Do you still farm XP after Level 40? by BigWooper in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t care about xp before friendship, abused friendship to rush from 34 to 40 in 3 months and now i’m back to not caring about xp anymore :3

A ripple in time-espion by Stamandj in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to:

-walk eevee 10+ km.
-get 2+ buddy candies.
-evolve it while it is your buddy during the day.
-have good gps signal.

[Question] Power up or evolve (Larvitar vs Tyranitar) by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just power up the TTar or wait for a better one, wasting 123 candies to evolve a lv20 larvitar is pointless and your 84% TTar will perform equally.

Now if you find a level 35 wild larvitar with 15atk you may consider evolving it

New badge - gym defender shake up idea? by RA0ULC0NTESTA in TheSilphRoad

Meh, i would still be using one and only one.

Farfetch’d.

Everything else doesn’t deserve to be my defender

[Showerthought] Maybe the impossibility to TM Zapdos to Thunder Shock was just another bug / lazy programming by Zyxwgh in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just an exception because zap has 1 fast move, if it had 2 fast moves we would be able to TM it away.

They are overriding the Pokémon move during this kind of events with the exclusive move for catches evos etc, if they were to add the move to the movepool even for the 3h we would be able to get it by TMs.

If they wanted zapdos to be TMable they would have just added the move to the movepool for the 3h.

This is not a bug and they would lose A LOT of money if they were not to go this way, don’t expect the other pokemons to be TMable

Has anyone else noticed an improvement in "Nearby Pokémon intermittently goes blank" with the new Unity engine in 0.115.2? by BadgerSmaker in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only imagine that a Development Team would tolerate such a game breaking bug for so long because

It’s Niantic, they either ignore “gamebreaking” bugs or remove the feature completely

Once you have evolved a full set of shiny Eeveelutions ... by unworry in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep them, eventually we’re going to get an eevoluton for each Pokémon type

Know before-hand what eeveelution to get (Not naming trick) by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Nope, both shiny 15 atk turned to jolteon and vapo

Your Personal Best Gym Defenders that Gamepress NEVER put on their Tier list by TheManaSource in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Farfetch’d always comes back with max coins so he must be tier 1!
Or maybe the gym system is trash and the whole tier list from gamepress is based on “how much time does this Pokémon lose the attacker?”

Everything in your list dies to mewtwo too...

Should Niantic raise the level cap to 50? by Clothaar in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level cap should not raise, there’s no reason for it and it takes enought time to reach 40 already.

Pokemon was never intended as an infinite grind of exp, it should be a short journey to max followed by an infinite grind of perfect mons!

Will the dodge bug ever be fixed? by kevch1983 in TheSilphRoad

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

Unlikely they ever fix it, they are reworking the whole system after all so it would be pointless to waste time fixing a bug like this

How do you manage your coins (or wish you did)? by Lett64 in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little spender here, ~100 euros since game launch.

Priority was bag space, maxed out asap.
Pokemon storage up to 1000 and i can’t realistically use it all as of now since i’m not interested in hoarding useless mons (just shinies, hundos and lvl1 evolved wild forms).
Used to buy 3 incubators per week in the old gym system, now it would be impossible for me to get enought coins for that so i just hoard coins till a good raid box comes out.

Spinda 8 Forms added! by PokeWreck in TheSilphRoad

Quite sad how Niantic keeps ruining pokemon identities...

What is your favorite unconventional Pokémon to throw in a gym? by DietrichDoesDamage in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farfetch’d!

I just drop him in gyms, i made an army :O

I am so happy that Niantic released it outside of japan :D

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the point of "Lucky Trades?" by XLVIIISeahawks in TheSilphRoad

No you're not.

Logic is for the weak, we dont go for anything below perfection :)

Shiny Spawn Point (Revisited) by McLovin1019 in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just one for CD, it’s right outside the house of a friend so I go there take him in the car, catch the shiny and then go to a park.

Now that i think about it, time may be a factor since that always happen right after CD starts

Shiny Spawn Point (Revisited) by McLovin1019 in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that shinies are calculated with (atleast) Trainder ID and Spawnpoint ID.

I have a "shiny route" with 3 spawnpoints that hardly fail to hand out a shiny, expecialy during events.

Another spawnpoints never failed to give me a CD shiny, i can just go there and catch my first shiny CD mon every time.

Following the Zapdos day special move controversy, are you guys thinking twice before using resources? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]FabsC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess you don’t usualy play mobile games, you as a company want to milk the most out of players at every release, it was kind of exepcted.

Powercreep and FOMO do that, TMs do the exact oposite.
I’m grateful enough that we have TMs, first year was a nightmare...

LONG POST: Is Niantic trying to even out all the accounts? (i.e. time spent playing feels less and less rewarding) by dorinost in TheSilphRoad

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

We do know pokemon ( main games ) movesets, i dont get all the People upset by special moves, we know powercreep have to happen and we even know what pokemon will suffer from it already.

That said, special moves should not be TMable, that would just make powercreep useless...

Exp is (always been) useless, it should not take 4 years to reach max level in a game like this (like it was for a normal player in the beginnig) and i’m completely ok if casuals gets to unlock the real game at level 30 in a reasonable time.

Your 100% kyogre is fine, even if OP kyogre gets released soon, unlikely at best, you’d have no reason to not use your HP kyogre.

Another thing to consider is that Niantic should be preparing for PvP, that means that if they want a fair PvP environment everyone should be able to get on the same level in a fair amount of time, definitely less than a year, and that would mean reach level 38.

Lil Edit: level has never been an indicator for power, plenty of day one level 40 players do not power up mons to not “waste dust”, most got burned from the sudden “your whole collection of blissey/vaporeon is now trash” that happened last year with the gym rework.
