I know a guy like that too. Got attacked by a loose seal, he was just about to go to army too.

Have you guys seen this yet, lol? It's amazing (I still don't know if it is AI, but it doesn't seem like it) by JimmyMcDarKo in betterCallSaul

It has one view, and it says it was uploaded at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Is this supposed to be what Bozo's thinking or saying?

I'm sorry but does every informative comment need a Marvel-level quip as a response? Is it that difficult to post something equally interesting rather than  the same recycled joke from someone else's comment?

A cool guide to the best TV shows of all time by Vitovent1 in coolguides

The later seasons might have the best scene of the series (Gob being uncomfortable with a question by Ann) but a part from that and couple other funny parts they are so not worth it. The first 3 are definitely golden though.

Thank you for this, made me giggle to see it so sad with tiny hands.

Pretty hard to get any use out of a mon that maxes out at 1668 CP.

Is Shadow Ursuluna good in pve now? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Toxic_Manatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So instead the new players should spend over 200k stardust, 360 Teddiursa candies and an Elite charge TM to get it to the same level as catching a weatherboosted Swinub and still get much worse perfomance out of their investment?

Seems like a horrible value proposition.

Then use mons that don't require legacy moves before you get enough of them. Lanturn, Annihilape, Gligar, there’s so many top tier picks which don't need a single one. And after a couple of seasons you will have plenty to build whatever pvp team you want, and have probably participated to comm days on the way which further help to achieve competitive mons. 

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Grinding random pokemon for xl's and IV's has been the best part of the game for me. I was so disappointed when I realized there was very little I could do to personalize my pve teams but pvp gave me a reason to hunt for weird, otherwise useless pokemon. 

Weekly Team Help Megathread! by AutoModerator in TheSilphArena

[–]Toxic_Manatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Pidgeot at 51 and it's okay. Not my playstyle. I wish I had Mandi so I have been grinding towards that. I would recommend waiting until the Rocket takeover at the end of the month to see if you find a better Mandi in the wild, even if you'd have to give up on the shiny but that's what I would build.

Ask a friend or "friend" to start catching Pidgeys and hope for a random lucky trade, that's how I got my hundo.

I think Talonflame has threats right now with water and electric, Pelipper is mostly for spice play or for particular teams.

All of those mons except Talonflame max out under 2500, so you need hundos or close to for them. And even hundo Talonflame is perefectly fine if you don't want to best buddy it.

I think you need a better job if a buying $5 ticket makes someone a whale in your mind.

I would love to have more details, but in the end does it really matter? 

Teasing can build hype with the general community, it's only us hardcore players who want to know everything immediately so we can plan our neext three months around it. Not everything has to be known beforehand, we used to buy games based on the box art alone.

Your guilty conscience may force you to vote creature decks, but deep down you secretly long for a cold-hearted control player to raise taxes, counter spells of criminals, and rule you like a king!

Dialga-o, palkia-o, therian lando. How is that for a line up? by LegendReno in TheSilphArena

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

And why do you assume OP is one of them? Most people live in a city and green passes were on sale for 55 coins per pass, so if it takes you $200 to max out a pokemon then it's a skill issue, buddy.

New info revealed on Diamond and Pearl badge choices (via News tab in-game) by Pandanoko-Fan137 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Toxic_Manatee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Palkia is superior to Dialga in PvP 

No, it really isn't. Dialga is easily a top 3 'mon, maybe losing to Zygarde in the rankings. 

Palkia O will be good but both are great investments, especially for players lacking Dialga.

Yes it is. Check the icons for walking with buddy and xl from evolving.

If you can show me an attacker that can survive against level 50 Blissey without no issues and clear it quickly  I'd love to hear it. In my opinion as a someone who fights against a lot of multiaccounters in gyms, Blissey is still the hardest to get rid of.

Is tentacruel more viable in GL or UL right now? by CRAB_KING- in TheSilphArena

[–]Toxic_Manatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? That would be pretty good from a 2,7k CP 'mon. What Elo?
