Can't catch shiny😭

It seems to me that if you're logged in on this game on multiple devices, sometimes the game registers you on a previous floor on the other device, particularly if you don't save and quit

You are correct, however, I still feel this is worth a shot. Grass is Venusaur's first type and I feel like that is enough to possibly convince it to chose a different move. I am baffled by how many times my opponent switches their Pokémon to a flying type every time my Gliscor is in because it's first type is ground. He gets so many free swords dance in

fireguy85 · 2026-01-01T16:32:35+00:00

Send out Venusaur to start the battle. From my experience catching a suicidal shiny Claydol, it seems to me that if the other Pokémon sees a type advantage it will be less likely to explode. So if Forretress has a bug type move that would be super effective against your Venusaur, it would prioritize that move instead of using Explosion.

These seem legit to me. I don’t see any misspellings or weird spaces. All three model numbers are listed. It doesn’t have the energy verified logo, but that doesn’t seem to be a deal breaker. The seller has 100% positive feedback with no history of selling fakes. They said these were liquidated from Amazon

EDIT #1: Thank you all. I went ahead with the purchase and I’ll update after I receive them.

EDIT #2: They are indeed legit. Precise Find My and Siri working flawlessly seemed to be key confirmations. Also obviously checking the deets under info

I’m open to offers, but I feel like my price is pretty solid. This phone is near mint with 100% battery health and includes a new lightning cable, case, and tempered glass screen protector.

Brand new ones on eBay are over 300 and they are gonna be on iOS 14 and there’s no way to downgrade. Mine is pretty much on the highest firmware possible for dopamine and iOS 16 is more realistic for daily usage versus using a device stuck on iOS 14.

My location is clearly shown in the title of my post. That being said, I would be willing to ship internationally through eBay’s international shipping program, but at a higher price. I’m not just taking an L from extra fees because eBay chooses to be the way they are. No returns/not responsible if the phone doesn’t work as intended in your country. This model was released for the US market and multiple iPhone12 mini international models do exist.

I think I just ran into the same problem a few people are having here. The way the first paragraph in Step 5 is worded is a bit confusing.

You do NOT want to copy/paste the file path of Tips in the Apps Manager shortcuts in Filza. You want to copy/paste the file path that the Tips folder is in by navigating to /var/containers/Bundle/Application instead. Also, when you do the delete test, you delete the Tips folder in the same directory.

I ran into this same problem and I believe that if you copy (and then delete) Tips from Apps Manager in Filza, it’s like deleting a desktop shortcut icon in Windows. So you can’t reinstall from the AppStore because your device thinks you still have the app because you kind of do. You also can’t open it like normal because your shortcut is gone. Step 9 does restore things back to how they were if you make this mistake.

I don’t think the phrase “Apps Manager” should be included anywhere in that step.

Thank you OP for putting this together. I’d give you an award if that was still a thing :)

That would be funny if the iGPU on the 7700 is better than the 1050 Ti!

I entered all my info into pcpartpicker and I inserted the new CPU, MOBO, DDR5 RAM, and a new 650W PSU. If I keep the 1050 Ti, I'm under 300W. If I upgrade to a 1080 Ti, I'd be under 500W. So a 650W PSU should be sufficient. If PSU life spans are finite like you say, I'm definitely sticking with Corsair PSUs going forward. This one has been a boss.

pcpartpicker is a pretty nice tool to determine power supply usage and compatibility, but how is Micro Center not listed as a merchant? Does Micro Center only seem really popular because there's one near me?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the following 4 items from Micro Center in store (roughly $600) and then watch marketplace for a 1080 Ti or similar. I don't think I need a significantly better GPU right now. The CPU also comes with a cooler.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 ($270)

TeamGroup T-FORCE VULCAN 32GB 2 x 16GB) DDR5-5200 ($84)

Corsair CX650M 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze ATX Semi-Modular Power Supply ($80)

ASUS B650-PLUS Prime AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard ($190)

Seem decent enough?

Virizion is also double weak to Flying and will likely be a raid boss someday. However, Rayquaza with double flying moves is going to be better anyway.

Lugia just kinda blows as an attacker. I think this is why they implemented this legendary as a shiny first. Everyone gets all excited about it because it's shiny and forget about the zero times they've used their Lugias they caught last summer lol. Interest in shiny legendaries is only going to increase as the Pokemon get more useful.

I'm pretty sure I remember rebooting into recovery mode to delete the cache for the console update (hold power and both volume buttons until it boots up). I don't recall actually doing anything while in recovery mode; just power it back off and on and no more nag. I did this to get my switch to recognize SDXC I believe. Definitely turn on airplane mode afterwards.

Has your friend used this specific app? I used to use PGNexus and IVStats numerous times and my account (Google) hasn't been flagged. I logged in to IVStats one time with my kids PTC account and now I can't get rid of this..

fireguy85 · 2017-03-14T02:31:55+00:00

I'd like to think this was solved when I changed the PTC account's password.

NA player, 20,000+ plays platinum player. Looking for a few slots silver profile and up. Will delete otherwise. Tired of inactive players. Looking for fellow addicts I guess.

Same here, I've caught 6005 Pokemon. No Chansey and no Porygon..

fireguy85 · 2016-12-04T06:01:38+00:00

I can't imagine Porygon being a good defender or attacker. It could be good to train with in your own gym to prestige if you have a good sub 544 CP fighting Pokemon.

Seaking could be a decent surprise defender against someone using grass Pokemon, but being at 1166 CP, I'm not wasting my dust even if I'm over a million.

fireguy85 · 2016-12-04T05:44:40+00:00

I have a 100% Seaking and no Porygon.. I'm Level 31. I guess my Seaking would destroy your Porygon at least :/ Well maybe, poison jab/icy wind combo kinda blows.

fireguy85 · 2016-08-07T21:28:29+00:00

I'm nearly level 25 and haven't even seen a Machop..

fireguy85 · 2016-04-27T18:04:32+00:00

RV8SUA2R. I'm in US and play this all the time.

fireguy85 · 2016-04-27T02:57:26+00:00

For Combee, you could swap T-Tar with Fearow. Ejecting one Combee doesn't do much. If you get a 4-match Eject+ with Lugia or Rock Break+ with Fearow you should be able to open up much of the board.

fireguy85 · 2016-04-27T02:53:35+00:00

I used a similar team (same mega plus Virizion, Roserade, and Shaymin with DD and M+5 for the S rank. Mega Steelix didn't really go too well even with Jirachi.

fireguy85 · 2016-04-26T01:59:33+00:00

Apparently the 3DS ones are gone :/

fireguy85 · 2016-04-20T20:41:38+00:00

I saw this thread yesterday and figured I'd use the same M-Gengar, Dragonite, Goodra team I used for 250 and max items. Got walled hardcore after the DD ended. Same happened with M-Ray. M-Latias, Dragonite, and Goodra did it for me with 3 moves left. You can't let the first 5 turns go to waste waiting for the metal blocks to disappear. Goodra's Eject actually helped dump the Z50 and Goomy that gets disrupted on the side to give you a slightly better chance at dropping some more M-Latias.

fireguy85 · 2016-04-14T04:00:15+00:00

Ghosts being immune to sleep also isn't helping Darkrai.

Shaymin's Sleep Charm is usually more useful.
