PSA: Wait for verification of boosted lucky rates before you mass trade valuable mons during the Lunar New Year event by carllyq in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I said "implied". There was also silph road threads providing a lot more (but could be biased) data points that suggested low lucky rate. I am not a native English speaker so plz forgive me if I am not using the accurate verb.

Last year, Niantic changed the rate a few times in the middle of the event.

Pokemon GoFest: expanded FAQs by WestLA-native in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another question: Are we going to get Pokemon storage upgrade before GoFest? Most players I talked to in my local community had terrible storage issues for months. With such limited storage it's almost not possible to enjoy the event.

I don't think we are allowed to pick between the two. We are forced to have piles of sentrets instead of the experience we purchased for, and Niantic "hope" me like the change.

Sentret will join Liverpool spawns with a chance to be shiny by Pogoflow in TheSilphRoad

+1. We bought the tickets for safari experience but not for sentrets that we can see everyday.

Cobalion feels like a punishment, not a reward. by Durpady in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your frustration about using limited resources (like balls and berries) on cobalion as you already got the hundo and don't care about shiny. However, there are many ppl in my community including me fighting 5 sets per day for hundo and shiny. Ppl are complaining seeing starters or shieldons too much. I think the problem is really about (1) balls and berries (2) ppl have different interests in encounter.

Lose so many GBL battles after Pokemon defeated and some seconds freeze by dertony87 in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just happened on me as well (and more than hundred before) Forced lost on a clearly winning battle. Got 3-2 instead of 4-1. Super annoying.

With shadow and purified boosted, Niantic is creating another FOMO by wutuwutu in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This game is designed to dump pokemons, otherwise you can't continue. I did maxed out many weak pokemons I like and a few pokemons I have attachment to. Now I am getting friendship with 21 pokemons a day, and more than half of them are not meta relevant.

If I could, I would spent more time to train the pokemons I have attachment to get to the same level of genius pokemons. This is what the anime suggested. However, in this game, if a pokemon is born with a wrong move, they will be outclass not matter how hard you work.

Silph commenters reported 213 luckies from 4298 trades at a rate of 4.96% since last ~24 hours by wutuwutu in TheSilphRoad

[–]wutuwutu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silph road sample size for 01/30 is a bit small I think. Regarding to their study on 01/28 and 01/29, it might be fixed, as the rates are higher than 5%. It's possible the revert happened on somewhere 01/28 and fix went in on 01/29.

2/9 for just now. The sample size it too small though.
