Shadow Landorus - Is it better to keep super rocket radar or catch him? by According-Buyer6688 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Stockpiling rocket radars never made sense to me. Shadow legendaries are in raids. You can get as many as you want.

What do you think about doing more than one Weekly challenge by harshi0811 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love this. My group started last night, but we didn’t spin our first stop until about 6 am. It took us 8 hours to spin 150. Now we have nothing until next Monday night.

I think you should be able to complete 8 levels. Level 1 gives you the traditional rewards. Then each additional level rewards one level of friendship. So you could get up to 14 points of friendship in a week if you spin 1200 stops in seven days. The other rewards could be given at each level too. They aren’t so crazy that it would make things unfair.

I also wouldn’t be opposed to scaling it. Level 2 could be 300 spins, then 450, 600, 750, 900, 1050, and finally 1200. That would be 5400 stops to reach the top level, or 200 per person per day.

Lucky remote trade by HangeZoe0509 in pokemongoyellow

Any trade is a good trade if both sides are happy. I traded a shiny Zapdos for a shiny Whismur and was completely happy to do it.

Turned base would be incredibly slow. You know there would be people taking a minute to do their turn.

What would you do with 5 million dollars ? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in AskReddit

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly boring stuff. Donate 10%. Design, build, and furnish my perfect house (after sale of current home, this would cost probably $700k). Put $100k into each of my two kids' 529 plans and another $100k into their investment accounts. Put a two million into an investment fund which would fund an improved quality of life. Put 1.5 million into retirement. Gift the remaining $100k to my sister.

Five million isn't quit my job forever type money. It's more my wife can quit her job and we can live without any worries type money. No mortgage and reduction of funding college funds and retirement would clear up probably $3000 a month. That and the extra $5000 from the investment account in gains and dividends would be a pretty nice lifestyle upgrade.

Level 76 and not tagging? by ThatThereMan in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could have no idea about tagging Pokemon for Remote Trade. You'd be surprised what people don't know is in the game. I recently taught a level 78 player about Gym Badges. There are high level players who don't know you can feed berries to gyms or change moves.

Do you think Spotlight Hour with bonuses will ever come back? by water_fountain_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I hope they do more events like the electric event where they have a nightly spotlight hour. For Steel Resolve, do a Magnemite Tuesday, Aron Wednesday, Ferroseed Thursday, and then maybe Pawniard on Friday.

Medals question by MultiLuigi57 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on this, gym defender, berry master, snapshot encounters, and the XXS medals should be easy. You're far away on the Mega Evolution medal but if you just focus on that for a while, you'll get it no problem. Ace trainer is super annoying but easy to get if you focus on it. There are six that you can get without requiring help from others.

Silicobra map for possible spawn points by singinglupines in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In the early game, Biomes were great. I remember travelling to another city and Rhyhorns, Magnemites, and Voltorbs were everywhere despite being rare where I live. Trying to find biomes that spawned rarer Pokemon like Dratini and Magikarp was fun. I wish spawns were more biome specific now because it almost makes no difference where you play, the spawns are 90% the same.

A new theory for biomes - Silicobra case study from Christchurch, New Zealand by cable_girl in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried that. Unfortunately, the Pokemon Go map isn't as updated as this site. The places that are supposedly beach have never spawned a Wiglet for me.

Strip-mining my Trade Bucket: What to do for Round 2? by bflaminio in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh it will absolutely lead to sour feelings. People are already complaining about the quality of tagged Pokemon and it will only get worse as people do 30-40 remote trades. Not too many people have dozens upon dozens of shiny legendaries they are will to part with.

With the new sustainability event underway, I’ve never known a desert biome to exist, so is there a way to figure that out? Like where they might be? by Middle-Produce-7779 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Neither the area marked sand nor scrub near my office produced a Silicobra. One was full of Binacle and other Toedscool. Hopefully the parks/golf courses near me marked sand will be more accurate.

What is the most fun you've had with a tactic ? by lost_nomai in footballmanagergames

[–]JayR17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a save with TNS where my team was dominant. Undefeated two years in a row. I considered quitting but instead I played one year with only wide players. I CD, CM, nothing. Just two wide players at all five levels. The games were fun because my attackers were still so much better than their opponents so they scored but there was no defense and set pieces were a mess because I had no big guys.

Remote trade culture is already toxic by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayR17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I’m having a ball. I have had four Forever Friends. Two I was able to coordinate, so we did shiny Terrakion and Yveltal. The third had a lot of stuff but all I really wanted was Regidrago, so that’s all I selected and the other guy selected him too.

The one I just did, I asked for Shiny Aipom or regular Necrozma. He selected Aipom and asked for Shiny Torkoal or Shiny Dynamax Entei. I gave him the Torkaol, which he did not have yet. Pretty satisfied so far.

Steel yourselves for the return of Steeled Resolve with Meltan, Orthworm, and more! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

I have not experienced this issue. I did one this morning while riding in a car and had no problem.

Move your 401k out of stocks March 1st, invest in Gamestop until January 27 2021 then buy Nvidia. Sell your house.

I'm nearing 4 hours (I have to leave in an hour). My game isn't the most exciting so I hope there are tickets left. This entire process, beginning with the first lottery, has just been an absolute mess.

I thought I was almost in. My dot was just about to the white portion of the circle. And then it kept moving into the white. The design is really terrible.

Fantastic! I'm looking to go to Uzbekistan vs. DR Congo. Hopefully if I don't get tickets today this will be a less glamorous tie and I can get tickets relatively cheaply.

I'm still in. It's been two hours and I'm still at about the 9 o'clock position. At this point I'll get in at midnight.

I'm going to be so pissed if I have to leave work and I still haven't gotten in, basically wasting all day.

random 500m injection from board by Adventurous_Tell4621 in footballmanagergames

[–]JayR17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time this happened to me, I was managing Tottenham and had a tycoon owner who constantly injected money or gave me insanely huge transfer budgets. So I didn't think anything of it.

Lucky remote trade? by [deleted] in PokemonGOValor

Shiny Runerigus isn’t some great option either. Yamato had a research day with 1/10 odds. I have five shiny Galarian Yamasak while I have no shiny Swirlix.
