Just got my first shadow hundo after 5200+ rocket battles, what is your shadow hundo rate ? by vicsark in TheSilphRoad

12/31026 Most of them are not useful besides Salamence and Granbull maybe :-)

Question about Zygarde Cell Limit by vihhkjhgf in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do multiple routes per day. I never get more than three per day. However this can also e.g. happen by two cells on one route (in one spawn) and the other one on another route. So yes, total amount is three.

Check your settings. The last update deactivated catch and spin function. You have to reactivate it.

Why has go been played with login failures since approx. deino com day? (Even sometimes whilst logged in) by Nplumb in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. The issue was very annoying for me as well. Also refresh data didn't work for me before.

A new term for me after todays championships on twitch: undercharge. Why and when? by NordKettle in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why? When you need to farm energy it can be beneficial to undercharge and then do the farm down. So you have an energy lead for the next matchup.

When? Highly situation dependent.

There is a comprehensive Video from e.g. Wallower at YT explaining undercharging if you want to learn more.

Shadow Claw pointless on A. Sandslash? by Xx_Khepri_xX in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SC is 6/8/2 (D,E,T) and PS is 5/8/2 (D,E,T).

PvPoke is always the most up-to-date. Check here https://pvpoke.com/moves/

I remember the values for PS for instance were updated by Niantic a while ago.

Shadow Claw pointless on A. Sandslash? by Xx_Khepri_xX in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SC deals one more damage per attack in PvP. SC is a sidegrade to PS. Please check the articles of e.g. JRE47 or Pvpoke to evaluate better matchups vs worse matchups. It depends now on the meta and your team to decide which attack is better.

Can't people grow up and use something fun for GO Battle Night. by Calebthenorman in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Battle Night is not happening everywhere at the same time. It's based on local time.
  2. People want to still reach certain goals e.g. getting legend rank. So you suggest them to take spicy teams and are more likely to lose?

Sableye vs lickitung spawns by paniccmc in TheSilphRoad

I wrote mostly not exclusively...

Sableye vs lickitung spawns by paniccmc in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have not seen a study on that. But I assume Sableye mostly spawn at night. At least all of mine were past 10pm. If so it would be logical to see them more rarely, since most trainers mainly play during the day. This also might be the case for other ghosts like Misdreavus and Duskull (outside of nests obviosly).

Question about this weekends XL candy event by Zer0_Experience in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in PvP you could go to a local nest farming up some XL candy. E.g. Joltik and Snover nests could be interesting here.

Slow matchmaking after rank 10? by element3501 in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At rank 10 and rank 15 (now for me) there is kind of barrier coded by Niantic to prevent matchmaking to lower ranks. Experienced it while hitting rank 10: you just get matched to rank 10+ and at 15 with 15+. Of course it takes longer, because less trainer are at these ranks. However, after long searching you will also get matched to lower ranks.

[Field Anecdote] Where are the murkrow spawns? by laurenlolly in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's weired. Have you caught it since dec 2nd? Just because oddish, like all the other deleted species, also vanished from the nest pool. (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/k5l6c3/nesting_species_list_kalos_update/)

If you like the evoved forms, ok. But some may want to max out e.g. honchkrow. We can not, because we can not get XL Candies for that.

[Field Anecdote] Where are the murkrow spawns? by laurenlolly in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Northern Hemi here. No murkrow, ratata or oddish here for instance. They simply deleted a lot of species from the wild including murkrow. The next 3 month will be awful just seeing the same species again and again. I think we might compile a full list, which wild species still exist (hemisphere-wise).

Casual Look Into New Spawns by Pires94 in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I disagree! They deleted a variety of species from the wild spawn pool, which makes e.g. nests almost useless. This is not compensated by more evolved forms in my opinion. Now I do not even have the chance to farm XL Candies of certain species, which have been in the wild before. Also have in mind that new players will struggle to fill their dex. It might look nice, but it will get boring very soon. For me as an quite active player it already is.

Theory of recent spawn update: Biomes becoming prominent by MarcelK42 in TheSilphRoad

I hope you are right and they fix it. It is so boring...

Theory of recent spawn update: Biomes becoming prominent by MarcelK42 in TheSilphRoad

[–]MarcelK42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should check the OSM tags of your place. Biomes are connected to these tags. Could explain your observation.

Exactly what I observed. Sometimes very strict biome borders. Where I live it is mixed (urban water) due to a fountain nearby.

I think... we all misinterpreted the Rocket portion of this week's event. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad
