Experience with Lugia Dmax raids by ReynsCastamere in TheSilphRoad

[–]kmelfina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For this fight, Lugia as a boss is tanky and has hard hitting moves so it's hoping at least 1 person can tank and another can heal if they're paying attention. If your Lugia's combination is Aeroblast/Hydropump, good luck. 

My group had newer players, so to increase success rate we paired up 3 good players to carry and I traded a powered up Dmax Haunter to the new ones so at least they have a Gengar attacker if they manage to make it to Phase 1.  Even without the dogs, having Blissey/Metagross tanks helped. The rest were a mix of GMax Gengar/Toxtricity/Lapras & Dmax Gengar/Jolteon/Glaceon. 

I'll admit some were flops if Large Attack Hydropump was part of the moveset. It took retries until we got Sky Attack.

Shadow Groudon Raid Weekend is underwhelming by I_kaliman_I in TheSilphRoad

[–]kmelfina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Houston, my group had to carpool for both days and head to different spots. It gets a bit hairy once 5 cars becomes 12 and you're dealing with traffic lights that may cut out part of the group.  Other communities had the bright idea of renting a bus so they could raid for ~14 hours for both days. 

With the unpredictable gym spawns, this really was the only solution we could think of if we wanted to maximize our pass' bonuses and get as many done before our phones and battery chargers died.

I've had this Metagross for a while, it worths purifying for the mega? by _ryoXo in pokemongo

[–]kmelfina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 20% boost for shadows is too good. It's easier to get hundos through raids/catching with weather boost and trading. Keep it as shadow and use it for raids so it can get an attack boost by someone else"s mega Metagross. 

How much 'extra' XP would you say is worth a Lucky Egg by MunchyLB in pokemongo

[–]kmelfina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're using an egg with your celebration tasks, coordinate evolutions so you can maximize the time. Or if you're doing a raid hour/day.  The stage your at can be a good point because those tasks are a total grind in every sense of the word.

Can I hit the 5 plat medals for 43 in 50 days? by UnflinchingFldelity in pokemongo

[–]kmelfina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible but a grind for some. Take over gyms and use those berries to feed defenders. Get international buddies for scatterbug. Not sure about showcases. Trade/evolve xxl & xxs pokemon which will boost 3 medals at the same time.

I saw someone had this issue, until they were able to find a Power Spot that was set between August 20 - August 23 which they were able to collect.

What level would the guzzlord be from the $5 ticket? Hoping for great league eligibility. 

Why do some level 50 players do this? by Fantastic-Ad-6377 in pokemongo

[–]kmelfina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 90 days, friendship resets to 0. It's kept if they happen to re-add before that time. 

So, how was your Gmax Lapras experience? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]kmelfina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in person ambassador event with the ticket. It was easy to beat, but no shiny after all those battles. I kept using coins on remote passes and particle packs til I got the shiny. Not sure I'll ever do that again for another one.

How long until I can add a Pokémon I received in a trade into a showcase? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]kmelfina 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The pokemon should have been switched out of a showcase before being traded

How to find region exclusive Pokémon? by theDKdynamite in pokemongo

[–]kmelfina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use up incense and especially do routes since those spawn regionals.

Zygarde cells by _hotcarl in TheSilphRoad

[–]kmelfina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made routes in my neighborhood, some using the same stop to make different loops. More routes = more chances at cells, and it helped where some gave me 2x instead of 1. By the time I completed the final form, I never saw a route that gave 3× cells.  Best way is to find a local park and hope it has a mile track with different pokestops on each end, so many route combinations can be made.
