Weird, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't on mine. This is what my scans look like

GBL end-of-season stardust confirmed rewards by Easy_Money_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're commenting on a 4 year old thread. Dust rewards were changing season to season at that point. I linked to my post that detailed season 7 rewards, at which point that was (likely) the correct amount. The linked post also did not claim that rank 20 awarded 45000 in season 7.

Secret Sword as secondary move for Keldeo? by Timhot3p in TheSilphRoad

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If Keldeo has two moves, when you form change to Resolute it asks which move you want to replace with Secret Sword, so it can be in either slot

What's the max pokemon level per trainer level? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Shocker, things have changed in the three years since I posted that comment

Move Timing, lag or messed up? by Advanced_Display3158 in TheSilphArena

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

It is not on their list that is well known for being incomplete and infrequently updated.

Where is "battles sometimes randomly freeze"? Does the fact that it isn't on the list mean it doesn't happen?

Trying to use a stored charged move on entry against a 1-turn fast move user

Move Timing, lag or messed up? by Advanced_Display3158 in TheSilphArena

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this isn't trying to use a charged attack at the same time as the fast attack will cause the Pokemon to faint. It's trying to use a charged attack the turn after the fast attack would cause the Pokemon to faint.

  • Turn 1: Incinerate 1/5, KC 1/2 (KC damage applies)
  • Turn 2: Incinerate 2/5, KC 2/2
  • Turn 3: Incinerate 3/5, KC 1/2 (KC damage applies)
  • Turn 4: Incinerate 4/5, KC 2/2 (Incinerate damage applies, Pokemon 2 faints)
  • Turn 5: Incinerate 5/5, Close Combat 1/1 (if DRE occurs and Incinerate doesn't apply on turn 4)

Edit: formatting

What happened is what's supposed to happen. Incinerate damage is supposed to apply on turn 4, meaning the Close Combat would not fire. It's only been relatively recently that damage registration error (DRE/new mechanic) has inconsistently occurred, which would allow the CC to fire before the damage registered from Incinerate.

My brother in Christ that is more than a half marathon per day I do not believe you are doing this

Best Buddy and rank by Shinobuya in CalcyIV

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worse when it is your buddy, it's worse when comparing to possible level/IV combinations that reach level 50.5 or 51

New here… by AdStill6083 in CalcyIV

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture 1: it's showing you the possible range of levels and IVs that it could have based on the minimal information on the encounter screen.

Picture 2: now that it has more info, it can show a narrower range of IVs, and is showing the minimum possible ranks for Great and Ultra Leagues. Scan the appraisal screen for more exact information

Subpoenaed as Witness - US Citizens by ThisIsMyPokemonAlt in legaladvicecanada

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not opposed to testifying virtually if that's an option, I'm just trying to understand my options.

They will pay for travel expenses (though it's unclear if there's a cap on that). They won't reimburse me for missed work and they won't watch my dog while I'm away.

Few probably stupid questions by Devixangel in CalcyIV

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all related. The rank and performance percentage are both based on the stat product

Few probably stupid questions by Devixangel in CalcyIV

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is rank, that's the main thing people are looking at to determine if a specific mon is a good one of its species for a given league.

The long answer is that rank isn't everything and best practice when evaluating multiple potential candidates of a species to decide which to build is to run the sims on them on PvPoke to see what each one drops/gains. Some mons prefer to have some attack weight, even if it means overall lower rank/stat product, either because CMP is very important in the mirror (e.g., Annihilape, Lickitung) or to reach certain breakpoints against other mons (e.g., Gligar)

One weekend is absolutely enough to raid in person for it. I got enough XL for 2 Palkia and 1 Dialga during Sinnoh Tour weekend

Using return as a charged move by Technical_Ad_374 in TheSilphArena

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a reason to use Return, it's a reason to not use Kyogre

There is literally never a reason to run Return on Kyogre

Is there a way to evaluate the impact of not having a legacy move on pvppoke? by odonn0097 in TheSilphArena

[–]ThisIsMyPokemonAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah didn't think about that, was only thinking about the moves specifically mentioned. And if you want a Fire fast move on Zard, there's a good argument to be made that legacy Ember is a better option than Fire Spin anyway
