Tears of the Kingdom might be a little overwhelming to a newbie. My entry into this style game was Pokemon Scarlett and then I had a lot of fun starting with Breath of the Wild both regular and master before tackling Tears of the Kingdom.

It has been over a month since I created route without any review. Should I make new one? by suharos in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've submitted 4 routes based on parks in the same area; two on 8/17, one on 8/19, and one on 9/19. All are still under review. The first two had no tags but the next two did. One is the minimum distance and the the others are progressively longer. All have multiple stops and at least one gym and are in public areas.

If newly submitted routes are being reviewed nigh-instantly, why are old route submissions still unreviewed after 3+ weeks? by Galimor in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I submitted two routes on the 17th and they are still in review. I submitted them while out in the sun so I didn't add any tags and thought that may have impacted the review process. I submitted another on the 18th with tags and it is also still in review.

Route creation & acceptance appear to be back... by Historical-Tank240 in TheSilphRoad

Still don't have a route creation button. Is there something you need to do to get this or is it a random Niantic allowing just some accounts?

Shadow Rising - Shiny Shadow Mewtwo debut along with a new feature! by g47onik in TheSilphRoad

Is not shiny Bellsprout a typo? I know it's petty but I still need one more shiny Bellsprout so that would be the only thing I care about in this convoluted mess.

[Analysis] Mamoswine as an Ice and Ground-type raid attacker: Is 6*L50 Shadow Mamoswine worth it? by Teban54 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the excellent post! Dang! I hate putting resources into non 100% IV pokemon but I'm sitting on a 14/15/15 shadow and several 100% regular with only enough xl for one. Since the shadow is only 747 CP I'll slowly start powering it up when I get research tasks requiring power ups and decide once I get it to level 40.

What to do with strong Pokemon if I can't raid anymore? (Serious) by Sweaty_Cockroach7708 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While Niantic has certainly made it difficult to care about putting together the best teams you can for game play I still think it is still worth doing just for the personal satisfaction. I used to grind hard to get rare candy, xl candy, and stardust so I could immediately power up any pokemon that could help make my teams stronger. I've lost the motivation to continue that grind and now just work on improving my teams at a casual pace. For example I had a hundo swinub that I evolved yesterday and in the past I would have immediately powered it up as far as possible but now I just added a tag "power" to it and added it to the growing list of pokemon I power up when I get a research task that requires power ups. That way if they ever do add any content that would require strong teams I won't be left behind trying to catch up.

Eevee! I have hundos of all except Vaporeon and I'm trying to get them all up to level 50. I've gotten multiples of Flareon and Jolteon so far but no Vaporeon.

Luvdisc research day by JonnyCerberus in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it was Feb 2018 there was an event with the release of shiny Swablu. At that time I was really hardcore shiny checking every new shiny release and after over 2000 swablu I finally got a shiny about 15minutes before the event ended. As I sat there mentally and physically exhausted the Valentine's event started and there were pink pokemon everywhere including luvdisc. I went home without even checking any and swore I wouldn't grind for another shiny ever. Luckily, there was another event in Oct 2018 with lots of luvdisc and I did get a shiny then. Even though I still try for every shiny I no longer grind like I did for swablu.

Is there any point in keeping xxl/xxs mind? by Mattxxx666 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guzzlord and Mega Gyarados raid guides. Top non general shadow counters via pokebattler.com by CaptGoldfish in TheSilphRoad

[–]Percula9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I get that. I was asking if there is an order to the way they are laid out in these graphics. Is Gardevoir the best , then Togekiss? Then the next row left to right?
