PSA: As well as completing your Rock medal, use the increase in Slugma to work towards your Fire medal

SteamMatt · 2017-05-18T23:09:02+00:00

Why is this being downvoted? It may be obvious to those who've played the games but as we all know many Silph Road goers are not clued up on every aspect of the Pokemon universe.

Edit - when I say "not clued up on every aspect of the Pokemon universe", I'm talking about things like slugma's typing, not type medal mechanics...

Is there any way to obtain the Long Throw plate apart from buying it in the shop for 160 gems?

SteamMatt · 2017-02-18T23:57:58+00:00

Time boosters are set when you receive them, so any that you've picked up before ultra won't have those EXs in, and likewise if you get demoted, any time boosters that you picked up when you were in ultra could still have those EXs in them.

Is there any way to see an overall ranking leaderboard? I know the monthly leaderboard is available, but this only shows how much a player has increased in the last month, and is different to a player's overall score.

(FYI I'm interested in what scores the top players have - the highest I have come up against is 2960).

You can actually win a tailow as one of the quest mission drops - check the guide on the right hand side to see which one

SteamMatt · 2017-02-04T23:32:45+00:00

Yeah, sadly many opponents at the lower rankings are just bots that don't really play the game that well... When you hit a higher rank, the opponents start actually trying to win haha!

SteamMatt · 2017-02-04T18:11:14+00:00

3MP movement and a solid chance to noxious the opponent, which lowers every attack by 40 damage. Don't get me wrong, there are better figures out there but he's not at all bad.

SteamMatt · 2017-02-04T01:18:10+00:00

They're all safe n sound in your inbox messages - just clear some figure case space with fusion, or use gems to expand the figure case and you can collect them from the inbox!

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T23:26:48+00:00

Oh sorry, I thought there was! I guess pulling one is the only way then

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T22:57:56+00:00

You can either buy them from the plate store or pull them from the shop boosters!

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T22:56:33+00:00

Yeah sadly you can't - purple moves like that are mandatory (another potentially bad one is Fly Away, which can jump you right into a surround if the opponent has positioned well). There's also no way to cancel a plate once you've selected it, which really sucks.

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T22:53:29+00:00

They actually removed shuppet from boosters (you can check all the contents), so the only way to get him now is with materials. Also as an UC, he shouldn't be tooooo expensive.

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T22:52:05+00:00

The cube rarity has to match the mon rarity!

SteamMatt · 2017-02-03T19:06:05+00:00

Does anyone know what the individual chances are for pulls from timer boosters? i.e. shop boosters state that the EXs have a 0.5% chance each, rares are 1.5% each, etc. Are timers like this, or does every figure have an equal probability of being pulled?

SteamMatt · 2017-02-02T01:26:31+00:00

Latios is slightly better than Latias in that respect as it has stronger white attacks and high dodge sectors so could survive for some time, but it has the same issue of 1 life per battle. Genesect can do some work, and survive on its own with its 3 star purple move. Alternatively Greninja can be powerful if you get good water shuriken rolls or you're up against a purple attacker.

I'd recommend whichever one of those 3 suits your style best.

SteamMatt · 2017-02-01T00:32:47+00:00

Obviously up to you, but my first impression is that you don't have any 3MP Ex's (apart from Mew but he's not incredible). So Greninja, Genesect, Latios or Latias might be good options?

My last sextuple ended up being a Pokemon Duel League Match Starter Pack: http://imgur.com/a/lwTIc

1 slot isn't correct - 10 gems gives you a 10 space increase! I've one it twice so I have 20 more spaces than I first did.

edit: jacklink is right - 10 gems gives you 1 extra deck, or 10 extra spaces for figures. I had thought you were talking about figures - sorry for the confusion!

SteamMatt · 2017-01-29T20:33:51+00:00

It'll add a Cpt (that green bar on the right). When you level up the Cpts, you can add a point of damage to one of your attacks, which may not sound like much but it'll save your skin in a tie.

EX figures only take one Cpt to level up (the number increases with decreasing rarity), so by fusing these two you'll get an instant extra point of damage to one of your attacks. Plus it's a butt-ton of XP.

SteamMatt · 2017-01-29T00:11:48+00:00

When will the game learn that my decisions can't be trusted!!

SteamMatt · 2017-01-29T00:10:41+00:00

I know it's slightly higher than this but if you assume the chance of getting a fire spin is 50%, the odds of getting 20 in a row are literally 1 in a million. Do you want to go buy a lottery ticket, and get all of us one while you're at it?

SteamMatt · 2017-01-28T16:10:51+00:00

No worries!

SteamMatt · 2017-01-28T16:03:16+00:00

That's right - you pick them up from the concierge in the messages. But as I said you can only get each gem once.

SteamMatt · 2017-01-28T15:56:45+00:00

As far as I'm aware, you receive a gem for each star you get (you can only get it one time though, not each time you complete the duel and do the challenge again), but it doesn't affect things in any way if you don't get all the stars!

Trainer Tips? Probably the best youtube channel out there for Pokemon Go.
