    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Well 2ks and 10ks are still generally worth it, and there's always that shot at an exeggcute from 5ks. But yeah of all the things you can do with GPS spoofing, capturing regionals is even scummier than Snorlax sniping.

    No you can't. Your student cheated and you should absolutely shame him in front of the entire class. To add to his data, I'm at 236 hatches with 0 regionals.

    That is one of the greatest strengths of my old fatigue warrior list, incredibly simple mulligans that change very little between opponents. You generally wanted the exact same cards for every single matchup. I haven't played it at all lately, but I suspect that's actually even more true now...

    Hearthstone

    Most of the time that high level skill makes a difference, it's in figuring out your best chance to get out of a bad situation and then just hoping things go your way. One of the best examples I can give of this is several months ago I was playing hunter and staring down a nasty board against...

    The problem is that 9 times out of 10 (or maybe 99 out of 100) that skill doesn't matter. It's satisfying as hell when it does matter, but it generally doesn't. Or I should say, the skill difference between a competent player and a high level tourney player.

    You really won't find Dratini away from water. I've spent some time with pokeradar looking at spawns in big cities (Chicago, LA, NYC, SF) and aside from nests which I think can be anywhere, Dratini are always along water. Along Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, everywhere along the waterfront...

    It's not just a non-populated area, there have to be no pokemon spawns at all, which basically means no roads, but you still have to have enough of a signal to connect to the game. Also, there's a really big difference between rare and ultra rare. You could burn through hours and hours worth of...

    It IS their fault for taking it wrong. But it's HIS fault for refusing to stop using a move where the proper way to take it is putting your head back when tucking your head down is the correct way to take every other movie in the fucking industry.

    My two closest runs the first one got derailed after a great start when my queen was buried in my bottom two fucking cards. This most recent run I fucking crushed him, then lost to that stupid fucking hero power before I could finish him.

    Looking at the conversions for some of my favorite pokemon, psychic types will always be complete shit because attack in Go is determined by averaging regular attack and special attack, which completely ignores the fact that psychic types only ever use their special attack stat. The same is true...

    Reread the first part of what you quoted. Your actual speed doesn't matter, only whether or not you travel more than 175 meters in 60 seconds. If you travelled 170 meters per second for 1 second, then stood still for 59 seconds, you'd get credit for 170 meters. If you travelled 176 meters in 60...

    Fury cutter is strictly superior. The only time you'll ever actually use a Pinsir/Scyther in a battle is against an Exeggutor because of the double weakness to bug. Not only does Pinsir not get STAB with rock smash, fighting is weak against psychic types, so you're effectively losing 50% damage...

    It was established with 100% certainty that the hatching speed was reduced to 10.5 kph via gps spoofing, but after some quick googling it looks like the recent patch may have reverted hatching speed back to 20 kph, which, obviously, is a pretty dramatic change. Looks like I'll be hopping back on...

    Good on Bret. He has more reason than just about any other (still alive) retired wrestler to be speaking out about this sort of thing considering how Goldberg's repeated botches ended his career early.

    Aside from looking like a fucking moron, you'd need a wide enough running lane that your zigzags would be long enough to bring your linear distance traveled down below 175 meters per minute.

    Since it seems like some people are still unaware of how it works, egg distance is calculated by measuring your linear distance traveled every 60 seconds. It seems to have some sort of secondary measurement that I haven't seen any solid info on, which is why you slowly accumulate travel distance...

    The same thing can happen getting an egg from pokestops. You get an egg, think wtf I had 9, then close the pokestop and bam, egg hatch. Traveling in as many long straight lines as possible dramatically increases the distance you get credit for btw.

    After thinking about it, I think I misplayed against that buccaneer. I should have just dropped barnes on curve and hoped he either didn't have doomhammer or I would draw into harrison. Perfect example of playing to not lose instead of playing to win.

    rofl just had a shaman get buccaneer from maelstrom portal, so instead of playing barnes on curve, i was forced to pain/hero power because he was going into turn 5 without overload and it was instant game over if he'd had doomhammer in hand. Almost certainly going to lose now because of the...

    Beast druid is just going to be an inferior version of zoo. You won't have the draw power of lifetap or the explosive finishing power of PO/Soulfire. Your entire gameplan revolves around getting an explosive early game advantage and hoping to ride it to victory.

    Literally worse than Hitler. So I decided not to use pgnexus anymore.

    I already said that them spending tons of cash on incubators was a possibility, but I also broke down exactly how much candy it would take to power three snorlaxes up that far which is why cheating seems far more likely. Despite Ossoi's ignorant crying to the contrary, it's super easy to cheat...

    You linked a thread with a couple people claiming they got banned for nothing but NOX use, but even more people saying NOX still works fine. You choose to ignore the fact that people who get banned are notorious for lying about what they actually did to get banned. So you're right, there's...

    Once again, not talking about NYC, or even Chicago, I'm talking about a university town of about 100k people. So not only will there be far fewer Snorlax spawns compared to a similar size area in NYC, it also has to spawn close enough for you to get to it in time while being free to actually go...

    So I wonder if/when they plan to add TMs/HMs to the game. Could fix a high IV pokemon that got a sub-optimal tap/charge attack, squeeze a tiny bit more power out of an exeggutor by ditching headbutt for psycho cut, or stick blizzard on a jynx so it actually has a good ice-type charge move.
