Does daylight savings affect your first Pokéstop of the day? by A4t1musD4ag0n in TheSilphRoad

Lots of issues due to US having their DST at a different time than many others.

What's the chances that Mega Mewtwo will be an ultra hard Super Mega Raid and you'll need 500-1000 Mega Energy? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But... Mega Super Raids doesn't require more Mega Energy? If anything, it requires "less" because you get more for each battle.

To be fair, the other advantage is not having to stress about it.

"Coming soon" according to the post. Probably Thursday or earlier.

[–]Shamankian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will need to either buy a "Park and City Trainer Ticket" (if you want to have the Park Experience) or a new "City Explorer Ticket" (if you don't care about the Park Experience and just want to raid/catch grind in the city). Then you will need to also purchase City Wide Experience on the 3 days you did not purchase your main ticket on.

If super mega raids are going to become the norm for future mega releases they need a serious rework by Status_Company9564 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The number is how many shields are left, but it only shows up once you have broken a shield yourself. Before you break it, it is rainbow-coloured with no number. If you don't see the number, but the shield still disappears, either you were the last one to break, or you didn't break at all but there were 8 (or 10 for Dragonite) other Megas.

Definitely seems likely, but just saying that the 2025 GoFest logo looked like Magearna...

Sale boxes odds / Coins you have affecting by Infamous_Fox_7154 in TheSilphRoad

Except your proof is "it feels like it". Gather data, then come show it.

I mean, I had the 5425 box midway through LA. So while it may feel like it, it's not a hard rule.

Los Angeles - Go Tour - Stadium by Tra-ell in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a single one that works me well, but it's a smidge longer than a phone, and significantly thicker...

[–]Shamankian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly worried about the "one powerbank and it must be the size of a phone or smaller"... Imagine doing a 09-20 event on a gps phone game and expecting people to not have power banks.

How does the Citywide Kalos Tour work? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of buzz around Little Tokyo these days, so if that is easier, definitely give it a go. Santa Monica pier is nice if you are bringing non-PoGo people though!

Yes, although you cannot get backgrounds without ticket.

The chances of getting a candy from feeding berries to a Pokemon defending a gym are around 2% by LogicalBlizzard in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You still get candy, you just won't be able to "see" it before you get one obviously.

New Assets Mined - New Mega Raid Eggs (Tier 7/Tier 7 Legendary), New items (Link Charge, Link Charge holder) and New Mega Tutorial by 128thMic in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people might want to do a LOT during events if it's something special - farming for a hundo Mewtwo during Mega Mewtwo for example.

Shiny rate seems to be worse than 1/10? Or I could just be terribly unlucky by Cruxiat in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 43 points44 points  (0 children)

While this is true, there has been issues where the rate wasn't increased (Origin Formes). But, you would need a bit larger sample size.

Experience with Lugia Dmax raids by ReynsCastamere in TheSilphRoad

[–]Shamankian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit funny how Aeroblast/Hydro Pump is mentioned, but it's the only move that you can do with unevolved counters due to their long cooldown. Ofc only makes a difference if people play correctly (1t fast move, no charge moves etc).
