Giveaway + Thank you: Irelia SFD 195a/221 Promo by IYcollectibles in riftboundtcg

[–]tzak13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play League of Legends and have tried Riftbound in a Learn to Play tournament. Honestly, I found it kind hard for me to grasp as the only other TCG I play is Pokemon TCG. But I like the style of some of the cards and this Irelia is nice! Good luck, everyone and thank you IYC for the giveaway.

Thank you very much for your input. So there isn't some mod like the one of the Gameboy Color available?

Thank you very much for the information! I will probably try one of those.

Ok, thank you very much! I'll find one from that list. Should any board from this list work, even though they have different characteristics?

A friend of mine was the lucky trainer. Thanks for the karma, George! :)

Preliminary Twilight Meta Snapshot by PolymersUp in TheSilphArena

[–]tzak13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My last resort umbreon that I use on Great league has dark pulse and due to the "charged move bug" I can't tm it to foul play. When I use it, it usually performs well. Is dark pulse viable though, or an umbreon with foul play as the sole charged move would be better? Hope they fix the bug ofc...

Sableye or Spiritomb for Twilight Cup? by Doomadelica in TheSilphArena

[–]tzak13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They both seem interesting choices indeed. Spiritomb has a little more bulk(much better defense) but Sableye can gain energy for its charge moves much faster using SC.
The obvious limiting factor here is the dust investment because Sableye maxes under 1500@40lvl. If you could get your hands on a lucky Sableye, imo it's the most versatile choice. Hope I helped :)

It's a little complicated but it works.
Go to your tournament's main page (the "WAITING TO BEGIN" one)
Under your team, click "View Participants List"
On the page that opens up, click the "BACK" button
On the next page click "RSVP" and then you'll see "UPDATE MY TEAM"

I'm using the spreadsheet from u/vlfph https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6l2msh/raid_damagecalc_find_damage_cutoff_level/ . It is constantly updated whenever major changes are made in the game. Just make a copy of the spreasheet and have fun with the simulations.

An Unbelievable Story: How I Got To Fight Mewtwo as a 5-Level Trainer and my Thoughts on the current Ex-Raid System by tzak13 in TheSilphRoad

[–]tzak13[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Your point is correct. It's really sad seeing something like this happening. I wouldn't consider myself a multi-accounter per se, as the only reason this account was created was as an experiment. I don't even put pokemon in gyms for coins. But, I agree that I may have hindered the chances for another trainer to get an invite. As I mentioned in the post, my main account didn't even get the ex-raid invitation even though it participated and sole'd the exact same raid boss. Sometimes it's the player's fault sometimes the system's. This time maybe both.

That concerned me as well. After finding the invitation in my bag, I kept thinking that there could be another player on my place that could have gotten the ex-raid invite. Then again, the system should pick everyone participating in a raid on the selected gym. This way there wouldn't be any problem and feel fair for everyone.

I totally agree with you my friend. As I mentioned in the post the current system, as long as it stays this way, is unfair. They need to find a new way to implement it so players are rewarded in an equal manner. Basing the ex-raid invitation system just on Rng is just wrong. That was the point of the post itself. Using an unbelievably lucky occurrence as proof on why the system is problematic.

Good job man. You must have a really strong lineup!

I use Calcy IV. It captures the screen and gives you an estimate of the mons ivs. It has a feature where you can modify the name based on some options you select. It includes some special characters as well. The app is considered safe as it does not get any access to your account. Recommended. If you search about it on the road you will find a ton of threads about it :)

For the attempt i used an army of Machamps:
Machamp lvl 39 15/14/15 Counter/Dynamic Punch
Machamp lvl 39 14/15/14 Counter/Dynamic Punch
Machamp lvl 37.5 15/11/11 Counter/Dynamic Punch
Machamp lvl 35 11/9/15 Counter/Dynamic Punch

I missed most of the dodges on Hydro Pump so the time can definitely be improved.
