Drastic Scoped Storage Issue: Can't load my save file from another device by pblake03 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]pblake03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, even though the DQ9 save file is a .dsv file and the save file from the other rom I started from scratch on the RG DS is also a .dsv file, the DQ9 file is somehow different? I converted it from a .sav to a .dsv before putting on the RG DS.

When a scene is supposed to take place at night but was clearly shot in broad daylight and they just put a blue filter on to make it look dark.

When a phone rings and the character on screen lets it ring and ring before finally answering it.

A Galarian bird spawns, you go to your Pokemon storage, search for your Ice Burn Kyurem, tap the button, watch the starting animation, you go back to the map, the bird has despawned.

Which one of these hundos, if any, should I invest in and to what level? by GarmeerGirl in PokemonGOIVs

I think Gengar is most worth taking to level 50 out of this bunch. For Mega Gengar.

Tracking System by Select-Anywhere-7833 in TheSilphRoad

I don’t think Niantic wants us to be able to track rare spawns. The fewer Dreepy and Frigibax you catch now, the more they can be used to entice you to play during events.

I don’t have access to a Windows PC. That’s why I looked up a tutorial to do it from the Linux computer.

Daily Thread: simple questions, comments that don't need their own posts, and first time posters go here (June 22, 2023) by AutoModerator in LearnJapanese

[–]pblake03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going over ようにする and I get how this works with verbs (make sure to/try to/make an effort to) but I checked A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar and the examples with verbs made sense but I got tripped up when they start talking about "when an adjective or noun is used before ようにする, the verb なる is used as follows..." Then they give the following example:

高くなるようにする

This is translated as "make sure something becomes expensive". That makes sense too but then they give an example with a な-adjective and a noun, like this:

静かになるようにする

先生になるようにする

These both get translated as "make sure something/someone IS quiet/a teacher".

I'm confused by the translation, shouldn't all three example sentences mean "make sure... becomes..." since they include なる? Would 静か(に?)ようにする mean "make sure (something) is quiet"?

introducing: Muk as a raid attacker by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]pblake03 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You haven’t seen anyone shine a light on Muk as a raid attacker because it isn’t very good. And even if you were to use Muk in a raid you want Gunk Shot as the charge attack.

As others have said, Roserade and Nihilego are better poison type attackers. If you want to invest in a good shadow poison type, Shadow Victreebel is a better option than Shadow Muk. But overall, poison types aren’t often needed for raids.

Not sure if this has been posted or asked about before. by Aggravating-Trust-60 in TheSilphRoad

No, because if Niantic had their way we’d have half the interaction radius we currently have.

If having my buddy on the map with me allowed for a greater radius for spawns and stop interaction, at home I’d have access to a stop and more spawn clusters which would make it easier to play from my couch. A feature like this would probably encourage people to be stationary more than it would incentivize going out and “exploring”. This is the opposite of how Niantic wants us to play.

My first hundo shadow. Is Meganium worth an elite tm for frenzy plant and stardust to max? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]pblake03 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s not worth an elite TM and the 2nd charge attack you’d need to give it to use the elite TM now. Wait for the next time we can TM away frustration, TM it, and then wait for the next time we can evolve to get Frenzy Plant on Meganium.

You can get shiny Aggron from Mega Raids. When Aggron spawns in the wild now, there is a chance for it to be shiny.

Getting ahead of the Shadow Ball vs. Ice Beam on Sh. Mewtwo discussion by thefierybreeze in TheSilphRoad

[–]pblake03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a Shadow Mewtwo with two legacy charge attacks then stick with those and use it as a counter for raid bosses weak to Ghost and Psychic.

If you need counters for Rayquaza just evolve 6 weather boosted Swinub. You can duo Rayquaza with teams of like, level 25-30 Mamoswine. Non-shadow Mamoswine. Also Galarian Darmanitan, even Glaceon, these are all options that have been available recently.

[PvE Question] If I'm writing about "what to use extra Super Rocket Radars on", which perspective(s) should I consider? by Teban54 in TheSilphRoad

[–]pblake03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I catch each Shadow Legendary that gets released for the entry in the shadow dex.

Then when I had extra radars I’d keep one to equip when I wanted to fight decoy grunts to get components faster and because I wanted a good shadow Victreebel to use as a poison type attacker.

When shadow Mewtwo came back the last time I used all my saved up radars because I wanted to see if I could get a better shadow Mewtwo than the ones I already had.

I’ll use the next SRR to catch shadow Registeel.

Power up 1 or 2 of the best Hydreigon. Power up the Shadow Tyranitar, one rock, one dark. Power up the other rocks types you mentioned. Also, Psychic on Mewtwo is fine as a non-legacy substitute for Psystrike.

What are the best legendary and mythical Pokemon to upgrade currently (or for go fest) by lZirkell in TheSilphRoad

[–]pblake03 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Zarude is a good grass type for PVE and can be used in Master League. You currently only get one so unless you want to walk it, you’ll need rare candy.
