i see

that's still insane

[fossil basin]

Agreed on that

[gaunt horizon]

In random partners for challenges

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongo.com/news/lunar-new-year-event-2026 shiny gimmi

[restive turtle]

will it have a chance of having a background/costume making it unable to evolve again

[grand canopy]

dont think its the background one again, shouldve only been available for 9th anniversary

just regular gimmi this time i hope

[restive turtle]

thank fuck

now i just need to hope the PokéStops randomly turning gold without a lure isn't bugged again

alt has three more hundo gimmighouls that i wanna evolve

[woeful pulsar]

chinese background for CNY

[weary gorge]

For the love of god finally!!

[lone scarab]

I do kinda think coins for unique holidays would be cool but the no evo shit is nonsense haha

[torpid fjord]

35 minutes apart

Atleast i already have more than 2 of both

Im more after buneary

Its like i have its mega but not the shiny

[fossil basin]

I lost a shiny cyndaquil last Saturday

[kindred musk]

my first ever cyndaquil I clicked on was shiny

Proof if you don’t believe

Back then I used to record all of my shinies

I was so hyped he was my first ever starter back in the day

He’s my baby

[weary gorge]

Bro just evolve him 😭

[ocean orbit]

Kinda shit they show you during sex ed

4 giris swimming towards an egg

[weary gorge]

What happened to shame bro

On other non sexual note

I finally did all the first page of the shiny keldeo

100 water and fighting catches

Aaaaaaa

[sharp finch]

It won't be that bad

Water being the most common type and fighting being pretty common too

Im more worried about finally evolving my larvesta for the platinum

[lone scarab]

[sharp finch]

I mean yeah, I just reached half way

I just don't want to do go battle league because every time I try I get bodied and get like 1 win

[sharp finch]

I kept losing when my opponent was on 1HP

I was ready to lose my mind

[restive turtle]

my first ever roggenrola was shiny and was from the community day way back when

i got covid the next day :(

[kindred musk]

noooo i got 2 others to evolve

[kindred musk]

well mine was full odds

[restive turtle]

ok buddy

[kindred musk]

my first sunkern was shiny too full odds also

[sharp finch]

I have too many shiny roggenrola

on com day i got 50 something

and then i keep finding full odds ones

its a curse

[restive turtle]

i got like 10-15 ish on comm day but transferred a lot of them to HOME and now just have two plus the evos

kept five total but traded one after watching someone accidentally transfer their shiny gigalith

got a shiny new year Jigglypuff for it even though I told them they could send whatever back

[sharp finch]

Its a solid shiny, but i have also transferred quite a few

[restive turtle]

lost this Dialga and didn't even get rewarded for completing the raid

wiped as it went down but when I went back in got stuck on this screen

[lone scarab]

Go raids having lock-out bugs? Unheard of

Go send a support ticket you'll probably get the pass back at least, they don't really seem to care much they just return it to stop the nagging haha

[fossil basin]

Were you able to reenter it and catch it ot no

[restive turtle]

no the raid expired

would have had time to catch if this didn't happen

[restive turtle]

they didn't reimburse me last time this happened I strongly doubt they would now

[lone scarab]

no harm trying

[restive turtle]

maybe tomorrow

KILL THAT THING

WITH FIRE

[fossil basin]

LMAO shiny boosts for furfrou and luvdisc on the side

[sharp finch]

Please tell me kalos tour will be worth it

After looking at all the details it looks pretty boring compared to the last few tours

The last few introduced a couple of interesting things, but this is just 2 new megas that have no relevance

[lone scarab]

kalos is such a small region it'll be pretty boring for more people than usual I'd imagjne

even regional wise not that much to look for, hawluchas a nice pick up but all the flabebes had a cday and stuff so meh

[weary gorge]

Wait fr??

[sharp finch]

Hawlucha is literally the only reason to play for me, other than shiny honedge and maybe finally get the shiny box legends

Sad ti see they did literally nothing with zyguard except increase the amount of routes

They could have at least tried

[fossil basin]

Mega zygarde/j

Or its just going to be like diancie quest

[sharp finch]

Or make it easier

For those who cant really do routes

[kindred musk]

They usually reimburse but it’s usually a normal raid paid instead of a remote (if you used a remote)

Every once in a while they gave me a remote when I used one and it bugged out back when remote and regular were the same price they always have back remote passes

[solid urchin]

do you think zeoroa will be in raids or research

cause it has a mega

[restive turtle]

personally i would bet mega mewtwo in raids for go fest then the paid ticket legendary is zeraora + mega energy

[grand canopy]

almost there

[unborn garden]

Def this

They wouldnt put it in raids

[autumn spindle]

The Oricorio task just feels disappointing when you can't get the regional forms

[cursive kiln]

I slogged halfway through the catch mastery steps (5/10) and while I did get 2 shinies it is really just * * * * when its nothing but insert oricorio of your region here

[lone scarab]

diancies never been in raids, it has a mega

[autumn spindle]

Anyway, got a 4/14/15 Flamigo this morning, so I'm good with that

[glad rover]

Oh yeah that annoyed me, like when I saw the event details I was hyped until it said that everything is still just your region specific one. Just feels like a rip off and boring, so will definitely not be buying the paid timed research

Maybe next year when they most definitely will do an alola tour they'll have some availability

[autumn spindle]

If it gets Peck and/or Revelation Dance, maybe

[fervent pewter]

never purify again

[lone scarab]

Damn all the tasks and every stop in town and no shiny birbs

dw got a buneary tho

[glad niche]

And i got nothing from doing about half of it

[restive turtle]

someone in a discord server for my local area happens to be out of the country this weekend and is getting the purple one to trade to people

i'd grind this if i were in that situation

[restive turtle]

ended up going out and doing the free research since i didn't have shiny oricorio at all, didn't get one

[weary gorge]

Me either

[fossil basin]

I got 1

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/SublX9W6L0

[solid urchin]

So close good luck

[restive turtle]

20 day streak achieved

[lone scarab]

nice

only 2 more years till the kecleons are done gl

[kindred musk]

That poor cat has seen things

[glossy sapphire]

Hey y'all, I have 4 D-Max Eevees and I'm planning on finishing my D-Max set of Eeveelutions, but I need nickname ideas. I've been naming by grouping, so I have the gen1 trio & sylveon done. If you want what i named them for reference, just ask, but I really need help coming up with new ideas :3 Thx :3

[restive turtle]

kecleons shouldn't be THAT hard i just gotta dive into the big city for a while

i was getting them at least every other day not too long ago

[loud gull]

Oh no that took me over half a year to get all the kecleon.

but that was before they had them spawn more frequently

[restive turtle]

had me worried for a second

[weary gorge]

My ass read "Catch 10 Keldeo" and i was like tf you mean

This Keldeo research is doing bad to my head lmao

Spread the word

Mega victrebel will be coming to go soon

None of the other new megas have this

I will be posting this on Reddit spread the word

[solid urchin]

I’m still on 10 best buddies

[unborn garden]

Its been announced along malamar for go tour Kalos

[glad niche]

Hey same. Ive been on it for years im never gonna get it done

[woeful pulsar]

it's been datamined for a while

and officially announced too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y0aOb6wJyc

[grand canopy]

[trail cloak]

[restive turtle]

unfortunate

[fossil basin]

When its 10am local time on a Tuesday rmbr to do this

[restive turtle]

would have done that last year but it didn't ever give me the option

[fossil basin]

Yeah do it now

When you can

[wary sigil]

Does anyone here have any tips for getting the spinda in POGO need one to put in home for my living dex

[restive turtle]

cowboy fun fact:

spinda is one of three pokemon that can't be transferred to home

other two are zygarde and eternatus

[wary sigil]

I thought I read somewhere you can transfer ones from POGO to home

[restive turtle]

you thought wrong

it's actually probably because of spinda's spot pattern being dependent on its personality value but since there's only 9 possible spot patterns in PoGo it would need to change spot patterns when transferred to home which would upset people who wanna transfer one because of a specific spot pattern

at least that's my take on it

could be for a completely different reason

[loud gull]

Dangit looks like spinda will unlock after the global task is done. Want to get that shiny

[woeful pulsar]

if you need a spinda in HOME for living dex, the only method is to import one from pokemon bank. that or trade with someone else that has done that

[woeful pulsar]

Was way too lazy with it

[steel quartz]

Anyone got any cool outfits I could use as inspiration for pogo

[fervent pewter]

enjoy purify

[grand canopy]

tomorrow

[loud gull]

I'm still trying to complete the 300 km for level 76

[sharp finch]

Im still on page 1 for shiny keldeo because its been cold as hell in Wisconsin

[loud gull]

Yikes at least the task isn't temporary so you can take your time

[sharp finch]

This about to take longer than shaymin

Probably because I need platinum medal and I'm missing volcarona

And I'm only at 200 candies

Halfway though!

[loud gull]

Oh yea gonna need that too

[restive turtle]

can mega alakazam please just come back for go tour it's the only one i don't have

[grand canopy]

[fossil basin]

Global challenge complete! Gl to your spindas!

[grand canopy]

0/6 for me

[fossil basin]

I heard pokestop research has them too so gl

“Do 5 Great throws in a row” or something

[weary gorge]

My Go doesn't want to open 😭

[restive turtle]

5 great curveball throws in a row

I've gotten a few of them

none shiny

[kindred musk]

yay

time to get nothing yay

yeah i got nothing yay

[patent tulip]

anyone wanna join to try to do palkia?

[restive turtle]

yippee

why is the heart broken: (

spinda field researches are surprisingly common actually

[lucid frigate]

I think it’s a rarer pattern whenever the heart is available

[restive turtle]

oh??

[lucid frigate]

Also referencing the anime like the normal heart pattern

Oh nvm from what i see the shiny always has the broken heart

[restive turtle]

oh

[restive turtle]

interesting

community ambassador for the area k go to for raid hours gives out prizes for the first person to get 10/10/10 from a raid and I finally got it the ONE time he cancelled

i didn't even catch it

[restive turtle]

every single raid this raid hour has been Palkia for me

Oh boy my favorite region

K a n t o

[sharp finch]

Why does kanto, why I ask

Well there's nothing else they can really do at the moment

They were releasing too much too fast, but they were running out of content

Feels like we would get a region every year

Only thing they can really do now is release the paradox and dlc mons

[weary gorge]

Or maybe

Hear me tf out

More Keldeo

[sharp finch]

Imagine that the paradoxes get tied to the regular incense so there some incentive to both of them

Then you can probably tie the box legends to raids

[restive turtle]

i swear if go fest this year is another rediscover kanto event

i mean I'll still play it for more mewtwo but i won't be happy about it

[grand canopy]

[unborn garden]

💯

[unborn garden]

Ouchh

[grand canopy]

diancie gonna be 15/15/15

trust

[unborn garden]

Surely

[grand canopy]

the encounter screen is beautiful

[fervent pewter]

dang i got the hundo spinda and the next one i claim was shiny

[glad niche]

Congratulations

[lavish finch]

How am I supposed to complete the seasonal research if I don't have anyone near me to trade with?

Or any research that involves trades actually

Not that I particularly want tandemaus, I'm just a completionist

[grand canopy]

make a new pogo account on another device and trade with that, could be an account for a family member for example

[lavish finch]

Genius

[sharp finch]

All mine were 2*

[kindred musk]

That’s tragic

[fossil basin]

Due to the gofest icon, many people are speculating zeraroa is coming

[torpid fjord]

This is the longest ive gone without seeing a shiny

Its been 2 weeks now and im using incenses

And both nidorans are shiny boosted

[sharp finch]

I have been polluted with dupes recently

[torpid fjord]

I did catch 2 four stars though

Drapion and ribombee

These are all of my 4 stars

I eventually need to evolve bisharp but when i do steel type raids i forget to add it

And i have flu a right now so i cant go out and do dialga raids

[restive turtle]

i got hundo remoraid and greavard yesterday + hundo clawitzer from premium go pass on alt

didn't go out today cuz i got like 15 dollars to my name rn but whatever

[torpid fjord]

The game keeps giving me green raid passes and for some reason end up with more than i use

I have like 30 rn

Ill do like maybe 4 or so raids on my days off but they give me the 2 free orange passes and never get to the green ones

So what are we gonna do for valentines honey?

• idk about you but I'm gonna go catch some turtles, bye

gets me every time, couldn't extend the event at all eh?

[loud gull]

and guessing it is much stronger than the other form

I wonder if it is much stronger than Zacian as fairy type

[fervent pewter]

is not that great

[unborn garden]

Yeah worse than regular right?

[loud gull]

yikes, yea the charge move is different than the other form

[fossil basin]

How tall? End me https://vxtwitter.com/pokemongoapp/status/2022419369402237302

Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp)

What's Your Favorite? Tip:

Did you know that Mewtwo is 6’7” tall?

Make sure you have enough space when taking a photo so you don’t get an error. Big Pokémon need big space! Try checking the height of the Pokémon first so you know how much room to give it. #Pokemon30 #PokemonGO

[fervent pewter]

i find the 6 7 thing actually really funny, i teach maybe 70 kids a week to ski and they all spam it

[loud gull]

I wonder how wailord looks in picture

[weary gorge]

KILL IT

[weary gorge]

Oh boy i can't wait to take a picture with my Sandslash!

It's what i would say if i could use the option

Thanks Google

[lone scarab]

[lone scarab]

I don't think it's funny irl but it's fun to point it out in text lol

[autumn spindle]

So Therian Enamorus is okay, but we still have to wait for its Springtide Storm move to be added?

[fossil basin]

Enamorus raid day sucked

Guess what filled most of the raids: furfrou

[autumn spindle]

This coming before the Gigantamax Meowth might also be a problem

[glad niche]

Why would they do an event but have all of those happening?

[fossil basin]

There were reports in my raid group that once enamorus was defeated, furfrou appeared instead

someone got a shiny furfrou from it but not everyone did

The reverse never happened

[glad niche]

This is still a present bug?

[autumn spindle]

Somehow, it's still around

[loud gull]

They could also start a new line up of costumed pokemon.

[sharp finch]

I honestly could care less about costumes

[loud gull]

Would also be nice if they make a new pokemon like Meltan.

[weary gorge]

There's no enamorous shiny right

[loud gull]

nope just for dex filling

or go for the hundo

[weary gorge]

Oh well

Had a 91 i think

That's enough for me

[loud gull]

Oh dang just heard that mega mewtwo will take a ton more energy to use, hopefully not like eternatus

[restive turtle]

the two gyms close enough to my house have both had furfrou every single time raids refreshed

[restive turtle]

got to do three raids ultimately, first two ran from my main though.

caught all three on the alt

[weary gorge]

Where the hell is Landorus bro

[restive turtle]

gone

[weary gorge]

Nooooooo

[autumn spindle]

So I saw Gmax Meowth will be a tough one for its heavier damage in the raid battle, compared to some other Gmax raids before

[lone scarab]

I didn't find it that bad but it was spamming night slash ridiculously fast, just happens that darks resisted by both the doggos lol

And one of these teammates was not like the other one

[autumn spindle]

I was still able to beat one, though

Now we know what to be prepared for when Gmax Pikachu and Gmax Eevee come up next

[lone scarab]

pikachu meet excadrill, I'm sure you two will be good friends

clicks surf

[glad niche]

They're trying their best ok

[fossil basin]

I bought my alt out and all it had was crapy mon :(

[sharp finch]

Well I have a reason to play during kalos tour

Im wanting that shiny honedge

And also finally a shiny xerneas because I got a 4* before the shiny

(My only 4* legendary)

[lone scarab]

I want a hawlucha

yeah that's about it lol

anything else just a bonus

[lucid frigate]

Unfortunately the big reveal for kalos tour is pretty shit with the new megas but i already got the in person ticket so ill probably do honedge and xerneas/yveltal raids to try and get the LA background (hopefully shiny too)

[restive turtle]

i already have Kalos platinum because I got some Hawlucha when I went down to San Diego over the summer

but Kalos my home gen so I'm still gonna grind this shit into oblivion

would love a completed Kalos shiny dex

[lucid frigate]

Im missing some from the dex but mainly just cause i need to evolve, im really only missing doublade and aegislash cause i dont have the candy to evolve it

So ill probably get that done by raiding honedge during kalos tour, a shiny with LA background would be sick

[restive turtle]

i spent too much time grinding it when it released

[sharp finch]

Last thing I need for my kalos dex

[sharp finch]

Sadly cant be done yet due to hoopa, volcanion and zyguard

[sharp finch]

I already got my aegislash when it released due to it being busted, but now its garbage and not really usable

[restive turtle]

completed minus those

[sharp finch]

I mean its still usable, but it needs something to happen to meta

[weary gorge]

Sooo there are some pokemon that are region locked or something?

[lone scarab]

yeah

sometimes it's just a form, like oricorio (ex. Yellow one is americas), sometimes it's a whole mon (like stonjourner in UK or something)

Sometimes they're featured in events, like hawlucha will be available global for kalos tour, tho I wouldn't count on them happening for everything lol

[weary gorge]

Damn-

I really want a shiny mega kangaskhan 😭

[lone scarab]

that one is global at least when the mega raids in rotation

[loud gull]

Just thought of a cool idea that pokemon go would bring in beauty pageants to give them new badges to wear like the best buddy badge

[unborn garden]

yeah mega kangaskhan comes around semi often

[weary gorge]

I hope that's the case this year

Cuz last event i missed it completely

who has a blue mega shiny? Dragonite

[kindred musk]

Wdym

how would we have it if it’s not out yet

[fossil basin]

It’s speculation

and mega dragonite asset has been datamined

[fervent pewter]

surely i get shiny latias in kalos tour

[sharp finch]

I need Latinos shiny

I already got 2 shiny latinas

Latinos

I MISSED A DAY OF GIMMIGHOUL HUNTING

now i have a third alt to make up the difference

[autumn spindle]

Got a 15/15/14 Gimmighoul now.

At the moment, I'm between it and the 15/14/15 one from a while ago to evolve into Gholdengo

[glad niche]

Thats easy as long as youre not a rural player

[fathom grotto]

Idk if the game did a update recently, but everytime I try to catch something my game gets a white screen all the time and when I go to Settings it also freezes

I'm the only one with this issue?

[torpid fjord]

Is this as rare as a shundo

[unborn garden]

Rarer

Plus its lvl 1

[lone scarab]

shnonedo

but yeah nundos are always rarer cuz some mons have IV floors that arent 0 but none have IV caps that aren't max

[restive turtle]

is anyone else not getting coins from spinning gold PokéStops or am i actually delusional

[torpid fjord]

Ive only seen 1 golden pokestop

And ive passed by alot today

[restive turtle]

just saw my second one

[kindred musk]

holy hell

[grand canopy]

what is wrong with diglett

why is it like a balloon

[unborn garden]

Alolan diglett

[grand canopy]

no like you see how it gets a little bit bigger at the end?

[unborn garden]

Oh yeah huh weird

[loud gull]

Oh yea I noticed that when catching them in the wild

[night bone]

Guys, I may have done a terrible mistake

Pls let someone actually kill her

I want her back 😭

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongo.com/news/mega-evolution-2026-update

[lone scarab]

oh fun, more raids ya can't do in the country lol

and I didn't even know ditto could do anything till I read that article lol

[loud gull]

Read there will be shields to knock down with mega pokemon. I wonder how this looks in game.

[restive turtle]

not getting to take down shields with primal Kyogre/Groudon is gonna suck

I hope they change this eventually

oh they also updated the mega button in the UI

[lone scarab]

I mean it's cool, but doesn't it already take like 5 months to free mega it up to max

[loud gull]

I do like the idea of creating more strategy for raiding, glad I already got some mega pokemon at max level

[autumn spindle]

You can't get Mega Energy from those Super Mega Raids unless you have bought the Kalos Tour ticket.
That may also be a letdown for those who wanted to get those new Megas

[autumn spindle]

Not sure if I'll be ready for this

[weary gorge]

I spinned like 10 golden pokestops

Got coins from one of them bruh

Like 6 coins

[loud gull]

I hope I can get a good zygard, mine sucks in stats

[lone scarab]

I'm 40 cells away so if that's global, nice lol

[kindred musk]

i haven't gotten a single cell bro

that crap is not worth my time

[loud gull]

I was able to get enough to fully evolve a week ago but waiting till another zygard is given.

[loud gull]

Oh I would want to get as many lunala as I can

[lucid frigate]

Looks so adorable, will definitely try to get that with the background next weekend

[autumn spindle]

So, will the Global event let us get the Mega energy from those raids?

[unborn garden]

Yep

[autumn spindle]

They still need to fix the Rocket Grunt battles and stop them from unfairly fainting our Pokemon when connection is lost or that "Error (2)" thing

[kindred musk]

Better be here for global smh

[weary gorge]

Umm.. read a bit above maybe?

[kindred musk]

nuh uh

[grand canopy]

i hate these birds

[fossil basin]

Dont we all

[glad niche]

I agree

[lone scarab]

AT LEAST YOURE FINDING THEM

[weary gorge]

I managed to catch Zapdos but had to use my masterball

It wasn't that good either XD

But the joke is to catch them

[ocean orbit]

Road to kalos tour backgrounds are live even if event hasn’t started in ur area

It’s 1 pm Sunday where I’m at rn and I just got a bg on my first remote

[fervent pewter]

<@&663761167176433665>

[woeful pulsar]

ty

[fervent pewter]

why is it always our channels

[sharp finch]

Shockingly have all 3 with decent IVs

2 in master balls, 1 in a great ball

The zapdos was almost a 4*

[weary gorge]

How you know 👁

[sharp finch]

Talking about my own

Km still trying to find any shiny bird to no avail

But I can find 3 more shiny roggenrola for some reason (I'm going to rip my own hair out)

[fervent pewter]

i want the shiny g moltres <1500

would be my crown jewel

[autumn spindle]

I did get a Shiny Moltres back then, though I'm yet to get the other two shiny birds

I haven't used the daily incense much, though

[kindred musk]

I thought I was remembering wrong

[kindred musk]

My shiny bird is just above 1500 lol

It’s in a safari ball too cause it was safari week

[fervent pewter]

too bad its the worst of the 3

[sharp finch]

I mean its the only one I want so...

I'll trade ya if I get one of the others

[grand canopy]

looks like a stinker tbf

maybe the link charges can be useful, who nose

[fervent pewter]

the cells are worth to me

[grand canopy]

im maxed out on zygarde cells

for months now i think

[weary gorge]

I wish i caught a shiny solgaleo 😭

[unborn garden]

Shiny solgaleo isnt out in go yet

[grand canopy]

if the hoopa is at lvl15 i hab to buy the pass

[sharp finch]

Same, also the link charges for farming the megas i guess

[autumn spindle]

Did a bunch of Lunala raids here, though so far haven't got much luck trying to get one with high Defense and HP IVs for the Master League yet

[fossil basin]

A Road to kalos battle pass is live

Deluxe pass includes zygarde cells

[weary gorge]

What

Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me

[unborn garden]

Lunala isnt either

[weary gorge]

Bro i bought 6 passes trying to hunt a shiny solgaleo

Why are they locked when Necrozma ISN'T

I guess it was worth it cuz i got a XXL and a XXS, and a 3 stars

And yes i am coping but i prefer to do that instead of throwing my phone to a police car

[unborn garden]

They just havent released them

They will next year for Alola tour tho

[sharp finch]

what time zone you in

[fossil basin]

earlier than yours

[lone scarab]

Think I'm only 40 cells off so the pass will get me there

[cerulean halo]

man, they really fucking hate rural players don't they?

same goes for this shit in the seasonal research

[grand canopy]

fuck it i'll buy the pass

[loud gull]

yep saw that too sadly

[kindred musk]

What are the iv floors for these?

They’re part of the mega evolution teaching thing

I’m guessing like 14 14 14 or 13 13 13?

[cold saffron]

probably the 10/10/10, because mine were lower than that

[grand canopy]

yeah i had like 11/15/10 i believe

[loud gull]

Yea the Super mega raids will reward 13/13/13 stats only

[grand canopy]

oooh

fair enuff, SUPER mega raids have better IVs

can the costume pikas spawn in the wild? or raid exclusive

[loud gull]

yep but I've already gotten the hundo dragonight last november

[loud gull]

I don't know sadly

I think the last time it was through tasks

[glad niche]

Interesting

[cold saffron]

according to leek duck, they're in field research

[loud gull]

good thing is that every hour during the weekend all tasks will reset so no limit

[glad niche]

What does that have to do with the raids?

[loud gull]

oops tagged the wrong person lol

[loud gull]

Good thing is that every hour during these weekend events the tasks will reset and wont limit us on rewards from pokestops.

[loud gull]

Wish you luck on the shundo

[glad niche]

Far out chance I get one

[loud gull]

true I rember 1 pokemon fest I wasn't able to get a shiny from raids after over 70 raids.

[grand canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

[grand canopy]

this bonus is so silly

so many scatterbug

[loud gull]

no hundo?

[grand canopy]

do we get anything for max raids this event?

[loud gull]

Sadly all I know is that legendarys will swap out daily

[unborn garden]

Max battles?

Also Flittle and Orbeetle has been revealed thanks to this video

[fossil basin]

If you have the shiny diancie ticket remember to do this daily (if you have the mega energy as well to do so)

[weary gorge]

Whst the fuck how would i know that??

[autumn spindle]

Got a 15/14/15 Moltres here. It's still too hot to go outside where I live, so it's mostly remote raids

[grand canopy]

[woeful pulsar]

"new" stops/stops you have never spun show an extra ring around them

[weary gorge]

Oh

[woeful pulsar]

left is a new one, right is not

[sharp finch]

Vise Versa over here its way too cold rn

Tried going out the other day and my hands kind of froze

[lone scarab]

Ofc mega level 2 cool down is 5 days so can't even make progress more than one time without using energy haha

[woeful pulsar]

and they added an extra mega level that uses energy to get to initially

[glad niche]

Ooh

[autumn spindle]

Tomorrow, Shadow Lugia and Ho-Oh, though there's a problem with both being further away than before as I saw on Twitter posts

[sharp finch]

Tada!

[grand canopy]

getting claydol as the encounter looks so wrong

[kindred musk]

are they boosted?

[sharp finch]

yep

[kindred musk]

heck yeah

[loud gull]

Gonna be walking around town collecting tasks

[fossil basin]

its raining outside i cant D:

[weary gorge]

Must suck for a lot of people from NYC that the tour happens during a snowstorm

[restive turtle]

IT FINALLY FUCKING HAPPENED

[kindred musk]

Can they only have backgrounds from raids or can research have them too?

[restive turtle]

oh and I got these too

[weary gorge]

Goddamn-

[restive turtle]

I still have like 25 more gimmighouls on my alt to trade should I trade them all to myself for a possible second hundo or transfer

[kindred musk]

Did any of them have backgrounds?

[restive turtle]

neither had backgrounds, but my main got a background non-shiny moltres from the same raid

[kindred musk]

Oh

Are they rare cause I got these my first two raids

usually the backgrounds are a pain to get

[restive turtle]

they're like a 10% chance i think

i could be way wrong tho,

[kindred musk]

so I got really lucky

can the pikachus have any of the backgrounds? Cause they don’t have a certain team theme

Like all the birds

[restive turtle]

pikachus can have any background yeah

[kindred musk]

only from raids right?

[restive turtle]

yea

[grand canopy]

not too bad for a duo without gems

[charred rapids]

Do these pokemon in raids have increased catch rates for this event

[fervent pewter]

with the pass bonus, ye

[charred rapids]

Which pass?

[loud gull]

Yea I noticed I been able to catch the legendaries easily

[fervent pewter]

i think even the free one has a bonus for it

[glad niche]

Story of my life this game. Did a pikachu raid to get rhe research done. Has a background. Checks IVs. 10 10 10

[grand canopy]

yes

[autumn spindle]

Well. I may try raiding the few ones today

[fervent pewter]

i need 100 ho-oh xl so hoping i can finish that

[woeful pulsar]

big

[grand canopy]

what?? 😭 i neednumbers!!

[solid urchin]

Holy shit

Shiny shadow legendary from Giovanni and stuff

Also any tips on how a free player like me can get shiny costume Pikachu easily

[woeful pulsar]

hunt for the research tasks that give tyhe costumes

[cold saffron]

incense also gives the costumes

I'm really looking forward to next season, all the stuff they announced sounds cool

[sharp finch]

Haven't looked into it

[sharp finch]

I agree with the incenses, they give the Pikachu frequently

That's how I got my shiny

Hey does anyone wanna help me with a dynamax chansey

Oh my bad wrong chat

[charred rapids]

How much mega energy do you get per raid for groundon and kyogre

Are you capped or can you stock pile

[restive turtle]

100 if you defeat within 30 seconds, otherwise 70-80

[restive turtle]

oh but a background is too much to ask for

[long delta]

woowiieieee

i really would like a shiny shadow lugia

[kindred musk]

can the shadow ho-oh and shadow lugia raids have backgrounds or no?

[kindred musk]

so they can have backgrounds?

[autumn spindle]

Haven't got any of those backgrounds for the Legendaries yet. Just got one for a Pikachu

[kindred musk]

hmmm

[autumn spindle]

I feel tired about this Road to Kalos anyway

[kindred musk]

i wanna know if i can get backgrounds so if they worth to raid or not

[kindred musk]

[glad niche]

50!!!!

[autumn spindle]

Tomorrow, with the raids having Dialga, Palkia and their origin formes (with that chance of knowing their signature move) may not be too exciting

[restive turtle]

candy

i put my shiny Metagross in a gym by a bar last night and realized now that it was the one I'm trying to raise mega level for

[grand canopy]

do i risk the lucky mirror trade or not? the 10def annoys me

[fervent pewter]

im of the opinion that post bottle caps you might as well flip anything lol

worst case, bottlecap 😂

[weary gorge]

So many raids and not even shiny or bg 😭

[grand canopy]

tomorrow palkia-o

[grand canopy]

fair enough

[kindred musk]

So cute

[grand canopy]

i think i did 1 pikachu raid so far

and that'll be the only one for the rest of the event

[autumn spindle]

Before the weekend, time to try hatch all those eggs and try not to spin the Pokestops so we can try get those 10 km Eggs that may hatch Hawluchas or Klefkis for the Kalos tour

[kindred musk]

I did like 3 or 4 I think I got 2 backgrounds

[kindred musk]

I love that emote

I saw one costume pikachu in the wild so far

They’re so rare

[grand canopy]

really?

they spawn A LOT from the regular incense

like 80% of incense spawns is just the current pika costume

is great for shiny hunting since event pika is 1/64 i believe

and great for the pika fan medal

[kindred musk]

well i went out after 9 Monday and they don’t spawn after 8 I think yesterday I didn’t get
To go out today hopefully I’ll get some when I go out I only used the daily incense so far today

I got this but it ran ofc

Ima use an incense when I head to work

[grand canopy]

i havent used my daily incense the last few days but multiple regular incense

[kindred musk]

lol

[grand canopy]

yeah i prefer the pika over those birds

[kindred musk]

hopefully I get at least one shiny pika this event

[grand canopy]

i got 3 yesterday

[kindred musk]

Cute

All females Lel

the heart tail is way cuter than the flat one

Gotta collect em all

Bro I had like 0 like 2 months ago

Well ya

[kindred musk]

bro i only have 10 days to use a lucky trinket? the hell is that

[unborn garden]

Yeah lucky trinkets have very limited times

You got any locals you can use it on?

[kindred musk]

i can use it on my brother lol

he don't play pogo anymore but i think he has some things

first time ever owning a lucky trinkey i only bought the premium for the hoopa lol

i only ever traded with my brother a few times

that was years ago

[grand canopy]

we have a pogo news channel???

[grand canopy]

no move no background 😭

[unborn garden]

[grand canopy]

but

[unborn garden]

Oooooo move?

[grand canopy]

[unborn garden]

Yoooo!

[grand canopy]

WHERES THE MOVE

THE MOOOOOVE

[weary gorge]

I have 3 of those

I literally have 3 shinies from the 50 raids i did since the origin pokemon exists

And no move

[grand canopy]

[weary gorge]

Ouch

[autumn spindle]

Yeah, this is a letdown when they don't have the move

[unborn garden]

At this point we should be able to elite tm them or they should have the move guaranteed when caught

We've had them so many times Im kinda sick of them

[grand canopy]

kinda crazy they had their debut almost exactly 2 years ago and we had them in raids like every other month

at least feels like we had them a lot

[strange bough]

That sounds like it's against TOS.

[unborn garden]

We dont do that here or discuss about it

[frank cloud]

Sorry didn’t know

[unborn garden]

Try looking on campfire for locals or even make an alt to do the trade

All g I would suggest deleting that message tho

[frank cloud]

Okay thanks

[autumn spindle]

Tomorrow's raids may be a bit better. Reshiram and Zekrom with their Fusion moves hit hard, while fused Kyurem is a top Ice attacker, though you'd need 1k of each fusion energy for it

[lone scarab]

Not like it's ideal but you can remote trade now, unfortunately it does take fucking ages to trigger with friends haha

[lone scarab]

TiL the dex doesn't show moves like secret sword for keldeo or roar of time for dialga even on their forms

tho it does show dragon ascent cuz why not

[weary gorge]

You still need the meteorite

[lone scarab]

Yeah

So it's not all special moves that are omitted

just maybe form-locked ones? Idk, cba to investigate

[weary gorge]

It's just seriously dumb they don't let people use a TM for the exclusive moves

At least for today brother

[grand canopy]

i did too many raids today

[glad niche]

How many?

[grand canopy]

lets goooo

[grand canopy]

right now 52 today, 41 on my account + 11 on my moms account

you know i just noticed

i have a TON of palkia candy 😭

[grand canopy]

this is my acc, ^ is my moms

[slim stream]

How do guys Get so many raid passes?

[grand canopy]

saving your daily coins for the big events (go tour, go fest, wild area) helps but yeah, buying coins

[slim stream]

Ait, was just wondering if there is something else I could do, but guess not 🤷🏽‍♂️

[woeful pulsar]

save to ~5.5k coins and pray for the 99 pass bundle

[slim stream]

Anyone here able to join my Dialga Origin raid so I can get one? Need a a few people, as I don’t have very strong Pokémon yet 🙃

[glad niche]

Yeah. You can end up with over 15k like me

[fervent pewter]

send support tickets for your gbl matches

[lone scarab]

Was walking around the store, left my game in my pocket, opened it back up after and it's like "do ya wanna throw your masterball at this ralts?"

Harrrrrrd no thanks

[grand canopy]

going for a good palkia today?

[restive turtle]

soon

[gaunt horizon]

I want this jacket in real life

[weary gorge]

How-

[weary gorge]

So you're telling me

Out of 50+ times i've hunted a Origin Palkia with Spacial Rend

All i needed was one more to get it

And the next raid i got one with the move, better IVs than the last one and bg

[sharp finch]

Completed my pass and only got one 3 star pokemon

That being the lucario

[weary gorge]

Forgot to upload the good Palkia i got

[restive turtle]

no bg or Roar

[ocean orbit]

Does anyone know what form is first for raid hour

[kindred musk]

I was able to do a pikachu raid at a red light that’s how long it took for it to turn green

I did another one no background or shiny

[autumn spindle]

So PvP got updated and feels quite sluggish there

[fervent pewter]

nah i cant really do raids in person these days unless i commit to the pokegenie queues

ski all day during prime raid hours and get home like 8pm sadge

[weary gorge]

Hope you can for the tour

Cuz so far i've heard it's a very bad idea to do remote

Unless they fixed that already

[kindred musk]

Another 1 away from nundo I got one yesterday too

[trail cloak]

💯

[hollow sinew]

Galarian Zapdos jumpscare

My GO++ caught it apparently and I didn't notice until the night

First Galarian bird

It kinda sucks

[unborn garden]

Go++ zapdos is pretty insane aha

[kindred musk]

i actually got the 0 percent lel

[kindred musk]

i'd say it's better than throwing your own pokeball at it since it's a 50/50 chance for any pokemon to catch

easy life hack for galarian birds

[solid urchin]

This was probably my luckiest event yet

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

yooo i got the matching kyogre

[kindred musk]

mine too i got a hundo unown and a nundo costume pika

no background shinies or anything i did 5 in person and spent 40 bucks on remote passes not even a shiny lol

[solid urchin]

Nice

[kindred musk]

shiny cyndaquil is so cute tho

my first ever cyndaquil i clicked on was shiny lol

i was in school playing pogo on my off period

I hope they’re not too rare

[weary gorge]

Finally obtained enough black energy!!!

No shinies but i got some bgs

No need them anyway, got two shiny Kyurems in the Unova Tour

[slim stream]

I have a question. I got a lucky Trinket, but what do I do with that?

[grand canopy]

you use it on a person in your friendlist (at least 7d friendship hearts) to become lucky friends lucky friends means that your next trade with that person will guaranteed be lucky

lucky pokemon have an IV floor of 12/12/12, are cheaper to power up and have the golden "background"

lucky "background"

Watch me now pull an amazing zyguard after using my 50 cells on a garbage one

[grand canopy]

tomorrow is the big event

[restive turtle]

this screenshot is other pokemon that won't appear in the wild (they don't normally)

[fervent pewter]

ye exactly

so that means everything not on that list....

[slim stream]

So basically, I lose this one since I have no one to trade with? Anyone here want to trade with me??

[fervent pewter]

theres some bonkers things not on that list 😂

[restive turtle]

trading is local only until you reach forever friends (takes minimum 6 months)

[cerulean steppe]

No one here can trade with you. Since you cant trade abroad

[grand canopy]

you can only trade with someone close to you or via remote trades as forever friends sadly

you wont lose the lucky friend status tho so worst case you can use it on someone now and then trade with them whenever you become forever friends

[restive turtle]

you could go to a community ambassador meetup near you if there's any this weekend and add people

[slim stream]

Ahh, ok. Thanks guys! Will see what I can do then 😂

[grand canopy]

0/24 shiny kyurem today

my luck really stinks

[unborn garden]

If youre getting close to forever friends with someone use it on them, the lucky friends status will never time out, and you might as well just use it on someone before it times out

[slim stream]

I have not unfortunately.. started playing again recently, so I don’t have any friends in this game..

[unborn garden]

Ah hmm Id suggest adding someone maybe here? Getting friendship up 7 days then using it on them

Or checking campfire for locals

Because if you dont use it within the time limit you just get some startdust

[autumn spindle]

I already have a 15/13/15 Yveltal, though I may not be sure if I'm going for the X or Y side of the GO Tour tomorrow

[slim stream]

Does it not need to be local to do the trade tho?

[unborn garden]

Once you get forever friends (180 days of interacting) you unlock a remote trade with that person ans tben every 90 friendship points after you get another

Better to use it and wait for your remote then to lose it

[slim stream]

I guess, you want to be friends? 😂

[unborn garden]

If you want haha

----- is my friend code Ill delete it after you add me, make sure to send/open a gift each day so you can use the trinket in time

[slim stream]

I will! Adding you now!

[unborn garden]

Sweet!

[restive turtle]

I've done 104 Kyurem raids on my main and have not gotten a shiny

[weary gorge]

Hopefully the Hawlucha spawn will be huge tomorrow

I need as many fightning types as i can to progress my keldeo investigation

[lucid frigate]

Hawlucha is egg only unfortunately

Id hard focus pancham since that seems to be the only fighting type in the wild

[weary gorge]

Well fuck

[autumn spindle]

Already got all the eggs hatched here, so I'm waiting for tomorrow 10 AM to spin the Poke Stops and get some new eggs

[restive turtle]

my friend ended up being 15 energy short of a Kyurem fusion with nothing he could do about it because raids didn't refresh at 8:30pm

[uncut maple]

So I heard that the pokemon go tour kalos thing will have shiny diancie, problem is that I don't play pogo very much. Would anyone be able to explain to me how this'll work and if I'd be able to get diancie?

[unborn garden]

So the ticket will give you a pretty easy research with tasks you can do on the day

And after that you get the diancie masterwork

It has no time limit, it will be tricky, but you can work on it over time

[uncut maple]

So if I get the ticket I can take my time? That'd be nice since I work weekends, so being able to do it monday, tuesday, wednesday would be very cool

[unborn garden]

Yeah, but you have to complete the go tour research to get it

And you might have to do that by Monday to get it

[uncut maple]

I see, i'm not sure how much I follow, but I have heard that I could get Xerneas or Yveltal through it too, which I'm considering Xerneas since my account is still pretty much baby mode

[unborn garden]

Yeah the research gives a background xerneas or yveltal

Basically when you get the ticket, during the weekend you get a research once you complete it you get your masterwork

[uncut maple]

Yeah my strongest mon is a combat power 1464 Jynx and my only mega is a Venusaur with 1138

[unborn garden]

It does require you to beat a mega and 5* raid

So if you can remote those or join a group doing it

[uncut maple]

Is there a way I can set up a remote raid group with a password or something

Idk if anyone locally still plays pogo

[unborn garden]

I use an app called "raid party" to host raids

[uncut maple]

I see, it's a little late for me now but I may have to consider coming in here at some point over tomorrow or sunday and ask for help on the tour so I can get my shiny princess

[unborn garden]

Basically you choose which boss youre doing, host it, people will join the room and add you and once everyone has added you you just need to invite them to the raid

[uncut maple]

I see

[unborn garden]

Its really easy

[uncut maple]

Is it like, a third party app

[unborn garden]

Yeah

[uncut maple]

I get kind of anxious about downloading stuff like that lol

[unborn garden]

Not against tos tho

[uncut maple]

I see

[unborn garden]

Fair I've been using it for about a year I think

[uncut maple]

I suppose it's worth trying, i'm just worried about data harvesting

I'm that kind of paranoid lol

[unborn garden]

People also like using poke genie

Haha well its up to you ^^

[uncut maple]

Whatever gets me shiny diancie is worth the risk, fabricated or not

I already spent my entire time in the main story of za anticipating that game's encounter with a regular diancie, this is kinda like that but bigger time crunch and much more precious to me

I'm gonna get the ticket

[unborn garden]

Sweet, youve got this!

[uncut maple]

I have no idea what i'm doing or what i'm looking for

Is this it?

[unborn garden]

Its in the store, it shows a diancie

[uncut maple]

I got the ticket with diancie on it, are the tasks just not live yet?

[unborn garden]

They are live on tbe weekend

At 10am

[uncut maple]

10 which time zone?

[unborn garden]

Thats when big events start

Yours, local time

[uncut maple]

Ah

[unborn garden]

Ive already completed my day 1

[uncut maple]

I see, okay, I can't tell if it's thoughtful of them to do it like that or not lol

At least I can sleep idk

[unborn garden]

All events are based off your local time

[uncut maple]

I see, then i'll let my phone rest lol

I just got a Snorlax encounter from a seperate research that's now my fifth strongest mon lol

[grand canopy]

2/4 for shiny xerneas today

[unborn garden]

Insane

Bg?

[grand canopy]

nope

[unborn garden]

Damn

I did 60 total and 1 shiny

[grand canopy]

are the megas still 1/64?

[unborn garden]

I think they're boosted for the days

[grand canopy]

ooh thats nice then

[unborn garden]

I saw a good amount of people getting thr dragonite

[grand canopy]

i did one tonight for the energy, prob wont do another unless its my raid to host

ive seen a lot of people complaining online about the 10 mega requirement
