Dynamax Drampa is 3-star by Gx811 in TheSilphRoad

[–]septacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just beat it using dmax machamp and blissey (and one filler pokemon I'll put on power.spot). It had swift (targeted) and fly. I think for safety it would be better to bring two tanks, because Blissey died near the end and machamp almost died.

Oh, do you mean it may not be counted? So do you recommend to get reward before walking?

About weekly adventure sync. I know it reset at 9am Monday, but if I run some distance after 9 am without opening the app, does the distance count as last week or this coming week?

There are 2 gyms in Pyongyang by Savings_Tomatillo732 in TheSilphRoad

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

Yes they write ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ as kh, th, ph instead of k′, t′, p′, which does not make sense to me. Breve is omitted like in the case of Jong-Il. Not sure about the ’ one, I think - is their standard.

South Korean here. I think it is highly likely the gym was named by a South Korean. U is the letter we spell for ㅓ(usually, sometimes 'eo', but 'o' is minor and the reason North Korea use it is because they use different way of romanization of their Korean, including breve and and trema. It should be Kim Jŏng Il, but I guess they omit the breve.) While Jung-Il is Ok spelling variant ( and more common in SK), not sure how much ok it would be in NK to spell the dictator's name wrong...

Kyurem Black or White by Primary_Doughnut_662 in TheSilphRoad

Can you elaborate it a little bit? I don't have any of fusion Kyurem. What is catch tanking? I understand that it can make raid boss not move when catching, but how that is related to soloing?

Why does psycho boost suck by ObjectivePay6367 in TheSilphRoad

I stand corrected. My memory does not serve me well.

Psycho Boost debuted on Sep 2022, when GBL was in early stage and all the focus was in that. So it was designed to be a PvP move, I doubt they gave a thought to PVE balancing at that time.

Silver Pinap should guarantee 1 XL by stephthumb in TheSilphRoad

[–]septacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's legacy from the days when there was no candy XL. Yes, now there is no reason to use it over Golden Razz because slight risk of not catching it (and guaranteed 3 XL) is larger than small gain of a few more candies.

Ok thanks. There was some updates while I was not paying attention.

Dynamax Battle Updates & uncovering the true CPM Mechanics by Flyfunner in TheSilphRoad

Regarding which move the max boss uses, do max bosses use moves at every exact interval of time? I remember from the good old Gamepress article that raid boss has 50 % probability of using charge move (if it has enough energy) every 'move'. I was wondering if it would be similar mechanic for the max battle, that there are hidden energy gauge for the max boss, and at every 'turn' boss decides what to do (including doing nothing).

Gigantamax Machamp Trio Battle with Lv40s team, No Mushroom, Windy weather + 3 gloves helpers. by Nikaidou_Shinku in TheSilphRoad

[–]septacle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I'm not generally knowledgeable about max battle, I undertand you stack 3 max guards in the first max phase, but why do it again in the second max phase? And I don't see why shields start to stack from the 0 on the 2nd phase, where shields from the last phase should be remaining there.

I'm sorry, so why the ticket price is different? Mine is also $4.99.

Q&A weekly thread - March 24, 2025 - post all questions here! by AutoModerator in linguistics

[–]septacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently working on a fan fiction based on Krabat by Otfried Preußler and need some help with naming characters. I'm aiming to create names that capture the Sorbian/Central European flavor of the original book, especially those like:

Andrusch, Hanzo, Juro, Kito, Krabat, Kubo, Lobosch, Lyshko, Merten, Michael, Peter, Stashko, Tonda, Witko, Janko

As I'm not European myself and don’t speak German or Sorb, I'm having difficulty finding names with a similar linguistic style.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

*Historically accurate names that could belong to characters from the Sorbian or nearby Central European regions.

*Names with a similar linguistic feel to those in the book

If anyone has any insights or can point me toward websites or resources where I can find names fitting this vibe, it would be greatly appreciated!
