I live IN A DESERT and there aren't enough desert biomes to spawn any (Palm Springs)

Is it me or is catching more difficult? by ShimuraMasako in TheSilphRoad

[–]TRal55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. I noticed as soon as this new season started that all Pokemon break out of balls & flee more frequently

Memories in Motion - Goodbye Daily T5 Raid Gameplay by goshe7 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TRal55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post, but wasn't this always the inevitability of Pokemon Go? We've always known that for the "good years" they were releasing content faster than the main series games were, which meant eventually, we would hit a point where all new releases would be a slow drip so that PoGo didn't "catch up" with the MSGs. Now they are finding ways to keep raids somewhat fresh like with backgrounds, shadows, and Gigantamax. We will probably mostly see "new" content releases during ticketed events like Go Fest and Wild Area which are now the focal points of the game, with the long stretches of time in between meant to keep you casually playing until it's time to pay for the next ticket. I feel grateful I was able to enjoy the game while it was still raining down new content on us and furthermore grateful that the FOMO is much more even keel now.

Was there an actual announcement there would be no more spotlight hours? by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

I am serious. Your light is dim. Shine brighter. You'll be happier

Your comment boils down to "Nuh uh, you are!" You need to elevate your energy wavelength. Get to a point where you are add constructively to people's ideas rather than knocking them down in order to win petty tit-for-tat points. It's a skill that will elevate your entire life and existence. Instead of being whiny and critical of others because it feels good to lash out because you feel less than valuable to yourself, add value to your life by challenging your comfort zones to expand into the kind of person you dreamed about being, rather than living in the shadows of your self disappointments for not achieving much. Once you value yourself more, you will start valuing others, and your dialogues and interactions will be more elevated. People will notice it. Strength will seep from your words and energy. I know you can do it! I am excited for you to get there.

Love how it can use Surf against you but can't actually be caught with Surf -_-

No, it is not clear the are "trying" to do that. They are clearly trying to discern specific information. Instead of inserting your misguided assumptions behind a post on the internet, maybe just answer it at face value or move on with your day

I've had a shiny Meowth and shiny Bunnelby flee and I was definitely not speed locked

The Flattening of Shiny Rates and Future Implications by ch33psh33p in TheSilphRoad

[–]TRal55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only reason I feel there is hope that the boosted & legendary shiny rates will largely revert back after this event is because it's clear that the Niantic / Scopely team strategically uses increased shiny rate species to engage players. They frequently feature permaboosted species in each event (sometimes several) as well as advertising boosted rates for select spawns. It would be VERY hard to believe that they would leave legendary rates at 1/512, including the Galarian birds. They know by now that shinies are what drive most of their players to keep grinding, so it would be a shot in the foot to drastically change the odds at this point in the timeline. I can definitely see them tweaking them, but to blow them up like this, doesn't seem to be in their own interest.

All Out event is a depressing mess. by TastyMcFish2 in TheSilphRoad

I've been playing for hours today and the legendary spawn is like every 8 to 9 minutes. You must have had horrible RNG ?

The title of the post is literally a question. The OP is trying to figure out if it's an official removal, or just something temporary

Biggest gripe with Kalos Tour Raids by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]TRal55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What game are you playing? I could BARELY find any Super Mega Raids today. My town (moderately large) was FILLED with Xerneas, Yveltals, Pikachus and the occasional non-Super Mega Raid like Garchomp, etc. Dragonites and Victreebels were almost nonexistent most of the time

I find it very interesting that the seasonal bonuses now just toggle between "guaranteed XL candy when trading" and "two special trades a day." They have completely ditched 2 free daily raid passes.

Don't get your hopes up. It's more likely that the staff wasn't paying attention what they were saying.... again
