@fervent pewter

[fervent pewter]

yooo 🔥

[glad niche]

Nice

[unborn garden]

last dialga remote this rotation, wish me luck

nothing like 40ish raids over these two weeks and then 21 deoxys raids and also nothing

[glad rover]

Sad to hear the green time god did not appear for you

[unborn garden]

Thanks aha the rusty dragon doesn’t like me :c

[glad niche]

Wow. Enamorus is soloable

[glad rover]

Oh just realized I'm halfway to level 40

Should hopefully be able to claim my Shiny Mew in a good few months

[fervent pewter]

you are 85%~ the way to 40!

[glad niche]

Attempted enamorous with 2 and failed because I thought it was pure fairy

[fervent pewter]

the solo is super close

[fervent pewter]

yea rock is decent !

[trail cloak]

Just throw Metagross at it if you're not sure

It's got nothing for Steel

Astonish will hurt a little but nothing to worry about

[grand canopy]

i finally got a raid thats not 5* today

ever since deoxys (or even palkia) came into raids i had like 3-4 5* raids per day and nothing else, didnt even get any mega medi energy

[fervent pewter]

home gym?

[grand canopy]

yup

was stuck in one of those raid test regions

[fervent pewter]

not familiar

i want the red flabebe and oricorio

[glad niche]

Only thing I can really use is rhypherior, rampardos will probably take 2 hits and die

[glad niche]

Don't have a good one to use and never have

[grand canopy]

no metagross??

[grand canopy]

its like certain regions (usually entire cities) got turned into "raid test" zones for a few weeks, every gym could only spawn one specific type of raid at almost the same time every day, so for example my home gym only spawned 5* raids at 9, 11/12, 3, 5, 7/8 every single day

was pretty nice for the last few 5*s like dialga or deoxys but i missed the mega raids that way

[trail cloak]

Time to use a bad one!

[glad niche]

I'll find one to power up

[glad niche]

Nah Ill power up one that I can find I got 9m dust

[cyan crater]

Do we know when the Shiny Meloetta ticket will go on sale?

[grand canopy]

i think feb24? thats when the other unova tour tickets become available

[cyan crater]

Thanks

[restive turtle]

third hundo hatched this week

[loud gull]

Got the new Dex update and it looks really cool

[fossil basin]

Credit : PokeMiners

as the person who posted it ."Was this a mistake or intentional?"

[grand canopy]

pyukumuku

i love the new pokedex, looks so nice

[fossil basin]

im just so hype for kitty with hat

[fierce folio]

[glad niche]

Looks intentional. We're just waiting on release of some of these. Interesting to see what's coming. ||Costume florogato||

[dusky dune]

Lets take a moment to adore how small and cute XXS Natu is, my gosh

[glad niche]

Wow that is tiny

I'm surprised it's not a pokemon you can have in your shoulder

[grand canopy]

[dusky dune]

I know right!! Thats what i was hoping for it was :(

[glad rover]

What are the Pokémon with special placement like that?

[glad niche]

All I know is eevee

[dusky dune]

Doesnt Pikachu and Togepi also have those thingys?

[loud gull]

I just realized that my Mega Evolution Guru metal only needs 2 more megas left, but there is still 5 not released yet. Also I love floragato so much and that hat looks cute.

[loud gull]

I wonder if the costumed floragato will be part of the regional event.

[fossil basin]

I realise Floragato has a v clip like Liko in the anime

I Wonder if pokemon day related

Cause rn liko has a Floragato rn (it evolved)

[glad rover]

I'm liking the new Pokédex, Galar actually has a better looking dex file instead of stuff being bunched together

It was so weird to look at sometimes since no other dex region looked like that

[glad rover]

Tomorrow I finish the last shiny Shaymin time gate and move onto part 6, but I will still need to wait till I'm level 40 to claim it like Mew

[grand canopy]

ok so i was happy about the mega ttar raid but i got 5 more mega ttar raids here today

[restive turtle]

Wurmple

[dusky dune]

Oohh yess Wurmple too

[trail cloak]

🕊️

[restive turtle]

is azurill incorrectly placed as a tier 1 hatch

feels like I've hatched like 20 eggs and not gotten it

[kindred musk]

bro is the size of your toe

My cutiefly is not a xxs lol

I’ll see what the xxs looks like

Jesus Christ you can barely see it

[midnight iris]

What level are you?

[glad rover]

Halfway through level 39

[midnight iris]

Tomorrow's community day is 3x exp, depending on how good at excellents you are you can get a good chunk of that

If you can play tomorrow lol

[glad rover]

I probably would only be able to play for a short bit tomorrow, work mostly through the com day. If my break lines up I'll be good but not 100%

[restive turtle]

im gonna pop off

[glad rover]

Finished the last Shaymin time gate and I got my Larvesta up to 70 hearts in the process. Furthest I've ever gone for a Pokémon and I definitely want to make it a best buddy now

[thorny jay]

Looking for Armored Mewtwo – Willing to Trade!

Hey everyone!

I know it’s a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone happens to have an Armored Mewtwo in Pokémon GO and might be willing to trade? It’s been a dream of mine to have one, and I’d be incredibly grateful if someone could help make that happen!

I’m more than happy to work out a fair trade, so if you have one and would consider it, please reach out. No pressure at all!

Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate it! ✨🙏

[plucky sky]

Trading in Pokemon Go is local only (100 meters), and you can't send Armored Mewtwo to Pokemon Home from Pokemon Go. So this isn't possible.

[thorny jay]

Oh yeah.. silly me

[glad rover]

I just need to beat a Rocket leader 3 times and get to level 40. So guess I'll be claiming Mew and Shaymin at the same time. I've been waiting since the Kanto tour to get Mew and this year's definitely going to be the year I can finally get it. (Was level 21 or 22 when the kanto tour happened)

[glad niche]

How's everyone's luck been. Got 0 karrablast and 30 mins to go

[midnight iris]

Damn that sucks. I just opened my app at home, got one of each and closed it, they'll come back in December though 👍

[glad niche]

I did get one with 7 mins to go

[midnight iris]

Oh cool

[lone scarab]

Oh I forgot it was a cd it starts in 8 mins lol

[glad niche]

Gl

[restive turtle]

how have i managed to consistently get everything except azurill

got four of these left, if I don't get it I'm gonna cry

[acoustic ridge]

Did they stop doing raids after community days? :<

[woeful pulsar]

yeah, they haven't done it this year so far

[trail cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/err-is-there-a-third-option-biggie-trolls-the-beat-goes-on-trolls-neither-gif-17493371

[glad rover]

Sucks that Rookidee wasn't a permanent 2K egg pokemon, only got one 2K egg during that event and it didn't hatch from it

[cerulean halo]

TIL there's a cooldown on changing friend nicknames, pretty stupid IMHO

[restive turtle]

total haul

i gotta find new friends to play this with 😔

[forest saffron]

Which one is better stats wise not for anything specific just in general

[restive turtle]

charge your phone

I'd say the one on the left personally

[fossil basin]

Left 100%

[weary gorge]

Lmao

[grand canopy]

[plucky sky]

Banned for hacking

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

so many raid days

here are community days

[glad niche]

Wow

[restive turtle]

if we don't get mega Metagross this upcoming season I'm gonna throw something

[viscid lagoon]

Hello, is Ultra Necrozma in the game?

[glad niche]

Not yet

[viscid lagoon]

I see. Thank you!

[crisp relic]

aceeeeeey has given 1 Gen Rep to blazardchu

[glad niche]

Np

[quiet kite]

Ultra Necrozma would be a sweet raid day event

[rocky field]

I wish they'd add a wheelchair to the player customisation feature.

It would just be a few small animation changes

and they obviously know that some players use chairs because they send out promotional notifications with the emoji combo '🚶 🧑‍🦽 🏃'

[plucky sky]

https://fixupx.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1889373916344266824?t=iJgJtVtRlLyfdVkqwasr-Q&s=19

[grand canopy]

if they gave me like 3 raid passes through the premium research i'd probably buy it

[fervent pewter]

hype af

[glad rover]

I really hope they one day give Skiddo and Mudbray global releases one day, it's stupid they can only be caught in safari zone events

[cerulean halo]

man, luvdisc is really great for execellent throws

[fervent pewter]

i dont have a best buddy weavile ..

or miltank lol

[lone scarab]

Yes that's the only problem here

[rotund copper]

They’d probably charge as much as a real wheelchair

[fossil basin]

Im geniunely not mad cause i dont need to evolve my shiny fuecoco i hatched

In Poke Violet

[rocky field]

my wheelchair was free so i’d be fine with that

[weary gorge]

Sooo when it's the kyurem raid? Or did i miss it?

[glad rover]

Good news for the Hoopa raid day

[loud gull]

YaY hoopa raid day

[fossil basin]

oo

[weary gorge]

Please shiny unlock him 🙏

[fossil basin]

Its non shiny

so no shiny unlock

man…..

[weary gorge]

Pain

[loud gull]

yea the main games dont have it shiny so most likely wont be for a long time

[glad rover]

Nice got a shiny Shelmet from the timed research encounter, didn't get to do com day so happy I got something

[unique igloo]

Milvile

For fusion

[grand canopy]

today is raid hour right?

where is my raid hour raid aaaaagh

[lone scarab]

I can finally change their stupid forms

[blazing thistle]

Do enhanced graphics or native refresh rate eat up more battery than the other option, or it's about the same I guess?

[woeful pulsar]

yeah they eat more

[blazing thistle]

damn, it be like that

[forest saffron]

Will you be able to get shiny hoopa on raid day or will it still be shiny locked

[lone scarab]

it doesn't mention shiny anywhere so very unlikely they'd add that

[fossil basin]

Shiny locked

but who knows maybe niantic will f*k up as usual?

[trail cloak]

Nah, they only accidentally turn off shinies

[rocky field]

no way it just misgendered me

[fossil basin]

[twin cove]

I’m pretty sure it says that for everyone

No matter what you pick

[rocky field]

huh, apparently its a reference to this trainer class from gen 6

I always knew her as Suspicious Child

because theres an npc with that sprite but her trainer class is Suspicious Child

[plucky sky]

Yes, like a lot of the medal names, or achievement names in most games, its a reference. The name doesn't change based on anything. It's static for everyone.

[torpid fjord]

This a good 4*?

Or its evo

[trail cloak]

Its Attack is good enough (comparable with Conkeldurr) but it's hampered by Close Combat being shit in raids

Though even with a stronger move, Lucario's better (and that's excluding Shadows and Megas)

[lone scarab]

counterpoint: leek tho

[trail cloak]

ayy congrats

[restive turtle]

first shadow hundo

is shadow dugtrio even good

[trail cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/spilling-spits-water-gif-5910757

[restive turtle]

soooooooooo it's not

ok

[loud gull]

Sadly no, I have a good amount of shadow hundos but nothing good to use. Still is a good achievement to show off.

Just realized there isn't any valentines tasks for spinda with heart pattern

[unborn garden]

No heart trim furfrou either from what I know

[woeful pulsar]

i have a few shiny furfrou in GO that i kinda wanna just do heart trim before sending to HOME, since that's a time limited one but i should just collect all the other trims first

[restive turtle]

😭

[potent mountain]

I was wondering if something was up with my game cause I wasn’t getting the option

[fervent pewter]

how do u get furfrou forms outside of go?

[glad niche]

XY only right now

[fervent pewter]

[potent mountain]

Is this from last year?

[fervent pewter]

🤷‍♂️

maybe 2 yrs

[cerulean halo]

came here to ask about heart trim, now i'm sad. i got my first shiny furfrou a few months back and was waiting to give it the heart trim.

[glad rover]

They could get the trims in other games to but once the trims were put into poké bank they'd revert back to regular Furfrou, at least in Gen 7, in Gen 6 they'd revert back to normal Furfrou after being deposited into the pc boxes

[quiet kite]

got the gang all ready

[glad rover]

Prep for Hoopa?

[quiet kite]

Yeeeaaa

Can't wait to use that super Scolipede I got on Wild Area day

[plucky sky]

Sad its shiny locked, but also expected. Someday I'll get a golden hoopa

[sharp finch]

Jokes on you we are getting a volcanion shiny gift

[solemn bluff]

Can anyone trade a Pokémon with me for a task, my code is 729304087927

[plucky sky]

No, pokemon go trades are local only

[slender needle]

5 free raid passes for a shiny locked pokemon is,,,interesting to say the least

[glad niche]

It allows people to get a better IV one at least

[fervent pewter]

i got no bugs

[grand canopy]

the raid looked so weird today

with mega scizor i couldn't even see the full health bar

like what the heck

[trail cloak]

Probably why Hoopa-U scored 10k+ on the buddy showcase

[lone scarab]

every hoopa I caught was unbelievably mid, never had good luck with this thing lol

[woeful pulsar]

i think i caught like a 93 and 98 today? but like they're probs just going to HOME

[lone scarab]

gib

[fervent pewter]

i didnt do any

[grand canopy]

i did 5 and the best i got was 13/12/14

[weary gorge]

I actually didn't knew that Hoopa Unbounded was Psychic/Dark lol

The best i got out of the 7 was a 15/15/13 or 11 i think

[lone scarab]

I knew it was that type but I never thought about how few weaknesses it had till I tried teambuilding

obv it's got the big bug weakness but it still can slap heracross with confusion

[weary gorge]

Skorupi evo goes brrr

[trail cloak]

[lone scarab]

skorupi evo ain't even a bug

[carmine lynx]

Is Hoopa unbound shiny locked in GO?

[woeful pulsar]

yes

[restive turtle]

my best was a 15/15/13

my friend got a 14/15/15 but turned it into confined form because he "doesn't care about raids unless it's a raid day"

he also willingly missed shadow ho-oh

[restive turtle]

Given that all of the other game dex completion rewards haven't had their shinies officially released previously, I wouldn't count on LZA's reward being shiny Diancie

well all of them except meltan

[quiet kite]

I don't think Diancie is off the table but who knows. Meltan kinda blows up the "must be unreleased" line

[restive turtle]

yeah but the only other options were mew and melmetal

both of which have already been released

i wish meltan was evolvable outside of pokemon go

[unborn garden]

70 raids since my last shiny

[weary gorge]

It knows a very powerful bug type move tho

Resists the shadow ball and psychic attacks Hoopa can have too

[trail cloak]

Butterfree hits Hoopa harder than Drapion

[weary gorge]

Take that back

[viscid lagoon]

For the Unova tour, are we gonna get Victini for free or do we need to get the pass?

[woeful pulsar]

The paid version of the pass has Victini. Free version does not

[viscid lagoon]

Ah damn. Thank you so much for answering! I was looking forward to a free Victini

[crisp relic]

aceeeeeey has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

[woeful pulsar]

There's a free Victini permanently available if you haven't got that yet. But you need to make progression on all the mythical quests before it to unlock it so it can take a while

[viscid lagoon]

I haven't! This is gonna be the first time I get to do this tour as I only have been consistently playing for about 4 months, I think.

There is still hope

[woeful pulsar]

[viscid lagoon]

Is this Victini attainable outside of the Unova event? Or should I rush to get them?

[woeful pulsar]

The ones in the message above are all permanent, so no rush for it

Unova event has a paid pass for Victini encounter, and a paid ticket for a Shiny Meloetta quest

[viscid lagoon]

Ahhh excellent. This made me relax a bit Thank you again!

[quiet kite]

You can actually get two Victini, apparently, if you do the paid limited-time one and get the free Research one

[glad rover]

I really can't keep up with when the raid rotations happen, really hoping I don't miss anything

[viscid lagoon]

Yeah, but I’m not really looking to spend for the pass, so I’ll just settle for the free one

[distant light]

Can someone send the link to the go tour info blog post

I haven’t played in a while so I know like nothing about the event lol

I have a lvl 40 shiny zekrom, will I be able to merge it or whatever

And will it stay shiny if I merge it with a regular kyurem

And keep its level

If it does I might actually play the event lmao

[woeful pulsar]

https://gotour.pokemongolive.com/global

[woeful pulsar]

it should be kyurem that decides shininess if it works like that

[distant light]

Thanks

[crisp relic]

andrewhettler has given 1 Gen Rep to bgoproton

Well shit 😭

[fossil basin]

Im sad

They didn’t unlock heart trim for this valentines day

I wanted to dex shiny heart trim furfrou

[glad niche]

Made no sense why they didn't do it

[fossil basin]

@half kettle still broken

[lone scarab]

I got like the same stats on a scyther earlier lol, could purify to 14/15/15

[restive turtle]

my friend and I did a mega garchomp raid earlier and we won with less than 30 seconds left

mine ended up being close to hundo but it ran

but then I found this right after so it's okay i guess

[weary gorge]

Brooooooo

I forgot about the special cut for furfrou in valentine

I literally waited a whole year for it and i FORGOT

[unborn garden]

It wasn't available this year

[weary gorge]

Oh really? Why

That's so ass

I wanted go trade a lot of legendaries at home 😔

[unborn garden]

Yeah pretty lame

[quiet kite]

2nd time recently I've had a raid get stuck like this

[glad niche]

Skipping

1/4 egg distance though. Love to see it

[torpid fjord]

This is pain

And heracross

When was entei raikou and suicune last in normal raids

Im gonna guess it aint happening this year either other than shadow raids which i cant do

[fervent pewter]

i think totodile was my first comm day

[glad rover]

I'm glad I live in Florida, both johto regionals are native to me, for Heracross you'd just have hope it comes back to Mega Raids eventually

[plucky sky]

Pretty sure sometime in 2023. Since then its only been shadows

[fossil basin]

Theres has been datamins that the gmax cat trio will arrive

entei,raikou and suicune

[lone scarab]

fancy that, dmax legends with actual weaknesses

Good thing raikous my fave cuz it'll get absolutely rolled by excadrill lol

[quiet kite]

Still dumbfounded as to why they didn't drop a dmax rock pokemon before the birds

[lone scarab]

I still love them putting grookey in timed research as a zapdos counter

I choose to believe adding the birds was some higher ups "smart idea" and they were just forced to despite how terrible it was lol

[trail cloak]

Scratch Rillaboom wasn't the worst option out there

Maps suggest that (part of) the peninsula is Monsoon

[weary gorge]

Oh no...

[plucky sky]

It would be really funny if we finally get remotable elite/shadow/dynamax/gigantimax battles because Niantic sells to a company who cares more about money. One of the few times a company caring more about money ends up in a good thing. Obviously it would likely come with tons more p2w stuff that make event passes look like nothing, but until then, its funny to think about

[deft hawk]

Why is sandstorm so garbage to get?

Nobody is offering gifts, friend codes, or even posting on campfire

[modest totem]

do shinys usually have bad combat power? Almost all my shinys are below 200 combat power

[woeful pulsar]

CP is based partly on the pokemon species stats, partly on the IVs, and partly on the level
all 3 of those are pretty random when you're getting shinies so it's all random chance. you're likely just getting low level shinies

[raw halo]

And icy snow for me

[unborn garden]

getting into kyurem remotes is so trickyy

[rotund copper]

Just a heads up, Tuesday is Unova Starter Spotlight hour

For those who need to catch the 156 Unova mons

[warm bison]

Can finally finish season of legends 😂

[trail cloak]

Easy links here

[grand canopy]

took longer than expected

[plucky sky]

PhD Pikachu aquired

[unique grotto]

Congrats on Dr. Chu.

[plucky sky]

[silent sleet]

Did I miss the latest event to have Kecleon in it? Thought I saw something with it in Feb

[unique grotto]

There is not a Kecleon event right now, but they are available as a very rare encounter. Leave sound on (doesn't require music) and if you pass by a stop that sounds like a rocket stop but doesn't have a grunt check for lizards.

[viscid lagoon]

Congrats! She looks so cute

[silent sleet]

Well, today I learned that there's a sound effect specifically for pokestops at all. Been playing on silent for battery saving purposes.

[slender needle]

Actually let me post this in flexing

[glad rover]

So far the only Unova pokemon I've found for the timed research is Dynamax pidove and not much else strangely

[lone scarab]

I found like 5 things last night and then caught 2 pidoves today yeah, just gonna worry about it at global tbh

[woeful pulsar]

tuesday has unovan starter spotlight hour so that can knock out a chunk

[trail cloak]

2.5/minute to complete, should be easy if you apply yourself

[fossil basin]

300 candys left for my hundo larvesta

Also its already best buddied

[stray birch]

Guys I'm low on revives and potions and I need to beat cliff and sierra before dual destiny ends so I can get a super rocket radar, any tips?

[glad niche]

Finally hit level 44

[glad niche]

I'm pretty sure you can get more potions and revives by spinning gyms and opening gifts
I wish I could give you some of mine I have about 1000

[trail cloak]

You could join a remote raid on an app but only raid with Pokemon you're gonna toss to the grinder

[ocean orbit]

Do you have a palkia?

I can solo cliff with just a high level palkia

[stray birch]

No in order to get shadow palkia I need to get the super rocket radar

[ocean orbit]

Send me ur best mons

I’ll try to help you make a team

[stray birch]

I'm kinda busy rn, I'll dm you later

[lone scarab]

If you mega evo a pokemon it fully heals them I noticed that a while back

it's not always applicable but it could come into play

[distant light]

So if I’m like coincidentally in LA at the moment

But I didn’t buy a ticket or anything because I didn’t know I would be

Can I still get shinies from kyurem raids

[devout shell]

yes

[distant light]

Skibidi

[distant light]

Well it won’t matter anyway because there was actually a seat open on my connecting flight 🎉

[glad rover]

I'm one heart off from making my Larvesta an ultra buddy and then need to grind 150 more hearts for best buddy

Then I have to do that grind for 9 other Pokémon so I can finally move past in the Jirachi research I've been procrastinating on

[grand canopy]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/fusion-adventure-effects-kyurem

[candid shoal]

Gross

[glad niche]

Interesting

[grand canopy]

i think i prefer kyurem-black when it comes to adventure effects but both are kinda 🫠

[plucky sky]

Black looks cooler imo, and both seem super strong with similar advanture effects, so probably gonna target black and then do white after with extra resources. But my focus will be on black. I never use adventure effects anyway, but Black seems decent if you're hunting non-shiny galarian birds

White is good if you have skill issue with excellent catch missions

Looking at power though, both seem like big players for raids, just like necrozma fusions. Real powerhouses, as expected from fusions

[grand canopy]

kyurem white is a bit better for double ice weakness due to ice fang fastmove while kyurem black is stronger vs regular dragon weakness iirc

but ye, both are absolutely stupid strong

CP at lvl50 is like 5.2k+

like what the fuck 😭

[plucky sky]

Lmao insane

[restive turtle]

thank god i have a kjghpillion incubators for some reason

[glad niche]

Definitely use them when 1/2 or 1/4 hatch distance

[grand canopy]

the free research legends are lvl20, noooo https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/DHQKivyBaS

[lone scarab]

They basically turned them into glorified nanab berries lmao

So not worth the dust or anything

[grand canopy]

they do mention better catch rates tho

EVEN MORE INFO

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/zGx2uxAMIH

for those that cant access reddit

[grand canopy]

[plucky sky]

Here's the full list on leek duck with free and premium side by side
https://fixupx.com/LeekDuck/status/1893781573016641558?t=_e3mO_do2bEIi-kIIyxu7A&s=19

https://leekduck.com/events/road-to-unova/#tour-pass

Shiny hunting the legends in raids are gonna be big point gains

But also you can just catch normally. 10 normal pokemin are 1 legend

And 150 points from daily tasks

But so every legendary raid you do for shiny hunts or just energy for fusions and stuff is 1 rank each

[lone scarab]

Bare minimum is just catching 500 mons that's not too crazy I suppose

Or sorry 1000

that's a taller order

[plucky sky]

https://fixupx.com/LeekDuck/status/1893800173089751453?t=ella0W31WywTdd2Jy-LB2w&s=19

[unborn garden]

been doing kyurems after the event started, not getting points from them, maybe remote raids dont get points

[fervent pewter]

can anyone help me evole an annihilape

[quiet kite]

Pokemon players mad that the devs want them to also spend time touching grass every day

[plucky sky]

Are they actually? I havent seen anyone mad, but I guess people will get mad about anything. Pretty sure you can find people to yell about anything whatsoever with social media existing

[glad rover]

I won't be buying the premium ticket but I absolutely am buying the hatch one. Hatch 3 eggs and I'll have myself a Bouffalant and a Sigilyph. Maractus is also there but I live in Florida where they natively spawn

I'm 5 Pokémon off from the Unova platinum. Need Bouffalant, Sigilyph, Volcarona, Terrakoin, and Keldeo. Larvesta's currently my buddy so have been slowly working on that 400 candy evo

[quiet kite]

Is the Meloetta research not giftable?

[unborn garden]

It is

Gotta be at least great friends to gift things tho I think

[ocean orbit]

Has anyone not in a region where road to unova has started gotten a background?

For genesect

[quiet kite]

It disappeared from the store for me after I bought mine

But the two Road to Unova tickets are still there and giftable

[unborn garden]

Huh I guess you gotta gift it first

Maybe the online store will let you

I gifted mine first

[fossil basin]

Btw the times research mons can be shiny so good luck

[frail cape]

how many raid passes will you get a day

is it still going to be 1 per day or will it change w/ the road to unova

(not counting the stuff that costs money or pokecoins)

[fossil basin]

1 per day as usual

i dont remember if dual destiny gives more

[plucky sky]

I dont think there are any boosts with the event, so just normal stuff

[frail cape]

so hypothetically, if i don't purchase anything or use anything but the free raid pass, will I be able to complete the timed research?

[plucky sky]

How long does the research last? If you have no passes saved and do 1 raid per day, it needs to last 11 days and you'll be fine. Pretty simple math I think

[frail cape]

uhh

doesn't say anything on leek duck

is there any way i can check the end date?

[plucky sky]

If it goes until March 1st, end of the Road to Unova event, thats only like 6 days? So you would still need to do 2 raids on most days

[trail cloak]

We still get 2 free ones per day

[frail cape]

wait actually?

[plucky sky]

Oh then perfect

[trail cloak]

Seasonal bonus, yep

[plucky sky]

2 raids per day with your 2 free passes

And you can hit the 11

[frail cape]

YES YES YES YES YEs

screams in nerd

screams in completionist

[plucky sky]

Yeah, I knew there were no bonuses from the event, but didnt remember what the seasonal bonuses were. Thanks for clarifying

[crisp relic]

eli_sussy has given 1 Gen Rep to zuoken

[frail cape]

the savior thanks so much😭

[crisp relic]

skywalker_15 has given 1 Gen Rep to zuoken

[frail cape]

im prolly not gonna be able to get the forces of nature timed research tho

[mighty bane]

dawg this game is so late game friendly

[frail cape]

ikr

[mighty bane]

how they expect me to beat a raid with only 2.3k cp mons 💀

[frail cape]

😭

are you in a city or a populated place?

its better there cuz there are more ppl that join

or just do a meetup or smth

[plucky sky]

Remotes or other people

[frail cape]

oh yeah and remotes too

[plucky sky]

They dont expect people to solo legend raids

Some are possible, but most need other people

So they always are expecting you to do remotes or have other people

[frail cape]

eli how can i quickly get the forces of nature timed research done

[plucky sky]

It's less about late game bias and more about city bias

[plucky sky]

Which one is that

[frail cape]

the one where you have to catch 156 unova pokemon

to get landorus, thunderus, and tornadus

[plucky sky]

Tuesday is a spotlight hour for unova starters I think

[frail cape]

oh yeah

[plucky sky]

So if you go around at 6pm, you should be able to catch only unova mons

Which should make the 156 A LOT easier

[frail cape]

wait do only unova pokemon spawn during road to unova

or is it the same spawn rates

[plucky sky]

I think the seasonal spawns still spawn, but there are some boosted rates like for the starters and some other unova mons

[frail cape]

oh bet thats gonna make it easier

[plucky sky]

But for that hour on Tuesday (6pm-7pm local time), every pokemon will be a unova mon

So if you have an auto catcher or are just ready to catch mons, 156 should be very doable just from that

If you walk around or go for a drive

[frail cape]

ok thanks

wait whats an autocatcher

well ik what it is but how do you get it

[plucky sky]

This is the official one. It's a device with software that you connect to your app and it auto throws a ball at every mon it senses. If you care about quantity over precision, they are very useful. Good for community and spotlight hours if you just want a lot of something
https://www.pokemongoplusplus.com/en/

They also spin pokestops you go by

[frail cape]

ohhh

[plucky sky]

And usually work normally up to about 45+ mph

So you can drive around and they still work

Unless youre like on the highway

[frail cape]

im not buying that bc im not willing to spend that much on this game

but it seems useful

[plucky sky]

Yeah thats fair

If youre willing to just focus and catch for that hour, 156 is still very doable

Auto catchers are just QoL/convenience

[frail cape]

ok

[plucky sky]

You can do the same thing or more on your own

[frail cape]

thanks for all of the help

[crisp relic]

skywalker_15 has given 1 Gen Rep to eli_sussy

[plucky sky]

[frail cape]

i should have never gotten this game the completionist itch is getting unbearable

[plucky sky]

First 2 steps of the shiny meloetta masterwork research are out btw for anyone interested. No insane roadblocks yet (platinum medals, kecleons, dittos, 400 candy evos, etc), but first timegate is 21 days on page 2/7

[frail cape]

ok gn

[frail cape]

oh hail naw that would take me weeks💀

[trail cloak]

The Go+ is pretty bad at catching starters, unfortunately

I hate catching those things

[fervent pewter]

get the gotcha

[plucky sky]

Masterworks are meant to take awhile. It's why they have no time limit. Many people spend a year or more on them if they get stuck on really bad tasks. Im still stuck on the "johto platinum medal" one for Celebi because Im missing the legendary dogs (entei, suicune, raiku)

[frail cape]

oh dang

it took me 2 months to get a freakin magikarp to evolve

i dont wanna know what this quest does to you

[plucky sky]

Yeah, ngl, I've heard people have more success with the unofficial ones. The only thing you really miss out on is using great/ultra balls 👀

[fervent pewter]

ya and sleepy snorlax

[plucky sky]

true lol

[frail cape]

the go plus thing works for pokemon sleep?

should i even get that game

[plucky sky]

I dont have it, but my sleep schedule is always awful for unrelated reasons, so I wouldn't gain much. I know people who love that app though so

[frail cape]

same i get 5 hours of sleep every day

[glad rover]

Honestly I'm glad they eased up on the first tasks compared to Shaymin and Jirachi where you had to catch their dex numbers for each individual region which was more painful then it needed to be

Like 385 Pokémon from Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. 492 from all four regions. It's a big oof. I was kinda worried Meloetta would make us catch 648 pokemon from each region and that wouldn't have been fun

[plucky sky]

Yeah, pleasant surprise, although I'm still scared we'll get some "gotcha" task in later pages

Something like a specific plat medal or 400 candy rare evo

But so far, pretty good

[woeful pulsar]

feel like it's gonna be some stupid amount of routes or showcases

[fossil basin]

10 best buddies was bad enough

what could be worse

[glad rover]

If it does ask for showcases that'll be very bad for me since I don't see showcase stops often. One I have used before is at the Red Robin at my local mall but I don't go there often

[quiet kite]

YES, old Kyurems can fuse too

[woeful pulsar]

30 best friends
50 best buddies
40 showcase wins
100 routes completed
30 rocket leaders defeated

and all non-retroactive

[unborn garden]

Did they make genesect harder?

Just failed like 3 solos when I could consistently solo it last rotation

[glad rover]

Might be the different drive being not as easy as the chill one

[restive turtle]

if it requires showcase wins I'm actually gonna cry

i don't keep XXLs unless there's something else about it

[fossil basin]

Meoletta ticket research had a bug its now giftable

[grand canopy]

they reverted the mega self boost a few weeks ago

[unborn garden]

whyyyy

[quiet kite]

Megas boosting themselves is pretty broken

[unborn garden]

It was so nice to be able to solo things tho :(

[loud gull]

That is good, I have a lucky shiny that I want to fuze

[quiet kite]

Genesect should still be soloable

[loud gull]

as well as some ultra beasts

[grand canopy]

my mom just got shiny tepig from the tour pass

[glad niche]

Lol

[glad rover]

Terrakion obtained from the raid timed research so now I'm even closer to the platinum, if they had Keldeo be the first reward for the deluxe ticket I might've gone for it since I still need it. Throughout this whole Unova event it doesn't sound like they're doing anything for Keldeo which kinda sucks

[weary gorge]

Did i missed the Kyurem raid?

Ah ok i didn't xD i was so scared

Also, do shinies are garanteed in these Tour research?

[restive turtle]

shinies are not guaranteed

[weary gorge]

Oh i got lucky with the Snivy then

Nice

[restive turtle]

event hasn't started in my timezone yet so i can't start grinding

[weary gorge]

Oh i thought it started yesterday?

[woeful pulsar]

monday 10am local time is the start

so some people still don't have it

[slender needle]

are there boosted shiny odds for this week? It sure feels like it given the amount of shinies people are reportedly getting

[weary gorge]

👁 seeeee

For what i know research encounters have boosted shiny odds

[slender needle]

Interesting

[hallow hull]

Regular shiny odds altho so pokemon have higher shiny rate

[fervent pewter]

i think im gonna get the. premium + the meloetta

i guess theres no unova tour ticket for global

[grand canopy]

nope, no ticket for the tour in general, just add-ons

raid, egg, pass deluxe

[restive turtle]

I might not get premium since I'm working this entire week

if i get through every tier then yeah

[grand canopy]

i bought the raid add-on and a friend gifted me the meloetta

[restive turtle]

def getting egg ticket and meloetta though

[grand canopy]

the tour pass is locked to 5 ranks per day anyway, will probably be unlocked on saturday/sunday for the actual event

i believe its 5 ranks per day, something small like that

[fervent pewter]

is a victini worth $15 tho

really the only thing i getting

[grand canopy]

no BUT

you also get a kyurem hat 😭

and i believe a bit more stardust so its really only victini

[fervent pewter]

i think i will def get melo, but maybe instead of victini get the

[grand canopy]

ah the deluxe pass also has the 1 guaranteed lucky trade item thingy

[grand canopy]

but if you wanna spend money i'd go for this as well

[glad rover]

I bought the egg ticket, doubt I'll be going back to New York anytime soon and definitely don't think I'll ever go to Egypt

[slender needle]

How many raid passes will they even give out?

Is it the base still or will they bump it up like for necrozma day's

[fervent pewter]

u get +1 per day

[glad rover]

The timed research I have for the nature trio is at 26 so I should hopefully finish them in time at this pace

[fervent pewter]

but moreso im doing X amount of raids per day i can at least farm dust

[plucky sky]

They actually just posted this to clarify
https://fixupx.com/NianticHelp/status/1894092647981072499?t=IUpLNLIzstcSUrnlRN_KwQ&s=19

So yeah, 5 ranks per day until the weekend, but during the weekend, its unlocked. So should probably just chill and then get a bunch of ranks from kyurem raids this weekend

Since every raid is 1 rank (legendary catch = 50 points, 50 points = 1 rank)

[grand canopy]

the kyurem forms better be a possible duo otherwise im losing it

[fervent pewter]

[restive turtle]

fuck

guess I'm not getting the lucky trinket without spending potentially a couple hundred bucks then

just accidentally bought it for myself not realizing you couldn't gift it :(

[plucky sky]

Even if you dont do many raids this weekend, there will be hourly pass tasks that you can do with the cap removed, so if you're active, you should still get a lot of ranks. Also just catching mons is a free way to get points during the weekend when its uncapped. Every 10 mons you catch is a rank, so just going around and cathing mons while doing your hourly tasks during the weekend should get you a lot of ranks. And we should all be starting the weekend with around 25 ranks already if we assume we all hit the daily caps of 5 per day until then

75 ranks when uncapped isnt that bad tbh, even with only a few legend raids

Just means you gotta be active

[restive turtle]

first raid holy shit

man I'm on a roll today

[torpid fjord]

So is this new battlepass thing only for a week?

[glad niche]

Yup

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

did u do any solos @grand canopy

[grand canopy]

nope

i always use my moms account as a duo partner, i dont even try the solo anymore

[fervent pewter]

i'm gonna go try some

[grand canopy]

this is a lvl50 m-zard soloing genesect with 6 seconds left 😭 https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/PAmmayeqjH

[grand canopy]

damn thats lvl51

[grand canopy]

good luck

[fervent pewter]

dang

i dont have a lvl 51 one

[restive turtle]

i don't have anything lvl 50 even

[grand canopy]

is without weather boost tho so if you have sunny weather give it a try

[hazy shuttle]

How do you even level Pokemon if you live in the middle of nowhere?

Scratch that, how do you level Pokemon if you don't catch a bunch of them?

[restive turtle]

I'm going crazy

[plucky sky]

You dont. You either make them your buddy and walk around to get candies, or you use rare candies or you catch more of them. Thats it

[plucky sky]

Wtf give me some of your luck

[hazy shuttle]

Gotcha

[fervent pewter]

yea just play a lot

i still dont have dust

[unique grotto]

Very nice. Here I was proud of over 10 million in PvP stardust.

[glad rover]

Sigilyph and Bouffalant obtained. Now I just need Keldeo and Volcarona for the Unova platinum

[plucky sky]

Lol ngl, I dont think anyone here gets very close to beating rvptxr in anything pvp related. Its kinda their thing

[plucky sky]

You're so close

Volcarona just takes time, but Keldeo is kinda rough

[glad rover]

Yeah it hasn't been available since that Go Fest event like 2 years ago and I didn't buy that pass

[plucky sky]

I wasn't even playing back then lol. But yeah, they havent brought it around in a long while for some reason

Maybe with the Unova focus we'll get it again some time soon?

[glad rover]

Maybe, Diancie took a long time to eventually get a global research to. Since it also was a Go Fest mythical. It only was last year in May when it got one, I remember since I was on vacation and finished the research really quickly because of that

[plucky sky]

Yeah most things come back eventually, in some form. It just takes time

Some longer than others

[glad rover]

Yeah Marshadow will take awhile to come back to

[lone scarab]

Did get plat unova off the sigilyph and bouffalant researches, is nice

Kinda surprised I have everything evolved from the region I'm terrible at doing that lol

[glad rover]

I'm close to Platinum for most of the regions. Hoenn I need 3 of the regionals so not finishing that anytime soon, Sinnoh of course I need the unreleased mythicals for that, Kalos says I need 9 of them and Volcanion's unreleased and Skiddo's a safari zone Pokémon which sucks so those are some obstacles there think Klefki's also a regional. The rest of the regions still need to release some stuff

54 mor unova mons to go to catch

Welp spotlight hour it is

[trail cloak]

Now show "cp1450-1500;cp2400-2500&!@move"

[fervent pewter]

no master league ? 😅

[trail cloak]

Hard to differentiate between PvE and ML, but sure!

I guess most !@move mons are PvP

[fervent pewter]

nah that is good point

[trail cloak]

Dust goes up, dust goes down, you can't explain that!

[fervent pewter]

what is your most repeat mon lol?

one day they will add a refund button 😄

[trail cloak]

I thought Sandslash would win because of Shadow, Shadow Claw/PS variations for both leagues

[fervent pewter]

yep lots of those lol

[midnight zealot]

does anyone know the shiny odds for the unova legendaries you get after completing raids this week? (please ping me in the response!)

[unborn garden]

Should be 1/20 as usual

But rng is rng so could take 100 raids if you're unlucky

[midnight zealot]

not for the raids, for the road to unova ones

no that's not what it's called

idk the do 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11 raids and get a free legendary

[unborn garden]

Ohh should be 1/20 as well I'd assume

[woeful pulsar]

Those should be the same. They haven't stated otherwise

[vapid scroll]

So I don’t play go too often, have I missed all the raids for today and need to try again tomorrow? Or is this place not where I need to go looking for raids. I just recently came into some remote raid passes and want to use them

[fervent pewter]

well today was genesect

there is like a few more hrs of it

[vapid scroll]

Oh theres three genesects near me right now with 20 minutes each if we can get a group together. I’m not the strongest tho

[fervent pewter]

if you have the remote raid pass i would just join thru an app like pokegenie

[vapid scroll]

Oh thank you

[trail cloak]

They're also here on Tuesday from 6-10:30ish

[fossil basin]

I Finally got a shiny genesect yesterday so i dont need to hunt no more

Screw the formies

[unborn garden]

Where the shinies at

[unborn garden]

Did 5 more, nothing, hopefully I'm just saving my luck for the tour

[plucky sky]

Lol I did 20 and got none either. Sometimes the rng just doesnt like us

[unborn garden]

I didn't want a shiny sword of justice anyway Niantic

More luck for the tour for us!

[fossil basin]

Spotlight hour for the unova starters are bugged

Noo theres an ffing unown so faraway from my house

even if i walk there it will despawn

It despawned

[unborn garden]

Rip that sucks

[grand canopy]

i'll get a shiny legend today

[unborn garden]

you got this!

[grand canopy]

starting 0/4 and no shiny torn/thundy for my mom, both raids didnt count towards my research

[fervent pewter]

my last shiny was 2/13 mind you im probably at like 2500-3000 checks since then

[grand canopy]

like what the heck

[fervent pewter]

first click of the day today was shiny lickitung

[grand canopy]

good old licki, always great to see

[fervent pewter]

after so many genesect and xern / yvel

[grand canopy]

i think total im 0/50 right now when it comes to legends between my and my moms acc

[fervent pewter]

the necro is from august and ho oh from jan

didnt realize how bad my shiny legendary luck is lolol

[grand canopy]

this game is so ass 😭

[grand canopy]

[loud gull]

so I'm a bit confused about the rank system for the tour pass. It seems we are limited to an amount of points earned per day and it say only 5 days 14 hours left to complete it. How in the world am I suposed to reach rank 100 in time?

Oh I just looked it up, the limit will be removed during the weekend event coming.

[fervent pewter]

posting here for a record of what im starting at for bouffalant

[mighty bane]

fat ass owl

[fervent pewter]

bb #30

[grand canopy]

i thought the second tag said uwu and now that i see it doesnt im kinda sad

[silent sleet]

Does the legendary trio spawn at 10 am your time or just for the raid hour tonight?

[glad niche]

Very nice
6 times what I have

[glad niche]

10am local time

[ashen gazelle]

Is anyone else having issues with the “raids timed research” registering when you win raids? I just finished a raid and it didn’t give me credit in the research

[woeful pulsar]

hang on lemme forward a message abou this i saw in another server

[ashen gazelle]

Ughhhhhhh okay I did contact support but I want to raid damnit

Thanks though, I’m glad it’s not just me

[grand canopy]

all 3 genies from the free research also non-shiny

[ashen gazelle]

Are they shiny locked as a reward? Or is it just bad luck?

[grand canopy]

[weary gorge]

The Swords of Justice are shiny locked?

[grand canopy]

no

[weary gorge]

Dang not lucky then

Are they available in raid just today?

[grand canopy]

yep

wednesday are lando/thundy/torn

[woeful pulsar]

https://store.pokemongolive.com/offer-redemption?passcode=WJ5DFWASCL65W fusion energy code

[glad niche]

Wait there was a spotlight hour for unova starters

I missed it

[grand canopy]

theres another one tomorrow

because the earlier timezones had no spotlight hour due to mistake

[plucky sky]

Its Tuesday and Wednesday 6pm-7pm local time. My Tuesday hasn't even happened yet, so depending on your time zone, it might be the same for you

[twin cove]

Logo revealed too

[grand canopy]

smells like kubfu

[kindred stirrup]

Why are these legendary CP so low? 😭Tf imma do with a 1800 Genesect. I'm greatful cause it's my first one, but... 💀

[trail cloak]

600bst with somewhat balanced stats problems

[glad niche]

Because they're level 20

[clear vessel]

I got shiny thundurus from the research

[fossil basin]

Kubfu, urshifu + its gmax forms were datamined so its possible

[trail cloak]

It's 100% Urshifu just from looking at the logo & color scheme

[wise aspen]

WHY THE HECK DID THE GAME JUST TAKE MY MOBILE RAID PASS AND KICK ME OUT OFBTHE RAID?!?!

There were still 10 minutes left

Wth

My dicontempt is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[plucky sky]

If you lost a raid pass due to a bug, support is pretty good about getting you a pass back.

[fossil basin]

Make sure its like an actual person

bot support can be mean

[lone scarab]

This happens to me a lot lately where I just get randomly yeeted from raid lobbies even if I'm standing right on top of it

[fossil basin]

Me too!

[lone scarab]

Usually it doesn't actually kick you from the lobby tho so you can just rejoin but it's real silly

[fossil basin]

i actually crashed like 5 times while doing a solo deoyxs attack

well kicked out

i did defeat it but it was cutting it close

[lone scarab]

Gotta artificially increase its difficulty lol

[fossil basin]

best part it heals all your health, no need to recover fainted mons

well pokemons health

but 5 times? Thats too much

[grand canopy]

😭

[plucky sky]

So for someone who didn't have any issues, this just means double rewards/encounters?

44 encounters instead of 22 from raid research

(11 paid, 11 free)

[grand canopy]

i better get a shiny now

[weary gorge]

Ohhhh so that's what happened

I was about to say for some reason i got double reward for that time research and idk what i did

But when i caught them all it was back to normal

Unfortunely no shiny tho 😔

Also how tf are people getting Kyurem fusion energy? I did a raid with a white kyurem!

[unborn garden]

You can only get the energy when the tour is active where you are

[ocean orbit]

Free legendarys rn on pogo

Niantic fucked up

They gave everyone even if you completed the 11 raids thing all the encounters

My alt had em and it never completed the raid thing and my main that did complete had all of em

[weary gorge]

Nah we deserved it

[weary gorge]

Really? I mean that's kinda ass to limitate it that way

[trail cloak]

Could be intentional, could be incompetence

[unborn garden]

Always been that way, the primals and mega ray were only obtainable when global dropped where you are

[glad niche]

Intentional to get engagement during the event

[fossil basin]

My alt got shiny lando T from the free encounters..

Welp its going to home later

and maybe will go to pla

[rocky field]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my game broke

maybe

oh nvm apparently other people are getting it too

i got all the unova legendaries but only did 1 raid

[woeful pulsar]

yeah it was compensation for it being bugged

[fervent pewter]

for once the shitty game benefit us

nothing good for me from mine tho

[fair cloak]

I got a few 3* pokemon from those

[uncut trail]

i got a shiny virizion from it

[fair cloak]

No shiny pokemon for me. My 3* pokemon that I got was: Thundurus, Tornadus, and Virizion

[glad rover]

I got a shiny Cobalion and a 98% Therian Tornadus but other then that nothing noteworthy

Kinda strange that they didn't make the shiny legends from this guaranteed catch since the Cobalion broke out of a few balls but this is a make up thing I guess so they probably put this together last minute

[grand canopy]

only shiny legends from raids are guaranteed catches, research,wild or gbl are not

[lone scarab]

Paid doesn't add encounters it just has xl candy

But it also did get duplicated for same reason

[unborn garden]

Specifically premier balls have an 100% catch rate on shinies :)

[glad rover]

Interesting

But still have Cobalion now at least

[unborn garden]

Congrats!

[grand canopy]

ooh thats a nice way to put it

[crisp relic]

.alyz. has given 1 Gen Rep to fang5829

[unborn garden]

[lone scarab]

Think it's still more accurate to say it's tied to the feature of raids/max raids considering beast and safari balls have also been included in that, with safari not being a guaranteed capture outside of shiny raids

[woeful pulsar]

And also raid shinies that aren't legendaries are not guaranteed catch

[hollow beacon]

Hi, all. Can someone explain to me how to progress through the Tour pass? Is it just the activities? Because I feel like that’s not going to be enough points in 4 days to complete it.

I’ve caught some pokemon, and that didn’t increase the “to next level” by 5 points

[lone scarab]

You can get 5 levels a day right now, the cap goes away for global so you really just can get a little head start before then

[glad rover]

For some reason mine capped at 9 yesterday and today after catching those legendaries I only went up 3 ranks. So does the free side of it decrease by one rank a day?

[hollow beacon]

Oh. I’m not crazy then. When does that cap go away?

[woeful pulsar]

unova tour this weekend uncaps it

[glad niche]

150+the 50 from research

Ridiculously low

[glad rover]

Oh I guess that does make sense. Amount of points needed is higher for each rank so it caps at a certain amount

[halcyon plume]

They aren't even pretending like you aren't completely screwed if you don't have a big group of friends who play the game or way too much money to spend on remote passes

Pancake mouse :D

[woeful pulsar]

if people haven't caught them yet, you could save them for either the makeup spotlight hour for 2x candy. or either catch a few a day to get pass levels, or save for unova tour and catch them all while the level is uncapped

[halcyon plume]

Is one of the Genesect guaranteed shiny?

[woeful pulsar]

nope, all the ones in that research have 1/20 chance so you hit the luck

[oblique ivy]

when are Reshiram and Zekrom raids? There's only like 3 days left of the event and I've seen no raids pop up with them in it

[woeful pulsar]

today (26th) is the 3 genies in raids. 27th 10am local time is reshiram raids. 28th 10am local time is zekrom raids

[oblique ivy]

okay, thank you for clarification

[stable torrent]

Oh wow. We get a second set of the raid reward pokemon?

[plucky sky]

Yes, compensation for a bug some people experienced

[stable torrent]

I'll take it. It got me a free shiny.

[stable torrent]

Out of curiosity, what was the bug?

[plucky sky]

For some people, doing raids wasn't counting for the research

[stable torrent]

Ahh

[unborn garden]

Really? I've never taken more than one ball for a shiny non legend in a raid

[woeful pulsar]

yeah it's not guaranteed

really really high, since it's not a legendary mon. but not 100%

[unborn garden]

Huh cool, ty for informing me :>

[kind yoke]

This game cannot be fr

[lone scarab]

better than shaymins lol

was def expecting pecharunts 1000x9 requirement one day lol

[grand canopy]

RCC4AJPAUCW86

code for 50 blaze fusion energy

[plucky sky]

Direct link:
https://store.pokemongolive.com/offer-redemption?passcode=RCC4AJPAUCW86

[plucky sky]

Yeah, ngl, I've seen a lot worse early steps in masterworks. Still nervous about steps 3-6, but for now this isnt bad

[plucky sky]

Reminder, masterworks are SUPPOSED to take a long time. Its why they have no time limit. Some people spend years on a single masterwork

[lone scarab]

I just like when they're at least somewhat under your control, the kecleon step was too much

[cerulean halo]

as long as none of the pages require a plat unova dex medal. i'm still stuck on mew page one because of mewtwo. hoping for a remote shadow mewtwo raid or possible mega soon, else imma keep grinding to 50!

[grand canopy]

i dont think it'll be platinum because theres no free keldeo

[vapid scroll]

Hey is anybody interested in an xxl genesect? From pogo

[warm monolith]

Are any of the encounters in “Road to Unova: Raids timed research” a guarantee shiny?

[vapid scroll]

No

They are not guaranteed shiny

[warm monolith]

Well then I JUST GOT A SHINY GENESECT!!!!

[vapid scroll]

Nice. I remember someone had some good trades for a shiny pogo non white ball genesect I think

[restive turtle]

show appraisal

but censor the location also so you don't dox yourself

[ornate rune]

are shadow pokemon worth it? from my experience they seem pretty fragile

[unborn garden]

They take 15% more damage but dish out 20% more making them more glass cannon-y

Often times shadows outdps a vast majority of other pokemon, and sometimes even megas

They are worth investing a bit later, they cost a lot of dust to power up so I wouldn't recommend to new/early game players

But save up the good ones you get

[trail cloak]

Since you're battling against a timer in raids (180 or 300 seconds, depending on the raid tier) doing 20% more damage can be the difference between victory and defeat.

If you typically raid in a group of 4+ people, shadow Pokemon won't be all that worthwhile of an investment

[vapid scroll]

Wait you can dox yourself? Just from showing what city youre in?

Or is this for smaller cities. I live in a pretty big city

[unborn garden]

It'll just show where you caught it which gives people an idea where you live

It won't say the exact location

[woeful pulsar]

yeah there's some places that say a pretty small district sometimes

[quiet kite]

Killer moveset on this one

[glad niche]

Yep. They're better than any non shadow mon

[glad niche]

Yet me, who lives in a city, just gets the country kek

[fair cloak]

If you put a Pokémon into a gym (by defeating all other trainers Pokemon or they are part of your team), how many Pokemon coins do you gain?

Ie my garchomp has been in a gym for over 4 days now

[trail cloak]

1 per 10 minutes it's in the gym, up to 50 total when it's knocked out (which is the limit for one day)

[fervent pewter]

where is your dust

[quiet kite]

Dust sitting in the inventory is wasted. I spend all mine immediately

[silent sleet]

Probably a stupid question, but the shiny rate isn’t boosted during raid hour, is it?

[unborn garden]

Nope still 1/20

[modest totem]

What’s Giovanni’s team rn?

Is it still with palkia?

[primal ivy]

I just discovered all the legendary rewards in the Unova tour, see everyone apparently gets a shiny Genesect. I also got a shiny Thundurus. Was that part of the reward or did I just get lucky?

[fossil basin]

Lucky

i didnt get a shiny genesect from it. My shiny genesect was from a raid

i didnt get a shiny thundurus

[fair cloak]

Is it per gym each day or a total of 50 no matter how many gyms that you have Pokemon in?

[quiet kite]

The odds are 1/20 so you have basically every player hitting odds at the same time

And so many of those rolls were on Genesect, so of course a lot of people got them

[lone scarab]

It's given when your pokemons knocked out and 50 total amongst them per day

[fair cloak]

Ok and thanks

[lone scarab]

So if you put 5 pokemon in one day, and 5 the next day, and they all get knocked out the second day, you get a whopping 50 coins

it really is silly cuz ya can have mons in for months in rural areas lol

[fair cloak]

Also, is there a time frame before I can post screenshots of my Pokemon from my account on here?

[quiet kite]

You can after you become level 6 or something

[fair cloak]

Ok and thank you

I didn’t even get any shiny Pokemon from those I got this morning from those free catches. Oh well

[trail cloak]

Same

[slender needle]

Really hoping they allow more shiny legendaries to be transferable to home that doesn’t take a week just for one

[plucky sky]

Still Palkia
https://leekduck.com/rocket-lineups/

[modest totem]

Alright thanks

[plucky sky]

You just got lucky. There are no guaranteed shinies in this event unless you consider the shiny meloetta paid masterwork research

[plucky sky]

For instance, I got a shiny Landorus from the research, but no other shinies

[primal ivy]

Wow, thanks! That’s awesome!

[crisp relic]

urbanhoustonian has given 1 Gen Rep to eli_sussy

[restive turtle]

goated

[grand canopy]

?????

why does that spawn already 😭

oh its for the livestream 😭

[plucky sky]

New code:
https://store.pokemongolive.com/offer-redemption?passcode=GOTOURUNOVA

Site is broken rn

But for the future

[vocal bolt]

Is it just for a specific time ?

[glad niche]

Can't load it

[trail cloak]

They warned ya

[plucky sky]

Yeah the site is having issues rn, as I said above. But the code is active for whenever the site comes back

GOTOURUNOVA

Is the code

[glad niche]

Oh I didn't read that

[trail cloak]

The old Internet hug of death

[uncut trail]

oh, my first shiny reshiram. i thought i had one before

[plucky sky]

Congrats!

[glad niche]

👍

[glad rover]

Got the Pikachus, didn't realize they were spawning until a few minutes ago and ending in 5 minutes

[hallow hull]

They are gone now

But they will come back on Saturday

And sunday

[slender needle]

Well that’s a nice surprise

[cerulean halo]

i just got a costume pika spawn and it's 13 minutes past

[hallow hull]

I think they will spawn the whole day

[fair cloak]

I’m just waiting for Giovanni to show up now

[mild whale]

My question is who is Hilbert, Hilda, Nate and rosa?

[lone scarab]

The black/white/black 2/white 2 protagonists I assume

[glad rover]

Yup that's their names, Hilbert and Hilda are for BW1 and Nate and Rosa are BW2

[fair cloak]

Quick question. How many times do I have to beat the rocket leaders before facing Giovanni? I had faced the female rocket leader, Arlo and Cliff twice.

And I had beaten all of them

[glad niche]

Once

Check your special research tab to see if you have obtained a super rocket radar (black)

[fair cloak]

I don’t see that item

[cerulean halo]

Giovanni is only active during rocket takeover events when you get the research that gives you the super radar or if you save the items, otherwise you won't see him at random

did anyone else notice that remote raids were briefly unlimited today for a bit? seems they flipped it too early and flipped it back

[fair cloak]

Ok. Thank you

[glad niche]

Nope

[ivory halo]

Is it just me or the TAGS went away?

[sharp finch]

[weary gorge]

SHINY GENESECT
