This can't go on daily....please help

I fought myself 3 times and the leader once today. I got 3000 dust again, for the 5th day in a row. My bag is not full.

In these 3 days i began to completely lose my shit at the end of every 4 battles i made. It's like all of my emotions run out of control, especially the anger and despair within. I did not sleep for the whole night yesterday. Today i had the same thing and i basically fell into such a despair that i basically cannot talk.

I broke my PC chair and almost broke my TV (I didn't) out of extreme, uncontrollable anger. If this is my daily occurence and fate i would probably break myself as well.

I can imagine myself not getting a single stone for 6 months in a row and it cannot go on like this. There NEEDS to be a Christmas quest giving away the stones.

Maybe you should get help with your anger issues. You will get them. In a week you will rather have the dust.

In a week? I get that it's an exaggeration but that's a pretty extreme exaggeration. You need 11 just for the dex entries and then 11 more for the gender entries.

Yes, the problem with shortage of Sinnoh Stones is over. On average you’re going to get 3.7 stones per week (28 battles with roughly 1/8 to get a stone per fight + 1/5 for research breakthrough).
Some will of course stay below average for a while but Sinnoh Stones have become just like any other item. I’ve gotten 5 and still have 3 to use.

I have been familiar with online (gaming) communities for about 15 years now. Every now and then some troll-like person shows up similar to your character.

I've always been wondering why would someone waste their precious time on writing stuff like this. Do you know?

P.S. I'm also on 0 stones

There is a term for it. "Attention whore"

I genuinely hope you are exaggerating or trolling at this point, just to see how people react to your post.

Is it disappointing when you don't get a stone multiple days in a row? Sure. I've also received zero stones, and I know people who have picked up 6+ from battle rewards. They aren't going anywhere though, so every day we get 4 more chances. Eventually, the streak of bad luck will end.

The levels of rage and despair that you allude to in your post, however, are troubling if they are genuine. They're on the level of how people might react if they found out they have cancer, or discovered their partner is cheating on them, or they're struggling to get out of crippling financial debt. These are not the case here though. No game should bring you to the point where you're losing sleep and destroying your own personal property. Over a Sinnoh Stone, no less.

To be clear, I'm not poking fun at you or trolling you. I sincerely hope you take this opportunity to seek help for yourself and consider seeing a therapist. If this game causes you to react this severely, then I imagine other areas of your life are affected similarly as well. That isn't a healthy or sustainable way to live. I wish you well, and hope you can find avenues to help you better manage your emotions.

I've seen some people do crazy shit over video games, especially fighting ones. There's like a 95% chance this is all a ruse but there's also a 5% chance Mr-ex actually did end up breaking his PC over it.

Yes, trust me these are my genuine feelings.

Again i didn't get the stone today and i'm feeling like i'm breaking now.

If this is all genuine then you need to seek a therapist or something. I'm not saying that to belittle you or express foul intentions. A freemium mobile game isn't worth the outrage.

On the topic of the stone itself, you'll eventually hit the 1/8th odds equilibrium that you can't see in the span of a week. Maybe you strike out this week, only get a couple next, then the third week you get like 10 or something. RNG is fickle like that; when you strike out it sucks but when it's in your favor it feels tremendous. Yesterday during a trade session I got four lucky trades back to back. I've had other, longer, trade sessions where I've gotten maybe one lucky. During Bulbasaur community day I caught six shinies to my fiancee's zero. It's random.

If RNG not working in your favor is causing you to react physically and violently you need to put the game down for a while and seek professional help.

Well, zero stones here too. They'll come when they come.

You could print one or a few and play make-believe with them on your dog and such...

Please, get some help, maybe see a therapist and take a break from GO, for everyone one here's sake.

TBH, i'd take the dust over the stone

I got 5 Sinnoh stone and I'm not even trying.

Honestly there is really no immediate need for any of the CURRENT sinnoh evolution, most of the available pokemon are just as strong if not stronger.

The only reall exceptions are Rhyperior (only beaten by legendary groudon and unreleased and likely very rare, Garchomp) and being almost identical in preformance as legacy tyrantiar, beign a fantastic budget option without the drawbacks most budget options have.

Weavile, even if mamoswine's a better ice attacker, it out DPS's tyrantiar, however Tyrantiar does substantially out TDO

Electivire, better electric DPS than raikou, enough said.

All three also do match current legendary raids (though that will change soon), but agree its not like they are the only options of their type, so there doesnt need to be a rush to get 6 of every sinnoh line ASAP

You can't really "try" for them. Either you do the fights and roll the dice for dust or stones, or you don't.

I think this guy watched this episode in south park and was very very inspired.

The odds are pretty extreme I guess. Some of my friends still don't have one after loads of battling, and one already got 2 FROM A SINGLE DAY.

I've done all the battles/training and I've gotten just 1. I've used 7 CTMs trying to get Dragon Claw on a Blast Burn Charizard, that is almost humorous though.

For a few days, I thought you were getting better, but this...

Can I join the Zero Sinnoh Stone Club?

I told you last time. Niantic knows it's you, and is messing with you. Try posting something here that's all sunshine and flowers, maybe they will get bored with not giving you Sinnoh Stones, ....
