The Best Level 13 Trainer
Answers
Alt account could help you kick out pokemon for the 50 coins if you are the dominant team and hold multiple gyms without many challengers.
Also useful for 'dual wield' solos of Tyranitar, absol etc. However, getting the resources to dual wield tyranitar is already a massive pain, nevermind other challenges like Aggron (WB)
Don't really need it for high turnover areas if you are only going for the 50 coins purpose.
Wait a second. So the community on this site is "ok" with this now?
I don't post allot on here and just lurk but this post struck me!
If I recall there was huge outrage on this site when folks find out other trainers were catching pokemon by using IV scanners claiming it was against the TOS. Same thing when players were using multiple devices to power up pokemon to level 40 to work around the bug that was in the game since launch, there was massive outrage saying it was cheating and against the TOS.
But here we have a trainer who created an alternate account that can be used to:
- take down rival gyms along with their main account.
- defeat golden razzberry defending of rival teams
- increase golden razzberry defending if the account is the same team as their main.
- can be used to kick themselves out of gyms to get their 50 coins if the account was created under a rival team
- can be used to shave out teammates out of gyms to put their own defender in
- reduce chances of legitimate players who are high level getting EX raid passes which is evident by doing 6 raids and getting the EX pass
As a level 40 player who raids at sponsored stops daily and never received an EX pass I can clearly say anyone who is ok with alt accounts should not have an issue with anyone using any other ways that gives that player an advantage such as IV scanners.
Yup. I have an old phone that works if there's WiFi.
I made this account to show people how ridiculous the raiding system is over the catching system. Here is an account that hasn't caught 40 Pokemon yet but already has Pokemon well above 2,000 CP and one even over 2,800 CP (Raid bosses are caught at their level, not the Trainer's max level), and already has an EX-Pass for one of the strongest, most exclusive 'mons in the game.
An EX invite in your city is different from an EX in my city. Saturated here. People here are grasping for confirmations for tomorrow's round. I'm not going, I have 7 Mewtwo already...130pm Monday afternoon...sorry, nope. If you actually show up then you deserve the pass, if not, then who cares anyway
I don't think it's OK, but it's a slippery slope. I have my kids' phones sometimes and may use them to help me in raids I can't solo (but they're legit, real accounts... hers rival 25, his my team 29). The city Discord that allows me to do t5 raids uses scanners... I don't drive there (25 miles) to chase high IV rares, but the raid scanner has been useful.
In Rome, do as the Romans do....
I have a 39 and two 34s, one is my wife's, she started playing 2 days before I did, got to level 5 before I did and she picked our color. The other I started for my son September 2016 bc he is 3. Something I'll teach him more about when he is five or six. He is kinda smart and he can catch and throw good straight balls already, tries curves but hits it rarely. At home he clicks on nearby gyms and he engages the characters and taps, taps, taps just like every 30mil XP player also does.
I can sometimes do Rayquaza with those, it is often a challenge. Not impossible, but similar difficulty to when we all first started to solo Machamp (hoping for specific Boss moves).
Not having abundant revives is an added extreme obstacle, I feel Niantic has considered it and has addressed it. Especially with days like Dratini day, no 2nd or 3rd account could significantly benefit from that.
I'm always trying to gauge if I have enough health to try again, when I lose...it takes about 3 days to get back to where I was before the failure. More than a matter of just waiting for chatting help, often at 630 to 730 am...there is no help around the corner.
The game isn't scaled in an intricate enough manner, there are no longer any true solo raiding goals. Really not any duo goals either.
