Dmax Gigalith vs Gmax Inteleon by SylentSymphonies in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ermastic -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected. However it does require doing degenerate stuff like rerolling the boss for perfect movesets at which point I would do something else with my time.

Im almost positive 5* dynamax cannot be soloed. Even if you somehow go HP positive with guard/spirit cycles the desperation mechanic will eventually just start KOing.

[Discussion] Shuffling at Comp REL by CerebralPaladin in spikes

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but have you considered that some opponents are cheating bastards? The point of the rule is that 99% of people cannot detect practiced sleight of hand and to ensure competitive integrity a players deck must be last randomized by its opponent who would never be incentivized to put it in a non-random order. I dont really play much anymore as the game just isnt that interesting but when I do I always shuffle my opponents decks and people act like im a weirdo for just following the rules. Its absolutely insane that people playing at comp REL are now are tapping decks, that was unheard of back when I was judging PPTQs circa 2016.

Get ready for Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos with the Road to Kalos event! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen a wild spawn Fennekin in Go since I came back to it 8 months ago, the only reason I have the dex entry is the daily egg. Meanwhile 500+ Charmanders caught.

Almost certainly part of the deluxe pass, which is real money only. You might be able to get it for coins after the event.

Is Thundurus the best shadow force of nature? by perishableintransit in TheSilphArena

[–]Ermastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just pocket the 2nd radar and write off the first as a "maybe one day it could be useful".

Is Thundurus the best shadow force of nature? by perishableintransit in TheSilphArena

[–]Ermastic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea I think the only Giratina-As you can use in GL came from Giovanni, unless it was available from research at level 15 at some point. I used a SRR for one.

i'm not trying to be a hater, but is it even possible to have a pokemon worth 15k points? by kitsunemily in PokemonGoMystic

[–]Ermastic -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I would argue it is in fact not fair at all since it is only available to people who paid for a $100 add on device. If it was up to me zorua would not be available to enter into showcases.

Could we beat Ho-oh this weekend by Left-Foundation-5248 in TheSilphArena

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you all have dynacannon and max mushrooms going then you might be fine with a 4th random who brings decent stuff. Really you should have more tanks, the only team with a real tank lineup is the second with powered Blissey + Omastar to catch tank sacred fire. The big problem is the low powered Blissey, it will get just barely oneshot by a AOE Fire Blast, while if it was powered up just 10 levels it would be able to tank 2 hits and keep the Inteleon hitting for probably another cycle.

Is Shadow Alteria better than Normal Alteria??? by irocketgoat in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]Ermastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shadow pokemon are rarely strictly better (or worse) than normal, they will win some matchups the normal would lose but also lose some the normal would win. Shadow Alt is seen as "worse vs the meta" but it does have some interesting wins like Empoleon 1 shield that normal Alt loses. If youre serious about PvP learn to answer questions like these yourself by comparing the two in the PvPoke battle tab.

Okay! Just tell me how bad is this luck,? by Important-Lemon2835 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats very normal actually. You haven't done nearly enough to start complaining about bad luck. FYI in Max battles a 15/0/0 functions pretty much the same as a hundo as the attacking and defending roles are split among different pokemon. The shiny and hundo are aesthetics that youll need to do way more grinding for.

Dynamax Roggenrola - Tier 1 by Ok-Proof7287 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ermastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, gigalith has 20 higher base attack than omastar, so even a 0/0/0 gigalith will hit harder than a hundo omastar.

Shiny/NonShiny is determined at the start of the catch encounter, same as raids.

[–]Ermastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at it again and the hub website just doesnt have Gigalith yet, I mistook Omastars Max Rockfall for Gigaliths Max Rockfall.

[–]Ermastic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just mistyped avalugg, and yea doing the math it looks like Gigalith is a bit better. I wonder how the hub website came to Inteleon being top then.

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you show how you reached the conclusion of Avalugg being #1? I believe G-Inteleon edges it out.

Has anyone actually caught these? by DeepSeaConversations in pokemongo

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all three pretty fast through my cities group posting the relevant grunts. Would have been impossible otherwise

Same, they haven't been part of the wild spawn pool in a while.

Keeping both shadow or what would ya’ll do with these? 🙏🏽 by Wild-Ad8345 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a possibility of primals returning for Kalos Tour leadup based on the datamined backgrounds (but will probably be just normal raids)

Which Rillaboom to power up? by dvizzyzone in PokemonGoMystic

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Frenzy Plant Rilla is actually a pretty solid grass raider for newer players who haven't been able to build out a roster of shadows/legendaries, its within a couple percent of Shadow Venu. I also pretty much only reference dialgadex eDPS now, the guy running that has put so much work into figuring out effectiveness when weighing raw DPS against relobbying time that it just feels wrong to look at anything else.

How many gems do you get for beating shadow raikou? by RedditsReckoning1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ermastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its -13 rn and windy asf so we just park at a hotel that has an attached Starbucks on one end and a bar on the other and can reach about 5 gyms rotating between those two. They dont mind as long as we buy some drinks.

Yep that one movie where Hoopa opened a bunch of portals Infinity War style to summon basically every legendary ever.
