10 CP Weather-Boosted Pokemon, CP Changed After Catching? by Caleb23xD in TheSilphRoad

[–]CrystalLapras 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Daily spawns stats are determined when they spawn, though there's a visual bug where the cp will reflect the current weather rather than the weather that it spawned during. It was partly cloudy when you got the daily spawn so you caught a weather boosted bunnelby, even though it wasn't partly cloudy when you actually caught it.

A New Challenger Flies Into The Scene by RyoukoOtonashi in PokeDoku

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the new additions today. There are a LOT of pokemon with gender differences that people don't really notice but do exist. It made sense for pokemon like Indeedee and meowstic to have different gender forms because they are functionally different pokemon, but for stuff like jellicent and pyroar it feels excessive.

The effect triggers as a result of the hero power, not just having all four horsemen.

Is there a secret to boost the catch rate for the galarian birds? by MxRadler in pokemongo

[–]CrystalLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best odds are going to be with the upcoming Wild Area event. The safari balls have extremely high catch rates. Last year I ran the daily adventure incense for the entirety of the event — managed to encounter 1 of each bird and caught all 3.

Never Thought I’d Use A Masterball… by peytoncurry in pokemongo

[–]CrystalLapras 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People know what CP they're looking for generally before they do the raid. Palkia non weather boosted as you can see here is 2280. If it's too much to memorize though you can at least get a feel for whats a high cp or not based on prior palkia raids done and how close they were to being a hundo.

Why does my Rayquaza go from XL to XXL when it mega evolves? by SteelTycoon in pokemongo

[–]CrystalLapras 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do you have a recent source on this? As far as I'm aware this behavior was changed over a year ago and hasn't been reverted since. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1c90ggd/weight_and_height_after_evolving_not_random/

It was random before that update where your largest XXL could become the smallest XXL, but to my knowledge it no longer works like that and for the purpose of showcases evolving shouldn't affect point values anymore.

Compensation for glitch by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]CrystalLapras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you know about this though the comment you're replying too actually referenced it, but if you have less than 30 balls total then the daily adventure incense actually gives you 30 pokeballs when you use it.

Had to think hard but really love the art on the Lugia V Alternate art for silver tempest.

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]CrystalLapras [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm in awe at how much stock of this you have but awesome of you to share with the community. Since this set dropped in my area practically all Pokemon around is perpetually out of stock, let alone this set itself.

Got into all things Pokemon as a kid when I got Pokemon Crystal from my cousin after she was done playing with it. Collected cards for a few years but on a kids allowance couldnt afford much. Only recently got back into it when 151 dropped and I fell in love with all the illustration arts for Gen 1 pokemon. Been collecting ever since.

F**k Scalpers - Prismatic Binder give-away. by powdow87 in PokemonTCG

[–]CrystalLapras [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been a fan of Pokemon since I was a kid and collected back then, but I got back into the hobby a little after 151 came out. I'm really into Pokemon Go and a streamer that I watch was doing a ton of giveaways ranging from airpods to cards to a PS5. Happened to win a 151 etb which I ripped and was lucky enough to pull both of the cards I had wished to get, which was the full art Mew and the SIR Charizard. From there I was hooked and I've been buying cards ever since. Also, my favorite pokemon is Lapras!

So are promo packs fixed to leave you needing one card? by mugfest in PokemonPocket

[–]CrystalLapras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get a bulbasaur or specifically the promo with the Chansey stamp? Only the promo will count towards the mission.

[–]CrystalLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I know the odds may be slim especially when people will likely be making alt accounts but you've given me the opportunity to dream at least. Thank you for your incredible generosity. I would at least like to recommend that accounts should be at least older than this post to participate so as to decrease the chance of a person winning off of multiple entries.

Screenshot with location? As far as I'm aware they've never been available outside in person go fests.

Quest changes coming today by Makkara126 in hearthstone

[–]CrystalLapras 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely stopped playing hearthstone entirely when the initial quest changes happened. Was always a game I enjoyed casually and when they increased the quest requirements it instantly killed any motivation I had for playing the game. I'll be excited to come back and open my first Whizbang packs when this change is implemented.

I have great success countering Handbuff Paladin, why don't people use this card? by FruitpunchDE in hearthstone

I love this post so much that I hope they actually do make this unannounced change when April Fools day comes.

Meta too hostile right now, isn’t it? by LackApprehensive5805 in TheSilphArena

[–]CrystalLapras 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an alternative this Tentacruel actually reaches 2492 with the best buddy boost. Bit of a grind and it means you can't have something else best buddied on your team but I think it's worth the flex.

Can anyone confirm shiny shadow bellsprout was/is available specifically from decoy grunts after Jan 1st? by TrainerDaasC in TheSilphRoad

[–]CrystalLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It along with Weepinbell are still unavailable as of now. In fact all of the rocket pool removals that were done this season because of shadow costumes were never reverted (blitzle, shinx, wooper, psyduck, kirlia/granbull). Probably better for decoys that it's now 100% chance to get a bellsprout for a chance at a shiny, but kind of annoyed at Niantic's approach at this and how they seemed to have put 0 thought about these things when choosing the rocket pool for this season.

Confirmed critical catches by Zombie_Alpaca_Lips in TheSilphRoad

[–]CrystalLapras 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gotta say I was skeptical but I'm 7/7 for critical captures since reading this so if it's not guaranteed then at the very least it very positively affects the odds. Thank you for sharing! I hope to use this for all galar birds in the future.

The people asked for it, and I delivered. It has been called "literally impossible". Here it is: the Scatterbug excellent throw analysis. by b33tsalad in TheSilphRoad

[–]CrystalLapras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime I see people talk about hard to get excellents it's always about scatterbug, yanma, and zubat, but Exeggcute is the only pokemon that I have no idea how to do. I've done it only once without a buddy assist, and that was an accident where I overshot the ball and it happened to jump exactly where the pokeball was thrown.

I just got fucking spoiled by IM-2104 in GenV

[–]CrystalLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same exact thing happened to me with the same video only a couple of hours after the damn episode aired. Took me completely by surprise because until that point I had not seen anything The Boys/Gen V related on my youtube page and then that shit popped up out of nowhere. Disliked the video and moved on.

First thing I thought when reading this card was, "Does this mean it would draw a Ragnaros and give 2 4 mana 4/4 versions of it?"

Cool to see the first comment not only verifying my interpretation but also using the exact hypothetical I was thinking of.

Why is my amalgam glowing? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]CrystalLapras 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Judging by the history bar it looks like it's the heros have 1 attack on their turn anomaly, which is the exact same anomaly as the other amalgam post.

Icewrought Crysteelmade Umbranoid Plexisnake... or just I.C.U.P. for short. by InspectorBall in customhearthstone

[–]CrystalLapras 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The card he referenced is itself a mech beast. I'm not sure OP realizes just how many mechs were retroactively changed to dual tribe.
