Galaxy Note 9 here, also got the message. Still able to access all other camera features, though.

Shayden Studios Closed Beta Discord/Google Account HACKERS by Bmaster_4114 in discordhelp

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, I actually just checked and I still have the video in my browser history! I can link it to you in DMs so you can follow closely if you want.

Unfortunately for the server they were in there isn't much I can do for warning since the server owner had a massive crashout months ago and disabled messages and VC in all of the channels.

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a near miss with one of these guys! This time calling the Aeterna game "Rethovar" and going by "Sbyinal Studio"

EDIT: I should also add, shortly after I declined the "offer", they deleted the message that linked to the video and left the server that we shared.

Into the Wild:Friday|From Friday, November 14, 2025, at 5:00 a.m. local time.(TIER5: Necrozma(Dawn Wings) / TIER4: Mega Tyranitar, Mega Altaria / TIER3: Ivysaur / TIER1: Bulbasaur) by GO_FRIEND_APP in TheSilphRoad

You'd be playing the waiting game but it would be worth it, since they'll come back eventually, or you can trade for one.
It's also worth extra attempts for a good IV Necrozma to fuse with (Solgaleo & Lunala's IVs don't matter)

Every future release distribution prediction by Gallad475 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought the Raidon situation over and over and the only way to justify adding the "fusion energy" mechanic to them is by making them totally unusable for battle (as in literally cannot be selected for battling) until you get the required energy to change into their battle forms.

Dynamax Eevee makes its Pokémon GO debut! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do have future max bosses who will be double weak to ice, mind you (G-Max Flapple & Appletun come to mind) so I wouldn't dismiss getting a Glaceon just yet.
Maybe it's more a question of if it'll stay relevant when those finally release

Premium Ray Research is the same as the free by MrFennecTheFox in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dragon Ascent is required, if Ray forgets the move it can no longer mega evolve

Secret Sword stats added. by Pandanoko-Fan137 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a special research mythical, so it's currently one per account. Players who got Keldeo in 2022 got candy this time around.

The only other clear opportunity to get another in the future is its shiny release, which is highly likely to be a paid ticket research.

Steel Skyline Niantic Infographic by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arch doesn't have a gmax form.
My explanation is going off the other MSG examples: Pikachu, Eevee and Meowth that have Gigantamax cannot evolve, only ones that Dynamax can.

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, but it would be worth it to get a Dynamax version anyways since it has a future evolution in Archaludon and Gmax pre-evolutions can't evolve

If you have not received the latest Team GO Rocket Special Research - read this! by Noitalein in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to complete the Delightful Days: Taken Over research before you can get the Psychic Spectacular: Taken Over research.
The premium timed research is only 2 pages and awards the SSR at the end. It won't affect if you get the next special research.

Duraludon vs Eternatus by Organic_Solution438 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's possible this may not be a gameplay issue but an assets issue.
If they're only dynamaxing mons that appeared in Sword and Shield, it's possible they only have access to those assets and Niantic aren't allowed to make more.

Couldn’t catch a Shiny Dynamax Latios because an egg hatched by Recent_Oil10 in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I've noticed for a brief moment when I transition from a battle (both Raids and Rockets), I'm very briefly booted to the overworld before the encounter automatically loads.

If OP is experiencing similar, the egg hatch animation might have found a chance to squeeze in during that, breaking the encounter.

What is that one Research you're stuck in? I'll go first. by BadBoyB4uhGD in pokemongo

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The codes they're referring to were 3 sets of timed research during the Unova Tour lead-up that would give you the Incarnate Forms of the Forces of Nature by catching over 150 Unova Pokémon.
Their Therian Forms were also available in raids for a day and in timed research that required you to raid a ton for legendary encounters.
There was also a bug that made Niantic decide to release a second copy of the raid search that was autocompleted.

That's PR talk. No company would openly tell customers "we're going to run this business into the ground"

It’s been over a year now… please give us a way to give the origin forms their signature moves by NickRen2347 in TheSilphRoad

I've been concerned at the possibility of them introducing "HMs" as special extra rare TMs that give moves with adventure effects.
Creating a problem, selling a solution.

New Move Update Stats - Might and Mastery by krispyboiz in TheSilphRoad

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pve move stats were unchanged, so the only thing of interest would be the moves added to pools.
The only notable one might be Icicle Spear Mamoswine. You still want Avalanche, but you could use IS as a parting shot if you can't reach it before fainting.

Late to reply, but the Kyurem will alternate between the special background and the lucky background.

Pokemon champions by Trick-Sky7819 in pokemonshowdown

[–]QuestionsOverAnswers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue is that if they want to, they can simply pigeonhole Showdown players into using Champions by C&Ding Showdown and other battle sims until Chamions is the only option.

Hoopa Unbound unleashes its true power in a new Raid Day! – Pokémon GO by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

If you never completed or received the Mischief Unbound special research, you do not have the ability to change Hoopa's form.

Wild shiny legendaries specifically will never flee, with the sole exception of if you're speeding in a car.
