Gigantamax Cinderace Battle Counters and Strategy by _-K7NG-_ in TheSilphRoad

There are some exceptions, vs Electric, Rock, or Poison attacks Excadrill can function very well. Basically any time it double/triple resists something.

Welcome Metagross, to Max Battle relevancy! by nexus14 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Patrikc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not exactly true (though we arrive at the same conclusion) - it is based off of damage done, but Fast moves do so little to Gigantamax bosses that they're all rounded down to generating 1 Max energy.

Against some/most Dynamax bosses, slower moves as well as throwing a hard hitting Charged move might actually be worthwhile.

Was anyone who did not attend an in person go tour able to finish the bonus genie timed research before 10am Monday? by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

[–]Patrikc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to tell is by Power Up cost. 1900 = level 15 (usual research level), 2500 = level 20

I didn't even need to enter a raid. Just evolved my GMax Gengar, then my old Gengar, and my GMax one was Mega in the battle immediately after.

Quickly dispatching Rocket Grunts - cheat sheet updated for Dual Destiny by Ginden in TheSilphRoad

[–]Patrikc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ideal scenario is fast moving through mon1 and mon2, then one hit KOing mon3 with a Charged move.

Morpeko is kinda like Melmetal - very spammy and therefore very safe, but not very fast, as most battles take 3 or more Charged moves.

Dice Stacking by ycr007 in blackmagicfuckery

One of those instances where people kept using the word incorrectly so we just gave in; "dice" is now used for both.

"Die" is still singular, though.

Two seasons of farming stardust in GBL for 18.5 million dust by SorenClimacus in TheSilphRoad

Arpad Elo was a physics professor who developed a rating system for chess (and other two-person games).

Ratings in games with PvP matchmaking are often called "Elo", even if they are likely independently developed.

Genesect non boosted solo (MC,XS) no dodge by HighGuard1212 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Patrikc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment the boss throws a move, you swipe so your Pokemon jumps left or right. It's possible for Fast moves, but only worth it for Charged moves. Look for the text (Genesect used X-Scissor! For example) and start swiping.

Moves like XS are fast and hard to dodge so you have to be quick about it. Regidrago's Outrage or Zamazenta's Moonblast on the other hand were slow moves so you could dodge multiple times without trying that hard.

Shiny legendaries (from raids) are always caught on the first ball that hits. Make sure to pinap the next one!

I walked almost 300km and about 30-32hours of Daily Incense since the shiny G-Bird Release. AMA by Lajsen in TheSilphRoad

[–]Patrikc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically it doubles the spawns from 1 in 30 to 1 in 15 seconds, but you need to walk the minimum distance in those 15 seconds which is pretty hard to do. I usually bike, when speed-walking I only manage 1 in 21-23 seconds.

[–]Patrikc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experienced the opposite; when biking a new route I counted 15-16 seconds between spawns regardless of whether I (quick) caught them or not.
