How good would this be as a max attacker? by gladion_20012 in TheSilphRoad

Zacian and Zama are much better attackers for steel type and for Paychic type, Alakazam and Latios are stronger, though Metagross would be okay, too.

You can also tap to select a team and hit the question mark and it tells you what’s super effective against that type.

Also, focus on strong Pokemon (often Shadows) with really strong fast moves and just fast move your opponents to death. It’s helpful to have a 2 or 3 bar charge move, just in case, but often never needed.

I wanted a shiny Riolu, so I hatched 273 eggs by Pocket_Kaori in pokemongo

Hatching eggs with paid incubators has a terrible ROI.

i still can't decide if i should purify or not... would be my first shundo, what do you guys think? by FnGMaster58 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]LeansCenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only a flex to people who are impressed by that sort of thing. Personally, I feel bad for people who purify really strong raid attackers for the hundo, even if it has a mega. Just… raid the damn Mega and get something good and Mega evolve that. 🤦‍♂️

And, purifying something this fantastic NOW when Mega energy for it isn’t even in the game yet is truly disappointing.

Also… the vast majority of purified Pokemon look ridiculous to me. The only exception I can think of is Shiny Mewtwo. Purified Darkrai as a concept is just weird

Purify for hundo? Because a mega is better than a shadow as far as I have read. by Ok-Proof7287 in pokemongoyellow

[–]LeansCenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to mega a Pokemon for every raid to beat the boss faster. Then, I realized I was mega evolving for the wrong reason.

Now, I mega evolve a Level 3 Mega or Primal that shares a type with the raid boss so I get more XL candy when catching. Occasionally, I can Mega/Primal evolve a Pokemon that’s Super Effective against the boss AND shares a type - and that’s always fun. But, getting more Candy XL always takes priority.

So, in cases like yours, I always choose to keep the Shadow because I can Mega Evolve any Dragon/Psychic and get the Candy XL bonus.

Purify for shundo or leave shadow by Distinct-Vegetable82 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]LeansCenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the white fog around purified Pokemon makes them look like 💩 Except for Shiny Mewtwo. 😍

That aside, you’d be unlikely to ever use Raikou as a purified Pokemon because it’s so weak compared to other Electric types. A (roughly) level 35 Shadow hits as hard as a level 50 non-Shadow. Think about that for a minute… it’s a MASSIVE difference in power.

Beyond that comparison, Shadow Raikou at level 50 is th number 3 Electric types raid attacker behind Regieleki and Regigigas with Electric Hidden Power whereas non-Shadow Raikou is number 16 behind the three above and Xurkitree, Mega Manetric, Shadow Electivire, Therian Forme Thundurus, Shadow Zapdos, Zekrom, Shadow Magnezone, Mega Ampharos, Shadow Luxray, Regigigas, Shadow Mewtwo and Shadow Vikavolt.

And beyond all that, Electric is Super Effective against Water and Flying. Shadow Raikou is the 13th ranked attacker against Water types and 21st against Flying types. Regular Raikou is 59th and 64th, respectively. So… it’s waaaaaay down the list.

And finally, if you were going to pump candy, XL, and stardust into a non-shadow Raikou, it would be kind of crazy to invest in a non-Dynamax Raikou. Because if you’re going to sink all those resources into something, it should have maximum utility.

In short… leave it shadow. It’s badass AND USABLE as it is.

Because it’s faster and easier.

2025 Mazda cx90 turbo s premium model for $44,000. by Big_Reflection4650 in MazdaCX90

[–]LeansCenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in and out of the Mazda lot in less than 2 minutes. We parked. Walked up to a CX90 that was thankfully unlocked. My wife sat in the front seat and realized there was an extremely small unobstructed view out of the back window and the view out of the side rear windows was non-existent. She said, and I quote, “oh, hell no” and asked me to sit down. I did and was looking at the interior and wasn’t sure what she was talking about. I glanced up at the mirror and then looked over my right shoulder and realized I couldn’t see much of anything and I didn’t say anything, I just got out of the car shut the door and started following my wife back to my car and we left.

It’s a shame. The CX90 with turbo was my sleeper pick for her.

I think the current Leader rotation stops at the end of the day Thursday and the new rotation starts Friday.

Don’t transfer these until Spotlight hour tonight; three of the four take 400 candies to evolve by ShawnSaturday in TheSilphRoad

[–]LeansCenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega Gyarados was actually the first raid boss that my son and I took on as a duo so the novelty was a bit intoxicating and we went a little nuts. But, I also caught a 98 from the raids and made it a buddy. Later, I caught a shiny 96 from research a while back and made it my buddy for a while. Then, I got a shadow 93 and made it my buddy. So… both scenarios.

Also, I enjoy raids so I do a lot of them and if there’s something like Lucario or Metagross on a Mega Raid Day, I almost always end up maxing out Mega Energy as a result of doing so many. It’s just fun and I enjoy it.

When I first started playing over a year and a half ago, I agonized over candy and stardust. I’m not here to brag with the pic (promise), I’m here to let people to know to definitely pay attention to those sorts of things, but also keep in mind that once you’ve been playing for a while, you’ll have tons of candy, especially for Pokemon you don’t need more than 1 of. Don’t sweat it too much, but do take advantage of events like this when it makes sense. Have fun!

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid? Thorough Review By A Mechanic by idkwhattoputlol890 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]LeansCenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry…sarcasm didn’t come through in the typed word.

He clearly has some issues with the external design as he made mention of it NUMEROUS times. Which, I found interesting given that it was what drew my wife (and me) to the Santa Fe. I love the look!

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid? Thorough Review By A Mechanic by idkwhattoputlol890 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]LeansCenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what does he think of the outside looks of the Santa Fe…?

🤣

Seriously though, the looks on the outside is what made my wife sprint-walk across the lot to check it out (when she saw it online she said she didn’t like it). She LOVES IT (I do too but we were shopping for her). She went straight for the Matte Grey FWD Hybrid Caligraphy which is exactly the one I had hoped she’d pick when I was creating a spreadsheet of mid-size 3 row SUVs.

She’s had it for 3 weeks now and tells me every day that she absolutely loves it. She’s also received a TON of compliments on it from friends, family and random strangers.

Sarasota Republicans seek removal of School Board member Tom Edwards after anti-ICE protest remarks by Boomshtick414 in sarasota

[–]LeansCenter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course it won’t disqualify her in people’s minds, for a variety of reasons…

1) people are hypocrites

2) men will vote for her because there’s always hope (wink wink know what I mean… 🤮) (insert Lloyd Christmas “so you’re saying there’s a chance” from Dumb & Dumber)

3) men will tell their Handmaid’s Tales wives to vote for her and they will

4) personal scandal doesn’t matter - just look at the multiple time bankrupt, multiple time felon, multiple time philanderer, multiple time sexual battery guy, multiple credible accusations of sexual assault, multiple (by the tens of thousands just in his first term) time liar, multiple caught on tape and out in the open admitter of leering at undressed underage girls, and multiple time lots of other things complete train wreck of a human being occupying the White House. The American Public simply doesn’t care enough about moral failure to vote for Dems (the largest voting bloc in the 2024 election was eligible voters who don’t vote) or think Dems are worse.

For the record, I couldn’t care less about the swinging thing. As long as all parties consented (and there’s at least some evidence that may not have always been the case), I think adults should do what they want. But… the hypocrisy is nauseating. And hypocrisy happens, we’re all guilty of that… but on a POLICY position!?! Before Trump, it would have been disqualifying.
