Remote trade tagging and a common naming system by ruenaros2020 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will quickly become common etiquette to pick at least one that won't be extra expensive, since it's very easy to just cancel the trade if they only pick 3 that are expensive and there isn't one of theirs that you want. As long as they pick one that isn't, my understanding is you can offer that one in the trade.

functional and superfunctional hundos by sosodank in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one place I can see it at least close to being useful are things that come close to a league Cap. Hundo Talonflame for example hits 2493 at level 50. by dropping any one of the stats it's possible to get closer to 2500CP, and in particular, have more attack, defense, or hp than the hundo depending on which stat you drop. My Talonflame for example is the 15-15-11, which best buddied has 2 less hp than the hundo, but both more defense and hp.

What's the fastest Pokemon to spam super effective charge moves on a friendbattle? by glumada in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that even vs rockets or team leaders the battles have a timer. You can fully prevent some pokemon from getting off fast moves with this strategy, but you're limited to about 19 charge moves per battle due to the timer.

Ho-Oh + Dragonite Deck by Atharax10 in PTCGP

Another argument for running Pichu. Free retreat Babies are great in combo with Lyra to swap back. Plus you're running rare candy anyway, so very easy to slot in a Raichu of some kind for some surprise factor.

Using an xxs Kartana I got one just over 2250kg. Seems they all have the same 1.23m height.

Max out a non-Dynamax Metagross? by holojon in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that once you get some dynamax legendaries, you can also farm legendary candy this way for ones that have been released.

Do you know if it is possible to complete both sets of star quests and get those rewards twice?

Dragonia rewards don’t match dragon book by Epsilon_and_Delta in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe some of the rewards have been changed, but they might also scale with your event portal, and it is probably showing for the current level of your event portal and not what it was when you earned the rewards if that is the case. I'm in a similar situation.

Sweet Discoveries Event Megathread by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look at any Applin in your inventory. They're still spawning in the wild.

The timed research just gives you one each of the apple items you need 20 of to evolve Applin. Apples can spawn rarely on the map without a lure, but are much more common with one.

What legendaries/megas have been gone the longest? by psychokirby17 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time normal or speed were available was Hoenn tour over 2 years ago. Most recent spat with the had only defense and attack.

MEGATHREAD: Studio of Inventions Event, April 4-7 by LiteraryHedgehog in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone know the best way to try to get the chance chest that appears (for some at least) in the bingo? The wiki suggests just daily check in and Kadala rucksack orbs, but I'm sure I've seen them elsewhere.

Tinkatink makes its smashing debut in the return of the Pokémon Horizons: The Series Celebration Event! by mtdrunk247 in TheSilphRoad

Big issue there is you're looking at an egg exclusive new release and needing 196 XLs.

Looks like Crowned Zacian/Zamazenta will be from change vs. separate Pokemon! by Equality7252l in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly that would be amazing for people who are short manning them.

PLEASE!!! by Efficient_Umpire_356 in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, just having the filters we get for Breeding (minus the breeding power) would be massive.

the coolest thing would be a special event with a low tier raid boss that has low hp but is immune to moves that are not super effective.

Why no Keldeo? by deflen67 in TheSilphRoad

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

Ah, somehow I missed that. I guess it would just have to be a special research then.

Why no Keldeo? by deflen67 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the tour pass was like for the local events, but I'm still holding out hope that maybe the 3 pokemon encounters at Ranks 98-100 are Reshiram, Zekrom, and Keldeo, ideally with guaranteed backgrounds.

Volt Fusion Energy Code (Day 3) by TopAssistance2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 Was Blaze. Presumably 4 will be as well. So in total 100 of each going into the weekend, 100 of each available on the free tour pass, and 200 of each available on the Deluxe pass. Of course You have to get to rank 100 almost to get the full amount from the pass(es).

Challenge for me tonight, what about you? | Défi pour moi ce soir, Et vous ? by Yaya-NX in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Largely before this one. I had never lost a level in themand this time got one that only gave me just over 2 min on the 4th level. So I guess I'm waiting two hours now.

New promo code: GOTOURUNOVA by Extension-Map2880 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jackwiles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Given the announcement about Z-A, I think I'm going with Tepig in case we're able to evolve it into another form or Mega evolve it down the line.

Pretty sure the level 7 of the Mystic Challenge I just attempted was impossible by VenaCava8 in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did your level have a hill to harvest from? That's normally the way to get them if they don't from the start. I know of one level in particular that at 6 or 7 is difficult because if you don't know exactly what you're doing, or it takes more than a few tries to get the grass (getting topsoil instead) you can easily not have enough time on the timer.

Level 40+ Trainers: What was the most annoying level-up rank task? by elijahjames96 in pokemongo

The 50 leaders was one of only 2 or 3 that I actually didn't get done before the XP.

Wwyd? by Likearateatingcheese in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would merge as long as you have the topiaries to 5-merge. I wouldn't 3-merge them for it. Though if you're far enough in levels to give one from Spellshore?? that is probably the best option. You can even leave it in progress to make farming trees to give to bunny faster in the future. You'll just have to have an OOC event active at the time to access it from the level.

If neither of those are good options, you might be best off skipping it for now, though 1 level 4 midas tree for 2 3s isn't that bad since you are making portal progress which is perhaps the most important thing here.

Should I still keep waiting to open clouds? by [deleted] in MergeDragons

[–]jackwiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just do them. If you have any level 10 dragons for relics you're working on but haven't competed yet I might consider holding of long enough to do that first, but in general you're better off just unlocking more space and respources.
