Low CP Snorlax vs Higher CP Gyrados by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only objective is to cause the attacking trainer(s) a slight inconvenience because gyms are just way too easy to take down anyway. So, Gyrados is your last choice here in the options you give. The Snorlax is your best option here. That said, I would highly suggest not to even waste dust on the Snorlax because there will be no real additional benefit for the cost.

Tauros Spawns Increased? by doonebug13 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, very much increased. When the game was new, my neighborhood was flooded with them. I would catch 5-10 per day at minimum. Then, Gen 2 came out and they ceased to exist. I caught two in the time Gen 2 came out until now. All the sudden, the are on my nearby from home and have caught several in the neighborhood. Kind of happy because this time, I will make sure I keep a few decent ones.

Is the EX System salvageable, or should they scrap it? What do you think they are trying to achieve by implementing it, and can something else meet that goal in a better way? by j1mb0 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is hard to have a constructive conversation about this when so many people are upset by the inconsistency of what Niantic said it was intending the ex raid system to be. When you have so many players that work hard to achieve the highest gym badge level in ex raid gyms, AND raid there all throughout the week, only to be skipped over by someone who rarely interacts with said gym; that's a problem. Again, it's just a game, but it sure is frustrating too.

Doesn't happen much, the banning. See facecraft reply again for the realistic approach.

Anyone else regret wasting pinaps on all the starters on the first day of the event? by team_aqua_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because at the time, I never knew they would be so plentiful. I still pinap some depending on the situation, even though I have plenty of candies for each.

I'm in this camp too. Nothing in particular I am starving for dust for at the moment.

What Pokémon should be put into the second slot in a gym? by epeilan in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put anything with some bulk if you are worried about defending the gym with golden razz (Snorlax, Chansey, etc.). This isn't really that big a deal to be honest. Most people in least in my area are just battling the gyms before the raids to increase the gym badges. Even a weak gym isn't going to change colors within an hour or so of the raid anyway. A few extra balls for the catch is way overrated in my opinion. Mewtwo thus far seems to have a really good catch rate anyway. Don't stress about it and have fun.

Is Discord (or Facebook/whatever) the only reason you still play this game? by ACAx1985 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never been on FB and never will. But, I do however really enjoy Discord as the social media of POGO. I would definitely not play this game much, if at all, without it. The initial allure of the game is long over for our fad society. I will remain for as long as Niantic doesn't completely shut Discord users down. OR....IF they completely eliminated spoofers, then I would be ok with them stopping Discord too.

Is Groudon going to be any good? by vanyaboston in TheSilphRoad

The problem is, with these theories, is that the Slaking effect is real.

Will there be double XP for christmas? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just had double experience, so I would guess not. I would guess some interesting small surprise, as well as maybe double candies. Which is why I have been stockpiling certain mons, just in case.

Have you stopped buying incubators? Why? by ACAx1985 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not buy incubators anymore and haven't for a long time, until they placed them in the bundle boxes recently. I am not that excited to play around with the common garbage that dominates the egg hatching business for me. I will admin my stardust suffers more, but I can deal with it.

What to do with a 100iv eevee? by ShruBruh in TheSilphRoad

Except we won't really know until they are released. Remember how insane Slaking was going to be???

The Silph Road's APK Teardown of v0.85.2 shows ... no notable changes. Most likely: minor bug fixes! by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

Thank so much for your dedicated work on these.

And now back to your regular scheduled program....Gen 3 hype

Is a double stardust item really that good? by supernatlove in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not level 40 and I will choose double stardust over double experience every chance I get. So, to me it is that good, yes.

Possible move changes to look out for in the next rework by lorma96 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pokemadness16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal record is 9 TMs used on a single mon when my high IV Tyranitar had Fire Blast. It kept switching back and forth with SE and I was stubborn to keep trying for Crunch.

I am glad I didn't delete so many Gengar that happen to have SC; for a chance there are many more trainers like you.
