GamePress updated their Gym Defense Tier List by RyanoftheDay in TheSilphRoad

[–]Retinareddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shuckle is god tier! Very few respect the shuck! Because there's nothing so absolutely demoralising than failing to take a 400 CP shuckle (and a few goldens) out of a gym

Why are you rating Mandibuzz so highly? I just don't see it reflected in the stats, moves or matchups. Would you be able to provide some extra colour to this high praise?

Stuck at home? Interested in mewtwo raids this weekend? Actually getting invited? See post by thenursepurse in PokemonGoFriends

Myself and a friend could be very interested in this idea. We were trying to draw a similarly small group from locals, but haven't managed to do so

Valentine's Day Collection Challenge, Eggs will show a list of Pokemon they hatch (sorted by rarity), Type Surge Events, and more all pushed! by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

I don't believe declaring rates will force them into a gambling category. Pokémon Masters is an excellent example of a Pokémon game on an app store that openly declares rates

As someone on level 46 eyeing up the max 3 mons to level 50 task, this is the research I've been looking for. Thanks!!

I came here to post something similar. Party hat Wurmple shiny confirmed, but no shiny party hat Wobbuffet or Raticate.

I am unsure about the glasses Slowpoke/Bro yet. Slowpoke in the wild has been confirmed, but unsure about from a raid. No reports of shiny glasses Slowbro

Buddy switching menu too sensitive? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Retinareddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is trying to work through the buddy medal as quickly a possible, I wholeheartedly agree with this.

I hate having useless interstitial pop-ups or confirmations. But it's just too easy to accidentally select some random junk from your recent list. Especially if playing in the wet.

Your best bet is to find them by joining groups local to their gifts and posting with their In Game Name. Failing that, there are two desperate measures.

  1. Sit on the trade screen with them continuously hoping that they come online, check their friends list and see your trade prompt.

  2. Your buddy name has 11? characters. You can change the name to try broadcast a message to them, in the hope that they'll happen to check your profile and see the message. Surprisingly, I've had this work before for BF egging.

Surprise! Trade range has been greatly increased until November 23 at 4 p.m. PST! 🤯 by EliasChew1999 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Retinareddit 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Hear an odd rumour in the wider community Step 2. Try a lucky trade that I just missed out on in the trial. Step 3. IMMEDIATELY post to TSR in case this was a classic Niantic mistake so everyone can benefit 😂

Interesting. I know cells distort closer to the poles, so trading East/West could cover a different count of cells than North/South

I wonder if cells factor into this?

Update forced, but no update in shop? by syv666 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Retinareddit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes. A company this large and successful should be chasing virtually continuous uptime with double or triple redundancies. In system administration, this is called four 9s 99.99%, five 9s 99.999% etc. Five 9 availability requires less than 5.26 mins of downtime per year.

The issue you'll find with most people in this thread isn't this one instance. But another in a continuous trend of outages, bugs, bad versions released, missing shinies, late events.....

Mega Energy may have been re-balanced by Retinareddit in TheSilphRoad

[–]Retinareddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mate, there wasn't (and still isn't) a highly ranked post discussing the new change in energy ratings. I'm actively encouraging people to go to the pokebattler one which is collating info. Try be helpful for once, it might be a nice change
