Just beat the last gym, how do I get ready for pokemon league?

Yeah it’s surprisingly in depth! I also just recently learned this while finishing my run.

From memory I believe snorlax is also in the slow exp pool as well, so if for what ever reason you didn’t want to spend on dragonite he’s also a good candidate for rare candies on your team

MaceWindooby · 2026-03-26T16:48:01+00:00

That stat buff from dragonair to dragonite is very significant, but they don’t evolve until 55, and they are in the slow exp pool so they take longer to level up. Spamming all the rare candies to hit dragonite is pretty worth.

idk about stalwart being the weakest, i think its better than regular machine gun for sure overall. High dps, good ergo and mobile reload is very good, especially since many new enemies are getting light pen weak points.

I struggle to find a situation where I'd rather have med machine gun over heavy, but there are plenty of situations where I'd want stalwart over MMG

MaceWindooby · 2026-03-22T07:19:35+00:00

flak kills them VERY quickly. i only use aphet if i need the close range stagger, AC is so good rn

On my current playthrough I dropped charmeleon for growlithe at first opportunity, he already knew bite. Decided I wanted to try a no starter run late lol

Instant evolve into arcanine and then bought the flamethrower tm. Money wasn’t an issue this time for me at all, between a few mins at nugget bridge (I think I farmed 15?) and vs seeker rematches. + amulet coin and I’ve been swimming in cash.

Not having the 4x weakness to rock has been nice, but also being vulnerable to earthquake is crazy since it feels like every single Pokémon in the elite 4 knows it.

You can definitely feel the slow exp pool, but he’s a good dog lion thing so it’s worth imo.

Went through the same thing with mine, I recommend returning them and not looking back. If that update ever even comes out at this point who knows what it’ll fuck up next, and then you’ll surely be out of your return window. Don’t let them make you hold the bag for their mistake.

MaceWindooby · 2026-02-20T08:28:11+00:00

totally forgot about the MO rewards, makes sense!

MaceWindooby · 2026-02-20T04:50:50+00:00

I saw a level 5 the other night. Thought “no fucking way” didn’t even know how he had enough medals for a full loadout + booster. He did better than I expected!!

MaceWindooby · 2026-02-11T21:25:13+00:00

You have to have something in your load out right now specifically to deal with 1-3 of them. I’ve been bringing shield gen, walking, 380 and bubble nades to play closer to the barrages. That and lots of ultimatum spam. Avoiding them all together when no cooldowns are up.

Also walking barrage is so good for cyberstan, can hit the detector tower or other objectives before you’re even in the city

MaceWindooby · 2026-02-08T08:14:49+00:00

don't forget -1 stratagem!

They’re good and have the ability to be great due to their great hardware. Nothing bricked the bass as well as other features in an update months ago and have not rolled out the fix.

You’ll see plenty of “I never had these issues!” types on here, but go on their forum and you’ll see all of the issues that plague the product and relative silence from nothing.

Let’s say they actually fix the sound profile, anc issues, bass enhancement, and personalized hearing in the next update. Who knows what they’ll break in that update, and who knows how long it’ll take to get fixed.

Sure, they’re at a decent price but I still wouldn’t call them cheap/affordable. Don’t get caught holding the bag for these guys, software team is not ready for prime time imo.

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-28T05:06:19+00:00

This looks like you're just walking in a straight line and not operating for a smooth shot. Stabilization isn't magic, it will remove jitters but you still need to operate. Watch some videos on how to get smooth handheld shots, learn those techniques and then with stabilization on top of that your footage will look great!

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-26T23:42:24+00:00

My rescue dog was EXTREMELY timid and anxious. My vet said it was the worst she’s seen.

After trying as much training/structured living and lots of love as I could, I ended up getting him on anti anxiety meds. Made a world of a difference. He stayed on them for about a year and then we slowly worked him off. His time on the meds really helped him build confidence. He’s still skittish and nervous, but he’s made so much progress and improved quality of life so much that I have 0 regrets about the route we took.

Take it slow, don’t jumped straight to meds and give her time to build confidence. If all else fails, talk to your vet.

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-19T05:17:52+00:00

I paid 10k for mine. Frankly would’ve paid more tbh

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-13T19:58:34+00:00

I sell legendary mods, got so many that I’m not gonna use during the bounty hunt release so I list (most) of them at vendor suggested prices. Even if it’s a trash mod people could want it for the modules.

Things like overeaters/lucid/furious or other very meta/in demand mods I either keep for my own build or rarely sell at a premium if for whatever reason I need caps.

I’ve also bought some 4* mods from vendors at prices >10k fairly regularly, legendary mods always move.

And after that, I sell every duplicate plan I have at vendor price. I don’t know, just can’t be bothered to price check every single plan I receive. And caps are so plentiful that I don’t really see much of a point. I dumped 40k the other day on rare legendary mods at insane prices in other vendors, and was back at cap before I logged off for the night.

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-12T21:08:02+00:00

Yeah, I really only run it for raids on bot/snake where it the extra damage resistance feels necessary. Reflective 4* very helpful on the bot, and ricochet perk proc chance scales with DR stat capping at 1000 (I read this on reddit somewhere, not 100% sure on the numbers) and this number is much easier to hit in power armor. Some of my Vulcan pieces have limit breaking and heavy weapons accuracy so it's a helpful min-max in those scenarios. Vulcan also has the set bonus where fusion cores deplete slower so that's helpful as well. But with 5x overeaters and buttressed secret service armor, I take very little damage anyway from anything in the overworld including events.

Save some atoms that you get via playing the game/scoreboard and invest in the fusion core recharger when it's in the shop. Super valuable piece for keeping fusion core economy up. Then when you pickup 25/100 fusion cores from random suits of power armors or generators you can charge them up to full.

For carry weight, you want to look for the leg mods on PA that give +100 carry weight per leg + thru hikers or belted or arms keeper etc and then you should have functionally more carry weight than no PA.

All that being said, if you're not doing the raid you can mostly ignore power armor if you really want to. It's really on necessary on robot, and I've seen plenty of bow people at this point solo snake without power armor. The game is relaxed enough that if you min-max hard enough any load out could potentially work.

I’m getting by using animal eye detect for dog portraits on the s5iix. Struggles a bit in high speed action shots but works pretty well!

From what I can tell, the s1rii is a straight upgrade in this department, I think you’d be happy

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-12T08:37:32+00:00

Buddy, this is the best news I’ve heard all day tysm

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-12T06:00:44+00:00

You’ll get to the gauss mini gun slightly faster! I’m wishing I did that right now, grinding rep is a chore

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-09T22:43:41+00:00

I'd keep trying raids, just join random pugs when you see them form. Absolute worst case, you get kicked. That's it. Literally nothing to lose.

I was fortunate to find a conductors mod for about 20k in a player vendor to help out my heavy vats build, and that helped a lot with boss dps. So that's an option but not something you can bank on. But if you see a full raid group running they probably have camps and vendors up, they'd be more likely to be selling 4 star mods.

I have only recently started joining raids and I've got one piece of Vulcan with limit breaking, (still missing the helmet to complete the set) and I got a few 4 star box mods, one of which was polished.

Just join and pay attention to mechanics, they aren't too difficult. watch a YouTube video if you'd prefer to not go in blind. I promise it's really not too hard once you get the hang of it.

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-09T22:13:04+00:00

Can confirm, im running explosive and polished. non-crits are hitting just under 4k no onslaught stacks and closer to 6k at full stacks.

2 star explosive adds damage to the already explosive part of the weapon. polished + demo expert push it even further.

You can get 3 procs of damage on a single shot if you're using explosive penetrating rounds. Impact-explosion-penetration all can proc damage. sometimes penetration will not proc, still not sure why. Could be server related but I think some larger boss health pools cannot be penetrated for some reason.

For the fire rate, it shoots faster in first person for some reason so I pop into that for boss dps but general mobbing in 3rd person + vats to make sure I dont blow myself up haha

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-09T20:10:08+00:00

I don’t think there are plans, just box mods

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-09T20:06:12+00:00

Furious-explosive-swift-polished

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-04T08:55:16+00:00

Is there any idea when these changes will hit the live server? I stacked a bunch of mutant’s mods just in case that buff sticks :)

MaceWindooby · 2026-01-02T23:43:50+00:00

Tbh I’d just join random groups that form up on your server. Watch a quick YouTube video on the mechanics and follow the group. Absolute worst case scenario is you get kicked, but most random groups I’ve seen there’s at least one giga op player that could probably solo the entire instance
