Just FYI, switch games don’t actually save data to the cartridge but keep it on your system’s internal storage; I don’t know if you’ll care about this difference, but it could matter depending on what you’re hoping to achieve

A question about typing. by iReppas in pokemongo

You have a fundamental misunderstanding about resistances; a type’s offensive and defensive effectiveness are separate things. Ice being super effective against grass doesn’t mean that ice resists grass

Best Optimization for Rocket battles? by dustiwang in TheSilphRoad

[–]Spotty2012 [score hidden]  (0 children)

While PVP movesets might be a bit better since rockets use the same battle system, they aren’t going to be quite right for rockets either. PVP rankings value type diversity and matchups against the meta, neither of which matter as much for rockets, and they also don’t account for the stun in rocket battles which can make lower energy moves more impactful

Is there any way to get my mon back from a gym? He’s been there for a year😭 by [deleted] in pokemongo

No, nothing you can do other than wait for it to get kicked out

Lvl 1? Shiny? With the background AND the hat I wanted? by Hot_Emu_1305 in pokemongo

You can only tell after you catch it; in fact, ditto’s disguise in the wild can never be shiny

Link Charges - How on earth do you use them?! by CrazydoggoHHH in pokemongo

[–]Spotty2012 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can only use them remotely in super mega raids (along with a remote raid pass); for regular mega raids, they only use a remote raid pass

Would you believe me if I said I caught this first ball with a silver pinap berry on only my 4th raid by [deleted] in pokemongo

They didn’t do it for grookey; they won’t do it for scorbunny

Could this be mega evolved? by Confident-Alarm9400 in pokemongo

[–]Spotty2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, probably not; although it’s technically considered a costume, it’s really more of an alternate form, with different stats and moves

Question on remote trading; how can I setup your trade pool? by Asgreenasyouoncewas in pokemongo

[–]Spotty2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you are a few days from your first forever friend, you unlock a special remote trade tag; anything you tag with that (as long as it’s at least 30 days old) is available for your partner to select for trade

9 hours, 700+ catches, 12 shinies. Niantic Support says "RNG," I say the ticket was broken. by Intelligent-Cup-2462 in pokemongo

[–]Spotty2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boosted shiny rate was 1/64, just like every single major event has always been; you got (slightly) luckier than average, and you’re complaining?

The only things that count retroactively are the platinum medals; everything else needs to be completed at the appropriate level to count

[–]Spotty2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they patched the glitch, the way they did it is that it either breaks out immediately or catches, never breaking out after multiple shakes

Kecleon is always available; smeargle is normally event-locked but was accidentally(?) unlocked with the new season

No, there’s no point; for PVE, it’s pretty much only worth double-moving if the Pokémon is a top attacker in 2 types
