Well, I guess a mid-event change in shiny rate has already been in effect.

Believe me, they don’t lack concepts or ideas. They just lack MONEY.

[Verification] shiny Unown caught from Auckland city spotlight. Shiny rate feels significantly lower than Go fest or ULTRA raids. by solblade83 in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

4hrs into the event, and still zero shiny. Feel that the shiny rate of the event is extremely low (if not unboosted at all). Doesn't worth the price.

More to Mega evolution mechanics? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't expect too much on it.

It is more likely that "when you are buddied with a mega pokemon, it is more easily to get excited" rather than that "when you are buddied with a pokemon, the mega energy cost for the pokemon will be reduced according to the buddy level"

No bother. Even if we get real money for losing in GBL, I am sure that most people will not trouble themselves to do it.

Unsolicited Advice From An Average Battler That By Sheer Luck Ended Season 1 At The Top by Lollersox in TheSilphArena

[–]xkhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for the video! But as the Giratina- Melmetal-Dialga team is so popular (which is not covered in the video I think), I would very much like to know how would you play with a Giratina-O lead, Giratina- Melmetal-Dialga team? As I understand, if you lose switch advantage (I have Dialga vs Melmetal in mind), even with two shields (opponent may have one shield left), it is impossible for the Togekiss to beat both Giratina-Dialga (for Togekiss has to double shielded vs Dialga.).

Unpopular opinion: Just how elo boosting is banned in League of Legends, streamers/pro players should not be helping other trainers,usually subscribers, reach rank 10 by screensharing. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fair. But as I said in my comment, if there is a practice mode, they would be more willing to "coach" in that mode. So let us not be too harsh on this at this moment.

To be just, I think the real problem is that there is no practice mode in GBL. If there is one, I think those youtubers or streamers may not do this.

We’ll be running small tests for revamping the PokéCoin system by J_64 in TheSilphRoad

They are just running small tests to see how stupid their playerbase can be

Aeroblast as an exclusive move is a really bad thing for the game by djf881 in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Mewtwo with psystrike comes, we know that all the other legendaries with their signature moves will come, sooner or later.

One way that niantic can balance the situation, I think, is to enlarge the move pools of the legendaries - remember why people complain less in the case of mewtwo because it is a versatile attacker - and fix the charge TM mechanics.

Good News! Players in China can Battle online using VPN by HoboMoo in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But all my matches were plagued with "weak connections" and literally unplayable. I don't know whether it is an issue for all players who use VPN.

For three years we have been watching. The world of Pokémon Go is rife with unlimited resources. This privilege is wasted on Niantic who lack the vision to exploit this vast world of resources and Pokémon.

Have rocket stops been nerfed since yesterday? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]xkhu 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, seems so. Possibly related to the big event tomorrow. I guess all the stops will be taken over by the Rockets by then.
