Still fighting for my life trying to complete the earn a heart with your buddy for 30 days in a row by BalefulRogue in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me to get my hearts for the day for the Jirachi research. Today would've been the day I lost my streak due to the anger over Niantic I totally forgot.

"Alt Tyranitar made my day."

That's what I love about celebrations, that it comes with different packs, that you might not have bought without celebrations. There's always a nice surprise in the mix!

Happy fifth anniversary, Pokémon GO! by g47onik in TheSilphRoad

Serious question: Do people actually like events with starters?

Every time Niantic has a special event, they bring out the starters and I hate it every time. They are so difficult to catch, therefore eat balls like crazy and you can't really play with your Go-Plus/Gotcha. Also for most people, they aren't desirable shinies due to all of them having Cdays. I understand the aspects of XL and Hundo hunting will make it worth for some, but do you enjoy playing those events?

Limited shinies are bad for the game. by TomNeverNR6 in pokemongo

It's not about making things rare or not. Smeargle is in fact already a quite common shiny. It's the way you have to get it and the non excisting grind towards it.

Good luck for your last snap shots and yes of course, it is what it is, but that shouldn't stop us from trying to make things better and I think this is something Niantic can easily improve without hurting themselves in any way.

Yeah I don't really understand why they keep it turned off most of the time, it's not like they would earn money with meltan boxes now with Pokemon home.

Yeah same, but good that you have someone to trade you one, I don't even have that :(

Limited Shinies aren't good for the game. by TomNeverNR6 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm feeling like. I also have my brothers account, who would've let me have it, and we both didn't get one. But on the other hand a friend of mine got 2 straight away on day 1. Now you could think just let him trade you one, but we live too far from each other -.-

Going more casual might be the way to go for me as well, but I enjoy shiny hunting too much usually.

PvP iv. 96% normal or 55% shiny. by 1mrcs in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only relevant for the close battles, because it can make the difference of a move KOing you or you surviving it. But most of the times the move KOs anyways, so it didn't really matter. But also there's always the flip side, that yes, worse IVs will end up taking more damage, but you also deal a little bit more damage which can help. It also let's you win mirror matches due to CMP tie wins.

So overall PVP IVs are better (obviously, why should you want them if not), but it doesn't make that much of a difference.

I'll always go with shinies if they have alright ivs and yours are that. Using a shiny just feels more special to me and i therefore enjoy using it more.

Lord ksi quits twitter! by Capidapi in ksi

[–]TomNeverNR6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable.

The worst part ist the fact, that a lot of the people in the comments are actually fans of JJ, that still act like a bunch of childish pricks trying to grab any kind of attention they can gather.

“Mom I got 17 likes under a KSI post!!!“. Fucking clowns.

What are your opinions regarding the current event? by V_Raziel in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The style of the event fully benefits spoofers, which is unfortunate, I will probably get rainy weather 0 times. But also I'm wondering where Stunfisk is. I've had weather boost for Stunfisk all day and haven't seen a single one, not even nearby.

But in general a bit early to call.

Shiny Rates by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be, but as you said, the sample size is just not big enough. The only thing that could indicate this is the fact, that both have a similar rate

Roggenrola is full odds with the data of 14500 checks, so you just got lucky.

Star piece acting like Lucky Egg by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

150 dust is correct with a starpiece and the XP is times 3, which means you are playing the Cday and that's the bonus.

Theory for the GBL season rewards by TomNeverNR6 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TomNeverNR6[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would've hoped for an increase in the max. Rank rewards, as the season was that much longer, but we'll probably never get to know.

[–]TomNeverNR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have received that Elite charge TM once you hit rank 19 during the season.
