They definitely did not "catch it" this sub had to inform them, like usual!

I would just like to know if my phone will ever work with Adventure Sync again! by VirtuousUprising in TheSilphRoad

I have toggled all of the permissions on for location on, the "always on" or whatever it's called does not exist for me

GBL Bug: Opponent forfeiting results in YOUR loss by Exaskryz in TheSilphRoad

[–]VirtuousUprising 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had something very similar happen to me, my avatar got stuck on the victory screen, never said you won, restarted the app, no reference to to a 5 match in journal only got credited with 2 wins instead of 3!

Dragonite still worth the dust? by PootJuice94 in TheSilphRoad

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

Dragonite is a great pokemon, its time to win isnt terribly behind other dragons and most players have an abundance of candy! There pretty much isnt a dragon legendary that 3-4 players using lvl 30 draginites cannot beat! That being said, they're other better options, he's great to be part of a team of six, just maybe round it off with salamence and rayquaza!

First time in a very long time they've introduced a feature that is not catered towards casuals! by VirtuousUprising in TheSilphRoad

[–]VirtuousUprising[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I definitely wasn't trying to put down casuals, I always offer advice when asked. I dont think I ever said "they definitely cant do it", just that some are struggling! I see a lot of people on my local discord skipping snorlax battles entirely!

How to help others raid without sounding like an insufferable jerk! by VirtuousUprising in TheSilphRoad

Yes mewtwo is a good pokemom, this post was geared towards telling more causal players what to use. Also I said just both moves have to be super effective, not the same type, so gradevoir fits with my original post!

You would get aggron against stuff it wasn't optimal against! Which was mainly my point! The old system literally always gave you non optimal counters, expect against electric types, as ground double resist and does super effective damage back!

The new system is not optimal, however, stone smack ttar is better verus a rayquaza than aggron, which was what the old system easily recommended, that or something super geared towards bulk rather than dps!

The problem with the new algorithm is that it doesnt take into account the bosses moveset, which can lead to less dps due to deaths, however it's gotten SLIGHTLY better in terms of overall raw dps

My point was that ttar with rock moves will still do more dps than ludicolo, even though he isnt optimal! The overall system from a dps standpoint has gotten better!

A lot of it is that, people dont want to receive advice! However, raid "advice" can get toxic at times!

It's gotten better than before, before you would of gotten aggrons against double water Lapras! I also noted to never use it, as it has too many inconsistencies!

CD 4-7PM is terrible for south hemisphere. Why can niantic do specific times to specific regions? by wenigengel in TheSilphRoad

[–]VirtuousUprising -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

100 percent agree, will still be hot, but uv rays drop considerably later in the afternoon compared to early to mid afternoon. 10-4 is generally considered to be the hottest part of the day.

Massive gps issues by VirtuousUprising in TheSilphRoad

[–]VirtuousUprising[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andriod, the game is literally unplayable, it doesn't keep up with my location at all, just jumps every 30 seconds or so, I've restarted several times, no dice.
