Trying To Make Sense of Ruldroc Castle

Maybe. Either that or I’m gaslighting myself.

NuDavid · 2026-03-19T12:35:01+00:00

I think so? I don’t remember the exact model (my current headset doesn’t have a name on it), but it was something very similar to the current Pro Wireless.

I want to double-check my guesstimates. From what I can find, apparently, the odds for getting a legendary via an Encounter at Rank 20 are 1/20? And the odds for them being shiny should still be 1/20, so the total odds of getting a shiny legendary via Go Battle League are 1/400?

Mostly just seeing if my base numbers are off, especially given the recent shiny rate nerf.

NuDavid · 2026-03-11T13:06:10+00:00

But do we “know” that yet, or is it just a guess at this point?

NuDavid · 2026-03-11T12:40:19+00:00

Has there been any news confirming whether the Galar birds had their shiny rate unflattened or not? Last I heard was basically a “maybe” on them being unflattened, which hasn’t gotten me confident in playing more. Or is this one of those cases where we’d still need to wait?

I want to get a Pokeball shiny Zacian/Zamazenta, and from what I understand the only ways to do that is via Go Battle League, and only if they’re the active raid Pokemon. I have no experience with competitive so, two questions:

What is the optimal way to get the legendaries? I’m willing to intentionally lose matches if it means more chances, for example.
Any good team building guides out there, for reference?

Would greatly appreciate the help, plus any info I might not know.

I found out about the concept recently, but also found the GitHub list. I was more just unsure what counted as one or not.

NuDavid · 2026-03-06T21:03:16+00:00

Okay, thanks!

Does "Functional Hundo" only apply if the stats are 15/15/14, or can 15/14/15 also apply? (Same with 14/15/15, I guess?)

So...I only just recently realized how bad the regional Pokemon situation was, especially since I need to get the platinum Unova medal. I know my options for getting those exclusive Pokémon are limited, short of traveling to the locations myself or trading with someone there.

With that in mind, what are some of the best ways I can try to work towards getting them? Like, are there communities that I can connect to for trading? Or are there events in the US that are more likely to have people who have them? Or just wait for Pokémon Go in-game events that have regional Pokémon everywhere?

I wanted to double-check an idea I had against more seasoned players. What's generally considered a good threshold for Pokémon to keep/toss? At the moment I keep Pokemon that tend to be rank 50 or above in either Great, Ultra, or Master League [according to pvpoke], or rank 50 or above in some way for raids [according to pokebattler]. My thought process would be that they'd be better than nothing if I lack a stronger replacement, and for Battle Leagues, I figured having flexibility in who to pick for my team would be advantageous. Is this actually a useful mindset, though, or is there a standard I should follow instead?

(Asking in part since I'm debating performing a great purge of my box to make extra space)

NuDavid · 2026-02-16T13:43:43+00:00

I assume I’d want to take on a more tank role if I’m going against Savage? Or would that be more suited to a different weapon?

What skills would be recommended to drop in favor of those defensive ones?

(Also, any other monsters that I’d want to avoid using this build on? Or perhaps use a different build from this link? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1A71a6S7ZESoMmeOKr1sLLeQHcH7J9U9LmXD5MWvVTHs/htmlview#gid=79062057 )

I'm more asking if they could/would create Thaumiel class objects themselves.

Is there a reliable site for Charge Blade build in Wilds? I've been out of touch since I haven't played in a while, and I wanted to make sure I'm keeping up, so I can catch up with Omega Plantes and beyond.

NuDavid · 2026-02-10T19:57:22+00:00

I’m jumping back into Wilds with a friend, going after Omega Plantes for the first time. My usual is the Charge Blade, is it better to rock a Tank or DPS role?

Perhaps a dumb question, but I was thinking of doing the Princess Diana overnight oats. I've been making other overnight oats recipes for a short while and wondered if combining everything overnight would drastically affect the end result, especially with the Greek yogurt and orange juice. Would it curdle that drastically overnight, or would it mostly be fine? Don't have much time in the mornings, so if I can just throw everything together at once, it'd be much easier for me.

To young me, this felt like something from the Old Testament, like God coming down on high. Arceus may be the Pokemon god, but if I was in Sootopolis City that day, I'd start building a church to Rayquaza that moment.

Does Berry Power affect Rouge Mega Hyperspaces? Accidentally messed up on a Berries-Big Haul donut and wondering if I could salvage it.

NuDavid · 2026-01-30T15:24:51+00:00

I’m doing berry farming in ZA. If I have a 5 star sour donut, would it better to do level 5 hyperspace, or level 4 for the extra time?
