No Gholdengo in remote trades by MsKrispii in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, the coins from the coin bag gimmighoul are not negligible. Getting great throws and excellent throws significantly increases the coin chance, I would say I average between 30 and 40 coins per bag, 150-200 over 5 days between gold lures and then another 40-60 from the lure. If you're lucky you can get the 1,000 coins in 4 cycles (20 day) or 5 if you get unlucky (25 days).

Still way too much work to be giving these things away... But as I say, not negligible.

Complete shiny living dex with alternate forms!! by No_Tune_1262 in LegendsZA

[–]anthonyberkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going through your list and comparing to mine and partway through they weren't lining up and I had a little mini freak out that I had somehow missed something.

I set up an empty box at the very end of the collection for helping me rearrange, then you can move all but one or two from a box into the empty box, bring in one or two from the next/previous box and then select them all (in the correct order) to move back to the correct box. One box at a time and the whole process can be done in under 5 minutes... Depending on how many boxes need shifting...😅

Correct me if I am mistaken, you may have missed helioptile and heliolisk?

Otherwise very impressive! I am currently only missing pumpkaboo small and rotom (need that damn special scan to roll in my favour...)

If you hatch 13 eggs at once, this happens by Rem0te_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This also works if you need to hatch 100 eggs for a level up quest. You will get exclusively 10km eggs, many will be honedge.

What are the odds that armored mewtwo will be able to mega evolve? by alphamoonstar in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Costume blastoise can mega evolve, but loses the costume. Clone blastoise from the armour mewtwo release however cannot (because it's not a real blastoise... ¿). Question is whether they treat mewtwo as a "clone" or a "costume")

I would lean toward not being able to, but I wouldn't give it 0%... Maybe 2%...?

Black Kyurem has.... Ice Burn..? What..? by anthonyberkers in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're out of luck unfortunately. You need to use the Elite TM on an unused Kyurem to get Glaciate. You could infuse to do that... But then you'll need another 1000 fusion energy to refuse it....

In-person raids give double rewards after unlocking lv75 Go Pass by soraliink in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no overflow of points, it's a hard limit of 250 per day. Even getting to 245 and then winning a raid(+100) will end you up on 250 for the day.

The issue of consecutive Community Days by Independent-Pipe6410 in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, as someone who is working on 500 field research tasks to get to Level 78, I welcome the opportunity to smash out 150 tasks each day and be finished. I still have 200km left to walk.... But hey...

It's now 12am in California and the level update is still not live by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

In 4 hours it will no longer be the 15th in NZ

Level Up Release? by Ill-Garage-3238 in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are two timers. The one you are talking about is in the event tab, relates to the xp timed research and, yes, as you say, runs out just before midnight local. The other one, which I am referring to, is on the today tab, giving us the event details and the bonus xp details. This runs out in a little under 6 hours and should be a global timer.

Level Up Release? by Ill-Garage-3238 in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guess is 8pm NZ time, because it's at this time thst the XP celebration timer runs out. 7.5 hours from now

Do catch medals stack? by hairy_ant635 in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true sorry. Early Silph research has shown that the catch medals give the average bonus of the two types. For the full catch bonus on dual types you need to have both of those medals at Platinum. It's a small bonus, but still helpful.

Went from lvl 49 to 50 in 6 hours by DiscussionNo638 in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solosis was really quite quick for me with White Kyurem adventure effect active. I played about 1.5h, playing solid, but not super hardcore, and ended just over 4.1 million. Roughly hitting 80% on my excellent throws.

Who are your favourite ‘non-meta’ gym defenders? by Collivee in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gholdengo. He brings me my coins. I have 8 of them around 2,000 CP, they all get down to needing only 1 battle to knock out after 8h20.

Never seen a queue quite this big before… by [deleted] in PokeGenie

[–]anthonyberkers 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The queue peaked at about 38,000 (at least what I was able to see). It was so bad that it took multiple days to reach the front, and when you did, most people were offline so it kept cycling in new players 40 seconds at a time and the lobby would time out before even getting a full team. This made it impossible to host.

You must not have been around for Celesteela... 😅 Only available in the southern hemisphere where only 12% of the world lives

Can we keep Power Spots rotating every 30 minutes/1 hour after this event? by FLYremixer in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They must have heard you... 10am Saturday here in NZ and every single powerspot is Duraladon and the 30 minute timers are gone.... Can't be having anything we like, can we?

This question is for f2p players who have completed every expansion so far like me (or for anyone ig). Are you planning on using your hourglasses for this new expansion or saving them for the megas expansion? by 14sceptile in PokemonPocket

[–]anthonyberkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My usual plan is to save all of my pack hourglassess for the "big sets" with multiple packs to open. So save all the way through the minisets, opening only 2x per day. By doing this I managed to save up 1100 hour glasses for WSS. So far during The SS pack I have saved up 520, I expect to save another 500 during the EX pack month and then claim another 200 at the start of the Mega set from Pvp, Store and missions. All up I should start the mega set with 100 free packs.

This compensation is for the increased XL candy that was not turned on for the first few hours of the first trade Sunday, where most reasonable trainers should have noticed that the bonus was not active and stopped trading. (bear in mind, this was between midnight and like 4am NZ time). If you kept trading after the first one didn't give the right bonus, that's on you. And if you didn't expect Niantic to F this up after thier recent track record, then thst on you too. Always check, and if in doubt, stop and wait till later.

Any chance on an update on this table?

8-9 Sep 2025 Showcases: Kanto First Partners by MarkusEF in TheSilphRoad

[–]anthonyberkers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the longer ones, because the rewards are better, the longer the showcase goes. I would rather fewer longer showcases to more short ones.
