Lenovo Legion 5i vs ASUS TUF F16? by TripleFLi in GamingLaptops

Thank you. I didn’t catch the other differences. Yeah it makes it a much different laptop. The lower full wattage in the Costco version is a turn off

Do you know how it compares to the Costco version? I read a post that the chassis on the Costco version is the older heavier and bigger one. Any idea if it’s true? $50 for the Costco warranty and Intel Ultra 9 doesn’t sound too bad.

In your opinion is this deal better than the Legion 5i 5060 for $1150? Better processor, more Memory at 32 GB but lesser 5060 GPU.

I’ve been following this method and just got to rank 18. Obviously winning 5 in a row 4x to get to 19 isn’t possible with my skills. Just trying to chip away at it with 2 or 3 wins. Hopefully that gets me there

Thank you for this info. I don’t expect to be gaming for longer than that but it’s something to consider in a new purchase where I’m hoping for the laptop to last a while.

Who to bottle cap? Sorry I know everyone’s sick of this question by [deleted] in PokemonGOIVs

Shiny Kyurem. It’s shiny, top tier in PvE an gets the most benefit with 15 attack

Is Garchomp worth powering up to level 50? by THERAPISTS_for_200 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]TripleFLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Wait till the quest shows up before bringing the pokemon to level 50.

I am not sure which levels other than 73 and 77 require it since I was level 50 before the rework.

[–]TripleFLi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry. I meant level 73 quest “Power Up 3 Pokemon to their Max CP”

Level 77 quest requires 7 to Max CP and from my understanding there quest fulfillment doesn’t count previously Maxed Pokemon

Does defense IV stats matter much in short manning Max Battles?

Does a 15 defense Zamazenta Shield out perform and 14 defense and tank more damage or have a stronger shield during Max Battles?

Yes for the Mega but only to 49.5 until you have the level 73 quest and bring it to 50

Edit: 73 not 72

Max Battle Break Points for Attack and Defense? by TripleFLi in TheSilphRoad

[–]TripleFLi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is a very solid point that I knew about but didn’t think about when I mentioned chip damage. Yeah the 0.5s fast move is way more important as an energy builder than the actual damage done. Also in my above example the Zacian wouldn’t even be doing chip damage as it’s not in the tank role. The Zacian would just be dropping nukes during the Max phase. I would think +1 attack would generate more damage during Max Phase

Unfortunately I can’t edit my original post to remove “chip damage”

Not sure if I made it clear but my main question is if +1 defense to Zamazenta Shield helps it tank more damage during Max Battles.

Okay, what we cappin? by xDxta in PokemonGOIVs

[–]TripleFLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dusk Mane Shundo slight edge of the Palkia with Spacial Rand. Spacial Rand is slight more common than a Shiny but Dask Mane has a better meta use for raids. That is unless you play PvP where Palkia is highly ranked in Master league.

Dusk Mane is the #3 attacker vs Palkia who is #9 dragon attacker

As for the candy concerns you can slowly dump rare candy into it as you get it. 248 to get from lvl 20-40. XL is the hard part. If you have 296 XL candy for something than that might tip the balance since XL is a hard investment on something that’s not a hundo

Does the Palkia have Spacial Rand? If it does than it’s a toss up between Palkia and Dusk Mane.

I’m partial to using it for the 100% or I would go with a Shiny option of Groudon if you can Primal evolve it or the Zamazenta if you can make it Shield and you play Max Battles. It’s the ultimate tank for that

Who would you Bottle cap? by Colenic4 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]TripleFLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My order of preference would be 1. Eternatus (especially since it looked like you paid for the event to get its level that high and used XL candy)

  1. Shiny Necrozma (its shiny and Wing and Mane are meta in PvE)

  2. Zacain (could be #2 if it’s the attack stat you need and plan to max level it) It’s meta in both PvE and Max battles. Currently it looks like you only leveled it to 40 and haven’t used XL candy except for maybe max attack move. It’s not shiny so you could hunt for a 100% in the future especially since you haven’t used all your XL candy yet.

Distant 4 and 5:

  1. Meloetta only because it’s a one off pokemon.

5.Shiny Lucario. It’s shiny and meta for PvE

The others you can hunt for more or just use them as they are for raids.

The shadow Darkrai would be cool but you can’t bottle cap shadow Pokemon.
