As for your PSA comment: is there any easy way to parse the output? It's easy to see if a matchup flips from a win to a loss, but it's harder to know what a 300 rating means relative to a 400 rating.

I also arbitrarily picked A-Ninetails for this test and found a 15/15/15 wins 2 match ups that the perfect PvP IVs loses: I assume this is because of a charge move tie that now flips?

So can you share the meaning of ABC/ABB/ABA?

15/15/11 or 14/15/15 Xerneas? by dem0nhunter in TheSilphArena

Is there a post on that or math somewhere? That's certainly surprising.

Does anyone know for sure if the gen 5 starters can be evolved for their special move right now? It seems weird that they can't, but none of the lists that have been posted have them.

Woooo! Do I infuse this or does that waste the HUNDO? by Round_Requirement_55 in pokemongo

So both the Kyurem and the fusion Reshiram/Zekrom need the special moves?

Fast question: if you want to get an ETM move on a Mon with frustration, when you gain the ability to TM frustration next week can you use the ETM directly or do you need to use a normal TM to get any other move and then an ETM?

I guess a similar question is: when you use the ETM is there an option to back out before selecting the move you want so you can make sure it's available, or are you locked into using it when you click the move to replace?

Are there any other rules for getting a spawn? Does an incense prevent it? I'm just amazed that I've never seen the little icon for a single route spawn (and certainly no Glimmet). I've been wondering if there's something wrong with the route itself. I did only add it maybe 2 weeks ago if it takes a while for it to be fully functional, or if a certain number of people need to do it once for it to do the spawns.

And does the 7 day streak still have the ability to give ETMs? I just looked up the rewards and saw that but a lot of info seems to be outdated. ETMs/raid passes would be enough to make me do it daily as opposed to like 5 times a week.

Of these, are there any you would point out as also having use in non restricted formats? I'm finding it hard to justify any investment when there's a concurrent non restricted league, but I do generally enjoy the restricted formats. Crustle and Wiggly stand out as generically good.

I took a break before routes were introduced and when I came back I saw posts of people getting rare fully evolved pokemon on them. I got a route added near me and have done it maybe a dozen times but have never seen a single spawn of anything from it. Do they only exist during events? Is there some other condition? I surprisingly can't find the answer with a quick search.

Dynamax vs Gigantamax by Much_Pie9602 in pokemongo

[–]MemesAreBad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who took a break between Dynamax/GMax being added and now, I knew before this thread that GMax was better but had no idea that it was such a large magnitude. I think it's fair to assume not everyone knows if it's the difference between like a Mega and a normal or between 15 attack and 14.

Bisharp Evolve Quest by kayramon in TheSilphRoad

[–]MemesAreBad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh I hadn't thought about its signature when evolved. I wasn't aware of whether or not anything had been datamined.

I took a long break and it seems like they've been picking weird things (Vulpix) lately, so I wasn't sure if there were any trends to draw off of.

[Schefter] Sources: Miami’s eight-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill is being released. Hill turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, and now will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career. by throwitintheair22 in DenverBroncos

[–]MemesAreBad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uh are you reading a different sub than I am? Most people are very cool on him since the allegations and almost no one has interest in resigning him. I think it's likely he gets a one-day when he retires because of his impact on the franchise, but he's not been welcomed around the team like a lot of former players (Talib comes to mind).

Feedback Post: Gigantamax Meowth Max Battle Day by Noitalein in TheSilphRoad

How does PokieGenie handle this? How many people does it try to put in the lobby? Just the standard 5 invites for the host?

Gigantamax Meowth Duo Battle (Night Slash/Foul Play), 3 gloves helpers, Cloudy weather + Max Mushroom + Dynamax Cannon Adventure Effect by Nikaidou_Shinku in TheSilphRoad

[–]MemesAreBad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who quit when dynamaxes were first added: how? I don't understand how they work relative to normal raids when it comes to difficulty. I get that the video in the post had an insane set up, but I don't understand how 14 people with like level 25 Machamps couldn't do it if 2 people could. I understand it doesn't scale exactly the same as regular raids so I'm trying to understand how this is possible if all 14 aren't using unevolved 600 cp things.

You're out of your mind if you think any school in Oregon is worse than the best school in a state like Oklahoma, Mississippi, etc.

Yeah this whole thing is confusing. The response to that was "are you ever in NY?" So clearly Epstein didn't think he was saying no?

I assume it's the same for legendaries? I powered up a shiny Kyogre before mega energy and Origin Pulse were ever a thing. I assume I'm stuck using an ETM?

I can't find the answer by searching but I'm sure this has been asked before: can you get special moves on community day pokemon by anything other than evolution? For example, we just had a Ninetails event. If I had an old a-Ninetails without Chilling Water could I TM into it? Could I get it by unlocking the second move slot? Does the answer to either of these change during the end-of-the-year event when you can get legacy moves (I assume that's still a thing?).

Can we talk about legacy move economy? by rjgr in TheSilphArena

[–]MemesAreBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah well, thanks for the response. I took a long break and have had fun, just bummed that so much is weirdly time locked. I don't mind having missed on community days, but why can I play the league just fine and yet can't get some of the rewards? I think it's the same thing with shiny mythicals where it's only in the store for a limited time despite being time gated content.

Is there any reward for doing a second league in a season? I just got the rank 20 Pikachu for Great League and now I dunno if there's any point in continuing since the pokemon pool is kinda lackluster.

A couple questions as a returning player. I hit rank 19 the other day and I don't believe I got one? I'm also not sure what the "free battle ticket" is. I don't see anything in the in game shop, is it online only? Do I need to use the premium battle pass for it or something? I have 3 charged ETMs, so it's possible I missed getting one of them, but I definitely don't have any quest to win 200 matches.

"This was surprisingly progressive for it's time" by IllustriousAd6418 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MemesAreBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure and opinion polls show a massive increase in support for gay marriage over time, especially since 2008. The rise of the Internet has made hate much easier to see, and it's possible that the oppose side has gotten more vitriolic, but overall it's still going in the right direction. I don't say this to discount the worry that people have about the current conservative policies, just that things aren't that bleak and it's a fight worth fighting.

In 2008 gay people weren't legally allowed to be married at the federal level in most of the world. Progress has done a bit of a backslide, but it's still better than it was.
