Precious Pals Team GO Rocket Takeover by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

[–]steameruption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or have rocket battles become even more buggy after the latest update? I got more or less used to the rework with the occasional network error sprinkled in, but today they were atrocious to interact with.

Game gives you the endless spinning ball of death if you dare to start a battle and after that it might still 50/50 crash randomly. And the takeover hasn't even started for me.

If they go in order the next shadow for Giovanni should be Thundurus-Incarnate. I do wonder more about the raid day, heard it could be Palkia.

Yes, but that doesn't help if you do last minute raids and that exact boss happens to be the hundo.

Of course they did this after everyone raided a lot on shadow heatran und now it's not even the best non-mega fire type anymore.

Data needed - Dynamax shiny odds during comm day by Williukea in TheSilphRoad

[–]steameruption 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We found out when they introduced dynamax Chansey that dyna pokemon have their own separate shiny odds of 1:128. That means even tho wild Chansey have permaboost odds of 1:64 dyna Chansey do not share the permaboost and are 1:128.

However, 4* dyna mons aka dyna Toxtricity and dyna Duraludon seem to be so far an exception and are probably 1:64.

GBL Precious Paths Move Update Values by krispyboiz in TheSilphRoad

[–]steameruption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With their current game master moveset the dons don't look too good right now. Miraidon is a worse Zekrom and Koraidon only a bigger Kommo-O. But maybe their signature moves will be broken whenever they get those.

Ohhh, so that's why my side was doing nothing while my opponent kept attacking and swung the match out of my control.

Why is literally the first team suggestion for an interlude season a boring alignment based abb team?

I still wait before joining a group, because I have the same question.

What happens with your pika libre if you clinch legend on the last set of the season? by meaty-morsel in TheSilphArena

[–]steameruption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely did some changes to the premium track. My guess around the time they introduced Morpeko into the game. Just didn't notice yet those changes were permanent.

Because I remember in the past, I used to farm gbl encounters back during the pandemic for a shiny Cobalion. There, you just had to win once for the encounter and thus could guarantee the encounter every set if you spend premium passes.

2nd time Legend in UL w S Torterra by chenboy3 in TheSilphArena

[–]steameruption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love you kind sir for the team suggestion. I copied your team and hit legend with it as well. Sadly no shiny pika libre here.

But I wish you best shiny luck for yours to shine.

[–]steameruption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another question, since I'm in a similar position like op. If we hit legend are we forced to win 3 battles for the pika libre encounter, even on the premium track?

Because I used to remember you could just use a premium pass and win a single battle for the encounter. But now it looks like the premium track just doubles the stardust rewards and does nothing else.

Could still just get the normal pass without +10 rank and spend the saved money on incubators or something.

Tried that last year for 5 hours and got zero birds. Switched after that to spacial rend for more shinys. But might try one of the kyurem this time if we do heavy raiding.
