[fervent pewter]

yea pvp is my thing !

nah just to friends n stuff who dont pvp lol

[unborn garden]

I can tell with this and your pvp mons

aw thats fair :)

[fervent pewter]

it goes quick tho, i still remember being level 32 like it was yesterday in my college dorm

[unborn garden]

aw haha and look how far youve come since then, Im assuming youre lvl 50 by now

[fervent pewter]

yup never wouldve thought i get this far 😂

[unborn garden]

those are some crazy stats

ggssss

[fervent pewter]

like i said lol, play too much

ive tried to quit a few times now but now that my gf plays (she is lvl 42 now) she not letting me 😂

[unborn garden]

awww haha thats sweet, its nice you two play together :)

[quiet kite]

Having a gf or wife to play with is indeed a big help, can confirm

[unborn garden]

Its always more fun with people important to you

[fervent pewter]

yea i prob wouldve lost interest now without a +1 to play with

she doesnt take it as serious as me ofc but she a grinder 😤💯

[plucky sky]

Here's all the missions from the new masterwork MB research

Only actual timegates on the last step, and only 7 days, so that's nice

Although it's not like the other parts won't take a bit. Those are some big numbers. But technically not timegates

[unborn garden]

yeah Ive had multiple breaks, mostly due to the friends I play with stopping or being too busy

[unborn garden]

thats sweet, Im glad you both enjoy it this much aha

[unborn garden]

good to know, ty :)

[mild whale]

Fix ur game 💀

[thorn steppe]

What does invoting mean on niantic wayfarer?:D

With a hot air balloon icon next to it **

[fervent pewter]

heading out now to play event, roar of time ready 🔥

sending shiny gbird luck to everyone

[unborn garden]

you got this, good luck o7

[quiet kite]

Good luck sir or madam

[oblique ivy]

Seeing some zacian raids around me. Can he still be shiny? Or no

[unborn garden]

yeah it can be shiny

[oblique ivy]

Okay, good to know

Thanks

[plucky cosmos]

Guys, are shiny G birds guaranteed catches?

[late edge]

not guaranteed catches but they can’t flee

[unborn garden]

make sure youre stocked up on balls aha regular catch rates I believe

[fervent pewter]

nada for me but my gf saw a moltres ! not shiny

[plucky cosmos]

Okay, that helps, thanks, as long as they can't flee, it's guaranteed to me

[crisp relic]

bigtgamer09 has given 1 Gen Rep to interstellar_latte

[ionic bridge]

My first zama raid ans I got a 94!

[distant sable]

Zamazenta on my 3rd raid

And shiny Zacian was on my 6th raid

[fervent pewter]

ayyy

[twin cove]

[unique grotto]

Congrats!

[distant sable]

Ty ty

If only it was like this all the time

[crisp relic]

[unique grotto]

RNG is a fickle beast.

[crude crag]

Anyone got a bird yet?

[torpid fjord]

Is this a bug where its showing the shiny stars or is this also shiny? Out of the 3 normal ones i have this one sparkles for some reason

Its like this is the first one i caught but the other 2 normal ones dont have those sparkles

My 4th one shows as shiny with the sparkles though

[twin cove]

It’s a common glitch rn, it’s not actually shiny

[torpid fjord]

Okay that makes more sense cause i do have the actual shiny one

[twin cove]

Exit out of the summary screen and go back in and it won’t have them

[torpid fjord]

I do have this abomination still

[twin cove]

Yeah they screwed up lol

[torpid fjord]

It was fine when i got it but the new update did this

Its face is on the back of its head

Oh no

I wonder if they saw it like that too

I did download all assets and did the game refresh last night but it didnt change anything

[crude crag]

That bug is for everyone

[torpid fjord]

So this guy saw me win with that

I didnt really have to change my pokemon ngl

[crude crag]

Wdym

[distant sable]

We can test it out

We can battle and see if it looks the same from my view

[torpid fjord]

I checked with my brother and it does

[distant sable]

That's pretty cool then

[hallow hull]

Agaaaaaaain

[plucky sky]

1/20 still means only 5% of birds you see will be shiny. Every 20 birds you see, on average you'll see 1 shiny. So they're still not common or anything

[fervent pewter]

i enjoyed my grind earlier for them

[hallow hull]

I believe in my luck

Ive gotten 4 shinies in the past 2 hours xD

The birb is close

[fervent pewter]

no way

birb

how did you do that 😂

[distant light]

I saw the claws and scrolled up hella fast lmao

[quiet kite]

I call fowl on that one

[fervent pewter]

did no one see the birb command ? 😂

YOoo ! there it is

[hallow hull]

XD

[crude crag]

Is it confirmed or just a guess?

[hallow hull]

Birb

It didn’t work this time

[hallow hull]

XD disappointed

[fervent pewter]

i think it cant be a standalone birb

that's awesome

[plucky sky]

I think confirmed through unofficial means. Niantic barely ever tells us the direct rates

[crude crag]

I was looking for datamines but there were only photo files instead of the text stuff so I assumed ppl didnt dare to mine too hard for stuff because they ll get raided by niantic the moment it gets out😂

[woeful pulsar]

shiny rates are server side, they've never been mined directly

[fervent pewter]

and dw everything gets mined thoroughly

[crude crag]

Whats server side

[woeful pulsar]

it's on niantic servers. no one has access to that. as opposed to what's downloaded to your phone in the app, which is usually what is mined

[odd crag]

A friend of mine just randomly opened the game after years, I guess he randomly completed a master research for apex shadow Ho-Oh, found a HUNDO and proceeded to purify it 💀

His reply when I asked him what happened

[fervent pewter]

heh

[odd crag]

Bruh his reply cracked me up why is it so funny

What a legend

[forest saffron]

Can someone explain how the trick to get an almost guaranteed galarian bird spawn works? It’s like you use the incense 3 minutes before the hour or something?

[mortal furnace]

If thats a thing i doubt anyone would share it since they would fix it but i wouldn’t mind being enlightened in dm‘s if anyone has some voodoo, tricks and tips about g birds lol

[fervent pewter]

i feel like we all been there in pogo 😂

done smth really dumb

[crude crag]

https://fxtwitter.com/abesanmk21/status/1842325565162107156?s=46

😭

Thats nasty

[ionic bridge]

God, I have seen what you’ve done for others. 🤣

[sharp finch]

Waiting for NOFX to get on stage again

So Gerald time

[distant light]

Hundo shadow machop. I purified it. I then proceeded to transfer the now purified machop.

[fervent pewter]

heh

[rotund copper]

I purified my Shiny Shadow Weavile since shadows were pretty new still and I thought purified were better since they were higher cp

[fervent pewter]

can you tell

i had a 14 15 14 shadow snorlax that i purified which would be one of the best mlp mons 😭

[fossil basin]

Damn

A shiny sewaddle ran away from me. Damn you pogo plus XD

[flat crystal]

We got mlps in the game??

[unborn garden]

Im convinced shiny sewaddle doesnt exist

[fossil basin]

Apparently the odds are sh*t this time

For me it was sh*t lol

As i said this, a shiny sewaddle spawned

[unborn garden]

its supposed to be 1/25

55 checks and nothing, I live in a remote area with not great spawns or gps so thats all I got today

[unborn garden]

Im jealous aha

[fossil basin]

No incense?

Also get your 5 snapshot encounters

[unborn garden]

Ive been using it doesnt let me walk due to gps most of the time

[unborn garden]

My game crashes taking pictures aha, its really sucky

Itll just be yet another shiny I need from December com day

[fossil basin]

Plat Picnicker badge get!

[plucky sky]

Should be the same as every other cday. RNG is just as random as ever though. I saw someone else who got 63 shinies today.

[plucky sky]

Thats...not a thing. You get the same result by just jumping up and down on 1 foot a few times and singing a song before opening the game. People have their rituals, but at the end of the day, it doesn't affect anything. It's just the same rates as always and getting lucky

[fossil basin]

Rng is RnG

[plucky sky]

[fossil basin]

Ended

5 shines and a hundo

Good for me

[unborn garden]

luckyyyy congrats :)

[plucky sky]

The hundo is nice. Wish you better shiny luck next time 🙏

[fossil basin]

Its a levanny now

[plucky sky]

My Cday isn't for another 9 and a half hours

East coast USA time

[fossil basin]

Gremlin

[plucky sky]

Ngl, hundos have always been rarer than shinies for me, especially on cday. A shundo would be nice, but I'd definitely take any hundos

[fossil basin]

Im still unsure if my pogo plus caught it or i did

Lol

[loud gull]

are the galarian birds appearing more often during the event?

[glad niche]

Oh wow

[glad niche]

Don't believe so

[plucky sky]

Nope. The only real difference is the chance for the birds to be shiny, but this event just marks the start/introduction of that. The shiny birds will have the same chance to show up after the event ends too

[crude crag]

Nah dude ran 1 hour and got 5 birds to appear as far as i understood but odds stay the same

[glad niche]

That's very lucky
How many did you catch?

[crude crag]

Non😂

I only encountered 1 so far

I did a 2 hour run and a 15min one

[glad niche]

Oh a different person got 5

[crude crag]

Yeah the dude on the twitter post

Lol my bad if it was confusing

[crude crag]

.

[loud gull]

Wow it would take me a month to find 1.

[crude crag]

Thats not true🤨in your next incense there are 2 birds

[fervent pewter]

im doing daily incense all day

[crude crag]

Alting or going broke?😂

Saw someone post their 24h roar of time lol

1.2m dust and 1.2k candy😭

[fervent pewter]

finally have a use for all my rare candy 🔥

[odd crag]

[unborn garden]

When I was not knowledgeable of shadow mons I purified a couple shadow g2 starters into hundos and my research zapdos, also convinced a friend to purify their worse shadow mewtwo aha T^T

[fervent pewter]

i always purify for hundo if they arent relevant as shadow

and have a thing where ill never make a <15 atk shadow so

[crude crag]

Shadow ml is too expansive anyway for a starter pokemon

And for raids you wont need good iv‘s

[fervent pewter]

more of just a resource management thing

not going to invest 500k dust in crummy ivs 🤷‍♂️

[odd crag]

What is ml?

Milliliters?

[fervent pewter]

master league maybe

[odd crag]

Oh

[crude crag]

Yeah master league 😅

[mortal nimbus]

Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 192998210800

Need help with zamazenta

[crude crag]

You can use poke genie(app) and leekduck(website)if you cant get enough ppl for raiding

[tired yarrow]

Anyone know what what wild weather boosted hundo sewaddle is

[woeful pulsar]

lv35 is 907CP

[crude crag]

Weather only boosts combat power/level , spawn rate and 4/4/4 iv‘s are at least

[tired yarrow]

Yeah what’s a level 35 was my question

[crude crag]

Oh ic

[tired yarrow]

Thanks, 35 is weather boosted hundo, right

[crisp relic]

cataylor_01 has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

[crude crag]

Weather boosted can be level 6 too

[tired yarrow]

Well yeah, I know that, but I have weather boost rn and I wanted to know what cp I needed for a guaranteed wild hundo

[crude crag]

https://db.pokemongohub.net/pokemon/540/iv-chart

[woeful pulsar]

there's a lot of CP for that.

[crude crag]

0 and 100 for each level

[woeful pulsar]

it's not a good question because you have to know 30 different CP values

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-thefour-staredown-rolling-eyes-gif-12836014

[sharp finch]

BRO

EVERY TIME I HATCH A GOOMY ITS A FLOOR!!

[crude crag]

Wish it wouldn’t even be in eggs lol

[fluid valve]

I got a really good Leavanny that I evolved today. I accidentally ditched shadow claw cuz I was annoyed that I lost energy ball and stuff 😅

Oh oops I thought she had 3 stars. Well I encountered her randomly(in august) and got 2 stars, and her highest stat is attack 😄

[crude crag]

Is shadow claw even good on leavanny?

[fervent pewter]

shadow claw is one of the best moves in the game

leavanny on the other hand....

not good for pve or pvp but it might have play in a restricted meta one day never know 😂

so i made one lol

[crude crag]

I couldn’t even bother getting enough xl candy just in case lol

I caught 3 shinies for each gender and stop playing the com day😭

Well tbf i caught like 15 males or so before i got 3 females lol

[fervent pewter]

yea was a chill cd for me

played for an hour and got mcdonalds 🔥

[spice igloo]

I barely tries and got enough shinies

[restive turtle]

got sick yesterday and i shouldn't even be outside

but sewaddle is a silly lil guy so

[crude crag]

Dont go too hard and good luck

[restive turtle]

thanks

[plucky sky]

I got a decent IV 3 star shiny and decided I'm happy with that. I got some more shinies and xxl ones, but it wasn't worth going hard for farming this time. Only went out for like 30 minutes. If he was more useful, I'd put more time in

[ionic bridge]

4 star regular and 3 star shiny. 11 shinies total. I’m happy with it.

[ionic bridge]

Same, patiently waiting for halloween themed stuff

[restive turtle]

just popped off

[fluid valve]

😔 my poor glass cannon

[odd crag]

Perfect shiny color+lucky background match aaaah

[restive turtle]

my friend has had that shiny shelmet for a while and even considered transferring because he couldn't find anyone to mirror trade with

then i got shiny karrablast

[fluid valve]

I only got one Shiny Sewaddle but that's good enough for me! However I hated getting the Sewaddle pass 💀 Just for rare candy and stuff. It was literally 5 pm when I crammed the last mission

I would've been angry if I bought the Hatenna pass only to find there's no way to get a shiny Hatenna in Go 😭😭 Thank goodness I didn't

Now I have 3 Leavanny and 400 candy

How can I get 400 sewaddle candy but I still can't evolve swablu 😑

[crude crag]

Double catch candy+ com day spawns

You ll get there for swablu soon enough

[fluid valve]

Good idea. I'll have to save up pinap berries.

I'm almost there, I got 333 candy 😭😭

[crude crag]

Oh no i meant you got that many candy because its com day and double catch candy😅

[twin cove]

There are still people in the zacian queue 😭

They are so clueless

[fluid valve]

Oh! Yeahhhh that makes sense haha. Wish there was a community day/event for dragons like there was with Psychic types 😮‍💨 I need to evolve Poiple into Nagandel badly

My Dragonair is so close to being a Dragonite but dragons are SO. RARE. Even on windy days!!!

Maybe there was a dragon event I just missed it 😐

[fervent pewter]

its a pretty common event spawn so itll be featured soon surely lol

[twin cove]

It was featured during go fest

I got one shiny

[unborn garden]

There’s a lot of events with dratini

[twin cove]

It was actually cp that could’ve been a hundo, got so hyped I got a shundo but it wasn’t

[unborn garden]

rip, if only

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/elijah-connor-elijahconnor-thefour-stare-gif-23964934

[twin cove]

I sent that to my friend and he replaced OMG IS THAT A SHUNDO

he hyped me up SO much

[crude crag]

The sunday during wild area will have more common wild dragonite i believe

[fervent pewter]

what is the hundo dratini from research

[crude crag]

430

[fervent pewter]

dang i was gonna say 420 but i knew it was off

[crude crag]

So whats the iv‘s

[twin cove]

[stable torrent]

How useful do y'all think Shadow Claw is on Leavanny?

[crude crag]

Pvpogo its ranked 139 for gl and 111 on ul

[restive turtle]

my friend offered a shiny solrock for my shiny scolipede

should i

[crude crag]

Its your pixels😂

Do you feel like thats a equally cool/useful mon?

Only real advice i can give you is that yours is currently rarer to spawn

[twin cove]

Ehh I wouldn’t do it tbh

Solrock is permanently available with sunsteel strike

I feel like scolipede is a bit rarer

[restive turtle]

it is?

damn

[crude crag]

During wild area next month it ll be boosted spawns

Only 2 days long tho😂

[twin cove]

I mean you can do whatever you want

That’s just my opinion

[restive turtle]

i was gonna trade it because i thought it was region exclusive

but i guess not lol

might trade for his shiny kingdra

[crude crag]

Its north, south amercia and Africa exclusive

Or regional

[twin cove]

But it’s not a regional anymore

It’s in the sunsteel strike adventure effect pool

[crude crag]

That explains why i got some lol

[distant light]

Whichever you like more not like pogo has values

[distant light]

Wait it spawns in North America? I’ve only ever seen wild lunatone

Never a solrock

[unborn garden]

I get Solrock spawns in Aus

[crude crag]

.

[crude crag]

Gotta go outside when the sun is out😂

[twin cove]

Yeah they had them swapped around

At the bottom

[crude crag]

So it is still regional?

Ig they swap twice a year

[distant light]

I don’t think they do. I see lunatone all the time and I’ve only seen solrock during this years go fest

[lone scarab]

It's been a while since they switched, just separately featured during events

[distant light]

Oh lol wish there was a schedule or something. Seems kinda arbitrary

[plucky sky]

Niantic and arbitrary? Lol, nah. That doesn't sound like them

[violet bone]

I am trying to build my friend list on pogo and also looking for someone to play with.

[plucky sky]

We have #pogo_friend_codes for that reason

[thorn steppe]

only got 6 shiny Sewaddle yesterdau 😦

i still need kangastan D:

[fervent pewter]

best part of the event

[glad niche]

It is
Not when you always have a full bag though

[fervent pewter]

i been down bad since like go fest months ago 😂

never been able to stock back up

gonna stock up today for sure 😄

could just buy more bag storage but

[odd crag]

I think it's a northern/southern emisphe thinf

Thing

[restive turtle]

popped daily incense and got a galarian Moltres but it despawned before i could encounter :(

even after clicking 5 times

[crude crag]

Rough

I encountered 3 today and even caught one for the first time lol

M odds to encounter a shiny go up step by step but my encounter chance goes down😂

[unborn garden]

Ooo nice which one?

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/dripped-cock-swagging-out-gif-26186543

[unborn garden]

Moltres?

Haha

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/rowlet-squish-zapdos-pokemon-gif-24619561

[unborn garden]

Oooo the best one :)

Congrats were the ivs any good?

[crude crag]

80 but i wont level jt up

It was level 9😂

[unborn garden]

Fair still cool to get a 3*

Nice aha

[fervent pewter]

yooo not sure how I overlooked this, but since we are all hype about the daily incense grind:

if you follow routes while its active youll have slightly more encounters.. 👀

budget option for my RoT lackers

[hoary surge]

In PoGo.
FT: Adventure Effect Dialga and Palkia.
LF: rare/legendary shinies or apex lugia/ho-oh

[crude crag]

You cant trade shadow Pokemon

[hoary surge]

They’d have to be purified

[woeful pulsar]

specifically a new route you've never done before

[woeful pulsar]

trades are only local (100m) so you'll have to look at a local server not here

[crude crag]

Yeah whats the point of them if they aint shadow anymore

[hoary surge]

Apex 🙂

[odd crag]

People would lucky trade shadows, then purify and get hundos very easily

That's why we can't trade shadows anymore.

[fervent pewter]

kekw

[restive turtle]

true...

[crude crag]

Does that work if i start the route, then the incense and stop the route and tomorrow with the same route again?

[woeful pulsar]

From what I know. If you stop the route it still counts as a not new route. So you can just leave the route running if you want to keep using the same one. Otherwise you have to keep doing new

[crude crag]

Kk thx

[fervent pewter]

any route

where are you getting that it has to be a new route from..?

been like this since they were added

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongolive.com/routes?hl=en#bonuses

[distant light]

So there’s still a 100 meter trade limit

[fervent pewter]

ah yea that must be new?

not sure it makes a difference then

bc it still boosting for ones done prior

[woeful pulsar]

been there since routes launched

[fervent pewter]

hmm weird

only reason i can confirm old routes do is bc ive been doing it lol

[woeful pulsar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1fx0i0g/analysis_of_newrouteincense/

this person says otherwise so idk

[fervent pewter]

is about 50s / encounter without route buff

[stray sorrel]

Bad luck... G Articuno spawn too near a pokestop and I couldn't click on it before it run from me 😭

[crude crag]

Rip

Gotta zoom in next time😭

[trail cloak]

I've been getting 1 in 30sec normally, 1 in 15 on new routes

[fervent pewter]

hey ill happily be wrong 😂

i'm not tracking time or anything

are you catching everything?

[trail cloak]

One day I'll visit the lakefront here

No, I catch about half of DAI spawns at a guess

[fervent pewter]

lol casual 8? mile route

[trail cloak]

But I've experimented with going off-route and such, so I counted the seconds between spawns. If you start a new route and go off track, it'll go back to 1/30. Also, if you cancel the route and restart it, it'll no longer count as new.

[fervent pewter]

good to know

have you tried walking back and forth indefinitely?

so the route doesn't end

[trail cloak]

Yep, once traveled it no longer counts

Throwback to when spoofers walked back and forth on routes for infinite XLs 💀

[ocean orbit]

My shiny bird last night was off a route

But also I got a Zapdos not on a route

[trail cloak]

nice

[plucky sky]

So what was the point of having slowpoke showcases instead of sewaddle showcases? And now it's going to be zamazenta...so we just don't get a showcase for the cday mon? Lol what was the point of that. Are they just drunk like usual?

Also why give us a showcase that ends 2 days before the spotlight hour for that mon happens

Just a really weird decision

[fossil basin]

YIPEE

[quiet kite]

Shiny Zamazenta is not cooperating with me

22 raids in

[unborn garden]

youll get one, hopefully soon

[fervent pewter]

kinda cool

[honest laurel]

I've been having some serious trouble getting leader cliff to spawn. I've done numerous resets to change leader and I've beaten Sierra/Arlo combined over 18 times in the last month. This is getting ridiculous. Been so long since I've seen cliff that I have 2 separate researches that require his defeat and both offer a boss radar. Like bruh.

Is anyone else having this issue or am I just losing my mind over this terrible rng?

[crude crag]

1 advice would be not to use your radar until you encounter cliff

Another one would be to click the radar, it ll show you all boss spawns in close proximity so you can check them out one by one

It most likely rng

[honest laurel]

I'll keep the next one I get but I have been holding onto some of the radars I've gotten to see different spawns. I've been at this for about 3 months now so I'm just frustrated is all. Apologies

[crude crag]

All good lol

Hope you get lucky

[honest laurel]

Thanks. Crossn my fingers hoping that helps but eh, not everything goes so smoothly it seems....

[honest laurel]

When is the next takeover event now that it's mentioned??

[crude crag]

8-11th october

[honest laurel]

Thanks

[crude crag]

My bad

[honest laurel]

That shadow heat ran looks nice

[honest laurel]

October!? Oh damn. That's like really soon! Shoot. Please cliff! Fight me you coward!

[crude crag]

Tomorrow😂

[honest laurel]

TOMORROW!?!! BRUH

I'm bout to use a few coins to get a radar rn. I thought I had time🥲

[crude crag]

😭

You probably still got some time

It starts 12am local time

[honest laurel]

When does takeover end? You know?

[crude crag]

Its on the picture

[honest laurel]

Oh right...

whoops

Are the shiny odds increased for any of the shadow pokemon? I've been dying to get a shiny shadow croagunk/machop for a while now

[crude crag]

I dont think so its just during the takeover the grunts spawn a lot more

[honest laurel]

Ah

[crude crag]

Odds stay 1/250 or whatever they are for grunts

1/256 it is

Leaders are 1/64

[honest laurel]

That's.... not Horrible. Could be worse ig

[crude crag]

It is horrible for me😂

Never got a shiny shadow yet

Well non raid shiny shadow

I did get lots of legendaries lol but they throw them after you

[honest laurel]

I'm honestly kinda looking forward to the venipede and roggenrola spawns

Big unova fan and I don't get much access to mons from that gen where I am

[crude crag]

During wild area you might get some

[honest laurel]

Shiny tyrantrum!? Dayum. That'd be a very welcome find. The unova pokemon are nice however the croagunk and alolan geodude spawns have my attention too... so many good options this time around

I'm happy to see the skrelp line too. Nice typing, good shiny designs

Manky community day?

👀

[rotund copper]

I hope so

It’s one of the Kanto shinies I’m still missing for my shiny Kanto dex

[plucky sky]

That's definitely his tail at the end of the video, and they used the cday hashtag, and that's from the official acocunt, so I don't see a world where it isn't manky cday

So I'm like 99% sure

[rotund copper]

And it matches the general trend of 3 stages + special evolution method

[plucky sky]

Yeah

Shiny annihilape for pvp would be cool

[rotund copper]

Although tbf I frequently forget Annihilape evolves from Primeape and isn’t just its own separate species

[plucky sky]

Lmao fair

[fossil basin]

Rage fist?

So its possible its for this event

[fervent pewter]

yea we got it from dataminr already

😭

[glad niche]

A 2 stage mon?
Unusual

[woeful pulsar]

annihilape

[glad niche]

Oh yeah
Haven't gotten around to evolving it

[fervent pewter]

they will prob lift the restrictions for CD

make it so you dont have to beat 30 ghost / we

[plucky sky]

That would be nice

[glad niche]

Doubt that

[glad rover]

They don't usually do that

[unique grotto]

Eevee community day waived the walking and buddy requirements for Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon. Teddiursa waived the full moon requirement.

[plucky sky]

Would be cool if they did

[fervent pewter]

they have done it for everythhing with a requirement lol

[unique grotto]

They changed it instead of waving it for the Galarian Slowpoke on the Slowpoke community day. https://pokemongolive.com/post/communityday-mar23-slowpoke/?hl=en

[plucky sky]

Did goodra still need a lure active?

[unique grotto]

Yes, but they also gave out rainy lures in times research.

[plucky sky]

Ah I see. That seems fair

So it's not unlikely that they'll make it easier somehow for mankey day

[distant light]

Like it’s cool… but this one could’ve been the spooky one yk

[plucky sky]

Maybe they're trying to go with annihilape as being spooky? Or more likely, they just didn't care. But yeah, a more ghostly ghost type could have been nice

But I won't complain about mankey, since annihilape actually has some uses, unlike some cday mons

[glad rover]

To be fair the only two 3 stage ghost type evolution lines they haven't had a com day for are the Dreepy line (which just got added into the game) and the Honedge line which isn't even in the game so their options for spooky pokemon in October com days isn't much

[crude crag]

They could ve done a costume com day

[glad niche]

They've never done multiple mons on com day (excluding regional varients)

[crude crag]

I mean 1 single evo line

And even so its a special com day so why not

[crude crag]

December com days are a thing

[lone scarab]

I think they should've went the super cool route and done a corsola comm day

They just did a galar/Kanto ponyta split one it would've been interesting to do the same with corsola and cursola, altho the only issue there is that jorsola doesn't evolve...

[fervent pewter]

they gotta milk cursola release first lol

they are making it super hard to get in event likely

raids / eggs etc

[fluid valve]

Oooo!!

[fluid valve]

LETS GOOOO????

[plucky sky]

https://fixupx.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1843335580286955956?s=19

[fluid valve]

Okay that's actually awesome :0 Too bad they can't evolve though. I'm a raichu fan personally

If I could I'd commission a Raichu plush (cuz even Alolan Raichu doesn't have enough merch...) and dress it up in a cute little pop star costume

[woeful pulsar]

the snorlax looks so sick

[fluid valve]

WHAAAAT..... Punk Rock Snorlax omg....he is their MANAGER.

Or band member. Whatever HE LOOKS AWESOME

[fervent pewter]

yoo that snorlax is sick

kinda wish they did new rock star pikas but whatever

[odd crag]

This is wild

[hollow sinew]

Galarian birds can be shiny now?

[woeful pulsar]

yep

[hollow sinew]

No flee instead of instant catch

I gotta be careful with my go plus plus now lol

Is this limited time like Meltan?

[glad rover]

No not temporary

And yeah they can still flee from the go plus plus even the shinies so definitely don't activate your daily incense with that on

[hollow sinew]

Are the rates 1/20?

Good thing I can switch off pokemon detection for the go plus plus lol

[grand canopy]

should be 1/20 yep

[hollow sinew]

My 1000 golden razz berries will finally find a use once I find one

[crude crag]

They are always my gym and buddy treats lol

[hollow sinew]

I don't use them as a buddy treat because I always have too many regular berries

[crude crag]

Using 3 is too much time wasted

[hollow sinew]

And I rarely have to stand my ground in gyms as I just enter multiple per work day lol

[grand canopy]

yay minun

[fervent pewter]

double dust for a day

[loud gull]

yes the ticket is worth it 😄

[fervent pewter]

but boosted shinies always fun

[woeful pulsar]

that's cope you can get snorlax without ticket

[lost quartz]

Love it when a raid says you don't have that pokemon and yet I've got 2

[woeful pulsar]

it's the own tempo version, that can evolve into dusk form

[lost quartz]

Isn't that what I've got??

[woeful pulsar]

nope, that's the normal version. those are midday and midnight form

[lost quartz]

Oh ok thank you I was like what's going on here

@woeful pulsar thank you

[crisp relic]

kara01885 has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/stars-dust-magic-dust-sparkling-gif-15426299

[lone scarab]

Htffff do you have that much dust

Also I tried that daily incense trick thing, never found anything :(
Extended it to an hour and walked a bunch of routes I'd never done and nothing either :(

Did find a kecleon on the 3h journey tho so hey worth (somehow) lol

[fossil basin]

Biggest shield doggo showcases is a go!

[mortal furnace]

Daily PvP is probably the first step

Go plus, fast catch and play time

[fervent pewter]

def not a pvp player

or he wouldnt have that dust

[main summit]

Here is a question.

If you got a zygarde. In its “dog” forme. Would it be able to be transferred onto switch into pokemon home? Then into swsh?

Asking for a friend.

[distant light]

It can’t exit pogo

[main summit]

k

[mortal furnace]

You wont need that many battle ready Pokemon

No reason to build 200 more level 50 ml Pokemon lol

[fervent pewter]

shieeet man i 7 of the same pokemon made

[mortal furnace]

Those aint level 50 tho

[fervent pewter]

what does that have to do w it lol

[distant light]

50k stardust to get 3 moves anyways

And they’re high level

[mortal furnace]

500k for a level 50 is how i calculated it lol

[distant light]

lol

[mortal furnace]

Shadow probably 600-700k

[mortal furnace]

What is legend referring to?😅

Its status? lol

[fervent pewter]

over the years ive renamed pokemon i hit legend with heh

havent tracked them all but been trying to keep up with it

[main summit]

But like. If you have pokemon sun. What formes can zygarde be transfered in swsh?

[mortal furnace]

All 3 if you have the dlc

[distant light]

Idk all I really focus on is pogo

[fervent pewter]

you can get zygarde in sword shield too

[main summit]

So like. If i have crown tundra.

It doesnt matter what 10-50-100% it is? Its transferable no matter what?

(From sun)

[mortal furnace]

Oh that is dont know but k doubt you ll need the dlc to transfer it

[distant light]

I think form doesn’t matter with transferring ever

[mortal furnace]

As long its from the mainline it should be fine

[main summit]

Ill just transfer it in 10% to swsh lol.

[distant light]

lol

[mortal furnace]

Apparently you wont need the dlc

You just need to talk to a merchant in Stow On Side

[unborn garden]

Done with Zamazenta raids, lost 3ish remote raid passes due to crashes and bugs

[plucky sky]

Support is actually pretty good about getting your replacement remote raid passes for bugs if you never made it to the catching portion

I've gotten multiple back for raids that just stayed on the 0 hp attacking part or the achievements part and crashed or froze

[fervent pewter]

ya support is surprisingly pretty generous

or you can just bully them into giving into what you ask 😂

[lone scarab]

Did a raid today where i invited 10 people in and game rewarded that by yeeting me out when it started so had to rerun it with another group

[quiet kite]

Always depressing to be top damage dealer on a remote raid pass

[lone scarab]

Least was irl so could recover it

[unborn garden]

It is? Can you tell me how to ask for replacements? Ive never done anything with pogo support

[plucky sky]

It's actually pretty automated

[fervent pewter]

あなたは日本語を話せますか？:o

[plucky sky]

You just go into support through the app and press the right buttons for things like "didn't get rewarded for raid" and stuff. They have all the information about completed raids and stuff on their end

[quiet kite]

ま、上手じゃないけど…笑

Anata is kinda confrontational, don't you think?

[plucky sky]

These are the steps to get to the automated chatbot for support:

That's all

[unborn garden]

thanks!

[plucky sky]

From there it asks you questions and you just answer them

👍

[fossil basin]

Hmm should i best buddy my 98 zacian?

[plucky sky]

At this point I just best budy things I need candy for or shiny legends that I know I'll be using for a long time. Like my shiny megas are all best buddies

[fossil basin]

Right now im just best buddy my mega garde

need more energy after all

[plucky sky]

I've got my shiny primal groudon, shiny primal kyogre, hundo mega ray, and shiny yveltal as best buddies. I think there are a few more but I just did them for the candy

[fossil basin]

I plan do my also shundo shiny mega zard

ALMOST

hundo.

i think is 96 lol

[plucky sky]

I've wanted a shiny charizard for awhile, but there hasn't really been a good opportunity since I started playing

Need a rerun cday

[fossil basin]

There was charmander classic a while ago

[plucky sky]

Yeah I only started in February

So I missed that

[fossil basin]

:(

[plucky sky]

But I'm sure it will come home someday. Charizard is just so classic/iconic

[fossil basin]

that charizard came from a raid so no Elite TM move..

If you do spot it in the wild

The odds will be 1/64 cause. Mega raids

charizard counts

[plucky sky]

True. I keep an eye out

🙏

[unborn garden]

youll get it! charmander is available often

[fervent pewter]

is it?

[fossil basin]

?

[fervent pewter]

is do not better than can?

maybe i have it flipped

[fossil basin]

Ohhhh that was the context

I was so confused lol

[fervent pewter]

my broken japanese

lol

i cant be practicing with a manga pfp tho ppl gonna think imma weeb

[quiet kite]

Using "Anata" for "you" (to address someone you don't really know) is confrontational

If someone came up to me in public and started a sentence like that I would assume they are majorly pissed and want to confront me about something

[fervent pewter]

oh dang LOL

that is good to know

[quiet kite]

Honestly you're probably better off just not using any version of "you" in a situation like that

[fervent pewter]

i figure as an american they cut you some slack

[quiet kite]

Maybe "あの、日本語できますか？" would be better

[quiet kite]

How do you know if I'm American?

[fervent pewter]

i mean me

theyd cut me some slack

[quiet kite]

Oh. No, they won't cut you slack. They'll just act shy and confused and try to back out of the conversation

[fervent pewter]

heh fair

i have a job in english speaking "commune" but dont really want to live in an english subset in japan

rather just wait and study for a year or two

[quiet kite]

Most Japanese people don't have much experience trying to communicate with someone who isn't a native Japanese speaker, so they don't know how to handle it

[fervent pewter]

yea very understandable

motivate me more to practice

i want to teach skiing in somewhere not hirafu

sure niseko is cool but yea, id just be in english bubble

[fossil basin]

Does anyone want the sponsored charizard tcg gift

[languid raft]

Hi everyone, do we have a trading section for pokemon go?

[glad rover]

No since trading is only local in Pokémon Go

[forest saffron]

Just failed my first shiny in this game

fuck

[distant light]

“My luck is bad give me shinies”

[distant light]

My first shiny was hatched lol

Didn’t have to go through the trauma of trying to catch one

[late edge]

haaaah…
thus is really frustrating m

[distant light]

Oof

[late edge]

first encounter of the week

[distant light]

The grind for the shiny is real

[forest saffron]

Nah I mean I just had my first shiny fail

Not my first ever shiny

[distant light]

Oh lol

That’s not as bad

[forest saffron]

True, still kinda sucks tho

as a somewhat new player, every shiny is awesome

[distant light]

My 2 shiny chimechos that I fr deserved are waiting for me lol

I want it so bad and I’ve encountered 2

But missed both of them

[forest saffron]

oof twice really sucks

[distant light]

Fr the only other shiny I’ve seen twice randomly was bronzor

[forest saffron]

ive seen two shiny diglett, the first one acually being my first shiny

[distant light]

Nice I really want that one

[sharp finch]

Now imagine me finding 4 of those, IN A ROW, getting all excellent, golden razz and ultras on every one. And they all got zero shakes. The only one I actually care about and I've lost so many of them, and them I get the other 2 galar birds first ball

All I want is galar articuno

All I ask

[late edge]

4 on 1 incense-

[sharp finch]

I KNOW

[late edge]

wtf

[sharp finch]

This was so many months ago

And I haven't seem a bird since my zapdos on frokie com day

Froakie*

Also meet Gerald

[trail cloak]

Hi Gerald! So very nice to eat you!

[fossil basin]

Kecleon found

3 left…

[honest laurel]

So moves are sometimes changed on evolution right? Well I got a shadow prinplup that I want to use a tm on. If I use that then evolve into Empoleon outside the event time, will it still have frustration removed from its move pool?

[unborn garden]

yeah

if you remove frustration you cant get it back on that pokemon

even through evos

[honest laurel]

Ok and one more question. If I remove frustration from a bunch of pokemon during the event, can I use charged tms on them outside the event if I don't like their moves?

[stray sorrel]

yup!

-# still trying to get my shadow mewtwo the move psychic

[honest laurel]

Good luck

Am I allowed to ask here if anyone is playing in a very certain part of the world, like where city where I live? I recently used a pogo website to match up with dozens of trainers in my area but I still don't know how to actually connect with them. I'm wondering if any of those people are in this server

[stray sorrel]

ahhhh, you know you can tries to contact them via Campfire?

[honest laurel]

I don't really know what that is or how to use it I'm afraid

[plucky sky]

Yeah the campfire app is very good for finding people near you. It's an official Niantic app that connects with pogo

Basically shows groups and stuff based on your location

And has chatting and stuff. Pretty cool

[honest laurel]

Do I get this app on my app store or somewhere else?

[plucky sky]

App store

[honest laurel]

Thanks

[plucky sky]

This is it on Google play. Can't really help with apple personally
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.campfire

[honest laurel]

The reviews on it don't look good. And for some reason, it can't find my location despite allowing it to

Is this app actually good?? Not that I doubt yall but what I'm seeing doesn't tell me a good time though...

[stray sorrel]

I love campfire personally, I have been available to to communicate a host of a raid near me, found other people to join my raid when I was hosting one with the help of Poke Genie!

And I have notification from groups near me when they do stuff so I know if it's an active group and I don't move oustide of my house for nothing

[honest laurel]

I didn't really get this question answered though. Am I allowed to ask about irl locations to meet up with people here?

[stray sorrel]

I don't think so but I'm not certain about that. It's dangerous if other malicious people know where to join you

it is still a big server with many kind of people here 🤷‍♀️

[quiet kite]

Anyone who looks through my post history here could probably figure out exactly which neighborhood I live in, but it's such a densely populated area that I don't really feel worried about it. If I wasn't in an area like this though I think I would absolutely not reveal where I was on this server

[glad niche]

No that's against server rules

[plucky sky]

I mean, the reviews are kinda meaningless...you're not buying a product or even downloading a game or consuming content. This is a tool, and it does the job it's meant to do. It connects people playing pokemon go and it's an official Niantic app. If you don't trust it, you shouldn't be playing pokemon go, because they are made and published by the same people and are part of the same ecosystem.

As for your location settings, I have no clue. I'm sure you can find some answers online for your phone as to why your location isn't showing up.

But yeah, I personally find it very useful. As someone who lives in a rural area, it's been the only way I've found people locally who also play to join up and do raids and other group activities in pogo. It's kinda like a local discord or like a local forum. It's pretty simple, but the main reason it's good is that it connects to pogo directly since both apps are from Niantic. So a lot of stuff is integrated between the 2 apps

[honest laurel]

Is shadow heatran worth it? I currently have 2 boss radar and will be getting a third from this team rocket event special research, so I've heard.
Should I go for heatran? Should I get 1 or get 2?(I don't get many boss radar so I'm sparing with them) and what would be the ideal moveset if I do get a shadow heatran?

Bonus question, can the heatran from this boss event be shiny? Just out of curiosity

[fervent pewter]

just get 1, cant be shiny

its not particularly great

[honest laurel]

Is there any news on upcoming shadow legendaries from Giovanni?

[fervent pewter]

nope

lake trio next kekw

[glad niche]

Heatran just rotated in today so don't expect anything anytime soon

[odd crag]

Yes it's good.

[distant light]

The reviews on pogo are all like “it doesn’t teach you how to walk around how do I walk in this game” so I don’t trust reviews anymore

[odd crag]

You guys have no idea how frustrating those reviews are

My apps get all kind of DUMB ASF reviews written by psych ward patients or something

[cerulean steppe]

[odd crag]

I changed it okayyyy

[plucky sky]

Confirmed reduced evo requirements for mankey cday:
https://pokemongolive.com/post/communityday-november-2024-mankey

"Limited-time Evolution requirement: you can evolve Primeape into Annihilape after catching 20 Fighting-type Pokémon with Primeape as your buddy."

[fervent pewter]

shadow rage fist primeape will be a good pick up

[glad niche]

Called rage fist

[fervent pewter]

yep is a mouthful

triple legacy shadow rage fist primeape!

[grand canopy]

what are the shiny odds for beldum and abra?

[woeful pulsar]

both 1/512 ish

[grand canopy]

ah no wonder i didnt get any beldum then, for some reason i thought it was permaboosted

[grand canopy]

thanks

[crisp relic]

.alyz. has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

[crude crag]

Beldum ll be in the December com day anyway

[grand canopy]

oh thats a great infographic, thanks!

[crisp relic]

.alyz. has given 1 Gen Rep to jojosec

[plucky sky]

Yeah usually December is a rerun for all the com days from the previous year, and Beldum just happened

So if you're missing Beldum or any of the other com days from 2023-2024, you can probably expect them in raids/eggs/spawns at some point in December if history repeats itself

[rotund copper]

• ⁠Fukuoka: in the wild
• ⁠Global: in 3 Star Raids

[plucky sky]

They haven't outright said the snorlax will only be in raids, being vague as usual, but that's what it seems like

Also for the 2 pikas:
"Ticket holders can encounter them by completing Special Research, Collection Challenges, or by taking a GO Snapshot during GO Wild Area: Global."

Which doesn't say if that's the ONLY way you can get them either

So both or either or none of them might be in the wild, but we know for sure that this is 1 way you get the pikas and snorlax will at least definitely be in raids

Niantic, vague as usual

[fervent pewter]

nah they confirmed t3 for non ticket holder

but pikas are ticket exclusive

[plucky sky]

Yeah but we don't know if either will be in the wild for ticket holders. So at this point it might be that pikas are from research and snorlax from raids and neither are in the wild, which is kinda sad

But yeah pikas are ticket holder exclusive supposedly, and snorlax raids will be available to everyone

[distant light]

lol what app

[fluid valve]

I've never had a shiny run on me yet, knock on wood, but OOF I get so nervous. Losing a shiny can be soul crushing 😭 Like that Absol I lost in moon. But I guess I got good karma cuz increased odds(i think) Shiny Absol appeared in this event 😁

[distant light]

I don’t think odds are increased, so still 1/500 for absol lol

[fluid valve]

That's AWESOME

[distant light]

Yeah lol gg on that one

[sharp finch]

I soft reset the only shiny dialga I found in the main series, I hunted it for months and was 4x over odds. It was 4 AM, and I was on BD. When I realized what I did I was just wo done, so I literally smashed the cartridge

3 months, 1 shiny that I soft reset over

[distant light]

Oof 💀💀💀

[sharp finch]

I have literally only found shiny dialga outside the main series

But then I get shiny palkia first encounter in the main series and side series

And I HATE palkia with a passion

[fluid valve]

NOOOOO aw man

eh yeah palkia isn't my favorite legendary. like its color is cool but WHY is it a water type. psychic and dragon would've been so much cooler it doesn't even have pearls on its shoulders

5 out of 10, should've been psychic type imo

[fluid valve]

I would be so pissed off too 😭😭😭

[quiet kite]

Shiny Palkia has evaded me across multiple games yes, despite my best efforts

[loud gull]

I am so ready, I have my hundo set up

[quiet kite]

Well folks, looks like shiny Zama might not happen for me. I have max'd out on remote raid passes every day it's out and done at least 10 in-person raids too, but no luck

I still have a chance tomorrow morning, but I can't participate in tonight's Raid Hour because of scheduling

[fossil basin]

Hmm..

[glad niche]

Update

[fossil basin]

By the way, does anyone want this postcard ?

[unborn garden]

Youll get it tomorrow Im sure, youve got this!

[trail cloak]

Absol is 1/64 actually

[odd crag]

Wtf

They're high asf at Niantic

[distant light]

Oops

[crude crag]

Its also perma boosted

[twin cove]

Nope, absol is 1/64

Oh nvm somebody already corrected you

[distant light]

lol

[twin cove]

I’m

[distant light]

Average pogo chat experience tho

[twin cove]

Even if absol wasn’t permaboosted it would be 1/128 because it has a mega

[distant light]

5 people responding to the same question 😭😭😭

[crude crag]

I was just adding something no one said yet🚬

[odd crag]

Oh wow they removed most pokestops from this park in Milan

Now the amount makes sense and there aren't 10 poke stops overlapping everywhere anymore

[crude crag]

Sponsor new ones😂

[candid shoal]

Finally adding Morpeko yay

[twin cove]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/halloween-part-1-2024?hl=en

[distant sable]

This is a good one

Need a shiny Hisuian Zorua and Umbreon

[distant sable]

You live in Milan that's pretty cool

You a Milan or Inter fan?

[odd crag]

Switzerland, 30 mins from Milan but I'm often here for work anyways

Milan > Inter ☠️

[fervent pewter]

boosted zorua omg

[distant sable]

Nice

I have been an AC Milan fan all my life

They're not doing that good right now but I always support them in the high and lows

[crude crag]

20>

[candid shoal]

Are any of those mega energies good BTW

IDK what megas are good in Go other than Metagross

Wait I don't think that's in yet NVM

[restive turtle]

man

[woeful pulsar]

damn lucky

[twin cove]

It’s not hisuian zorua

[twin cove]

Gengar is pretty good but all the others are not

[distant sable]

Your right I don't know what I was thinking

Regular Zorua still a pretty good shiny

[candid shoal]

Gotcha thanks

[crisp relic]

darkrai17 has given 1 Gen Rep to the_gib_g

[grand canopy]

always nice to win showcases

[glad niche]

Inserts their most recent game which was very chaotic

[glad niche]

Why don't I remember hisuian zoruas debut

Also rowlet and froakie get hats eh. Alright

[twin cove]

Because it didn’t debut… that’s normal zorua

they look so different

[glad niche]

Oh

People in #shiny_hunters be throwing me off with their talk of hisuian zorua

[slender needle]

🤩

[quiet kite]

Dynamax Ghastly? Yet another Pokemon that will get a Gigantimax form later on... Lame

[twin cove]

But hey at least it’s in t1

Will be super easy to beat

[quiet kite]

I guess it's a good chance to farm XL candies

I don't think my old shiny Mega Gengar is fully leveled yet, even

[fluid valve]

Ohhh! So Absol is permaboosted!! Neat. That explains how I got my shiny chansey too

And how I got two lickitungs lol

it would be SO cool if I could get feebas....I got it only twice. My current best buddy Milotic has 3 stars, it took FOREVER to get 100 candies

[fluid valve]

makes sense

[mortal furnace]

I hope they bring back its research day lol

[fluid valve]

IT WOULD BE AWESOME FR

[mortal furnace]

Or a water community day with fish only

[fluid valve]

Hell yeah

[distant light]

Yeah we fr need type themed comm days

[fossil basin]

Yeah since absol has a mega so ots 1/64

i still havent gotten one yet

i past the 64 mark.

over odds it seems :(

[trail cloak]

Megas are 1/128 though. Some Pokemon have just been very rare on release and kept their increased odds.

[fossil basin]

Oo

[trail cloak]

Spot the other one with increased odds

Despite having had a CD

[fossil basin]

Okay daily incense wrong birb XD

From OP: “To clarify and provide some more context, these are not my screenshots, but I have seen several various one circulating now. It appears there were three Dialga test raids that could give the Special Background and the upcoming Costume Snorlax as well, which were enabled for about 15 minutes in Japan”

[distant light]

That actually looks so good

[rotund copper]

Damn that Background is sick

[distant light]

I already have a yamask but I’ll take a Galarians one to

[midnight iris]

Did they remove the "last ball" message when capturing a raid Pokémon?

[bleak geode]

Oops

[crude crag]

Should ve left it below 2500 for ultra league tho

[lone scarab]

no

[unique grotto]

Do you still have a Master Ball? I believe getting the message is contingent on having a Master Ball available to use.

[grand canopy]

is shadow g-linoone in GL or shadow obstagoon in UL any good?

[crude crag]

Obstagoon might be okay cuz its spammy

But its really bad against meta

[midnight iris]

If so that's new because it didn't use to matter

[fervent pewter]

not particularly no

[grand canopy]

[bleak geode]

It’s my gym tank bc it has almost perfect everything but atk

Even then atk is almost max

[woeful pulsar]

[plucky sky]

Didn't we already know about this? I swear they already said they were working on something like this in a tweet like weeks ago

[loud gull]

I still remember the time this game would release events a week apart from each other

[mortal furnace]

Back when stuff felt cool 😂

Now it feels like a non stop grind

[bleak geode]

Ik this is old as hell but i found its funny when people were upset that they were upping the remote raid pass when it was only made bc covid

[lone scarab]

I think it was justified at the time cuz covid restrictions weren't lifted worldwide

Nowadays it's more understandable to promote local play

[lone scarab]

Hard rip I just got my teams upgraded for the previous change

[fossil basin]

Tell me about it lmao

I stopped playing a bit when it was a wee feebas

[rotund copper]

I was expecting my Purmple to be higher KM but I guess not…

[forest saffron]

Is it possible to evolve cubone into alolan Marowak?

[trail cloak]

It has only been possible during one specific event. No indication of when the opportunity will return

[paper reef]

All the buddies I've gotten to best friend so far.

I have like 9 more I'm currently working on. Rn my current buddy is my shiny Zacian.

Going to spend tomorrow with my gf shiny hunting Zamazenta before the raids disappear.

She already got one, so we both have one of the alternate siblings rn. I have shiny Zacian & she has shiny Zamazenta.

It's also her first shiny legendary and she squealed in such joy. I'm so happy for her for finally joining the shiny legendary club lol.

[quiet kite]

My most recent best buddy

[midnight iris]

Hey, anyone know where I can see when each raid Pokémon was available in raids?

[woeful pulsar]

pokemon go wiki is usually pretty decent for cataloguing

[midnight iris]

Thanks 👍

[crisp relic]

maxylam has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

[midnight iris]

I just missed raiding for zacian and never got the shiny one that was distributed in the main games

Just checked and last time it was available was summer 2022 😭

Might have to wait another 2 years

That is if they don't just put the crown form in raids while shiny locked lol

[hazy shuttle]

Are devices with bigger screens better for GO? Stupid question I'm sure

[twin cove]

Back then it wasn’t shiny eligible tho

Last week was the shiny debut

[crude crag]

Really depends on you

I would say unless you spoof they suck😂

Seems to be annoying to do the fast catch glitch on a ipad while walking outside

[hazy shuttle]

True.

[crude crag]

If you have problems with aiming they might be better tho

Since you can use more motions

[hazy shuttle]

I do tbh. I’m having a lot of trouble aiming curveballs. Idk what I’m doing wrong

[crude crag]

Nothing probably 😅

Sometimes you cant really fight stuff lol

[unborn garden]

It is trust me aha, my device also has display issues and gps drift, can’t do routes at all

[lone scarab]

I'd also just feel really damn weird walking around with an iPad lol

Already self conscious enough playing pokemkn on a phone in public

[midnight iris]

Well hopefully it comes back soonish

[lone scarab]

They tend not to lol

[midnight iris]

I never realized how weird that was until I met Brandon tan at a go fest, and I think he rocks one of the smaller Ipads

[rotund copper]

Kinda weird we got Shiny Zacian and Zamazenta before shiny Solgaleo and Lunala

[restive turtle]

#3 caught

[hazy shuttle]

My first ever Hundo

[glad niche]

Nice

[restive turtle]

dusk form?

[hazy shuttle]

No idea

[mortal furnace]

How many different evolutions are shown?

Looks like 2

[hazy shuttle]

Yeah, 2

[glad rover]

If two are shown then it's not dusk form, dusk form would only be shown by itself

[quiet kite]

Almost to 50

[quiet kite]

People do it all the time here in Tokyo

Especially the mini iPad

[twin cove]

ooo iPad mini would be nice to play on

Normal iPads are tougher

[crude crag]

Thats a good catch ratio tho

[quiet kite]

He's easy to catch

[fervent pewter]

BRO i already learned that tip you give me, use it in a lesson

another one kinda similar is thank you

so ty ty

[quiet kite]

I'm not good at Japanese, but I do at least have experience lol. Np

[fervent pewter]

do you work there or in school?

[quiet kite]

My wife is Japanese, I work here

[lone scarab]

weird pop up

[livid sky]

What’s this mega mawile raid day thing

[distant light]

If you tried clicking on a gym, it means the irl gym is under construction. They just don’t want people walking into construction sites lol

[lone scarab]

you can read about it in the in-game event tab

[distant light]

Every raid is a mega mawile with 1/10 shiny odds from 2-5 tomorrow, and it’s at every gym with an instant reset

[livid sky]

Ah

[lone scarab]

it was from a remote invite so weird how someone was allowed to start it lol

[distant light]

Yeah that’s really strange… ||hacks||

[mortal furnace]

You can get 6 free raid passes through spinning the gyms during event time

But still only hold 1 at a time

[quiet kite]

Folks, don't let your dreams be dreams

51 raids in, finally popped

[distant light]

Oof 51 raids sucks. I’ve never done that many raids for something lol, usually I just do one raid per boss using my free pokecoins for a remote, but if there are any near me then ofc I’ll do them.

[quiet kite]

I usually only go full whale for events but I really wanted Zacian and Zamazenta shinies

[distant light]

So did I lol, but I couldn’t go to any raid hours and I don’t like spending money on rng

If I’m spending money it’s on a pass or something not pokecoins

[quiet kite]

I don't buy coins, I just buy bundles or tickets

Coins are a scam

[muted ginkgo]

Anybody ever had fun sending out resisted rock wreckers from a shadow rhyperior in the Sunshine Cup? (I sure have XD)

[torpid fjord]

I hope i get lucky with shiny giratina

I stopped doing Dynamax adventures and soft resetting because of giratina and going waaay over odds

[quiet kite]

Dynamax adventures suuuuuuck

[glad niche]

Ooh new gym

[fluid valve]

Hey uhhhh you think a Mega Mawile Ticket is worth it? 8 raid passes for 5 dollars?

Oof wait theyre LOCAL raid passes aren't they 💀

[fervent pewter]

yea imo only worth if you doing a ton of raids for rare xls

[crude crag]

How many coins are 5dollars for you

For me its 6€ that would be 550 coins and 69 coins per pass so definitely not worth it for the passes especially since you cant keep them for other Pokemon

[trail cloak]

So only if really like Mawile and/or want rare XLs

[lone scarab]

If it wasn't mawile I'd consider it lol

Without huge power couldn't care less for its mega

[grand canopy]

its super cute tho

[late edge]

it’s not possible to get shiny bird anymore is it-

[woeful pulsar]

gbirbs are permanent

[late edge]

oh ok

[distant light]

That’s not what it means, it means an existing gym you tried to interact with is under construction, so not safe to go near.

[glad niche]

Source?

[distant light]

Me clicking on gyms at construction sites

[plucky sky]

I actually get that popup a lot for gyms that exist already and don't have raids going. Usually when I'm moving too quickly with my actions for the game. Exiting the game and trying again usually results in it working. It's just a generic error for gyms not being available and can be caused by a number of reasons

Doesn't necessarily have to do with anything about the gym or area specifically. Could just be the game can't access that gym for some reason, which can be for a number of reasons including just glitches

[patent epoch]

What are the shiny odds of the Dynamax raids?

[plucky sky]

Should be the same as normal raids

For the 3 starters available rn, 0% because they're not available shiny in pogo yet

[fluid valve]

yeahhhh i don't raid often, i shouldn't go for it. plus its raining cats and dogs

[lone scarab]

One more day and he'll be a bestie

Still need 24 candy tho

[crude crag]

Just throw them all in gyms and feed them berries every 30min😭

[fervent pewter]

i love mega mawile sadly only got to do 2

[restive turtle]

joined a raid with like four other people but I was put in a different lobby by myself

[crude crag]

That sucks did you tell them so they would quit the lobby?😅
