[plucky sky]

The level 50 and 15 atk are what matter

The hp and def dont affect dmg

[unborn garden]

Sick sick

[plucky sky]

I only learned recently that the primals boost multiple elements each, not just their own. We all can learn something new sometimes sometimes stuff just escapes our view

[woeful pulsar]

and then on top of that, IV actually makes such little difference in damage, people vastly overestimate it 0/0/0 vs 15/15/15 is like practically a 5% increase or something

[unborn garden]

Idk why but my brain was getting confused and thinking cp and level were the same thing even tho I know they aren't aha

[unborn garden]

Yeah aha, its nice learning new things

[plucky sky]

Yeah, because base atk and level are a much bigger factor. Your atk IV is more about min maxing. The way people talk about IVs, you'd think they are massive

[unborn garden]

For most it doesn't matter but 5% on a behemoth blade could add a decent amount

[woeful pulsar]

i remembered today after my final raid that i shoulda mega evolved a fairy type this weekend for zac/zam candy

[unborn garden]

The lower the damage the less it matters

[unborn garden]

Oh no, yeah i kept seeing primal groudon which did the most damage but the candy gains must have been worse

[woeful pulsar]

at least i'll be able to do steel raids over the next week to finish evolving my bisharp

[plucky sky]

Yeah like if you're at 1% hp when soloing something, that 5% could be meaningful. I guess its about the situation. But overall, IVs matter less than people make it seem

IVs being 5% max is also why a shadow at 0/0/0 does more dmg than a hundo normal

[unborn garden]

Yeah, they do look nice having 15 in a stat tho aha

[plucky sky]

Yeah for sure lmao

Same reason we grind/farm/care about shinies and backgrounds

Those are a 0% difference

[unborn garden]

Shadows are just that good, makes sense why they don't let us bottlecap them

Yeahhhh ahhaha all for the aesthetic and rarity

[craggy venture]

I honestly can't wait to see what happens on the 23rd and 24th of August

[unborn garden]

Going to be fun, hopefully its just like a second go fest aha

[plucky sky]

Could be super disappointing, but as of now, I'm excited

[craggy venture]

I'm excited, but I'm trying to set my excitement to a minimum

[unborn garden]

Just got these stickers, have they been in the game before?

[craggy venture]

Ye

From last year

[unborn garden]

Ok sick, weird I got them now aha

[wild lodge]

I had similar thinking but I just got a volcanion and no stat is 15. Fire/water is good too

[unborn garden]

Yeahhh sucks it wasn't amazing

[loud gull]

This event has been fulfilling, gotten shinys I never had and now see really powerful shiny doggos

[unborn garden]

Yeah good event

[loud gull]

A good 9 shiny unown, I swear they been boosted more than last 5 years

[wild lodge]

If I invest in zacian, i will be using it in regular raids as well. So will use the defense and hp stats

[craggy venture]

I haven't gotten much shinies till the end of day two

But at least i got a shiny unown

[unborn garden]

That sucks, did you have the ticket?

[craggy venture]

Yep

[unborn garden]

Oooo nice

[unborn garden]

Yikes unlucky then

[craggy venture]

Yep, reminds me of unova tour

Tho, that one was kind of a mess

But i had fun going out with one of my siblings

[unborn garden]

Hoping you get lucky at the next event

[craggy venture]

Thx

[unborn garden]

I'm glad you had fun!

[restive turtle]

wowie

[kindred musk]

mid

[unborn garden]

Very nice!

[craggy venture]

Not bad

[twin cove]

Last year’s go fest logo, seems like this year you could get stickers of all the past go fests

[unborn garden]

That's pretty nice, its fun collecting stickers

[unborn garden]

I didn't know about the power up 6 (insert type) tasks gave the rare encounters dammit

Missed a few carbink and frigi checks

[little umbra]

does anyone by chance have a shiny white flower flabebe?

[viscid lagoon]

Hello, everyone! Is this a good candidate for the golden bottle cap?

[unborn garden]

It's the best rock type attacker but ttar is much tankier so usually better, we should get a shiny one some time in the next few years as well

[tribal dragon]

Is anyone willing to become friends and trade a zamezenta on the long run?

[restive turtle]

you have to be within 100m to trade

[restive turtle]

damn, now i look like a fool.

[viscid lagoon]

OOH I see. Can you suggest which general ones to use it on? Mine expires in 6 days

[unborn garden]

For meta stuff zarude, the dogs, mythicals that are good on master league like keldeo and meloetta if you like pvp, or just any pokemon sentimental or special to you, if you like diancie its worth the cap

It's a pretty nice shiny tbh

[viscid lagoon]

The dogs are both 2 points away from hundo so it seems like a waste. I'm not really into PVP. I'll look into my roster, as I don't have Zarude yet. Thank you so much for answering!

[unborn garden]

No problem aha, zygarde is also a good shout, tho we may get a shiny zygarde next year

And a mega for zygarde is coming one day

[tribal dragon]

Damn, thought best friends can trade remotely. Thanks for the reply!

[crisp relic]

niceguynilen has given 1 Gen Rep to carkid

[loud gull]

I was thinking of the shiny but who knows when that will be available

[unborn garden]

By next tour I'd assume

Maybe masterwork

[grand canopy]

still have no idea what to bottlecap, this is so silly

[quiet kite]

theres a whoooole lotta "maybes" in this chat rn

[wanton urchin]

To all I’m friends with if you don’t get a gift today I apologise I’m having a sort of day off from Pokémon go due to heat wave lol

[quiet kite]

how dare u

jk take care of yourself

[rugged wing]

Need opinions

Which is better option for gold bottle cap?
Kyogre - lucky pokemon, 2399 cp with 15/15/13 stats
Or
Crowned shiny Zacian 2949 cp, with 12/13/13 stats

[grand canopy]

zacian

[craggy venture]

Zacian

[trail cloak]

Zacian

Once maxed out to 50, Kyogre will miss only a single actual hit point

[fervent pewter]

the hit point could hit the bulkpoint 😮

[trail cloak]

Probably not as much as Zacian's defense and 1 HP

[fervent pewter]

i guess the crown zacian just needs 15 14 13

big W for me my best one is 15 14 14

[grand canopy]

love to see it

[loud gull]

Might need Zacian maxed out before the next event in August.

[fervent pewter]

im guessing it is back in raids too which is nice

[trail cloak]

Lucky traded shiny Zacian last year, I got 15/13/15 and my friend got the fundo 15/15/14

It was nice just raiding for energy

[fervent pewter]

no shiny

[grand canopy]

4x exp + 4x dust

[glad niche]

It normally never is on debut

[grand canopy]

and whatever space time anomalies are

[glad niche]

Ooh

[fervent pewter]

nah we get plenty of first time shinies

they just gotta milk it 😅

i didnt play a lot of arceus but they are rare pokemon in the anomaly?

oh it says return, have we had them before?

[grand canopy]

yeah i never saw them in pogo

[fervent pewter]

maybe sinnoh tour

same never heard of em 😂

[sharp finch]

Meh

If they brought the origin forms back with their moves it would be cooler

Then again I have both moves accessible so I guess I'm fine

Thinking more of the group of people I know that never got a chance at them

[fervent pewter]

they need to let us etm to it 😂

[sharp finch]

I mean that would make it so my palkia grind was for nothing

It took me 15 palkia to get it's signature move

[fervent pewter]

how so?

[sharp finch]

When it was a 1 in 5 I believe

For for 1 palkia with its move

[fervent pewter]

it was guarantee for your choice, not sure odds if you picked dialga

[sharp finch]

I picked dialga cause dialga is just better

In every way

Or hear me out

Release the rest of the sinnoh mythicals finally

We are going to be done with galar dex by the time the rest of the mythicals drop

[fervent pewter]

who do we need just arc and manaphy phione

[plucky sky]

Sure, but improving something is still ideal, even if you didnt benefit from it originally. Would be nice for all the people who weren't able to grind it or got super unlucky

[grand canopy]

i saw lots of talk about an origin raid day so maybe

[fervent pewter]

and hisui goodra 🙏

[grand canopy]

[glad niche]

Yeah that got unlocked for ultra unlock

[kindred zephyr]

Isn't this beautiful?

[unborn garden]

Very nice with the background

Sucks its attack is low but not the worst

[quiet kite]

its attack is good

One of the locals got the shiny already ✨️

Looking forward to the hunt after work

#PokemonGO #ShinyPokemon

X · Jun 30, 2025, 10:16 PM

Wth

oh party hat encounters or items can appear from em

[craggy venture]

Such a beautiful shiny with that bg

I'm surprised i got one shiny and six bg of it

[fossil basin]

Me who didn’t get a single shiny zam or zac

But a 98 background zac

[craggy venture]

That's not bad

[fossil basin]

and a floor iv background zama XD

Its funny

[muted ginkgo]

Should i form change this zacian (It has the background and its the best one i got)? I wasn't able to grind zamazenta, and only had a limited amount of time to grind zacian when it was around (I really wanted the shiny)

[alpine ether]

is it going already???

[craggy venture]

Ye

[muted ginkgo]

just kinda thinking about things lol. Like, will it come back in raids as the crowned form so i can grind it again.

[craggy venture]

I was happy to get the shiny since I didn't get lucky when it was released and during my trip to Jersey City

My brother did get them both twice

[fossil basin]

I mean that post is nz time

maybe not you yet

[muted ginkgo]

near the end of the event, i met 2 people playing and one got a 98% shiny zacian with the background (Im jealous).

[alpine ether]

yeah i checked 🥲

[craggy venture]

Meanwhile, i got 11 jersey city backgrounds and 6 global backgrounds 😂

[muted ginkgo]

ct wait for gimmeghoul to gimme the shiny

[craggy venture]

That's some luck right there

[fossil basin]

now

do i do 2?

Sorry second zac is named after my relatives puppy

[craggy venture]

I'm planning to get two of the crown forms (three since i have enough for a third zacian, but still)

[muted ginkgo]

The other one had a 2nd shiny zacian they were looking to maybe trade to me, but no lucky trade would've made for some bad ivs. not that it mattered as i dumped a bunch of dust into things before the event.

[fossil basin]

guess ill walk my zac later for energy

[craggy venture]

I'm waiting for tomorrow before i give my brother the extra zacian bg

[muted ginkgo]

i did around 15 raids in the time i had for the event, and not getting the shiny is expected cuz my raid luck sucks

i would say it does

[fossil basin]

My shiny luck went to a different pokemon game

[muted ginkgo]

sleep 🔥

[craggy venture]

Same, but i still try

[muted ginkgo]

im getting back into the grind on sleep. after just losing my first account to idk what.

i need to pick back up the basics (again)

darkrai event really helped

[craggy venture]

I will probably take a little break from go and start grinding in hsr tomorrow after maintenance

[kindred musk]

Bruh I’m cooked I ran outta quest and bonus points

So lame bruh

Anyway to complete this before it’s done?

[fossil basin]

Do more raids?

[cloud ferry]

Meanwhile the f2p player

[unborn garden]

At this point not really it pretty much needs you to play every day and Max it out each day

[onyx surge]

So I used my gold bottle cap on zygarde thinking that if I work towards making it a hundo, that I'll actually work for the cells. (I need 175 to get from 50% to 100% form)

I think it's working so far

At this point I don't feel comfortable buying the monthly trinket passes

[fossil basin]

You do you man

its up to you what you use your bottle cap for

[rocky field]

i’m currently in the lead of a colouring competition and the prize is pokemon merch :D

specifically pokémon go merch

[fossil basin]

Gl

[kindred musk]

raids don't count no more

i ran outta bonus points

[kindred musk]

i don't play everyday brother

[rocky field]

thank you :) i’m hoping it’s something like a pokeball+, but it’s more likely to be something like a Go Fest shirt or a hat and some pins

[crisp relic]

bubblesys has given 1 Gen Rep to dubiousdelphine

[rocky field]

but they’ve given away Pokeball+ as prizes for competitions before so who knows

[fossil basin]

I use a pogo + its useful

but issue is you kinda have to use a button with a rubberband or something if its the old model

[onyx surge]

I just need that motivation to get 100% zygarde so I can flex how I have no life outsider of work besides Pokémon Go

[trail cloak]

I got 75% of the cells from the route I made from home to my kids' preschool

+5 a week for the year

Didn't deal much with routes before that

[unborn garden]

The background is pretty nice

[onyx surge]

Yeah i must say working full time has somewhat taken a toll on my desire to grind zygarde cells.

[restive turtle]

not getting a good zygarde has taken a toll on my desire to grind cells

and then i dropped 20 bucks

[plucky sky]

I have the cells (263 right now), but my zygarde has worse IVs than I want. If we get another bottle cap, I'll use it on zygarde and make it complete form, but for now, there's no reason. My Zacian was a better choice since its not like Zygarde has use outside of pvp anyway, and I dont do pvp

Part of me was coping for a 2nd zygarde encounter, but now I would just need a 2nd bottlecap

[plucky sky]

Then you should know you'll never complete the passes f2p. Thats a pretty big part of it. Not like its a big deal, but you need to be realistic

[kindred musk]

wat i can't even pay to finish it

[plucky sky]

Yes, exactly. So if you arent playing regularly, you should realize you will never complete the passes

Like I said, not a big deal. But yes, playing daily is a big part of maxing out pogo stuff, if thats something you want

[unborn garden]

Might gwt a shiny one next year

[plucky sky]

Yeah, that was the 2nd part of my coping

Either we get another one or we get the shiny

Bottlecap works too, I guess. But Id prefer the shiny obviously

I would hate to spend 250 cells just for the shiny to come out though

Those took a year of almost daily routes

Hero Arc?

[unborn garden]

That would hurt

[kindred musk]

i thought i could do it in a few days

i didn't know there was a stupid max to it

[unborn garden]

Yeah the caps only get lifted if the pass is going through a big event like go tour or fest

Most of the time you gotta grind each day to cap it

2 ½ tiers per day from just the points, then about 1 ½ from daily tasks and maybe 8 or 10 from weekly tasks

Premium gets another daily task and some extra ones for other stuff as well i believe

[quiet kite]

proud to be running the most hateable team in ML history

[kindred musk]

i accidentally bought this pass deluxe for 8 dollars instead of the go fest one and now i can't even complete it this god damn stupid game

[unborn garden]

That really sucks

Sorry to hear that

I do see people use kyoger and zacian so this might do well

[fervent pewter]

sometimes i am forced to play master league i only have f2p guys tho

[quiet kite]

Zacian/Kyogre are an infamous duo

[grand canopy]

i finally know what to bottlecap

[fervent pewter]

just gonna leave us hanging

[grand canopy]

this fella

[quiet kite]

im bottlecapping nothing because I stood my ground and didnt buy it

I cannot sanction the buffoonery that was the pricing for that pass

[fervent pewter]

hell yea brother i held out too

speaking with our wallets 🗣️

[cloud ferry]

The price was probably set based on the amount of hype on the internet.

If all people are talking about on Reddit is this bottle cap since it got discovered though datamining, then I’d set the price that high as well.

[woeful pulsar]

idt they're browsing reddit for that

[fervent pewter]

twitter is much more on their radar

tbh $20 for any hundo is not unreasonable. people spend way more raiding trying to get them

[plucky sky]

Also this is a mobile game. I think some people are out of touch for what mobile games tend to charge for stuff. None of these prices have been unreasonable compared to other mobile games

Like we're still doing wayyy better than Scopely's other games

A $20 battlepass is kinda the norm

[woeful pulsar]

2 things can be true

[cloud ferry]

I’d be very surprised if they are not constantly monitoring all of these platforms. It’s not liking calling API and running sentiment analysis is anything new or difficult for these platforms.

[woeful pulsar]

it can be standard price for mobile games, and a rip-off

[plucky sky]

100%

I would never say mobile game pricing isnt a rip off. Just that this is standard for mobile games and nothing outside the norm

[woeful pulsar]

i wonder if they've noticed that u. zorua has been missing from spawns for like 3-4 months

[fervent pewter]

is not missing, they just turn it off..

even more criminal

[woeful pulsar]

this has been your response every time someone complains about pricing and idgi are they paying you? let people complain without minimising it every time dude

[plucky sky]

It took them this long to make shadow and max battles remotable

So not sure how much they care about responses tbh

[plucky sky]

I only respond like this when it concerns mobile game pricing because I am experienced in this topic. Just offering perspective. Everyone has the right to complain and I'd never say they don't. Just offering some perspective. It doesnt minimize anyone's feelings.

I play a lot of mobile games, and have played a lot over the years, so I'm just offering some context that this is very normal for this landscape. Doesnt mean its good

[woeful pulsar]

the perspective literally means nothing if you don't play the other games though

it's legit pointless

[plucky sky]

I guess, objectively. But it explains why they think this pricing is fine as a company and why there wont be much backlash

Since its the industry norm

If you dont play other mobile games that use this pricing, you might not realize that this stuff is the default

Like I said, doesnt mean its good or right. Just offering context that they likely view these prices as the default because as a industry, players have put up with it

Once again, not trying to minimize the complaints. If you see the prices as high or unreasonable, you're valid and probably objectively correct. My only point was that I see why them as a company have taken this approach

[kindred musk]

what the hell bro typed a whole essay

[quiet kite]

ok, so I often take up this kind of position with regards to normal games when people complain about things. I get that, really, and I think I get where youre coming from partially

but why come here all the time to take this kind of position on pricing in a mobile game

like, when people complain about shiny locks in mainline games, Ill often point out that soft reset hunting probably isnt the kind of play experience the devs want to encourage anymore, especially with loading times the way they are now. and in response inevitably people will yell back that im wrong and they should just give players the choice

so its a similar kinda position, see? im willing to give the devs the benefit of the doubt that they have a reasonable idea behind the choices they made

but... pricing in a mobile game??? what is the thought process behind taking up this stance

[quiet kite]

I also dont understand the point

[plucky sky]

All I said was that the pricing was similar to normal pricing I see in other game. Literally didnt say it was good or bad and then even specified that it was bad. I really dont know where all this is coming from or why its such a big deal. Ive already explained my thought process that giving context is usually a good thing to help people understand the situation. I was literally just offering supplemental info and then said it didnt excuse it and was still bad. I feel like I'm going crazy here like nobody is reading what I'm saying

[woeful pulsar]

that would stand if you said it like one time. but i've seen it repeatedly from you every time pricing is brought up it feels like you're pushing an agenda

[plucky sky]

Im not. Nobody is paying me. I have no stake in this. The topic brought up multiple times by different people, so I offer the context every time so that people fully understand the situation

[woeful pulsar]

also you're making the assumption that people complaining don't already know about standard mobile game pricing

[plucky sky]

Yes, I am, or at least that somebody else reading their complaint might not know. This is a discord with a lot of people, so every few days when it's brought up, I assume maybe 1 or 2 new people see it

[woeful pulsar]

and that goes back to the "it's pointless" where you're yelling into the void. every time someone says "it's expensive" you say "guys other mobile games charge the same as well that's why they're charging so much" which serves literally no purpose to the people that think it's expensive other than to minimise the complaint

[plucky sky]

I already said that wasnt my intent, but now that I know its being taken that way, I'll stop bringing it up. I thought it was helpful info, but if it bothers people, I won't say it anymore

[woeful pulsar]

i mean you can do what you want, but when you have to write so much to defend yourself from just a couple of sentences calling you out it kinda says something

[plucky sky]

You're acting like you didnt respond to everything I said in this convo with another few sentences...its not like I sent all this in a vacuum without anything in between...If people didnt keep responding back, I wouldnt continue responding. Usually if someone directs something at me, I respond directly.

Like you can scroll up...every time I said 2 things, there's something of yours in between

And you're an admin. If an admin is calling you out, there's more power there than some random. Of course I'm going to defend myself

[woeful pulsar]

you defended yourself fine when someone else called you out for similar, admin ain't got nothing to do with my point being completely valid. seeing a coloured role as making my point more valid is hella weird

[plucky sky]

Why is that weird? You have the power to ban me for whatever you want. If my boss says something to me vs some random on the street, I take the thing my boss says more seriously because there's power behind that

You're basically a discord police officer, but your gun is kick/ban. Why wouldn't I take what you say as official stuff

[woeful pulsar]

seeing as you conveniently ignored half my message

you defended yourself fine when someone else called you out for similar, admin ain't got nothing to do with my point being completely valid.

so bringing up the roles just makes you sound like a sore loser

[plucky sky]

Yet youre the admin who continues to respond to me. Why wouldnt I assume everything you say is official moderation?

[cloud ferry]

Careful now, soon there will be people saying mod lives matter and setting off counter protests

[woeful pulsar]

damn you're really dodging the point every time this is crazy

the shilling is wild

[plucky sky]

I never said random criticism doesnt matter, just that admin criticism holds power behind it. Yes, I've responded to other criticism. Not sure how that makes a difference, but acting like your role is meaningless is just wrong

[fervent pewter]

what is admin are you the head hauncho lol

[plucky sky]

Ngl, I dont think I've ever seen a server admin of a server this big act this unprofessional. 185k members and you're acting like a random troll

[plucky sky]

Acting like the ability to ban/kick 185k people isnt real is wild

[fervent pewter]

tbh i didnt ready any of that exchange, just never heard of admin before and curious

[woeful pulsar]

apparently when you call out someone consistently defending shitty practices as if its their job it's "unprofessional" this isn't my job bro

[fervent pewter]

you made this discord then?

[plucky sky]

Admin is above Mod. Basically server owners without the sole ownership

[woeful pulsar]

nah, just have admin powers, @weary dock made it

[plucky sky]

I mean, when you have power over 185k people, it kinda matters, even if you dont think so. Im sure anyone you kick/ban would think differently

Also "consistently defending shitty practices" when I already said I don't defend it and think its bad really shows you read nothing I said

[woeful pulsar]

god if only i could kick or ban people for not liking them

yeah you don't defend it, you merely make the same points that someone who is defending it would, with the addendum that you're not defending it

[plucky sky]

So you understood nothing I said

Gotcha

[plucky sky]

What's stopping you?

[fervent pewter]

i just got a god pack in pocket tcg

[woeful pulsar]

https://bsky.app/profile/joemerrick.bsky.social/post/3lsvi4t2bq22j i'm glad i don't have to hunt this event because i don't particularly care about costume shinies

Joe Merrick (@joemerrick.bsky.social)

-# ↩ Joe Merrick (@joemerrick.bsky.social)
Like it's ridiculous. If this is the intent they really messed up

They told the creators they work with that both would be Shiny, but only event are.
Event ones have such a microscopic change that you can't even see it in-game except in AR mode if you go right up close.

leak

[alpine ether]

oh

[fervent pewter]

i wouldnt have minded this so much if they didnt go out of their way to tell peoppe the normal one could be shiny

[alpine ether]

[alpine ether]

they.. could have been more clear about that

[woeful pulsar]

agree for sure. intentionally vague wording in news post + straight up lies to the promoters is crazy

[woeful pulsar]

damn that's actually crazy good, double gold

[fervent pewter]

7500 cards its my first god pack

wait , the costume ghimmi cant evolve?

[woeful pulsar]

correct

[alpine ether]

oh my fucking god are you serious

wait i thought they said anniversary gimmis cant be spawned with the coin bag??

[cloud ferry]

This point has some merit to be honest. Admin here has the power of DA+police+court…

[woeful pulsar]

yeah they did the whole post was just worded so vaguely to kinda sorta imply that maybe perhaps there's a possibility of normal gimmi shiny

it's so strange

[woeful pulsar]

yeah but idt you'll find many big servers where an admin will just go "i don't like this guy" and shoot them at least not in the communities i've been in. those deffo exist but they're terminally online as well

[alpine ether]

genuinely so pissed 😭 i told someone i was gonna get one for them bc they decided to be as vague as possible and make people believe both forms were shiny

why do they fumble the most simplest of concepts

[woeful pulsar]

and it's probably a meltan style thing too where it's only possible shiny during events so no shiny normal gimmi on this run currently

the kicker will be if the next time they bring back the event is for 10th anniversary with gimmi holding a 10th anniv coin same restrictions

[fervent pewter]

yea they did confirm its only for the event

[alpine ether]

and you cant even get gholdengo

https://tenor.com/view/bubsy-meme-explosion-3d-gif-15828100

[woeful pulsar]

idk what i believe of what they said anymore

[fervent pewter]

billion dollar game btw

[woeful pulsar]

small indie company for real

[fervent pewter]

largest ip in history? not sure if pokemon still holds that title

[woeful pulsar]

i still don't understand how they turn spawns off

[fervent pewter]

there are 1k pokemon and we get the same 20 spawns per season lol

[woeful pulsar]

it's gotta be accidental because sometimes it's the most random mon like paras, but how tf does that happen

[fervent pewter]

yea krabby was turned off for like a year or smth

im not a developer but i imagine this game code is absolutely fked

[weary dock]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sleepy-sleepy-head-sleepy-dog-puppy-gif-8724532319784089108

[cloud ferry]

That does make sense. Would be really funny to have the server owner be the living tribunal here XD

[woeful pulsar]

move to unreal engine 5

[plucky sky]

But am I not supposed to take criticism from you as moderation? How do I know if youre telling me to do something because youre just being a normal user or because its a new rule with the threat of moderation. Do you not see the problem with admins telling people to do stuff or criticizing members' actions when they have that power behind them? How do I know what is official moderation actions and what's just your personal beef?

[fervent pewter]

i have never played genshin impact but ive seen how high quality the game is...

pokemon go runs on the same engine lol

[forest saffron]

Why am I not able to purchase some stuff?

[plucky sky]

Seeing pogo players that complained about pricing playing gachas would be funny, ngl

[alpine ether]

idk this just seems antagonistic saying this

[plucky sky]

Did you already do the shiny jirachi research?

[forest saffron]

No

[alpine ether]

both suck ass everyone knows that

[plucky sky]

Then could just be a website bug

[woeful pulsar]

another case of 2 things can be true

[woeful pulsar]

are you full on bag space? though idk if the online boxes track that

[plucky sky]

Sure, but if youre complaining about this pricing and then starting gachas tomorrow, that would be objectively funny, no?

[woeful pulsar]

not really

[forest saffron]

Oh yeah I am but I didn’t know you needed bag space for that

[woeful pulsar]

you don't have to pay to play a game

ik in game the shop bundles won't let you purchase if you're full

i think it wants to give you those 5 silver pinaps and is blocking you from full bag

[plucky sky]

I guess, but why would companies take your complaints seriously if they know you aren't going to act on it either way?

[cloud ferry]

Quick question… is online membership on switch required to connect SV to pogo?

[woeful pulsar]

nope, can do without online

[alpine ether]

no

same way you can get outbreak events without online membership, just connect to wifi

[woeful pulsar]

Why would companies take any complaints seriously? There's always a market. Complaining while expecting a company to change for you is a little naive, and I don't think anyone complaining here is expecting whatever company they're complaining about to read it

you can complain without having some mastermind endgame goal in mind

of overhauling capitalism

[cloud ferry]

Really? I haven’t connect to the Wi-Fi and my outbreaks are still locked to the one from march

That’s why, I see now

[woeful pulsar]

yeah if you want to update your outbreaks once you're done with them, you can go to pokeportal -> there's an option called check latest news or something similar. you can get current outbreaks or 7* raid that way if you ever wanted to do them

[plucky sky]

For someone who was using the word "pointless" a lot, how is complaining a meaningful action? If youre not expecting or demanding change, how is it not just venting?

[woeful pulsar]

it is just venting

?

[plucky sky]

So is that not pointless too?

[woeful pulsar]

correct. what's your point?

[glad rover]

So wait the regular version isn't shiny capable? Just the anniversary one

[woeful pulsar]

yep

[glad rover]

Big oof

[woeful pulsar]

yeah big miss sadge

[plucky sky]

So what was the point in calling out my actions as pointless when they were literally replying to other pointless actions? Why single me out?

Since it was all pointless

[woeful pulsar]

i feel like calling out people minimising others complaints is worth it like i said you can do whatever you want

[plucky sky]

But your main criticism was that it was pointless

Seems a bit weird to call out something for being pointless, when everything in the chat at the time was pointless

[woeful pulsar]

sure it's weird. what's your point?

[plucky sky]

My point was criticism, the same as you

[woeful pulsar]

all this sounds like is that you're mad at being called out for minimising others

[plucky sky]

What's your point?

Im literally doing what you were doing

[woeful pulsar]

sure

[plucky sky]

Something I didnt do, or made it clear I never intended to do

Im criticizing your actions, the same way you criticized mine. There's no deeper meaning here

Anyway

wait guys

they're able to be transferred

thank christ, they're not locked to evs

[woeful pulsar]

https://vxtwitter.com/SpookyEvrt/status/1940072675462037666 wonder if they just enabled

Evrt 𖤐 (@SpookyEvrt)

↪️ Replying to @JoeMerrick

@JoeMerrick Just caught a shiny Gimmighoul without background. Used a coin bag. It’s possible!

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jul 1, 2025, 3:39 PM

yeah looks like more people are reporting that non costume shiny is spawning

[alpine ether]

wtf is joe merrick doing coming to conclusions like that then, as big as he is

christ man

[woeful pulsar]

the conclusion was right at the time though

idk if you've played pogo for long but we've had similar in the past

where they forget to turn on a shiny or a pokemon for an event, people complain and then suddenly everyone is reporting it available now

they probably messed up or saw backlash and responded

[alpine ether]

This whole situation sucks

but at least gimmis finally finally available

[woeful pulsar]

just waiting for more reports but seems that it might be out now

[alpine ether]

that could be it honestly, who knows

anyways imma go stock up on ultras now

[woeful pulsar]

yeah i'm seeing like 5-6 posts about it now looks like hunting time

screws over everyone who used their bag for the day already

[gaunt horizon]

Oh wow an 8th shiny Mankey

I feel like I'm cursed to have half of all my random shinies be Mankey lol

[woeful pulsar]

that was me with swablu a long time ago when swablu first released shiny. i got like 7 of them really quickly for absolutely no reason

[grand canopy]

i can send a postcard to my switch without internet

[woeful pulsar]

i need to remember how to do it again haven't done it since hunting vivillons

[ocean orbit]

I had to look up how to do it lol it’s been so long

It’s not hard tho all you do is open scarlet and go to poke portal then mystery gift and then connect to pogo and on pogo you click connect to switch

[kindred musk]

Do you have to walk to do the gimmighoul thing

[raw halo]

Why can't evolve the old one

[kindred musk]

or does it spawn every 30 seconds regardless like meltan

[alpine ether]

is it the event one

[grand canopy]

you have to walk

[alpine ether]

and yes

you cant evolve some event pokemon, stupidly

[raw halo]

They both are

[kindred musk]

I guess I’ll just do the thing while my mom drives

I don’t feel like walking after work

[grand canopy]

lets hope for shinies

[raw halo]

Same hat

[kindred musk]

I’ll be happy if I get one with a background ngl if I get a shiny that’s good too

I hate this game

[muted ginkgo]

Wish gimmighoul was like meltan, i got 5 spawns cuz i forgot. At least one was the event one lol

[kindred musk]

nice

[grand canopy]

i'll do my gimmi spawns later when its not so heckin hot

pls shiny

[vocal bolt]

Isn’t similar to melton u just get spawn every 1 minutes or something or u need to move

[grand canopy]

you need to move for gimmi

[muted ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-gambling-gif-4822326163116896763

my luck fr

[grand canopy]

[vocal bolt]

[woeful pulsar]

yeah gimmi needs movement sadly

[alpine ether]

I alr did my first coin box, im gonna do my second in a bit + stop by the park next to me and do a lure module

[grand canopy]

i have no stops here so all i can do is walk

[woeful pulsar]

you can only use 1 a day iirc?

unless it ticked over midnight for you

[grand canopy]

oh once per day is so much better than once every 24h

pls be once per day

[woeful pulsar]

don't quote me on that but i think the refresh is tied to daily reset/midnight unlike gimmi

[alpine ether]

I believe that if you have one already in inventory from another time and you claim another coin bag afterwards, you can do it twice in a day

Then it's just a matter of waiting to be able to send postcards again

Also does anyone know when you get more of the lure modules? 5 or 10 days?

[woeful pulsar]

[woeful pulsar]

5 days of sending = 1 lure

[alpine ether]

Do they have to be in a row?

[woeful pulsar]

no i believe it's just 5 separate days

[alpine ether]

Or can you only have 1 at a time

[woeful pulsar]

you can only have 1 at a time

[alpine ether]

Cause i just got coins for doing it for 5 days

yeah LOL

[trail cloak]

You can only have 1 at a time, but if you then send on 4 separate days, on the next day* you can use the lure, send a postcard, and get a second lure

Just keep track of which # you're on

[vocal bolt]

What r the chances?

[woeful pulsar]

most likely either 1/64 or 1/128

[vocal bolt]

Oh nice

Each day one try ?

[woeful pulsar]

each day one box (unless you double up/save a previous day)

each box if you're walking a good amount you're gonna get 30 ish spawns

[vocal bolt]

Nice ez ty

[kindred musk]

Can you extend gimmighouls thing with roar of time

[woeful pulsar]

nope, doesn't affect coin bag or mystery box

[vocal bolt]

Got it ez

[loud gull]

can those backgrounds be found in the wild?

[fringe folio]

if you use the coin bags, very small chance to yes

[loud gull]

awesome, yea I just connected it to my switch 2 and have it ready to open when I get off work and walk around

[vocal bolt]

Yeah

[fringe folio]

I still need to connect it to my switch, I’m still mad about how tedious the procedure is

[vocal bolt]

I catch 5 i got 3 with a background

[loud gull]

it is so overly confusing just to connect 2 games

[fringe folio]

like mate I just want a shiny gimmighoul don’t make me sell my soul to have it TwT

[loud gull]

You know there will be some kind of pokemon go connection for later games too

I am very excited for hisui zorua

[fringe folio]

I mean I definitely will be too, I already have legends arceus but Shiny hunting there is still hit or miss

The shiny is very cool though

I’ll have to make an effort to connect my switch to my go account later though, it’s already 9pm for me so I don’t have a lot of time to collect the coin bag and be eligible for the gold module

[alpine ether]

its annoying to do multiple times for sure

Didn't get one from the second bag im sitting out at the fishing pond near us waiting for the lure module to potentially spawn something

It's been so damn hot out lately, very lucky that it's not bad out, and that there's a nice breeze.

[woeful pulsar]

sadge it's a background one so no HOME transfer

or rather it's a costume one so no HOME transfer

[alpine ether]

I can't believe thats's the only thing keeping it from being transferred. a little 9 on the coin 😭

idk how popular this opinion is but event costumes are the worst

[woeful pulsar]

i think they're popular for people that mainly play GO and don't care about transfer to HOME

[alpine ether]

Even then a few of them are just plain annoying if the devs don't bother to give their evolutions the costume too

[vocal bolt]

Whattttt

I need the shiny coins to KO 7 star raid

[woeful pulsar]

yeah you want one that's not costume. i believe all costume ones have BG, and all non costume ones don't

[vocal bolt]

Ok i need to hunt more then

[fringe folio]

imagine if you could stack insenses on top of each other lmao

that would escalate very quickly

[restive turtle]

I finally remembered to pop freeze shock for it

but I forgot to use a golden razz

[forest saffron]

Is the bday pikachu a wild spawn or is it raids only

[unborn garden]

Raid only aside from this Tuesday spotlight hour

[craggy venture]

Oh yeah

I can't go out unfortunately, so i have to pass on that one

[unborn garden]

Home spawns? Maybe pop an incense

Worth checking some

[quiet kite]

I dont think you have to walk to make the Coin Bag work

I didnt walk a single cm last night using mine and I still got several spawns

[alpine ether]

how many would you say?

I got around 30-40 walking

[quiet kite]

definitely not that many. hmm

[woeful pulsar]

yeah it's 30+ walking. maybe 1 every few mins not walking?

[kindred musk]

Bro remembered something but forgot the other thing

Are these shiny boosted?

[fervent pewter]

1 per 5 min no moving

[woeful pulsar]

damn so same as incense

July 12 huisi lilligant raid day

[restive turtle]

yeah, this appears to be the case.

and they count as special trades because of the background.

i'm gonna lose my fucking mind if my first hundo gimmi on my main ends up being the event one

[alpine ether]

shundo event gimmi would genuinely make me crash out

[unborn garden]

Hahah

Still a cool collection piece

Going to be rare

[fossil basin]

Hey beeyatch have you seen cafe remix ghouldengo?

[alpine ether]

yes they're very cute i don't play cafe remix but i always loved the artstyle

So in game gimmighoul & chest form can appears and gives coins for ghouldengo recruitment

sad i cant recruit roaming and chest gimmi

these wild spawns are so annoying

[unborn garden]

I'm loving the starters, love me some shiny starters

[grand canopy]

did you get any yet?

i just dont like the catch rates

[unborn garden]

I haven't yet, I'm being optimistic, I doubt I'll get any aha

[grand canopy]

i got charmander but would love a squirtle

[unborn garden]

Yeah the catch rates are annoying, been using my surplus regular and gold razzes from go fest

Oooo I saw that lucky

[grand canopy]

event still goes for a few days at least

[unborn garden]

Hope you get one!

[grand canopy]

you as well

[unborn garden]

Yeah 3 more days right? Got like 3 96+ mudkips today at least aha

[grand canopy]

i dont even look at IVs on most wild catches anymore

[unborn garden]

Thank youuuu

Fair aha, I keep all my 96s and 98s

[glad rover]

Kalos platinum

Will be possible once this is out

[fervent pewter]

OH SHIT

[plucky sky]

Shiny Corviknight too

[fervent pewter]

NO WAYYYY

[glad rover]

My main obstacle with the kalos platinum is needing Hawlucha, but my local con I'm going to in August is going to have a Pokémon trading panel so could maybe find someone there

Serebii mentions that Honedge will be in raids but it also will be available in Go Battle League encounters starting at rank 6, appearing more on the premium side of course and then after the event's done it'll be more after rank 16

[fervent pewter]

Ohh I was wondering who else I'm missing, volcanion lol

[glad rover]

Yeah I got the Volcanion research to just need to finish it

I also need Noivern but I'm making slow but good progress on that with the occasional Noibat encounters I get

[fervent pewter]

oh yea that one wont be awful

its in the scales event too 😄

[glad rover]

Yeah looks like it, wondering if when I get enough candy should I evolve my shiny or the one that looks better stat wise. The shiny I found outside of the com day and it was a nice surprise when I went on break that day

[fervent pewter]

its not particularly useful, id just do the shiny

[grand canopy]

2nd coin bag no shiny

[restive turtle]

YEAAAHHHHHHHHH

KALOS PLATINUM HERE I COME

[restive turtle]

if you fly to San Diego and travel south a couple more miles you can get some at imperial beach

that's where I got mine

[glad rover]

California I probably would only fly out to for a con, and I do know a lot furs over there but I'm in Florida so going from here to there would cost a lot

[fervent pewter]

well youre closer to mexico than me xD

[glad niche]

Finally

[muted ginkgo]

Just faced one of the trainers who doesnt let anyone have fun in the go battle league. Lejit couldnt do anything...

not that its important

[glad niche]

Ooh

[sharp finch]

I just wanted the sword really

[alpine ether]

Nothing today. I might try and use my alt account aswell if I can't get anything tomorrow

[grand canopy]

yay hisui lilligant

[fervent pewter]

AEGISLASHHH

[fringe folio]

just checking, does the gimmighouls have the increased shiny odds?

because if they do then catching 32 basically gives a theoretical probability of finding a shiny to 50%

[alpine ether]

it should be around meltan's odds yeah, theoretically

[fringe folio]

I cannot say it enough, but I really do hope I get shiny gimmighoul

[woeful pulsar]

you need almost 45 catches to have a 50% chance of getting 1 or more shinies

if it's 1/64

[fringe folio]

45/64 isn’t 50% though

[woeful pulsar]

correct. but saying doing 32 tries of 1/64 gives you a 50% chance is not how probability works

because with that logic, 64 tries of 1/64 gives you 100% chance

[fervent pewter]

i just had to talk to nintendo support on the phone to recover my switch acct

15 min call and they got me right so shoutout them

[woeful pulsar]

damn nice. i think i've had to do the same to switch which 3DS was my main nintendo account or something similar

[fervent pewter]

yea i messed up my primary account somehow ? no clue how tho

thought i got hacked but the support said it didnt look like any suspicious activity

[fringe folio]

yes because mathematics is at its base theoretical. That’s why in my message I said the theoretical probability is 50%

[fervent pewter]

now i can play the dlc again and get a postcard

[fervent pewter]

LETS GOOO 100%

[fringe folio]

I’ve done a fair bit of shiny hunting to know that yes theory is different than reality

[fervent pewter]

now i have to remember how to send these dang postcard

[woeful pulsar]

i have a pic for this

[fervent pewter]

yoo i wasnt expecting one so detailed ngl 😂

[fringe folio]

welp time to get my coun bag

[fervent pewter]

can other ppl connect to my switch for it?

i know meltan box you could like acct share it

[fringe folio]

Idk probably

yep, limit on postcards a day is on pogo side not switch

[fossil basin]

Yeah

The background ones weren’t affected

[fervent pewter]

hey did anyone hear abt a proper way to power up crown zac? i heard theres smth like if you go to 30-> unlock move, power up, unlock etc

[woeful pulsar]

there's probably an order if you're light on resources, to prioritise for max stat gains
in that case it would be something like:
lv30 -> max move lv2 -> lv40 -> max move lv3 -> lv50
with extra charged move thrown in wherever if you're using it as an alt type raid attacker or pvp. the order is mainly because lv30-40 and lv40-50 are much reduced gains vs getting to lv30 in the first place

[fervent pewter]

ohhh its for ppl who cant do it all

[woeful pulsar]

yeahhh. the order doesn't make a difference otherwise in nearly all cases. only case i can think of a difference is when you want to double move a mon with a baby form, because the baby form double move was significantly cheaper than once you evolved it. idk if that's changed though

[fervent pewter]

nope still a thing, just think riolu is the only viable one xD

[quiet kite]

toxel

[fervent pewter]

toxel is OK, have yet to see a use for toxtricity really

[plucky sky]

Gigantamax Toxtricity is pretty good in max stuff if you want electric. Obviously doesn't help with Toxel though, who will never turn into a max mon

[fossil basin]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/1lqo7jk/lets_say_i_got_scammed/

Party hat fidough would be cute

[fervent pewter]

but that cant be a toxel lol

oh yea you said that xD

max soup 🙏

[plucky sky]

Yeah maybe someday 🙏

[trail cloak]

At rank 200 of the $7.99 Deluxe Pass!

[plucky sky]

We joked about it after the lucky trinket, but they literally did it with the golden bottlecap. Wouldn't be surprised at this point

[modest totem]

Why is lucario candy not called riolu?

[fervent pewter]

i think toxel is the only one that is different

[grand canopy]

some cool events coming up

[fervent pewter]

lfg we got the pink one

[muted ginkgo]

oh cool, another global based pokemon i may or may not be able to get lol

(Also, why not a dondozo release as well?)

[alpine ether]

people who aren't knowledgable of pokemon not knowing what riolu is probably 💔

i always hated that too

[glad rover]

Well it does say that all 3 of them also will be in one star raids so if you got the passes you could get all 3

[muted ginkgo]

oopp

i ct read mb

lol

[glad rover]

Those backpacks look so goofy but also something I could see existing irl

[muted ginkgo]

Still kinda odd dondozo aint also getting released. Unless i also missed reading that.

[glad rover]

Nah it only mentions Tatsugiri so Dondozo might come later, giant fat fish, I could see it being one of those Pokemon they release in 3 star raids that don't evolve like Drampa, Dhelmise and Druddigon

[muted ginkgo]

i could see them with a funny battle effect or smth. Not sure how it might work

[plucky sky]

They've released the small guy and then the evo later many times in pogo iirc. Id expect an eventual dondozo release

[muted ginkgo]

dondozo raid day^ XD

[plucky sky]

[muted ginkgo]

Ngl, would love to have it interact with tatsugiri in some way. Even if it sucks...

[plucky sky]

Yeah, anything other than a normal evo would be cool. Their whole thing is a special interaction. Just make it interesting

[muted ginkgo]

My poor mareep from com day lol

gotta check in every once in a while

[trail cloak]

One berry every 20 days is not much to live on 🐑

[muted ginkgo]

lets just say it takes a long time to send berries one way lol

theres one pichu with a bunch of berries lol

mareep has been defending the gym from nothing

[glad niche]

Oh wow

[fringe folio]

I find it annoying that you can’t get rid of the gimmighoul coins

I wouldn’t have minded if it didn’t take invintoru space but noooo, that’s too complicated

[grand canopy]

another day with no shiny gimmi

[fringe folio]

I’m willing to trade mine if I find a second one, you want one that evolves yeh?

[grand canopy]

oh i just want one in my go account, trading distance is 100m

[woeful pulsar]

they don't take up inventory space

i have stupid amounts

[fervent pewter]

closing in on 600

[alpine ether]

haul from today (on my alt)

I almost wanna make a third account but idk if i can handle 90° weather for an hour and a half +

[fringe folio]

I wish I had 90 degree weather bro

[alpine ether]

no you don't bro its not fun starting to sweat 2 minutes after being outside

[sharp finch]

I mean jangmo-o com day I went out in over 100°F weather

Because I just wanted 3 because I have an goal of completing a majority of the shiny dex

[alpine ether]

Yeah i did aswell

Its worth it but it's masochistic

[fervent pewter]

going to do my coin bag send luck

[fervent pewter]

it was one of the first spawns lol

do you hunt the vivillon in scarlet just at the north of the map like an outbreak or just run around and cycle spawns?

[grand canopy]

i think most people use outbreaks because you cant iso hunt it with encounter power

[glad rover]

Scatterbug can also evolve into the pattern the post card correlates to

It affects all 3 of them in the wild while the post card's active in SV, only doesn't effect eggs which always will hatch fancy pattern

You can't isolate Scatterbug because of Tarountula and bug sandwiches are annoying because of cherry tomatoes but it's honestly a better hunt with less interference then Vivillon itself

[supple scarab]

Which of these should I keep? :/

[wanton urchin]

Personally I’d say the Mankey but I’m not great at iv stuff

[fervent pewter]

neither are particularly good

[grand canopy]

yet another day with no shiny gimmi

[torpid fjord]

Is this a good 4* for pvp if i evolve to kingambit?

But i also have this too

[drowsy quail]

Would depend on what league you want to use it for. Master league would be the only option here and—let me check the lists

[torpid fjord]

If its dookie for master league then i may evolve the shiny one

[drowsy quail]

Kingambit would be a spicier pick. It’s rank 111 for master league at the moment. I’d pick the shiny to evolve first, but that’s just me

[torpid fjord]

Yeah im gonna just evolve the shiny one

[drowsy quail]

Congrats on the shiny as well. Looks great!

[torpid fjord]

My zacian is a better steel type anyways

[drowsy quail]

True

[torpid fjord]

I was lucky to get this one last minute too

Couldnt get into one last raid for the energy but then my chatgpt said there was codes i could redeem and luckily only need 100 energy

[drowsy quail]

Saved yourself an extra pass

[torpid fjord]

Yeah i have 1 remote raid pass left and 2 normal raid passes

I had over 30 normal raid passes because i almost never use them

The 2 recent zacians were back to back shinies from local raids

Was planning on keeping one just normal and one crowned but then i got 2

[forest saffron]

million dollar company here folks

[unborn garden]

Yoooo popplio com day I've been waiting for that one all year

[sharp finch]

I've seen worse

[brazen musk]

Can someone explain to me why the starters have such a stupid catch rate. Sometimes it seems IMPOSSIBLE to catch these guys

I have at least gold catch medals for every type, so with a plus 6 for bulbasaur, the stupid thing insta broke out of an excellent curveball with a great ball💀

[fervent pewter]

it carries over from msg

[trail cloak]

Because you never had to catch (m)any of them

[rustic nova]

Does gimmighoul hate anyone else or is it just me because it just won’t give me a shiny :(

[fossil basin]

Its 1/64 apparently

[fossil basin]

I traded someone a shiny eevee to someone for a party hat eevee and uh. (Its a shiny eevee from community day)

it just went lucky, no trinket or anything

[fringe folio]

W

what advantage do lucky pokemon give

[trail cloak]

Half stardust cost to Power Up

[muted ginkgo]

Golden Background XD

[supple scarab]

Today’s haul

Plus 4 hundos and a 99

[fervent pewter]

id take a shundo eevee

[trail cloak]

It'll have a hat, can't evolve

[loud gull]

so lucky, I already opened the coin bag 3 times and still no shiny

[restive turtle]

my friend got a shiny background zacian at go fest but it didn't have iron head and he has now used 27 charged TMs and still hasn't gotten it at a supposed 1 in 3 chance for each one

[trail cloak]

27

[grand canopy]

another day w/ no shiny gimmi

[grand canopy]

but the game gives you iron head automatically unless your friend wants it in the 2nd slot

or what am i missing

[restive turtle]

they didn't all have iron head from the get-go, I had to use a few TMs on zamazentas

[alpine ether]

got 15 eevees so far (3 were female )
got to get one of my favorite ✨ eevos

[alpine ether]

hoping for a good iv female so i can get espeon too

[grand canopy]

oh no 😭

yeah i thought that would give iron head guaranteed, my bad

[restive turtle]

fuck

[restive turtle]

he finally got it after 30 charged TMs

[rustic nova]

I’m just unlucky ig

[forest saffron]

Does the glitch where you find a shiny pokemon right before the end of a com day and then when it becomes 5:00 the shiny becomes a different pokemon still work

Cause I tried it and the shiny eevee just stayed there and didn’t despawn

[sharp finch]

Check the events page

[fervent pewter]

no it wont work in that instance

[muted ginkgo]

Day 1 of eevee com day classic. Not the best playing but there was a hundo check in the wild i never did find... At least someone got the shundo!

[restive turtle]

my friend was so insistent on leaving to go home half an hour before end of day one and dragged me with him, a hundo spawned five minutes after we left

[signal steppe]

How's everyone's com days going ? 🙂

[fervent pewter]

i actually got the popup this time

[glad niche]

No shinies yesterday
2 today with 1 from the research but I don't care for it as I did the original

[signal steppe]

That's fair ! I'm the same. Still have tons in game lol do love still collecting tho lol also got 0 yesterday but on 12 so far

[green monolith]

Some of the stupid things I did on Eevee community day.

[supple scarab]

Noice. Do I want a giant shiny Umbreon or Sylveon?

[cloud ferry]

BRUHHHHHH

At least it’s as rare as a lucky hundo

[trail cloak]

And just as useful!

[grand canopy]

tomorrows my last chance for shiny gimmi

[signal steppe]

Good luck ! Fingers crossed it drops. Got lucky with mines today. Was starting to worry lol

[supple scarab]

When transferring to SV, do you get shiny entry for roaming form if you have shiny chest form already?

I transferred my XXS Ghimmi for the badge and it gave me the shiny entry too

[craggy venture]

Wait

It was a two day thing?

[glad niche]

Oh my i just realised I didn't do the anniversary research

[supple scarab]

The research ended today I believe

But the actual event was extended 24hrs

[grand canopy]

only the shiny gimmi was extended, the event ended

wouldve loved some more chances for shiny costume kanto starters

[plucky sky]

Finally got my first shiny ghimmi today, but its a 9th Anni coin background version

[plucky sky]

Omg an hsr player who also plays pogo, based

[grand canopy]

i'll take a costume shiny over no shiny

last chance tomorrow

[plucky sky]

Yeah fair. Let's both get a shiny tomorrow

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

300

[signal steppe]

Turns out the gimmighoul I got today wasnt the event one 😂 assumed it was. Thought I'd look after I see a post here

[craggy venture]

Do you also play hsr?

[plucky sky]

[craggy venture]

I don't mind tbh

I just wanna get the eeveelution and nothing else

[craggy venture]

I have never expected an hsr player in this server

Remember you only have until 8pm local time tomorrow to get shiny Gimmighoul Roaming Form, the only way to get it, and we don’t know when it will come back.

I managed 6 so far, half with the background and half without.

X · Jul 6, 2025, 3:16 PM

Good luck!

[forest saffron]

What are the shiny gimmi odds

[fossil basin]

I heard its 1/64

[plucky sky]

Same lol

[craggy venture]

[fossil basin]

Welp 3 shine gimmighouls

better than nothing

[loud gull]

Haven't found 1 yet but I still have a couple more tries.

[grand canopy]

no shiny gimmi today

guess i'll have to wait a year

[fervent pewter]

lol thats gross

[quiet kite]

this poor girl was tragically born without a rear end

[alpine ether]

LMAO

[glad niche]

Bruh

[plucky sky]

Thats stupid, but I guess better than nothing? I honestly thought they'd just give us nothing when it expired. The real problem is it having a short time limit to use it in the first place

Same thing with the lucky trinket. Making such valuable items have a short expiration date, or an expiration date at all is just dumb

Especially when most people spent the entire month specifically grinding for this 1 item

And then you have to use it right away or lose it

50k stardust might as well have been 0, the problem remains the expiration

[craggy venture]

That is nothing 😔

[alpine ether]

that's not even enough to give a lot of pokemon a second move, its insane 😭

[craggy venture]

If it's much more, then I'm all for it

[grand canopy]

i need this shiny

[muted ginkgo]

I just need a g-max pokemon, period lol

[drowsy quail]

Thank goodness we can remote raid max battles now

Still will try to find an in person meet up, but this is just nice all around. Need the candy.

[rustic nova]

Does anyone know if shiny gimmighoul is still possible to get

I ended up getting 2 shinies on my last coin bag of the event but both of them had the background and aren’t able to evolve lol

[fervent pewter]

until 8pm local time

[rustic nova]

🫡

[alpine ether]

how many i ended up with through the whole event (minus 5 that were transferred out)

this was fun but im so tired

[grand canopy]

[rustic nova]

Was there a way to do multiple per day or did u just get crazy lucky

[alpine ether]

you can use multiple accounts to connect to one switch and get the coin box

i just used my gym kicker as well as my main

[rustic nova]

Ahh right makes sense

I stopped using multiple accounts when my old phone broke lol

[fervent pewter]

dumb requirement to begin with

[drowsy quail]

I can finally evolve my H. Qwilfish I’ve been meaning to take care of for a year and a half

[glad rover]

I already got Overqwil and unless I had a shiny H-Qwilfish I probabaly wouldn't need to take advantage of this benefit

[fossil basin]

Welp i have a xxl pumpkaboo as my buddy

I hope the xxl trick works

For hisui zorua

[glad rover]

if it does still work like that, that'll be interesting to see

I need to spend a bit to expand my storage before the event starts though

[fossil basin]

Oh.. it does

@glad rover ^

[glad rover]

nice

[fossil basin]

Im using my shiny Halloween one so it’s easier to tell lol

[glad rover]

honestly if they never fixed this, it might just be a regular mechanic at this point

[alpine ether]

xxl trick?

[glad rover]

you assign a XXL pumpkaboo or Goregeist as your buddy and all Zorua you encounter will be XXL

how I got an XXL shiny during the last event

speaking of that is H-Zorua releasing with the shiny or just the regular form only?

[fervent pewter]

L spawns during 4x dust sadge

[glad rover]

in PLA Pokémon who spawn in space time distortions that are considered special spawns are those specific Pokémon, only missing Porygon, J-Sneasel and Scizor

[fossil basin]

Just regular. Shiny has not debuted yet

It a beeg boi

STD hour just spawned a scizor for me

[fervent pewter]

pog!!

one thing ill actually grind too is the hisui basculin

also missing shiny petilil so ill take 2x of those 😅

[unborn garden]

It's fun seeing shiny gzapdos everywhere

Sucks zero good ivs tho

[loud gull]

I never knew that, will make sure to do that then

[grand canopy]

pls gib lots of solgaleo raids at my gym

[quiet kite]

caught this Zorua using the XXL buddy trick

when it appeared it as Pumpkaboo, it first showed as Tiny instead of Huge though. is this some kind of overflow error on the size factor?

[woeful pulsar]

we can't evolve it yet right?

i think i managed to nab a lv1 i've been waiting to evolve

[fervent pewter]

nah but im missing its shiny and i imagine this is the easiest way we'll get for a bit

[woeful pulsar]

ooo gl gl. i think i got the shiny through an oversight

i think at the end of last years (gofest or GO tour), i started a route near the end of the event and stayed on the route without completing it. and walking back and forth on that route carried on spawning hisuian basculin even after the event ended got both shiny and lv1 after like 30 mins of that

[grand canopy]

[fossil basin]

We are still unsure

I hope scopley doesnt get rid of it

[trail cloak]

It's tiny for a Pumpkaboo

[forest saffron]

nO wAy!!1!1!111

[cloud ferry]

Does the ‘twilight zone’ affect evolutions at all?

Like evolving to the hisuian variant

[fervent pewter]

nah

just spawns for an hour

[modest totem]

Woah just got so many ‘garchomps’…

[restive turtle]

my friend has been insistent on the fact you can use a charged TM on a fused Kyurem to get the adventure effect on it because his fused Kyurem didn't have glaciate, and to test it he took my phone, used a TM on my dual background white Kyurem then tried to use an elite TM to put ice burn back on it and almost gave it fusion flare instead because he thought it was ice burn

I told him this wouldn't work four times

now I'm stuck with this fucking thing

[fervent pewter]

i dont follow

its bc you didnt have the legacy move on the OG kyurem ahh

unlucky..

did a lucky trade w a friend for shiny kyurem, i gave him one with the move and he didnt 😂

[quiet kite]

bad friend

I can't solo Shadow Lapras, do I need to gët güd or is this normal?

[fervent pewter]

normal

will help you if you dont want to waste a pass

[modest totem]

Haven’t gotten a shiny since June 10th

[trail cloak]

He did have it, and his friend removed it with a TM to prove it to him

[restive turtle]

yeah and i'd un-fuse it to get it back since i have elite TMs but i don't have any more energy :(

[trail cloak]

Mega Lucario should be good enough, though better into Ice/Skull Bash than Water moves of course

[quiet kite]

do you have experience or hard data with this or did you ping me with a guess?

[trail cloak]

I did my research and saw two YouTube shorts with Mega Lucario beating it

One wasn't even over level 40

[quiet kite]
