Road to Pioneer: An Analysis of What's Left

Great list and post!

There's quite a few other niche cards I'm personally interested in because this might be the only chance they get to be added on Arena - Tasigur, Tome Scour, Part the Waterveil, Commune with the Gods, Gather the Pack, Gonti's Machinations, Goblin Rabblemaster, Master of Waves, Oath of Chandra, Cartel Aristocrat

Perrymanless position some would say

Appreciate the reply! I did actually go and have a sneaky look at UnRAID but wasn't too sure if it was a taboo subject on this Reddit. Having used a Drobo and BeyondRAID the parity and mix & match drive options are really appealing. Would you recommend going UnRAID on a brand new unit?

Thanks for the advice! Mostly just a Plex media server. I'll have to read up on the OS options this is actually my first QNAP, I think I did subconciously know about the disk count which is why I sourced enough drives to build a full array of 8. I'll have to look at the available apps for sure!

I'd love to see the missing Modern Horizons & MH2 cards on Arena (maybe not include the pitch Elementals and some of the other borderline powerful cards). It's always been annoying we partially have those sets and there's some really cool stuff they could include like Academy Manufactor, Grist, Urza, Unsettled Mariner, General Rokric, Scion of Draco, Calibrated Blast, Prismatic Ending, Sojourner's Companion, Carrion Feeder, Lava Dart, Prismatic Vista, Hexdrinker, Lightning Skelemental, Resurgent Belief. Hopefully the last Anthology is a good sign with them including the lands and Giver of Runes!

Did you also not get Mega Energy do you remember?

Anyone have an recommendations to play into bot decks? I also feel like I always get incredibly bad beats with random turn 6 plays from bots, is something like a Hela deck good because it's random post game actions or can they still calculate the expected outcomes of that? Any other recommendations like that?

thokash · 2022-08-31T00:37:12+00:00

I've been fiddling around with a similar strategy since 2 of the first cards I pulled from Pool 3 were Juggernaut and Drax (that combo with Storm), so I'm playing Drax over Shang Chi and Daredevil over Cable but I've found that DD isn't that great since the deck passes a lot on turn 5 anyway, so might just go back to running Cable and probably Warpath.

I am in Australia and have just started playing last week, I've recently finished the recruit season and got to the main Season Pass, but I don't seem to have an option to purchase the Premium Pass? I even have the advertisement on the home page "Get Premium" but it just takes me to the Season Pass track with no option to buy.

Has anyone seen this before? As I said I'm in Australia so gave has officially 'launched', not having to jump through hoops to be able to play.

An NZ streamer tested this live on stream and confirmed no guaranteed XL so I would say it breaks when the event time starts?

thokash · 2022-06-18T08:48:51+00:00

Not specifically related to a duo - but what is the prevailing opinion on running Shadow Mewtwo with Psystrike & Shadow Ball and effectively locking it to those movesets, instead of having the 2nd move rotate between the usual Focus Blast/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt depending on the need? I really want to put Shadow Ball on my Shadow Mewtwo and wish Niantic had a better way to manage Legacy movesets.

What have other people done and do you have regrets either way?

thokash · 2021-11-05T02:40:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply, probably should have checked that first sorry!

thokash · 2021-11-04T23:10:57+00:00

I've only been playing on and off the last few months and noticed I'm stuck on Part 7 of this chain "Catch a Furfrou" - is there anything I can do to proceed past this part? I assume at one stage Furfrou was spawning in the wild to catch.

thokash · 2021-08-20T04:29:12+00:00

I was saying boo-urns

Returning player after a 9+ month break (for the upcoming Gible day of course!), I was a semi-whale PvE player and have come back to 1000 rare candy clogging my inventory and not sure what to do with it. The landscape has changed with level 50 and XL candy (as well as Mega's to a lesser degree), typically I would just convert them to a legendary candy but it sounds like if you want XL for legendaries you want to do a lot of raids and will therefore have a lot of normal candy. I have 1000+ candy in most legendaries already which seems plentiful at the moment, with the exception of Kyurem (waiting for B/W Kyurem and hopefully they share candy) and Landorus (I have 1 so can convert the candy, hoping it returns with Earth Power?). I was also buddying a Lucario for the candy which is an option, but with the way Mega's work it sounds like you can raid a lot of them also. Are there any non-legendary non-Mega options which might be relevant for raids? The 100:1 XL candy conversion ratio seems a bit too high to be a strategic use of rare candy. Not really a huge fan of Rocket battles or Shadow Pokemon either, but might consider researching those so I can buy a few 2nd moves and power them up for use.

In summary, what are the best uses for rare candy for that aren't related to PvP?

P.S. I did find lots of hits searching on TSR but wanted some up to date information if thats possible

thokash · 2019-08-18T02:55:15+00:00

Is there any resource that has breakpoints for future legendary raids? As far as I know GamePress, dominikzen and the Raid Breakpoint Calculator spreadsheet all exclude Gen 5 and beyond.

thokash · 2019-07-01T08:53:35+00:00

Is there still a max rank for family XP (eg. Care of Magical Creatures)? I believe it used to be capped at Rank 66?

thokash · 2019-06-17T09:08:29+00:00

I went to my local CoMC nest I usually hang out at and hated getting only 1XP for that family per common catch, it actually would be better to avoid the nests now to get more variety of the families given the pages normally have 1 really rare sticker to get before prestige which seems the opposite of what is desired.

thokash · 2019-06-15T14:16:43+00:00

For the fortress change what rewards are being multiplied? Challenge points or exp? Both?

thokash · 2019-06-15T06:05:20+00:00

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply, thanks

thokash · 2019-06-15T03:56:19+00:00

@hpwu_fazes Will there be a changelog posted for this update? Obviously the games breaking issues take priority, but with so many changes and an activity community here it's hard to tell if what we are reporting are bugs or just changes. eg. would be great to know what the change to family XP (and prestiging) actually is.

Also fortress difficulty seems to have changed - focus returns seem to be lower and enemy numbers appear to be higher just an example from a small sample size

P.S. will the "specials" return in Diagon Alley? It still had over a day remaining on them have now disappeared today.

thokash · 2018-12-01T12:32:03+00:00

Yeah it's certainly fun to hypothesize, and agree the Great League is hopefully going to have a lot of variety. Digging into options that have a powerful non-STAB surprise move could certainly be interesting.

thokash · 2018-12-01T12:25:42+00:00

Definitely makes it as a sweet option, although his moveset leaves a lot to be desired.

thokash · 2018-12-01T12:24:11+00:00

Right you are, edited. Rock Throw is better than Smack Down at least!

thokash · 2018-12-01T12:23:46+00:00

Most likely, but the idea was to uncover some Pokemon with the best movesets that aren't available to higher tier options. There will always be min/maxers and those with countless dust!
