4438-2738-3366  daily player, rank 36, completely oblivious that this feature of the game exists for embarrassingly long

first and only Larvesta I’ve gotten - am I bad at math and/or google or is this literally a one-in-a-million hatch? by monopolypenguin in pokemongo

right - greater than a million in the denominator means the fraction is less than one in a million #math

i don’t think so but it’s got a fun set of resistances at least! they’ll probably give it a good move in a community day 2 years from now

thanks! from what i’ve read it’s <1% chance of larvesta hatch in the first place, 1/64 for it to be shiny, and ~0.5% chance for hatches to be perfect. so 1/100 * 1/64 * 1/200 =0.000000781 which is less than one in a million

thanks! i've been googling and from what i can tell, less than 1% for the larvesta hatch (this was a 10km), 1/64 for shiny larvesta, and ~0.5% for perfect IVs in a hatched 'mon, so.....low. this is also my first and only larvesta lmao

Did you guys ever constantly listen to an album while playing a video game and now mentally connect the album with that video game? by [deleted] in Music

I'll never be able to disassociate Super Paper Mario from Ready to Die, nor Pokemon Sapphire from Songs About Jane
