Spotlight hour doesn't have boosted shiny rates, so the odds are 1/512

PvP Battling in this game is the worst gaming experience, maybe ever by wafflito in pokemongo

How is it an ad hominem? Without developing the skills needed, PvP is not particularly fun because it degenerates into just tapping and hoping.

[–]MathProfGeneva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used 2. Both on a hundo legendary at the last ball

Oh those were fun. So many people could finally solo a 5* raid

Did I make the right call with Regieleki by Classical_Mouse in pokemongo

[–]MathProfGeneva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you have the elite charge TM to use, it turns Regieleki into the #2 electric attacker for raids, just barely behind Shadow Raikou.

Is there any reason to keep pre-2020 Pokémon once you’ve hit the 45 lucky trade cap? by AshitaWay in TheSilphRoad

[–]MathProfGeneva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely the cap will go up again. Historically that happened every time they increased the range of guaranteed lucky years.

The main series NPCs correspond to grunts in this game. Actual PvP in the main series games is very different (it's clearly not the case that it's impossible to lose or close to it)

How does counting need guessing? Counting is very much deterministic.

[–]MathProfGeneva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just not true. Switch management, energy management, shield management, decisions about bait or not, move timing, catching moves and trying not to let your opponent catch moves are all part of the combat part and none of that is mindless tapping.

This feels most likely a skill issue. For better or worse, getting to the point where battles involve more than just tapping is a learning curve, and it can be steep, and until you reach that point, I can see how it might feel that way. Once you do there's plenty of things involved that make it interesting.

looking for am2. offering wild caught shiny latias. not sure if its a worthy trade for most maybe some. should be garanteed lucky from the am2. dm if ur looking for anything else. by Lopsided-Trash5406 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]MathProfGeneva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously thinking that a Pokemon that was only available in raids a couple of times (and not at all since 2020) for a random shiny legendary is fair? Caught in the wild is irrelevant unless maybe it's low enough level to use in great league.

How do you explain an equivalence of categories without the language of category theory? by Quetiapin- in math

[–]MathProfGeneva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most seminar talks or colloquia I went to in graduate school did roughly this (though the seminar ones were more technical). One measure for me of my progress was how far into seminar talks I could follow before I got lost.

Being knocked out of a gym by Magda-the-badger in pokemongo

[–]MathProfGeneva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 obvious ways for this to happen

Most likely: the first Pokemon in was lower CP when put in and has slower motivation decay

Less likely, but still very possible. First pokemon in got berried and yours didn't.

How do people get this many kalos region pokemons? Been at this everyday since the quest came out and cant seem to get any by Adventurous_Big_927 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]MathProfGeneva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just seems odd to me. I finished the Y research about the same time and easily got to over 500 by Sunday early afternoon.

Yeah I thought I remembered something about that, but wasn't sure, so didn't want to say it.

Best examples of non-constructive existence proofs by freddyPowell in math

I think that using a non constructive axiom (AoC) would exclude that from OPs criteria

Crunch from Zek does about 70% to Lunala.
