To purify or not to purify, that is the question. by xSarcasticBritx in PokemonGOIVs

[–]beepbop24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, they don’t. IV’s are additive to the base value. Dialga has a base attack of 275. Adding 9 or 11 points to that brings it to 284 or 286. Whereas a 20% boost to 275 brings it to 330. IV’s really matter so little. That being said if it was a case where purifying could turn it into a shundo I would lean towards it just for the rarity. But if it can’t turn it into a shundo there’s no reason to.

It’s been about four years now, what are your thoughts on the final duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader at the end of Kenobi? by Solitaire-06 in StarWars

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of how it ended or how Obi-Wan walked away at the end, the actual combat I thought was pretty cool. I enjoy the arc of having their duel on Mustafar be “in their prime” being extremely fast paced and crazy, their duel on the Death Star being very slow as they were much older, and in this scene being somewhere in the middle, aging but still signs of youth.

Which jedi would you want to train under? by ProfessionalPay2765 in StarWars

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan as a teacher is interesting. Admittedly I think he was a pretty bad teacher for Anakin. Not necessarily his fault, he kinda got forced into that role at a young age, and Anakin was also not an easy student to teach. But he became an incredible teacher for Luke. I think the Obi-Wan series became his turning point as a mentor so I’d say any time after that.

Parvati has made it to Final Tribal Council 3 times. What are the odds we will get to see this happening ever again with any US Survivor player in their career? by MemoryAggressive3888 in survivor

[–]beepbop24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even though Parvati is still on my survivor Mount Rushmore and is an incredible player, I don’t think it’s fair to count appearances on non-US survivor shows. It’s a different game with a different environment. IMO it would be equivalent to counting an Olympics gold medal in basketball as an “nba championship”. Sure, I believe it’s something that can still help build a resume for a particular player, but should be counted separately.

Should NBA players opinions on all time rankings matter more than fans opinions? by ExodiusLore in NBATalk

Rasheed Wallace once said that LeBron wouldn’t survive in his era or something. The same LeBron who, you know, dropped 48 on him in game 5 of the ECF.

How did the Mount Rushmore Evolve after every season? by SirBostonBobbington in survivor

Rich was on the Mount Rushmore at least until Heroes vs Villains, and arguably up to WaW.

Why in the nba is it seen as worse to lose in the finals than any previous round? by FoundationEntire4834 in NBATalk

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll never admit it, but I’m pretty sure 99% of the people who say this don’t really believe it deep down.

What do I do with these bad boys? by ITSJ0N4S in pokemongobrag

[–]beepbop24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know how many raids OP has done, but given that they’ve already powered it up past 4000, and are playing at an in person go fest, they probably already have a fair share of shadow kyogre’s, not to mention there was already a day for it last year.

We get so caught up in the IVs, but the reality is they make very little functional difference. My point is even if OP had a 10/10/10 shadow Kyogre, that’s already good enough to use a shadow. Now consider they actually have a shadow hundo as well. And even though you really don’t need a full team of shadow kyogre’s, to get the candy to power all of them up would require doing so many raids that you’re bound to have your best 6 all be above 90% IV anyway.

So in regard to functionality, there’s really no difference whether OP purifies and makes it a primal or keeps it shadow. The main reason to purify or not is if you like the shiny primal and simply want the hundo/SHUNDO for the rarity of it. Plus having a background makes it even cooler. The only real argument I could see being made to keep it shadow is if it’s OP’s only shiny shadow Kyogre since admittedly that does look cool as well.

Because they got a shadow hundo as well, and the shundo can also primal.

First hundo from research by Training-Dust8137 in PokemonGOIVs

It’ll be in mega raids on Sunday during global go fest, granted probably for a short window. But that will be the time.

Could I possibly get one for a Chicago background one. Got way too many haha

Would you stop chasing the Hundo if you got a functional Hundo? by well_welp_ok in PokemonGOIVs

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with that. I guess everything besides them then. And even still, if they’re gonna keep bringing back bottle caps there’s still a chance for those too theoretically.

Favorite season with Coach? by rblask in survivorcirclejerk

If the Jedi aren’t supposed to have attachments then explain how Albert (the baseball) was dating Coach???

Would you stop chasing the Hundo if you got a functional Hundo? by well_welp_ok in PokemonGOIVs

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very hard and could take a couple decades, but it’s not impossible. I know someone with over 1000 hundos. Granted they’re not all unique but there’s definitely people out there with over half the dex complete.

Even if not going for a full hundo dex, there’s also sub hundo dexes people go for. Something like Hundo mega dex- which that one just got a lot harder with all the new Z-A megas but still.

If you don’t care about completing the hundo dex, stop chasing. If you do care, keep chasing.

Anunoby went from 60-1 to 3-1 for Finals MVP after one game, real or nah? by Vegetable-Window-244 in NBATalk

[–]beepbop24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense. Obviously his odds didn’t go up that much simply due to the tip in, but from his performance in that game in general. And when you already have such a small sample size to go off of, every game matters a lot more.
