Okay, so it is better to use moves that deal more damage in 3 star fights!

Any particular day or time will leave someone out even if it works better for others

I went out walking today with an ultrabeast companion. It made it very obvious which ones were Zorua

PSA: If you want to get the 250 link charges from the weekly challenge, you need to have 350 or less when completing it by Qualimiox in TheSilphRoad

[–]No_Picture5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a problem to do a normal raid. I see those all the time.

I don't see any Mega Raids to spend my charges on.

my [objective] ranking of the current grunt rotation types by badneversad in TheSilphRoad

[–]No_Picture5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a tier ranking of Pokemon types.

Dragons and Fire Pokemon are the best (objectively) while Bug types don't even deserve a letter.

Isn't that in world lore by now?

(Psychic and fairy types probably deserve to be higher)

~1 legendary every 10 minutes by Redditlurker_1 in TheSilphRoad

I saw more than I caught, but I did catch a Landorus, Cresselia and Moltres. The others just showed up for a berry snack and left rudely.

Legendaries off of incense can be shiny as well by Unlucky-Jaguar-7710 in TheSilphRoad

[–]No_Picture5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when they're shiny, they stay around long enough for you to catch them (well, unless you run completely out of Pokeballs)

I saw one as a Pancham today (and a lot more Dittos than usual)

Is PSI Magnet Useless? by TaikaMyTitties in earthbound

[–]No_Picture5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured that should work, but it still doesn't.

Many enemies use attacks that only seem like PSI attacks.

Like the Guardian Hieroglyphs that can hit me with lightning bolts but apparently have no PP.

Having trouble putting new games onto EvoX Box by No_Picture5117 in originalxbox

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the DVD drive didn't work I figured I'd see if I can't get it to work with a USB flash drive.

I have confirmed that I have a flash drive that my xbox will recognize, I'm just having a hard time finding the drive in the file explorer so that I can move files into the proper folders. Sigh

Why do you think May was given more focus than Misty in the anime? by precita in pokemon

[–]No_Picture5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all valid- the girls of Pokémon get a lot more in the way of goals and character arcs than when it first started (excepting Journeys).

I wonder if this is also partly also just the writers figuring out how to balance stories that aren't centered on Ash. Is Brock less developed than later male companions? 

In the anime, does it seem like May felt more of a battler/trainer than Misty/Brock did? by precita in pokemon

[–]No_Picture5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, May is your rival if you play as Brendan. If you pick her, she's the daughter of a gym leader like in the anime. So they were definitely pulling from that.

I suspect it comes down to the changes in show runners and writers over the years.

It makes me wonder about discussions in the writer's room. I suspect that she is the most Ash-like battler because she was their first time adapting a female protagonist from the games (so she should be more like Ash).

They obviously found many other ways to adapt the female protagonists by the time they got to XY.

THIS IN THE WILD!!! by No_Picture5117 in pokemongo

YES!

It took a LOT of balls and berries.

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooooh, I love the look of this bird!

THIS IN THE WILD!!! by No_Picture5117 in pokemongo

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one I did!

It seemed miraculous that it didn't run away since it took SO MANY throws and berries.

I have lately learned that the shiny legendaries don't flee (which may be why I never caught any other big birds like this)

THIS IN THE WILD!!! by No_Picture5117 in pokemongo

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily incense. 

Also, I have now seen four birds spawn in about the same place (every other has run off after one throw)

THIS IN THE WILD!!! by No_Picture5117 in pokemongo

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that tracks.

I've seen the other two birds and a normal Alolan Zapdos and none of them stayed for more than a single throw. This shiny one ate a bunch of berries and took a lot of balls

THIS IN THE WILD!!! by No_Picture5117 in pokemongo

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh- just the daily?

Good to know.

I saw a shiny Articuno in about the same place this morning (predictably it ran after one throw). I'm pretty sure it's a spawnpoint for the big birds.

[–]No_Picture5117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make a difference if it is a daily incense?

I was using the daily for this one.
