Articuno isn't a glass cannon as far as I'm aware. Neither is Lapras (but definitely on the weaker attack side, and lacks Aurora Beam). Shame we can't get Mamoswine till next gen.

I powered up my Piloswine barely past 2000cp anyway and just enough to push him into the next point up for its ice quick attack. Won't bother trying to change its charge move with a TM since it has Mamoswine like you said where it'll just get new moves anyway. Anyway it's stats like this that makes IVs somewhat useful. Just going by the Cloyster example, most people with mediocre attack IVs would never reach that extra point of attack given a less hardcore playing where I imagine they'd be in the lower end of level 30 themselves and can't power up their Pokemon to the next point even if they have the candy and stardust.

DeadlyHalibut posted:I think there'll be a valentines event. I mean it makes sense, the 6h lures last until 23rd and this event is only 4 days. So the question is should I hold on to the 8 10 K I've been hoarding for the past month or should I try and hatch them ASAP to get new eggs?

Kyogre get! Broke out of a few nice/great curve balls, handed my phone off to someone who'd gone 5/5 and he caught it with a basic straight throw. RNG is a hell of a thing.

Psion posted:raid fatigue is real, kyogre raid fatigue is the worst I've seen. Part of that is kyogre, probably, but I think part of that is how many legendaries most people have already. you can only keep trying the same trick to generate interest so many times before it stops working. I'm curious to see how much interest bounces back after kyogre leaves. Raid fatigue has hit our group harder than usual: 1: Kyogre is hard to catch making the reward even less than usual 2: Raid times are still poo poo. No Niantic, no one will raid at 5 AM in the morning so scrap that and move the endtime an hour or 2 back so it doesn't at at 7PM when everyone just got home from work. 3: It's the end of a raid boss. 4: People are actively gunning for Exraids. So the daily raiders tend to skip non exraid gyms. The exraid system is such a brilliant clusterfuck working actively against the values of the game.

Darth TNT posted:2: Raid times are still poo poo. No Niantic, no one will raid at 5 AM in the morning so scrap that and move the endtime an hour or 2 back so it doesn't at at 7PM when everyone just got home from work. This poo poo right here kills me. In the summer, raids usually didn't get going until 11 AM or so on the weekdays, 9 on weekends. Now it's more like 4 PM on weekdays, 11 AM on weekends. The raid schedule is the same here, eggs pop at 5 AM, done by 7:25 PM. So there's 3-4 hours of actual raiding on the weekdays. It's extra insulting because I remember when raids went til 9:45 PM. It was dark at 5 o clock in the loving evening until recently, what differenfe does it make? I'm feeling salty about this because I went and took/added to 15 gyms this morning due to insomnia, and saw an egg in my hood on the way home. gently caress that. 5 AM is still yesterday for most people. gently caress the short timers and eggs, too. Make it 15-20 min of egg and over an hour of raid. Darth TNT posted:Reading through that makes me feel like Niantic took a page from Ubisofts Destiny playbook and actively lied to the playerbase to get them to spend money. Supposedly gold gym badges already boosted your odds, except all research pointed out otherwise. I wonder what new research will show. I don't know that they lied, there's a reporting issue with the TSR polls: gotta be a poo poo load of casual players who didn't get passes and didn't report it. It's still a lovely system regardless. I'm now in the #2 spot for most EX passes in the Discord, and I definitely don't deserve it. Meanwhile, my kid has had zero, one of my friends who plays hardcore has had zero, and people who play more than I do have only had 1-2. I can't control it, but still am starting to feel bad about it. Louisgod posted:People think the event will start at 1 or 2 pm pacific today? Seems like Niantic's normal go-to time.

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:I don't know that they lied, there's a reporting issue with the TSR polls: gotta be a poo poo load of casual players who didn't get passes and didn't report it. yeah, TSR is a self-selecting sample ("people who go to TSR") so it's not statistically meaningful for something like pass distribution. Something like eggs, where the RNG is individual per egg and it doesn't matter who gets it instead of passes per account, that's different; the odds are much more in favor of a TSR egg report being accurate. Now that said I think we can all agree there's something stupid as hell about the pass system, but it's not easily quantifiable. And with Niantic changing poo poo behind the scenes with no warning and no communication, it's almost futile to guess. Psion fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Feb 9, 2018 |

So I put Evolve into the search to see what I had enough candy to evolve, and my Dittos are showing in the list, wanting to evolve into Raticates and Golbats. That's a new one. I'm afraid to see what happens if I actually hit it.

seiferguy posted:My ditto wanted to evolve into a pigdeotto, tried it and got an "couldn't evolve due to an unknown error" heh. Yeah, I had an extra and tried to evolve it into a Furret and got the same error. But I guess this is more confirmation that the game remembers what they appeared as, in addition to the "turns back into their old form if you use two Dittos" thing. Man, the database for this game must be a mess.

My new office is a pretty high spawn area in general, and I'm just drowning in Swablu right now. I caught like 10 in the last few minutes. I'm okay with this since you need so much candy for it.
