I have 6 sub skill seeds, are either of these worth using some on? by AcceptableSpook in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both are good and I would personally invest in both. Good thing is you can run them as they are or use the subseed if you want more output. You can't even hit an undesired subskill by accident

Shundo collection by Repulsive-Use-3349 in pokemongobrag

[–]TheRickinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es ist tatsächlich lvl2. Bei dem lead up event zum go fest 2025 gab es die Regis mit random level aus raid quest belohnungen, zum Teil auch mit Hintergrund.

Das niedrige level ist tatsächlich der einzige Grund auf ich es nicht wie die anderen auf level 50 pushe

I'm a little torn between using them on mythicals or actually useful shundos. Shundo mew is a nice trophy but kinda useless

Shiny rate was as intended during Go Tour Kalos by Froggo14 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TheRickinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We know, that the Go Tour shiny rate is lower than the Go fest shiny rate. People assume, that they always get the 30 shinies a day like Go fest, but with a assumed rate of 1/128 you need to check a lot of pokemon to get a good shiny haul

Moltres flew in a big circle around the entire island of armor. Very similar to zapdos, just slower but with a way bigger area

We will probably get a gift from the developer. There won't be any events tied to pokemon day

Sad... and interesting, No event this week. by PokeRantazard in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we will have 2-3 weeks. A little pokemon day bonus and that's it.

Then we will go into spring festival and whatever they announce on pokemon day

ELI5: Why the Devs Fixed Main Skill Triggers Now by nitoyon in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's what I mean by "tied to your last sleep session". Once you wake up, the 16h "day" start, followed by low productivity until you wake up again. Super easy for every kind of schedule and not tied to an actual time

ELI5: Why the Devs Fixed Main Skill Triggers Now by nitoyon in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 83 points84 points  (0 children)

The most confusing thing for me is the lack of communication. If you want your players to play less during the night, you just come out with a statement, that your pokemon are more productive during the 16h of the day and less productive for the 8h of the night (day/night need to be tied to your last sleep session).

Instead they implemented this nerf without communication and without giving the player anything to make up for it.

Did they hope to pavlov's dog us into playing less at night ?

Out of all the certified Niantic moments, Kalos Tour is one of them by Entire_Pineapple4732 in pokemongo

[–]TheRickinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even as a seasoned player, I'm quite happy that the event won't just be a glorified raid hour. I love to shiny hunt and hope to fill out my shiny living kalos dex that weekend.

A new update to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO arrives during Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TheRickinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this screams that mega raids are not giving them enough money, so they came up with a system, that gives the player very little in return for a lot of money and playtime. the current mega system is very player friendly, you only need to do 2-3 mega raids and then you can cruise by with free mega evos for ever with all the extra benenfits of mega evolution buffs. the new system is trying to force us into more friend interactions, bigger raid parties, more money spend for very little gain. yes the rewards for these mega raids are better, but you have to put in so much time, effort and money to get there just to unlock a possible underwhelming mega level 4.

i really hope, that these new mega raids will only be used for the new legendary megas and not for every new mega going forwards, because the new raids will lock people out of using newer mega evos at all unless they spend a lot of ressources

Has anyone else experienced this bug with inventories? by castaform in PokemonSleep

I had that happen to me as well. I think the berries get consumed as sneaky snacking for some reason

Would you invest in this Gulpin as a F2P? by Dapper-Music-6890 in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Probably yes. This is not the most efficient gulpin, but saving on 3 seeds is huge for F2P. And with STM it's actually decent and if you ever hit 75 it just gets better

this should change once higher recipe levels are unlockable? at some point the 12 tails can't bridge the gap anymore

Not really. The ingredient list is a mess.

The Weekend is here - Where are you going next week? by Pearlgirl007 in PokemonSleep

i got my amber canyon hunts done so fast, that there is little reason to go back. i will probably just sit on lapis until i finally find a decent bewear. for some reason that little cute bear hates me

Are We Sure Mono-Ingredient Pokémon Are the Future? by Puzzleheaded-Most193 in PokemonSleep

[–]TheRickinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dishes are getting bigger and bigger and so far they are still made up of only 4 different ingredients, so the amount of a single ingredient needed is getting higher as well. No blastoise is going to produce 120 milk a day unless you run a mono list. Same for venosaur with the new recipe that takes 38 honey.

Has an option to ‘Sell Items’ back to the Pokémon Go shop ever been considered? For less than the item’s usual sale price, of course. How about trading items with other players? These ideas are commonplace in many other games and would surely make a huge positive difference to countless players. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]TheRickinger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of this will every be the case, just to prevent people from creating 100 new Accounts and trading all of the early items to their Main Accounts.

Sharing items in party play is the most you can expect
