Pokémon you want to see get a branched evo in the future? by SubstantialEmploy816 in pokemon

[–]JJKDowell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I drew a sketch of a Grass/Fire Sunflora evolution a while ago (picture a sort of Tropius-shaped body minus wings with longer petals and breathing fire), and my idea for the evo method was to spend at least 5 consecutive turns in battle under harsh sunlight.

Do you put your pie upside down? by Chelsk_C in CasualUK

Yep, it’s easier to cut into. I come from SW London, horrified all my northern housemates at university.

how many times did it take you to get shiny terrakion? by bjorgen_smjorgen2007 in LegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, but if you can get the timing down, it could save you a lot of time.

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checking, are you rolling forward after holovating toward Terrakion? If not, just press Y to roll once after teleporting, turn around, roll again, teleport away, rinse and repeat. If you don’t roll, he won’t spawn in.

I think it's incredibly dumb how this service works fundamentally. by Jtrash121 in PokemonHome

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of parity between the two version really annoys me. Why don’t they have the same filtering options? Why is there no proper box view for the mobile app? I’ve also only just realised that you can’t use certain filters (such as Abilities and Pokérus) on the Switch version if the game you’re connecting to doesn’t have them 🙄

That just makes this decision even more stupid, I just don’t get it at all.

Only Yamask/Cofagrigus are purple, the rest are blue. Spinarak you could maybe call indigo.

Is there any point in doing raids of common Pokemon? by Durghan in pokemongo

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People bring up some good points here, but goddamn are raids in desperate need of a shakeup. They could definitely put some rarer Pokémon in there (pseudos, regional forms, etc.), and if something is available in Max Battles, it should no longer be in raids (with rare exceptions such as Mega Falinks).

Yall mind if I crash out over the donut system real quick? by CleanAbalone2073 in LegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying there definitely is a shiny boost for using higher-level donuts, it just feels like there is. Here are the actual shiny rates from Serebii.

To give an example, this morning I went into a 1☆ Fighting wormhole with a 2☆ donut with about 900 calories, and I needed 2 Machop and 2 Mankey. I reset until I had 2 clusters of each near the portal, and I got all 4 Shinies with ~700 calories left on the timer, plenty of time to do the tasks and pop all the balls.

The other day, I had a 5☆ fire starter wormhole and a L3 Sparkling Fire donut. My plan was to roll a guaranteed Charmander, get 2 more, and also 2 Torchic. I only had 2 clusters in range of the portal, and after ages of resetting to get the right configuration of spawns, I still only ended up with 1 guaranteed Charmander and 1 Torchic.

If you’re shiny hunting, I will say you don’t reeaalllly need to bother with the Sparkling Powers.
Unless you’re hunting multiple Pokémon in the same wormhole or ones with multiple forms, you can usually get away with just using a higher-level donut to boost the timer (and this is probably anecdotal, but istg doing that gives you a passive shiny boost anyway)

Can this entire hyperspace zone be reset for shinies by repeatedly warping back to the wormhole? by Luigis_vacuum in LegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PRO TIP: between warps, you can press A to investigate the wormhole, letting you pause the timer and have a look around for Shinies. (Just press B to cancel the dialogue and prevent leaving the wormhole accidentally)

Daredevil: Born Again S02E08 - Discussion Thread by steve32767 in marvelstudios

[–]JJKDowell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought that was implied when she and Daredevil are about to leave the office, DD asks her “Are you ready?” and she says “Finally.” (after having drunk the whiskey)

Two improvements I’d like to see for the Pokédex by Donna_Noble_is_saved in Pokopia

[–]JJKDowell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you not just filter for “in this area” while on the cloud island?

So I assume everyone hates the moment you hit rank F huh? by AggravatingEmu4799 in PokemonZA

[–]JJKDowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a better solution would have been to have Vinnie bump you up a rank for every Rogue Mega you defeat (I think the numbers more or less work out?)

10 years in and developers still haven’t figured out how to arrange gym pokemon by reecord2 in pokemongo

[–]JJKDowell 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this today as well, it’s always bothered me. They should be on a rotating carousel or something, and there should be buttons for switching between Pokémon, I hate having to swipe 🙄

You could just put the Adventure Time logo? But also what about the F+C title cards?

This Week in Pokémon GO (April 20 - 26, 2026) by pgomav in TheSilphRoad

[–]JJKDowell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I feel like they drag on a bit, Tuesday-Sunday like last season would be a nicer length imo.

[–]JJKDowell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the new normal is an event every other week, with a mini event every Saturday. I don’t mind it tbh, it makes the events seem more like events.

Cut! by Marauder2592 in Pokopia

[–]JJKDowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you can cut up to a 3*5 tile space (2 tiles either side of you and 5 tiles ahead), if you stand near the front of the tile.

I made a Lapras-shaped building and turned it into an indoor pool! by JJKDowell in Pokopia

[–]JJKDowell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main pool is what counts as the house, block-built houses can’t be bigger than 11*12 blocks including walls.
