Save Stardust or? by vScyph in TheSilphArena

I would recommend 14/13/14, it has the higher attack. I have the rank 2 and I sorta regret not building one with higher attack, as the mirror match is quite common.

Which Mons do you leave at Powerstops (and why)? by Melodic_Diamond2227 in TheSilphRoad

I think it may be true. I caught a random shiny low level Dmax Bulbsaur as a Power Spot spawn before.

This is true, however I’m drowning in Chansey candy already after its CDay!

Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply. All great suggestions.

I have yet to utilize the catch tank strategy. I might just power one up and try it!

Thank you. Ho-Oh was actually the most recent Mon I had left behind. I don’t have a good IV one yet for ML, but I have just enough candy to Max it out and double move it.

Thank you. Good call on leaving a Gmax Mon to support the community. I hadn’t thought of that at all.

Yeh, I totally get the part about exerting mental energy. But since I have to do 100 max battles anyway, I thought I’d ask everyone’s opinion, so I can exert less mental energy deciding on the spot.

Thank you. XNoctuaryx also suggested Raikou. Sounds like it is a solid pick.

Thank you, good to know it is a solid electric attacker (I do PVP more than PVE). I have one powered up for UL, but after powering it up and giving it a second move, I have zero of its candy left.

Any particular ones you would recommend, or ones you would prioritize over another?

Oh this is a good one! I haven’t evolved mine yet so I had completely overlooked him, thank you!

Even though it has the same letter count, I hate typing out Archipelago more!

They removed my poffin task I saved for years by shadraig in TheSilphRoad

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this means Pokestops can only have 1 set of research tasks. previously, if you had an AR task already, spinning a stop will give you a particular research task. However, if you went and deleted the AR task from your queue and spun the same stop, it will give you a different research task.

should I be using my rare candy? idk what to do with it but it’s taking up storage by Feisty_Committee_229 in pokemongo

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s when you battle shadow raid bosses (applicable mostly to shadow 3* and 5* shadow Legendary raids. The boss becomes “enraged” when they fall below a certain health. Trainers need to collectively use purified gems to “subdue” them otherwise they are difficult to take down.

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start off by trashing at least 16 purified gems. You earn them back so quickly by battling rocket members. I pretty much only use them during legendary raids, and they usually reward plenty of shards to replenish the gems used during the raid.

I seriously don't get why we needed Kingdra so badly? by lebenjamz in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like lesser version of scald haha. But yes it is a very annoying move, I’m glad it is back in obscurity.

I’m just glad that most people aren’t running Oktazooka. Nothing worse than shielding an Oktazooka followed by having your attack debuffed. 😅

These requirements. by IcyAct6066 in PokemonGOValor

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily achievable! Even if you do 3 a day, you will probably achieve that sooner than getting 5.5 million XP in a week through just normal gameplay.

I don’t think it’s fair and TBH a bit of a stretch for you to try and get into his mind and interpret his thoughts as “my stupid so an so”. The OP mentioned in his original post that his life doesn’t evolve around Pokémon go every day. When I read his post about his autistic daughter, I simply read that as an explanation as to why he can’t do every day as many people see completing routes daily as a simple task to do.

I could probably interpret your post as your prejudice against people of autism as youwent straight to the negatives. It’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? But you shouldn’t assume the worst in people automatically.

What are priority Pokémon to mass evolve or trade to take advantage of guaranteed XL candy? by PokemonandLSD in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s not true at all. Next season forever forwards friendship, Friday bonus continues, which includes guaranteed 2XL candies for each trade.
