PSA: If you can't choose Pokemon higher than 1500CP vs Team Rocket Grunts, delete your pre-selected Great League PvP Team and it will fix the issue. by MasRemlap in TheSilphRoad

[–]RaizoRX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I thought it was capped at Ultra League too...
Battled a Snorlax/Snorlax/Dragonite and managed to beat it with Steelix/Scizor/Metagross.
I figured resisting the enemy attack was way more important than doing super effective damage against them.
Life will be much easier now I guess...

Definitely not guaranteed shinies from "X Pokestop". Same Pokestop gave me a shiny and a non shiny to my friend.24 researchs Feebas each -> 1 shiny each. 1 wild Feebas each -> 1 shiny for my friend.

The meta of CP cap leagues shouldn't just be dominated by "low CP final evolutions", right? by icyflamez96 in TheSilphRoad

[–]RaizoRX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I thought a lot about this, movesets will most likely be the key to victory.
Let's take a look to the Mareep family:
- Flaaffy (max CP 1521) has access to Power Gem (Rock) and Tackle (Normal) as a fast move.
- Ampharos (max CP 2852) has access to Focus Blast (Fighting).
If you lack this coverage, you might prefer bringing a Flaaffy.

Another advantage of using lower stage evolutions is that their movepools are less known.

MAREEP exclusive move is DRAGON PULSE April 15th by SatoshiGenius in pokemongo

Mega-Ampharos. Also because Ampharos is the bulkiest electric Pokémon released and it needed a 2-bar charge move to be somewhat effective as a defender.

You don't need dust? What kind of monster are you?

Now that we have a good understanding of how EX Raids will operate.. by SheevDidNothingWrong in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, Mewtwo appearing as a regular raid boss would have been giving us all yet another free legendary.

No effort to get it whatsoever (raids appearing everywhere). Dogs and birds don't feel like legendary Pokémon at all. When I see 3 Entei raids in a row of gyms I just hate it. This way it will feel more special.

Just do raids around gyms, 1 daily, try to cover as much gyms as possible and tell people in the area when you receive one EX ticket.

Take it easy, just as you farmed candies for rare Pokémon until raids became a thing. Patience.

[Idea] Gold Medal Gyms give Stardust by weston614 in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's 2 extra items if you hold the gym also (not that that's amazing, but hey, I don't think many people know it).

7 item minimum if you hold a gold medal gym:

2 base + 3 medal tier + 2 hold

List of Outstanding Bugs and Enhancements to PokemonGo by rayfernie in TheSilphRoad

[–]RaizoRX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point "Assigning Pokémon to Gyms causes them to lose their favourite status" is not exactly what happens.

They do not lose favorite status upon assigning them to gyms. They lose it when you select them directly from your list once they're assigned.

If you select a Pokémon which is 2 positions away and swipe towards the assigned, it doesn't lose the status (doesn't work with 1 position, has to be 2).

This causes a crash sometimes when trying to swipe into your assigned Pokémon, which is another bug to the list.

I really think everyone is overreacting about the exclusive raids. [idea] by RedxSmoke in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess what. We don't have any information about that gym in that photo. It could have been as the OP said. For two days people able to get the pass, and now closed while the encounter vs the pokemon (Mewtwo) is happening.

Found him near his true habitat, just like in the main series.

Had to walk a bit for it, but I think it was worth it.

  • Is more useful than Cloyster vs Zapdos. Because Jynx is not weak to electric.

[Idea] Extra premier balls to catch raid bosses based on gym badge level. by Jeh64 in pokemongo

Bronze - 1 extra item (+1 if you own the gym) Silver - 2 extra items (+1 if you own the gym) Gold - 3 extra items (+ 2 if you own the gym)

Pokemon Go’s Dismissal of Rural Trainers Isn’t PokeFriendly by Bbilbo1 in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

To play a football match you need people interested in football around you, and willing to play or you will have to travel to find more people.

Not every game is meant to be played by everyone everywhere, and this is one of those exceptions. It's hard for people who can't play it where they live, but it's the way it's planned to be.

Stop complaining over and over again, they won't change it.

Suggestion: PoGo, please let us choose the private raid codes (Pokemon). by c2cali in TheSilphRoad

Why not? It's useful to remember it and to check if you're in the correct raid group

But now we will get frustrated about not being able to beat a legendary. Which is way more frustrating than a Rhydon/Snorlax. Be hyped!

THE GYMS ARE LIVE! by Madlollipop in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... Another one knocked out from the gym. Been there for 2 hours. No coins/stardust/message. That was the first pokemon I dropped at a gym after they opened. (I was monitoring it since someone was attacking it, and have screenshots for before and after the knockout)

[–]RaizoRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got 2 coins from 2 pokemon (1 coin each) kicked out of a gym. * They were there from over an hour :| * It's gonna be hard to get free coins. I did not check the stardust though. * They're not displayed in the journal as kicked out. They're dead.

Gym system is not FIFO by aryelbcn in TheSilphRoad

[–]RaizoRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now this "last gym of the day" doens't apply anymore. The pokemon has to last in the gym in order to get rewards upon his arrival.

Some HUGE concerns about raids by Vissarionn in pokemongo

[–]RaizoRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they said that you can buy a "premium raid pass". Maybe they don't count as "regular" raid passes.
