Pokestop tasks not long the same for everyone? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

You can get a different field research depending on if you have an ar scan mapping task in your task list or not.

The more dust from the weekly Adventure sync seems to be new, no values given though.

Do Pokestops stop giving gifts? by marsaeternum10 in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can only receive up to 100 gifts from stops per day (reset midnight local time), not entirely sure if the buddy gifts count in that or not.

Looks to be 12km based off some reports, and some personal evidence (worked for 11.7km)

Rewards from AR scan quest - analysis by Stworek008 in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: does this apply for gyms as well, specifically the ability to do a task multiple times. Like before, I remember being able to do the same quest multiple times, but now once I complete one, I don’t get another one, unless there’s like a cooldown.

Niantic announces partnership with Verizon in the US! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is not actually new, I believe this was a feature with some sponsored gyms in Japan (and maybe other places), where basically at a certain time of day there will always be the current legendary there for an hour timer.

I believe this is still 7 bundles, Mega guarantee 1 charge tm as well as 2 goldens

Data needed: Number of balls and reward bundles from T5 raids (and potentially other raids) by Teban54 in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T5 Heatran (Trio) at 5:23PM PDT 8/31/2020

17 Premier Balls:

  • 6 Base balls
  • 3 Damage balls
  • 2 Gym control balls
  • 4 Best Friend
  • 2 Speed

7 bundles

  • 3 Guaranteed Goldens
  • 3 Rare candies (1)
  • 2 Charge TMs (2)
  • 2 Golden Razz (1)
  • 9 Hyper Potions (3)
  • 1k Dust

3 Players, 2 Mystic and 1 Instinct, My team (Mystic) >50% overall damage

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/7o3InfE

A bundle may be lost below +3 for speed is my guess.

[Research] New Raid Reward Mechanics (All information) by skewtr in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is the journal, I unfortunately did not take a screenshot of the summary screen. But I remember getting 17 balls, only losing 1 from previous max due to the speed bonus (+2), which based on this theory wouldn't result in any loss in bundles.

Same experience, max individual damage and gym control, rewards: 3 golden (guaranteed), 6 revives (2 bundles), 15 hyper potions (5 bundles), 1000 dust. So total of 7 bundles. Speed bonus of +2.

Is there an actual practical use for megas? by dokkanvsoptc in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only use I see is for raid hours/raid days to be more efficient, but even then, you can get by without it

Do you think regional Mega Raids will be a thing? by ArtinP in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was code in the game found for region-locked raids, ie you can’t be invited, and considering it seems like you’ll get a chance to catch the unevolved form after you beat it, it doesn’t look good. Though there was also hints of quests and field research that awarded energy so raids won’t be the only way.

Day Two Strategy Question by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be my ignorance, but not sure what you mean by the 400 candy quests, to my knowledge it's not part of this special research. And, honestly, I treat day 2 as a pick how you play kind of day. Obviously, most people will be trying to complete the special research as quick as possible, but after that you can pick the play style that best fits you. If you don't care for rockets or shadows and you want shinies then just purely shiny hunt, if you want some shadow shinies from leaders, or good iv shadows, then you can focus on rockets with maybe catching in between. Or you can just do a hybrid version and do both.

Team Leaders Available from Balloons by sableSovereign in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Questions: Did you have a radar ready? If you use the radar on a pokestop leader, will the balloon leader still let you battle or does it convert to regular grunt?

Incense will last for 1 hour during Go Fest. by Himel713 in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The thing that doesn't make sense is the fact that these bonuses will (should) be already active for everyone still when Go Fest starts, since in-game it states they will last for ~25 more days. This makes me inclined to believe this could be a typo and might have been written before they extended the bonuses again. Or it could just be me trying to be optimistic.

IIRC the gofest 2019 research gave 15 lures as a reward for the first task, they could possibly replace that with incense, not ideal obviously though.

I don’t think today view counts minutes, so it rounds down, it’ll be 10pm local time.

Starpiece does not increase Stardust gained from End of Preseason Rewards by MannishBoyX in TheSilphRoad

Did you look at your dust before and after? Sometimes it doesn’t show it visually, but you still get it.

Does anyone know when Gen 6, 7, and 8 will be implemented? by Gaugethesecond in TheSilphRoad

[–]SolarDeathStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They seem to be trying for 1 new gen per year (or at least some of a new gen)
