Glad it isn't temporary, heard they are pretty powerful
i hate whoever’s shiny absol is in this gym
it’s managed to stay alive on 200cp for days and is keeping everyone else’s pokemon there
i’m literally considering hiring my team valor friend a few streets away to assassinate it just to free my metagross
The dates for next season's Community Days have been announced.
🗓️ Sunday, June 9, 2024
🗓️ Saturday, June 22, 2024 (Community Day Classic)
🗓️ Sunday, July 21, 2024
🗓️ Saturday, August 31, 2024
Track Events: https://t.co/VhdMGLw32A
The dates for additional in-game
I really hope they’re good
I don't. I hope they're awful.
I hope they’re completely neutral
do it😂😂
hiring a pokémon go hitman 😭
Every community day I hope venipede makes it.
I've seen people get them too when sunny. Including myself
But hey. Free trade material
Yeah it stops decaying in cp after time. And gyms are based off who put stuff in it first
I'm assuming it ran
Dw. They're incredibly hard to catch. You'll get another soon
Yes it ran
Okay who can help me with a strategy to beat Giovanni? I’m just a casual player but I’m trying to get through all these research quests that have popped up since starting playing again but I can’t fkn beat him. I can maybe KO his Persian, but after that I’m toast
what team are you struggling against? i know his kingdra was really hard for me
I think I used my mewtwo on kingdra to defeat him
Do you have a high IV machamp? That's normally good to open with if you don't own a lucario
i used melmetal
The last time I fought him it was Persian, Garchomp and I assume Groudon since I don’t think the third one changes?
No 🥲 my best fighting type is a Heracross lol
the third one changes, i think just left often than the others.
I’m going to grind the incense day a ton tbh
I wouldn’t know, I’ve never gotten that far 
The first is locked at persian
The middle is one of 3 options
The third is a fixed legendary
Yeah isn’t that good?
Thumbnail wrong
Oh. I assumed that was just their base thumbnail right now
Like in the app store
That's funny though
I think that for next season
Maybe a tease
Someone just got fired at pokemon go

Honestly it could be lol
@fervent pewter was ur stakataka decent or? Mine was absolute shite 
I’m not going to raid either of them until go fest, because then they’re available shiny
No like. They won't be in raids for gofest
yoo that was you, legend 
mine was 14 13 14 heh
but my one and done!
i barely got in too like 10 seconds left
i got you for blacephalon if ya need
They still have one more raid they didn’t reveal for irl go fest
Just give me a heads up before you inv but id like to join one
I mean yeah, but banking on these being in gofest and not doing it because of thst just seeks mega risky
Yea ik, imma just use free raid pass hoping for a great iv one
Istill have to find someone for staka
Pokemon Go Infinite Fusion is real
The grind for pikalibre is real lol
Good luck, that's quite the trophy.
Just started a week or so ago 🤞
OH
DAMN
That’s kinda stupid, they’re still ultra beasts
Theyre not.confirmed currently. But apparently there's still a raid unannounced
Yeah, no information to tell us they'll be in go fest yet. So they technically could be, but we have no reason to believe they will be
I'm just catching one of each for the dex
And moving on
Does anyone have any tips for taking on Giovani for the first time? His Pokémon is around 4000cp and his ace is a 11700 Groudon. I feel stuck, my strongest Pokémon is in the 3000’s
His lead is still Persian, right? Do you have a Lucario? Perhaps a Melmetal?
Neither actually
What's your strongest fighter?
Ok. That's a puzzle, hah. Aggron should take out Persian if it's using Scratch, but none of your 9 can really take on Groudon
The only good thing is that ryhdon has water moves
But I don’t have enough candy to lvl him. I feel like I’ve trapped myself lol
Dragonite can if Groudon has Mud Shot as its fast move, but Dragon Tail will wreck it
I’ll challenge again to see if I can figure out the moves
Thanks a lot man
Actually nvm lol Giovanni is gone so problem solved
If you have access to a Meltan box (through sending a Pokemon to Home or Let's Go), try getting a Melmetal. It's a great resource for Rocket battles. Not the fastest, but tanky and spammy
You'll get another try in 6 hours 
Or whenever 00/06/12/18 o'clock is for you
Ok he came back just didn’t load that fast. (Persian has scratch, kingdra has surf, groudon no clue I can’t make it that far)
The new ultra beast shinny locked ?
you play pvp?
wish you luck brother its worth the grind!
if you have any questions feel free to hmu
They were discussing rocket battles
his pfp is a pvp pose
Oh ok mb
no worries brotha you good
Yep! Some GBL and team formats
oh no way you were a chicago star lol
small world
so you know burnobus 😦
i played on Final Boss
- kkpvp
damn sorry man. he was so awesome
He really was. Makes me smile to find more people he reached!
Thank you! And yes!!
dude4life has given 1 Gen Rep to rvptxr
This is how far I have gone. Using little cup is really hard. My main team is raichu anailape and swampert. Cause they are perfect iv. I have not played in years, so pretty behind.
we all started somewhere 🫡
i suggest checking out pvpoke + and some youtube videos that explain some more than basic strategy / ivs etc
there's lots of good budget mons now too which dont require a lot of resources
So i was active in 2016, briefly in 2018 and recently came back
My box
I'm very proud of Big Booty. Back then there wasn't a profanity check for mons names 
if you find someone to trade with they will be guaranteed lucky 
I have 81 still from 2016 and 169 from 2019. Unfortunately there is a cap on the %
Sounds like me
its a flat cap of 10 but boosted odds after that
I have lots from 2016
What's that?
Never traded tbh
Trades in Pokémon GO reroll the IVs. The floor is based on friendship level. Trading with a new friend can be as low as a 1 - 1 - 1. Trading with a best friend can be as low as a 5 - 5 - 5. Trades can be "lucky". A lucky trade has a floor of 12 in each stat, and the lucky Pokémon cost half the stardust to power up.
A trade has a chance to go lucky of about 5%! + 5% per year of age of either Pokémon involved. However, there are special circumstances that override that check, such as trading Pokémon from the first few months of the game.

Hey does anyone know/ can anyone explain routes to me? I have missions where I have the meet the new professor at the end or a route, but it says I don’t have any routes nearby. I don’t understand how it works
Routes are player generated paths between two points of interest in the game (stops or gyms). The path has to be at least a certain distance but can loop around (a path can circle a pond and start and stop on the same pokéstop). During the path you will usually get one or two extra spawns that pull more heavily from local regionals, and you may encounter a glowing dot on the map that will reward you with Zygard cells, used for changing your Zygarde's form. At the end of your first route each day you can interact with Mateo and exchange gifts with a random other trainer.
If there are no routes near you then you will either need to go to a place with more gyms and stops, or record and submit new routes.
Ok thank you for the help!
If there's a place you're going to frequently (work, school, store), making a route from home to that place is a great way to do routes as you'd be traveling there anyway.
I’m gonna try and figure out how to make a route
To make one. All you need to do is find a starting pokestop/gym and an ending pokestop/gym. I believe it also must be 500m long and he like level 38 or something
And a description/route name that fits what the route is
Make sure to add keywords because it may just get put in a giant list of waiting to be accepted. I've had this before. Someone had a route still waiting from last July to be submitted, but when I suggested a change in the name, it was approved at the end of last month
I’m lvl 31 but I’ll keep it in mind for the future. Thank you everyone for being so helpful :))
lmaooooo was this when it was just released and cap was broken or smth
yep pretty much lol
Same as sub level 8 Shadow Pokemon!
Yeah I have some of those
Wait what's exactly wrong with it? I've never got a lucky pokemon before so know nothing about them
Minimum IV floor is 12/12/12
While that's a 10/10/14
pogo hasn’t been counting my steps lately
i’ve walked well over 12km in the last week, but my egg still says 8.9km
have you checked to see if adventure sync is still on?
i never turned it off, so i assumed it is, how do i check?
It turns it off sometimes idk why
You might wanna check it every once in a while if it is turned off
thanks!!
bubblesys has given 1 Gen Rep to awxkened
Was it off?
yep, no clue why 
lol
Check it once a week maybe or if you notice your stuff ain’t counting
I hate when it turns it off
messing me up 
I barely play anymore so I don’t even check it anymore
Hi I’m wondering what are the odds of a legendary spawning in the wild? I’ve been playing for a while now, and it just spawned for me for the first time a couple minutes ago
Depends on the legendary. Was it a galarian bird from the daily adventure incense, or one of the lake trio? (Azelf, uxie, and mesprit)
Legends only spawn in the wild rarely, like if you have the daily incense you have a rare chance of getting one of the legendary Galar birds, or one of the lake trio extremely rarely from pokéstops by water
Sorry for the late reply, but it was a galar bird from the incense
Nobody really knows those odds, but it can only spawn during the daily incense and seems to be a rare spawn
Also the catch rate is the lowest in the game and the flee rate is the highest in the game
So don't feel bad about not catching
So they haven’t change that ugly ass face yet
The new avatars? I'm like 99.9% sure they won't revert it. We can hope they will fix the issues, but if you're hoping they undo the changes or make them more like the old ones...I feel like you're gonna be disappointed indefinitely
it turns off if you log out and log back in !!
i never logged myself out but the app did randomly log me out one day, so that makes sense
Yeah I looked up yeah never changed but I am glad they kick out that guy responsible for this
Except not only did Niantic sign off on the changes many times before being released, but we don't actually know which people were fired or why. The company Ninatic worked with to make this feature did mass layoffs, but there's no evidence or reason to believe that it had anything to do with this feature they made for niantic. Many companies do layoffs at this time of year, usually due to budgeting
So there's no reason to believe that will have any effect on anything going forward
But if you just want people to be punished, even then we don't know who exactly was fired, and we know for sure it wasn't everyone involved. Nobody at niantic involved in this update was fired, especially not senior staff who made these calls

So there's no reason to believe they will use this as an opportunity to change or do better AND we have no reason to believe anyone at niantic is seeing any consequences for this
bro went on a whole rant 💀
i ain’t reading all at
Imagine if you had to read a book
i will read a book but only for school lol
Do we need to be walking to get the Ferroseed when an incense is active?
also what’s the increased shiny rate set to during the event?
I read 1250 page books, but if a discord message is over a paragraph long then I’m not reading it
No, but a LOT more spawn if you are
I walked with incense active, in a place filled with pokestops, all of them lured up, for over 2 hours without a break. And I didn’t get a shiny the ENTIRE TIME, until the end. And guess what shiny I got? A LICKITUNG
I am being slowly driven to the brink of insanity
Oh my God I underestimated how good shadow quagsire is in great league
I went 5 for 5 twice using it today that thing is monstrous
My friend and I both got 1 shiny ferroseed rest of event was a bust
Some beldum Xl candy and duod some suicunes ig wasn't bad, pretty meh tho imo
You had better luck than me
I really wanted a shiny ferroseed
Or any of the shinies from the incense spawns
They were all so good 😭😭😭
YESSIR
So… the mega raquaza on here WASNT a coincidence…
I’d love to get another meteorite or two
Lol I didn't mean to. I was just saying that there's no reason to expect any sort of corporate blowback from the avatar update, especially not this soon or from another company 
yay rayquaza, I even just got a 15 raid pass bundle with my saved up coins
mfw not many people play where I live and raids are just an annoyance blocking gyms constantly and noone is capable of completing the raids anyways
Now I remember why I quit years ago 👌
I need help in pokemon go
what kind of help
Goomy is the featured Community Day Pokémon for June!
The Soft Tissue Pokémon was teased on social media to be oozing in the spotlight. Stay tuned for updates on the bonus and the featured attack!
Full Details: https://t.co/UxgOwtlGmV
Everyone knew it would be coming
Is there a way to find out all upcoming community days?
No they don't announce them all at once
Only the dates. They don't announce the pokemon much in advance
Well that’s better than nothing!
These are the dates until September
So far all we know for sure is next one is goomy
i love GOOBY so happy we gonna get its comday this year
Oo this will help with both evolving my Poipole and getting Goodra for my Kalos dex
Oh yeah poipole
Yay now everyone will get to experience the cute goodra
I have one shiny goomy already, but I like the whole goodra line, so I'm looking forward to this
Also goodra is amazing in great and master league (top 30+ in both) and still not bad in ultra league (top 50+)
So getting a ton of goodra candy is also nice
Also if anyone hasn't finished their poipole evolution yet, this is an easy way
Just all around a good com day, especially compared to bounsweet
Also just found out:
https://x.com/LeekDuck/status/1795207428671226289?s=19
Cyndaquil returns during June’s Community Day Classic on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Alongside the Fire Mouse Pokémon will be a slew of bonuses. Cyndaquil evolved to Typhlosion will know the Charged Attack Blast Burn.
Full Details: https://t.co/kNVW6Uxs81
So we know the one after goomy now too
And typhlosion isn't too shabby either
Bet they’re cooking with these comm days
Cyndaquil for classic not bad
Goober
Will be good to get XLs for when Hisuian Goodra enters the field
We are getting some good events.
Goomy day is on my day off so I will grab everyone one of them as I can
https://twitter.com/g47ix/status/1795386165287358643?s=46&t=iG0xFLhysjMe3DesmHFoEA yayyyy shiny emolga

Anyone able to find any Druddigton
I only see two active crinkle dragon raids in town right now on Campfire, but a lot of tier 3 eggs cooking.
How do campfire works?
I will literally never have a chance at a legendary raid given I don't live near a big city
Pretty frustrating
Campfire is Niantic's standalone map and chat client. You can join local communities, and look at the map of gyms and routes
I'm 40km from Milan that's my best bet I guess
The host a raid function doesn't have the user base it needs to be as useful as it could be, but other apps like PokeRaid or Pokegenie can be good for finding people to invite to a raid you find which can easily get you a lobby of 6 for a raid (as long as it's popular enough for people to raid).
You're kinda screwed for ex or shadow raids though unless you live in a very populated area since those don't allow remote raids
Is a 3 star shadow snorlax worth building?
Shadow Snorlax had some Master League PvP use, but isn't something you would use in raids.
A 3* would not be ideal for Great League or Ultra League.
Komala boosted too I think
No

Mega ray ray as elite raids? Man…
is Rayquaza the most likely to be giovanni's capture
for next season
or would it be necrozma
real
pogo should have an event where you can encounter more than 1 pokemon at a time like in b&w i think it was
That sounds like terrible gameplay
That really is stupid, especially when they're making mega rayquaza a mascot of this season alongside necrozma
And it's also one of the best normal mons AND best megas in the game
And one of the most beloved legendaries
And by far the best flying mon

Real 💀💀💀
ite an easy duo
Me who sucks at the game:
Mega ray is an easy duo? Fuck that
Someone with 5 lvl 50 shadow mamoswines managed a duo with 10s left lol
Yeah, if you don't have 4 other people minimum, you shouldn't even be planning on getting a single rayquaza this season
Tbh
It’s such a hard raid boss I hate mega legendary raids
The primals are easy because they come during raid days so you can get a ton of people
But latios and Latias…
I lost like 3 remote raid passes because of failed raids
And since mega ray is in ELITE raids…
It’s going to be complete shit to get
Yeah, not only do they not allow remotes, but they are so much rarer than normal raids and only spawn at ex gyms and only once per day max per gym. It's really such a weird system. Like you'd think if they made them in person only, they would be more common to find or spawn more often to make up for it and encourage more participation...
At this point I just assume elite raids are a bust and wait for the next time that mon comes back
They spawn 24 hrs before hand
So you technically could map it our before hand to plan the route
I know.
Map it out with 4+ other people in under 24 hours?
Lol
You can
Sure, but it's not easy or likely
Not that hard just open campfire to see which one to raid first then on to next one
That's obviously not the hard part
You talking about gathering the people?
Of course
Then there no way around that
Unless you transportation to your nearest local community or city
Like I said, it's not feasible for most players. That's the problem. Elite raids have always been stupid. Remote raids are the only reason most people can do legendary raids at all
POGO was design to communicate together and gather if COVID never happen there would be no remote anyway
Most people wouldn't be playing in 2024 if remote raids didn't exist
It's not 2016 anymore
I think unable to remote it isn’t the way to blame for in person raiding only
It shouldn't be the only option, is the main issue
Nobody said remotes have to be optimal or anything, but making things exclusive to irl luck/spawn point is worse than a gacha game
Like I said, personally it just means it's content I won't ever be able to participate in, but you don't see me quitting or anything. Im just saying it's stupid because it was brought up again and my opinion hasn't changed
I mean it your choice if you want to raid it or not
It's really not. Some people don't have the option at all
It's not as simple as choosing to do it
But I really don't see the point in arguing this tbh. It's a pretty simple thing
I really don’t want to but saying it impossible is just narrow thinking
For some people it basically is
This is a situation where some people don't have an option. Not everyone can organize with a group of people and drive an hour with less than 24 hours notice just for 10 minutes of gameplay. It's not financially or logistically possible for a lot of people. Not everyone lives in nyc. It's not as simple as making a choice for most people.
On the bright side those people probably win every showcase to get PhD pika faster lmao
Ftr I also think elite raids like hoopa were stupid where ya need 10 people, but for like eleki eh that's not too bad, few people is alright
True lmao
How many raids do you have to do to get enough energy to mega evolve a rayquaza? I already have a meteorite, but back when rayquaza was released I was nooby and didn’t get any
Depends on how fast it dies
2-3 I think
Probably 2-3 but ray will know dragon ascend
That the good part
I think it gives the same as primal raids so like 80-90ish energy per raid but costs 400 to mega
Main issue is the meteorites tho, once you have enough energy for 1 mega you can just walk with it for more
Yeah, I wonder how common of a drop they’ll make the meteorite or if they’ll drop a research that has a requirement of “beat one Mega Rayquaza Raid.” Or something to that affect
that would be hilarious after they made it an elite raid. People would be so mad
Wouldn’t be a great look, but definitely could see/wouldn’t put it past Niantic to do that
I think ray will come with dragon ascent so it can automatically mega
I haven’t seen word on that, but hey, that’d be easier
oh for sure, I wouldn't even say it's unlikely. At this point the bar is pretty low for Niantic

There’s something slimy in the shade! 💧
Goomy, the Soft Tissue Pokémon, will be sliding throughout #PokemonGOCommunityDay on June 9 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
No time to be timid! Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon, will be the scorching star of #PokemonGOCommunityDay Classic on June 22 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. 🔥🔥🔥

What's their fascination with useless CD moves lately
thunder punch is cool 😭
Hey, Blast Burn isn’t—oh thunder punch…
Got me there
funny enough typhlosion is getting thunder punch too lol
At least then it can hit water types
Nothing screams a threat to goodra like water and flying types
Honestly I’m probably going to cycle goodra in gl. It patches a ton of my weaknesses
altaria smh fr
yeah great thing thunderpunch shores up that match up (clicks dragon move) 
Helps against azu till you eat a play rough or ice beam ig lol
lets gooooo
it’s not complete trash against meta (never gonna be used ever)
It sure is a move fr
Just noticed the slakoth event runs through goomy community day and they both have 2x candy so I wonder if that stacks.
oh yea it just happens to flip one of the strongest mons in the meta after cd 
I feel like the emphasis on raids might ruin the whole walking around checking hourly spawns thing tho
While I'm excited for new stuff to grab, it seems like it'll be a mess of a weekend to me
my biggest regret of in person go fest was not doing more raids
i was too focus on park spawns
I might actually play roggenrola because I need candy to evolve my Hundo
Morelull with extra dust is 💯
I don't care mutch for morelull, but extra dust is always welcome
Shiny is nice
so the game glitched and how did i get an excellent throw?
Free xp
How much dust does morelull normally give?
It's base 500 w/o modifiers iirc
The slow zoom in for Caterpie's weird, seems like a weird animation but only happens with Caterpie from what I can see. Keeps making me think they're XXS
ohh nice gotta remember to play that day
You can do it!!
So close
Just start yeeting poffins lmao
I've been doing that and I'm still not close lol
anyone knkw if shadow raids are still bugged
i feel like they are but cant remember
Wdym bugged
Well now to grind shadow raids-
wish I could say the same
kecleon is going to be hell though
Who’d you pick for your best buddies?
do you guys know the best way to get vivillon postcards? is the friend code sending channel here pretty good at getting hits?
Yeah, it is. Say the one you can offer and the ones you need and people are pretty good about adding you. Also keep an eye out for other people who mention they have one you need
thank you!

the eggs gonna end up scrambled
How da hell
Lmao
If you insist
Got a good variety!
who was #10
Risu
I have bad memories when it comes to that name 
hahah i get that
I had a gastrodon sweep 4 of volos mons. Weak to ice beam
gastrodon almost died to roserade though lol
Nice. I had no strategy lol. My main problem was the giratina, and my idiot brain decided to put all my grit stuff into palkia and dialga’s ATTACK STAT to try and power up their SPACIAL REND AND ROAR OF TIME. I had no idea what that weird “sp. attack” was at the time
tbh I wasn’t planning to use gastrodon it just so happened to be a shiny one in my travels (well it was a shiny shellos at first)
lol I also randomly caught a shiny shellos when I was playing
That’s why I love shiny hunting in that game
It easy and simple and just better
But also no apriballs 
@fervent pewter so you’re really advanced in PvP, so can you analyze my gl team?
Clodsire (fast: poison shot. Charged: sludge bomb and mega horn)
Golispod (fast: shadow claw. Charged: liquidation and x scissor)
Sandslash (fast: sand attack. Charged: scorching sands and rock tomb)
you want to try and limit your weakness / not have a lot of overlap
for example, skarmory is one of the most popular pokemon and beats all 3 pokemon
you not going to be able to cover everything of course, and you better off playing with not meta pokemon than not at all! best to focus on the mechanics of the game now, the pokemon you use def matter but you will learn as you go
like when you think you finally figured out the perfect team and then queue into something that beats all 3😂
Legendaries can be caught at very low levels in pokemon go? I don’t play it but I’m on home looking for a Giratina for trade and I see a lot of them level 20 and under.
Raid 20/25 (weather boost)
Research 15
Gbl 20
Wild for events and stuff can be anything but gira hasn't been wild
Just look for the pogo stamp that'll be safe
yep we've had a few wild legend spawns so they can be pretty low level
tina would be lvl 15-20 likely yea
Lvl 1 legendary birds 
NO A MOLTRES SPAWNED ON MY DAILY WHILE I WAS ON THE BUS, BUT I WAS CATCHING SOMETHING ELSE SO WHEN I SAW IT IT IMMEDIATELY DESPAWNED 
Woohoo lvl 43
If it makes you feel any better, it's likely the same outcome as if you encountered it 
I feel like I'd have a better chance catching it if I didn't click on it lol
Congrats. Now gl for 44 lol
Is that one with gbl?
Yep lol
I haven't done it and in like 5m over the requirement
Just battle with your alt account
I don't have an alt/play on an alternate device
Good point lmao
Yo can anyone trade me some mons I need for my let’s go dex
I’m tryna shiny hunt mewtwo and don’t have the let’s go eevee exclusives so since no one plays those games anymore I was hoping to transfer them from POGO
We CANT trade to you in pogo. 100 meter trade limit 
He meant let go but that can’t either I think
You need to pair local too for let gos game
Well he said he was hoping to transfer them from pogo so idk
You can transfer from pogo to let go game
Oh lmao
I mean I'm still confused lol
said lgpe is dead but can't trade in pogo so that kills both options
guess they could do home trades for stuff that hasn't left lgpe fully yet
You can transfer from POGO to home and trade it that way iirc
Woo new egg event
Oh nice, randomly found my first Frigiblax
I think it's just a random uncommon spawn everywhere tbh. I find one every so often randomly
Kinda like ditto, but easier to spot
Haven't really seen much of any since it's release into the game
Dragon types always are difficult for me, why my dragon type medal is my lowest one
we stan frigibaz
Get ready for Goomy com day this weekend
That I'm going to use to definitely evolve Poipole
I’m thinking about opening another mystery box soon
To try and get a better melmetal
Same
I've got Turtnator, I've got two charcadets, but 0 Larvesta
Stupid event. Like wow, it’s shiny is debuting? You’d better hatch 500 eggs for a 1/500 chance of it being shiny!
No ones actually getting it
If Charcadet, Turtnator and Larvesta are going to be the only 3 Pokémon in 10K eggs the chances of getting Larvesta at least seems best there
Like I at least would just want the Pokémon so I can be one step closer to having my Unova dex complete
I think I've hatched 2 larvestas it's a ridiculous shiny release lol
More Larvesta candy would be nice but I’m not banking on a shiny one
I’m actually having a hard time getting Charcadet
Im debating to go to go fest madrid but damn the hotels are expensive at this point 
anyone have extra alakazam, machamp, bellsprout, pinsir, or golem i can have?
i want to try and complete my dex in lets go pikachu/eevee
Try #trading_pokemon_home . GO trades are local only so this is not a trade channel.
@unique grotto i would've if i had someone to help for pokemon lets go
Unless you want to swing by my local park for the Community Day this Sunday there isn't much we can do for you here.
idk how i could do that
Exactly. You can’t trade with someone you don’t know irl in pogo.
How do you “play with your buddy”? Nothing I’m doing is counting for my quests. I’m feeding it, I’m tapping on it in AR mode, and nothings working.
turn these off + rub the pokemon on screen a bunch
spin little circles on it
Ok thanks
lmk if that works
It's weird cuz it's usually rubbing the middle of the screen not where the buddy is
So some flying pokemon just very strange lol
turning off the AR stuff is really good advice tbh. If you have big pokemon or aren't in a place where you can "place" a pokemon down in open space, its really helpful
Ftr it's very annoying that it doesn't turn off AR for pokemon that aren't your buddy
Don't need to do that very often but still
My AR has been off since 2016
The AR functionality can be fun.
Wow that actually looks cool
There's a water feature at the park that I've been wanting to do a Sunglasses Blastoise, Sunglasses Squirtle, and Squirtle Visor Pikachu picture at, but given that the heat index is pushing 100 it's been filled with children so I'll wait for my opportunity.
Wow that event actually looks really good
I’m hyped for this months events
Go fest season is here
Will you think Eevee community day will come back?
Hopefully
It's happened twice already. So I wouldn't want it to happen for a 3rd
Also it's the only community day that has run twice, not including classics
Charmander got two non-classics. Once for dragon breath and once for blast burn.
ty
I missed it...
I need it...
I didn't even reach it...
I want a shiny eevee with my ot on pogo soo bad
I will wait for it until my death
Looking for someone to trade me a 3 star drowzee
Gonna have to look on your local discord instead
stats also don't persist through trades
A) the trade limit is 100 meters
B) stats are randomized after trades
Okay thanks
I'm hoping Niantic will make it back I'm sure they will, because come on for the new players I really want a shiny eevee with my ot soo bad
seen some people get it during the current event and it's also featured at gofest with the sun/moon crowns
why do you want a 3 star drowzee
I will wait for eevee events on GO
I don't care how long
There full odds in the wild
Full odds of shiny eevee?
Eevee is rarely on the wild ;-;
What is the most common area in the world where is eevee common?
Mfw you don't live I a city
Local discord 
You can get an eevee with cherry flowers on its head rn
Bought that just for the 4star cherry flower Umbreon 
Lucky
Really? I thought it was like that for everyone
i mean plenty of people travel to play the game almost daily 😅
Eeh I live in Switzerland and pretty far from any meaningful community
Joined some local people's telegram group chat and they seem nice people, we'll see 
I really want a shiny slakoth
been trying
Same ahah
But I’ll be happy with anything, at 99 shiny entries and just trying to get the 100th
Very nice
hop a train to geneva? 
jk im america sure its not that easy lol
So happy I got shiny lotad, I love the little no thoughts guy 
Kind of, I visit Milan sometimes, it's 60km away, one hour of train more or less
But train tickets cost a shipload here
Nice
I got a shiny mareep off my incense today
My first shiny hatch on Pogo is a Togepi
My first shiny was a hatched magby
Mine lickitung
My first one was Shinx and I think my most recent one was a Galarian Zigzagoon
Shuppet
I just got back on pogo, WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS HAVE THEY DONE WITH MY CHARACTER?!
thats not a great example tbh. Just looks like a fatter head and different sandals. A bit wider all around. I've seen a lot worse from this update. But we might as well get used to it. It doesn't seem like they have any intention of reversing it

There are definitely some improvements that it brought, but also some improvements it needs going forward
the worst aspect for me is a lot of the gbl poses clip 90% of the outfits
so no matter what you wear your avatar will poke out lol
Yeah there are some poses and styles/clothes/items that they didn't seem to test/think about and are very buggy
is there anyway to go back to the old graphics my phone hates it and is so laggy after all the plants were added :C
I don't think it's that bad overall it's just kinda pointless
and it did ruin my old design my making me bald whenever two items combine so I'm more annoyed than anything
My friend almost got a shundo goomy
So ive gotten back into pogo and was wondering how raids work? The game didnt do a good job at explaining it
Like i saw i can do one free one a day but does that count towards legendaries too
i only got one shiny cause i was at work
Good luck for today all
Hey so I see a lot of people online throw a curveball, then really quickly give the Pokémon a berry than leave, what is that all about?
we call it "quick catching"
it is to skip the wasteful frames of the catch animation/screen
@forest saffron
Alright thanks! Would it work if I berried first, then threw and left?
for sure
just berry like normal then go thru the steps
What CP should a Goomy be
To still be under 1500 after evolving all the way to Goodra?
For the mega league
lvl 15~ so about 400~ cp goomy and under will be GREAT league eligible
you want IVs that resemble 0-15-15
for the MASTER league you want the highest iv possible, 15, 15, 15, but things like 15 15 14 etc will suffice
Ahah yeah great league. Found lots of low attack goomies and wanted to evolve one for every league
Thx a lot
fieel has given 1 Gen Rep to rvptxr
A QoL question
The comm day move is T-punch yeah? 2-5pm?
How do I scan more efficiency my mons in pokegenie?
Scanning 600 Goomy one by one sounds amazing
Yes electric punch
Can evolve up until 10pm for the legacy move I think
AWesome ty
you don't even have to throw the berry unless ya really want to, just use one finger to pull the ball/berry menu open and throw the ball with another.
Then let go of the menu and the run option pops back up
they want to berry tho lol
no need?
just quickly appraise them all and pick out the few scannable ones
What you mean with "quickly appraise"?
lol well it depend how you want to do it
you can search 3* or 4* (least likely)
then you can do !3*&!4* to look for pvp ones
!3* & !4*
but you will have to swipe regardless
its pretty quick tho... otherwise would you rather screenshot every one lol
if you are on android there are other apps that layover pogo that auto appraise
I figured, i have similar filters
Favorite them all then scan those
But maybe there was another method I wasn't aware of 
0-1attack&3-4defense&3-4hp is my filter
beeg

I got 2 shinies so far
Can I send a shadow Pokémon to Home or do I need to purify it first?
Purify first
Welp, time to start walking then.
What are you trying to purify that doesn't have enough candies?
Groudon
Do you not have any rare candies?
Why would he purify groudon in the first place
Make sure to do any nearby raids
No matter how bad the ivs are you shouldn’t purify groudon
don't ask me
I’m just sending it into Home. I have another shadow Groudon with better stats. I don’t need multiples of a single Pokémon. I just wanna keep the one
@tepid oasis there's your answer
Yeah, I have some raid passes that I haven’t used in forever. Gotta start putting them to use
I still have like 60 in my bag
Damn lol
Been stacking mines for ny go fest currently at 1,560
why so many?
How does mega evolution work? Is it permanently mega or only in battle
I have a Salamance that I can evolve
we going hard nyc 😭
ill prob do 1000 raids
Its mega for 8 hours
Wait it eats up all the candy only for 8 hours?
I got latios to t3 yesterday that's the extent of my progress lol
you had it for goomy day 🔥
It costs way more than usual for the first time, and then after that you need a much smaller amount every time you mega evolve.
But you can also wait a period of time (7 days for level 0 mega) and it becomes free. The cost also drops closer and closer to 0 as it gets closer to that 7th day.
By mega evolving enough times, you rank up the mega level (up to 3) where you get more perks, including (but not limited to) the cooldown for it becoming free going all the way down to 3 days, and the cost dropping massively compared to level 0.
Also, you only really need enough candy to mega evolve the first time, because you can make a pokemon your buddy, and as long as you've mega'd that specific pokemon once before, you can get more mega energy from walking around the same way you get normal candy.
Don’t think that possible
hyperbole but itll be up there 
I’ll prob be in 300 after all 3 days
Brooklyn fellas here
albany heh
amtrak is fkin me up dawg
gotta drive to poughkeepsie and take metro n
undecided if i go saturday and stay for my park day sun or just get up early sun 
Driving down highway not too bad
Been going through up state to CT all the time
Traffic bad when there accident

I donut wanna hear it. Driving a Box Truck from Md->Jamaica can kiss my ass
GPS always wants to take me through this small ass town in CT
I have bad service while in CT only in Greenwich is there service
Than if I go outta there than boom nothing
I still have a shiny hisuian deci stuck in cos cob

taconic or what
i'm like squeeze.benz on that bih 
95
If you take 95 to fdr
You can just walk the bridge lol
ye just slightly more convienent to park at metro n than city
i did park then bryant park last year but it was kinda mid
we either gonna party bus it or just walk around idk
You can head Bryant than go uptown toward central or something
Central Park not bad either
yea just dont think we can beat driving around tho 
Might consider that too but with traffic a bit iffy
Can get more raid done if all thing goes fine
i heard just taking the bus is the meta play 😭
Never have I took mta bus in manhattan
So idk
same
my homies said its mostly pogo players anyway
but thats why i think i just gonna book a bus.
I take it in Brooklyn but I can’t name one mta bus in manhattan
cost really not bad/seat
But probably good strategy don’t have to walk plus AC in bus
I'm best Pokemon!
worst troll acc ever
you should try it and you will see ;D
there are some threats like ferrothorn but maybe you can outplay them 👀
Nice
Dm me for POGO TRADE I’ll show what I have
You can't do that. Trade distance is 100m
Ohh ya
Is this good for PvP?
you usually want the inverse I think
low attack higher other stats let's you get them to higher levels
nope
0 attack, 15hp/def
that is good for trash can 👍
Sorry guys it was a very bad joke
lol we are just used to people actually asking stuff like that 😭
hah that's fair 
like anyone want to trade
Ahahaha
I saw 2 people talking about trading a shiny legend in pogo but needed to wait a few days
My only thoughts were rip stardust ya just added each other
Irl comes after
Naah a couple days of gifts will do the job
i did a few big dust trades at gofest
not fun lol, shitty mechanic
i just wanted to give out armored mewtwos 😭
generosity is not rewarded lol
So if i get a pokeball plus+ will it constantly spin at the pokestop at my work when it refreshes
It does that with my pogo + but idk about pokeball plus+
Sorry i mean the new pogo plus+ not the joycon
I was looking at the gotchas but they seem to be mostly watches
if you gonna yse it at work environent i would go with a gotcha
the ++ is annoying af lol. not lowkey at all
gotcha is silent and sleek
And cheaper
i have the gotcha evolve, and i had a few of the og ones
The evo looks cool but id rather have it in a case than as a watch
great product
my gf uses a go++ and we cant stand it 😂
nonstop buzzing and flashing lights.
Theres one pokestop at my work but i feel like if i just have it going on auto the ehole shift ill get alot of pokemon and items
the gotcha is also automated where the go++ you have to interact
I was trying to follow a route earlier but it went into private property and was like damn
They had a big sign saying no tresspassing
I did catch alot of goomies yesterday and my first egg was a shiny
So do you need the app for the gotcha evolve or do you have access to all the setting on the watch itself?
oh it seems the nebby catch counted towards “catch a legendary pokemon” in the go tour thing
Pretty sure Meltan counts as well. Easiest legendary catch available
i dont think my friend has the meltan box unlocked
Practically everyone has access to it now, you just need to transfer a Pokemon to Pokemon Home (which is free)
umm i think you just need the app for startup
and you might not even need it tbh, i dont think i have it on my phone currently lol
Yeah i might just buy a pogo plus+ in person cause a few stores have them near me
just bluetooth settings and toggle catch/spinnfrom watch or in pokemon go app is easier
I saw that it might lag without the app
And the quality on the gotchas are hit or miss
i think that is old wives tale lol
from when they were first rolling out
at least the legit gotchas, there a few knockoffs
The only thing im wondering now is if any of them would be worth it or not since theres only 1 pokestop at my work
If i did get it i would go downtown more often too
honestly it completely changes how i play pokemon go.
without it i prob wouldnt play
How many shiny pokemon have you caught so far with it?
Ive seen aperently it will miss some shinies which i dont mind
couldnt tell honestly
quite a few hah
but it is huge QOL boost
imagine you playing, busy, and you dont have to spin stops manually ever?
just how much time alone you save
Most of my shiny pokemon are in the mainline games but i want to get into more of pogo like with raids and pvp
hell ya
I almost helped take down a shadow raikou yesterday with like 10 other people but we didnt kill it in time
We were close though and i used a ground type

ye over time you will build up stuff
is a very time based game. gotta be patient
compounds up over time
Are remote raid passes still worth buying
if money is a nonfactor?
Yeah its not too expensive
up to you then. i am in position where $5 a day on a hobby is not end of world for me
but i dont have a use most raid bosses for hitting the daily limit so
your case may be different if you want the legendaries
But like once i build up good pokemon later on would other players make my remote pass useless?
how do you mean?
the value of the remote raid pass would be gathering rewards over time
legendary pokemon / candy etc
but if you make right investment it will be safe in long run
Like if we were to fight a legendary and if everyone leaves would it make it a loss
oh yea you do have to beat it
but check out the app pokegenie. it organizes raids with X amount of people so its hard to fail
I just worry about people dipping out and not being able to finish tge raid in time
Thats good
I dont doubt it lol
Ive done raids with groups in the mainline games and Dynamax adventures for the most part go right for me and others
The raids in SV arent eorth doing unless i can solo
right lol
the pogo raid system is pretty manageable once you get into it
but like i said, early game pogo kinda sucks lol!
but it add up over time, you will want to rush it but just keep playing when ya feel like it
Community day helped me get to level 20 pretty fast and ive been playing for 3 days
legit never thought i would get this far
going for 1 billion xp then i quit
heh
1 billion seems like alot
it is 😮
But i did see if you max out your friendslist with like 400 people with a the xp boost you get an insane amount of xp
yes just thru daily interaction
i would only focus on 20 daily opener/sender at a time tho tbh
I eventually plan on going out to the events in ny city because the ones this weekend had over 100 people at them
ya man is a lot of fun.
met some really cool ppl irl and have some longstanding friendship thru this silly game
I wouldvw gone to the closest one one saturday with 80 people but i was called into work
Atleast yesterday the apartments by me had 3 active lures at the pokestops and i walked though them all
I have like 450 goomy candy left
Just a reminder that it's double transfer candy tonight
There's a crazy hurricane tempest here rip Wingulls
Should I really purify it?
Stats aren't perfect for PvP but 91% still seems OK to me idk
I don’t spend any money on poke coins, and I can usually take down a 5 star remotely and a mega remotely every time they cycle. Use the gym system. It’s severely underrated. That’s the only way I survive f2p
I wouldn't, Prinplups not good for PVP anyway, better to have an Empoleon
To whoever cactusbirb is im sorry I couldn't join the raid in time I'm very busy
Who should I make as my buddy, I now have kyogre, groudon, therian ladorous, Mewtwo, darkrai, togekiss, Stoutland, and klinklang as best buddies
When go fest comes, get a dawn wings necrozma and make that your next one
just spawns
got any 4* you haven't?
Around 50 hundos, 2 shundos
load em up
I’ll start working on my shundo Goodra I just got, how should I build him tho
What does the yellow circles behind the shiny mewtwo mean?
Lucky!
Oh so like from a trade irl
I plan on getting a pogo plus + this weekend
I feel like with how loud everything is at my work no one would notice the vibration
I saw a video of one on a table and it was vibrating so bad that it moved off the table
I just buddy the ones I like, not necessarily my strongest
The Purmple is maxed out, since I wanted to try to get one of the highest possible Wurmple. Unfortunately is only a 14/15/14 so it’s not quite as high as it could be
So if i got the gotcha evolve rn i dont need to do anything other than connect it to pogo right?
I heard it had a app for firmware updates but it doesnt exist anymore and i dont trust some weird website for that
i have 2 and it’s a lucky hangar that sucks and my hundo tyranitar💀💀
i regret the gengar sm
working on a third one and it’s another tyranitar but it’s a shiny 89%
💀💀
I still haven’t found a kecleon
I need 10
Welp i think i got the bug i have palkia but it doesnt show lol
Bro's gf plays pogo, lucky
Mine just tells me I'm a very good trainer when I show her my shinies
I also am Buddying a vivilion ❤️
I wittled her down over time 😂
now she wants to play more than me lol
no
NO
I got an xxs galar articundo
I can’t believe this
I don’t have a freaking master ball
Fled

Bruh I'm honestly very disappointed that i couldn't find a shiny slakoth
One message removed from a suspended account.
easier to look at list of possible shadows..
Munnas size scaling is wack
Anyone know how to pronounce this?
Uhh. No
How bout this one?
Darn it
Should I disable this setting?
Reminder that this won an award for most buggiest game
Bruh I was looking for my adventure sync for so long before I realized it was just one of those lol
Why is it I have two Landorus but in the raid screen it says I don't have it yet?
wrong form?
Why do they have to do that to us I didn't think of the difference in forms
Yeah it's definitely that
I've had the same thing for galarian (regional) or unevolved
It needs the exact same form
I mean, it also even does it for megas. If you have the mon, but have never mega'd it, Mega raids show that way too
Lmao
for furfou cut should i go
Heart form or Japan exclusive form ( i might to japan next year)
this is a shiny furfrou im talking about
I'd choose Japanese exclusive since heart is global
I just beat Giovanni and he spawned a shadow legendary! Wtf awesome, and will it be like this every time?
Btw first time for me
It's nice because I never had a chance to complete shadow raids here where I live
yes
it rotates
you’ll see
It's a guarantee that you'll get the shadow legendary every time
Awesone
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1553buu/pokemon_go_plus_deleting_sleep_data/?rdt=64883 i don't know what else to do, there's just 1 day left for the event sleep research and I couldn't log sleep data even once
60$ for this piece of garbage, wtf?
Did you try the fix in the comments? https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1553buu/comment/jsy2mc5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Looks like it gets screwy if you're using multiple devices.
Yes I did, the delete message keeps popping up
Even contacted pogo support now but ofc it'll be too late
Does giovanni spawn from those team rocket balloons?
It's a guarantee if you have a super radar

New 450 friend cap
We are happy to announce that we’ve increased the upper limit of your Niantic Friends List to 450! Keep in mind that your Niantic Friends List includes friends from across all Niantic Apps.
That kinda sucks. In like a year or so I’ll have to start deleting some friends to keep on remote raiding lol
wdym
Wasn't the original cap 200
Oh lmfao I didn’t know that there was a limit earlier
I thought they were just implementing that
there already was a cap (I think something like 200) and this is them more than doubling it
it went from 4 to 450
I hope they just increase the gift sending cap and amount you can hold
that would be nice

Wish they bring back the monthly pass for that
Double the amount of best friends we have
What that
There was a 5$ passes where gift and spin stop give 1.5x and can hold 40 gift at a time and can claim 40 gift a day
Oh ok thanks
