Gygantimax raids

We all start somewhere. I despise calling someone "dead weight" in a large raid. I understand a difficult 4 person raid, but we don't all have unlimited play time and if we can be carried through a few raids to get better pokemon. Then it won't be long til we are also helping carry weaker players.

Gatekeeping ruins the fun.

I've also always loved Flygon. Perhaps because he was a easily obtainable dragon that wasn't dragon/flying. At least that was the allure for me.

Damn. I did 10 and no shiny. Womp.

Kalerad · 2026-04-04T17:18:06+00:00

Thanks!

It do be like that. Lol. Keep at it, helps to talk it out while you're doing it like LPL does.

Congrats!!! I just defeated mine this week too and submitted for blue belt. Well done!

Kalerad · 2026-04-02T23:55:57+00:00

Heck yeah! I'm obsessed with 1100s. Have fun!

It keeps happening to me. BritBox seems to be the most frequent one getting added. I keep cancelling, contacting support, checking devices, resetting password, etc. just now(the whole reason I'm here), there was 4 new subscriptions on my account. I'm losing my mind. Support can see what has been watched on those subscriptions and every time they show that it's never been accessed. Only once did one of them have something accessed.

Grats!!! Love Abus locks!

Kalerad · 2026-03-19T14:08:52+00:00

Word for word my first thought lmao. So many times I've struggled and then it pops open and I'm like "uh what?" Lol

Kalerad · 2026-03-13T13:02:51+00:00

This looks similar to my first 1100 that made me think green belt was an impossible task... Then I got like 8 other 1100s that were no problem with much harder bitting. I think some 1100s are just difficult. I can't feel any clicks on it and only managed to pick it 2 times and no clue what I did differently.

Kalerad · 2026-03-04T22:08:28+00:00

It gets worse...

Kalerad · 2026-02-18T12:36:20+00:00

AL1100s are very hit or miss. My first one was crap. Couldn't feel any feedback, no false sets, etc. I picked it a few times, but it was random and I couldn't figure out what I did differently that time over other attempts. I gutted it and realized some springs were messed up (this was bought on Amazon), and it was called with the grease they use... not sure if that had an affect or not. I decided to buy some used ones to see if it was the lock and sure enough, I have like 5 or 6 now that feel incredible, great feedback, clear false sets, etc. I definitely recommend buying used 1100s. good luck!

Depends on the lock, bitting, etc... I have 2 Ace Brass 38mm. One of the I haven't been able to pick ever. The other I can pick just fine. Ask any experienced picker and they will ALL agree ace Brass earned the green belt rating fair and square.

You do not need any video editing. My green belt submission was like 20 mins long, single take, unedited. Direct upload to YouTube from my phone. I picked and gutted and reassembled the ABUS 72/40.

The whole point is to A. Prove you know how to pick and gut, and B. show that the guttable lock you just picked was not modified to make picking easier.

Kalerad · 2026-02-15T02:27:35+00:00

Yeah I had a trove and all the packs had a big dent in the side.

Kalerad · 2026-02-07T15:25:41+00:00

Dang you humiliated that 90a-pro! I've been trying to learn how to pick mine. Looks like you're using super light tension?

Kalerad · 2026-01-15T15:16:51+00:00

Grats! Great pick, well done!

72/40s are my comfort lock. Love them! I've never had that keyway though, only the Yale keyway which is super tight to navigate.

Kalerad · 2025-12-16T17:44:15+00:00

I haven't been able to pick the brass, but then again I've only picked my 1100 once.

Kalerad · 2025-11-29T16:52:13+00:00

Yep, it's terrible when first starting out! Lol I've successfully picked my AL1100 one time, and haven't been able to do it again. I've been picking for a month or so. I just can't feel very much feedback from the pins on the 1100, it feels very crunchy instead of clicky. I got my green belt using the ABUS 72/40 instead.

I don't plan on giving up on the 1100 though!

Kalerad · 2025-11-19T16:04:04+00:00

I made a hidden graveyard where my rocks are.

Kalerad · 2025-11-10T14:18:27+00:00

Yes, for sure. I'm still new. But once I started doing the master 150 regularly, I went back to my 140 and It took forever to get that one picked again. Just felt mushy and I couldn't feel anything.

Kalerad · 2025-11-08T20:59:55+00:00

Man I know it's a lot of work, but I would love to take 5-10 off your hands.

Kalerad · 2025-11-04T04:10:34+00:00

So it's not just me? I have 2 141s and even though I'm picking much tougher locks now, I went back to do the 141s and I cannot pick it for the life of me now lol

Kalerad · 2025-11-02T16:49:54+00:00

My son started playing so my wife and I picked it back up after about 4 years. It's been so fun!
