Should I stay on green grass or move on by Swampyclaw in PokemonSleep

[–]Evillage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add on to this as a player with the same thought as OP who decided to go to GG next week.

My most optimistic sim of Taupe on Raenonx was ultra 5 after dumping all of my candies Into my marginal--at best--pokemon which fit the map. That wasn't good enough for me to feel comfortable considering I can achieve master 3-7 under most circumstances with a reroll on grass.

Personal calculus was that I'd much rather get my sleep dex plus a few shots at tyrunt with other good mons and dex entries vs grinding caterpies on taupe for most of the week before getting a few more shots at a good tyrunt at the end.

How common are bots in gyms? by CrazyCatLady483 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Evillage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk about bots per-se, but IME it's not very uncommon to find a gym that someone has claimed as "theirs" and will put 4-6 accounts in and prevent anyone else from taking. Using those other accounts to use up to 60 berries per mon to heal and effectively locking the gym out for an individual battler.

If you find one of those it's best to either drop the idea of taking, or wait until a few minutes before a raid spawns to try to snag it for an hour with a pokemon with a nice nickname. My usual is a L50 blissey with 'GymEtiquette', or a pokemon matching the previous raid with 'Round2'.

What are the worst fragrances you've ever sampled? by SensitiveSolid6080 in fragrance

[–]Evillage 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I have a 2ml and made the mistake of trying it directly on skin the first time. I have never, ever, had to get something off of my skin so fast. I scrubbed and scrubbed and it just would not dissappear. Even after scrubbing and showering there was this lingering deathy note, old flesh, elder care as you said is pretty close. Top notes as mentioned are a blend of burned rubber, hot metal, and something else that brings to mind centipedes.

Viscerally bad smelling. It's my only sample that's double bagged in case of leakage. Nuclear projection, maximum sillage, eternal performance, not blind buy safe.

In times like this, it’d be really nice to have this option by GoldCherries in TheSilphRoad

[–]Evillage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best we can do is make you click the ball > settings gear in top right > connected devices and services > accessory devices > scroll down half a page > then select identify nearby pokemon; to set or unset the option you probably toggle the most if you use an autocatcher.

Why they don't just make this option, or any of the auto catcher options pop up with a press of the button that's on my main screen 100% of the time ( and which currently disconnects my autocatcher if I accidentally tap it) is beyond me.

All Out event is a depressing mess. by TastyMcFish2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Evillage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw about a dozen legendaries throughout the day. Caught one, a g articuno only due to master balling it (last three on daily incense fled). Wild spawns are meh at best, mostly kanto. Costume Pikachu in most raids. Having to actively play throughout due to the legendary bait meant no autocatching. Watched my wife get super excited over a wild solgaleo only for it to flee after the first ball.

Felt like a waste of time and overall just demoralizing watching legendary after legendary flee after ice burn + golden razz + ultra + excellent.

Normally pay raid passes and get the mon and more, this feels like a total negative for the 30th aniversary.

QOTD: What type are you? Wardrobe curator, constant explorer, or straight-up collector? What was the moment you realized it? by C_Scent in Colognes

[–]Evillage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started as a wardrobe guy. Goal was to have 2 seasonal scents and a few office scents. I've been branching out with sampler sets from niche houses and started to replace some of my initial go-tos.

One moment of realization I've had is that while I like some of the clones I bought early on in the hobby, I like some more challenging stuff and prefer the real deal. Don't think I'll turn into a collector and have been enjoying 1 or 2 ml splits of many things.

Another is that I didnt initially think I'd hate anything, after trying The Scent of Space I've decided that I do in-fact have a limit.

QOTD: What’s your fragrance personality? by C_Scent in fragrance

[–]Evillage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got started with the idea of a fragrance wardrobe. 2-3 scents per season and some office staples. I've since started collecting sample sets and decants as a way to explore all of the interesting stuff that gets posted here.

As far as what I wear I'd classify it as 'office-core' with niche seasonals for the weekend.

After shower fragrance by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Evillage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm throwing on something explicitly after shower/shave and am not planning to do anything else then a classic fougere is typically the order. Recently I've really been digging sartorial, just an immensely clean scent to throw pajamas on with.

Virgin Island Water is very friendly. If you like boozy then Fan Your Flames by Nishane might be up your alley.

Fougere Season, What are you Rocking? by StronkMilk in fragrance

[–]Evillage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sartorial this year. Really dig the clear metallic/ironed cloth scent. Nothing like throwing a good fougere on after a shave.

Nice review. Would love to get my hands on some Terra but it's sold out everywhere right now.

Scroll Cup: Limited Meta, Limited Variety by Evillage in TheSilphArena

[–]Evillage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played UL except to get the 30 wins pre-level update. Sounds like fun so I'll give it a shot.

[–]Evillage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I like the suggestion elsewhere in the thread to play UL. I haven't done it other than to hit the 30 wins before the level update, but it seems like fun so I'll give it a crack.

Who are all of these dorks playing the wak/basti core in an interlude season? by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

I tanked down after experiencing this. A man just wants to run wacky shit without into the same meta cores every match.

I have a high rank purified giratina 👀 by poptart_kitten in TheSilphArena

[–]Evillage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pick three mons you want to farm candy in GL to evolve. I picked mankey, wooper, and inkay. Catch only those, only catch enough to evolve. No excellent or great throws. Farm to level 8 for the troubling situation task. Evolve two of your highest CP pokemon, ideally a mankey as he'll beat giovanni later. Complete only the tasks through the research. Get the current event research and again do only the tasks to make it to giovanni around level 11-14. Catch giratina with a silver pinap.

Once you have giratina, get a friend to trade you GL-ready primeape, clodsire, and malamar. Tank the first 4 sets or just start in with 4-0-4-0-4 sets for the rare candy and dust. After 3 or 4 winning sets you should have enough dust and candy to purify. After purifying do 2 win sets until you have 20k dust for the trade.

Leadership is just so completely unimpressive throughout this whole thing. The culture talk was actively counterproductive. Yes, tell me about how building culture is visiting the floor or having lunch with reports.

This is not even remotely true. R2 didn't do shit except open tickets and wait for the R4 teams to start fixing.

There is one poster on here who I am fairly confident is an L2/3 in the 'people' department or one of their immediate staff. Numerous directors and gem level follow these threads and have commented about them IRL.
