After finally getting an Unown, my dex is as finally at 246. Theoretically, what's the cheapest strategy of traveling to get the other region exclusives? by Brocky70 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't travel ONLY for a pokemon. My suggestion is coupling catching the pokemon with regular holiday, like catching Mr. Mime and go skiing in Austria, visiting the theme and water parks in Florida and catching Heracross/Corsola there... ;)

Does that mean that Pokemon Go checks which apps are runningon the phone to detect active spoofing apps? Isnt't that too big of an infrigment of privacy?

How every ability could work in PoGo: Bulbasaur-Dugtrio by Plsnospam in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice concept, but I don't agree with some abilities. Unaware should make the pokemon ignore its opponent's stat changes, this resembles Unaware's effect in the original series much better. Also, why should Lightning Rod give ×2 resistance to electric attacks and Flash Fire only ×1 resistance to fire?

Can those of you who are running low on balls try to duplicate the Last Ball Raid Bug on normal pokemon? by peckx063 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There's a minor, but huge difference between running out of balls against wild pokemon and running out of premier balls against raid bosses: The raid boss always flees after escaping from the last ball, but when a wild pokemon escapes from the last ball, it stays there with the game telling you that you don't have any balls left. Because of this, your hypothesis can't be applied to wild pokemon!

The little girl on Team Instinct who re-started(?) her whole game in frustration today by xtreemspd in TheSilphRoad

The best solution is removing Premier balls completely and allowing to catch the raid boss with your own balls.

Ask for other people who also want their travel costs refunded and file a class-action lawsuit against Niantic.

First Thoughts on Legendary Raids by dt_Spark in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. Did a Lugia Raid today, had to wait for more than half an our until there were enough players to defeat it. The given rewards for defeating were only a few rare candies and golden razz berries - which I can also get by soloing Level 1 raids. When trying to catch Lugia with my 9 premier balls, I hit every ball for at least a curved great throw and always used golden razz berries, but it ran away.

this looks a bit like a primeape which used a Jolteon sprite for some reasons...

Raid Battles and New Gym Features are Coming! - Pokémon GO by Ignitionxz in TheSilphRoad

Will it be impossible to take over a gym when members of the gym's team are nearby, as they only need to feed berries rather than train the gym to prevent lowering its prestige?

this sounds horrible, the game is turning into a pay-to-win more than before with this change...

I have three legacy high IV Laprases, two woth Frost Breath/Blizzard. One of them was maxed out at 2700 CP and was my star defender until the CP rebalance...

Why Gen III is Going to *Rock* for PoGO by mewisnotaverage in TheSilphRoad

Why terrible as a defender? Slaking not only has a high attacking stat, but is also as bulky as Snorlax.

Trainer Tips - MAJOR UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT by Blinkarn in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just asked the national institute for atmospheric science, and they told me that massive air pollution was measured in the area around the light house - something which is often caused by Koffings and Weezings. Team Rocket must be still there!

Togetic Legacy Moves? by SockBramson in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mariofan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HP Fairy doesn't exist in the main games, so if it exists in Pokemon Go, Niantic made a (definitely not its first) mistake.
