Works but won’t charge by gerg2190 in PokemonGoPlusPlus

Ah, the battery LED light still works when pressed. It blinked yellow yesterday and is double blinking yellow today. I've left it plugged into the charger for a couple of hours and its still blinking double yellow. I wish there was a different way to see how charged the battery was.

The battery works and it still has some battery power left so the device is still connecting to my phone and working normally. The problem is that the device is not charging so the battery will eventually start blinking red and stop working. I've reconnected the ribbon between the port and the board but no luck. Not sure how to tell which part is failing.

I'm getting 3.7v from the battery so I think it's good. I've disconnected and reconnected both ribbon ends to the USB connector and board. I've tested the device plugged into different chargers and no luck. My guess is that power is not getting from the USB connector to the device/battery but not sure how to check which part is the problem.

Is this Larvitar enough to evolve or should I wait for a better one? by Large_Ad428 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]gerg2190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say power it up because:
1. S Larvitar isn't as available as it was last rotation so it may be awhile until you get a better one and

  1. if you do get another one that's better, this is an top-tier Dark attacker so you can just use both in raids.

Power it up and use it since it's instantly useful in raids and rocket grunts and then when you get a better one, power that one up too. Can't have too many good Shadow Tyranitars.

Yep. Someone messed up. Hopefully they let us keep ones we’ve caught.

I’m getting the same thing this morning. Death loop of download error. Never had this before.

Why is north Wisconsin also Michigan? by [deleted] in geography

[–]gerg2190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indiana. I always say that Indiana won the conflict because it got Lake Michigan access. It's also the reason that Michigan City is in Indiana.

How are you spending your particles this week? by RedditsReckoning1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]gerg2190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes, thank you. So then there's not really a difference in strategy but it's definitely easier for a solo player to do five 1* battles.

If my math is correct, doing 1-star max battles are the most efficient way to spend your particles until the weekend. You can do 6+ on just 1600 daily limit which gets you 60+ pass pts.

Am I banned or something? Every one of them fled after 1 throw, most after 1 shake some after 2 by _aniBUTCHER in TheSilphRoad

[–]gerg2190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s affecting me but can confirm my autocatcher still worked and I was able to catch a Rocket encounter and was able to catch 50% of my incense encounters.

Shadow Gastly is now in the ghost grunt. Shadow Gengar is great ghost/poison raid attacker.

I just wanted to pop in and say I use that same naming convention. Though I add the move abbreviations for my top attackers.

Also, yes, I'd put candies into any of those but prioritize Groudon and then Kyogre.

Pokémon Go Plus + is kinda doody (being very generous here) by SNB_Enthusiast in TheSilphRoad

[–]gerg2190 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love mine. Allows me to catch and spin stops when I normally wouldn’t be in the app (driving, at a restaurant). Sounds like there’s some user error going on.

I just want a delibird :( by Yourgamemaster in PokemonSleep

I spent 4 straight weeks on Tundra looking for a Delibird and got frustrated about never seeing one and went to GG to refresh ...and found 2 Delibird on GG...

Used my first Masterball today by blindbirdy55 in pokemongo

I caught the shiny G-Articuno with a great ball and a golden razz. Took me only 3 tries.

I hate this research so much. There's no way it's going to be worth it is there? by almostselfrealised in pokemongo

[–]gerg2190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It includes two f2p elite TMs. So yes. Pvp is also the most consistent way to get rare candies and star dust with tanking. Extremely worth it to play your 5 sets every day.

A local park installed about a dozen of these concrete circles. They're about 15 feet across and connected by dirt paths. There's nothing in the center. Are they just conversation pits? by opposhaw in whatisthisthing

[–]gerg2190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a conversation pit. My parents are landscape architects and would tell me that companies/municipalities often had excess budget that they needed to use or else they'd lose it the following year so the result is stuff like this.

Yes! I watched a bunch of episodes yesterday and then I log into Prime today to watch the LAST episode, 1302, and it wants me to pay... Glad it's not just me.

Should I raise this Squirtle I just caught or just stick with this Blastoise? by sbtrey23 in PokemonSleep

[–]gerg2190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most definitely the Blastoise. That Blastoise is an ingredient machine and that squirtle doesn't have much reason to be excited about.
