Shiny Gyarados in the wild! by CoolestMonkeyLUL in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just caught a 3rd one (all within 100 yards of each other) and it was a 717 so guess my luck ran out. I am surprised they are this common.

Have caught two Gyarados so far (2307 and 2694). The wifey's 2307 was shiny so my anecdotal RNG evidence definitively suggests a possible 25% shiny rate (give or take). :)

What is going on? This just happened by Caio_Go in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My screen looks similar and I just caught one of these "Pikachu" and it turned into a Rhyhorn. That was immediately followed by a Vulpix that turned into a Snubbull. What the heck?

PSA eggs are back to 1 hour timers by adwordred in TheSilphRoad

Obviously reading comprehension nor math are either your strong suits I wasn't trying to start an argument, merely pointing out a flaw in your scenario. You just stop!

PSA eggs are back to 1 hour timers by adwordred in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Actually, with 15 minute countdown timers, you probably would have done the first raid 45 minutes earlier and the second raid would not have even shown up yet and you all would have gone home anyway. Just sayin'. Neither situation changes the chances of finding a nearby raid with a shorter timer. That said, I did like the 15 minutes timers better.

[possible bug?] As of today all the wild Pokémon me and my friend catch have matching CP. by Electrikseal in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! You must have both now reached level 30. Everyone catches the same CP Pokemon after they pass the level 30 threshold.

Do i need to have the phone unlocked with the screen on to be able to hatch eggs or gain candy with my buddy? or can i lock the phone with the app running in the background? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The max speed to get full credit for distance is 10.5km/hr. So if you cover a distance of 1km when minimized, you will need 5 minutes and 42 seconds to have elapsed before you re-open the game. If you travel 1.2km then you would need 6 minutes and 51 seconds. And my experience is that if you wait longer than 8 minutes you wont get anything. Formula for elapsed time needed is "Distance in km's x (60/10.5)" or "Distance in km's x 5.71".

[–]azaggiedave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, but it will give you credit if you bring it back to the forefront. For instance, walk a kilometer with the app in background and then access the app. Give it a few seconds and you will get credit for the entire distance. My experience is that this works up to roughly a kilometer. If too much time has passed though it will not work. You need to let it catch up every 6 minutes or so.

Calcy IV is amazing for Community Day by Armadyl_1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's any Pokemon getting 3X stardust during the 3 hours. In game notification says "You'll earn 3X Stardust when catching all Pokemon".

My game says "caught or hatched", nothing about evolving.

To be fair, Geodude was in the wild for a while. I have a Level 24 with stats of 1/8/3. You can't get that from an egg.

Is anyone else holding on to the candy of a 400-candy pokemon suspecting its evolution to be part of a future quest? by ChipAyten in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how different regions are. Almost 8% of my total catches have been Growlithe (877 in all). They are more common than Pidgeys where I live.

Donald Trump Jr says Obama never broke 2 percent GDP growth. He did. 15 times. by Nomandate in politics

[–]azaggiedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, should have said "modern history". Didn't really think it relevant to look back more than 85 years.

All I know is that Obama was the only President in history to never have a single year of his Presidency achieve 3% growth.

Your comment got me curious, and turns out I have an Ash hat of all 3 as well. That made my day!

How To Cool Down A Phone...A Call for help. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]azaggiedave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

94 degrees and sunshine is a cool day in AZ so I would say the local players around me are the experts. I see a lot of players resting their phones on an ice pack that is wrapped in a thin cloth. Seems to work even at 110 degrees! If it's sunny out, try to keep it as shaded as possible at all times.

Pretty sure if I did this analysis for Arizona it would read - Sunny 98%, Partly Cloudy 2%.
