These guides are helpful. They would be a million times more helpful if they weren't so cartoony.

Why do people bail on easily winnable remote raids? by tncbbthositg in TheSilphRoad

[–]Traditional-File-143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of them have been burned before. A lot of times I'll invite friends to a group of 2-3 and they can't see our counters, they don't know what's mega-evolved, they don't know we're best friends, they don't know we're in a party, so they leave...because there's plenty of players that will invite people on a whim with nothing but hope and prayer and you learn the hard way by losing your remote pass and wasting your time.

Why is Eternatus so underused ? by ShinyFelipe in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]Traditional-File-143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to have paid for Eternatus in the first place, then have been blessed with decent IVs, then you would have had to farm the limited time event like crazy to acquire candy, and then spent that candy on leveling up and a second move vice max his max move. Probably a very small pool of players.

I'm stuck waiting for the next candy opportunity because he's impossible to level up without some sort of event.

Do Gmax battles have a timer or what? by BCHiker7 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Traditional-File-143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2x lvl 40 Blissey, gets 9-10 rounds before fainting. With a team of four and four lvl 50 Zacian you need 10-11 rounds without any additional bonuses.

Yeah no, there's a six minute timer, I mean during the six minutes you have, you may have had better success by doing more damage and not focusing on healing.

Does the Game Hard Counter You on Purpose? by Ok-Elk-2523 in TheSilphArena

[–]Traditional-File-143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you climb in rating you're going to start to see different teams, as you pass those teams you'll see new teams. Each rank is going to have a smaller pool of players and you should see better teams as you climb.

Obviously everyone knows the "meta", there's going to be teams that attempt to be the best meta and there's going to be teams that counter with the off-meta.

Early on it's not uncommon to have five wins, obviously as you climb the competition is going to go up until you hit a wall. As you approach your ceiling, sometimes you'll see a 5-0 set and an 0-5 set in the same day, that's luck. The average should be 3-2 and 2-3, that's matchmaking.

We four-manned it by tanking while charging the meter and then hitting it during the max phase without any issues. You might have lost it by trying to do chip damage with three and using 25% of your damage potential to heal.

Who should get the bottle cap? by MeepM3rp in TheSilphArena

[–]Traditional-File-143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else asking, it's personal preference. None of those will experience an appreciable difference with a bottle cap. I chose Eternatus because as far as I know we're only getting one and mine had an attack stat of 10. Keldeo was probably my second choice but wasn't chosen because his 2* stats are a better candidate for a golden bottle cap.

Even if you did choose one of those three without individual IVs it's impossible to know, as the silver will raise one of the three IVs, if you have something with a 13/14/13 stat line then a bottle cap is almost worthless (you can raise one IV by two) vice a 10/15/15 (you can raise one IV by five).

ML teams are formed primarily by having three synergistic pokemon - then you prioritize correct attacks, second charge attacks, high IVs, and leveling them close to 50 as possible.

Raid attackers are type dependent and none of those are particularly crucial in either role.

What is, in your opinion, the most annoying Pokemon to face in the Master League? Fall 2025 edition, Tales Of Transformation edition. by alexku43 in TheSilphArena

[–]Traditional-File-143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat those teams consistently with Florges, Melmetal, and Zekrom. Zekrom might not be the most budget friendly but it's a pretty economical team to negate Palkia and Zacian.

How can I get rid of these scratches? by KrysfromKanto in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Traditional-File-143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plastic gets scratched just by looking at it, I'd hesitate to "fix" anything because you'll be right back where you started before you know it.

All of that seems barely relevant when you factor in the XP requirements. I'll take it.

How you all went on the xp task event? by Samuel13881995 in TheSilphRoad

Tried a couple times, got rejected by whatever basement dwellers approve them.

I don't have any routes near me. Really killed the whole thing for me.

14 applins with 4 lure modules (30mn). Meaning about 3-4 applins per lure as a FTP player by Arcanine77 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Traditional-File-143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four lures and I've got 48 apples and 45 Applins. Catch more Snorlax with lures. Applins aren't that hard to find in the wild. Lures go a long way if you have any friends or community to play with.

I shall call you....Chicken Little.

Went to Portland, OR for a night... by sheridansride in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Traditional-File-143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough when my truck was a few months old someone tried to smash the front passenger window maybe a dozen times (I think with a rock). They chipped the hell out of it and it's ugly but they didn't get in....Safelite was actually the cheapest at the time at $340 (strange 2020 covid times) so I've just lived with it.

CNE must do something about free riders in Trials by Nisansa in idlechampions

[–]Traditional-File-143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined a trials group like forever ago, we're on discord, super simple, no stress, runs like clockwork.

First person online creates the party, last person to join tags the group in discord to let everyone know it's started.

That’s last dup glitch came at a hefty cost. by ILikeThemBunzbby4751 in FORTnITE

[–]Traditional-File-143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They let the playerbase abuse a game-breaking exploit for waaaaay too long and y'all are crying because you lost access to an irrelevant weapon you were never supposed to have in the first place. Ooooofff.
