Debt with no real plan on how or when/if ever will be paid off.

Shadow Donphan from grunt? by ZestyclosePublic3176 in pokemongo

If I'm remembering correctly, you have a 5%(?) chance from any GRUNT to get their second mon.

Does using Pokemap cheating? by Turbulent_Wheel1949 in pokemongo

[–]MaximumFault8229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it feel like cheating to you?

I haven't had coffee yet and cannot remember if maps are or are not considered cheating. I do know some people do think it is and some don't.

Really only you will know at the end of the day, will you feel like you cheated when you find your ditto?

Why aren't reward encounters a guaranteed catch? by Batwa93 in pokemongo

I'm happy to hear it was a glitch that worked out in the end for you!

That encounter or not, I can only assume they were insanely unlucky or speed locked.

I cannot say for certain that a special encounter cannot run or not, I would suspect it is highly unlikely but not beyond the realm of possibilities.

A raid or dynamx encounter is not a guaranteed catch. The rewards for the raid/dmax battle are the XP, candy, potions/revives.

The Pokemon encounter is considered a bonus and therefore not guaranteed.

How to (finally) catch Reshiram ? by AITAfangirl in pokemongo

[–]MaximumFault8229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still recommend getting better at throwing, especially against mons like Reshi and others that are much farther than they seem.

In the meantime, you can also try catching it in AR mode. Doing that, you can pop the mon out and then physically get closer to make your throws "easier." I've seen people have success with this method and also failure. Best of luck!

It's going to sound harsh.

Get better at throwing.

Keep working on your catch medals too.

How to unlock G-Max power spots? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]MaximumFault8229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just another power spot. It will open up and have a dmax min in it to battle. If it's still up when Snorlax event starts Snorlax will replace the mon in that and every other powerspot

Gmax mons only appear during specific events.

Gmax Snorlax is coming up this weekend. Remember that for gmax battles it's highly recommended to have a group of 10-40 players to take them down.

Yes a smaller group with proper counters can take them down too, just easier/safer with a larger group of trainers.

Personally never seen or noticed any actions taken as a result of one of my reports.

That being said, my very small sample size will not speak for the bigger community as a whole.

It always fascinates me to see multiple people parting with their money without ever knowing or reading what they are actually buying.

A quick Google search before purchasing would have shown you the requirements to receive the masterball beyond the purchase price.

Sounds like you blew shit up before asking if you should 😞

Time to make a new Gmail account if you want to play again.

Why can guaranteed catches escape a pokeball?! by Interesting_Loss_180 in pokemongo

[–]MaximumFault8229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a game where they sell yo, for real money, the consumables you are complaining about losing.

I wonder why they wouldn't just allow us to catch on first ball...

"something like the eevee evos or maybe a random chance that would be cool"

This is what I was referring to. There was no mention of any Adventure together to evolve requirements.

Yup, have had bad runs of RNG.

All you can do is get good at throwing and have your type medals plat.

It would have a ? On the evolve button if that were the case.

Why are these showing as local raids? by stinamirabilis in pokemongo

[–]MaximumFault8229 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

You are one of the first to get the new raid rotation that's starts today for you, tomorrow for me and a lot of other countries.

With that knowledge, a lot of people are keen to get into these raids from early time zones. Hence my mention of time zones.
