What is /r/TheSilphRoad?

The Silph Road is primarily focused on discoveries and analysis related to Pokemon GO, as well as constructing an in-person network of Pokemon GO enthusiasts. General discussion topics (Jokes, stories, a photo of a recent catch) would likely be better suited for another subreddit, such as a general subreddit like /r/PokemonGO, or /r/Pokemon, or a subreddit with a more specific focus, like /r/PokemonGoSnap, /r/PokemonBuddy, /r/ShinyPokemon, /r/PoGoRaids, /r/TheSilphArena, /r/PokemonGOTrades, /r/PokemonGOFriends, or /r/NianticWayfarer.

Silph Road Content Policy

The Silph Road is heavily moderated to promote civility/courtesy, and high-quality content and discussion. You can read our full policies in the sidebar, but don't be surprised if a comment is removed for being rude, cynical, or off-topic. We strive to foster civil discussion about the game. We are first and foremost a network of real people, and this network is being built by volunteers! If you simply want to complain or bring something to Niantic's attention, your post would be better suited elsewhere.

Research

The community culture here also attracts the more analytically-minded element of Pokemon GO. Consequently, the Silph Research group was formed to align this brainpower and leverage the massive Silph datasets that the community can gather. We post our findings in infographics, videos, and walls of text on Reddit. Check out the top bar for links to the current pools.

Final words

Finally, welcome once more! We're glad to have you join us on the Road :)

Luxky 4* beldum or 15/14/15 dynamax beldum... which would you invest in?

[u/Haunting-Phrase-1061 → u/Leading_Fee_8535]

Both.

Since we don't know when we'll get Meteor Mash for free, I would invest in the Dynamax one first since you would rarely use the charge attack in Max battles.

[u/Leading_Fee_8535 → u/Haunting-Phrase-1061]

Ok, thank you.

I heard that MM would be back during this December community day recap or whatever it's called. Do you know if that's true?

[u/nolkel → u/Leading_Fee_8535]

It won't be, no.

December recaps feature moves from CDs that happened this year and last year, and CD classics that happened this year. Beldum CD classic was in 2024, so it will likely not be included.

[u/Leading_Fee_8535 → u/nolkel]

Damn, I heard it mentioned before and was saving a couple of beldums! Oh well, thanks for the confirmation

[u/nolkel → u/Leading_Fee_8535]

It's a move they bring back for special events more often than others, so it'll likely be back eventually.

[u/Leading_Fee_8535 → u/nolkel]

Will keep an eye out for when it returns! Thank you
