[plucky sky]

Didn't we already have shadow regigigas from a research or something?

I swear I have one on my account

[lone scarab]

Think so

I remember lucario steamrolling the team

[plucky sky]

But yeah, a rerun is very likely. I just know Darkrai fits with the Gen 4 theme with Cres and Heatran. We honestly have no clue. They went from Groundon and Kyogre to those, so

With how much they like Palkia and Dialga and box arts in general, I'm almost surprised they didn't do shadows of those after the gen 3s

[quiet kite]

Yes

I'm considering transferring my shiny Darkrai out to SV. it almost never sees use in PoGo; there are many better ghost or dark types

[restive turtle]

nah keep it and max it

it's just neat

[quiet kite]

It could be neat in SV too

No way am I going to grind for XLs for Darkrai when I could be doing it for more useful pokemon

[lone scarab]

I ain't transferring mine

[fossil basin]

The zoura transformations are awesome XD

[fervent pewter]

poke ball darkrai

wheres the fog guy at 😂

[unborn garden]

I have never seen fog in pogo ever

That feels illegal to see

[glad niche]

It's very rare. If the weather system was better it'd probably show up more

[autumn copper]

That's lucky

[autumn copper]

A week ago it was foggy weather in rl but the game thought it was windy weather.....

[fervent pewter]

not shiny

[indigo crest]

Rip

[quiet kite]

My personal theory is that the game pulls weather from a random weather station's data in a given area and blankets the entire region in that weather. Because we get a lot of rain in-game here when there's no rain at all; the closest rain is out at sea

[indigo crest]

Bro I’m stocking up in coins

Waiting for zacian to use remote raids

[fervent pewter]

fog is pretty common here in the northeast in fall-winter

maybe 1 hr a day most mornings

(in game )

[woeful pulsar]

iirc it's accuweather that pogo pulls from to aggregate weather data. i remember it was investigated a long time ago and there's maps that can predict the pogo weather based on that data

[fervent pewter]

you can also report it to niantic

[tacit gust]

fog is in the morning

6 to 9 am

[woeful pulsar]

i don't think your weather is what's global

[tacit gust]

what time do you wake up?

i thought it is common knowledge

[trail cloak]

Weather is indeed pulled from AccuWeather and it is linked to S2 cells (each level 10 cell has its own weather), just like everything else in PoGo

[woeful pulsar]

i don't think you're understanding. if it's sunny for you, it's not necessarily sunny for someone on the other side of the world. or even a country or state over. so if it's foggy for you...

[trail cloak]

Here's an example of these cells. Move from one to the next and the weather might change!

[woeful pulsar]

example of a weather difference between cells live rn

[uncut trail]

[indigo crest]

4200 cp 😭😭

My stardust is suffering

[tacit gust]

you're so wrong

i dont know what to say

[woeful pulsar]

sure

[indigo crest]

?

I don’t think you know how weather works

[woeful pulsar]

i wouldn't it's playing chess with a chicken

[tacit gust]

yall don't want to admit you don't wake up early

[cerulean steppe]

6am is early?

[trail cloak]

I think the fog may be in your brain

[woeful pulsar]

again guys. chess with a chicken. not worth it

[tacit gust]

going out at 9 pm pray for my life

want to crack an egg

[tacit gust]

i said it bc before that time its not safe going outside

alone like me

[tacit gust]

i got a halloween pichu earlier

[tacit gust]

i still have my first pokemon with me i got on 24th july 2016

it was charmander

now it is charmeleon

[fervent pewter]

pog

i got mine saved too

[alpine cape]

I did it! I'm so happy

[twin cove]

Fyi Costume gengar has been taken out of raids and put into field research: win a raid

[crude crag]

Wow😭how hard does a raid need to fail to be changed into a field research

[lone scarab]

Was it like too hard for brand new people to solo or was it buggy or something

Cuz gengars a pretty simple boss lol

[fervent pewter]

some spooky wins

back on front page grind

[glad niche]

Right

[twin cove]

It wasn’t failing, they needed a way to make sure it doesn’t give you a costume gengar after beating the gmax battle this weekend

In fact the raids were pretty popular online for hosting

[crude crag]

Really? It has been out a lot already

[crude crag]

💀💀💀💀

[twin cove]

Yeah i saw 30+ queues for it

[ocean orbit]

Yeah I’m fucking pissed

Literally the only costume mon I wanted

And it’s dumb asf it’s in research now too win a fucking raid

There ain’t shit to raid now

[tacit gust]

havking

[tacit gust]

i have this one... but i cant just win a raid

[ocean orbit]

Do a 1 star

It’s so fucking stupid they removed it from raids

[tacit gust]

that i do but there is also issues with timing

[ocean orbit]

Timing?

Then just do one when you can or remote something

[honest laurel]

Should I switch any of these moves on my shadow Empoleon?

[lone scarab]

I feel like it's gotta know hydro cannon right? Would need an elite tm tho

Most starters are all about the cd moves

[honest laurel]

Would surf suffice?

Trade flash cannon for surf

[crude crag]

It doesn’t have surf

[woeful pulsar]

[tacit gust]

my pokemon

tomorrow im leaving

on the the bus

can i hatch pokemon on the way?

[glad niche]

If its going less than 25mph yes

[crude crag]

They should keep the dodge, stardust and catchrate boost

[distant light]

How hard is Gengar tho

That took me so long to type bc I did this to my keyboard

Yeah I give up I’m changing it back

[cursive wing]

Why oh why Pokémon go, do you allow event Pokémon to be shiny but also not transferable to Pokémon home 😃

[crude crag]

Which country is that😭😭😭😭

[distant light]

None

It’s supposedly faster

I changed it back to qwerty tho

It’s called Dvorak

[crude crag]

Muscle memory probably stops you from mastering it anyway lol

[plucky sky]

Yeah it's supposed to be faster, but if you've been using qwerty for your whole life, I feel like any potential speed improvements will be outweighed by the hit to your current speed from losing muscle memory

[distant light]

That’s why I gave up it took me 5 minutes to type abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

[fossil basin]

People are getting falsely banned once again cause gmax gengar

What is happening

[obsidian ember]

dunno

[fossil basin]

Most bans are android based but why happen in first place

[restive turtle]

there's no fucking way

(I'm not doing gmax battles anyway)

[distant light]

How hard is gengar tho

[tacit gust]

dont ban me please

[tacit gust]

there are two 1 star raids nearby i must go

[restive turtle]

sorry but your fate has already been sealed

[tacit gust]

i reached lvl 27

[tacit gust]

on the bus rn wish me safe journey

[grand canopy]

looks kinda cool i cant lie

[quiet kite]

Just got STOMPED by G-max Gengar

[fossil basin]

Great game

[cyan fable]

bro found the Pixar studios secret ending

[glad niche]

They are seriously failing at catching spoofers

They need to sort their system out

[glad niche]

Not that hard

If you know what you're doing and you have a group of level 50 people. 5-6 people

Otherwise, about 10 will do

[tacit gust]

when does one find ditto

[quiet kite]

It can be hard to find Ditto when you're looking for one, but trust me if you keep playing you will find one someday

[glad niche]

LeekDuck has a page on what the disguises are
Prioritise catching those pokemon

[glad niche]

Update: It is doable with 4

[charred rapids]

Hoi @glad niche you like PoGo right? Do you have any tips on how to find raid invitations QwQ

[glad niche]

Uuuhhhh use campfire or other apps like pokegenie

[charred rapids]

Do I search in google/safari?

[charred rapids]

And which one is more reliable (Apps)

[glad niche]

Yes and idk which is more reliable
Probably pokegenie

[charred rapids]

Do you use pokegenie

[glad niche]

No I dont use any raid app I don't do raids that much anymore

[charred rapids]

I kinda don’t trust those apps where you use your Google/Apple etc account

[glad niche]

Your choice

I'd get a second option personally

[crude crag]

Use leek duck its an website

[glad rover]

Darkrai's around till November 4th right? Not fully remembering the days

[crude crag]

Poke genie wont require login either

[charred rapids]

It tells me to login with Google / Apple

With poke genie

[crude crag]

Wrong app then

You only need your friend code for genie

[charred rapids]

Do I Google it? Because I tried app store

[crude crag]

App store is fine

It has 14k reviews

Nearly 5 stars

Oh thats my store😂 idk how i sent a universal store link for app store

[fervent pewter]

pokegenie 🐐

[charred rapids]

Can any of you help me with darkrai code

QwQ

[distant light]

Yeah I might actually be able to get one 🔥🔥🔥

[muted ginkgo]

It would be kinda cool if they brought milcery into the game for a february community, and on that day they would also have G-Max alcreamie. Not saying its going to happen but it would be cool. (Maybe a Unique Fast Move for alcreamie in Decorate, Idk)

there are other mons that would fit better

[tacit gust]

okay im off the bus now

it was a long ride

[odd crag]

I use pokeraid

[tacit gust]

i didn't get much benefit as i thought

bus was too fast i could only hatch 1 egg of 2 km

in 250km ride

at some places there was network problem and i also had to switch off to maintain my phone battery

this was my day

thanks for watching

like and share

[ornate rune]

How much easier is gengar compared to the starters?

[delicate sparrow]

Has been beaten with 4 from what I've seen online

[glad niche]

Very easier

[distant light]

Possible

[ornate rune]

Goddamn

[plucky sky]

Probably a more comfortable clear with 6, especially if you don't have all level 50 and 2/2+ dyna mons, but 4 is possible

Still not clearing with 1, but 4-6 is a whole lot better than 20-40

I hope they keep this. Afaik, this is a trial run. They've said nothing about this being permanent, but we can hope

[trail cloak]

The trick here is to keep fishing for a good moveset on the Gengar. You can back out and reroll on its moves. Once you roll Sludge/Psychic, Metagross never dies

[distant light]

I’m hoping to be able to go out on Sunday if there’s any meetups on campfire

[plucky sky]

Same, hoping to go out this weekend

[distant light]

Just realized I’m busy on Sunday

I hate my schedule I literally have no days off during the day and the afternoon

I wake up at 6 am and don’t get home until 8 pm 😭😭

[quiet kite]

Tiny tiny

[twin cove]

Btw India pikachu (for the special event) is remoteable

[minor chasm]

The official instagram posted this, but it doesn't seem to work in the code redeem

[tacit gust]

tiny or huge event pokemon suck bc you cant transfer them to home

[tacit gust]

what is an india pikachu?

im not aware of this

damn i looked up

whose idea was it?

[woeful pulsar]

mine

4ppl gmax gengar strat😭

[fervent pewter]

😴

[plucky sky]

Yeah like I said earlier, it's possible, but not consistent. It's like those duos of shadow legend raids we've seen in the past. 6 is far more reasonable. Much better than 20-40 though

[fervent pewter]

still not worth me to spend 1 milly dust on a team

rework waiting room

[plucky sky]

Fair lol

[trail cloak]

Build the shiny

[fervent pewter]

i ran out of dust

[trail cloak]

[fervent pewter]

6~ years later i finally have a full team for raids

still no hundo

[trail cloak]

Only 4 at/over 40 but...

The very first Beldum CD it was windy so I've simply used traded level 35s for years (and the one lucky hundo)

[fervent pewter]

we need to step up our metagross'

[trail cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/solgaleo-necrozma-gif-20456166

[tacit gust]

what am i getting out of this?

i hope to get at least 200

[trail cloak]

best I can do is 50 coins

[glad rover]

I really only have most of my Pokémon stay in gyms for at least a day or 2, I've never really reached a 3 day streak and you don't get bonus coins for it so not really a benefit for it

[crude crag]

8h 20min are 50 coins, which is the daily limit. Everyday one of them get‘s kicked out it would be 50 coins pretty much

[halcyon plume]

So it is just impossible to get G-Max Gengar, right

[crude crag]

No, why would you say that?

[halcyon plume]

I don't even know 1 person irl who actually plays this game regularly

Who's the social butterfly who knows 9?

[crude crag]

You dont have to, you just need to walk downtown and hope people play pogo😂

Use camp fire

[halcyon plume]

There's, like, 1 person who can make campfire events near me, and it's still 9 miles away

[fervent pewter]

travel to nearest metro area?

[halcyon plume]

I live in one of the 2 cities in my state

[crude crag]

If you dont have a choice you still have one method left

Otherwise you wont need them anyway, until they release legendaries for max den‘s at least

But will they?

[fervent pewter]

are you in alaska? 😂

[halcyon plume]

What are even the requirements to be able to schedule campfire events?

[fervent pewter]

become an ambassador or smth? not sure

[halcyon plume]

Kansas

[fervent pewter]

kc / topeka?

i had pretty good success in kc

maybe check for local facebook group / discord

[trail cloak]

A friend in KC said there was a huge group for Kanto last weekend

He did ~15 on Sunday

[glad niche]

Yeah you gotta enrol in the ambassadors programme

[trail cloak]

Looks like any idiot can create one for their area

[glad niche]

Can't for my area
Must have everyone enabled for your area

[unique grotto]

Ambassador isn't required to make an event, just to have the event reward bonus MP for checking in.

[distant light]

Guys they nerfed particle collection smh

[plucky sky]

[lone scarab]

Oh yay so I can do a gmax raid in infinity years

Same as when it was 800 a day tbh

[crude crag]

Just take over your local tv station and brainwash the old people into playing Pokemon Go /jk

I got 2 shine pumpkaboo and a pika

[fossil basin]

Well thats silly

a zoura went xxs shiny pumpkaboo on me but it turned xxl later XD

my buddy is xxl event shiny pumpkaboo adter all

[odd crag]

Did I just see an Indian pikachu on raids?

[distant light]

I already got my monthly shiny on the 7th lol

Hoping to get another shiny this month

[fossil basin]

Yeah they just relased

[fossil basin]

I can’t decide who to mega

98 dynamax gengar or 96 gmax gengar

[distant light]

Gmax

U only have to invest in one mon

[fossil basin]

Also this screenshot is funny

[fossil basin]

Alright thank you

[crisp relic]

dubiousdelphine has given 1 Gen Rep to andrewhettler

[fossil basin]

yay free rep XD

[distant light]

Rep is so useful 🔥🔥🔥

Idk what I would do without it

[quiet kite]

G-max Gengar battles are wild. Sometimes it's real easy, sometimes it's so hard

[ocean orbit]

Yeah seems like it depends on the move set

The group I lead today we had to back out if it was psychic or shadow ball

If it’s using focus blast or sludge bomb it’s way easier

[lone scarab]

i imagine if its shadow ball everything fucked lol

if its psychic metagross lives if its focus d/gmax gengar lives, nice dual options

[tacit gust]

its a gen 8 bad gimmic

[tacit gust]

hello? anyone

[quiet kite]

Yes, I was a part of a group of 40 that got shredded by Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball today

[plucky sky]

What

[tacit gust]

i forgot

is indian pikachu even real? can you tell me more about it?

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/festival-of-lights-2024/ here's the post explaining it

[honest laurel]

Best shadow Empoleon moveset? I'm gonna teach it Hydro Cannon but I don't know if I should get rid of drill peck or flash cannon

[lone scarab]

They're really really close to the same for pve I think, drills a little better but for types sake I'd use flash cannon instead. And have metal claw as a fast move

Pve spam of drill peck makes it better I'd imagine

[fervent pewter]

waterfall hydro cannon drill peck

good pacing

[indigo crest]

Worst take I’ve heard

[odd crag]

Yeah and every gen has its unique gimmick anyways

[tacit gust]

i won't be able to send you people gifts for some time

[odd crag]

💀

[crude crag]

What is gen 1‘s unique gimmick

Speed crit chance maybe

I like the each type is split in physical or special😂

[distant light]

The game existing I think

The other gens just copied

[crude crag]

Thats what makes it not unique

[odd crag]

Lack of psychic counter lol

[twin cove]

Shiny smoliv hypeeeeee

I hope December has some cool spotlights like treecko or cubchoo

[crude crag]

Combee will give 2.250 stardust per catch

With starpiece

[indigo crest]

I am short on stardust but

I WANT COOL SHINIES

😡😡😡😡😡

[tacit gust]

nice more trades for me

[trail cloak]

Combee is a pain in the ass to catch, though

[unborn garden]

halloween event just ended for me, miss it already didnt get the rowlet :(

[unborn garden]

the pikachu raids are hard to join damn, just want one for dex aha

[cyan fable]

have you tried an app called Go Raid Party? it's my favourite raid app, got into 3 pika saree raids this morning no trouble at all

this one

much prefer it to pokegenie, the ui is more simple and unless it's a really rare mon that's just dropped you can usually get into raids no trouble

[unborn garden]

Ill give it a shot thanks :)

[unborn garden]

it worked thanks!

Im going to do three bc I have the passes :>

[cyan fable]

nice! got my fingers crossed a shiny one comes your way 🤞

[unborn garden]

thanks aha, sadly no shinies but all 3 stars at least :)

I wish you luck if you are doing more!

[tacit gust]

did lots of walking

fought lots of team rocket grunts
got some charmander candies
came back

is there something like shiny charm in this game how some people have so many shinies

[plucky sky]

No. It's just that people play daily and community days and other events boost odds

[fervent pewter]

just play a lot over a long period of time

[tacit gust]

i guess thats it

[tacit gust]

done with this game it came out

[twin cove]

It’s not super rare, don’t worry

Sneasel has 1/64 shiny odds

[glad niche]

Do you not have any stops around you
Or your daily box
Or any gifts?

[tacit gust]

i bought pokeballs but still i don't feel good about it

why did it have to spawn when i didn't have any pokeballs?

im done but will go to get charmander or pikachu candy

[lone scarab]

If you're that low and use the daily incense it brings you ton30 pokeballs ffr

[tacit gust]

found a shiny trubbish in few minutes after sneasel encounter

[tacit gust]

idk why but i spent lots of pokeballs today on halloween pokemon it felt like it was harder to catch those

[glad niche]

Does it?

[lone scarab]

Ye if you're sub 30 between poke/great/ultra combined it gives you enough pokeballs to reach 30

[tacit gust]

i will try that tomorrow

[unborn garden]

Masterballs count for that as well

Ah sorry for the @

[lone scarab]

that's kinda stupid but at least there ain't many lol

[sudden basin]

LF shiny genesect
FT other shiny legends

[odd crag]

So how do you plan to trade?

[unborn garden]

Very aha, found out the hard way

[unborn garden]

Genesect can't be traded in pogo and 100m trade distance as well

[glad niche]

Won't work

[lone scarab]

One message was enough lol

[twin cove]

[plucky sky]

I don't know if anyone said this yet, but that won't work

[quiet kite]

We need a PoGo Trade Police role

[lone scarab]

[odd crag]

I support this motion

[quiet kite]

Like, 20 people whose only job is to post "that doesn't work" in reply to any trade offer here lol

Im sure someone will do it eventually

One of the nicest parts about dmax is being able to recall your mons from a stop

[balmy elm]

mhm

i wish u could recall a pokemon from a gym

[loud gull]

hi is the event for costumed flower pokemon coming soon?

like cubone

[tacit gust]

guys they said my incense would last 3 hours why they lie

[lone scarab]

where they say that

[unborn garden]

Only com days and special events

[unborn garden]

There's a event on the 7th idk about costume cubone tho

[loud gull]

yikes then no day of the dead event

[quiet kite]

day of the dead is dead

[tawny cove]

Maybe it’s just me. I thought these raid legendary pokemon are a 100% catch rate?

[quiet kite]

Shiny raid Pokemon, yes

[unborn garden]

Shiny pokemon are guaranteed catch in premier ball, regular legends are not 100%

[midnight iris]

I've been trying to get a saree Pikachu this whole event but the raids seem very rare, I get no invites

[lone scarab]

They should be active in India atm, just gotta find some sort of raid app to find lobbies really

[unborn garden]

I used this to get my 3 in :>

[glad niche]

Only in Mexico I think

[twin cove]

That was a local event only

Those costumes usually don’t go global

[loud gull]

Aw at least I still have the ones from 2023.

[balmy elm]

FINALLY ITS OUT

[indigo crest]

Aw man

I missed out on the shiny event froakie

[odd crag]

Indeed

[tacit gust]

it is rare i didn't see one whole day

but i fell asleep in late in the afternoon

this event is great for stardust but where do i get pokeballs from man

[noble coral]

pokestops and gifts mostly

[plucky sky]

I use the autocatcher and go for a drive daily, and have a massive excess of pokeballs. It really adds up tbh

[midnight iris]

1k plus queue =/ just don't have the time to wait it out

[noble coral]

ye same, I use the pokeball plus when going for a walk with my dog and get more pokeballs than I catch pokemons

[plucky sky]

Exactly, I still catch mons, but I end up deleting pokeballs because I just don't use them fast enough

[plucky sky]

You could try one of the other apps without queues. Go raid party or pokeraid both are just about refreshing+clicking fast

If you're willing to click for 10 minutes straight, you end up getting in. Better than an endless queue

[midnight iris]

I always use pokeraid and tried it first with auto join aka queue, too many people and a cute Pikachu is not enough to make me sit and press refresh lol, maybe next year

[lone scarab]

I got 2 in about 10mins with pokeraid lol, and some of that was doing the 1st one

[lone scarab]

Btw I notice the last raid day is Feb 15th, so I guess they got a second brain cell and put enamorus a day later?

[plucky sky]

Incoming elite raids again

[lone scarab]

id hope doing that daily wouldn't have good odds

[plucky sky]

Daily what now

[crude crag]

Depends on where you live, also I would say higher odds rather than good tho

[plucky sky]

[muted ginkgo]

Should i Max my Shiny 98% Mamoswine (15/15/14)?

[crude crag]

Its a top tier raid attacker

The shadow is better tho

Its not that great in pvp so you decide lol

[muted ginkgo]

i got on the com day, but ive been running short on stardust every single time i get close

3600 stardust every one win in the GBL has helped me get it to lvl 40

[crude crag]

The combee spotlight hour will be huge, 2250 per catch with a star piece on

[muted ginkgo]

thats something im looking forward too

i hope i wont regret this lol

[crude crag]

What level are you

[muted ginkgo]

42...

[crude crag]

The requirements for level 47 are max 3 Pokemon

Ig it ll take you awhile until then 😂

So no worries about maxing one now

[muted ginkgo]

yeah...

[lone scarab]

Hoping to get some ttar candy before I hit the exp req

Been seeing some but haven't been getting the XLs

Worst case will just pump another garch

[muted ginkgo]

One with the ground, mad respect

Interesting home spawn, would have been amazing if it was shiny aha

[tacit gust]

can a 1 star pokemon be good at battles?

bc i plan to use one

[unborn garden]

They can be

In pvp you want low attack ivs like 0/15/15 on some pokemon

[tacit gust]

i dont wanna regret spending my candy on trash pokemon

its like 6 6 6

it has 1 star i was gonna call it 1 trick pony

[tacit gust]

i had a gligar like that it was good but i moved it to pokemon scarlet

it wasn't zero but 1 or 2

[unborn garden]

rip

[unborn garden]

yeah I dont power things up unless they are around 90% ivs min usually

[tacit gust]

2 one star raids near me in 20 min lets go

[tacit gust]

i like miltank

normal is better

[unborn garden]

I have a friend who absolutely despises miltank and its shiny especially aha its funny :)

[plucky sky]

A blue cow on two legs is objectively funny. Can't say I like it, but it's a funny mon

[distant light]

Noooooo gligar is insane in PvP 😭😭😭

[tacit gust]

i knew it was good but i was mad at that time

[tacit gust]

there was a mass outbreak?

[unique grotto]

Spotlight hour happens every Tuesday night. Most spawns switch to the featured Pokémon and some additional bonus applies. This week is double release candy from 6 to 7 PM local.

[tacit gust]

didn't know any of that

i should read more

[crude crag]

Maybe a nest, it ll keep spawning this Pokemon for a week or so

Its nice when you are on break or something, you can sweep them real quick and come back later again to catch a new batch but this mon isnt really good stuff lol

[trail cloak]

Tuesday and it was between 6 and 7; definitely Spotlight Hour

[glad niche]

Japanese twitter tweeted about Eternatus coming soon

[stray sorrel]

source?

[midnight iris]

Did they confirm that?

It was just a generic image of a dynamax cloud

[glad niche]

Another discord server and pogos Japanese twitter

[glad niche]

No but I believe you can see it's hand in the cloud

[midnight iris]

You definitely can't my guy

[lone scarab]

Eternatus: 50+ people to beat
Lobby size: max 40

[glad niche]

Actually no you can't see it but with the stormy background one can assume it's eternatus

Been too curious and that's the post in question

[midnight iris]

Idk feels way too early but we'll see

[glad niche]

Well we have Zacian and Zamazenta in the game
Eternatus completes that trio
We have gigantamax now

What do the comments say under the post I don't have twitter

[twin cove]

This is what was at the location

You should join pokeminers, they discuss stuff like that right when it comes out

Also yeah this is the translation

[outer cairn]

eternatus will need 100 players with level 51 counters :)

[unborn garden]

Could be the final part of the research

[outer cairn]

true

[plucky sky]

In person only

Obviously

[unborn garden]

Watch it be amazing for dmax and you can only get one potentially horrible one

[outer cairn]

and eternatus can use a move that wipes the whole board

[plucky sky]

[unborn garden]

Dynamax cannon or smth like that

[outer cairn]

cant forget the shiny, it will be released through timed research that required 10 gmax battles to be won :)

[outer cairn]

nah, eternabeam

[unborn garden]

And cost like $20

[unborn garden]

Well dynamax cannon is its unique move in SwSh

[raw bison]

How tf do I catch this

[twin cove]

Up close

[crude crag]

Hold the ball higher before throwing it

[raw bison]

Tried that

Dw I caught it, just had to wait for it to come up close

[tawny cove]

Is it good to transfer low CP legendary Pokémon? For this 2x candy event

By low CP. I mean low 2 to 0 star IV

[glad rover]

It also gets eternabeam at level 88 in SwSh, for some reason the move was removed in SV though

[unborn garden]

ah cool!

[tacit gust]

1 star raid in 30 min

[tacit gust]

its shinx im not interested

[tacit gust]

im gonna transfer all mythical and legendary pokemon to home

[tacit gust]

i traded my haunter to evolve it now i can't get it back what the freak game

[glad niche]

Trades in go are a one time thing

[unborn garden]

And they randomise their ivs

[indigo crest]

Because dynamax isn’t in S/V

[glad rover]

It's signature move is called Dynamax cannon, eternabeam is different but I guess kinda get what you mean since it temporarily is the eternamax form when it uses that move only

[indigo crest]

Yeah, sadly all the gen 8 legendaries got their signature move’s second effect trashed in s/v too

[cyan fable]

Anyone else excited for the Harvest Festival event tomorrow?

I just need one more exeggcute I’ve had this research since the birth of mankind

[twin cove]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/simply-groundbreaking-2024?hl=en

[charred rapids]

Me but with the 3 whismur:

[fossil basin]

Collection tasks

For harvest week.

1. Catch a single smoll pumpkaboo
2. Catch a single average pumpkaboo
3. Catch a single large Pumpkaboo
4. Catch a single Super Pumpkaboo

5. Catch pumpkaboo, bunnelby, smoliv & milktank

Gl finding shiny smoliv!

[loud gull]

gonna be hunting this

[distant light]

Imma be on a vacation somewhere non-rural tomorrow for 2 days so I’m hoping to get some raids

[fossil basin]

Gl

[muted ginkgo]

Is morpeko any good for the UL? (when it rolls around anyway)

[fossil basin]

Really hard to say

[muted ginkgo]

ill find out when it happens ig

[fossil basin]

Apparently you can just cheese a rocket grunt with a single morpeko

and the training battles

[muted ginkgo]

thundershock+fangs right?

[fossil basin]

yep

idk how would that work in pvp

[muted ginkgo]

sounds op lol

[fossil basin]

the form change stalls out time so you can charge a bit before attacking

and fangs - defence.

[muted ginkgo]

honestly, i havent used morpeko in any league yet

[loud gull]

definitaly have as your buddy

[muted ginkgo]

ill fluctuate between my shiny 98 mamo and peko, ty

[loud gull]

and I will place my hundo costumed froakie as my buddy

[muted ginkgo]

honestly kinda sick, the only thing i wanted from the event in terms of ivs was a 100iv costumed rowlet (i didnt get it)

[wintry echo]

I just wanted shiny costume rowlet (also didn't get it)

[muted ginkgo]

all i wanted was the little green birb wearing the tophat...

why game why

technically, i still have eggs so its a small possibility

[wintry echo]

What mon is this?

Its in a few of my eggs but I can't tell what it is

[muted ginkgo]

pichu wearing a witchs hat

[wintry echo]

Ohh

[muted ginkgo]

morpeko doesnt even seem to appear on the pvpoke UL rankings lol

[trail cloak]

No shot, it doesn't have the stats to compete. It's squishier than Tapu Koko, for reference

[muted ginkgo]

well, looks like im stupid enough to use it

[trail cloak]

When level 60 comes around, its typing and broken move would be good enough

[muted ginkgo]

im all for some useless lvl 50s tho XD

for now

[trail cloak]

It's not SO terrible that it's unusable, like Dedenne, so if you got the XLs then it could be fun

[tacit gust]

i got my fav pokemon today

electabuzz

pink egg nearby lets go

[tacit gust]

found a shiny bunny just now

[tacit gust]

ugly one

[torpid fjord]

Is miltank only in raids

[crude crag]

No, they spawn pretty frequently for me

[torpid fjord]

I didnt even know you could find a venusaur from the daily incense

[lone scarab]

I found like 20 miltank while wandering around ye

weirdly only saw like 1 exeggucute but that gotta be a coincidence

[rotund copper]

Reports indicate that Pumpkaboo is not currently shiny boosted

Niantic most likely forgot

[quiet kite]

Mega Gengar's feet

[fossil basin]

I got 1 xxl shine pumpka yesterday. So it was 1/500?

Not boosted?

[plucky sky]

You either got really lucky or the reports are wrong. Wouldn't be the first time that they forgot to boost odds OR that reports of low shiny rates were wrong. So could go either way

[fossil basin]

[lone scarab]

I'm hearing make up event before it's even over lol

[woeful pulsar]

or no acknowledgment like the umbreon/espeon thing

[tacit gust]

farming

[tacit gust]

didn't know that i can only do 1 raid per day

there are 3 pink eggs nearby 2 of them are shadow

[lone scarab]

You get 1 free raid pass if you get premiums and stuff or during events you can do more

[tacit gust]

you think 3 star chansey is soloable?

[quiet kite]

Depends on your team

Chansey is high defense so it could pretty easily wall you if your team is untrained

[trail cloak]

Chansey and high defense do not go in one sentence together

It should be a very easy solo if you have even just one good Fighting Pokémon. Lucario for example should be able to solo it in half time

[unborn garden]

It has super high hp, a team of fighting types can do beat it tho

[plucky sky]

It's defense isn't high at all. I think you're thinking of hp. It has very high hp, but mediocre defense

[quiet kite]

Don't ping me over semantics again

[plucky sky]

Any team of fighting mons and/or a mega Lucario should be able to do it

[plucky sky]

What?

[trail cloak]

It's not semantics; raids have a set amount of HP and therefore the HP stat of a Pokemon matters zero, but a defense stat of a Pokemon matters a lot.

[plucky sky]

Hp vs def is pretty important, yeah

It's like saying atk and hp are the same thing

[trail cloak]

Hence why T5 Guzzlord and T3 Shuckle are pretty close in difficulty

[quiet kite]

I did not say "Chansey has a high defense stat," and outside of conversations that are about the actual stats I don't think it's unreasonable to say "Chansey is defensively oriented as opposed to offensively." And I will not debate this further

[plucky sky]

Now you're literally the only one here arguing semantics "is high defense" vs "has a high defense stat". It's really not a big deal. Sometimes people mess up wording or information. But you don't have to get so aggro and defensive over it when someone corrects you

Anyway, how are people liking the harvest event? Anyone get anything good?

[tacit gust]

its a tank

nurse pokemon

[fervent pewter]

bro really snapped over saying chansey is defensive

[tacit gust]

its a defensive pokemon if it has relaxed nature and holding an eviolite

found a shiny pumpkin btw

tell me if i can transfer purified pokemon to home

[trail cloak]

Confirmed

[lone scarab]

since special defense and defense get combined in PoGo its defense isn't so incredibly miserable, but it is the same as luvdisc and dunsparce lol

[plucky mesa]

Still need a the Ocean pattern Vivillon KEKW

[sharp finch]

Ah yes don't give me boosted but this full odds for the 4th time

[plucky sky]

Bro blocked me over it I've never met a person who got so mad over a chansey

[plucky sky]

I'm missing Tundra and it seems so rare

[fervent pewter]

Don't ping me over semantics again

[plucky sky]

[fervent pewter]

ngl imma start using that line

[plucky sky]

It's low key hilarious

idt interest is that great, they probably shouldn't be yeeting stuff lol

[distant light]

They gonna say anything about the ultra beast raids they talked about in the blog post

[tacit gust]

since when shiny treecko looked so good

[tacit gust]

is lugia worth catching?

[plucky sky]

I think it's pretty good in Master League. Outside of that, just for collection purposes.

[indigo crest]

Once

Other than that grind in master league for it

If you don’t you get 15 morpekos 🥲

[trail cloak]

It's typically pretty good in ML but currently the meta is pretty hostile. (Rhyperior, Yveltal, fairies, Necrozma, etc.)

[fervent pewter]

sky attack nerf didnt help too

doubt it gets a favorable meta again

[lone scarab]

[stable torrent]

Are the requirements to evolve Primeape the same during the community day?

[coarse sundial]

man no one in my town play pokemon go so i cant do any raids 😭

and I dont have any remote raid passses

[unborn garden]

It'll be catch 20 fighting types while it's your buddy

[lone scarab]

I should probably make some pokemon storage space eh

[stray sorrel]

You can always use Poke Genie or PokeRaid to find other players players willing to use their remote passed while you are the host

[unborn garden]

very good idea aha, how many spaces do you have overall?

[cyan fable]

the monkes are coming

https://tenor.com/view/mankeymonday-gif-23876365

do we get more stardust during comm day as well? i'm poor af

[unborn garden]

no stardust boost sadly

[cyan fable]

so dustpoor i'm struggling to complete level up X amount of pokemon challenges

gonna go out today and try and grind

[unborn garden]

good luck o7

[uncut trail]

-500k after levelling the annihilape

[cyan fable]

you might say the annihilape.....annihilated your stardust supply

[uncut trail]

i will probs need more gbl days to make up for it

[cyan fable]

Man I’ve missed about half of comm day not fussed about shiny mankey in particular, if anything I’d rather not have a dozen of them taking up space but I need that dust

[trail cloak]

Stock up on Ultra Balls for the Combee (and Teddy) spotlight hour

[lone scarab]

I had 4 at the time, now I have like 80

Will still try to clear out more it was just getting late

[cyan fable]

having quite incredibly bad comm day shiny luck

hour and a half of gaming and found 1 😭

gotta beat my brother's score he doesnt even play usually and he's found 2

[keen pumice]

i got like 14 shinys

all mankeys tho but not that bad

[lost girder]

I am wondering If i evolve Primape into Annihilape outside the event will it retain Rage Fist or will the move get replaced?

Since an event move if i evolve it will the move be forgotten or stay?

[restive turtle]

ITS MONKEY TIME

outside of the evolution period and you will get a different move

[woeful pulsar]

forgotten yeah

[restive turtle]

throwback to when i got a shiny Mankey in ultra moon and someone said to name it horse

imma do that again

[lost girder]

so i am stuck with a Primape that has an event move and will forget despite its meant for the evolution

[restive turtle]

wait primeape gets rage fist too??

[woeful pulsar]

yep! since community days have started though, december double CD has the possibility to get all the CD moves from that year for the evolution. so you'll be able to get it next month if you missed out anyway

[jolly granite]

@potent crow don't forget about community day today

[jolly granite]

Catch 20 fighting types while primeape is your buddy. Evolve it during the community day or up to 5 hrs after the cd

[restive turtle]

so it just randomly gets rage fist then

neat

[viscid rivet]

just double move it?

it's 50,000 dust, not that bad

[woeful pulsar]

they're saying that it's "stuck" because evolving will lose the move. not that they don't want the move on it

[plucky sky]

If you evolve during the event, you're fine. And if it's that important to you to get an annihilape with rage fist after the event, you can always just use an elite tm. How many annihilapes with rage fist do you realistically need in go?

Also they give an extra 5 hours after com day ends to give you even more leeway to evolve mankeys caught during the event and still gain all the bonuses like rage fist

It's really not a big deal

[cyan fable]

ohhhh i thought if you'd started like the "catch 15 fighting type challenge to evolve" it stays instead of reverting to that annoying ass "defeat 20 dark types or whatever it was before"

man i was only like 5 fighting types off i don't wanna have to do it all again

[glad niche]

How did everyone do today?

[digital dome]

Where do I ask for a star pattern furfrou? My friend rly wants one

[strange bough]

Probably #trading_pokemon_home

[digital dome]

Ok! Ty

[lone scarab]

not everybody has elite tms to use on ape of all things

that being said, december cd exists

[lost quartz]

3 shinees sitting on my bottom at home watching football

3 out of 13 not bad

[wise aspen]

Biblically accurate Scorbunny

[crude crag]

I forgot primeape learns ragefist and evo‘d a nice shadow mankey before comday😭

If i get a couple elite tm‘s at the end of the season i‘ll probably use 1 for it 💀

[plucky sky]

Oh for sure lol. I just meant if it's that important to you, 1 elite tm does exist outside of com day events. It's not like you need more than 1 or 2 Annihilapes

Obviously doing it during com day is ideal

[lone scarab]

V true

Um, I missed Heracross, when's his mega raid?

[tacit gust]

just had best daily incense of my life

[tacit gust]

im looking for a mega pincer

[lone scarab]

same deal

[fervent pewter]

[torpid fjord]

Can i get shiny meltan rn with the mystery boxes or do i have to wait for another one of the events

[wintry echo]

Pinsir is basically the only one I have...

[torpid fjord]

These are my megas

I think theres like 2 more though i forgot to add like pidgeott

[trail cloak]

Currently not available

[wintry echo]

These are my megas, just haven't mega evolved all of em ig lol

I need mega rayquaza to come back

[patent hamlet]

Which ones are they?

[unborn garden]

have you mega'd ray before?

[restive turtle]

i don't even know if rage fist is better than shadow ball in pvp

but they're identical in pve so if that's all you plan on using it for then you're fine running shadow ball

[crude crag]

Rage fist is definitely way better in pvp since its buffing and there is 1000 other things in pve better than annihilape

[quiet kite]

Is it possible to get more than 1 Zygarde cell in a single route? I swear I got three cells once but I didn't screenshot it and now I wonder if I dreamed it

[plucky sky]

Yes

I got 2 yesterday. It's not common, but it definitely is possible

[fervent pewter]

you can get a max of 3

[tacit gust]

ampharos is a clown

[tacit gust]

which legendary and mythic besides lugia are coming next?

[fervent pewter]

origin formes hype

still on the hunt..

[woeful pulsar]

damn they really put lugia in raids for so long

[fervent pewter]

yea we were really itching for 2 weeks of lugia

[distant light]

Not releasing the galar regis shiny forme was actually a stupid idea

[fervent pewter]

yea weird not to do in season of galar

[unborn garden]

Without gamefreak approving it they can’t do it

Would have been cool tho

[woeful pulsar]

that's a pretty nothing statement because you have no idea why they didn't do it

hoping we get proper unova tour news soon. i hope they do a shiny mythical and don't cop out with apex

[lone scarab]

Meloetta seems possible, feels too coincidental that home happened to put it out only a couple months before lol

[fervent pewter]

we need victini

Like same research

Line one you get early on in the season and by the end manaphy appears

Imagine

[glad rover]

So far halfway through the spotlight hour for me, doubt I'll be finding a tiny black olive baby

I did so far find an xxs one though

[wintry echo]

Just finished the spotlight hour, no shinies, no hundos, one XXL

[glad rover]

Yeah no shinies for me to, but the tiny bean is a very nice consolation prize, probably won't evolve it so it can keep looking really small

[wintry echo]

Yeah, just that smoliv was either my most wanted shiny from harvest festival or a VERY close 2nd

[fossil basin]

Showcases
I saw:
Biggest smoliv
Biggest Arboliva

when will xxs shine

[lone scarab]

it's so annoying they did "biggest smoliv"

so the biggest small olive...

At this point I'm convinced there's like a tech issue when they try to make xxs ones like how can they not be a thing

Most likely

also fire birb isn't even in rotation anytime soon anyways is it

I'm missing like, chicken on fire and ice bird to finish my Kanto Dex

do galarian ones check off the dex for those things

had to add em cuz they put out an event they didn't explain didn't add a whole lot of interesting stuff then axed a bunch of surrounding stuff

then went why people no buy ticket, must add primal

[fervent pewter]

i still havent bought a ticket

[lone scarab]

same

Friend did tho so probably will to play together

but if they hadn't, who knows

These aren't big features if they accidentally mention extra candy just roll with it, it's not like extra necrozma xls or anything

[sharp finch]

Dude I haven't seen articuno in over a year, but seen 10 of both zapdos and moltres

[torpid fjord]

Ive learned not to leave my pokemon at the bars gym by my work cause people keep feeding it

Its been 48 hours

Good thing it wasnt a shiny

But rip exeggutor

[fossil basin]

I think ive seen 3 articunos, 1 zap 1 moltres all time

Maybe cause i don’t use daily incense much

[plucky sky]

48 hours isn't that long tbh. It likely won't actually stay that long. Places where mons get fed are usually popular enough that someone comes by and knocks the whole gym out for their color every so often too. Ideally you have multiple mons out and 1 gets knocked out per day, in which case someone feeding 1 or 2 of them is good

I've seen people have mons sitting in gyms for a month+ without anyone feeding it just because it's an inactive area. I think you're fine

[torpid fjord]

Longest ive had a pokemon at this gym was 2 weeks

And its very active

Its also always yellow which is my team

[plucky sky]

You could always get on campfire and ask if anyone nearby can take it out if it ends up sitting there for too long. Like I said though, 48 hours isn't long at all

[torpid fjord]

I wish after every 8 hours it would just give you pokecoins even though its still in the gym but i get why they arent

Someone could just permently take over a rural gym

[plucky sky]

Ideally they'd just add the max spot feature to gyms where you can recall a mon manually. It makes no sense why they haven't tbh. They have the feature already coded

[torpid fjord]

[restive turtle]

50 coins for first 8 hours then one coin per additional hour after that

seems reasonable-ish

[distant light]

Oh so that’s why you think 48 hours is long you’re one of the 14 people on yellow team

[torpid fjord]

All of the yellow team players are out here

Its the one team i see the most

And blue

Most gyms people wait until that 8 hour mark to boot my pokemon so having it longer than that feels long

[plucky sky]

That's honestly super nice and unexpected tbh. Nobody here waits. If you're at full health, some people might wait a bit, but nobody checks the hours. I usually place 5-7 mons in gyms and 3 or 4 are back within 8 hours

But we also have a mix of all colors. I'm blue and have some company, but red and yellow show up frequently

[torpid fjord]

Its like pogo is pretty big in my city its just that it happens that i live in the rural borders

We did have a go fest too

[glad niche]

Storages have been increased by 500

[tacit gust]

[fossil basin]

Can anyone help me with it?

[restive turtle]

my friend just offered me all three lake guardians for my g-moltres

I can't stop winning!

[stray sorrel]

[plucky sky]

I think they mean Lugia raids

But this should be done in #pogo_raids

[stray sorrel]

ohhh

"Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls cannot be transferred to Pokémon HOME."
🤦

[fossil basin]

Why

WHY

[plucky sky]

Classic

[honest laurel]

If I Purified this would it be a hundo?

[restive turtle]

yeah but dont

[honest laurel]

It's better as a shadow opposed to hundo?

[fossil basin]

Shadow garde is one of the few best fairy attackers

[honest laurel]

Would it be better for raids or league?

[fossil basin]

raid

[honest laurel]

Nicee ok thanks

Trainers from Japan report that the new Mighty Pokémon might spawn at very high levels 👀 One of them caught a Scolipede at level 48!

That means.. we can save a lot of XLs 🤔

Also, Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls cannot be sent to Pokémon HOME.

thanks @Spencxrrrr

Mighty Pokemon are insane

13/13/13 iv floor xxl and xl boost

AND all of them are level 40-50

[glad niche]

Intersting

[glad niche]

Nice

[trail cloak]

Mighty Shadow Pokemon when?

[quiet kite]

rural players I found where y'all live

[trail cloak]

2 gyms and 2 stops?

[quiet kite]

My perfect record with Phanphy is over

One just ran away

[tacit gust]

my top cp pokemon

[fringe folio]

you look just about ready to take on nihilego

which btw except excadrill and rhyperior what other pokemon should I prepare

[glad niche]

What pokemon do you have?

[fringe folio]

these are the best ones I have so far, I can still evolve some and get them to around that level

[fringe folio]

I think the best ones to bring to the raid is magnezone, metagross, Donphan, Rhydon and excadrill, but the donphan doesn’t have great IV’s and I would have to spend some stardust to get an alolan dugtrio to at least 2000 cp

[glad niche]

So you're preparing for nihilego then
Best mons you want really are multiple excadrill and rypherior

So you'll wanna pinap all drilbur and Rhyhorn you see

[fringe folio]

aight, thanks

[crisp relic]

fitindoraptor has given 1 Gen Rep to blazardchu

[fringe folio]

do you think alolan dugtrio would be worth it though?

[glad niche]

Also look for good IV pokemon because they'll help you much better than any 2* or under

[glad niche]

Not at all
I don't suspect it's high on the counter list

[fringe folio]

aight

[fringe folio]

and if I have a shadow drilbur? Should I evolve it?

[glad niche]

Not if it's bad IVs

[glad niche]

Probably still a no in my eyes

There can be better

[fringe folio]

I caught a rhyhorn with a really high cp but I can’t decide if I wanna evolve it

[stray sorrel]

Didn't got lucky when I did the lucky trade today but they guy did get a 98 🤣

[tacit gust]

you will find better trust

[fringe folio]

you’re right I did

[fringe folio]

what do y’sll think is better though, more rhydon at 2400 cp or one rhyperior but less rhydons?

[tacit gust]

rhyperior is better

[trail cloak]

If you're really low on Rock damage, you could make an argument for 5 high level Rhydon before evolving any to Rhyperior. The difference doesn't become huge until you factor in the legacy move Rock Wrecker

[fervent pewter]

candy is likely the biggest concern atm

so sitting on a bunch of rhydon not worst

can wait for cd move and bank the candy

[stray sorrel]

Not sure if someone had drop this but here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1gsds60/free_elite_tm_and_feraligatr_twitch_drop/

[restive turtle]

theoretically if i battled Arlo during December c-day would his shadow beldum have boosted shiny odds

[lone scarab]

nah it's like it's own species iirc

[glad niche]

Ivs are bad
Don't evolve

[unborn garden]

Did a 10min incense and got back to back birds, didn't catch either and neither were shiny sadly, still bewildered me aha

[crude crag]

Where were your last 5min lol

[unborn garden]

Was on the way home and I live live in a data deadzone

So lost the last 5 sadly

Probably would've seen the final bird with that luck tho aha

[crude crag]

Yeah everytime i get multiple birds i and up with 3 too

I hope it happens during wild area again lol

[unborn garden]

That would be nice aha

I've seen one of each bird since the shiny debut

I've used my daily most days, used all my bird luck the week before they were shiny eligible, found like 4 aha

[loud gull]

at least if you do find the shiny it wont break out of the ball

[unborn garden]

Yeah! Unless I’m in a car and it takes too long and I get speedcapped

Pretty sure I’ve heard of people losing bird to that

[quiet kite]

oh joy
