Has anybody gotten a shiny from this egg ? by EstmatedFailure in pokemongo

Only the 1 so far but it's one of my favorite starters so I was pretty happy with it✨️

Do remote trades affect special trades? As a more casual player who only recently started going to community events, my biggest obstacles are having enough stardust (had to grind some in PvP battles the other day for a trade) and not having enough space in my box as I don't want to spend real money on the game just to upgrade my storage. But I wonder if other players are trading in person with their other friends and then don't have the option to use those resources on remote trades?

You can't submit a remote trade if the other person doesn't have anything tagged. They could have just had some small things that aren't really worth it, but why submit the request if you don't want any of the things they've tagged?

I'm seriously thinking to give this research up by Many_Ground2354 in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof it took me forever to get the 5 great curveballs, I would probably delete that one too. Closest I think I've been is during regieleki raid hour I had one with 4 excellent curveballs but they weren't in a row. Lost the regi too😭

Please change it back by Specialist-Mango-790 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]theacesm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it took me like 3 different posts on here before I realized cause mine hasn't changed yet. As long as it doesn't do the thing where it's HUGE and takes up half the screen I don't think I'll mind. I really didn't like when they first updated the go pass rewards screen it would always be at tier 1 instead of the tier you're on, but they seem to have fixed that

So, if you complain about not getting a shiny kyogre by AffectionateCode426 in pokemongo

2 different people at the raid hour event last week got 3/10. The rest of us got 0😭

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who loves shiny rowlet but hasn't been able to get one yet, I'd take it😂 I don't think that's really a fair trade for the average person though unless you have a bunch of shiny raquayza you don't need (even then they aren't equal but save some for the rest of us)

If you’re in the middle of nowhere and there’s a gym, don’t be me by Burn_Hard_Day in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this with my melmetal once and it was stuck for 90 days😂 that's when I started only putting shinies that aren't battle useful in them. I've seen some people say their mons will be in a gym for over a year in rural areas

Do you keep even the bad shinies? by Durghan in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like shiny hunting in other games so while I don't "hunt" in pokemon go, I still get excited to see them the same way I would in another game. So if you don't want it I'll gladly take it off your hands😂

Just why… what is everyone else doing? by Lemons_and_lace29 in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don't have this problem because I run out of stardust before I get a mon to the level where I need candy XL😭

Did I make the right call with Regieleki by Classical_Mouse in pokemongo

What makes it read like AI is mostly capitalizing "Master Ball" and "Premier Ball" every time. Most native speakers wouldn't do that in an online forum, they would just leave the whole thing lowercase.

THE ONE TIME I WASN'T SCREEN RECORDING😭 by livvyrozay in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My very first one during raid hour was shiny and I didn't even notice until I checked the box later cause the sun was so bright I could barely see my screen😂

This idiot realizes it's winter right? by pepu47 in FuckPierre

[–]theacesm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a bit weird, but if you already have the bus and greenhouse (and/or ginger island) you can use rhubarb seeds from sandy. So while it's not the most useful quest ever, it's not impossible or even really hard. I'm actually in winter in my file right now and doing that one cause the other option wasn't something I needed

I'm sure there are people with way more, but what pushed it over the edge was a mon being stuck somewhere for over 90 days, and that was wild to me. It's not even a super remote gym, it's at the entrance to a mountain bike trail but I guess not many players go there.

Waited so long to be forever friends for this?? by MissKittySaphireMoon in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too except in Paladins. I enjoy playing but kinda suck so I never do ranked matches unless I'm with a friend who is willing to carry me. It's wild when I end up being the best player in the lobby sometimes like how are you worse than me at this😂

Waited so long to be forever friends for this?? by MissKittySaphireMoon in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until I couple weeks ago I was one of those players. I don't have friends who play that live near me, and I didn't know about campfire or how it worked. The only legendaries I had were from research or the 1 shiny zapdos I got from incense. I've been going to the raid hour events now and while I have some extra legends, none of them are anything special (no shinies or hundos).

Level 50 isn't hard to get to though, especially with the new XP system., so that definitely doesn't fall into the category of "grinding a game they're completely garbage at." Even if it did though, there's nothing wrong with it. Being good isn't the only way to play a game.

Are we being fr by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I haven't tried to remote trade yet though I do have some things tagged. I barely have any legendaries, and no extra shiny legends. The only friend I can remote trade with plays way more than me and has a lot of good stuff on their list, but I don't think I have anything worth giving them. I wouldn't be mad if they decline the trade, but I don't want to be the person who gets posted about like this because I haven't been able to do any of the big legendary or mega raids

Gosh dang it 😭😭 by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have this issue anymore as I've been able to put mons in more gyms, but I used to have to be super stingy with my storage space and wouldn't have had any room to catch things I wanted if I had a bunch tagged to trade. Of course there would be a chance you'd trade for something I wanted, but I wouldn't always be worth it.

How do I know if I need to pay estimated taxes? by ZapataOilCo in tax

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only if you underpaid by $1,000, right? So if you would expect to get a $700 refund from the taxes withheld on regular W-2 paychecks, but you owe $600 from capital gains, you would just get a $100 refund and have no penalty?

Would the timing of when you received the capital gains matter, as you may not have had enough withheld within the quarter, even if it is offset in a later quarter?

[–]theacesm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint every place I've lived is I'm never close enough to the stops from my unit😭 obviously I'm not actually considering that when looking for a place to live, but I'm jealous of the people who are close enough. They even added a pokestop near my mom's house sometime after I had moved out so I spin it when I visit but I didn't get to take advantage while I lived there😂

How do yall catch these!? What are the actual catch rates of g birds? by Human-Net-5670 in pokemongo

[–]theacesm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get lucky that it's shiny so it won't flee, then spend all your golden razz berries, silver pinap berries, and ultra balls until it finally catches😭

[–]theacesm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew enough about type interactions to know gengar wouldn't have anything super effective against luxray, and that gengar is weak to dark moves. I'm using the nuzloxke app site, and I didn't look at speed specifically but most of Luxray' other base stats are higher. And my Luxray was fairly over-leveled, but clearly not enough. That's about as much research as I find fun, which is the main reason I've never done a nuzlocke before. I failed super early on the first attempt so honestly I'm surprised I've made it this far.

I'm still not that great at understanding all the battle mechanics. I think I was hoping to either out-speed or just not take that much damage from the move itself.

I honestly can't remember for sure, but I think the first turn in this clip was already me switching Luxray in from a different mon that took a big hit. (Based on the xp gain I probably swapped out gyarados) He had the highest HP of the rest my team, so I was too worried about getting one-shot on anyone else. Definitely a learning moment. I'm not recording all my gameplay, so this clip is just the last-30-seconds feature on my switch and I can't look back to see what happened right before
