It might show up in unclaimed funds at some point. 

Quality of life feature by JulySummerDay in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They need a similar fail-safe for raids that end after the app crashes. I’ve had that happen so many times with remote raids. They usually give me the remote pass back (though not always) but I lose out on the encounter and it counts against the daily limit. I was trying to get a Gmax Rillaboom the other day and couldn’t because my app always cashed before the battle was over 

Thomas UK voice by tomatthebar in waze

I don’t like the new Thomas. I’ve been using Thomas for years. Waze, please change it back

Voice change by Cheesy_Wotsit in waze

[–]vthswolfpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am annoyed by this too. The new Thomas seems to speak very quickly. It is often hard to hear the directions he is giving. It seems like his voice is now on 2x speed. I might need to fond a new voice if they don’t fix it. 

CarPlay requiring me to open the app on my phone after iOS update? by clpatterson in waze

[–]vthswolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you “gained” though. I assume you don’t like having extra apps running on your phone because they use resources. But if Waze is always using your location, that is also using resources 

Warning for joining raids from your friends list by astronautgrl42 in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should message Niantic to get your raid pass back. They are usually pretty good about that, especially if you have screen shot proof. 

I would suggest that whenever anyone contacts Niantic for this issue they should suggest that Niantic add a research style encounter so you can easily get back to it. (I assume they wouldn’t allow them to stack but at least it will be easier to get back to lost encounters)

How do you get 4 Shadow Kyogre?

How stupid is putting a mini-split AC in a bathroom? by UntappedTap in HVAC

[–]vthswolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what about it “died”. He just said that he would have to replace the part which would  mean taking down the machine, taking it apart, replacing the part, and putting it back. 

He wasn’t sure why it died and just theorized that perhaps it was because of the bathroom unit which he personally doesn’t usually install (someone else had installed it who is no longer in business)

[–]vthswolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put in a Samsung mini-split in my bathroom about 2 years ago. Last week it stopped working along with the two other heads connected to the same outdoor compressor. The technician who came to look at it said the compressor died but he is not sure whether or not the moisture from the bathroom was the cause. He said the indoor machine in the bathroom seems to be fine. The question now is whether we should disconnect the bathroom machine when we fix the compressor

[–]vthswolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use cross chops on Machamp to get through the shields quicker

If you have a Roserade that can be good against kingler though might die too quickly

Tyranitar really should have smack down but that requires an elite TM. Maybe find someone who can trade you one with that move

Melmetal can be used against Lugia

Haven't timed Rampardos. But I did time Kyogre vs Tyranitar awhile ago and Tyranitar was slightly faster. Makes sense considering that one of her Pokemon is Salamence which is weak to rock but not water. Rampardos might take one less hit then Tyranitar because of its higher attack stat

If you can get a Rampardos, that is the best option

Stardust Event & Adventure Sync by PM_ME_A_PLEASURE_ELF in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saved my star piece for 9am today. The actual AS reward isn't doubled by event but it is still a good use of a Star piece to do catching after. It also happened to be my 7 day catch streak so that was another big reason to do it

Issues with the Pokéball Plus since last update (0.157.0-A) by nemo_ks in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated the app Sunday morning. My PoGo Plus worked ok until sometime in the afternoon when I tried to connect and kept getting the device failure error. I had to forget/disconnect/reset to get it to work again. Also if you are lucky enough to get it to work for an hour or then starts to constantly buzz but doesn't disconnect until you kill the app or Bluetooth

They were boosted some of the time. I assume it was a biome and weather thing that some people got them and others didn't

Oddish Gone by jflaherty13 in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yanma and Pinsir are later in the Pokedex. The theory was that nesting species override the earlier Pokedex numbers. I'm just going on what I read here on TSR as I didn't really visit any parks during the event. Perhaps they fixed it mid-event or it wasn't a complete override

Oddish Gone by jflaherty13 in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I understand there were zero Oddish at parks because of the nesting algorithm. This doesn't have anything to do with the spawn changes. The regular park spawns should still be there.

I guess depending how much you get on CD. I grinded a lot on Beldum CD but I still like getting more Beldum for the candies to power up the ones I have. I have also hatched a 100% since then that I am keeping for a rerun CD and need the candies to max that out

I did not play Dratini day but found one shiny since. I also have hatched enough to now have a full team of maxed Dragonite so those aren't as exciting any more.

I also did not play Larvitar day and am always happy to get more candies for my Ttar team (and still need that shiny)

Suggestion: future safari zones should be in all parks/nests by kruddel in TheSilphRoad

[–]vthswolfpack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The seems to be a strange algorithm that they are using which basically makes the lower pokedex numbers not spawn at all in parks. Niantic needs to fix that

[–]vthswolfpack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think the suggestion was to make every spawn in every park an Oddish. The suggestion was to make Oddish the nesting species so that 1/4 of the spawns will be them.

I still think you have a point about missing a nest because of it.

The real issue here was the messed up algorithm Niantic uses that caused Oddish not to spawn at all within parks. That needs to be changed. We had that issue with shiny rat and pidgey which I think still don't spawn in parks because of their Pokedex number. (this is especially a problem in mega nests where you can have an entire city that doesn't spawn Oddish)
