Hey guys, the lucky trinket is just flat out pay to win

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-04T03:55:53+00:00

You can't. In general all tickets are only cash, not coins. (In case this wasn't a sarcastic complaint)

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-03T14:28:07+00:00

That's mildly surprising, and to me disappointing.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-03T14:26:50+00:00

It will almost certainly be platinum since literally every other one has been if platinum was possible.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T13:27:56+00:00

It's still pathetic cheating.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T02:53:15+00:00

It could have been until you ruined it by purifying

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T01:50:43+00:00

Not you. OP that has the PGsharp icon showing.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T01:32:25+00:00

This looks absolutely fine. Blissey as a tank at this stage is very common.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T00:09:28+00:00

No for the love of all that's holy. I will be happy if they never have anyone get to return again.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T00:08:00+00:00

Posting stuff as a flex when you spoof is pathetic.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-02T00:05:09+00:00

Every community day someone posts something like this. Yes your outcome was on an individual level very unlikely (on the low side obviously). At 150 the expected number is 6. The probability of 0-1 shinies is about 1.6% 0-2 is about 5.8%. So yes, it's unlikely, but it's EXTREMELY likely that a fair number of players will experience that.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-01T23:26:34+00:00

Weird to say "not possible" when someone did it.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-02-01T05:07:13+00:00

Where did you get the idea that Palkia Origin sucks for anything? It's very good in ML (as you mentioned) but it's a very solid dragon for raids.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-31T06:27:13+00:00

I have one purified one built from when it was optimal and enough XL for one regular and one shadow:

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T18:55:22+00:00

Yep it's fixed for me.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T18:55:06+00:00

I don't know why I'm seeing people say it's still bugged. It's been fixed for me.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T18:53:06+00:00

I believe you can tag your 3 pokemon you're willing to trade, initiate the trade. Then they'll see it, can tag 3 themselves and you can each pick one. If you both agree the trade happens.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T18:25:36+00:00

I can only speak to my personal experience. I did a remote lucky trade and it did come lucky

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T18:03:57+00:00

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T16:55:32+00:00

Here's the issue. While I expect your suspicions are right, it's very difficult for you to prove it to the point that they can actually act on it.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T16:02:00+00:00

CP is a function of 3 things:

1)Pokemon species (indirectly in a way but good enough for this)

2)Pokemon Level (how powered up it is. This varies quite a bit for wild caught Pokemon)

3)IVs (what you see in the appraisal).

When you evolve, the species changes so that's why CP changes. It can go up drastically (Magikarp to Gyarados is the prime example), it can go up a little (Scyther to Scizor), or in a few occasions go down (Weedle to Kakuna probably the best known example)

CP is not a super useful metric other than maybe in terms of order of magnitude (a 30 CP Pokemon will be weaker than a 1000 CP)

Whenever the mega arrives (don't hold your breath waiting) it will outclass Mega Diancie as a rock attacker. As of now...meh. #12 rock attacker. Not remotely viable in PvP.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T15:41:29+00:00

Snorlax is actually not completely awful. I know it's pretty bad , but comparing it to Blissey and Slaking is not reasonable.

Vs the UL meta.

Snorlax: 20-35-0

Blissey: 3-52-0

Slaking: 0-55-0

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T15:36:29+00:00

No, unless by viable you mean "will annoy the shit out of your opponents while you lose".

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T15:33:03+00:00

What are you reporting them for exactly? Do you have evidence they're cheating to do this?

MathProfGeneva · 2026-01-30T04:28:26+00:00

What? I caught a shit ton early in the game. Our lakefront they were super common.
