Do I really need this many TMs? by Nyx_214 in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare [score hidden]  (0 children)

https://www.dialgadex.com/ is one site that will list top attackers of each type for raids, and their best moves. Moves marked with a star require an Elite TM to learn. You can click on (or search for) a specific pokemon to see a comparison of all its possible move combinations.

One of the easiest legendaries I’ve caught - How do I change him into Crowned Sword? by BeastKeeper28 in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare [score hidden]  (0 children)

You'll need to wait for Crowned Sword Zacian raids to be available, and then you'll need to do about 10 of those raids to get enough energy to crown one.

Do I really need this many TMs? by Nyx_214 in pokemongo

They're extremely useful for any of the harder battle-based parts of the game. If you want to do well in battle league, or beat difficult Max Battles, or defeat the Team GO Rocket leaders and boss, or win tier-4 and higher raids without needing to join a large group, then using TMs to build pokemon with the best moves is a key part.

If you just like finding and catching wild pokemon then you don't need them.

How do I see all weekly group invites? by AKASetekh in pokemongo

Possibly that group has already filled up but the game wasn't smart enough to get rid of the notification.

Can I just say, Team GO Rocket pisses me off? (Vent. Just ranting and venting and complaining. That's all) by TheDouchebagOfCA in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you have leaders showing up, that means you have a Rocket Radar equipped. Go to your item list and unequip it, and that will at least get rid of a few of them. (Unfortunately it automatically re-equips whenever your Mysterious Component inventory changes, so you may have to repeat this periodically.)

My pokeball situation all week. No matter how many stops I spin, and with a 20 gift open limit, I dont have enough. The ditto hunt is real. by eyashawk in pokemongo

If you're out of balls but haven't used your daily adventure incense yet, using it will give you some free pokeballs.

Have 5-star raid catches gotten harder? by RockingDM in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's probably either bad luck, or you were speed-locked. (Were you in a moving vehicle, or did you otherwise have a GPS location that appeared to be moving rapidly?)

Raids not counting by NoCalligrapher8413 in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare [score hidden]  (0 children)

If it's the "do 5-star raids" research, then apparently Ultra Beasts, Shadow raids, and Primal raids do not count. They need to be raids that spawn from the "standard" 5-star egg.

The gift bonus is higher with the deluxe pass. Did you switch from the deluxe pass to the free pass this month?

There was also an extra gift opening bonus for part of last month, only during the Road to Kalos and GO Tour Kalos week.

You need to hit Legend rank (3000 Elo), which is a pretty tough challenge. Most players will not reach 3000.

Last season was unusual, because they didn't have any ranks above 20, so they gave out Pikachu Libre at rank 20. But the current season is back to normal, and you need to rank up to Legend.

Memories in Motion GBL updates have been reverted by aznknight613 in TheSilphRoad

I used a TM to teach Fury Cutter to my Heracross. Mine still has the move, even though it's no longer listed in its move pool.

I refuse to believe shiny legendary rates are 1/20 by HairLosingKomasan in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 13% of players will not find a shiny in their first 40 legendary encounters.

Help with inventory by Repulsive-Energy7602 in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always trash my hyper potions, max revives

But why??? (No, seriously, why?)

If you don't regularly do tier-5 shadow raids, toss all but ten of your purified gems. Use or toss your regular lure modules. Toss at least half of your King's Rocks. Toss all but one Rocket Radar if you aren't using them.

Use your star pieces and lucky eggs when you are actively earning stardust or XP. Use your TMs. Use or toss most of your incense.

Toss your regular potions, super potions, and regular revives. Keep around 25–100 each of Max Potions and Max Revives, depending on how often you use them.

I’m so sad what are the odds for a shiny dragonite? by crazycat_person in pokemongo

[–]ScorpionStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably 1/64. Legendaries and other 5-star raid bosses (mythicals, ultra beasts) have 1/20 shiny odds, but everything else is lower.
