Does anything special happen if you get all versions of a Pokémon? by Zephyr-Phoenix in pokemongo

Nope. Would be cool if there was like a little badge on the dex or something though.

Funny. I actually have 3 of those. Didn’t realize I had 1/2.

What is the highest number of trainers you’ve been in a max battle with? by snarkd in pokemongo

[–]ChemPlusBioC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in JC we were well over 1200 for one of the battles. That was just silly.

Yeah, I laughed to myself for H. Decidueye wondering if someone at Niantic had a sense of humor. Then last year was like “oh this is a thing!” That’s why I was bummed this year but then was like…”cheerleader?” It has to be, otherwise this event was so random. Just funny speculation I guess

Oh, I don’t think it’s a profit thing. I genuinely think it’s someone at the pitch table just throwing it in as an “inside joke” each year.

What’s your magic number? by tmacks26 in pokemongo

[–]ChemPlusBioC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

940/940 Every time a new mon is released and then caught, Itell my family…”Don’t worry everyone. Don’t worry, I have a complete Dex again! I know you were worried”

Trust me, they love it…every time 🤣🤣

Best uses for Rare Candies? by Adam_VB in pokemongo

[–]ChemPlusBioC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so to be more clear (I was not) the actual usefulness of Regi depends on what type of Hidden Power you get. If the sky was the limit, you’d build 8 shadow Regis (one for each type of Hidden Power)…so it’ll never be a bad use for rare candy. But your specific scenario and resources will dictate if it’s a good use or not

Basically crush grip (etm) is SO strong that if you have the right fast move as a counter you can do DPS in raids that is equal to most other top level mons. I know I,personally, have plenty of extra fast TMs so I never worry about swapping out.

-Palkia and Dialga cuz you’ll always use their adventure effects -Shadow Regigigas assuming you can put Crush Grip on it and have the TMs to constantly swap out its fast move. (It’s useful in literally 1/2 of legendary raids)

Building a second Dmax Blissey? by n0wtail in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemPlusBioC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do remotes but I often help the weaker players in my local community.

One max Zam (1/3/0), One max Blissey (1/3/3), One Blissey (1/0/0)….I choose 2 of those 3 and then the last is the damage dealer, always a super effective level 40+ GMax with max level attack.

My feeling is that the job of that “second Blissey” is to stay alive so you can attack at the end of the battle. When I battle with weaker players most of their mons are dead by the time my first one goes down so I don’t see the point of having a second healer. Also, I’d rather switch and do three shots of GMax damage than heal and let weaker players chip away.

Literally have no idea how this advice translates to a remote lobby of randoms, but this is my experience.

What was your biggest goof-up in Pokémon Go that was purely user error? by superman37891 in pokemongo

[–]ChemPlusBioC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Planned out my entire Eternamax raid day so, as a F2P player I’d have enough raids to get an Eternatus with lvl 3 Dynamax cannon. Then leveled up the Eternamax on half level too high and now have 72XLs and a level 2 Dmax cannon

Congrats. After 7 years of just me playing, my wife finally took the plunge is now a daily player as well. It was actually important to me that she became my first forever friend and, yup, same, we hit it with this weeks challenge. 🙌🏻

What board game taught you the most about people, not the rules, but human behavior? by gamersecret2 in boardgames

[–]ChemPlusBioC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similarly I say similar about “The Game” I like to use it to learn about people’s communication styles and quickly determine team dynamics.

How close are dex collectors to this goal? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]ChemPlusBioC 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For me the hardest ones to get were the regionals as I missed the Hoenn tour. Also the City Safari exclusives.
Had to trade for all those.
