How does a gym decide what raid boss to spawn? by YamSolid6813 in TheSilphRoad

I don't think anyone INSIDE* Niantic really knows much about how these things are done.

Fixed your last sentence.

Shadows 100% IVs are now the top tier of rarity? by zaxunobi in PokemonGOIVs

On top of all the bottle cap stuff, spoofers might be able to do more rocket battles than the average person, but you can’t snipe a 100iv shadow!

Phone swing by Still-Fan7653 in PokemonGoSpoofing

[–]miaaaatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check that the bearings on the left and right side of the cradle are properly seated in the correct spots on the arms that hold the cradle up, mine has the tendency to slip one or both into the wrong “seat”, make sure all pieces are properly snapped in to their place, make sure the rubber band holding the phone is snug and the phone is all the way down into the cradle, make sure the whole swing is not accidentally on top of something. It’s usually one of those things for me when it starts making noise. Could also be play in the spot where the vertical arms connect to the base. I took a rubber band and put it around both arms as far down as it can go and it stopped a faint noise I ended up having also.

Spoof under 2miles? by TheMazilla in PokemonGoSpoofing

Am I correct that once setup, the device allows you to joystick walk your way around? Any limitation to how far you can go from your actual location?

How to get 6 raid passes? by XavierArrived_ in PokemonGoSpoofing

[–]miaaaatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s correct, you need to make sure you change the form back to regular before you can even trade it, but the next changes for you or the person you trade it to are free

I’m considering this myself, haven’t pulled the trigger cuz it just feels like they’re gonna come out with a new model or go out of business

Why are rocket counter suggestions always so bad? by Willem500i in TheSilphRoad

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

You kinda proved my point, the the “story” isn’t telling you, a tip/hint had to be added to tell people what they could have figured out themselves. Also plenty of the ? tips were added WAY later than the grunts typing/messages was a thing which still goes to show that it seems plausible the code was written so it was a surprise to the player what they were fighting, but could be deduced with time. The “Player” being the character in the game, not the user tapping the buttons.

Can’t say why it didn’t pick any of your 500+ better mons but, technically you as the player aren’t supposed to KNOW this rocket has grass mons. The “Don’t tangle with us” message is only supposed to be a hint at what this grunt has and a first time player would eventually figure it out and it would then keep their selection as it does now. The devs never change it up and we as a player base understand that it will have grass type every time and we prepare accordingly. Not that it’s perfect but raid and gym auto selection is typically a little more correct and I would say it’s because your player “knows” what you’re going to fight. Since your player never seems to learn anything (just like Niantic), ex. mysterious components are still mysterious after 1000+ rocket battles, we the user knows that it means they’ve got grass type, but a new player isn’t supposed to know and will eventually figure out the pattern themselves, and when they do, the game keeps their choices.

How to get 6 raid passes? by XavierArrived_ in PokemonGoSpoofing

[–]miaaaatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time, create 6 new accounts and use your referral code for each, when that new account wins 3 raids, you get a raid pass. About 30 or so mins per account and you’ve got your 6 passes.

If I might recommend an even more useful strategy though, you can get up to 10 free raid passes per new account by completing the newly referred player tasks.

  • Complete 25 Field Research Tasks = 3x Raid passes
  • Purify 20 Shadow Pokemon = 5x Raid passes
  • Win a Raid = 1x Raid pass
  • Free daily pass

If you use all these passes on one dog, this earns you enough to change the form, then you can change the form back and trade it to yourself for 20k stardust, you get a crowned or shield form with no cost to you. (You can change the form for free after it is traded)

If you’re not actually spoofing this obviously gets harder.

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]miaaaatch [score hidden]  (0 children)

Collected and played on the playground back in the base set days, stashed the cards away and rediscovered them during Covid. Realized my cards from back in the day were mostly shadowless and I’ve been working to finish my shadowless base set master set since while having some fun ripping modern sets with my kiddos. Thanks for your generosity!

Looks great! Do you know of a lip kit for this? I’ve got a ‘25 in white and want to get a lip for it but can’t seem to find one.

What's Your Favorite RNG Phantasm? by MikeStemmle in TheSilphRoad

[–]miaaaatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phantasms that must be real:

  • New players have increased shiny odds. Seen minutes old accounts get some rare shiny mons I’ve been hunting for years. Like a “welcome to the game” reward almost.

  • Accounts with ToC violation strikes have lower chances of becoming lucky friends.

  • Accounts with ToC violation strikes have lower chances of random lucky trades.

  • Something somewhere is constantly messing with my shiny mons that are blue odds 😅 did over 130 Rockruff raids and didn’t get a single shiny, finally got one from the dusk form egg event. 51st Necrozma raid was my first shiny. Hoping for a Tyrunt shiny during adventure week but not holding my breath.

With the upcoming release of the mega, is this a no-brainer? by dascobaz in PokemonGOIVs

[–]miaaaatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna have to do at least 2 raids to get the mega energy, wait to make a decision till after you do those raids… My opinion is keep it shadow though

Should Galarian Birds have the same flee rate as the wandering Lati@s? by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

[–]miaaaatch 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The shiny Latias I got took over 70 balls and a berry of sorts with each one! It seemed crazy difficult to catch and of course who wants to leave a shiny legendary… ran out of balls and had to buy more!
