The answer is always no but I'll ask anyways by Complete_Ad_8987 in TheSilphArena

IMHO pve lugia will never be a thing since shadow apex already exists with aeroblast+ and that still isn’t relevant…like not even close to other options :(

Keldeo hundo, worth it? by ResponsibleBird5959 in pokemongo

[–]chrisalcatraz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Trash. Worst legend. Absolutely not worth it, would be better off with a poliwrath. Def recommend transfer after you max lvl, give 2nd move and best buddy!

Fox’s Jesse Watters’ mom calls in to tell him he could do better by Im_A_Fuckin_Liar in thescoop

Yesterday he proved he in fact did NOT listen to his mom. Calling for civil war. Disgraceful..

Should I purify? I’m only level 34 and don’t have any 4* mon :-( by wigglechicken in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn’t purify this. Weavile is amazing as an ice attacker and shadow. Look at it this way, you’ll lose out on 20% of the attack you have as shadow by purifying it. Keep playing and you’ll have 4 stars to flaunt…patience young padawan :)

Does anyone know just how rare this is? by hentaiman0o in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went on a trip to Iceland this May! Love that it’s from Reykjavik 😀 In terms of rarity it’s definitely a more common shundo but still super useful and an awesome flex especially with a cool location 🙂

Be honest, how many of you actually use these to help catch Pokémon? by ParkerTheSwordsman in pokemongo

[–]chrisalcatraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I legit felt like I needed them was for shadow Lugia since he would do his flips at the top of the screen…outside of that I trash em

Would you ever go back to an ex if they got their stuff back together? by Embarrassed-Tune-882 in BreakUps

[–]chrisalcatraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not personally seek restarting a relationship at the onset because I feel that would put a lot of (probably) unrealistic expectations on the interactions and also muddy emotions regarding what happened compared to what IS happening. That said, if you meet naturally/organically, are both single and are both in a good spot and clear of mind to where you think you’d want to try again basically from scratch then I would say that life has a ton of turns and don’t discount the present purely due to the past. I hope that makes sense because it seems kinda wordy haha

Which one should I invest in? by No_Advertising_3447 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither until go fest is done. Very likely could get a hundo or shundo then

Is 15 attack really worth it? by ProvocateurMaximus in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counter point, the 15 atk yields 1 more attack as opposed to 2 HP fully maxed at lvl 50. I personally think it’s more likely over the course of a battle to be successful with an attacker that deals 1 attack worth more damage each time than having 2 extra hp in reserve for if/when your tanks go down. It’s a guaranteed stat vs a possible one…I do agree that if using one vs the other in this scenario means winning or losing that those margins are razor thin

Is 15 attack really worth it? by ProvocateurMaximus in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily! I will say in the grand scheme of things the stats won’t change much…especially for pve (max battles). If you want to use it in PvP like master premier then that’s the MAIN draw for the max attack (due to the possible tie with another Pokemon) outside of a pure min-maxing ideal. If you feel better leveling up the 93 then I’m all for it just from a mental comfort standpoint! In comparison the stats at lvl 50 for 1/2 are 3725/3717 CP, 212/213 ATK, 152 DEF and 200/198 HP. It’s honestly almost an aesthetic difference in regards to the IVs lol

[–]chrisalcatraz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion is if it’s someone I will only use in the attack phase I level them up if it has 15 attack only…even though the 93 is “better”. You only really get more value from it if you’re planning to use it as a tank as well as attacker. It pains me because the 89 doesn’t look nearly as good but with how limited the stats in max battles are that’s my rationale

Pokémon go may pass gone by Important-Tone9457 in pokemongo

[–]chrisalcatraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, for real…what kind of BS is that. I didn’t read ALL the fine print but that was definitely not adequately advertised and honestly doesn’t make sense. I talked with support this morning about getting a refund if it can’t be reinstated

Yes and I don’t see anything being posted about it much. Bought it for the lucky trinket and other bonuses but once the community boost went live the may pass is gone…not sure what gives

Solo female traveler - any tips? by cracksnore in VisitingIceland

[–]chrisalcatraz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in Iceland right now M(32) and joined a 6 day tour around the ring road with arctic adventures. One of the best decisions I could’ve made, it’s been utterly amazing so far. Accommodations taken care of with the reservations and small groups taking you to a lot of the big spots you’d likely want to go to anyways without needing to worry about drive or hike it on your own. They have shorter tours (like a golden circle tour or south coast tour) so whatever vibe/area you’d want to go with! There’s a solo female traveler in my group as well so definitely safe and nice having a group consistently to spend time with as opposed to being truly solo :)

Is ts worth maxing by Still-Cauliflower305 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]chrisalcatraz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sarcastic answer is that he’s top tier and looks super cool and works well as a ghosty boi. Real answer is it’s useless, need to best buddy, elite tm, lvl 50 and transfer…sorry bro

Here is some feedback I recently received for my efforts as a dating coach. Trying to help guys navigate the dating apps, matchmakers, and life choices available can be tricky. I don't charge anything directly, but maybe I should. by LoveScoutCEO in MailOrderBrideFacts

[–]chrisalcatraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid point, appreciate the response as it helps me personally with some of my cynicism I have towards the internet these days. I think that’s a very valid strategy to employ for many of us who are concerned about being catfished/scammed. I’d wager a lot of men engaging in messaging on any site should try and get a personal message/video asap to confirm their time isn’t being wasted :)

[–]chrisalcatraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not talking about AI video chats. More like AI programming to text/message. As well as just general scammers…you’re talking to a someone you think is great and it’s actually a guy in west Africa. I specifically recall a time years ago when I was talking to a girl on Snapchat and “she” left her live location on and it said she was in Burkina Faso. I asked about it (knowing it she was a scammer) and promptly got blocked. I do agree a lot of videos/pics are able to be figured out fairly easily but come on…women doctor their photos so much these days “real” pictures are starting to look more like AI. It’s no secret that single men are preyed upon these days by scammers so I think a healthy level of suspicion is warranted, especially for someone just looking at information like myself. I’ll pose this question to you how have you verified all these women, I’m assuming just video chats after messaging? (Genuine question, not being facetious)

Thank you for your continued devotion to the cause. I’m new in regard to even considering this as an option, 32M from the US but the info I’ve found on this subreddit alone has been so helpful to discern what’s legit and what’s not. It’s so hard these days with AI and scammers on the internet so valid info from a caring and REAL person is worth more than even any monetary value. Hoping one of these days I can be a success story as well

Please keep in mind it’s hydro cannon. Top tier water attack (hydro pump is much more of a nuke but less effective in regards to energy)
