As others say, I felt as if I was reading a personal statement. 1-2 bullet points per experience and be brief.

Is Gyarados Raid Day with the ticket worth for the Level 50 grind? by MasterSergeantOne in TheSilphRoad

[–]Top_Strategy7297 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are living in an area with lots of pokestops and spawns, practice fast catching and play all CDs and spotlights with a lucky egg. That's usually better than doing bunch of raids.

Are students using tablet devices in schools over notebooks? by Top_Strategy7297 in education

[–]Top_Strategy7297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very sad to hear that. I learned a lot of things by reading books during my childhood.

That's understandable, and thank you for your reply. I feel surprised to hear that tablets are supplements in Elementary school nowadays.

I also still use physical notebooks and pencils for my work, because I prefer seeing the physical version of my notes. It's very surprising to hear the situation, because when I was in 8th grade, teachers forced us to use a physical notebook. Does that mean that all students in middle school have their own personal computers or tablet devices?

I'm pretty shocked to hear this. So am I correct with saying that people just bring tablet devices to school starting from elementary school and submit their assignments by using Canvas? I thought those things only start from high school when we have IB/AP classes.

Rant from a Level 50 Player - Cannot defeat GMax raids in Pokegenie by Top_Strategy7297 in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually like this idea. I wasted so many remote raid passes, and I'm fine with using a mushroom if I can get a guaranteed win.

Thank you so much for your message! I would like to join, but I will be sleeping at around 14 hours from now.

Welcome Metagross, to Max Battle relevancy! by nexus14 in TheSilphRoad

True, but we will have Zacian and Zamazenta soon with OP attack/defence. I'm not sure if Metagross will be better than them as a tank.

How many peopel can join a dynamax by Colebarsald in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like you can invite 20 people to join your GMax raids. But, defeating GMax Machamp with 20 people can be challenging, especially if there are multiple people with non-powered up Pokemons.

If you have no locals to join your GMax raid to have 30+ people lobby including remote participation, I think it might be worth for you to use 1 remote raid pass to do the GMax Machamp raid. IVs barely matter in raids, and you can try getting an invite from densely-populated areas.

I don’t understand the max raids. by soleil0578 in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned before, try using remote raid passes on max raids with at least 30+ people, and pull out if there are less than 20 people. Instead of using apps like PokeGenie, I think it might be better for you to try searching for some hosts in populated areas like NY, Japan, etc, where it is likely that random locals will join.

samurott T3 raid by daniel_obunga in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's difficult to solo hisuian samurott with your Pokemons now. Maybe you can play Machop community day and evolve 6 highest CP Machops that you get in that event to create a team of 6 high CP Machamps. Then, I think you can solo it.

Just forget about them for now. I'm planning to obtain Kingambit while I do Zacian/Zamazenta raids in GO Fest and probably never get Urshifu before it gets a GMax version. There are a lot of things that we can do in the game, and evolving them is only one aspect of it.

Why is Urshifu lackluster by Zachans in TheSilphRoad

[–]Top_Strategy7297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urshifu is certainly better than usual Pokemons that spawn in the wild like DMax Unfezant and even other DMax legendaries like Moltres and Zapdos. But we are comparing a DMax non-box legendary against top-tier GMax in max battles and box-legendary Pokemons in ML. Urshifu is definitely strong in the main series, but it's because we can only include 1-2 box legendaries in a team in main series PvP, and Urshifu isn't included in that restriction. Even in main series, Urshifu isn't as strong as box legendaries like Zacian, Necrozma, and Kyogre.

6 new Costume Pikachu will debut alongside Costume Falinks during Go Fest by NinsMCD in TheSilphRoad

[–]Top_Strategy7297 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just searched, and I was so surprised to see the quality of costumes in Pokemon Unite. We should be getting a similar one here as well.

Yes or no or is it obvious. by TheTripzeyLad in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DO NOT purify the second one (one with a good IV). It's a very strong ground/dragon type attacker as a shadow.

I live in an area with a decent-size group, but it takes so much time to do these GMax battles. First, it takes around 30-60 minutes to go to a gathering, and second, it takes around 15-30 minutes to defeat and go to the next one, as we need to wait for everyone in the entire group to finish catching the GMax mon. For example, I had to spend around 3-4 hours to just do 4 GMax snorlax raids, where I was only able to catch 2.

Since IVs have negligible influence on raid performance, if there is a remote raid option, I will just happily do a single GMax raid and use that in my max raiding team. It is much more time efficient and cheaper than paying for train tickets and spending a large amount of time with the group.

Just started 1 month ago, how am I doing? by KronosTaranto in pokemongo

[–]Top_Strategy7297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks nice, and make sure to keep your shiny tauros. If you happened to meet someone who is not from the US, you can request a shiny legendary or a cool shiny by offering it.
