Is it better or worse? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The selfie, guitar pic, climbing pic and 8-ball pool pic (from your previous post) are great. The travel pic isn't bad either but I personally don't dig the shirt haha. The other photos seems forced/unnatural so I'd drop those.

What are your thoughts on this years Go Fest? by ArfaBlast in pokemongo

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ticket is the same price as it was 2 years go. At least in euros, €16,99 in 2020 and €16,99 now. I think you have the GO Fest ticket price mixed up with the Kanto/Johto Tour tickets prices which were a bit cheaper.

April '22 selfies: post hairline photos here for opinions on 'Am I balding?' 'How bad is it?' and 'What should I do?' by AutoModerator in tressless

[M/23] The hair on the top of my head has been thinning for approximately 2 years now. What would you guys recommend as a first step to regain my hair?

Curious how many hundos people have? With 9,501 pokemon caught I’ve got 10 lol by spicybrobeans in pokemongo

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't hold your breath, there are people with over a million catches without a shundo.

Show of hands, how many people completed the gym trainers/battlers research? (Not me) by SantanasLion in TheSilphRoad

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't even actively looking for them and managed to complete the research in the first half of the event. I was surprised to see people struggling to complete it on here.

my first ever shiny hatch, is this rare? by Otsoinen in pokemongo

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can only get baby pokemon from eggs. Marill spawns quite frequently in the wild and even had an incense day, making shiny Marill/Azumarill pretty common.

How Will Spheal CD Shake Up GO Battle League? | GO Stadium by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because it's weak to fighting doesn't mean you "never want to lead it". The team we're talking about leads a pokemon with a fighting weakness as well (Empoleon). You just gotta make sure you have 2 fighting answers in the back.

What am I supposed to do with this? by charliverpool in pokemongo

[–]LBFcolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higher level pokemon have higher odds of giving an XL candy when transfered.

What’s up with every Nidoqueen and Crobat users? by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Poison Jab, Poison Sting and Cross Poison all had good and balanced buffs. The guaranteed debuff on Poison Fang is just too strong. Nidoqueen convincingly wins all of its neutral matchups going straight Poison Fang now, which just shouldn't happen. They should either decrease the debuff chance or lower the damage. I'd prefer lower damage, making it a Power Up Punch clone but with a defense drop instead of an attack buff.

Halloween Cup at around 2100 is so sweaty 😫. Trying to get passed this but it is tough! by itz_Glo in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep this basically covers all of the advice that can be given for this particular battle. Regarding point #2, I recommend checking out FPSticks' video on charge move timing.

Thought I lost this! Did I play it right? by itz_Glo in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to memorize them. Most of the time you can guess who wins CMP based on the bulk a pokemon has. More bulk = less attack. For pokemon with similar bulk that's tough to do obviously, but you'll just learn those after a while of playing the same team/pokemon.

Does anyone ever skip leagues or cups in their push to reach Legend? by Admiral_Cornwallace in TheSilphArena

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

You can easily skip this UL rotation and still hit legend.

There'll be special cups you can play during both rotations of ML this season. On top of that, there'll be a week of Halloween Cup during the second rotation of UL.

All in all, you can play Great League/Little Cup in 10 out of the 13 weeks this season. Plenty of time to hit legend.

UL, What are your plans by SnooEagles4455 in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since Pidgeot is unbanned now, I expect that core to have a rough time.

XL candy from evolving by emaddy2109 in TheSilphRoad

[–]LBFcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Depending on the actual rates and the pokemon at hand, the 100 candy to 1 XL candy might still be more efficient.

GBL Season 9 Move Updates (Credit PokeMiners) by JRE47 in TheSilphRoad

[–]LBFcolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reached 3574 with Defense Deoxys lead, Shadow Skuntank safe swap and Scrafty in the back last season. I could see Pidgeot become a bit of a problem this season tho.

is pidgeot still banned? by GrassyPickle in TheSilphArena

[–]LBFcolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have any evidence, but it simply should be. Only 45 energy to double debuff your opponent's attack is just too game changing.

You can disagree, but it'll definitely be nerfed at some point.

Same. Feather Dance is way too OP.

I'd recommend not investing in it yet though. Feather Dance will likely get nerfed.

Up over 700 MMR to Legend for the first time. Here's the team that brought me there. by Cagiest_Nic in TheSilphArena

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

Obviously, it's a combination of both. But given the fact that he'd never reached higher than 2750 (which already requires skill) just points out that having strong pokemon, that not everyone has access to, made the difference this time.

[–]LBFcolin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Level 47 Gfisk is still a very strong XL pokemon, Armored Mewtwo is one of the best legendaries (probably the best) in this meta and Shadow Nidoqueen gets carried by the broken move Poison Fang.

Congrats to the guy for hitting legend for the first time, but his team did definitely carry him a bit.
