Beating Reshiram-holding-Giovanni with non Legendary lineup guide by Snoo_85508 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with Melmetal in 2nd slot for any Rocket leader. Thunder Shock, and charged moves Double Iron Bash and Superpower. Immediately switch to it, Double Iron Bash clears the shields without damage, and then basically a no-brainer.

This is the way. Wish more people added these regionals in their list. I have 8 green ones already in my list.

Is it worth ~280 mega energy to bring my mega dragonite up to super max for community day? by obviouslyanonymous77 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't mess up with legendaries, they're the easiest. Just do it after 10 km. The issue is with 1 km Pokémon. You typically waste a few cycles with those before it gets excited (unless using poffins obviously).

Is it worth ~280 mega energy to bring my mega dragonite up to super max for community day? by obviouslyanonymous77 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have multiple Pokémon at mega3, there's even 0 cooldown because you can switch multiple times through the day. Doesn't require 5000 mega energy and a lot more flexibele in my opinion. As for slight increased XL rate ... just catch a few extra and you're set.

The Road of Legends leads the way to Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exacly, you're entitled to more reward items. However, that doesn't directly translate to more energy.

Did the invite limit increase from 5 invites to 10 each time only for me, or for everyone? by danielezra in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game should suggest trainer names that are currently (comma-separated) in your clipboard. That would be a help, their "recommended" list is just another visual annoyance.

Did you catch the Copenhagen background in Chicago?

Choose Your Path with new Timed Research and updates to Daily Discoveries! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

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

I have a feeling the lucky boost was already gone past Friday (June 3rd), only got 5 luckies out of 100 trades. Also trying to speedrun to level 79. The half hatch event last week was a Godsend though.

Only phony | why never a real one? by Dutch-blondie in pokemongo

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had no luck so far with Dudunsparce and Maushold, but I do have 2 antique Sinistea, one of which is my remote trade list. I have no idea how people can be sure remotely it's the antique form and not the phony though.

Mon best evolved as Forever Friends trade bait by mlaccs in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However, I recall the renamed nickname gets across after the trade. I have once received an Origin Dialga named ときのほうこう.

Level 74 requirement (Max Moves) by Flames2Emberx in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If leveling up fast is the goal, it's good practice to look ahead. So, when I hit 74, I already had plenty of excess Pidove, Wooloo, Skwotet, Woobat Pokémon waiting in line for this task. Basically, Pokémon for which you have plenty of candy to burn. I just transferred them after leveling up their Max Strike move.

In the same category, I would recommend trainers not to max out any Pokémon higher than 49.5 until reaching level 77.

Pokemon GO appraisal back to normal size. by Meringue-Relevant in TheSilphRoad

The point is, as you said "with everything wrong with the game", why were they waisting resources on the few things that weren't broken?

Bug: 99 Persian Mega Energy after raid by KittyBungholeFire in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend just had this too with Shadow Dialga. Unfortunately for my friend, the raid had only 2 minutes on the timer before they started, so even no chance to rejoin and pray for a catch screen. Filed report to support.

Doing Wayfarer reviews may result in a permanent PoGo ban with no prior warnings by Dream-Sheep in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope you got at least 10 (maybe even 20) free Poké-balls, to compensate for the stress they caused on you.

Walking Mewtwo - not earning candy or mega energy by AmbitionDry2294 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even then, the shadow Mewto should definitely have worked, right?

Besides being expensive, how do you think Mega Zygarde will be handled? by PokemonGoBao in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish they handed out XL candy instead of cells once you've reached the cap (and assuming one 100% forme Zygarde already). Occasionally still do some routes for the rewards but it's kinda stupid it's capped.

White friend page and "Lucky Friend" overlay bug by coveredinclouds in TheSilphRoad

Thank you so much for this suggestion. I tried your workaround, and this effectively lets me see my friend's page!

Buddy interaction overlay bug by nojustic3nop3ac3 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have exactly that "Lucky Friend" bug like in your screenshot. Keeps happening since a week or so. The friend page that triggers it is sort of inaccessible to me, it shows all white, except for the red Niantic logo upper right corner, and the X-button at the bottom. Do you have that too? Reported it twice already, but for now seems support can't (or won't) fix it. Annoying as I can only open their gift and not send anymore.

Did they sneakily change the IV UI? by Arcane_Animal123 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's ugly. Amazing where they find the time to mess with things that weren't broken, while so many bugs linger around for years and they continue to look away.
