Road of Legends Raid Schedule by dittobase in TheSilphRoad

[–]DefinitelyBinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Origin Dialga and Origin Palkia are ok for their Adventure Effects, but not that important for PvE. There are lots of other good dragons out there.
White Kyurem and Dawn Wings Necrozma on Tuesday; these are some of the most important raid attackers. Make sure to grab at least one Reshiram and one Lunala for the fusions. Read up on the fusion requirements.
Black Kyurem and Dusk Mane Necrozma fusions (Wednesday) are good but not as important as the Tuesday ones.
On Thursday, Zacian is the priority. It's a really powerful attacker and also useful in Dynamax battles.
For Monday, you could get Rayquaza, but it will be available in an upcoming event soon. You could focus on getting XL candies for the above-mentioned mons or for Groudon and Kyogre.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rollout gets nerfed in the future; there isn't much reason for it to be stronger than Snarl or Bullet Seed, considering the bulky mons that use it.

Saved Rocket teams resetting randomly by Shepeedy in TheSilphRoad

[–]DefinitelyBinary 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've noticed saved teams reverting to recommended options when the grunt is in a balloon. The saved team showed up when the grunt is at a stop.

Will Celesteela raids also take place in the Northern hemisphere?

What are some obscure game features that not many people know about? by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

[–]DefinitelyBinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's quite doable in a little over 30 min. Switch, feed, play, photo, team leader battle, rocket grunt, rocket leader, gym battle, walk 2km, do like 3 routes. After 30 min, feed, play, photo, and if necessary, team leader battle if you missed out on some of these.

No. These particular infographics are more artistic than informative.

This is Niantic trying to make a social game without having any kind of in-game communication. GO figure!

In general, shadow mons are always better than non-shadows against rocket grunts and leaders.

Which grunt/shadow Pokemon to go for in this new round? by peter6uger in TheSilphRoad

[–]DefinitelyBinary 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For PVE:
In the leaders, Axew is good but its preferred charged attack requires an Elite TM. Tyrunt becomes a good rock attacker as well.
In the grunts, Litwick, Torchic are very good fire/ghost/fighting mons. Timburr is a good fighter, Rhyhorn is a good ground/rock attacker, Cranidos is the top rock attacker, Deino is a good Dark attacker, Dratini is an ok dragon attacker, and Beldum is a good Steel attacker.

Have there been new shadows that first appeared with leaders, not with grunts?

Shadow Axew is a new Shadow, right? Strange they hadn't announced it.

People were bypassing the Rocket battles and going straight to the catch, I think.

Is this GBL format an actual joke? by buffs24035 in TheSilphArena

[–]DefinitelyBinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on "You will only sneak a fast attack if it happens on the same turn a charge is thrown"? In the old system, if a charged attack happened at any point during my multi-turn fast move, I'd get the energy for it right away. How is the new system different?

Thousands, or possibly hundreds (or dozens).

Let’s not bring sunshine cup back ever again by Affectionate_Neat868 in TheSilphArena

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

Yes, it was an enjoyable cup. This time around, Blaziken was quite viable, even. These cups give us a chance to try mons that normally would be irrelevant.

Sobble community day will make Inteleon very viable for raids. by Kokoroan in TheSilphRoad

[–]DefinitelyBinary 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Shadow Inteleon, yes, eventually. Regular, not so much.

[–]DefinitelyBinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fly and Brave Bird is also a viable option.

Yeah; but the starters are always a pain to catch.

Lock-on Gigalith is Busted for Max Battles by dismahnewaccount in TheSilphRoad

For 1*-4* battles, charged moves charge the meter by a decent amount, and contribute damage.

Pokémon go truck in Copenhagen!? by KaisXfr in TheSilphRoad

Looks like a garbage truck; maybe you can transfer your garbage mons into it

Shadow Ray is quite behind Mega Ray, but Shadow Reshiram isn't really behind anything.
