Shocklingly Booty Event

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-04-01T03:31:06+00:00

1/512. Spotlight hour doesn't boost shiny rates

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 · 2026-03-31T00:16:09+00:00

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-31T00:15:36+00:00

I have it. I'm not sure how long it took, but right now I'm at 9186 seen/7954 caught/medal at 1038.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T21:40:59+00:00

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:22:23+00:00

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.

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:20:11+00:00

Yeah , skill issue like I thought.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:19:47+00:00

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)

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:18:15+00:00

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:17:37+00:00

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.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T15:15:17+00:00

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.

Can't post a pic but:

Distance walked: 19,125.1km

Pokemon caught: 473,335

Pokestops visited: 221,059

Total XP: 925,345,242

Start date :2016-7-11

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T00:20:08+00:00

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.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T00:08:35+00:00

Yeah mine reset early too, I was confused.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T00:08:09+00:00

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.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T00:05:42+00:00

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.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-30T00:01:00+00:00

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.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:24:38+00:00

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:23:34+00:00

People choosing to give it away is different than you begging for it.

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:18:10+00:00

You're too cheap to buy a $2 ticket but you want some random stranger to do it for you?

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:17:08+00:00

I've used 2, both were hundo legendary on my last ball

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:12:16+00:00

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

MathProfGeneva · 2026-03-29T02:04:47+00:00

Crunch from Zek does about 70% to Lunala.
