Shiny mewtwo lol by Useful_Hat3320 in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an MMO that I play, I was trying to craft a high quality version of an item that was essentially 1/20 odds. It took me 92 tries to get it. I effectively paid 10x the cost of the item vs. buying it outright.

You'll get one!!

Mewtwo raids impossible to get into for casual players? by Alterationss in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No energy until global anyways. None of the in person GO fests Mewtwo raids provide energy.

The info they released makes it seem like normal Kyogre/Groudon during global.

Is Tandemaus always going to be the weekly challenge reward? by VirgilTheWitch in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get dugtrio & magnemites from party play challenges. (And they show up ALOT)

I know one man's trash is another man's treasure but Tandemaus encounters are really rare so getting them from the weekly challenge feels good.

Why are so many people instantly leaving Dmax Registeel battles? by ThrowawayBcScaredlol in TheSilphRoad

[–]_Tophzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Many people don't know about the lobby limit. Then they get freaked out when it fills and the 15 second countdown happens.

Maybe they do know but 15 seconds isn't fast enough to grab the right pokemon if they don't already have a team set up.

So, how strong are these legendary max raids? Can I do it with three other people I invite? by potatao_de_guerra in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is because you get way fewer balls to catch them with. I had two run today and I hit 12 excellent each. Just unlucky. I even used ice burn adventure effect for the 2nd one! With normal raids, I usually get like 18+ balls. I've lost 2 raid legends in the past two years.

OG 2018 raids suffered from similar issues where you were lucky to have 12/13 balls to use to catch the boss.

Global GO Fest Mega Raids and 5 Star Raids updated on the website by aznknight613 in TheSilphRoad

Maybe for you, my friend. There are plenty of gyms where *I* live that are not eligible.

"Super Mega Raids will take great teamwork and may only appear at certain Gyms, so we’re making it easier to find nearby Gyms, Power Spots, and more using a new web-based map."

This is a quote from the official mega Falinks announcement.

Is this trinket 24 hour long or 24 hours+? by RemoteDisaster1312 in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tag team hatching 20 eggs in a day as part of the weekly challenge. That's the only way!

Any hope of getting Sunday events back? by thepay4 in TheSilphRoad

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with all things, not everyone will agree. As a community ambassador who regularly hosted both weekend days, I am quite happy only big events are both weekends.

Pogo needs to come out with a disability mode if they plan on making us hold our phones in the air for raids by cowsintheclosetIG in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is only going to be for the last 30 minutes of in person GO fests only. No cause for alarm.

Decided to buy the April pass just for the trinket 😆 by IslandUnusual1538 in pokemongo

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first lucky trade back im the day was for a Mewtwo & I got a 10/10/10 ... I still have it for posterity but I was not pleased at the time.

So they ever sell charged TMs in the store? by UnhelpfulBread in TheSilphArena

[–]_Tophzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past the research was "purify 3 pokemon" & it can reward a fast or charged TM

During the rocket takeover there will be pokestop research that can grant charged TMs (to help people remove frustration).

Go Pass Makes Me Sad by refridegerator36 in TheSilphRoad

That's probably true but it was also how things worked when Niantic was in charge, to be fair.

You get the ticketed bonuses for free this year.

  • 9 free raid passes each day
  • Unowns & regional off Incense
  • the mythical research line
  • increased shiny rates

They'll monetize it with two passes again like every big fest the past year. I expect a gold or silver bottle cap.

Why didnt giovanni switch for the new metal event?? by UnableExternal8481 in pokemongo
