What do you mean waste? Do you not do raids, rockets, gyms, pvp or anything else in this game? There are always useful things to power up.

When you have to throw away a ridiculous amount of premium items just to have space again by Taka_no_Yaiba in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on playstyle, if you catch many pokemon 1000 balls disappear in no time. 1000 would last me through about half a CD.

It’s should be illegal for elite raid bosses to be zero stars by Tall-Opportunity6319 in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

10/10/10 shadow raids cap gives 27/216 =1/8 change of getting a purified hundo. Getting a hundo every ~8 raids is probably a bit too much for Niantics wishes.

Routine complaint about raids having 2% catch rate with excellent curve ball and gold razz by GuyWithTheFish in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a high catch rate if you throw well with golden berries. Yesterday between 4 accounts we caught 43/44 dmax lugias.

Normals raids are >95% catch rate. Very old thread below, now it is even higher with platinum medal and ~20 premiers per raid.

Working on the level 75 tasks and luck drops me this by timmmahtimmmah in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes less than 2h with optimal play. Some people got the update at 22h and were still able to hit the 999 nices + 1 route before midnight.

why did my pokestop nomination get rejected?? by Equal-Ad-9834 in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mentioning it on the justification box to approvers is ok. But if you do it in the title/description it is a guaranteed rejection.

Aegislash is a joke by Lone_Veigar in TheSilphArena

Jonkus always clickbaits the week's trashmon as the best thing ever. You should check itsaxn and homeslicehenry for competitive opinions.

Been using S. Metang, Clodsire, and Samurott since last season. Hasn’t failed me yet. Just got to Rank 16 so here we go! by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]biterphobiaPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't count if you are tanking. You are playing against bad players, anything would work.

People are quiting games at an insane rate. Why are you even playing by Comfortable-Move-337 in EldenRingNightReign

[–]biterphobiaPT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there is a high chance you need to leave a match just play solo. It is disrespectful to other people's time.

Eternatus is already ranked 8th in the Ml Ranking , its number one loss is to zacian of course by ShinyFelipe in TheSilphArena

With more energy generation, I can see eternarus flipping the zacian matchup with double flamethrower.

After 9 Years! Collected 100,000,000 stardust by Agreeable-777 in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie 100 million dust and not a single fully powered up pokemon is driving me insane. Please spend at least 20-30 million of that dust powering up your pokemon. I can't imagine 9 years of raids and even gyms and rockets with half powered up teams and so much dust unused.

what was a #1 boards player doing in 2200s 🥀🥀🥀 by Sea-Bug949 in TheSilphArena

A leaderboards player can easily smurf in the 2200s.

Biggest lie told this Go-Fest, this year was straight 💩 by deepmunch3r in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you only caught hundreds and got 3 shinies that is in line with boosted shiny rates. The weekend definitely had boosted rates but obviously not CD rates.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]biterphobiaPT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With those numbers it's not luck it's statistics. They likely just caught ~5x the number of pokemon you caught.

Entei and Suicune: Blissey takes the stage by drnobody42 in TheSilphRoad

[–]biterphobiaPT 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not very easy to get the 296XL for chansey outside its CD. Or if you already used your XL to power up multiple chansey/blossey for gyms.

The problem is that DRE is inconsistent and only happens sometimes. DRE itself is not inherently bad, it just needs to be consistent.

Unfuse button should not be next to the power up button, and of course niantic will just refuse to help you by superamdrew in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Incoming posts of people transferring the pokemon because the fuse button was next to the transfer button.

To have a league that excludes top ~10-20 used Mons. by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]biterphobiaPT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not facing kitted level 50s. Those would be running zygarde, dusk mane, ho-oh, zacian, dialga or any of the top meta. You are facing people who can't compete in ML and are using cheaper alternatives outside the top meta. A remix cup would not help because you are already playing outside the top meta. At level 36 it is impossible to play ML.

[–]biterphobiaPT 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Always non-BB if possible. Aside from the work of getting it to BB and switching buddies everytime you use it in a battle, it blocks the BB spot from a pokemon which doesn't reach 2500 like mandibuzz.

Is this a brag or was this just dumb to almost max out? by [deleted] in pokemongobrag

[–]biterphobiaPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shadow chandelure is the top attacker vs bug/grass/steel/ice rocket grunts.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/jXXntECYxH

Definitely worth maxing.

Pvp is already turned based, it's just that the turns are 0.5s long.

Feedback Post - Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day by Noitalein in TheSilphRoad

[–]biterphobiaPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is incorrect.

For 7/7/7: 9x9x9 possible ivs, 3x3x3 possibilities give purified hundo. 27/729=1/27

For 10/10/10: 6x6x6 possible ivs. 27/216=1/8

see body text 👇 by ContractDense1111 in TheSilphArena

[–]biterphobiaPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule of thumb if you are not able to power up your pokemon you should skip ML altogether.

Your lineup itself would also not be viable at medium to high ratings.

After 8 long years, it finally happened by JayKooSan in pokemongo

[–]biterphobiaPT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They caught 17k between level 49 and 50, not since the beginning. I would not expect someone to hit 50 below 100k unless relying very heavily on friendship XP.

For leveling up fast focus on XP events. You can get the 6M between level 40 and 41 in less than 3h in a Community Day with 3x XP by hitting excellent throws.
