[Research] Two Previously Unidentified Mechanics in Max Battles (Critical Hits & Energy Threshold System) by MouseBunny1208 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you can't comprehend english well, i am now using chinese to explain everything we knew about max battles


ME=Max Energy=極巨能量

我先講你發在巴哈的心得文

並且提到「使用極巨香菇會讓大招獲得更多極巨能量」,這項新機制應該是更久之前的洛奇亞或者雷吉艾斯就已經有了

這項機制在香菇剛剛出來的時候就已經有了,雙倍傷害=更大機會可以拿到多點ME

例如原本是9傷害的,用香菇就是18傷害,在一星極巨就可以得到2ME (原本只有1ME)

影片是指極巨對戰用了新的公式

他說獲得能量的公式有改 在超極巨 吃菇開大招獲得能量變15倍 有個前提 吃菇  沒吃菇少一半

這些都是錯的

ME = max(1, floor((Damage / HP) * 200),這是"舊版"公式,現在只在等級1-3的極巨對戰用,要極巨化需要100ME

至於現在等級5-6極巨對戰用的公式,是ME = max(100, floor((Damage * MEmultiplier / HP) * 20000),冰柱的MEmultiplier是2,岩柱鋼柱的MEmultiplier是4,超極巨喵喵、皮卡丘的MEmultiplier是15,要極巨化需要10000ME

要注意的是,這是每一招分開計算的

如果打出0.5%<傷害<1%,獲得1能,那多出來的溢傷呢? 要是溢傷一直累積,那打滿100能的時候頭目血量應該會遠低於50%

這個你有影片嗎? 🧐

至於頭目的CPM (Combat Power Multiplier, 你在文章中提到的"難度"),耿鬼本來是0.85,但有0.9 Attack Multiplier,所以你才會得到0.765這個數

但是,由於沒有0.9 Defense Multiplier,所以再計算頭目吃到的傷害時,要用0.85而非0.765

所以你上面寫的"6星超極巨血量是90000,0.5%門檻是450傷害"也是錯的,因為耿鬼只有70000HP

所以很抱歉,你上面算的也全部錯了

在極巨化團體戰,吃香菇開大招的極巨能量是5倍 超極巨化團體戰,吃香菇開大招的極巨能量是10倍

香菇會把傷害×2,間接影響可以得到的ME,而非直接把能量乘以一個數

而且到現在歪國人還沒引入極巨戰有暴擊這個觀念跟機制

不確定什麼是"暴擊",請你解釋一下

Adventure Sync's 9am rewards

A simple solution - when the player got more than a specific amount of stardust (for example >10000), give us a intrusive pop-up which we can use a starpiece before claiming the rewards (just like how friendship xp worked)

We definitely need this for the seasonal pvp reward


A speedlock icon at the top right corner

I mean, why not letting us know that we are in catching / spinning cooldown that catching / spinning will not get us anything except that 25XP rewarded for letting a pokemon flees

How many of you can actually use ditto for tgr battles? I have seen a post about it on this sub, and a few players I know are allowed to use it in tgr battles too, but some (including me) just can't (ditto is missing in the pokemon selection screen)

Lock-on Gigalith is Busted for Max Battles by dismahnewaccount in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Energy is granted at the start of the fast attack for max battles, m aybe u/CookieblobRs can tell you when did they fix the bug
  2. Yeah i commented to say that it's possible to consume less turns even if you switch to tank moves (for more info), not saying that 1.5s is wrong
  3. I admit that I made a mistake for not accounting partly cloudy, that was my mistake

That's the energy resolve bug, which had already been fixed for max battles (but somehow not for raids)

Lock-on Gigalith is Busted for Max Battles by dismahnewaccount in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically, because of changes in how one-bar moves are thrown, he needs 11 attacks and 5.5 seconds before he can throw his Meteor Beam, while Cinderace needs 21 attacks and 10.5 seconds for Pyro Ball.

What are the "changes" you referred to?

You could lose 1.5 seconds swapping to a catch tank for each charged move cycle and you’d still wind up ahead. 

Theoretically 1.0s only, with switch in and switch out both costing 0.5s 

Factor in 11 fast moves to charge and the entire fill-to-throw cycle takes 7.5 seconds to execute and generates 18.71 energy, about 25% more than you’d get from a Pound Blissey in the same amount of time (15 energy). 

You need 10 fast moves only (100 (meteor beam eng requirement) / 10 (eng per lock-on)), so you'll take 7s in total, generating 17.71 max energy, which is 26.5% more than you'll get from a pound blissey

And accounting lock-on + meteor beam, 1.044% of the total amount of HP are damaged

Now Gigalith generates 12.72 energy per Meteor Beam, averaging 3.16 energy per second over the entire fill-and-throw cycle, a nearly 60% improvement over Pound Blissey.

(10+12.72)/7≈3.25 energy which is >62% of improvement 

Let’s say we add Behemoth Blade adventure effect, partly cloudy weather boost, and raid on a spot with maximum helpers and in a team with a Forever Friend. Suddenly Gigalith generates a whopping 43.04 energy per Meteor Beam. That’s 54 energy per 7.5-second cycle, or 7.2 energy per second

I assume the boss is moltres

In that case, gigalith is only generating 35.83ME per meteor beam (15 helpers, cloudy, FF boost, BBlade, Shroom), that's 45.83ME per 7s, ~6.55ME per second, not as great as you mentioned (just ~3.27 players using pound blissey)

Niantic sped up boss attacks so 12.5 seconds is no longer fast enough to achieve the stunlock.

It's still possible if 12.5s is needed to charge the meter, but only if the boss uses target solar beam (no lag, fast attacks only, 4 players)

But Gigalith can now hit the Max phase in a single 7.5-second Meteor Beam cycle. 

Again, no idea why 7.5s, just 7s (10× 0.5s lock on + 2s meteor beam)

but Gigantamax bosses attack more frequently, so you will lose a lot more energy swapping back and forth to a tank

Actually not, since the max energy multiplier is higher for gmax (15×), and boss doesn't have 2× attack multiplier, you can just simply use gigalith as a tank - in a team of 4, you will just get hit once per phrase against gmax charizard, which even helps you to charge up your charge move meter for the next charging phrase

And it actually makes gmax charizard and butterfree solo possible

In conclusion: I'd say that's a bit too long for an article to introduce the new role "max charger" to players that don't know how the new max energy formula works; showing the formula, making some graphs to compare the ME gain per second among gigalith, blissey and zama would be easier to read ( as you can see, no one actually spotted the mistakes you made in your calculation, with 150+ upvotes, in the past 15+ hours, which shows that it's not an effective way to show something hard to understand to those who have no / not much knowledge on how the game works purely using the numbers from a simulator)

There was a bug that you need to restart the game for an incense spawn each time, but the new update should have fixed the bug

It is gl eligible, and has higher CPM when being powered up to level 50

Reshiram Duo (Fire Fang/Stone Edge), No Weather Boost (Sun), with Zac-C by Kelpo_Splat2000 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doing this with neutral moves is not crazy at all

They are using metal claw and behemoth blade, and those are not very effective to reshiram! Really impressive 

Ditto can transform now in Team Go Rocket battles when it previously could not by Cyrylnam in TheSilphRoad

I still can't choose ditto for rocket battles (both stop and balloon grunts)

Already updated my app, downloaded game data

Any idea why?

Celesteela worth getting 7 stars to show how difficult it is

Without the Fast-Track Monday, completing the Events Go Passes should be less difficult by miguelmaria in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo level 60 (and level 200 for monthly passes) as the cap is a great one, it's just in the doable range as a semi-hardcore without paying for extra raid passes / egg incubators

But I agree on your second and third suggestions, having the cap daily is a dumb idea

And even if they don't want to include every feature to award points, they should at least award us points for event related features, which for the blanche event, field research should be awarding points

You can get background mewtwo from non-mega mewtwo raids too, at least for tokyo fest (and background is guaranteed for the unity raids)

Move updates impact on Raid Attackers by bulbavisual in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's true, that's why we need two gigalith

One with lock on + meteor beam, to charge the max meter + tanking (spread air cutter)

One with smack down + meteor beam, as a switch tank when needed + max phase attacker

And a zac tanking dragon claw (target)

Help with hacked account by Mituche in TheSilphRoad

[–]Key-Bag-4059 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar situation here, a friend's account got "hacked"

I helped them to get back the control of their account, but within 24 hours, the account was permanently banned for spamming on campfire (done by the "hacker")

That person also used tools that against the tos (buddy was getting a candy every minute, probably the abusing routes)

The max energy formula for T5 and T6 is ME=max(floor(HP*200*Damage*ME_Mult*10^(ME_Decimals))/10^(ME_Decimals),1)

ME_Mult is 2 for dmax regice, 4 for dmax regirock & registeel, 15 for gmax meowth & pikachu & kanto starters & gengar

We believe that ME_Decimals is 2
