The other is just Lucario powering through. Make sure to dodge the Blizzard/charged moves

Lapras's fast moves tickle, thankfully

[quiet kite]

I assumed Terrakion would be enough to power through so I didnt bother reviving Lucario

I didnt know the power gulf was so wide between them

[torpid fjord]

Can i punch whoever made these challenges

Its gonna take at the minimum 45 days from when i started and also no team rocket will spawn either at stops or balloons

[unborn garden]

I mean they are tough but you have a year ti complete it

[cloud ferry]

Imagine paying $$ to have the privilege to do this.

[torpid fjord]

I had a discount from the webstore

I wouldnt pay 20 for that

[trail cloak]

I've spent money on dumber stuff

No regrets

[torpid fjord]

No regerts

Ima tattoo that on my neck

Also ive once spent 20 on a subway sandwhich so its not all that different

It was from a delivery app too

Atleast my necrozma will be my first shundo

Is this a good combo for master league

[quiet kite]

lol ikr

[lucid frigate]

the pokemon are good but you need to power them up to max since there's no level cap in master league

[quiet kite]

im not a PvP pro but I suspect youll struggle with this team. just putting the 3 top legends together isnt usually a recipe for success, in any game or any format

[woeful pulsar]

why aren't you getting team rocket balloons?

[unborn garden]

balloons will always spawn after each 6h 12am 6am 12pm and 6pm

[glad niche]

That's why they made it a year to complete

[alpine ether]

quaxly community day is close!

they finally set a date for it lol

[trail cloak]

They announced this season's dates on May 8th

https://pokemongo.com/post/cd-savethedate-s19?hl=en

[grand canopy]

i love the current event

[trail cloak]

It's pretty good. Held back by the usual starter catch rate

[woeful pulsar]

event every weekend yippeeee

[grand canopy]

eternatus info

[fervent pewter]

AND form change aegislash

gonna be interesting

[trail cloak]

This weekend we sleep

[restive turtle]

does anyone know for sure what gimmighoul's shiny odds are?

[woeful pulsar]

1/64 during the event

[plucky sky]

Can it even still be shiny? The event is over

If not, the odds are 0

[signal steppe]

I don't believe so. Same as meltan. Will be events only

[restive turtle]

my friend got three shiny gimmighouls the day after the event ended though?

[alpine ether]

what day and what timezone are they in?

and was it the 7th, because the event got extended for a day

[restive turtle]

oh that explains it then

seven coin bags and only one shiny :(

[fossil basin]

Only non background gimmi was shiny unlocked for an extra day

well its over now

[forest saffron]

Is it supposed to be like this where if you mega evolve to one version, the other is cheaper

[fossil basin]

Wait

[fossil basin]

AH yes

[torpid fjord]

The more you mega evolve it, its mega level will increase and cost less mega energy like my mega lucario pretty much costs nothing now maxed

For charizard both megas are gonna cost the same amount because of the mega level

Mine cost 36 rn and will start going down to 0 in 7 days

[unborn garden]

Oh yeah one spawned without a disguise for some reason

[glad niche]

Did you have zorua as your buddy?

[unborn garden]

I have my g.zapdos since Im bottlecapping it

I just saw it on the map and was a bit confused

It didnt do the transformation animation either

[fringe folio]

I want a shiny hisuian zorua so badly

[unborn garden]

Give it a year or so and its shiny hopefully will be released

[fringe folio]

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[sharp finch]

I mean mine was ruined when I saw the shiny rufflet I had been holding onto for years evolved into a regular braviary with this event

Shiny hisuian is amazing

Shiny base is ugly

The silhouettes of the pokemon look the same

So holding onto a rufflet for 2 years for it to not matter sucks

[unborn garden]

Doubt it'll ever be able to evolve into regional forms, they want you to raid for it so they get more money

[fringe folio]

I already have mine from legends arceus, I understand your frustration though

[fervent pewter]

it had a raid day but i understand where you coming from

[sharp finch]

I only do raids if I want the legendary shiny and don't want to do its main series hunt because it's painful

So some of the box legends

[warped garnet]

I only shiny hunt during the SV hordes

[fervent pewter]

you get a free pass tho

[woeful pulsar]

i've been holding onto my potential regional evos since they've done events before where you can evolve for the regional form

[fervent pewter]

yea its def not irregular

gweezing was a really hype one

[woeful pulsar]

ik they've done alolan marowak, alolan exeggutor, galarian weezing so far. can't remember if any others

[cloud ferry]

Shiny from dynamax raid!

[grand canopy]

my game crashes whenever i try to claim the encounter and i cant create a new party because i still have my old reward

[fervent pewter]

do you have an update

might have to rip a support ticket if not

idk what to do i cant keep up with balls at all anymore

i play in most dense urban area too lol, pretty much just have to catch less..

[grand canopy]

nope

also tried on another phone but crashes there as well

[fervent pewter]

yea not uncommon sadly

think support will have to fix for you

[grand canopy]

its just a diglett encounter 😭 game cant handle that

[fervent pewter]

this event has grown on me

good spawns for most people, crazy bonuses

[grand canopy]

oh yeah its great

i need the xp

[fervent pewter]

omg i do not miss those tasks

[signal steppe]

I've totally gave up on catching and really only shiny check. I should realistically start especially with this event but effort Lol

[grand canopy]

this event has me using lucky eggs + opening the meltan box 😭

the tasks will finish itself, the xp is the problem

[fervent pewter]

yea this is one of those rare 4x xp events

grind out the 70m remaining 😄

[grand canopy]

im happy if i can end the current event at 5m

[signal steppe]

When does it end ? The event ? Might pop out

[grand canopy]

i think 13th

[fervent pewter]

yea stilla. few days left

[signal steppe]

Ahhh.

[grand canopy]

man i hate these gbirds

[fervent pewter]

had a big bird today

[grand canopy]

i saw moltres and zapdos today, havent seen any for a while and 2 today, both non shiny and both ran away

the usual

[fervent pewter]

yep i was just happy to see one its been a while !

have the shiny been released any other game?

[grand canopy]

they were event-only in swsh for a short time, otherwise just pogo

i believe the event back then had you play a few online comp matches

[grand canopy]

its annoying how whenever i see one its cp is 2k+

the only one i saw thats low cp is my xxl moltres that i masterballed

219cp my beloved

[woeful pulsar]

i have my master ball ready for if i see a lv1 not getting used other than that

[fervent pewter]

ohh so their shinies have been released before

i thought they were like ultra rare still

[grand canopy]

i need that

[grand canopy]

i mean the pogo ones are the only ones with own OT (and go-stamp ofc), the event ones have special OTs

so still pretty rare

[woeful pulsar]

yeah they're pretty rare because a lot of people just didn't bother trying to get them/couldn't figure out how and they were one per game per console so alts to get them meant you had to either get the other game, or another switch

[woeful pulsar]

i think they should end up being our best dragon and psychic max attackers for now right?: maybe dmax hatterene is comparable for psychic till gmax comes out. but idt we've had a dragon dps yet

[grand canopy]

latios is a lil bit better than metagross as a psychic attacker i think and dragon is like
charizard

[plucky sky]

We dont have a single max mon with dragon in it at all yet

So yeah

[grand canopy]

zard with dragon breath but like

[plucky sky]

Yeah, the -ios will for sure outclass that. Thats like a makeshift temporary thing

[grand canopy]

first dmax legends we can remote as well so i'll grab one or two

and i'll grab a shiny gmax lapras from a friend so i can save remotes on that

[plucky sky]

We could still definitely get better dragons at least though. Don't we have mons like garchomp theoretically coming? But yeah, definitely bis for now

[woeful pulsar]

i'll probs just one and done each of them. idt i'll raise either because the difference with metagross seems minimal and i'll probs just use exca for eternatus

[grand canopy]

yeah and after eternatus that'll be the main dragon attacker

[woeful pulsar]

right

[plucky sky]

Im still super curious how they'll do eternatus

We need more details about implementation

[woeful pulsar]

i'm curious what they'll make the adventure effect for it. i doubt they'd just straight power creep both zac+zam effects by making it both at once

but it's probably gonna be max battle related either way

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

yeah, no idea what they'll do with it

we have so many adventure effects already

i'd love one with double XL candy drops

[fervent pewter]

just realized we coulda had a 10/10 event if we just got like shiny zorua or solgaleo

or evo to hisui

im at like an 8/10 now

[grand canopy]

solgaleo is probably shinylocked till alola tour in 2 years (if we get that) but zorua wouldve been great

im just happy we can get more candy and/or more fusions now

[woeful pulsar]

@fervent pewter moving the convo here because curious about a couple of things there's a ban-list for pogo pvp right? doesn't that mean at some point they could ban something you invested in? or are the ban lists like, almost as soon as a pokemon is released it's put on the list so you know in advance not to invest

[fervent pewter]

no ban list, only mon actually banned afaik is ditto? but i could be off lol

there are rotating restricted metas, but no out right ban list

besides like megas and stuff not eligible

[woeful pulsar]

i think when i looked it up i saw maybe 10 mons, including ditto, shedinja and then some weird niche mons with specific moves

[fervent pewter]

oh yea that too

just things that are unobtainable

the best cases for his argument are yes stuff gets nerfed and things change, lickitung which is a lvl50 legacy mon got nerfed and completely fallen out of favor

registeel probably the other big nerf

[woeful pulsar]

i remember the amount of people trading to get those registeel IVs

[fervent pewter]

the relic

[cold saffron]

Body Slam and Counter nerf
Still think it was a mistake

[fervent pewter]

oh yea counter i forgot too, lowkey that was long overdue 😂

it was best move in the game for like 4 years lol, still hurts tho

[cold saffron]

It was strong, but never broken imo.
I loved using fighting types but now all we have is Primeape, Annihilape and the desperate few that hold on to Medicham

[fervent pewter]

medi is another xl mon thats nerfed yea, carbink a good example too like things def fall out of favor - but like pvp is kinda fringe anyway, i wouldnt have a bottlecap use outside of pvp but i absolutely get why ppl would shrug it off 😂

[fervent pewter]

sadly i think things like vigoroth and addition of ape yea pushed things too far

vigoroth plagued limited cups for so long 😂

[cold saffron]

Vigoroth hurts a bit, powered one up a few weeks before the nerf

[fervent pewter]

it had a good life 😂

come to think of it, most of these XL mons dont have good longevity

or i just pick too much troll stuff lol

[cold saffron]

Rufflet and Lileep are very interesting picks, don't think I ever saw one of those

and please tell me you never ran Wobbuffet and Chansey on the same team

[fervent pewter]

lol never on the same team, i think chansey was from a kanto cup and wobb was just generally good

[glad rover]

For mega Heracross I'm thinking of changing its charged attack from Megahorn to a fighting type attack, does it have anything better?

Just did a Hisuian Avalugg raid and crowned Zacian and Zamazenta broke it down fast, helps that it does have a 4x weakness to steel type attacks

[trail cloak]

Neither of Heracross's Fighting moves are great. Lucario is currently vastly superior.

And unfortunately Bug is almost never needed, leaving M-Heracross in an awkward place

[blazing thistle]

Could finish this with the 4x catch exp going on, but it feels like boiling alive going out

yooo whattt maybe i can grind my hundo spinda 🙏

[grand canopy]

chatot

oh just saw that the event only runs 3h every day

[fervent pewter]

yep ! kinda fun

its like a summer concert series 😄

i need chatot shiny too, and i can transfer all these randos ive been saving!

[trail cloak]

[grand canopy]

imean i wouldnt play the entire day anyway considering its just focused on lures and the spinda tasks so its nice

im going for shiny chatot

or kricketot, thats a cool one

[fervent pewter]

i kinda like the gated events like this, like my locals will probably get together now

if it was all day we never arrange a time 😂

[grand canopy]

yeah thats also true

[fervent pewter]

gotta stock up golden lures

[grand canopy]

i play solo anyway so

[fervent pewter]

yea same 😐

not sure why i care abt my locals

[grand canopy]

i do have my moms account for raid duos but thats like

me playing on a second phone with momaccount

the only mom thing about that account is the phone 😭

[fervent pewter]

i duo acct for a while during covid for like a few months, its more hassle than benefit to me

trades are insanely op tho, the one thing i miss

[grand canopy]

the account already has anything it needs so i dont need to farm or anything

i only ever did/do legendary trades for XLs, probably shouldve kept my spare drilbur/skorupi tho

another gbird today, low cp as well but at least i got a shiny birb

[fervent pewter]

luckies is the op part i refer to 👀

100 trades a day you bound to roll like 5~

you also get catches to your stats from it which i always thought was weird

[grand canopy]

ah yeah thats true, i havent done mass trades in a long time

that hydreigon was my first lvl50 i believe

[fervent pewter]

yea some bangers, when you get like a beldum event its so satisfying to do a bunch of swaps lol

[grand canopy]

i slept through every beldum event

missed the com day classic with nap

[fervent pewter]

classic move

[grand canopy]

what annoys me the most about the mom account is that the good stuff is always on there

like the kubfu has 720cp

thats either 15/14/13 or 14/14/15 i believe

mine is like 12/11/13 😭

[alpine ether]

its the alt curse

gets em every single time

[grand canopy]

LETS GOOOO

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

i hate organizing my mons in go, no idea what tags to make

[trail cloak]

It's a never ending chore

[fervent pewter]

not to mention all the other random shit i have saved

[modest totem]

Just got a remote raid pass from field research praise the lord 🤧🤧

[modest totem]

I genuinely hate this game so fucking much bro

My only remote too

[fossil basin]

Slam the competition

[unborn garden]

I've got a friend who has a 13000kg zoruark

It's crazy

[grand canopy]

trumbeak 😭

[restive turtle]

i think you misspelled eclipse

[fossil basin]

Thanks ill go check

[glad rover]

Still a long while off but just need 29 candies left and I can evolve Larvesta. Months of walking with it as my buddy and I can finally change it to something else

I'd still need Keldeo to become free though so I could get the platinum medal

[grand canopy]

where raid

[woeful pulsar]

i saw people in NZ complaining that there was so few lilligant raids during their raid day

[glad rover]

I'm working through the raid day so I just used a remote pass to get one

[grand canopy]

raid is here

beautiful shiny tbh

[unborn garden]

They messed up the refresh timing at the beginning, it was everg 45 mins or so

[quiet kite]

im so eager for Keldeo

[glad niche]

Classic

[grand canopy]

i'll take a nap through the event anyway, just wanted to catch a raid or 2 before i

[coral bolt]

hey guys, I’ve been trying to link my go account to Pokemon Home but every time I click on “Sign in with nintendo” a loading icon appears for a couple seconds and then a pink bubble saying “Error”. It doesn’t even let me put account details. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, refreshing game data, changing login methods in Go, i've changed passwords, i've tried on different devices but nothing works. I’ve contacted Niantic support and they told me that I need to talk to Pokemon Company’s International Support Team, but I doubt very much they’ll be able to do anything since this is obviously an issue on Go’s side. Does anyone know what I can do? thank you so much in advance 🙏

[fervent pewter]

likely just have to go through support sadly

[coral bolt]

sob

[fervent pewter]

they will link it for you prolly

[coral bolt]

i finally got shiny jirachi and just can't transfer it for no apparent reason 💔

[fervent pewter]

i just dealt w a similar thing support was pretty quick

[coral bolt]

hopefully the pokemon company doesn't just say "we're sorry you can't link it you have to contact niantic support"

so they'd each be forwarding me to the other

😭

[coral bolt]

was it niantic support? or pokemon company

[signal steppe]

Forgot about lilligant day. Ready tho. If my battery lasts. The heat in Scotland is vile

[fervent pewter]

i just dealt with nintendo support but for a similar account linking problem

[coral bolt]

ok, thanks :)

[cloud ferry]

Reasons why I love this game

[modest totem]

Does anyone know if mega Tyranitar or just normal Tyranitar are in raid rotation soon?

[trail cloak]

None announced for July

Larvitar is not uncommon at the moment though, if you need candy

[modest totem]

Yeah. Just realized my first pupitar and larvitar I got a while back in 2020 were hundos. It’s my fav pokemon so really hurts 😂😂

[elfin mirage]

Any events going on today?

[sharp finch]

Took me forever to get the shiny of my favorite pokemon

[grand canopy]

theres the hisuian lilligant raid day from 2pm-5pm and the hisui celebration (?) that goes till the 13th

[elfin mirage]

Awesome, thank you! I'm 600k away from level 40 x.x been playing go since the day before it officially came out, but kept stopping and going

[crisp relic]

stitches13 has given 1 Gen Rep to .alyz.

[grand canopy]

the current event (hisui celebration?) has 4x catch XP so maybe you can get to lvl40 fast

[crisp relic]

.alyz. has given 1 Gen Rep to stitches13

[grand canopy]

i dont know the exact event name, thats why ?

[elfin mirage]

Fingers crossed

[grand canopy]

[glad niche]

That's the right name

[fervent pewter]

i dont know what to do

i just cant keep up with catching + spinning, and playing just spinning is such a drag

[grand canopy]

😭

[fervent pewter]

down horrendous. gonna grind tomorrow hard for last day of event but my first like hour is just gonna be spinning i guess 🤔

[grand canopy]

dont forget gifts for at least a few balls

[fervent pewter]

oh yea thatll save me to catch at home rest of the day

[trail cloak]

Same problem here! The first event in a long time I'm actually grinding to 0 balls

First world problem: found Gotcha today but spent all my red balls so struggled to get thicc Zorua

Managed to get this boi

[glad niche]

Wow

[modest totem]

How about we don’t friend this person

[alpine ether]

?

did you send your fc somewhere or did they just show up 😭

[modest totem]

i think they friended me after a raid

my jaw dropped when i saw the name 😭😭

[wheat marten]

man... having to do pvp for 43

[fervent pewter]

you can do it with friends so no pressure

can just farm them

[wheat marten]

oh it counts if you do it with friends

[fervent pewter]

[trail cloak]

Stacking Staryu and Shelly researches for the next Ultra Unlock

[fervent pewter]

no way we get another week of 4x dust???

[grand canopy]

i think the honedge event

because its ultra unlock

[fervent pewter]

they nerfed our boy

yea 5 days of 4x xp and dust july 22-27

unreal

AND NO STARTERS LFGGG

[grand canopy]

spawns looking good yeah

especially that shiny bird

maybe i can finally get that dragon platinum medal with that event

[fervent pewter]

dont we have rookidee cd like 2 week after that tho

kinda hate when they do that

[grand canopy]

oh true

right there was that vote

[fervent pewter]

yea they double dipping us 😂

my guess is they had shiny rookidee release already planned

and then the cd poll just happen to hit same thing

[grand canopy]

i mean i'll still take it

cant have enough cute birds

[fervent pewter]

my math is not good, with 4x dust and a star piece would each shellder be 7000 dust?

idek how much star piece effect is after all these years

7500 dust maybe i cant tell fuuuu

[grand canopy]

i think its 6k

1k dust regular, 4k with boost and star piece is 1.5 i think

[fervent pewter]

noted

i dont have gmax lappy so hype to get it

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

i'll save my remotes for latias and take a shiny gmax lapras from a friend

[restive turtle]

just remoted a Charizard only for it to run when I still had one ball left

[fervent pewter]

my remaining white whales

[sharp finch]

I have 2 of the 4

[fervent pewter]

oh yea post what youre missing

jk, it pains me when i see people with like 8 shiny paras

[signal steppe]

Also have so many shinys and genuinely can't understand how I still don't have a paras either 😂

[trail cloak]

The one I really want but has been avoiding me is Frillish, but I'm "only" at ~1000 seen since shiny release

[restive turtle]

it is very cute

[uneven verge]

Good morning everyone

[fossil basin]

i evovled a dmax wailmer for my dex. Wailord was my last mon for my hoenn dex

[quiet kite]

I still dont have Relicanth

[fringe folio]

yo that’s a dream come true

[fervent pewter]

fr and its 4x dust and xp

[trail cloak]

EXP?
Dust?

[gilded parcel]

So random question, would it be wise to transfer the mythicals from GO to the Switch? I am trying to get the original form Magearna in HOME, which requires all Pokémon in the Dex up to Eternatus, and the mythicals don’t seem viable either in GO. But there are might be people willing to do a touch trade for their mythicals in HOME on this server (especially since I don’t have all of them), so I don’t know what to do

[fervent pewter]

i'm weirdly on the grind for 50x 2

never cared abt xp just the next milestone for me lol

[woeful pulsar]

it will be hard to find someone that will trust you enough to touch trade you mythicals. but also, once you move something out of GO it's a permanent move so you need to make sure you never want it there in the future (which if you don't particularly care about GO specifically, you probably don't need it there)

[trail cloak]

If you don't PvP, only Diancie is useful (as Rock Mega), the rest is just there to sit in storage and look pretty

[woeful pulsar]

nope

^^was towards a scam message, not you zuoken

[trail cloak]

#pogo_raids those?

[woeful pulsar]

yep

[fervent pewter]

funny enough ofc this is the only good mythical ive gotten

[woeful pulsar]

one of my few pogo flexes isn't even that i've got good IV mythicals. it's that i have 2 normal celebi and 2 normal mew on the same account that are like exact clones

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

shiny soon

[grand canopy]

i dont wanna complain considering thats like my 4th gbird in the last 7 days but

give me the shiny

[sharp finch]

My brother in christ all I want is just an articuno

I do mine daily, sometimes extend them hours

I have only found 2 this year from doing them every day

[grand canopy]

i had a dry streak for about 6 weeks or so at the beginning of the year, it can be brutal

[sharp finch]

E v e r y d a y

[craggy venture]

I have only encountered one bird

It wasn't shiny unfortunately, but it was cool while it lasted

[sharp finch]

I have encountered articuno multiple times on one incense

I never got it

But I find the other birds more than articuno

[grand canopy]

usually i only find zapdos

[sharp finch]

It only appears when I'm out of golden razz, ultras or master balls

[grand canopy]

which is by far my least favorite

[craggy venture]

I think the birds don't like me 😆

[sharp finch]

Otherwise it's only Moltres and zapdos

[grand canopy]

i give luck

[sharp finch]

Give me luck

All I want is a single articuno

[craggy venture]

👍

[sharp finch]

I never wanted the other two

Just my favorite

[grand canopy]

i think i caught my first gbird (zapdos) shortly after its release

[sharp finch]

and yet I caught 2 moltres and zapdos

[grand canopy]

and then got nothing for 2 years

[sharp finch]

And haven't seen articuno since the year of release

[grand canopy]

i did catch my xxl moltres in a masterball tho, that was great

[craggy venture]

Out of the three, Articuno is my favorite both normal and shiny

[grand canopy]

was in a car as well so was pretty nervous if it would stay

[sharp finch]

Same

Mine is the yellow one

I dont like how its random either way

Between ducklett, shelder

[fervent pewter]

wdym?

ohh in 1* raids?

@trail cloak

bless up !

quick 500k dust to stack

[fossil basin]

Yep

[fervent pewter]

meh its a one and done anyway

rather see shellder in raids 😂

[fossil basin]

Haha

the cries are broken

[fervent pewter]

playing with sound on is crazy

do you battle with sound big Z?

[trail cloak]

Heck yes

It's very useful to discern between fast moves quickly, and it helps me with counting moves

It's only a small competitive edge but why not use the tools you're given?

[alpine ether]

ah yes all of the sobble evolution line

[trail cloak]

Fun tie-in on PvP sounds: for some moves Niantic just straight up copied the sound effects of other moves

Leafage just uses Vine Whip's sound
Sunsteel Strike and Metal Sound are the same (unsure which is the original [edit: it's MS]

There are one or two more I can't think of atm

Leafage in particular I know has been in the game for a few years now and they just don't care to update it

[fossil basin]

Im dead

[fossil basin]

Yes

[glad niche]

Why are they region specific i didn't know that

[grand canopy]

so its the seasonal background

was hoping for water themed stuff but whatever

[unborn garden]

Where can you get the background lapras?

Ahh raids nvm

[grand canopy]

yep

im expecting a glitch where the gmax lapras can also get the background btw

[unborn garden]

Honestly should just make it a feature aha

[grand canopy]

i'd love backgrounds more if they were guaranteed for certain events like wild area, gofest etc or at least like 1/2

[unborn garden]

Yeah at the rate they do show up it’s kinda trash

[fringe folio]

you increased odds for shiny magikarp??

yo shiny gyarados from a raid would be sick

[grand canopy]

oh i didnt know magikarp is boosted

i thought just the turtle

[unborn garden]

its staryu and tirtouga rn

magikarp was a couple months ago

[grand canopy]

lets gooo staryu

[vocal bolt]

I think they r 1/64 in the spotlight hour

[signal steppe]

Yeah it I remember correctly I think feebas has a higher shiny chance in general. Have a few already but it's never enough lol I need more lol

[fervent pewter]

feebas always boosted ye

[signal steppe]

Off the plus. Can't complain

[polar plank]

Anyone else's game just not opening this morning?

[signal steppe]

Been working most of the day for me as far as I can tell anyway. I've had mines open most of the day tho so could be different if I close it

[polar plank]

Turns out I had to restart my phone and now it's working

[signal steppe]

Ah fair haha

[vocal bolt]

I thought spotlight hour is always 1/512

[woeful pulsar]

spotlight hour is usually whatever the wild species rate is, which most of the time is 1/512

[signal steppe]

Will be pacing and shiny checking only lol. Hopefully get a few so I can throw them into games. I say that. I think I have 6 already in pogo

[fervent pewter]

nope

[grand canopy]

pls shiny gbird today

[signal steppe]

2 already. Good start lol

[glad rover]

I'm most times working during a spotlight hour so never can really do them

[glad niche]

NOPERS

[grand canopy]

no bird but got a star

[sharp finch]

Name it Mario 64 now

[grand canopy]

wild spawn baby tink!!

theres also wild skiddo around

spawn pool update and no bug pls

[fervent pewter]

i just saw this wild lol thought it was weird

[trail cloak]

Hope no one used their cap on Tinkaton

[grand canopy]

removing friends in this game SUCKS damn

[sharp finch]

Can't have a galar articuno spawn on me, but I can get 2 shiny pokemon to spawn on me at work

Can get a full odds and boosted shiny

[grand canopy]

oh tauros is nice nice

[glad niche]

Wow

[trail cloak]

Pumpkaboo (all sizes), Yanmask (Galarian and normal) and Stantler have all been spotted.

- They all released at the same time. 9PM. Worldwide. Events usually rollout around the world by timezone.
- Lots of spawns changed, much like a season event.

My best guess? Mistake Made.

I've seen some pumpkaboos

[quiet kite]

I havent seen this at all

but there are a lot of Feebas still around

[fossil basin]

https://twitter.com/poryproweb/status/1945288289696485598

PoryPro (@poryproweb)

Confirmed its a bug. Ninjask should not be able to spawn in the wild.

I believe you should only be able to (and only ever have) been able to get Ninjask from evolving Nincada.

At this point I wonder what can't spawn in the wild! 😅

Wat

[onyx surge]

Spotlight hour sucked for me

Only 1 shiny feebas

Fish is painful to evolve anyways

Hoping to get more routes done during lunch break tomorrow. Gotta get those zygarde cells more then ever now since I used my gold cap on zygrade 😅

[onyx surge]

Kinda regret it tbh

Using it in zygarde, i mean

[quiet kite]

I gave up on gyzarde

[plucky sky]

I have enough cells to do the upgrade fully, but I refuse to upgrade my 2 star zygarde in case we ever get a shiny one since I will not be doing 300+ routes again

[grand canopy]

only to get a 2 star shiny

[plucky sky]

Frfr

At least bottlecaps exist now though

[supple scarab]

Anyone in Manchester?

[cloud ferry]

i highly suspect it’s eventually going to come to raids.

some time after the release of lza

[faint zephyr]

Is there anyone that would be able to help trade on pokémon Home for pokémon GO pokémon?

[cloud ferry]

What do you need bro?

[grand canopy]

oh thats a great pikachu

[glad niche]

This is crazy

[supple scarab]

I did well. Nundonown, two shiny Unown, Pikachu and Sandshrew, hundo Sack

And the Varoom research to catch when I get back

Finally got into a droopy raid so now I got all 3 Tatsugiris

[glad niche]

Interesting shiny release

[grand canopy]

ooh another 2x incense duration event

[fervent pewter]

<@&663761167176433665>

[fervent pewter]

surely this one...

but also Roar of time?

[alpine ether]

not 3000 pokecoins

[grand canopy]

i did 1h incense today in windy weather, got nothing

[sharp finch]

I wonder how that will function

Well nvm

I think I know

[wanton urchin]

When it says areas does it mean cities as in if you live in a city ?

[fervent pewter]

cool af mon

[fossil basin]

Forced update maybe got rid if it

The strangest one i got was alola grimer

[glad niche]

I got a sawsbuck yesterday and a gothitelle this morning

[grand canopy]

i think only tink got removed

[fringe folio]

tinkaton?

[fossil basin]

i guess that line

[loud gull]

Hi was thinking that Zamazenta would be good defenders against dmax latias and latios

[grand canopy]

zacian has the better typing but i dont know how that works vs zamas shield at the start

and no idea where blissey ranks with those in the mix

[fervent pewter]

i wish i had gmax gengar

[grand canopy]

[fringe folio]

rate the team, I’ve only ever completed a 5 star raid once and never a 4 star raid

[fervent pewter]

no dragonite

[woeful pulsar]

slaking inflation is real

[fervent pewter]

transferred all mine

[fringe folio]

I really have not been able to encounter that many dratinj

[fervent pewter]

great event coming up for you

[sharp finch]

What event?

[fervent pewter]

the next ultra unlock w aegislash

[grand canopy]

i would go crazy if i'd see 3 slaking every time i open my pokemon storage

[grand canopy]

shiny gbird today

i cant give up

[sharp finch]

I gave up seeing the one I care about

I found one the other day

Another GD moltres

[grand canopy]

no bird but lots of buizel

[grand canopy]

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/UOxAS8QxVP

really interesting stuff

[loud gull]

awesome so blissey is still a king healer

[quiet kite]

if they think this is gonna stop me from powering up my boy Shuckie, then theyre dead wrong

[grand canopy]

i hope i never need a healer 😭 2 tank + 1 attacker is hopefully enough for everything

i have 0 dmax blissey

[trail cloak]

I use Blissey every GMax but rarely heal. It's just there to tank.

[plucky sky]

Dmax Wailord kinda sucks, meanwhile Dmax Blissey has and always will have the healing crown

[grand canopy]

i only did 3* dmax raids so far so i didnt need any heals or tanks

i do wanna join a few latias dmax raids tho

[fervent pewter]

healing is quite good, but ofc not needed post remotes

[sharp finch]

Found this as soon as I arrived to my hotel

[quiet kite]

from my privileged position as a scumbag major urban area player, I barely ever see my Blissey even need healing

just put her up front, let her soak up the hits, and swap in damage dealers every single round

I think Zama is going to be taking that role now though,

[fervent pewter]

zama with max guard is better in that role ye

still gonna use blissey cuz not powering up / using xls on dynamax zama

[quiet kite]

technically its not Dmax Zama, because he doesnt dynamax

my beloved

[fervent pewter]

it is dynamax to me

[weary gorge]

The app is not opening for me what the fuck

It says it has an error

[grand canopy]

i already put my zama shield to lvl3 😭 i'll prob build a blissey whenever i get a good one because of type matchups

[glad niche]

Be me
Tries to finish the collection challenges
Sees 4 3* raids hatching nearby
All Kingler

[grand canopy]

i still need kingler and azu

[glad niche]

I see an azumarill but I won't get there in time and its getting late. Still light but I'll probably finish them tomorrow

However tomorrow and Sundary theres supposed to be thunderstorms

[grand canopy]

nominated 2 new pokestops

[fervent pewter]

im too scared to use wayfarer

[grand canopy]

both are info/history signs

so i dont think im in trouble

[glad niche]

Nice

[glad niche]

Why?

[fervent pewter]

account security

probably just over worried but kinda thing i wouldnt want to risk even if 1% chance i could lose my acct

[grand canopy]

i want more stops

[trail cloak]

Dm me your user/PW and I'll do it for you

[fervent pewter]

reserved for lucky friends

[glad niche]

What can happen then?

[fervent pewter]

tbh idk, im probably just fear mongering

[glad niche]

Speaking of wayfarer. I still need to submit some stops in my area. Tons of cycling signs

[grand canopy]

tatsugiri my beloved

[quiet kite]

Zamazenta is so good

did a few Lapras Max battles and he just does not take hardly any damage

[unborn garden]

Didn't have to heal my zama once after like 6 lapras

[fossil basin]

Music festival is black/white songs

Probs for tcg set

[unborn garden]

It's gone live for me apparently

Water festival is still live tho

[restive turtle]

guess I'm playing with music on then

[unborn garden]

I think they accidentally made it go live early

[wanton urchin]

Has any one got the field research yet? Or is a one you have to buy I just want a spinda lol

[fossil lichen]

Why am I hearing past event music ingame??

Currently have the 2021 go fest night theme on rn

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongo.com/en/post/pokemongo-summer-concert-2025/

[fossil lichen]

Right

I thought that confetti was for Gmax Lapras, because it has music notes

[craggy venture]

I have already gotten what i need earlier so I can't hear the in-game music unfortunately

First shiny gmax too

[wanton urchin]

I’m angry I can’t get the research for the spinda 😦 it’s just not showing up for me

[craggy venture]

I was looking for the research, but I don't see it

I don't mind it tho

[grand canopy]

i got one research for spinda

bit boring, was the same as usual with 5 great curveball in a row

[wanton urchin]

I only need one lol I don’t have spinda yet

[grand canopy]

love to see the XL

[grand canopy]

tomorrow

[forest saffron]

Are the gmax lapras odds 1/20 or 1/64

[grand canopy]

i thought it would be like a raid day with 1/10 😭 so no idea, probably 1/20

just did one gmax lapras raid, 1 pass doesnt hurt but DAMN those rewards are insane

[glad niche]

Those rewards suck
6 revives?

[trail cloak]

[restive turtle]

wowie

[restive turtle]

castform can spawn apparently???

[trail cloak]

The rainy one at least, I've seen a few without a cloud in the sky

[quiet kite]

I saw a normal one and a rain one

[fossil basin]

Ive seen normal and sunny

[drowsy quail]

These new “enhanced” spawns are pretty wild. In all the chaos of it, it looks like Oricorio may have been accidentally left out of spawns.

Ho you are right ! Maybe on Home if anyone is up for it

[wanton urchin]

Is it any stop or not ? As I’m not getting any sorry for questions

[normal oxide]

It should work like any other Field Research would outside of the event, so one per Poke Stop per day, you can only hold four at a time, etc. If the ones you've spun don't have it, check others.

not much here for me

[unborn garden]

If its just regular necrozma there's not much point

[trail cloak]

What's happening on Monday the 18th?

Randomly skipping that Max Monday

Dark Skies starts that day hmm

[quiet kite]

I do need more necrozma candy XL I guess, but im hardly going to paid pass grind for only that

real world cash is worth more than having a lv50 dawn wings over a lv45 one lol

[woeful pulsar]

there's missing raids etc that week, so we'll probs get that announced tomorrow during the presents

[twin cove]

My guess is an event similar to road to unova, or the Regis, ubs, etc leading up to the event

[trail cloak]

With a Max legendary

[quiet kite]

I will totally whale out for Mega Mewtwo and maybe even Dmax Mewtwo lol

[sharp finch]

Yeah, but with the galar build up, you'd expect them to release the third legendary

Imagine eternamax is just a pogo exclusive though

[quiet kite]

please don't ping me in replies

[sharp finch]

Sorry, mb

[quiet kite]

theyve already teased Eternatus

[sharp finch]

Wasn't intentional

Yeah, but then eternamax though

They are saving that for next year for SURE

The state that Aegislash was released in is unacceptable. Shield form takes almost no damage, even against level 50 master league pokemon. Sword form 1 shots everything. And mine isn't even above 1400 CP. This is embarrassing and needs to be banned from pvp immediately.

I just wanted to notify you two cause i know you two do pvp

[fervent pewter]

i just wanna know how tf he has one...

[fossil basin]

That is strange for sure

[fervent pewter]

ohh raids

i thought it was an egg pokemon lol

[fossil basin]

LOL

If you want one i can look for it its active here

[trail cloak]

Level ~35 Aegislash casually taking a level 50 Palkia's Fire Blast

[fossil basin]

Oh it’s raining here ill just get goodra

[fervent pewter]

ya find one for me

jk ill prob play w it tmrw when it drops for us

[fossil basin]

all good

[quiet kite]

pogo pvpers continue to eat it

why does anyone take this games pvp even remotely seriously lol

[unborn garden]

I mean I've got one here if youre interested aha

[sharp finch]

I mean I just got to level 6 in pvp just for my 2nd favorite Kalos boy

Nearly went undefeated

Zacian, Black Kyurem, Kyogre

Stupid set up

[trail cloak]

In a world where PvP has no bugs, it's really fun and has fast paced, 3-5 minute matches that you can play anywhere, any time

In our world, the real one, we're clinging to the hope that one day they figure it out and it works as intended so we're not frustrated every other battle

Aegislash release is just another example in a long line of releases that shows Niantic doesn't have a great grip on their own software

[quiet kite]

yeah this is the problem

not to mention the fact that theyre making a mobile online pokemon battle experience that is so susceptible to lag spikes and split-second timing issues

[trail cloak]

Consistency is key to a healthy competitive environment, and it's been far from consistent for many years now

[quiet kite]

like, lag and spikes should not be an issue for online Pokémon battles. they invented a battle system that has this issue

[trail cloak]

You never know if the game's going to behave in manner A or B

[fervent pewter]

save your breath its like talking to a wall

[quiet kite]

💯 I agree totally

[trail cloak]

I think we're on the same page - I do think we have the infrastructure to have such a fast paced game available to us

Pokemon Go is not built to be that game

[quiet kite]

back when I PvPd a lot I bought a USB C lan adapter to play on lmao

it makes a difference

[loud gull]

hmm might be using articuno for Latios dmax raids

[grand canopy]

if anyone here plans on doing a few latias raids this weekend and has a spot free please let me know, i'd love to join a few

[quiet kite]

you can add me and ill try to ping u. but im on east asia hours 979360974306

[grand canopy]

[craggy venture]

Same here

I do wanna get at least 2 or 3 of each

[glad niche]

https://store.pokemongo.com/offer-redemption?passcode=GOFESTMAX

What's the best gmax to choose?

[restive turtle]

I'm personally going rillaboom because it's the only one i didn't get

[grand canopy]

i think rilla is the strongest grass type attacker? not sure but its stronger than venu

i already chose rilla anyway but thats what i think

[quiet kite]

theyre all top tier

[sharp finch]

I just needed the James Bond boy himself

Got the other 2 during go fest

[fossil basin]

I got them all but idk who too chose

I chose rillaboom cause it was the worst stats out of all of em

[woeful pulsar]

it looks so good

i need to see which gmax i haven't invested yet and aim for those

[grand canopy]

probably the best background so far

[elfin mirage]

Anyone else having issues with the reward code they just released? It says I've claimed in and I chose Rilaboom but don't see the research for it

[glad niche]

Yeah i checked a website tier list and they're all in S. Gamepress

[grand canopy]

restarting the game helps me when a research i have/should have isnt there

[grand canopy]

i'll prob go for zard, cant go wrong with that old fella

[fossil basin]

https://pokemongo.com/gofestmaxfinale

[visual tartan]

somebody have a mew?

its for my dex from lets go

[fervent pewter]

287??? that gotta be a bug no?

[sharp finch]

For supposedly being boosted in the premium pass battle league

I sure didn't just pull multiple vullaby in a row and not a single honedge

Having multiple tough battles for a pokemon I have a 4* and shiny version of

[high zealot]

Looking for any random Pokemon to trade

[sharp finch]

Update: got a paldean wooper, and another god damn vullaby

And now that I'm rank 10, I won't be able to do much

[sharp finch]

Best I stop now

Too many possible encounters, I'll have a stroke

[craggy venture]

It's time to go big or go home

But I'll deal with the backgrounds after getting these targets
Gmax gengar, tox, and champ

[nimble panther]

Would anyone help me with trade evolutions for gen 1 Pokémon? It would be greatly appreciated (:

[glad rover]

Trading is local in this game

[glad rover]

Probably not, the completed research also counts any timed researches you finished as well

Mine says 139 completed but I haven't really been around since day one of the game either

[grand canopy]

no bird but monkey

[grand canopy]

😭

[restive turtle]

Is the salandit encounter from deluxe go pass guaranteed to be female?

[grand canopy]

nope

[restive turtle]

I'm two for two then

[fervent pewter]

what that mean

is that the flapple guy

[grand canopy]

yep

thats the hydrapple apple

[fervent pewter]

this thing was hella hard to catch 😂

[fervent pewter]

do you guys believe in the tin foil conspiracy that new accounts have better shiny odds

[quiet kite]

why would anyone believe that

[trail cloak]

Because they have very specific data samples that totally prove it!!

[fervent pewter]

lol i keep seeing facebook posts about it sent to me

some of these boomers are making good points 😂

[trail cloak]

How many new accounts that do not get lucky with shinies have shared their (non) luck with us?

[fossil basin]

Yeah it took a few tries for me to get excellent when i did it lol

i did hit it though

[fervent pewter]

are they in the room with us right now?

[nimble panther]

Trying to find someone to trade me a Haunter, Machoke and Kadabra for my let’s go Pokédex, can anyone help?

[fossil basin]

This is pokemon go

Not lets go

[normal yarrow]

Can you guys help me build a team for gl

[fossil basin]

Now that begs a question when will mega dragonite come to pogo

Song dropped! Rip the compression really ruins it… https://fxtwitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1947725680130609550

Matt (@mattyoukhana_)

Datamines don't stop yet today, because Pokémon GO also pushed the battle music for Eternamax Eternatus in Pokémon GO Fest: Max Finale.
︀︀
︀︀In 0.371.0, the quality of audio was improved significantly from past releases (still compressed, so not ideal), and this piece follows suit.

[grand canopy]

damn this is literally just a raid event

[grand canopy]

and the gmax raids are only on the weekend then?

[fervent pewter]

this is just part 1 of the event

[grand canopy]

yeah ik thats the lead-up event to the weekend

but that means on the weekend we get crowned zacian/zama, eternatus and gmax raids?

[fervent pewter]

i figure the gmax are just rotating throughout the week 🤔

but maybe not

they dont say anything lol

[woeful pulsar]

i'm pretty sure it said weekdays (part 1) is dmax only, weekend will have all the gmax with the occassional dmax

and the gmax raids are on hourly rotation for "increased likelihood", but all can appear all day

[craggy venture]

Question, out of all the dmaxs/gmaxs that's coming up next month, which are good to have?

[woeful pulsar]

you want 1-2 blissey's built to tank if you don't already
other than that:
intelleon, cinderace, rillaboom, gengar, toxtricity are all good DPS options for their types that are relatively future proof

[craggy venture]

Ngl, I should've started with those, but I don't do much dmax raids

And yeah, gen and tox are the ones i do wanna get

[ashen gazelle]

Does a level 1 shiny legendary have any value trade wise? I got a shiny regigigas during the research last month or whenever and its CP is 59 which I'm pretty sure makes it level 1, but I feel like that devalues it?

[fervent pewter]

it can have personal value

[grand canopy]

from that regi research lvl1 has the most value imo

[sharp finch]

I mean I do have a level 1 uxie from sinnoh tour

[grand canopy]

the lake trio mons are still available tho, the regis were only available for a week (and you had to do raids for the encounters)

[craggy venture]

Despite that i have skipped gen 1 to 3, sinnoh tour i enjoyed the most

It's unfortunate that i didn't continue playing past gen 5

[ashen gazelle]

Oh wild I had no idea ty!

[crisp relic]

heroineaddict has given 1 Gen Rep to .alyz.

[gusty hatch]

And obviously after getting the lucky trinket, both my great friends don't play PoGo anymore

[grand canopy]

second stop got accepted

and the first turned into a gym

if only i had ONE PERSON to play the game with 😭 theres so much stuff here

[woeful pulsar]

when not zoomed in, it just looks like you have a big red streak next to your char

[grand canopy]

😭

heres the eternatus powerup cost

[grand canopy]

total cost:
Total Stardust: 520000

Total Candy: 9484

Total XL Candy: 4028.

[woeful pulsar]

welp good thing i have like 2k rare candy saved atm

[grand canopy]

im pretty sure they'll lower the powerup cost when it actually releases

[woeful pulsar]

i'm curious what the adventure effect will be
because we'll have to be using candy for that too

[grand canopy]

or the eternatus raids give insane candy rewards

[woeful pulsar]

yeah otherwise these eternamax raids need to be giving like 100+ candy to actually match up to what they're claiming about helping us power up

[grand canopy]

i still hope for a candy increase adventure effect

because we already have like everything else, catch radius, item duration, extra spawns, catch increase, damage and defense boost

[woeful pulsar]

i wonder how early you'll be able to catch it. since pass exp is capped during the weekdays, maybe if you hit cap every day you catch it on friday and then have the weekend to hit more levels/raids

[grand canopy]

would be nice to get it on friday yeah

[fervent pewter]

rurals get blessed

[grand canopy]

adventure effect

bit of a bummer tbh

[grand canopy]

😭

[glad niche]

Noice

[glad niche]

Im sorry?

[grand canopy]

eternatus better drop 500 candy every raid

[grand canopy]

exactly

[craggy venture]

I would do that, but I don't play as often as i do

I do play for some events, like raid days or go fest

[glad rover]

With how Noibat's so common in this event I should hopefully have a Noivern soon

Currently at 314 candies

[sharp finch]

I mean it kind of makes sense when you look at the main series effect, what else could it have done?

It's basically a portable max mushroom

[woeful pulsar]

bleh

[grand canopy]

someone put a pokemon into the gym with my toxtricity in it and its so cute, they went from lvl29 -> lvl30 today

[fossil basin]

AXN (@ItsAXN)

Now that Aegislash has been fixed, here are my initial thoughts:
︀︀
︀︀I don't think it's good, but I can see the unique gameplay it brings. The fast move really holds it back, but the form change mechanic has such a high skill ceiling.
︀︀
︀︀One of my favorite endgames with it today 👇

Zacian is a god send. Finally was able to solo a stupid ice Crystal

[fervent pewter]

1/4 of a billion

my grind start now

[alpine ether]

equal value trade

also great user for your friend

[trail cloak]

Idk, I haven’t seen Natu in many months, but I’ve seen shiny Gimmi only two weeks ago

[restive turtle]

i agree

i stole my friend's joke

told him to use it

[grand canopy]

when 10k walking distance

[fossil basin]

About to snipe you from faraway https://www.rxddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/1m7ay01/this_is_a_glitch_right/

Like very very far away

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

this is annoying

[craggy venture]

It's a good thing imma get gengar and tox

[fervent pewter]

im missing everything besides lapras rillsboom inteleon and machamp lol

will get my dex entries but really only care to get a good gmax gengar

might even get the event shiny boost

[glad rover]

Hatched a Larvesta from a 10k egg which finally gave me enough to evolve my buddy, just checked the buddy history, took 207 days

Now I just need Keldeo to come back so I can get the Unova platinum

I'm honestly pretty close to platinuming a few of the dexes. Hoenn I just need Tropius and Relicanth, Sinnoh I need Manaphy, Phione and Arceus but they're sadly not released yet, Kalos I just need to evolve my Honedge to Aegislash, evolve Noibat and to get Hawlucha but regional. Hisui needs Basculegion to be released, Alola's still missing a few things with them needing to be released still. Galar and Paldea still have a lot to release as well

[grand canopy]

i'll go for zard, all in

[grand canopy]

the premium pass thingy? that only boosts shiny odds for 1star-4star dmax raids

[fervent pewter]

yea still kinda fun lol

especially if im gonna be farming em

[grand canopy]

thats nice then

i'll just do those i'd do anyway when im out with my dog

and remote zard obviously

not bad not bad

There is an ongoing issue in Pokémon GO resulting in Pokémon in the wild fleeing after the first throw.

GO Plus devices still work, and Pokémon not in the wild will behave as expected.

I will update when this issue gets resolved.

[restive turtle]

traded my friend a pachirisu cuz she couldn't get one and it went lucky so now I have this

[arctic hamlet]

raid pass exploit doesn't work anymore, it was working before this bug hit

looks like they borked something with the flee rate when they were patching it

[supple scarab]

Which should I evolve?

[craggy venture]

Second

374

[supple scarab]

Because?*

[craggy venture]

It's kinda simple for me, but it has more HP than the other two

[glad niche]

First one
Best IVs

[supple scarab]

Makes sense

Ooh. 356 and 374. I’ll have to sleep on it

Thanks for the suggestions

[woeful pulsar]

the best compensation if you lost a shiny gbirb

[loud gull]

well this is insane

[woeful pulsar]

that fact it's 1h each or?

[grand canopy]

yep, wouldve loved more time with the gmax mons

[woeful pulsar]

apparently those hours are just "increased rate" and the others should still be appearing. just have to see how much that means they're never clear with it
