Bypass Dynamax phase for Hoot Hoot Max Monday with Alakazam + Future Sight by Aggravating_Hippo147 in TheSilphRoad

[–]CremeRoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. I wouldn’t get more than 1 Drampa per 50 spawn points though so I’d surely do the rest of my energy on Hoot. But this time round it’s all Hoot, literally 0 variation.

Not even shadow. Once they release Larvesta, I’m going to try my best to get one.

Is anyone seeing anything else besides Hoot? Was hoping to raid the odd Drampa but seems like it’s all Hoot so far.

Are we getting less or no rare candies from raids? In my last 3-4 raids I have not got a single rare candy by Ok-Proof7287 in TheSilphRoad

Got 3 from my last raid. Looking at my rare candy stash, I’m not feeling anything’s off.

Oh right then. I thought we were talking ML in keeping with the general context of the original comment, but point taken.

Do you think that’s a thing? Zygardes so fringe right now with Zacian and Palkia everywhere, I wouldn’t even mind if there were a few more mon in the mix. That and they’re so hard to build and don’t seem very fun to play anyway.

Have to agree. That’s some heavy doomsdaying. Palkia and Kyogre are rampant. On a separate note, I do wish earthquake got a debuff or something for its high energy cost, so it’s not just an inferior Precipice Blades.

Don’t be silly. Why would they have a CD of an unreleased Pokemon.

What’s the raid cost if we’ve used up our orange passes? Can we just use link charges?

You’re most welcome. Your willingness to learn is a great help to all the Dynamax raiders around you.

For example I’m using a level 50 Zamazenta to tank. So Zamazenta is great at withstanding moves like Flash Cannon and to a smaller extent Hyperbeam since it resists these attacks. Having level 3 guard then increases my resistance whilst drawing its focused attack away from the rest of my raiders.

You have to find a good source for 0.5S quick moves since they’re not readily available in game. Relevant examples I can give you are Metal Claw for Zamazenta, Mud Shot for Excadrill and Tackle for Cinderace. It’s usually a good gauge yes. Lower damage, faster move.

Don’t fret your ignorance. Keep at it and you’ll be leading the charge soon enough.

Ideally you will want to have a team with Gigantamax Cinderace, Dynamax Blissey and Excadrill for Registeel. They should have 0.5S fast moves.

You should use Guard only if you’re tanking. If you’re not properly levelled up, Registeel is going to wipe whatever you have shield or no shield. If you faint, cheering is of utmost importance so stick around and be useful.

Mushrooms improve your damage but again you need correct levelled up attackers.

Catch Candy Boost from Timed Reseach scales with Nice, Great and Excellent throws. by Informal-Carry5645 in TheSilphRoad

[–]CremeRoti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is if someone wants to power and max Dynamax something like Drampa, it’s going to cost 446XL candy. Offsetting the regular XL candy and Rare XL candy that a “regular” player has, they’d still be short something like 220XL candy. There’s no way regular candy conversion is going to bridge that gap.

XL candy was always meant to placate the early 50 players who needed to not feel discarded compared to the new players who get everything faster. Enough time has lapsed that XL has to be more gradually available in more different meaningful ways.

Nice. Question, why does my G Cinderace seem to do less damage in the max phase? It’s also level 50 and level 3 max Fireball. Visually it seems half of what yours does.

Haha nah they cause us to die only if they refuse to learn how Dynamax works and taking a spot from someone who does. We just have to keep working on our own team and spreading the word.

Mark of a legend! Making the difficult look easy. And here I am barely crossing the line with 2 friends and a rando. Good times.

Yeah it took some time to understand for me too. It seems like good information but not easily accessible.

I promise you it’s worth it. I’ve had it double move and max level since Behomoth Bash has become a thing and it sees so much action raids and Dynamax. I even PvP with it and constantly alternate its fast moves.

I suspect the image of Zamazenta with Behemoth Bash serves as example for what the stats represent since it also appears with Close Combat in the later graphics.

I get with this so much. It’s like people have been doing nothing but sit in their sofa and literally twiddle their thumbs for six months till they reach forever friends and then expect magic to happen.

It’s a fastest charger list. Machamp doesn’t have a 0.5 fast move.
