Wiggy

[worn umbra]

What

Is it still locked outside of events?

Makes sense ig since its treated like meltan

[woeful pulsar]

correct

that reminds me, i think meltan coming back in a couple of weeks

[fervent pewter]

that was a demon level

[woeful pulsar]

75 eggs for the next one that's where i am now

[fervent pewter]

yea

tragedy tbh but i might buy a rocker lol

[lucid frigate]

I also just got to 74 and gonna hatch as much as i can during riolu hatch day

The daily egg also helps

[fervent pewter]

im at 9x 10k eggs rn 😭

[autumn spindle]

Riolu hatch day is coming in the next 2 days, so better get ready

[green carbon]

Any of you know the best stardust boosted nests atm?

[worn umbra]

[woeful pulsar]

been abusing the hell out of mine

[lone scarab]

I think combees in this season which is decent, tho their catch rate always seems awful lol

Really depends what's in your area tho

[fervent pewter]

i used to have one maybe 3-4 yrs ago now that my cat broke, never replaced it

he so inconsiderate

[grand canopy]

what is THIS

[woeful pulsar]

yeahhh new UI rolling out

[proper orchid]

[south hound]

Subtle shiny moment

[loud gull]

using these couple days to clear out my egg inventory for riolu day

[south hound]

Man this really is oops all castform & gossifleur

[glad niche]

Wtf

[south hound]

GUISE WHAT DO I EVO IT INTO

[mellow marten]

Flareon ❤️‍🩹

[south hound]

I actually have a shiny Flareon funny enough - not a shundo but still a team MVP

I have a good vaporeon and jolteon as well

[loud gull]

I think umbreon for pvp

[loud gull]

I see that the riolu hatch day will have half hatch distance but if I unlocked the same thing in my rank does that stack or still give the same effect?

[worn umbra]

effects never stack

[loud gull]

dang so it will still only be half walking distance

[worn umbra]

(yes there are a few excemptions) but 2 effects of the same type will take the "better one", if you have 3x catch candy and 2x catch candy it will choose 3x catch candy

yes, you can attend a CA meeting to cut it down a bit more i think since they have some special thing about hatching eggs when in a team

[south hound]

I got my 9 green eggs for tomorrow

[loud gull]

I wish you luck, I'm almost done emptying my egg inventory so I can get the eggs during the event

[autumn spindle]

All eggs hatched here. I'm ready for this too

[south hound]

wait we need to have green eggs already or an empty egg inventory

[loud gull]

empty egg inventory, any eggs you have now will only give you what your egg says

[south hound]

Shit

Well time to do some travel

[south hound]

Egg inventory is clear

[delicate ember]

Did about 50-60 hatches. Two 96% shinies with 15 attack. Pretty happy with results

[restive turtle]

I'm skipping because sick and ear infection

:(

[weary gorge]

Ouch :(

[delicate ember]

Sorry to hear that, hope u recover soon ❤️

[loud gull]

I think it stacked, I'm doing .5 km eggs.

[worn umbra]

did you buy the ticket?

the ticket has 1/4 distance, the effects do not stack

[south hound]

Best I got so far

[loud gull]

oh yea I got the pass, that is pretty good

[south hound]

I may have been walking too much

[kindred musk]

Why do I exist

[south hound]

I feel your pain, I've tried to find a hundo but absolutely no luck

[restive turtle]

a few years ago I decided one day I wanted to try and get a hundo gimmighoul, then I got a nundo the same day

[south hound]

feels like my hundo male combee

a cosmic joke

[autumn spindle]

Pretty much, Silicobra's debut was poorly handled this week

[south hound]

I'm kind of... ready for the event to be over tbh. I am tired of seeing castforms lol

[autumn spindle]

Anyway, Dynamax Regirock is on the way, along with the Gmax Kanto starters and Gmax Gengar next

[dull flame]

is shiny toedscool real? does it exist? am i going batshit insane?

i swear it is. the guy just hates me

[trail cloak]

It's 1/500 and you'd have to get kinda lucky with habitats

[south hound]

the milky boy is real

for as many gossifluer's I've touched the fact I haven't seen a shiny one is absurd

[dull flame]

im in a place where a shit ton spawn (thank gid) so im like. going bonkers

[dull flame]

hes so goofy i need him. i will get him. one day. someday.

i got wooloo so surely. surely this chud fungus will come to me too

[dull flame]

they nerfed us though they took away our silicobras LOL

[trail cloak]

Not too absurd since it's one in not released yet

[south hound]

OH. well that explains it. Wtf man

[humble wagon]

Is it worth to do even one raid of the tapus if i am not missing them?

[worn umbra]

They have had some meta relevance in the past but are not good atm

pve wise they are trash, for ML they are trash as well but that could always change with a moveset update

[autumn spindle]

That was tough

[autumn spindle]

Tapu Fini may be still good, though Primarina may be ranked higher now

[worn umbra]

the lack of a fairy fast move and base stats makes tapu fini extremely bad

and both of them having losing scenarios into the dragons you try to rps with them is

[south hound]

Yeah he cooked my ass

Also how tf do I bulk up on premier balls, I lost a Groudon because I ran out

[worn umbra]

you get a limited amount of premier balls to catch the raid boss

you cant collect them beforehand

[south hound]

Ohhhhh

[worn umbra]

how many you get is determined by a lot of things, like how many friends you had in the lobby, how much damage you did, how fast you beat the boss and wether the gym is owned by your team

[south hound]

I see. I usually struggle with higher level raids because u have to watch for ones.nearby that look like ppl will actually show up to

[worn umbra]

yeah its tough for newer players, but the the curve is exponential

once you have a few of the good pokemon you are quickly able to 2 man most, and solo some

[trail cloak]

Raiding with a BF is the big one for extra balls

[south hound]

I have been religiously sending gifts daily

[trail cloak]

+1 for Great, +2 for Ultra, +4 for Best Friend

More friends don't give more balls, so just try to join a Best Friend's raid

+4 is a significant increase in catch rate overall

[worn umbra]

yep, oops

for mega raids the bonus balls for speed are mega energy instead

[south hound]

It will be a hot minute before I've ranked up enough for best friends

[trail cloak]

If you've got any reliable ones, you can get +7 friendship points by doing the weekly challenge with them

(basically going at twice the speed)

[south hound]

Oohh

[trail cloak]

Otherwise, just try to make sure each ball counts. Better to hit 10 Greats than 5 Excellents

[south hound]

I see. I don't want to get an auto catcher so hopefully my coordination improves

[worn umbra]

Those don't work on raid bosses and they only throw regular throws, so the worst catch cance possible

[south hound]

Ohhh. Well I feel better haha

People were using them at the last meet up i went to

And had multiple phones

[worn umbra]

Theres some neat tricks to basically ""guarantee"" the excellent throw for raid bosses, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GgQRUbmKM38

[south hound]

Excellent, thank you!

[south hound]

Is it me or is it suddenly easier to catch stuff

[dull flame]

mostly rng

sometimes i catch pokes insanely easy. other times the little shits dont ever stop moving and refuse to stay in the ball

this one time i threw Only Excellents and the poke still fled LOL

[odd glade]

I worked 1 month for this..??

[worn umbra]

[trail cloak]

A month of work and 3 months of time gating

[odd glade]

Same story for all my shiny mythicals
At least golden cap exist

[sharp finch]

Worked a year for this shit

Oh how much I've wanted to transfer it for being that terrible

[worn umbra]

Not that bad honestly, 1485 for GL is better than most of my mythicals

[sharp finch]

Yeah, its worse than my regular mew

[worn umbra]

does it change any matchups tho

[glad niche]

Ive also joked that if I got a 10 10 10 shiny mythical id bin it

[sharp finch]

Who said I was joking

I should probably just put it in home

[weary gorge]

Only 16 super effective charged moves more to finally go with the next page of the shiny keldeo research

[glad niche]

Hope yall Americans are ready to spend independence day doing community day

[sharp finch]

Nothing like celebrating independence by catching creatures from a fictional franchise

[weary gorge]

Ahem US citizens*

[gaunt horizon]

What's a bigger flex, 4 star Heatran or shiny Deoxys?

The Deoxys is a 3 star

[sharp finch]

Heatran

Shiny is 1/20

4* is 1/128 I believe

1/216*

[topaz gust]

I hate that regirock

[sharp finch]

At least it wasn't 1784

[south hound]

I can barely put a dent in him

[trail cloak]

Have you tried using paper?

[topaz gust]

Yeah

[autumn spindle]

Just got this from a grunt today

[south hound]

Love the shoreline

[frigid trench]

For a team with two thicc mons is noir better than ops

Shadow versions

[restive turtle]

are dynamax legendaries still 1/20 shiny odds or am i wasting my time

[cold saffron]

Walked 20km today and Adventure sync didn‘t even register half of them

[worn umbra]

rip

[lucid frigate]

They’re two very different playstyles, it all depends what it’s teammates are

[worn umbra]

should be, i dont think they changed that

[south hound]

I got another hundo eevee

Trying to figure out the evo

[restive turtle]

sylveon

[autumn spindle]

Time to go for the returning Gmax Pokemon coming out

[solid urchin]

I hit the jack pot

[worn umbra]

whats that grey circle on the bottom right

[sharp finch]

Could be a joystick, could be something for recording software idk

Could be either because he made the mistake of golden razzing a shiny

[south hound]

Mistake?

[sharp finch]

Shiny pokemon from raids are a guaranteed catch

[south hound]

Oohhh

Did not know that

[weary gorge]

It a record thing that iphones have

[sharp finch]

I've never used anything by apple, so that explains it

[lucid frigate]

Im so washed at pvp ive been stuck in veteran elo for the past month

Although for some reason i ran into SO many fearows out of nowhere

[south hound]

no shiny or hundo, got 2 gengars, a charzard, and a blastoise. Ran outta particles and didn't feel like paying

[worn umbra]

💯 gmax gengar is the futureproof best ghost type attacker for dmax

[south hound]

Thank you, that's good to hear. They're both 3 stars too (Blastoise ended up being a 2 star)

[crisp relic]

noteythedirtwizard has given 1 Gen Rep to chaosxyz

[worn umbra]

Out of the so far released options, Intelleon, Gengar and Eternatus are the only true future proof ones iirc

for their type

oh and Zacian too i think

[autumn spindle]

Got 3 Gmax Gengar and a Gmax Venusaur here, with one of the Gengars having max attack IVs

[south hound]

Nice!

[loud gull]

Glad I got some dmax regirocks, didn't know it is a good tank against gmax charizard

[autumn spindle]

Dmax Registeel will be coming soon, by the way

[south hound]

ohhhh I should get a regirock, I just, I don't think my pokemon are up to snuff for it yet

[loud gull]

Yea I was thinking that it will be a great use

[worn umbra]

Regirock is interesting as a tank because it covers the typings that zamazenta struggles against (a maxed blissey / lugia is still better most of the times), registeel is going to be immediately outclassed on release by zamazenta

[solid urchin]

I kinda panicked

Like I always told myself to use pinap berries since shinies are guaranteed catch but when I saw the shiny I panicked and accidentally pressed razzberry

Also the grey joystick thing is like something to presss if you have sweaty hands

And can also be used it your iPhone is malfunctioning with the side button that turns of silent mode

[weary quiver]

Is zarude included in the trade ban here? Pretty sure it was paid correct?

[worn umbra]

its a mythical so it cant be transferred or traded (the mythicals that have been released via raids can be transferred, but not traded)

it was in a paid research first and then released for free later iirc

[weary quiver]

dang that sucks

[lucid frigate]

I think it was the other way around, free first then paid

[trail cloak]

[restive turtle]

SOMEONE INVITED ME AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE

[south hound]

fuuuuck that's lucky as hell

I was gonna use pokegenie for regirock raids but it's lvl 50+ and I'm 43

[restive turtle]

they want you to be lvl 50+ because by then you're more likely to have powered up your pokemon more

[south hound]

I mean, that's fair, it's just unfortunate timing for me lol

[restive turtle]

as long as you bring lvl 40+ correct counters you should be fine

you can also use raid party for such things

you don't need to wait in a queue to host/join, lobbies will just pop up and you can join whichever you want

that being said you need premium to join within the first 10 seconds so if it's a really high demand raid like celesteela for example you're probably not getting in one unless you cough up a couple bucks but that doesn't happen super often

[south hound]

I see. I think I gotta focus on powerleveling some stuff more. Having gmax blastoise and venasuar helps. fuckign stardust man lol

[restive turtle]

lvl 40+ Blastoise with lvl 3 cannonade would be your best attacker probably

gmax Inteleon is better but that hasn't been around since uhhh last august I think?

Blissey/Zacian/Zamazenta as a tank

[south hound]

Yeah, I def got more grinding to do. The bottleneck swinging between stardust and candies is real

[restive turtle]

how powered up are your mons

I'm not opposed to going out and helping you snag a regirock or two if you have particles and remote passes to use

[unborn garden]

Make sure you have good blissey somewhat powered up with maxed out heal (if you can) blissey is amazing

[south hound]

Well, I try to save the powering up for a few that I really like. I think most of my main team is lvl 25-35 so yeah I got to grind more

[south hound]

I appreaciate the offer but I gotta work on stuff more lol don't wanna be deadweight

[unborn garden]

Always lead with your tank and only switch to your attacker when its the max phase

[restive turtle]

my alt has mons mostly powered up but doesn't have the resources to upgrade max moves yet

[worn umbra]

you're on my friendlist i think, if you want to remote stuff you can tell me

i can manage most raids by myself

[south hound]

Yiss! You do send me invites occasionally and I appreciate that, it just depends on my work hours

[restive turtle]

regirock duo is possible but absurdly difficult

[south hound]

I'm lucky enough to have a large community nearby that does community day events and we had well over 100 ppl for gmax raids yesterday

[unborn garden]

Yeahhhh Id say try with full lobby

[south hound]

so in summary; I need to grind more

[worn umbra]

its quite easy depending on moveset

[south hound]

[worn umbra]

it often has EQ+FB for me so lugia just fully walls it

[restive turtle]

yeah we just need it to not have focus blast

i have a hundo dmax Lugia that I could power up but I actually don't think I have the candy for it

[restive turtle]

stone edge+zap cannon

[worn umbra]

a lot of the solos ive seen aim for EQ and Edge

and you just switch between zamazenta for edge and lugia for EQ

zacian for damage

[restive turtle]

only got 130 Lugia candy:(

[worn umbra]

time to chug it in power spots trainer

[restive turtle]

I don't ever leave pokemon in power spots on the rare occasion I do dmax battles

unless I happen to bring an extra Chansey for some reason

[worn umbra]

lol

[south hound]

me praying for more candies as I leave all my pokemon at power spots

at least they eventually return, unlike some gyms

[worn umbra]

leaving things in power spots is such an underrated feature

shame it doesnt give XLs tho

[restive turtle]

I left a spoink in a gym at one of my work sites back in like September because I figured since a lot of people go by there every week there's gotta be at least one high schooler or sixth grader that plays pokemon go as the bus rolls in and knocks it out before their phone gets put away for the week

it was there for four and a half months

[south hound]

the gym trap is real

[worn umbra]

my record gym got cleared a while ago

was over a year, random cross in a forest

[south hound]

that pokemon was living in the woods for a year

[worn umbra]

then it came home and got instantly transferred 😔

[restive turtle]

wouldn't it be so cool if you could just call pokemon back from a gym after like 24 hours or something

[worn umbra]

not that much

it would cause people to be very hostile towards other teams being in gyms again

[south hound]

there are too many people here for gyms to stay one team for long tbh, so it's garunteed you get your coins daily

[worn umbra]

i live rural so people respect the 8h20m

and dont kick you out if they know you already got the 50 coins for the day

[south hound]

I live practically next to a gym. Just a little too far to fight in it from home and have to walk outside a little

[onyx surge]

Patiently waiting for more mega debuts

[dull flame]

i have a chundingus chud with multiple accounts taking up all 6 gyms of my local park

same accounts. no reason to be on 6 gyms at once. just for the shits

[south hound]

2 star Chansey but hey I got a dynamax one now. Time to grind candies and stardust

[versed hedge]

is there any confirmed info on the mystery box cooldown now since it’s 10am local ain’t it?

if it’s 48h, when is the best time in theory to use the box each day

[unborn garden]

Its each 24h I believe

[mellow marten]

Are the meltan shiny odds boosted? I managed to get 2 in the same mystery box 😭😭

[fervent pewter]

probably

[fervent pewter]

mega mewtwo yayyy

[worn umbra]

giving it counter instead of aura sphere

[lavish finch]

they're making the upgrade version of go fest global free for everyone this time around apparently

so free zeraora 🎉

[worn umbra]

there will probably still be a pass tho right? i need that golden bottlecap

[sharp finch]

I swear if I go another meltan event without a shiny ima uninstall

[glad niche]

Odds say 1/125

[lost quartz]

Anyone solo the 3 star Orthoworm?

[autumn spindle]

Yeah, Orthworm can be done solo

[kindred musk]

yeah

[lone scarab]

Weak to primal groudon = rip

[restive turtle]

clicked on a meltan and my autocatcher locked on while the encounter was loading and it ran

[weary gorge]

Ouch-

[lone scarab]

Forgot to mention but was out on saturday and found kecleons on adjacent stops

considering I was stuck on catching 10 kecleons for like 2y, caught me off guard lol

[fossil basin]

I didn’t notice i lvled up. (The level up screen never showed up)

[glad niche]

Im sorry

[sharp finch]

Im partially not, still salty over my issue

Otherwise he can get another

1/125 pretty easy to roll

[south hound]

mega banette why you so cool looking

[keen nimbus]

I need help getting the original 151. I only have like 15 to go 🥲

[grave bramble]

What do you need?

[lone scarab]

Unless ya have months to spare getting to remote friends, gonna be real hard for people to help with dex

[worn umbra]

id imagine the kanto dex atleast will be finisheable during the go tour / anniversary

i wouldnt be that surprised to see the shiny mew research return aswell

[kindred musk]

You can put shadow Pokémon in gyms now?

[worn umbra]

when were you not able to that?

[trail cloak]

2016

[kindred musk]

I don’t ever remember being able to put a shadow or see a shadow Pokémon in gyms

idk how I never noticed before omg

[sharp finch]

Idk why this is really funny to me

[weary gorge]

[restive turtle]

had a shadow Entei run yesterday while I had 15 balls left

was hesitant to open a support ticket because the last like three times some bullshit happened I didn't even get a response

they actually gave me back my pass this time

[worn umbra]

were you moving too fast?

[restive turtle]

if the game decided to start counting the rotation of the earth then yeah maybe

otherwise I was just standing

it wasn't even a good Entei

[south hound]

Entei could sense I wasn't a huge fan and ran most of the time. I got one shiny shadow so I'm calling that good enough

[unborn garden]

Check your storage? Was it there? Ive had that happen with pokemon before and they're there

[autumn spindle]

Kind of sucks how we're now forced to get the Super Rocket Radar in the battlepass

[unborn garden]

Its good and bad

Good because its easier to stack them

Bad because you have to grind out the whole pass for it

[autumn spindle]

I forgot if the next Rocket Takeover does overwrite the current shadow legendary

[unborn garden]

Each takeover event Giovanni will have a new legend

This is the last of the genies I believe

He may have one of the swords or tao trio next if previous patterns are continuing

[autumn spindle]

I mean if you were saving the radar you get and wait for the next takeover

[unborn garden]

Then youll just have another radar

[lone scarab]

yeah, the timegates annoying, but its pretty easy to grind on the last day at least when everything's double value

Thankfully its nice weather here atm, but i do think during wintertime that'll probably make me miss gio in the future, can't reliably walk in snowstorms lol

[restive turtle]

[glad niche]

What in the world

[charred parcel]

jesus christ why have berries in gyms not been nerfed yet?

don't need the guy with a l50 ultra friend blissey keeping his shitstain alive for an hour of non-stop attack after being in the gym for 11 hours straight

[sharp finch]

Because it can kinda be funny to pester people with golden razz

I mean there could be a minor nerf at some point, but nothing major otherwise it could ruin the gym system in large population areas

[weary gorge]

What nerf can they do anyway?

Is already limited to 10 berries per pokemon daily

[worn umbra]

no lol

[weary gorge]

Yes it is

[worn umbra]

no its not

[weary gorge]

Yes it is

[worn umbra]

xdd

its more likey hourly, not daily

[dusky garden]

[south hound]

Im crying for you bruv

[lone scarab]

it's only 30min lol

[worn umbra]

Im still 6k off the medal

[autumn spindle]

Who knows how this GO Fest will go, because everyone wants to have that Mega Mewtwo energy

[unborn garden]

It looks like its going to be good, first free go fest with all the bonuses and the variety of different pokemon should be good as well

[autumn spindle]

Better try stock up on those coins for Remote Raid passes and see what happens

[glad niche]

Its per hour

[glad niche]

Im so sorry

[glad niche]

Platinum?

[worn umbra]

yes

[glad niche]

I got that

[worn umbra]

i never bothered to feed berries until lv80 needed 50 medals

[south hound]

Anyone else suddenly getting a drop in how often they get gifts from pokestops? I had a stack of 45 last week and now it seems to refuse to go over 25 now

[pliant prawn]

Anyone going to go fest Chicago

[sharp finch]

Possibly

[pliant prawn]

Well it’s kinda late to get a park pass if you haven’t decide lol

[sharp finch]

All days sold out?

Kinda stupid that they can even sell put when I see how much open space there has been in past events in the park

[fervent pewter]

it's likely just planning for permits and stuff

[pliant prawn]

I mean you’d have to check, I don’t think Chicago releases anymore tickets. They sold out pretty tasty

[fervent pewter]

i wish they could enforce ppl mutli accounting in friends who arent there

[worn umbra]

the go pass ended

[south hound]

ohhh

[worn umbra]

gotta grind to get to the gift perk again every month

[south hound]

fucking hell

im tired of grinding boss
-# keeps playing

[lone scarab]

this was April's tour pass milestone 1

might be responsible for some of that

is also gifts for may but might not be that deep yet

[south hound]

you can tell I don't look at these things

[keen nimbus]

Can someone help me complete the Kanto dex?

[lone scarab]

unless ya wanna wait a few months to build up best friends + remote friends, nobodys gonna really be able to help out

[charred parcel]

so like

who the fuck said there was a berry limit?

ive killed the togekiss and forced the guy to berry it like 15-20 times in the past hour

he's still healing it.

ive probably killed him 10+ times in the past half hour alone

[worn umbra]

there is, resets every 30m tho

im not sure wether that limit ticks for every berry individually or if it starts once you hit 10

[charred parcel]

yeah mate that's bullshit

ive stood here

attacking him nonstop at around 1.5 mins maximum PER BERRY

and he's still healing it

either your information is outdated or you're straight up wrong

[worn umbra]

try feeding 11 berries to a mon you have in a gym then

[charred parcel]

im not wasting my berries on that

[worn umbra]

[charred parcel]

i just forced someone else to test the theory for me

and clearly that's not how it fucking works

[worn umbra]

[charred parcel]

if you dont have anything to prove your point then piss off

go find the patch notes for this or something

[worn umbra]

Chills

[charred parcel]

i dont speak german can you translate that?

[worn umbra]

top right you see 10 berries have been fed
mid screen says the pokemon is happy (so it cant be fed berries anymore)

and to try feeding a different pokemon

[charred parcel]

he's multiaccounting for sure

[lone scarab]

if that's the case they'd probably have more mons in the gym lol

get good i guess

[autumn spindle]

Lechonk Community Day coming up

[south hound]

I caught a pink piggy with a special BG, I am satisfied

also remember that incense are boosted during a window to 3hrs

[autumn spindle]

So now I realized how taking charged attacks could let you do more damage, besides moving quickly through the menu to heal the attacker

[weary gorge]

Damn we doxxing pokemon go users now lmao

Bro why are you making such a storm with a cup of water, just go to another gym

And be realistic, gyms in main cities with obvious active player are always gonna have people like that guy

[charred parcel]

lol js went to another gym and found another multi accounter

wonderful experience seeing someone try to revive his garchomp every 30 secs or so

why that berry limit isn't pokemon-based is a mystery to me

[charred parcel]

because i'm complaining about a fundamental game imbalance?

are we perhaps not allowed to talk about that now?

ah yes pokemon go, game famously lacking in any flaws whatsoever, god save niantic!

[worn umbra]

(It is)

[unborn garden]

At that point just go for a different gym

i mean like "every pokemon can only be fed a max of 10 berries an hour"

irregardless of whos feeding it

[charred parcel]

i did lol

i got 9 gyms

they're all either guarded by dipshits like this or my own team

[weary gorge]

Brother we are not the dev team to hear you complaining about it for 3 days

Skill issue, simply as that

[south hound]

I love the different background environments we can find

[restive turtle]

I'm at a dairy queen right now and I saw this pokestop across the road and was like "oh I wanna check this out before I leave"

i go and look at it on Google maps

it's a fucking scientology building

[lone scarab]

maybe there's a booth inside, guess ya should go check it out eh

[restive turtle]

looked into it a bit more and it used to be a card shop like three years ago

[sharp finch]

They should make it a gym so you can raid it

[restive turtle]

[restive turtle]

ok bro

[south hound]

Concerning

Crying rn

[sharp finch]

Got my 9th best buddy today

[grand canopy]

[weary gorge]

Finally got a shiny Nihilego

[autumn spindle]

42 km for a costume Pikachu in the spring event? I don't think I'll get it with me, at most, walking about 25 Km a week

[south hound]

Yikes... yeah I'll pass on grinding for that lol. Not liking Pikachu has some perks

[glad niche]

Congratulations

[glad niche]

I dont even get 10km a week

Ive only hit the 25k weekly reward I think once ever

I still dont understand why they do these ridiculous events and its nowhere near a break for people

[fervent pewter]

the biggest kicker for me is how bad the KM actually tracks

if i were to bike my city loop it only registers like 1/4 of the loop in KM

so ill keep being a car player

[lone scarab]

Mines pretty good at tracking

it just usually needs to catch up once I get back home

[tawny cove]

Will a lucky trinket work with a remote trade?

[fervent pewter]

[south hound]

first articuno raid, got a shiny
wtf

wait is that not a common thing I don't see any other articuno raids

[trail cloak]

Articuno is probably the default Platinum raid? Niantic screws up "sometimes" in between raid bosses

[south hound]

I must have gotten Hella lucky then

[worn umbra]

lol

[fossil basin]

||Datamines have shown: Frigibax will have a community day next month||

[south hound]

YEAAAHHH

[unborn garden]

It makes sense ||each year the new pseudo legend shiny released during go fest gets a com day, like jangmo-o last year, Im hoping they continue this and give us shiny dreepy during go fest||

[autumn spindle]

It'll be a matter of time ||until we see how will Mega Baxcalibur live up to when it happens||

[lone scarab]

It'll probably be good, but kyurem exists so eh

[worn umbra]

i wouldnt be surprised if they made glaive rush busted enough to replace kyurem as the #1 ice attacker

[unborn garden]

Itll probably be the no1 ice mega

Probably 3rd place to the kyurems

[worn umbra]

even without glaive rush its already in 2nd place

ofc the rankings change a bit depending on what settings you use

[unborn garden]

oh damn

[lone scarab]

there ain't much competition lol

glaive rush us a dragon move so its only gonna help when its a dragon boss as an ice attacker tho

and idk if its got mega ray-esque stats to make it work neutrally like with dragon ascent

[worn umbra]

i forgot its dragon and not ice type

[autumn spindle]

Anyway. Regional Ultra Beast raids are up this week

[chrome apex]

how do I find ppl who want to do an articuno raid with me?

[lone scarab]

raiding apps are probably your best bet if you live in any remotely rural area/small urban

If you live in a decent town or city, could maybe check on Facebook or something for a local group and meet some irl frienda

Raid apps are generally more accessible, but bc of that you're probably just 1 of many hundred/thousand raids and might have to wait a while to get invitees

thankfully artis not that hard so even just a friend or two should be good to smack it tho

[lavish finch]

i don't particularly want to go for the marathon pikachu but i still think it's very funny that they're locking a new costume pokemon behind doing an actual marathon's worth of distance

[kindred musk]

What the hell

[autumn spindle]

Yeah, another Pikachu for the collection, if you really want to go for it

At least the upcoming Community Day classic with Deino will be better

[south hound]

I had my mega aerodactyl out as a buddy, saw one im the wild, caught it, turned out to be Zorua

Just a little baby

[kindred musk]

Rip gonna miss com day again and it’s on my birthday stupid work

[kindred musk]

Perfect timing I guess

You can easily max it out now if you can’t already

what’s the ivs on it?

[mellow marten]

Pretty terrible, only 0/10/3 on it iirc, but getting a shadow shiny hydreigon with the com day move would be pretty cool

I’m hoping that if I can’t get it now then I can get it in the december community day, but I’m unsure if that’ll give the move or not

[trail cloak]

December 2025 did see the return of moves that were featured in that year's Classic CDs

[lucid frigate]

December usually brings back CD classic moves but just make sure to TM off frustration before then

[weary gorge]

Bruh until now i'm realizing i missed Lechonk day 😭

I may want to take a break on PvP for a while. Capture Cup is getting difficult to get through without much luck with the catches every season

Any thoughts about the new battle system from the Preview Cup?

[lone scarab]

whats different about it i cba to play pvp

[fervent pewter]

if it was 100% functional i would say cool

but kinda just adding different problems to our already broken system

[south hound]

Should I evo or nah?

[worn umbra]

no

[worn umbra]

the game being more consistent and fixable is nice, but the visual stuttering and unresponsiveness after they talked it up to be so great is a joke

it also has a lot of random glitches like form change pokemon being able to generate / steal turns sometimes or 2 turn moves (and higher) behaving as a 1 turn move animation wise

[quiet kite]

this is a serious competitive game

[lone scarab]

Tera grass kyurem

nobody saw the multiple edits it took to figure out what mon that was

[autumn spindle]

Reminder that Deino Community Day comes up tomorrow

[lucid frigate]

Esport ready

[quiet kite]

big $$$ prizes

[fervent pewter]

the only 5* raid missing?

armored mewtwo

[worn umbra]

They removed hoopa again

[autumn spindle]

The thing about these raids is that most people would prioritize on saving more for the upcoming Mega Mewtwo raids instead

[worn umbra]

Gonna be quite annoying with so many raids in rotation

They are on the same day

[fervent pewter]

mewtwo is gonna be rlly hard to find 🙁

[worn umbra]

Atleast you can use link charges for the mewtwo raids instead of passes

[weary gorge]

Oh yeah that's true

[weary gorge]

From all these i'm mostly gonna prioritize a shiny Kyogre, maybe the lake spirits i need for the dex and the shinies for the kalos legends

Also why is Solgaleo and Lunala still shiny locked bruh

[worn umbra]

Alola Tour 👀

I still need a hundo giratina origin for ML, the event background for non mewtwo bosses looked very mid tho

[weary gorge]

Is gonna give me a tock seeing Ho-oh not alongside Lugia in that list lmao, what is this disorder

[weary gorge]

Also they locked the tapus? What

[worn umbra]

Its not a finished list

[weary gorge]

I've heard how Niantic can lock and unlock a shiny form but still why

[mellow marten]

Honestly I just need myself some more groudon primal energy and id be satisfied

[worn umbra]

The palkia sprite is shiny on one day too and cres name was misspelled until a few hours ago

[weary gorge]

I'm definitely gonna prioritize a Landorus for that stupid ass research i've been holding on since almost 7 years ago

If i don't get it, i'm gonna genuinely crashout

[fervent pewter]

i really need lunala

and still gonna do xerneas, palkia, and landorus

prob groudon and kyo too

[worn umbra]

🤔 i still need a ML landorus aswell

I hope they give us a way to get sub-1500 legendaries again like they did with the regis

[fervent pewter]

lando t kinda sucks now

but yea i want to make one still

[worn umbra]

Me too, i pretty much have hundos of all the current relevant ones

Giratina origin is one i really want the shundo of

[fervent pewter]

the worst is having the mon and still needing 200 xl

[lucid frigate]

Im still mad that i evolved my hundo cosmog into a solgaleo

Before lunala became good

[fervent pewter]

dang yea solgaleo was def the front runner for a while

lunala is prob the best ML mon rn

[forest saffron]

Is anyone else having this bug when finishing hyper training

[lucid frigate]

Resh and zek are also really good

Best dragons in the format tbh

[fossil basin]

Thank you com day for brutal swing

[weary gorge]

Oh yeah i was gonna ask

There's a medal for "Training" but what the heck is that?

Is it hyper training?

[unborn garden]

I assume

[worn umbra]

The "trainer" medal? If you mean that its for battling the team leaders in those training battles

On the very bottom of the battle tab

[weary gorge]

Oh

Weird ass medal

[fervent pewter]

you can spam it quick at least

[weary gorge]

I never was able to beat Spark lmao

Also

Finally he's mine

I was already starting to lose faith and that he was actually shiny locked lmao

[worn umbra]

One of the best shinies

[weary gorge]

Indeed

[autumn spindle]

Switched my partner to Poipole for this event

[autumn spindle]

The closest I got for Buzzwole. Now, I just hope it gets a moveset update someday to make it viable eventually

[worn umbra]

I dont think a move update can save it from its typing and stat issue

[trail cloak]

It was actually usable in some ML formats when Counter was OP... But that will never be buffed again

[worn umbra]

I think counter and jab are also the best fast moves (if not even the only ones) it even learns MSG wise?

Cooked

[trail cloak]

It could get Bug Bite (USUM tutor) but that wouldn't do it any good

[gaunt horizon]

I wish it gave you a free remote raid pass like, once a week or so

I don't live near gyms

Or pokestops

[glacial sierra]

i live in range of one gym and pokestop - don't even need to leave the home for it

[fervent pewter]

i used to live on 2 stops and 2 gyms

[loud gull]

Looks like registeel is here, I hope it is a good tank pokemon to use

[trail cloak]

It's usable

Zamazenta (and Blissey) is generally preferred but mono-Steel has some use cases

[loud gull]

I also know that regirock is great when fighting against gmax charizard

[trail cloak]

If you don't have Gigalith, maybe, though I think G-Max single Super Effectiveness from Inteleon/Tox/Kingler might outperform Regirock

[lone scarab]

I grabbed a regice then went this is stupid why am I collecting these and haven't done a max legend since

[fluid glacier]

toured a uni campus and had a field day spinning all the pokestops and gyms... ive got three guys defending them rn 😭😭😭😭 AND I GOT A DAMN GOOD PERFECT INKAY FROM A SHADOW RAID TOO

[south hound]

Uni campus the best place tbh, so many stops and gyms

[fossil basin]

Uh…

welp time to download assets later

[restive turtle]

when I masterball a shiny best buddy Galarian Zapdos from a lure module but then it transforms into clamperl

[trail cloak]

Try again next Master Ball

[mild whale]

Any chance train falinks coming back? Also can i use normal remote raid passes for the mega falinks raid?

[fervent pewter]

you would have to use remote pass + link charges

[mild whale]

How do i get link charges

Also how many each raid

[mild whale]

Also will train falinks mega look different?

[grand canopy]

nope :(

[autumn spindle]

Mega Falinks will be mostly for Fighting type candy boost anyway, if we can get it to Mega Level 4 that is

[worn umbra]

small loan of 5000 mega energy

[mild whale]

Living in a rural area is a pain, how am I supposed to muster up 10 players for falinks raids? I can only gather 4 at most..

[lucid frigate]

Pull up with 10 alt accounts but fr the super mega raids are brutal for rural players unless you remote

[mild whale]

I can remote but link charges make it quite pricy. Also isn't alt accounts bannable??

[lucid frigate]

Technically against TOS but ive never seen anyone get banned for it

They make more money off them if anything

[mild whale]

But whose idea was it to make it cost remote raid passes and charges?? Like how do I get those

[lucid frigate]

I think you can host up to 10 people in pokegenie but queues might be rough

[mild whale]

That's my biggest problem, on realese they are allways so many hosts

[mild whale]

Will there be normal 3 star falinks raids?

I want a shiny so bad

[glad niche]

You can get remote passes from the shop, so defending gyms, and rarely the research breakthrough
Link charges im pretty sure you can get them from doing the weekly challenges

[trail cloak]

presumably Falinks will be in normal mega raids down the line

It sucks not being able to participate in events but at least this one is skippable

I'd save coins for Mewtwo

[mild whale]

But, falinks is so epic

[trail cloak]

I do agree, got this train waiting 🚂

[mild whale]

What was the shiny chance on that one? I sadly only got normal ones

[trail cloak]

Usual 1/20 I think?

[mild whale]

😔

I managed to squeeze out 2 of them

(Normal train)

If they make it so train falinks mega looks different I will be so happy

Just realized there isn't even a gym that can host super mega raids in my town😢

[worn umbra]

you can also get them from gifts

[glad niche]

What

[worn umbra]

you can get link charges from opening gifts

the rate is just incredibly atrocious

[mellow marten]

Is this implying that you can’t mega evolve mewtwo for free even after the initial fee? #pogo_news message

[crisp relic]

Tweeted

Leek Duck 🦆🤝👖 (@LeekDuck) ✧

According to Mewtwo’s info page, it will cost 7,500 Mewtwo Mega Energy to Mega Evolve to each form of Mega Mewtwo in Pokémon GO.

According to dataminers, it will then cost 150 Mega Energy after the first. The holding Mega Energy cap for Mewtwo will be 50,000 instead of 10,000.

[mellow marten]

Or is it saying that 150 is the price if you try to mega evolve them immediately after they got out of their mega

[autumn spindle]

Well, frick. It's gonna be a long road to even get both a good Mewtwo and enough Mega energy, though not sure about the Adventure Effects yet

[mild whale]

7500 mega energy..?

We better get 1000 each

[fossil basin]

Rip 13 falinks no shiny

Oh well i had some old shines

[autumn spindle]

I'll likely go for just 2 Super Mega Raids today, just to get the Mega Falinks entry

[mild whale]

Turns out (for me atleast) you only need one

Anyone know if its cost efficient to skip the tiers?

[glad niche]

Imo never skip

[mild whale]

Slow and steady wins the race?

[lone scarab]

unless youre grinding and like about to hit the energy cap, probably

which nobody pulls off casually

[autumn spindle]

Now everyone wanting to do those kinds of Super Mega raids must remember to bring in a Mega evolved Pokemon in the back to break the shield, as it's been a few months since we had those in the Kalos GO Tour

[worn umbra]

mega falinks seems to have an increased IV floor, i hope that'll be the case for mega mewtwo aswell

not sure if that was the case for the go tour super mega raids aswell, from the ones left in my storage it seems like it was, but too small of a sample size

[cold panther]

chat what are the odds for a shiny turtonator from raids? i swear i did like over 40 raids. no luck yet.

[worn umbra]

should be 1/64

if i remember correctly shiny odds used to be dependant on the pokemon you encounter, not on the encounter method, but with memories in motion they did mention that raids and eggs have increased shiny odds compared to wild pokemon. turt used to be 1/64 wild since it was permaboosted and that would have applied to raids aswell, but with this seasons change to permaboosted shinies it might be different now

[cold panther]

i'm cooked 💀

is there any method to get a shiny turtonator without raiding right now?

[worn umbra]

10km adventure sync egg

[cold panther]

nooooo 😭

[trail cloak]

Going to a Play!Pokemon regional, like Indianapolis next weekend, Turts spawn from lures

Just a small cost of airplane & lodging 💰

[cold panther]

rng gods blessed me 🙏

[worn umbra]

🐐

[autumn spindle]

Did one Mega Falinks raid just for the energy to Mega evolve it

[lone scarab]

cries

[worn umbra]

just as rare as a hundo

[sharp finch]

Dude i got 2 of those are you kidding me.

Game refuses to give me hundos id actually use

[south hound]

hoyl shit nice!

[south hound]

I only got a handful of Falinks that were 2 star, everything else was 3 star

didn't get hundo but still got a good 3-star shiny

[autumn spindle]

Back to saving the coins and passes for the GO Fest Global coming soon

[restive turtle]

i did six raids on main (my group disbanded at 3pm) and no shiny but second one was a hundo

alt did one and got the shiny

[kindred musk]

Anything but a hundo

[south hound]

me with Helioptile, literally have never found a 3 star

[fossil basin]

If you want a female dmax bee be sure to look for the marking

[gaunt horizon]

If the power up option isn't showing up for a Pokémon, does that mean it's at max power for my trainer level?

Friend of w3ss here. What he's trying to ask is well, is battling in the Great League worth it. As someone who doesn't do the league I wouldn't know if the prizes are worth fighting for.

[lone scarab]

ya can look up the rank up/win/encounter rewards and see if theyre of interest, but generally, just a stardust farm

Where @fervent pewter at

[fervent pewter]

IMO its not worth it to play strictly for the rewards

most of us with big totals are just playing for fun and the rewards are bonus

[worn umbra]

i dont think ive gotten more stardust through gbl than ive spent for gbl

[tawny cove]

I guess I should’ve worked harder 🙃

[south hound]

sadge, got invited to a primal kyogre raid but there wasn't enough people to join and it fell apart

I did finally hit level 50! And I was lucky enough to get a registeel from the last community day (at least I was able to spam heal until I died lol)

[gaunt horizon]

If you walk with your buddy while they're mega evolved, you get mega energy, right?

[south hound]

yup!

they don't even need to be mega evolved actually

[gaunt horizon]

Oh nice

[south hound]

as long as it has mega evolved once

[gaunt horizon]

I was about to ask about that

[south hound]

if you have it as your buddy it will generate mega energy in addition to candies

[gaunt horizon]

Cause I just got my first shiny Mareep and I want shiny Mega Amoharos

[south hound]

Ahhh yeah. You have to wait for a mega raid in that case unless you already have mega energy stored up

I've been scouring my city for pokestops that give research tasks that give mega energy

[gaunt horizon]

I already mega evolved a regular ampharos

I forgot to mention that

I'm setting him as my buddy so I can mega the shiny

[south hound]

Oh! Yeah, that will work then. It will take a little time but you'll be able to mega the shiny in no time

[gaunt horizon]

I have another question

How do I get more Elite TMs?

[south hound]

I think you can get those as rewards from raids or special research? Let me double check

[gaunt horizon]

I wanna teach my Annihilape an actual fighting type charged attack

[south hound]

I think they pop up as research rewards on community days as well

[gaunt horizon]

Although Ice Punch has been useful

[gaunt horizon]

What difficulty of raids?

[south hound]

I'm trying to find info to make sure I'm not misremembering stuff. It might just be regular TMs from raids and not charged? unclear

[gaunt horizon]

Ok

[south hound]

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Raid_Battle_(GO)

Don't see an elite charged tm, so mayble only from special research tasks or something else

I am sorry I can't give you a better answer

[fossil basin]

Showcases
Ghost, rock & normal
If you have any steel chair hisui zorua, perfect for these

[worn umbra]

The whole Evolution line of that mon will reward you energy

So if you walk a male ralts after having previously mega evolved a gardevoir and gallade you'll get both mega energies from walking the ralts

[topaz gust]

Just did shadow kyogre and got it shiny

[glad niche]

Congratulations

[gilded stirrup]

Going to Norway this summer, are there any Regionals I can catch?

[woeful pulsar]

Blaze Breed Tauros (raids)
Volbeat
Zangoose
Solrock
East Sea Shellos
Mime Jr. (eggs)
Mesprit (raids + ultra rare wild spawn)
Pansear

Red Flabebe
Baile Style Oricorio
Pheromosa (raids)
Kartana (raids)
Stakataka (raids)

Purify trust

[autumn spindle]

I'd be looking forward to force palm Conkeldurr for Fighting damage next season

[mellow marten]

Is this worth the puri?

[vast finch]

Yeah! But make it a Gardevoir, it’s the #1 fairy attacker.

Alright thanks man

johncoolcj has given 1 Gen Rep to flygon330_

Ty!

[vast finch]

[unborn garden]

Garde as a mega should be the number 1 fairy type

But you can only have one mega garde Id keep it shadow since itll be better than a regular hundo garde

And ralts is fairly common

[worn umbra]

Depends on how you raid, it falls off hard when you consider party power

[autumn spindle]

Guzzlord will be making a return in the future, and Mega Gardevoir will be helpful to take it down

[unborn garden]

That is true, but its still good if you dont have a party member

With Tapu Fini back in raids again, is it overshadowed by Primarina in the Ultra League, right?

tapu fini lacks a good fastmove

[lucid frigate]

That is a trash vs garbage situation lol

[fervent pewter]

yoo tapu fini was op at one point

for like 3 days

[autumn spindle]

It's unfortunate how it doesn't learn Fairy Wind, while Tapu Koko is the only one who does learn it in the main games, and yet it doesn't know that move in GO

ig idk how the build up city days work

[worn umbra]

depends on what you want to use it for, for raids its definetely worth (IVs barely matter for raids), for ML id avoid building 14 defense mons

[mellow marten]

Alright thanks man, I’m mainly a pve player so that’s convenient I suppose

[crisp relic]

johncoolcj has given 1 Gen Rep to chaosxyz

[lone scarab]

Can always set it as your buddy after ones megad and get energy for spares

[mellow marten]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing right now

I gotta grind the full 400 though, only at 70 energy currently

[trail cloak]

14 defense doesn't change anything in ML, fwiw, for neither normal nor Primal (in Mega Masters)

I've got that Groudon maxed as well (though in a different color scheme 🪙 )

[south hound]

Yeah, the nearest one is an hour away by car. I'd have to take a bus then take a train 💀

I will probably just miss out on the raids and go later in the year with friends to see the museum

[devout dust]

truke

chicago train is op

[trail cloak]

I can host a private lobby or two in Chicago if you run out of luck on remote raids

[devout dust]

keep it niche😓

[worn umbra]

It does (bb solgaleo) but its more about being future proof against future 1 turn move changes

[trail cloak]

Like I said, it doesn't change anything

Obviously you want the hundo to be future proof but it's much worse to never max a Pokemon while eternally waiting for the dice to roll right

[worn umbra]

Id wait for the global event with your remote passes (if you also have link charges) so you get mega energy and unlocked mega level aswell

[trail cloak]

cries in 100+ lucky traded Necrozma

[worn umbra]

I agree, but defense is the stat you shouldnt have that mindset on.

If you have the ressources to build multiple anyway it doesn't matter

[south hound]

Oooh, good point. I'd rather get a mega atm

pvp question because I'm not really into pvp, but low attack is generally more desired for lower cp to keep within some leagues, yes?

[worn umbra]

Generally yes for great and ultra league

Theres a few scenarios where higher attack is preferred, like when annihilape was everywhere you wanted to be the one with higher attack in a 1v1

[south hound]

Awww yiss this guy might be interesting

[worn umbra]

Since if you both use your charged move at the same time the pokemon with the higher attack stat gets the move off first

[south hound]

ah. That is very good to know. Thank you!

[crisp relic]

noteythedirtwizard has given 1 Gen Rep to chaosxyz

[fervent pewter]

nah it actually doesnt really matter

[pliant prawn]

Cheap too

I don’t 110$ round trip

[devout dust]

yh

[fossil basin]

Who is this again i know i added em from here

[worn umbra]

Until you get breakpointed by DB after a patch

[fervent pewter]

demon lvl part 4

[mild whale]

When was gold bottle caps last available? Last year after I used mine on my shiny background groudon, which isn't very close to being completed and its at 30 days left.

[worn umbra]

the go fest pass last year

[mild whale]

Do you think they will be coming back?

[worn umbra]

100%

[mild whale]

Awesome, they should make it twice a year or sum

Or special reaserch

[worn umbra]

gold for gofest, silver for wild area
go tour having one would be interesting, preferrably one that is able to lower a stat instead of raising it, but that will probably not happen lol

since a bottlecap like that doesnt exist in the MSG as far as i know

[mild whale]

What whould be the point in reducing?

[worn umbra]

getting good PvP IV on some pokemon

[mild whale]

Oh I thought 4* was best for everything

[autumn spindle]

Seeing how Tokyo's GO Fest was with the Mega Mewtwo raids and the thing of holding up the phone for a Unity attack, I don't like how that goes so far

[mild whale]

What's wrong with holding up the phone?

[worn umbra]

according to the new mystic7 video you dont actually have to do it, he was able to not move the phone at all and the game acted like you were taking part in it

[autumn spindle]

Like rise it up in the air to charge up an Unity Attack. There's already some footage from people playing the event

[mild whale]

Local only?

[autumn spindle]

Yeah

We still have to wait about when it goes global on July

[lucid frigate]

Get ready for the 300 km the next level lol

[worn umbra]

i just got done with the 400km one

[lucid frigate]

The 300km is annoying cause i still have to save pokemon to max out lol

[devout dust]

literally what is the problem😭

[devout dust]

yooo who goin to friday/sunday of chicago go fest

found out mega mewtwo raids happen once per day split not just an ffa at last 30mins

lookin for remote invites

[sharp finch]

My group isn't going sadly, they are more worried about missing 1 DND session even though everyone in their DND group is in the poke go group

[devout dust]

awesome bro

😭😭

[lone scarab]

dont think I'll be doing much of go fest at all this year :(

[glad niche]

Im sorry

**Please remember that when you are hosting a remote raid in Pokemon Go, people will be able to see the gym name and location of the caught pokemon. Therefore, they can see your location to a certain extent. Do not host raids if you don't want people to have this information Hope you guys have some good shiny luck **
Similar things apply to gifts you send to friends and pokemon location tags that you flex

To do remote raids, you have to have a Remote Raid pass (100 coins each in shop, 250 coins for a bundle of 3)

1. The host has to add you as a friend on Pokemon Go.
2. The host then enters the raid lobby using either a Free pass, Premium pass or Remote Raid pass.
3. The host can invite up to 5 people using the remote raid pass.
4. When you are invited to a raid, you can access the invite using the tab on the bottom right of the screen, then switching from "Nearby Pokemon" to "Raids" and accessing it there. You can only access the raid using a Remote Raid pass. You will have around 1 minute to join and get your party ready from the time of invite.

The host is able to do this for more than 5 people by backing out of the lobby before the timer starts, and then starting a new one to invite another 5 people. Anyone who has completed the specific raid instance already cannot repeat it using this method.

Also please do not bother the host if they do not want to repeat it more than once. It's their choice to host the raid in the first place, and they can choose how to invite people/whom to invite.

yeah i think so

Setting the Circle trick

• Touch and hold the Poké Ball until the target circle shrinks down to Excellent size.
• Wait until the Pokémon starts to attack.
• Spin the Poké Ball so you can curve it.
• As the Pokémon gets to about 3/4 through its attack, throw the curve ball as close to dead center as you can.

[fickle sluice]

I’ve been doing a lot of raids lately

[still jewel]

I’m about 6 mill away from having enough xp for 49

[tardy loom]

I've only gotten back to go for the Meltan event, then I stood for the Shinies.

[glacial lily]

[fickle sluice]

@twilit cave yes you can with remote raid passes

[alpine rain]

this post was made by me, a pogo noob

[mellow scaffold]

Hiiiiiii

[tardy loom]

[weary geyser]

[drowsy granite]

[alpine rain]

so please carry me, you cool gamers

[shrewd cairn]

This has been a thing for a while.

[twilit sapphire]

[twilit cave]

Crazy. I'd love to do that. Except I am tryin to not give niantic my money. Lol

Wow. I was out of the loop

[untold breach]

They give free remote passes every so often

[glacial lily]

u get a free remote raid pass once a week

[fickle sluice]

Ooh in celebration of the new POGO section I may host a kyruem raid 👀

[shrewd cairn]

They often have free raid passes in the shop.

[tardy loom]

What's the recommended CP for raids?

[twilit cave]

Gotcha

[twilit sapphire]

enough so you have at least type effectiveness

[charred rapids]

Anyone else hype for shiny Celebi research?

[night storm]

power up good conters to level 30-35 is good enough

[twilit sapphire]

but yeh, lvl 30 or more mons are nice

[versed carbon]

how many shinies do you guys got

[tardy loom]

Noted.

[glacial lily]

cp is the least important thing about pokemon

[fickle sluice]

No matter how much CP your Pokémon really have, for 5 star raids, megas you always want quite a few people since their cp is CRAZY
