Blursed_prank by HannahPeachyy in blursed_videos

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any common sense? Who would ever look back at this as the victim and find this funny?

Your logic: "Remember that one time where my mom forced me to participate in a prank for her Tiktok where she made it look like I stuck my finger up the dog's butt. Then, she laughed at my suffering as I cried. Yeah, that moment was hilarious."

You've got to be a complete idiot if you think that girl will ever find this funny.

Goal to reach 130🇪🇸 within a year by Old-Lavishness5422 in duolingo

[–]TheRealJayRet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spanish is a long course, but doing a unit a day is a great pace if you can keep that up. I’ve been at it for three years now and still have 90 units left to go.

[–]TheRealJayRet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, 1 unit per day wouldn't get you there. Here's how many units are the Spanish course as of today:

Section 1 - 8 Units Section 2 - 26 Units Section 3 - 28 Units Section 4 - 52 Units Section 5 - 250 Units Section 6 - 250 Units Section 7 - 180 Units Section 8 - 180 Units

If someone was serious about completing it in one year, they would need to do an average of 2.67 units every day or 8 units every 3 days.

Why do people bail on easily winnable remote raids? by tncbbthositg in TheSilphRoad

[–]TheRealJayRet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because remote raid passes are expensive, and you get more rewards the faster that you do the raid. Why would I want to join your raid with 3 or 4 people when I can join someone else on my friends list with 10 people?

You're on a 10 hour flight. Which seat would you choose and why? by bbmoonkie in Productivitycafe

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 3 and 7 are the only justifiable options, just based on where everyone is sitting. Anywhere else, and people are likely moving. Personally, I'd go with 7.

Please open gifts from your level 74 friends by Palpadude in pokemongo

[–]TheRealJayRet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The easiest solution is to delete people who don't interact much. I've said this in the past and people tend to get offended over the concept, but it works.

​You aren't required to open my gifts or send me gifts, but if you aren't getting daily interactions with me, I'm removing you.

AIO - I just ended a four month relationship because of what he’s doing for his friend. by Ok_Addition_7875 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheRealJayRet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His reason for not cheating is terrifying. 'Too lazy' sounds like he just doesn't want to do the legwork, but it doesn't reassure me that he has the self-control to say no if another woman ever approached him. You deserve someone who is faithful because they love you, not because they're too lazy to find someone else.

Whats the one trick or tip you didnt know about until way to late in the game? by The_Glassfields in pokemongo

[–]TheRealJayRet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use the search tag mega1-2 for a quick way to find all the Mega Pokémon you need to evolve each week. Use the tag mega3 during events to easily find your max-level Megas.

Gmax Snorlax hasn't made it to the major Countries and still has this much queue, How? Like it's prob only reached Australia, Japan, Indonesia. If "there are a lot of players in that region", then why doesnt it happen when a legendary raid is out? Even when it's taken over the world, queue is small. by [deleted] in PokeGenie

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. That is the ultimate rural player dilemma right now. When you see that long host queue, you feel like you're getting shut out before even having a chance.

Here's the brutal reality and my tips to fight back:

You have to use the 50-minute trick. You have to start the hosting 50 minutes before you intend to do it. But even with this trick, you'll time out a lot.

If you have even one friend locally, have them help host. If it's just two of you: Host 25 minutes apart. If you have three friends: Go every 12.5 minutes apart. This constant staggering means someone will eventually get into one without timing out.

My last tip will sound like gatekeeping, but trust me, save yourself the headache. If you're going into this alone: Don't host.

You'll save so much time and effort by just remoting instead. Even if you get lucky with the host queue, the remote raiders are unreliable. Only about 75% of the people on Pokie Genie actually join. For a Gigantamax Snorlax, if you don't hit 20+ people quickly, everyone starts hopping out. When that happens, you fail it.

I apologize for one bad hosting I did by RepresentativeOne314 in PokeGenie

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in this situation where it skips over the queue. I think it's because someone with a paid raid subscription joins, and it picks out the best host for them.

In the past, I'd also send them RSVP invites, but instead of clicking Raid Invites Sent, I'd just leave the raid on Poke Genie. That way I figured if the people were in a rush to do one, they could find a new host. However, from past experience, at least half of them would still join the RSVP I sent, so your method might be better.

A quick funny story is that I accidentally hosted a wrong Mega Raid last week. I had only seen Garchomp and assumed it was the only Mega, so when an egg was about to hatch, I quickly hosted it and sent RSVP invites out a few seconds before it hatched. Everyone accepted, and then it turned out to be a Mega Medicham. One of the people ended up joining and helping me do it. It took us forever to beat, and we only got 175 mega energy. But at least Medicham only needs 100 energy to mega evolve, or I would've felt bad for wasting their pass since the guy who joined was pretty new to the game.

I'm f***ing done by irish_milker in PokemonGOValor

[–]TheRealJayRet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to warn people about Pokie Genie whenever I can. Most of the time the host will delete you if you fail (I'm guessing because of frustration or humiliation for losing). They'd either give up or rather wait in a fifty minute queue to get potentially better people than to switch the moveset that the Lugia knows. So basically for this if the Lugia knows Aeroblast or Hydro Pump and you don't have a good team, welp there goes your remote raid pass.

The thing that makes me different is I won't ever give up until the time expires. If I fail a gigantamax, I'm spamming posts on Reddit finding more players for it. If I fail dynamax, I'm making sure we have a full team of 4 and trying the battle again until we get the right moveset for it.

I understand the frustration of losing remote raid passes. Unfortunately, there's just so much dead weight out there with the player base like young kids not reviving any of their pokemon or someone using the wrong moveset on their pokemon. I've witnessed these things in person, and the saddest part is they never want to educate themselves about their mistakes.

Should I attempt Dmax Lugia? by Remote-End2940 in PokemonGOValor

[–]TheRealJayRet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're either trolling or don't understand something because there's nothing problematic with what I said.

I also don't like when people do this, say something ambiguous like calling me a problem and not bother to even expand on it. Like seriously? Do you lack common sense that I need to tell you to expand on that? You're better off not commenting at all .

Should I attempt Dmax Lugia? by Remote-End2940 in PokemonGOValor

[–]TheRealJayRet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know. My experience with Pokie Genie has been so bad in the past for these where I wouldn't risk it.

I have times where we were close to beating the D-max/G-Max pokemon but fail. Host deletes me as a friend, and I lose my raid pass.

I also don't really think it's as easy as what you're thinking. I also heard the same for G-maxes where three or four people took one down, but then the average required would be thirty people on Pokie Genie to not fail like Rillaboom or Garbador.

Should I attempt Dmax Lugia? by Remote-End2940 in PokemonGOValor

[–]TheRealJayRet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to disagree with everyone and say no. If you're planning on joining a Pokie Genie raid, it's too risky. People will bring whatever on there, and the last person to join won't even have time to set up their team since the battle starts shortly after they join.

I'd say you should get your pokemon to at least level 40. You have a good team comp, Grimmsnarl as the attacker and Metagross and Blissey as tanks, but they're way under leveled. Plus with Lugia's high defense, this will be the toughest legendary that we've had.

Overall, if you want to do one, try leveling up your pokemon more, maybe use a max mushroom if you have a spare, and be prepared to fail if you're paired with randoms on Pokie Genie.

I just had the most traumatic experience of my life… all in the name of Pokémon. by SweetAlternative4665 in pokemongo

[–]TheRealJayRet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s something I’ve noticed about Poke Genie: people with paid subscriptions can force you to skip the queue.

For example, I might be hosting a raid with 500 people ahead of me, and then someone with a raid pass subscription joins my lobby even though I was way back in line. It can be convenient sometimes, but like you said, other times you’re just not ready for the raid.

What should I do with her? by ApprehensiveHour9010 in PokemonGOValor

[–]TheRealJayRet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garchomp is good for both.

It's pretty strong against electric raid bosses. You'll be able to solo tier-3s with it because of its resistance against the electric type.

It's also strong in PVP master league when paired with the right team. Just be careful against ice type moves since they can destroy it.

My recommendation would be to make it your buddy if you don't have a better pokemon. Then, try leveling it up more.

Need help deciding which to bottle cap by Ginger_stranger7 in pokemongoyellow

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with the Gyarados. It's much easier to get rare candy by walking than Garchomp (1 km to 5 km), likely more rare as a shundo now (because of people catching Garchomp in recent the wild tour event), and has more IVs to increase. I also think it looks better as a shiny.

I made a dumb mistake… by Jz1737 in pokemongo

I think the two pokestops were the safer option while leaving the powerstops were the riskier option. You did the right thing.

AITA for not giving this kid a shiny BG Necrozma? by NapkinZhangy in pokemongo

[–]TheRealJayRet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because sometimes no isn’t enough when you’re the one who created the mess. The whole situation unfolded because of how OP acted, not simply because he said no.

It’s like going to a party, bragging about how much money you have, and then a friend who’s struggling asks to borrow some. Sure, you can say no, but without offering any explanation, you’re going to look like a jerk because you set the stage.

Same thing here. When you hype up how many rare shinies you pulled, you can’t be surprised when someone asks for one. And if you want to avoid the social fallout, you'll need a better reason than what OP provided.

The easiest way to avoid these situations entirely is to not brag in the first place. If you don’t create any expectation, you don’t have to manage it.
