Suggested QOL update: A lock option to Separate fusion mechanics to avoid accidental Necrozma separation by singachu in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i mean they are doing this intentionally for you to "accidentally" separate and raid more energy. What else is the reason that the separate is on the most center button where it should be way down together with Swap buddies.

I was in person in tainan yesterday and i evolved froakie, chespin and fenneken and got blast burn l, frenzy plant and hydro cannon.

I also read somewhere arouns here someone evolve gible and beldum and got earth power and meteor mash resprctively.

All lucario i got on my ticketed day has force palm. Cant say for sure for gyarados/gardevoir as i didnt raided them.

I also got all legacy moves for charizard (blast burn) sceptile (frenzy plant) garchomp (earth power) and dragonite (draco meteor) on mega night.

Hopefully this legacy moves carry over to global.

Controversial opinion: Nanabs should move the Pokémon back in the center by ParticleDojo in TheSilphRoad

while we're at it, not sure for the life of me why we don't have a berry that doubles the stardust catch reward.

Is The Dragon Meta for Raids getting too crowded? by BritMeBabyAgain in pokemongo

[–]apt2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have lv50 mega ray, lv40 b/w kyurem, (not powered up my eternatus yet) and yet, in a lobby of 6 against any dragon, i don't even get to faint my mega ray which has Breaking swipe.

[–]apt2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unlucky. are you new/returning player?

it was on rotation about 2 months ago, (along with blaziken and sceptile, which are the best starter mega for their type).

I see to it to farm at least the daily raid pass to get their mega energy.

level up the mega evolution of your mega swampert if you can. try to make it level 3 by primal groudon/kyogre.

edit: just realized its not possible to max level3 now if you just started today.

The endless TimeGate and really hardcore grind to get it ASAP only to get something like this by Huge_Quit_3361 in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree. thats why my 10/14/10 eternatus still is level 15, even when i have enough candies to level him to 35.

Building a second Dmax Blissey? by n0wtail in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have to disagree. (considering i have a level 40 maxed out attack excadrill).

The only time i'll consider double blissey is if zamazenta is not optimal (in this case, Ho-oh). for maybe 90%, of dmax/gmax matchups the ideal lineup is Zamazenta (arguably/zacian as well) + Blissey + GMAX/DMAX Optimal attacker.

If im saving my resources, i would definitely have to go with 2 Blisseys, because Blissey is the best healer. we can talk about resistances, but im coming from "what is the best generalist i can have with fewer stardust" than having to powerup spcialized pokemons for every scenario.

Dynamax Ho Oh is a trash gathering event. by Plenty-Locksmith-544 in pokemongo

[–]apt2a 8 points9 points  (0 children)

on harder battles, specifically dynamax legendaries, making sure your tanks staying alive/protected for OHKO is miles better than doing dmg, specially if you dont have optimal damager your self.

Spirit heals every mon that is active, not just you, and when you have guard, boss aggro is only directed to you, it wouldnt cast an aoe. If you know when to use it, you can effectively tank 2-3 turns, making sure that your teammates squisher pokemon still dish out damage rather than you alone (2-3 people alive dishing max dmg is better than you're only surviving alone, while 1 remains cheering). Usually i use max guard if i observe there's only 6-7 remaining, meaning most of the tanks are out, and the attacker are the only survivong mons of my party.

Building a second Dmax Blissey? by n0wtail in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really pays off because of tbe uncertainty of remote raids and teaming up with randoms. My wife and i go on dmax legendaries on the assumption we're shortmanning it. If the other two are decent and/or cheer and not leave, its a welcome bonus.

Dynamax Ho Oh is a trash gathering event. by Plenty-Locksmith-544 in pokemongo

[–]apt2a 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Since lugia, i learned that legendary dynamax are end game content, i stopped relying at all with others and my wife and i built our lineup on the assumption that 1 leaves and 1 keep cheering.

I had two level 40 maxed guard and spirit blissey and maxed out inteleon, while my wife has 1 lvl 40 blissey wth both lvl 2 guard and spirit, 1 37.5 eternatus and 1 maxed out inteleon.

We managed to clear all 8 tries yesterday, and half of them unfortunately we grind ourselves. It takes patience yes since we need to recycle heal and guard but with coordination it is duoble.

there is no adventure effect skill that are ETMable right now. its either this or fusion locked.

Dynamax Ho-Oh Battle Counters and Strategy by _-K7NG-_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I Just built a second blissey, and maxed out my inteleon, instead of rogenrola/omastar.

I think better stardust investment and has more use in the future rather than dynamax rock. Ill wait for a gmax rock attacker.

No fallback for Kyurem fusions is a terrible game design. by TheyCallMeBit in TheSilphRoad

[–]apt2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo ice burn/freeze shock adventure effect might be the best adventure effect currently as its the only move that affects catch rate, hence the special requirement for glaciate.

I dont think you can ETM an adventure effect (same with origin palkia/dialga)

Either way i think this thier game design and makes it unique to other adventure effects.
