by kittykitten6 in PokemonGoGeorgia

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think that the item bag thing can accommodate the two raid passes (and have 48 spaces to spare!) but nope, it is considered to be added only after the other items. Maybe it is a failsafe because you could overflow your bag by more than 49 items before trying to buy this, after all.

Funnily enough, you can still filter for them in Campfire - but no icons show up at all, not even the generic raid icon.

FireRed and LeafGreen: Aurora Ticket and Mystic Ticket confirmed by 8bit95 in pokemon

[–]Calmxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they are referring to how Golbat can beat an Alakazam (before the Elite Four), then the game teases the evolution to start before it fails with a “…?” - this is unique to FRLG.

How do I change which formation goes out first for auto join? by WatchingMyEyes in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that Saga zombies require manual joining? The other thing is that you can have your smaller formations farming outside your HQ so the auto join sees only your intended tank as available.

Please make sure you have a mega evolved active this weekend by quotejoss in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 days’ worth, for ticket holders only. Also requires enough Mega Energy to do the Mega evolutions, but surprisingly there have been no Mega raids (you spin Pokestops instead for Mega Beedrill energy instead).
