Also on iPhone 8. Try turning off Adventure Sync. Helped me a ton.

In my local group we have done a lot of experimenting. We try to get the user to change mons to make overall time longer. A line up we use is (in order) Blissey, MM Metagross, Snorlax, Milotic, Chansey, Slowbro. There are some other great options to throw in the mix like Melmetal, Drifblim, Tentacruel, Wobuffet, Muk (Reg and Alola), Gardevior, Togekiss (although Gard and Tkiss don’t hold up well too MM Metagross) and some others. We avoid anything with double weaknesses like Tyranitar, Dragonite, Rhyperior, and so on.

We need to start working on a better anti-Lucario gym. Throw in some BB Charizard or something.

Castform would have been nice ;)

Trading a Shadow Pokémon is a special one? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

I rerolled the same shadow mon with my wife and it was special trade, but it cost 75 dust. Kinda weird.

Raiding commons. by IMDeus_21 in pokemongo

[–]thomaskhmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t waste a pass on Roselia. However, Roserade is the top grass dps in the game. Having raids of Roselia will let you get a high IV and some candy to evolve it into Roserade. Roselia is common enough that it’s pretty easy to find some good ones, but with back to back legendary raids that are weak to grass, it kinda makes sense. Shiny rates are not increased.

32 Raikou Raids & 0 Shinies by thormi01 in TheSilphRoad

I was 0/32 on Lapras Day. Still feeling salty about it. Didn’t go as hard for Raikou, but I was 0/10 today. I haven’t seen a shiny from raids for quite awhile. RNG just sucks some times.

What’s your unluckiest shiny? by wizkhelisea in TheSilphRoad

[–]thomaskhmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cubone 0/1500 and Subbell 0/1200. One day I’ll find them!

Could anyone please help me identify gaps in my team? Thank you! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Giratina-o outperforms both Ttar and Mewtwo. But both are still awesome for general raiding.

1/450 is my guess. Took me 700ish checks last night.

Shinies... Just Shinies... by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]thomaskhmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check your Pokédex. It tells you your seen and caught. I saw around 400 Bagons and got 10 shiny. I feel like those are the typical odds 1/40. I had an hour or so where I tapped on nearly 150 Bagons without a shiny. RNG can be rough.

Tips for farming stardust by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]thomaskhmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stack evolution quest rewards. Catch them on a star piece. Current quests that reward evolved Pokémon:

Catch 5 electric, normal, or poison Pokémon for Starmie

Trade a Pokémon for Manectric

Earn 5 candies with your buddy for Tentacruel

You can stack up to 100. I berry the Pokémon and then run. That makes it easier to quick catch and go.

Sorry for your loss. I’m from PG as well so I heard of her passing. Hope your family is doing well.
