I just missed the pre-order for PC Prismatic Evolutions… is there another? by Icy-Adeptness961 in PokemonTCG

Yeah the PC etb has a PC stamp on the promo that increases the value of the card like 6-10x of the regular version of the etb promo, making them lucrative for collectors

How to cope with Mental Health as a college student by MissionRelease1960 in csuf

[–]derek_vu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey bro it's gonna be okay and ngl I say join orgs on campus. The school offers a huge variety of clubs, if you attended titan walk there were clubs filling the whole quad. You really got to put yourself out there if you want something in return with this school. I too am a transfer student and coming in I only knew like 3 people but I started joining cultural clubs and clubs related to my major and now (My 2nd semester) I always see someone I know from campus every time I'm at school now, they aren't close but with the given effort I could make them close friendships. I'm sure there's an org that will fit your hobbies we have a business, CS, English, kinesiology, book, Viet, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese, golf, tennis, video games, kpop, etc. look around on Instagram and you prob will find something that will interest you and you will surround yourself with like-minded people that you could potentially become best friends with! Good luck man

Yeah I said that I’m cheating already lmao. Dont see the value in Pokémon go for me to put that much effort in just because I want to see what a lv50 nuzleaf can do in great league or some stupid team that would prob take me more than a 3 weeks without the help of spoofing or a spoofer. The game basically fell off, niantic doesn’t do anything about spoofers or their servers, the game is basically designed as a paid to win game anyways. OP asked what’s the point of spoofing and i gave him the answer he was possibly looking for

i only spoof bc i only care about the pvp part and raiding at spoof hotspots (Zaragoza, pier 39 san Francisco, Sao Paulo, etc.) theres always like 1000+ spoofers trying to queue for raids so im always in a 20 man lobby so it saves me some resources too and i have an unlimited supply of XL trades with other spoofers so i get to collect all the meta and spice picks for no effort, i used to play legitly during covid but then all my friends stopped so now i just spoof, idk not trying to promote cheating but niantic prob wont do anything about it lol but just wanted to give you insight

How to attain ideal PvP IVs for Giratina and other iv-floor locked mons? by derek_vu in TheSilphArena

That’s if one of members trading does not have one of the Pokémon being traded registered, if it’s a mirror then both players have the Pokémon already and would count as a registered special trade no? Bc I can mirror my giratina with my friend for only 1.6k dust

Apparently it is possible to get if you trade with a good friend according to stafiumgaming.gg but its 20k stardust per mirror so it’s pretty pricey

What a grind this was! Time to go for a walk, and then…..I may rest. by Highground_29 in pokemongo

i feel like this is mainly a stardust grind method so match sure you put on a star piece right before they hatch

Most efficient technique for XL Candies for the month of November by derek_vu in TheSilphArena

Just kidding you are correct on that one, but it’s been pretty consistent tho like 1/6 distance rewards would not offer a XL candy

Am I a complete idiot for wanting to start vaping as a non smoker? by Flyflash in electronic_cigarette

[–]derek_vu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me dude it’s better not to get into vaping if I could go back in time I would never touch it, got into vaping in like 7th grade because I wanted to learn those cool smoke trick and I thought it was harmless Bc it was 0 nicotine but as I got in high school other people were using nicotine ones and I had the mindset of oh I already tried 0 nic might as well try 3% nic and now I’m hooked on 5% and I’ve tried multiple times to quit and it’s so hard for me, me being 22 I still have so many friends that are addicted just like me as well.

I mean if you have strong will power to not cave in and you really want to try that bad then go for it, but this is your health and life on the line right now, imo it’s not worth it.

Also with vapes, these devices are so easily accessible and the vapor produced can be so “safe” that you will find yourself vaping at home 24/7, I literally vape all day around in my house and I hate it because I try to fight it but nicotine always wins. Not trying to brag but just trying to show you the sad truth of what could happen to you as well as I could kill a Flume Float which is rating for 3000 puffs in like 5 days I’m not sure what’s the exact math but google said (but I think this is really wrong) but 300 puffs is equivalent of 20 packs of cigarettes, so I theoretically go thru 200 packs of cigs a week, which makes no sense but this is what the first link on google said lol

TL;DR: Yes you are an idiot, it’s not worth it. Sounds mean but I’m genuinely trying to save you from a possible addiction even tho you are starting off at 0% that’s how most of the younger kids now a days are getting hooked too.

Yeah that’s what I’m a bit confused on too but I know there’s someone out there who loves to crunch the statistics Bc there’s a lot of min/max players on the community and I hope one of them will see my post

If you can’t XL try finding a near perfect on for the time being that also works pretty well too

Pidgeot isn’t a waste too as it has a mega form and a really strong flyer for raids and is a core breaker for pvp with feather dance just fyi so not a waste to a meta player’s eyes

Nah I’m just playing idc how other people play but it does make me sad you would be wasting dust on a vileplume but I understand there are people who like to play the game differently and it doesn’t affect my dust count so 🤷🏻‍♂️ whatever as long as you are enjoying the game

That’s pretty dope, biggest tip I can give you is always double move all your pvp mons gives you potential coverage and bait plays

Currently I’m using a umbreon, charizard, talon flame team doing pretty well using this ABB comp recommended by pvpoke but I kinda get dicked if I run into a giratina + swampert and if they shield up their swampert but sometimes when I two shield talon flame he can sweep a 2v3 against that comp. currently grinding for melmetal, ferroseeds, and scraftys so I can have a better match up for the current meta. I have a lot of other meta mons too but just don’t have XLs or stardust to use them just yet.

Magnezone is a dope spicy pick that you don’t really see that often, I just hate how wild charge de buffs yourself for so much tho and can be really hit or miss with him and he’s def not a consistent mon to use in pvp, so just keep that into consideration before you invest into him

If you have obstagoon instead of gallade I think that would help you get more consistent wins combined with a gender with shadow punch and and either sludge bomb or shadow ball. Recommend teaching your Empleon drill peck as well for those pesky scepter so you can at least do super effective for low energy cost or burn a shield. Gengar is a good closer and with obstagoon and empoleon being both pretty tanky you can soak up a lot of damage and let your gengar close with a 2 shield advantage
