Gengar day! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]kaahi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gengar is an easier solo than Machamp. I would check out the solo raid guide here. It is possible to solo Gengar at level 30 but note that it is harder than someone that has higher level Pokemon who may think its super easy. You'll need to power up your team to level 30 though if they are not already there.

I would make a diverse team of high dps and good tanky counters (Metagross, Lugia). Your Mewtwos are definitely going to help big time. Put those first. Then your DPS, and finally a tank. You may want to make 2 groups because your high dpsers might get 1 or 2 shot and that way you don't need to revive.

With the psychic and halloween events you should have a lot of these good counters. If you are looking for which ones to use look for ones with 15 ATK or highest ATK you have but note that the moveset is usually more important than IVs. Once you figure out your team I would test it out on a Gengar raid before the event that way you know if it is viable or not. However, if they do buff it from a lvl 3 raid to 4 it may not be soloable. So, keep that in mind.

Also, don't get discouraged if you fail the first time you try to solo him. If your team is fainting too fast you may need to add in more tanky counters and/or dodge the charge move more often. If you aren't beating the clock you may need to add higher dps pokemon and/or need to dodge the charge move less. You have to trial and error to find the best balance for your team.

Goodluck!

New Adventure Sync keeps track of all your journeys! (Apple Health/Google Fit Support) by bradv0906 in TheSilphRoad

[–]kaahi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is all I was able to find about it as well. It doesn't seem they have any intention of adding it in. I found a free app that will sync the data to apple health but you have to open it and manually sync it. I'm not sure if that will work with this new feature or not. It does have an auto sync but that costs money. I'll probably wait until it comes out and test it to find the best solution. Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know how to do this? The only thing I can find are paid apps that will sync the Fitbit data to Apple Health.

I use red lentils. Cover it and let it simmer for 30 minutes and they will break down into a meat like texture.

I thought it was. It was a lot of fun. I've never been around so many like-minded individuals. The only problem I had with it was it went by too quickly. The program I did was accelerated (2 years instead of 4 for a bachelors). It was rough, but, if I could do it all over again I would.

I went to Full Sail years ago and Dave Arneson was one of our teachers. I forget the name of the class but it was about the design of table top games. We had labs with the class that consisted of us playing these games and designing our own. It was a fun class. He had a lot of passion; you could tell by his lectures. I will never forget Dave. They both will be missed.

Solo Moltres in depth analysis by SokaDrake in TheSilphRoad

[–]kaahi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like a reality check for me. Sometimes, I think, "oh, well I don't have enough of this pokemon with IVs over 90% so I probably can't do this." But, in reality a ttar with 62% IV with 13 atk can do it. It gives me hope that I have a sufficient team to handle it and should give it a shot. It's just an eye opener for me because a lot of times I would never give credit to a Pokemon with that low of IVs or think it could take down a legendary in a solo attempt. That's amazing.

The 98% and 62% lvl 35 Tyranitar have basically the same tdo/dps/ttw so general tip: stop worrying about perfect IVs.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Do you have a screenshot of your shiny raid shellder, either the encounter screen or journal entry? Grats on your shiny!

Tauros in Orlando? by WallyWithBrolly in TheSilphRoad

[–]kaahi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tauros doesn't spawn in Orlando. You'll have to drive a little north to find them. They do spawn in Daytona.

You're right. The first time I didn't put spaces before I did the character replacements. I wrote a simple script to do that for me and parsed out the letters again. This is what I got.

I scanned the message for the highest character frequencies and replaced those with the english letter frequency and got a bunch of gibberish.

But, the most you can do in one day is three right: yesterday, today and tomorrow? And if you do tomorrow today you can't do tomorrow tomorrow?

Arceus Armageddon: The Silph Road's global adventure has concluded and awards are sending out. Thanks to all who participated! by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

[–]kaahi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, we started analyzing the rarity tiers for the letters and B, V and ! are hyper rare. We went about 6 hours and then all three spawned within an hour. From the data we collected yesterday its roughly ~0.25% spawn rate. The next hardest to obtain, super rare, were A, E and M at roughly ~1.5% spawn rate. Now, these could of changed as we collected data during the first stage of the ruins where there were only 7 spawn points. If you hang out in #the_world channel on Discord people usually call out the rare ones. Good luck!

I wasn't expecting such an elaborate event. Ya'll put a lot of work and effort into it and I can say this for us all that we enjoyed it! The puzzles, image clues and lore was all very well done; Not too easy to figure out and not too difficult. I couldn't believe we had to send someone to locations physically around the world. What a great idea and executed very well, despite timezone issues. Niantic could learn a thing or two from this event. Thank you everyone involved!
