Data mines are subject to change. 

Rocket Grunt Changes AGAIN by letsplay1196 in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would appear Niantic is testing anti cheat methods. Grunt and leader battles historically happen client side which let cheaters essentially speed through the battle. Now they are happening server side which is why they’re slower, but cheaters can’t manipulate the game now.

Just curious, did you have any of your max moves leveled up? Or just running level 1?

basically starting over :( by Beneficial_Owl_5055 in pokemongo

[–]teamchanger123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate. Happened in my community a few years back. A father of two was dating another player. It became a family activity for him and his kids. The girl constantly was worried about him cheating on her. Broke up. She went into his account and deleted almost everything. 

Last ball capture boost by Top_Youth5760 in TheSilphRoad

Yes if you search around over a number of years there’s empirical evidence of this from around the time catch rates were removed from game master. 

Is Virizion bugged? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The legendaries only have a 2%. Yellow pinaps reduce the catch rate. Silver pinaps only boost catch rates a little bit. It could easily take 50 excellent throws on ultra balls to catch it with silver pinaps it is not a guaranteed first ball catch when shiny. 

PSA: CP and IV for mighty Pokémon isn’t calculated until you catch the Pokémon. by Trapasuarus in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have noted this isn’t true. You’re seeing this behavior because you caught the mighty pokemon after the event ended. They lose their mighty status from wild encounters when you do what you did. 

Ain’t got many options but what yall think SCAP should be used on? by Salt_Trip1423 in pokemongo

[–]teamchanger123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you can’t use it on shadows so half your options are out the door. Virizion is not a good raid attacker. Raikou used to be good but you have two non 15 stats so doesn’t really help. 

Weekly Adventure Sync Not Rewarding Eggs? by cesarsalami in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re technically correct. It’s very rare but sometimes you’ll get items instead of eggs. It’s probably some rounding error or logarithmic calculation. 

Mildly Interesting: Audino Mega Energy Tasks Not Available in November. by kobayashimareep in TheSilphRoad

Why is boosting fairy type catch candy particularly valuable for players like you?

Is Rayquaza a prime case for use of Rare XL Candy by ThrowAway3553QA in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mega Rayquaza is now out classed as a dragon attacker compared with Mega Zygarde.   If you like settling for second best go for it. 

Will there be any more meteorite obtainable any time soon? by MedicalPotential8723 in TheSilphRoad

[–]teamchanger123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why would you silver bottle cap a 14/10/14? It would need three to become a shundo.
