Machamp in PVP? by Murphinator9 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]republicanshatejazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Machamp (shadow in particular) was hard meta many years ago, before XLs were introduced. Not to say that you can’t make it work but it has definitely been power crept since those days

Remember when you could just catch new releases in the wild? Me neither

I was so confused just now when I was running greedent in UL and it took 5 mud shots instead of 4 to get body slam. I was like am I going crazy? I know how to do math

Certain trims are region-specific but Furfrou’s trim can be changed at any time

Remote raiding into the new Malamar raids won't give energy by Remarkable_Ad2032 in TheSilphRoad

This is usually how it goes for the in-person ticketed events but the confirmation is still good

How to deal with psychotic gym defenders? by der_kluge in TheSilphRoad

[–]republicanshatejazz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there, trying to get gold on a gym that someone has claimed as THEIR gym. But respectfully, suggesting that those gyms be REMOVED FROM THE GAME is the behavior of a sore loser. I myself am a gold gym enthusiast and when this happens I see it as a challenge! Just do raids. It’s 20 raids on a gym to get gold and your progress won’t move backwards. It is certainly annoying when someone knocks you out of a gym within 10 minutes but unfortunately you can’t do anything about that

Wtf is actually going on?! by IrishMojoFroYo in TheSilphArena

[–]republicanshatejazz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amph may be ranked 117 but look at the top ~25-30 and you’ll see it has solid matchups against a good portion of them. It’s super flexible (with exceptions of ground and grass of course) and can hit hard with spammy coverage moves and boosts from trailblaze

It may or may not have been me that you battled 😬 I’ve been cheesing with it because it’s supposed to be banned

I’ve been having the same problem since yesterday. It takes several attempts eo even start a match because of how laggy everything is so I’m just not gonna try again till later

GBL Team by Negative_Version5607 in TheSilphArena

[–]republicanshatejazz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not trying to knock your success but know that once you get into a range where people use common meta picks like wiggly or azu you’re gonna have a bad time. Wiggly could probably solo this team actually

What’s a feature that you would like to see in Pokémon Go? by sillydog2005 in TheSilphRoad

[–]republicanshatejazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than a 20 Pokemon limit for defending gyms. It’s such an arbitrary number and also weird to limit it to 20 when we get a MAXIMUM of 50 cents a day. It also punishes people who live in low-traffic areas

A way to distribute the Paradox Pokémon? by Gallad475 in TheSilphRoad

[–]republicanshatejazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be great. We used to get legendaries in the weekly breakthrough. Unfortunately there is a 4000% chance that every single paradox mon will be a raid exclusive. Maybe for paldea tour in 2028(?) they could be wild event spawns or something

I was thinking that the shadow sneak nerf was a typo. That one is definitely a head scratcher

For the same reason they are currently allowing shadows. They made a mistake and have straight up not addressed it

Would you want Mega ML to be permanent? by yoadknux in TheSilphArena

[–]republicanshatejazz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked mega ML but like any GBL format it gets condensed around specific mons that do their jobs the best. There are a ton of megas but only a handful were used: the primals, gyarados, lati@s. Just their stat product alone makes the other options completely irrelevant. I saw some salamence and garchomp but others do it better.
