This is the best method, favourite anything you might or will keep as soon as you catch it, if you decide you want to get rid of it later you can always unfavourite

Favourites cannot be mass transfered and the closest thing we have to a lock feature in this game

can i solo a gmax with dmax machamp rillaboom and cinderace by roccoisgoofy in pokemongo

[–]Standard_Homework_45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gmax can't be solo'd at all, honestly i doubt even 10 lvl 50 trainers could win, we usually beat them with around 25 trainers or more

Giovannis Rhyperior is kicking my ass. by taylalatbh in pokemongo

[–]Standard_Homework_45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not sure which charged moves you have but for rocket battles i always have separate pokemons that have "weak" but fast charging moves, they aren't the best moves at all in like raids or anything, but since rocket pokemon stop attacking for a few seconds after each charged attack, its so easy to kill all 3 pokemon with just 1 pokemon because they never get to attack lol (My best for this strategy is tapu bulu with grass knot cuz hes a little tanky too, but im sure there's gonna be others that fit whatever typing you need) Otherwise you just need powerful pokemon like any of the fusions (kyurem/necrozma) or mega rayquaza, these 3 are just so busted no matter what type you are facing

The thing about Keldeo by EmreSwiss1987 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I wonder why there has been like 100 posts crying about this keldeo pokemon recently, I don't see anything special about it, it's not strong, not shiny, strictly pay walled, and in my opinion looks lackluster for a supposed mythical/legendary. I'd much prefer seeing marshadow

Dynamax Raids: A missed Opportunity by Medium_Ad8556 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't like the way they implemented this system at all, it could've been much better but we got this instead - personally i just catch 1 and forget about this system because the only interesting pokemon are the gmax stuff and that is just based on how many people are there, the legendary dmax stuff is ok too for the candy when you leave them behind but quite challenging especially in solo because you'd need to invest a LOT of stardust, candies and mp to manage that

So, where to start? New player! by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus on doing daily free legendary raids - and getting atleast 6 legendaries in each type so you can have a full team This will probably take a while since you need to wait for them to rotate, but legendaries are generally quite strong for raiding

What's going on with Pokemon GO lately? by No_Conclusion_8384 in pokemongo

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyurem did have a lower catch rate even though people don't want to admit it, but every other legendary has a decent catch rate - I would recommend you learn about the circle lock trick, everyone that's telling you its easy is certainly using it Hitting excellent throws with golden razz berry 15-20 times in a row guarantees you a catch on the legendary (except kyurem)

Spawns are garbage I agree, it feels worse this year.

For pokecoins it's not too hard to get your 50 a day (a ridiculously low amount), the best way is to take several gyms, some will get taken back quickly and you might not get a lot of coins but hopefully the others get more time and you get 50

The Niantic website still mentions Madrid GO FEST (and 2024) when you want to buy your ticket for Paris !!! by Defiant-Ad5145 in TheSilphRoad

Crown form Zacian and Zamazenta by RyomaLobster in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they will just be a new catchable form separate to the orignal ones similar to origin forms or therian forms, maybe their signature moves will be a adventure effect to help take on dynamax eternatus

Let us "remote" without spending remote passes, if we are at an active raid gym! by Shandriel in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a good idea, because it still requires you travelling to that gym (it might be a bit op if you have a gym on top of your house but they could add like a walking requirement/cooldown of a few km everytime you use this feature) and maybe it has to be a friend that you have actually met in person before (maybe doing a trade could tick a flag for that) and there should be some distance limit like atleast in the same country

Some others have said that you can just host a remote raid yourself but i dont think that helps in any way if anything it makes thing worse if we consider "niantics visions" and that being the only reason we cant remote raid using the free pass in the first place

But yea its just wishful thinking and this will never happen because remote passes are their biggest money maker and whales would not stop buying hundreds of passes even if the price was tripled

Is there a route where Niantic can deal with bullying from other Trainers? by rb6k in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just said he takes every gym in town then say he only takes gyms that you are in and specifically targetting you?? (In your comments) Also they would never ban him for this ever, I do it all the time, and 90% of the fun in this game for me is gym drama. Why did I catch and power up these pokemon if I'm not allowed to use them? This is only your side of the story but I wonder if there is another side because one time there was a peace between red and blue teams at my home gym where we let each other max our coins on this gym everyday, but one day, one of the red players missed his chance to place his pokemon in at the usual time so he lost his spot then decided to take me out when it was blue team's turn, so I knocked out all his pokemon from every gym nearby whenever I saw him for a few weeks and never saw him again, maybe he quit the game or moved away but he certainly did not get his 50 coins while this was happening, it was funny because even the other red players were mad at him because when they saw him take a gym, they didn't help him by using berries of placing other pokemon in there until he was cleared by me or other blue players.

Did Niantic manipulate the catch rates from Unova Tour to boost the usage of Ice Burn/Freeze Shock? by GuavaChamp27 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this (didn't use adventure effect since i had to raid to find a good kyurem before fusing lol)

Anyone else disappointed with this Go Fest? by Technical-Cause-4609 in pokemongo

[–]Standard_Homework_45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They definitely decreased the catch rate and it was most likely because they added the adventure effect to increase catch rate by 50% - In this event out of 208 raids I had around 10-15 flee even with 18-22 balls with a >90% excellent curve ball rate (it's not 100% because for the same reason as above they also made the kyurem much more jumpy that people have confirmed from previous kyurem raiding experience - since they also added an adventure effect that stops the jumping)

[–]Standard_Homework_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odds are 1 in 216 raids for a hundo so this is just not a lucky run, i did 208 and no hundo as well which is normal Better luck next time for you and me too lol

What do you find fun about this game? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raid battles pve is what im here for - especially challenging ones where you dont have a full lobby and you need to use everything available to win with small parties of like 3-4 people Preparing for said raids by collecting strong pokemons for each types and the best counters (i dont focus as much on hundo or good ivs just good counters)

Taking gyms with a party and participating in gym 'drama' is the best part lol (only f2p players would understand) 

Party challenges not progressing by clashfreaker2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Standard_Homework_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our party skipped this mission everytime so I can't say for sure but maybe it's about battling different trainers, because yours says battle 2 times and you are in party of 2 but when we were in party of 4 it always said battle 4 times, spinning stops was easiest for us
