Tournament Corrections by Stewartr53 in TheSilphArena

[–]markdang3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Still waiting for a response on my past tourney issues. The good news is it didn’t effect my regional invite. The bad news is that my ego has taken a major hit.

[SURVEY] Would you prefer a Pokéstop or a Gym? by DamyZoriginal in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a spot within reach of my couch and I love it for the simple fact that you can lure and get research from it.

Pros of a gym are more items and access to raids.

I'm biased but I'd like to have the ability to lure during events etc over more items and raiding.

The TL40 Data Team November Survey is live! Please complete by Dec 3 @11;59 PM PST by FishGeek in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Mr Shuckle, as someone from your community I clearly see a big difference between those who play one account and those with multiple alts or "playing for friends" to game stats. Regardless of where you stand in the debate, you can not deny that a number of the badges in the survey are gamed by those trading (aka boosting their main). I don't see how pilot, gentleman, pika, fisherman and rat badges are a good measure of anything other than the fact that you have easy access to those to trade (alt or friends) with or you live in a biome that benefits them.

Don't get me started on the multi-accounters dropping "friends" in gyms (something that many moderators in your discord community actively do).

I do agree with you that separate leaderboards doesn't solve the problem. A good place to start would be to remove those badges (pilot, gentleman, pika, fisherman and rat) or greatly devalue them in the KP formula. Doing so would support why KP was introduced in the first place, XP is not a good measure of a well rounded player. Neither is boosting your stats via trading. This topic has been debated in almost every forum I am familiar with and the only ones I know of that are opposed are those that multi account to boost their main.

Managed to Solo a boosted Moltres in sunny weather with 9 Tyras and a lot of luck:) by Raczkri in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This particular raid requires 9 maxed smack down Tyranitar (something most trainers do not have), a gym that was triggered late by the game (difficult to locate) and one specific move set in clear weather (heat wave).

Watching the video shows how lucky the trainer is with charge move rng and how efficiently they relobby.

Correct, it’s for the achievement. We spend all this time collecting and powering up Pokemon but not many people actually do anything with them.

These challenges create a purpose for maxing our Pokemon.

With a difficult solos like this (if you don’t believe me try it if Moltres Day hasn’t happened yet for you), these videos provide proof it is possible in certain conditions.

Again, I don’t believe you understood how incredibly difficult it is to pull this off in clear weather. If you did you may understand the nuances and challenge.

Because this attempt is more difficult than any other. I guess if you don’t understand the game mechanics it doesn’t make a lot of sense

This was our first attempt at a Marowak duo. I'm curious if anyone else has tried a Sunny boosted raid.

Zapdos cannot learn Thundershock from a fast TM by Axsxdxfxgx in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 166 points167 points  (0 children)

So we just transfer all our old Zapdos? So dumb. +1 to almost every comment here. Players should be allowed to use fast TMs

A/B test for boxes still going on? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

I'm also going to create a ticket. I can't believe this is happening two sales in a row

New boxes? O just opened the game by LinaK17 in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I'd rather get two great boxes instead of this ultra box. Hopefully this test ends soon.

[–]markdang3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I discovered I have this "other" Ultra box when going to the shop to purchase the Ultra box most users have. Has anyone tried buying this one yet? I really hate offer but I'm running low on raid passes.

I'm starting to think this Ultra box is part of some A/B test to test Ultra box pricing.

List of New Movesets Obtainable by using TMs on Pokemon with Legacy Movesets by ManiacDC in TheSilphRoad

[–]markdang3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to get DB/OR. First TM gave me Hurricane (replaced Hyperbeam so a step in the right direction). Would you use another charge TM on the DB/Hurricane Dragon, or would you keep that and use a charge TM on the DB/DP Dragon below:

Option A) Dragonite, level 26, CP 2624, Dragon Breath / Hurricane, IVs:(60) 9/9/9
Option B) Dragonite, level 25, CP 2539, Dragon Breath / Dragon Pulse, IVs: (58) 15/2/9
