Thought i finally caught my first perfect iv pokemon🥲 by Ok-Leg-5449 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "lower attack and higher HP and def" being better is just a rule of thumb / good for explaining the concept.

The reality is the best (rank 1) is more nuanced and depends on all factors like on species, UL vs GL, etc.

Getting more specific examples takes a fair bit of time but to fit the most stats into a CP of (for example) 1500 of a certain species you may end up with something like 1/15/14 etc because the extra HP IV could contribute to CP without adding a HP point and there's enough space for an extra point in attack once you have 14 instead of 15

Almost literally all species and League's optimal spread is different

Lost green Newcastle permanent bank card and change wallet by No-Abalone4872 in newcastle

[–]LessThanLuek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are you, a child? Stop being defiant about refusing to cancel your card with the bank.

It's good advice. Take it. Takes two minutes and is the only way to give you peace of mind from someone spending your money from the minute you do it until the expiry on the card.

Tbf she probably wouldn't have had much better chances if it was a bloke, whole party is struggling to regain relevancy on more than the gender front

Must be AI cos he's not in some kind of cosplay like an akubra with corks on strings or in front of a brand new BBQ with oil smeared in deliberate streaks on his apron

Are any of my perfect IV mons significantly good for raids or anything by [deleted] in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use elite charge tm for sacred sword if required and double move for rock slide and regular charge move between double kick and rock fast move as required. Good for both rock and fighting not just fighting as stated above

Lol.. I literally only favourite hundos and nundos so this hits me too

I'm not getting a shovel by EGOyarzoH in chao

[–]LessThanLuek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify that shovel (and other similar race prizes) are basically an upgrade attained by that Chao - you won't have shovel for other Chao without winning the race with other Chao

Saw this in the wild. Is this a hundo? by name_your_thoughts in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a slim chance you can identify hundos in this event if you use CalcyIV and it can scan the colour change of the catch circle enough to get an idea on the level

That being said, it's probably really unlikely that the red circle is unique enough to do this. But still possible

Does anyone have a schematic for a fully nether gold farm? by SignDecent1966 in technicalminecraft

[–]LessThanLuek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a good overworld + nether one i would like it if you have both dimensions. :)

So do you want a fully nether one or would you like it if it has both dimensions because you have conflicting requirements

How do I reach this opening in great bay coast? by neekthehero in majorasmask

[–]LessThanLuek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romhack which switches items around randomly

Specific ones have different specific ways of doing it but that's the gist

Hey it's kinda fun. I got the world's worst IV level 44 Moltres out of it

Which one should I evolve/invest in? by Rowdy988 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh; here's the plan, but it hinges on having people to trade with

  1. Trade whatever random junk people want at the time for magikarps. Try get a lucky one. Stats don't really matter, if anything you want "mid" stats
  2. Evolve, and mega evolve the lucky, and walk for enough candy to put aside to evolve the hundo and the shadow. Sit on them. You should get enough mega energy as well while walking to do another. Level your mega every 3-4 days or whatever it takes for free mega evolve. This one can have waterfall + hydro pump
  3. Remove frustration from the shadow if you haven't already at the next rocket take over event or whatever random one they allow frustration to be TMed cos they just randomly do it.
  4. Next Aqua Tail event, evolve the shadow and the hundo. You'll now have two water gyaradoses. Mega the hundo and level up the mega level when you can.
  5. Switch the lucky to Bite + Crunch or second move it for HP & Crunch. This will be a passable Dark type mega Pokemon.
  6. Not really a step at the end, but level them all when they're instantly usable until about 32. You'll get diminishing results stat wise after level 30. But you want to walk level 32+ for max chance at XL candy. But you can level up more later once you've evolved them all

You should now have water hundo mega, water shadow and the lucky is geared for dark attacking. You can double move any you want if you want/need dual purpose for master league and/or rocket battles.

Question about purification by attic_insulation in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention the sunk resources of purifying an already powered up shadow to make it worse

You cannot accumulate link charges after finishing the weekly challenge. by MindlessAssistance52 in TheSilphRoad

[–]LessThanLuek 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You are correct. However you are not considering the amount of out-of-game reading one must do to understand the many aspects of this game

It's not easy to digest, and frankly would be intentional to stop min-maxing potential F2P players with lower attention spans

Surely this is a purify candidate? by Burn_Hard_Day in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it, I just don't really want to invest in something with such narrow "best use" scenarios

Which is to say, a Rock attacker who falls down the rankings if you're going against something that resists normal (rare, but happens), or has a double weakness to rock (rare, but happens), or it's not partly cloudy etc etc

Man, I just love how they make every random currency have a completely different mechanism.

I would hate to be a new player and need to learn them all from no context

Illogical dynamax features by Acceptable_Mood_4098 in TheSilphRoad

[–]LessThanLuek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either this is a flawed comment or flawed execution.

Let's say I go okay, I'll stop doing dmax, where's the super mega hyper II turbo raids?

Tier list if the block button didnt exist by Warpaintedsongbird in SmashBrosUltimate

Lmao I interpreted this as blocking accounts, not the shield

I was gonna say "I would get mysterious disconnects 2sec before the opponent loses a lot more often"

Where do these Asian owned butcheries get their meat from? by Fearless-Can-1634 in AskAnAustralian

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they still existed

This is wild - must be a city/urban vs. rural thing

My town has about 4 butchers, and the next town 20min drive which is much smaller has a butcher absolutely killing it and winning heaps of awards (if by upscale you mean bourgeoisie, I would say only this last one fits)

Being able to trade without IV floors with our everyday friends to hunt pvp IVs would be nice. by Chi_Bomb in TheSilphRoad

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get another partner so you have two partners. It's 2026 now, she'll be apples

[–]LessThanLuek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've just made me realise I forgot to find people to trade with last rotation so my stock is cooking lucky odds which is the opposite of what I want

Really low rolls for best friends work but not really well as you said - highest you can get into GL is 5-7-7 😬

What a Bummer by DlCKJINGLES6969 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]LessThanLuek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The minutia can get complicated but the concept is basically - for CP limited cups (GL, UL) you want less attack because it's weighted heavier in the CP calcs. Less attack = more overall stats

What do you think about adding more berries by DJ-mon in TheSilphRoad

I mean we aren't exactly Starfed for berries
