me: cries in never goes outside and is level 20

[quasi mica]

I don’t think so. best way for exp right now is excellent thrown and just keep catching Pokémon and doing raids and sending gifs @shrewd cairn

[shrewd cairn]

Awesome thanks. I’ve been playing since day 1 but not super into all the details.

[crisp relic]

djmexi has given 1 'General Rep' to donnie angel69a.

[quasi mica]

@shrewd cairn Np but the Excellent throws got ramped up and if you can catch it off of a excellent it is 2000 exp right now. Legends raids purple egg if defeated gives 10,000 exp plus the catch if you can get it. But the buddy System you will want to work on at least get the second heart filled on your best buddy because then that gives you a catch assist. So if the Pokémon you’re trying to catch hit your ball back towards you your body will hit the ball back towards the Pokémon and help catch it. Very useful

@shrewd cairn also hatching eggs and getting better friend lvl with people will help out too for exp

[molten valley]

You know what, I think that if you’re best friends with someone you should be able to trade no matter the distance

[charred rapids]

I agree with that.

It would help alot of people who can't travel.

Whether across the street or across the world.

[quasi mica]

@molten valley I like the way you think

[molten valley]

Like seriously though now all of us can travel across the world for a specific Pokémon

[charred rapids]

Yeah especially since the platinum medals for the dexes want all the Pokémon to earn them, which is really impossible.

[feral hound]

It’s not impossible at all, a lot of the Pokémon usually go in to eggs, all you have to do is be friends w someone over seas an have them send you gifts to get eggs

[quasi mica]

@feral hound I don’t know if that works with regional exclusive Pokémon though

[feral hound]

If they’re in the egg pool it does

[quasi mica]

I would say you could do raids that are in different areas if you have someone invite you but that’s about it that I know of

@feral hound now that I think about it I remember looking at charts in the past and it’s not possible because you get 7K eggs from friends and the regional exclusives are in 5K eggs so it’s not possible on the way you can get exclusive or if there are raids in different areas that you get invited to otherwise please show me the proof @feral hound 

[feral hound]

It must have been an the distance event then

[quasi mica]

Now that is possible when they do special events but unfortunately if you miss it you sol

[quasi mica]

I will have to say I am not a huge fan how they split up the raids and the mega raids for chat so now you have to hop back-and-forth pain in the Hiney on the phone

[haughty saddle]

lmao you'd hate my server then. We're split by tier, with chat being another separate channel.

Most people know what pokemon they're going for, and kinda stick to that.

[plucky plover]

Anyone wanna go kyerum raid

[rich bluff]

Can someone @ me

[quasi mica]

@haughty saddle it just makes it nice cause you aren’t forcing some one to hope in. but then they will have the option to get in with out changing chats.

[haughty saddle]

the main issue I foresaw was multiple raids happening at once.

[quasi mica]

I can see that

But it wasn’t bad how it was been on here for a month now or a little longer

[leaden arch]

hey so i just recently re downloaded go to do the shiny meltan event how do i give gifts to people i need it to do this quest also am i ever going to be able to do these 5 star raids these cp levels are absurd my highest level pokemon are 1000

[untold breach]

5 star raids will pretty much always require multiple people

[fallen thunder]

Where would be some good places to find Fletchling?

[steel parcel]

@fallen thunder i’ve been seeing fletchling and froakie at parks/hiking trails

[fallen thunder]

Ok, thanks.

[crisp relic]

KombatKing has given 1 'General Rep' to wrowww.

[charred rapids]

How do I get a Mewtwo?😭

[somber talon]

Do the team rocket quests

[charred rapids]

Thank you thank you

[crisp relic]

uvnonsense has given 1 'General Rep' to casu.

[somber talon]

:3

[charred rapids]

A recent new friend that became a irl friend informed me of the pokeball for pokestops and omg I feel so stupid lol

I used it for carrying a little bb with me

[stark narwhal]

I can’t believe I’ve caught 2 froakie today. I may hold on to two for trading because they’re so rare

[gilded rune]

Are the Kanto Pokemon shiny locked?

I have so many litleo in a row and haven't found a shiny.....

[stark narwhal]

Litleo isn’t Kanto

Shinies are still rare. Far less rare in PoGo than in standard games but still

[steel parcel]

@stark narwhal i ran abt a mile out of my way to catch this froakie last night!

[stark narwhal]

The three I've had were in a grocery store parking lot, a park, and inside a Walgreens

[noble acorn]

some pokemon are, some pokemon aren't.

[steel parcel]

@stark narwhal inside a walgreens??

[stark narwhal]

Well I was inside Walgreens just now, and a froakie spawned while I was shopping

[noble acorn]

ive had yet to get a froakie

although ive caught a shit ton of fennekin

[stark narwhal]

Walgreens is a Pharmacy/Grocery Store chain in the states

I've got enough candy to get Chesnaught now, but I fee like I could do better than 3 star 410 cp

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 92

[steel parcel]

i should check out cvs

[stark narwhal]

My what

When did I get a cacturne and why is it level 92

[steel parcel]

have you tried hatching any of the starters? my hatched starters have all been 92-98%

[stark narwhal]

I only have one incubator so a lot of my eggs are pre-event.

[steel parcel]

ahh ok

i’ve been purposely getting lost today so i can hatch more eggs

[stark narwhal]

I've been spinning a bunch of stops in hopes of getting a Sun Stone, I've had this Cottnee ready to evolve since August

[steel parcel]

oof

[charred rapids]

its crazy how its already kalos

[steel parcel]

sun stones are so random tbh

i’ve gotten 4 kings rocks but one 2 sun stones

*only 2

[stark narwhal]

I'm on a five day streak so I hope maybe Monday on the 7th day I get one

[steel parcel]

does it help if you spin the same stop?

[stark narwhal]

I have no idea tbh

[gilded rune]

I meant Kalos up there lol

Not kanto

[charred rapids]

i deleted pokemon go bc i got bored the returned

[stark narwhal]

Nothing I've seen indicated they are shiny locked but it's hard to say for sure.

[gilded rune]

I hate to ask so many questions but how do I get male litleo

Nvm I'm good

[odd glade]

At least he is WBed for you :p

[steel parcel]

@odd glade wbed?

[odd glade]

Weather Boosted

[stark narwhal]

Are they permanently boosted when caught during a weather boost?

Anyone know if baby pokemon spawn in the wild?

Pichu Magby etc

[steel parcel]

@odd glade idk if weather matters that much. i found 3 froakie today in windy weather (but no scyther, which is what i was after)! i think he’s just hiding

[muted gyro]

I need some pokeballs

So need friends to gift me of anyone doesn't mind

[cinder igloo]

i can help you out

@muted gyro let me know FC and ill add you and send gift

[muted gyro]

@cinder igloo fc is 5271 7788 6380

anymore people that are and willing to gift me some pokeballs are much appreciated

@cinder igloo let me know when you friend

[cinder igloo]

i already had you so i sent a gift

[muted gyro]

ah ok

1 ultra ball 😔

need more pokeballs if anyone willing to gift

just ping

[solar mason]

why tf they had to make the legendary raid be shiny locked for a whole ass month

[wet bay]

yay, after four months I finally hit lvl 30

[sturdy kraken]

Nice! I'm 13 million EXP away from level 40

[solar mason]

ill prob be. 38 by the end of the month

[muted gyro]

anyone willing to gidt me

gift*

[sturdy kraken]

aim for lvl 40 to get legacy 40

[red cove]

I can gift you @muted gyro I just started playing and I’m not sure how to do it but I know I have gifts

[stark narwhal]

there's no chance I get there from 34

[muted gyro]

ok

add me

@red cove fc is above

[stark narwhal]

Does Legacy 40 actually do anything?

[surreal parrot]

You get a fun hat

[stark narwhal]

Cool, so I don't need to worry about it then lol

[red cove]

Okay I sent it @muted gyro

[surreal parrot]

But the hat

[stark narwhal]

I don't think its physically possible. I just hit level 34 like Friday

[surreal parrot]

Ez

[sturdy kraken]

It is possible

I'm going for it, I'm level 35

[surreal parrot]

Raids and friends interaction

[sturdy kraken]

I can get 5 mil EXP from friends

[stark narwhal]

But is it worth the money on raid passes for a hat?

[surreal parrot]

Yeo

[sturdy kraken]

Yes

I play PoGo often, so it's worth it

[surreal parrot]

Clearly never played TF2

[sturdy kraken]

if you're not a recurring player then don't, but if you're dedicated then it's fine

[stark narwhal]

I mean If I didn't skip a year and a half, I'd probably be there

[sturdy kraken]

Same

[odd glade]

@steel parcel You just have a better chance to find a Froakie with better IV's thanks to the WB IV floor.
Like thanks to the sunny weather I found a lot of 3 stars Fennekins, however the all 3 Froakis I found had terrible IV's

[crisp relic]

Nala has given 1 'General Rep' to wrowww.

[sturdy kraken]

I'm 330k EXP off the goal

I'm trying to hit lvl 36 tonight

[stark narwhal]

is there a percentage checker for PoGo?

I have a three star froakie but I'm not sure exactly how good it could be

[surreal parrot]

I only started playing again for a year

[stark narwhal]

I picked it back up in May

[surreal parrot]

Played 3-4 months when it first came out

[paper reef]

I played when the game first came out for like 2-3 weeks.

I don’t think there was even an option to pick a starter pokemon back then

[stark narwhal]

I spoofed in at the beginning of 2018 and got a temp ban. I would like to make it clear that I do not spoof now.

[surreal parrot]

Pokegenie

[paper reef]

Same

[surreal parrot]

Let's not talk about such things

[paper reef]

But 2016

Sure thing

[stark narwhal]

Yeah I played since the beginning and just got frustrated with the boring spawns in my town

It's way more diverse now so it's all good

[paper reef]

Lots of good mons based around everywhere now

[surreal parrot]

[stark narwhal]

I do feel bad replacing all my really old mon's with stronger versions a little bit

[red cove]

I’m relieved to see I’m not the only one who played for the first weeks of its release and stopped and am getting back into it

[pine ingot]

@stark narwhal you shouldn't do that bc old pokemons can increase your chances of lucky trades

[stark narwhal]

Trading the old mons? or just having them?

Also, I heard that Rocket Leaders and Giovanni Scale with the CP of the pokemon you bring in? Because I've got a lot of 3 star pokemon with lower than 2k CP. It

[sturdy kraken]

Yeah, they scale

[stark narwhal]

Oh wicked

Now I can use that 100% Kangaskhan

[surreal parrot]

I mean you still need to use appropriate counters

[stark narwhal]

I mean in general.

I like I don't have to worry about a lower CP pokemon just because it has lower CP

[warm heart]

Bruh

[stark narwhal]

Is it shiny?

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 93

[surreal parrot]

Congrats

[warm heart]

Apparently so.

[stark narwhal]

WHY DO I KEEP GETTING NOTIFIED ABOUT A CACTURNE

[surreal parrot]

I dunno but it's annoying lol

[warm heart]

Too bad I’ll never be able to evolve it lol.

[stark narwhal]

why not?

[surreal parrot]

Why not you're halfway there and they're v valuable trades in swsh

[warm heart]

Not enough candy.

[stark narwhal]

You have the mystery box right?

[surreal parrot]

Just farm them and use pinap Berry

You can get up to 4 candy / Meltan if you catch with pinap and transfer during 2x transfer candy events. So only 55 Meltan to go

[fossil nymph]

OMG IM SHOOK- JUST HATCHED THIS FROM A 12K

[surreal parrot]

Nice

[untold breach]

hell yeah

[fossil nymph]

RED SHINY FROM RED EGG WOOH

[analog steeple]

[stark narwhal]

12k eggs scare me to death

All of mine are 7k at the moment

[noble acorn]

poggies

caught it WB

[fossil nymph]

7k eggs are annoying af

I want galar alola sucks

[muted gyro]

if anyone wants to send gifts, feel free

I still need some pokeballs

[fossil nymph]

Im on 0 pokeballs

:/

[wet bay]

my shiny is cp 500

I also have a 100% Throh that is perfect in Great League

1500 cp

[charred rapids]

I really hope since they’ve added Kalos Pokémon into Go, that Diancie will be given in special research, or make a special mega raid event for her since she’s the only mythical who can mega evolve. Diancie is the only mythical I’ve missed all the distributions for so I’d love to use Go-Home to have one in Sword. Of course I’d need to do a temporary trade to do that.

[muted gyro]

same

i like how kalos event is going on and one of the missions is catch a litleo and I already caught one :/

but it won't mark it off

[untold breach]

i'm stuck on the chespin part lmao

you'll have to catch another litleo

[muted gyro]

yeah I found one but had no pokeballs

I still don't have pokeballs

[winter pelican]

After that you'll need to catch a chespin, fennekin, and froakie. You have to catch one of these while on these steps.

[muted gyro]

i have chespin, fennekin

not froakie

if you guys want to send me gifts, much appreciated

[winter pelican]

Yep, its not easy.

[charred rapids]

Congratulations hatefulemperor! Your Scorbunny leveled up to level 9

[untold breach]

you have to catch them when you're on that step though

[muted gyro]

yeah I just need pokeballs

[untold breach]

4784 0468 4698

i'll prob get more gifts in a bit

[fossil nymph]

Need pokeballs send help

[muted gyro]

fc is 5271 7788 6380

man, if any of you guys live in texas, let me know. I need to evolve 2 pokemon

[fossil nymph]

Just evolved chespin!

[muted gyro]

i was so sad today

[fossil nymph]

?

w h y

[muted gyro]

i evolved my surskit and was hoping cpu level would be like 1480ish so I could use it for battles....but it became cpu level 1502

-2 cpu level and I would've been able to use it for battles

[fossil nymph]

Rip

Oh btw @muted gyro i sent a friend request

[muted gyro]

what state you in?

[fossil nymph]

florida

Y

[muted gyro]

need to evolve

through trading

[fossil nymph]

You can prob find some players in your area via facebook groups and such

[burnt torrent]

Yasss

[untold breach]

heck yeah

[grave marlin]

Mega Charizard X nearby. Anyone in?

5745 5378 2005

[red cove]

How strong should my Pokémon be before I start doing raids?

[grave marlin]

Depends on the raid

[ripe swan]

How much can it lift?

[grave marlin]

A team of 1500+ would be good depending on the amount of people

[charred rapids]

Congratulations Christian Drury! Your Wartortle leveled up to level 17

[red cove]

There’s a 5 star kyrurem nearby

Oh okay, thank you @grave marlin I’m not ready for it yet

[crisp relic]

xL3G4CY15x has given 1 'General Rep' to Christian Drury.

[charred rapids]

[muted gyro]

i would but no raid passes

[stark narwhal]

I finally have enough candy to evolve my bronzor but I haven’t seen any with barely above two stars :/

[gilded rune]

I only have 3 4 stars.....

[twilit sapphire]

Mood

like not 3 but non shiny also so

[olive kettle]

Can I rant about how difficult it is to catch Kyurem (harder than last time?) and how the catch rate of the gen 6 starters seems to be low too?

[sturdy kraken]

Uhh sure?

[olive kettle]

Well basically that was my rant lol

[sturdy kraken]

Looks at my ratio of 13/16 kyurem

[olive kettle]

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[sturdy kraken]

Starters in general have a low catch rate

[olive kettle]

I dunno I think I’m bad at estimating the distance between me and Kyurem for some odd reason, the jumping and attacking is fine

[sturdy kraken]

that just means you need more practice

The range at first was hard, but I got used to it

[olive kettle]

Also, the ball freezes right before I throw it once during every raid

[stark narwhal]

Chimchar and Torchic are still far and away the hardest starters for me.

Also Bunnelby is harder than it has any right to be

[olive kettle]

Oddly enough I do fine with Torchic lol

[stark narwhal]

I hate how long it takes to get out of its aggressive animation

[olive kettle]

That’s true, the tiny pitter patter steps it takes are kinda cute though... Until after the first time

[stark narwhal]

Is hoarding Froakies a good idea? Because I hear they are so rare it might be a good bargaining chip

[sturdy kraken]

agreed

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’m using the ones I caught for lucky trades, they seem to be the most rare with the exception of noibat but pfffft good luck with that

[sturdy kraken]

@charred rapids Thankss

[crisp relic]

Omega Galaxy has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[stark narwhal]

I forget shinies in go appear as shinies in the overworld?

[sturdy kraken]

no

[stark narwhal]

oh dang

[olive kettle]

That’s let’s go only afaik

[charred rapids]

Hey no problem man glad you can steal what belongs to me

Nah seriously congrats hahah

[sturdy kraken]

Congrats!

[charred rapids]

[analog steeple]

I got an Alolan Marowak if anyone wants in

[last hinge]

I just got a shiny omanyte off a team rocket shadow Pokémon encounter

[sturdy kraken]

@terse patrol we need 5

And nice mate!

[stark narwhal]

Whaaaaat?

108?!?!

[charred rapids]

Yeah that’s been the spiritomb tasks the last three years fella

Because 108 is an important number, it’s dex number in the sinnoh dex, how many souls make up spiritomb etc.

[stark narwhal]

I just recently picked it up the game after a year and a half. Didn't know

Well I picked it back up in May at least

[charred rapids]

Yeah it’s been in three special research’s all regarding 108 Pokémon caught and 108 berries used.

[stark narwhal]

ewww I'd much rather it be 108 pokemon caught. Goodness

[charred rapids]

Hahaha

[charred rapids]

[olive kettle]

Yeah 108 is the number of “earthly desires” that people are said to have in Buddhism

[paper reef]

So I finally put together a good outfit. I’ve realized that sometimes an outfit goes best without a bag on.

My Spirtomb quest was from 2019. I didn’t get one this year.

But I finished it about 2 weeks ago and caught it anyways.

[shell kernel]

remember the Pokémon go's region ting

Here is a screenshot:

[paper reef]

Nice

I searched it back. Here you go.

I couldn’t read any of that in the screenshot, but thank you though.

Well, except the word Norway but it’s massive and bold so it’s pretty easy.

I actually have a male outfit too on my same account in PoGo that I never use but I like to have one just for what ever reason. I guess it’s more of a satisfaction thing to have both male and female outfits fully customized.

This is my Male outfit that I probably won’t ever use.

But having both just looks good so I might as well anyways.

[paper reef]

I’m currently running 3 devices with PoGo and have 2 PokéBall Plus on my two lower accounts lol. Got a PokéBall in each hand strapped in.

This is pretty fun actually

Well, I’m heading back out.

[paper reef]

Just found out in order to pick a Team I have to be Lvl 5 and visit a gym. I guess next time I go out I’ll have to sit in my car near a gym with my tablet and spare phone. I personally think that’s dumb you need to go to a gym but I mean it is a game based off exercise so I guess it makes sense.

[paper reef]

I customized one of them also. This is my cute guy outfit.

[paper reef]

I just like fashion tbh. It’s so fun to decorate and customize stuff. Well goodnight.

[shrewd cairn]

So I tried googling before asking here how much do do you get when completing a mega raid?

*xp

[charred rapids]

You have a lot of stuff to say huh

[clever kernel]

Anyone else having issues encountering froakie?

[charred rapids]

quick question: if u can send pokemon from pokemon go to pokemon home, can u send pokemon from pokemon home to pokemon go?

No

It’s a one way street fella

[paper reef]

Yes I did and always do lol. I talk a lot but I’m not much of a social person unless I get really comfy with my environment or people in it.

[sturdy kraken]

12.5 million out from lvl 40

[charred rapids]

Honestly I thought getting xp would be difficult, but if you find a nest of Pokémon that are easy to excellent, wailmer, scyther, electabuzz etc. you get 2300 xp per excellent catch, lucky egg it and you’re looking at just under 5000 xp per catch.

So my advice to you, try and excellent every magmar and electabuzz on com day with lucky eggs on, you’d rake in crazy xp.

[sturdy kraken]

I usually just aim for greats, it takes 4x the amount but it's easier to make consistent greats than excellents

Plus, with evolution, catching 4x the mons is a benefit

[charred rapids]

I cannot begin to express how much I know this feeling.

[paper reef]

With no cellular data on my spare Iphone 6 & my Tablet I had to use my hotspot but I managed to pick a team for both of them finally.

Team Instinct

Team Valor

[dreamy tundra]

I miss such low lvl-up quotas

[gilded rune]

Anyone know the breakthrough pokemon

[crude nacelle]

It's either Lapras or Unovan Darumaka

https://leekduck.com/research/

[analog steeple]

@fickle sluice thanks for the raid invite! I finally got some damn revives

[crisp relic]

Classic Christian has given 1 'General Rep' to Reverb.

[fickle sluice]

@analog steeple Np!!

[fossil nymph]

Ball boy

[fickle sluice]

He ball!! Congrats!!

I got this yesterday!!

I gave it a meme name for some reason

[paper reef]

Nice on both your grass types!

This is my favorite mon I’m working on with right now.

Dang it, I spent so much effort this morning hijacking all 3 of the Valor gyms from the park near me and my mystic teammates didn’t show up and all 3 got taken over by Valor again. At least they only have 2 mons at each currently

To be fair though all 3 gyms had little to no health left and I floored them all with a single Pokémon and it was like 16 mons with 800 health at most.

[fickle sluice]

Same thing happened with me but with mystic, I’m valor XD

[crude nacelle]

I'm p sure the local Instinct players are tired of me putting random shinies in gyms instead of established defenders like Blissey lmao

[fickle sluice]

Lmao, I don’t have a blissy so I usually put my strongest shiny

Aka my shiny Magmortar

I can’t believe I got it to 2600+ CP

[solemn salmon]

i have a question

[crude nacelle]

what's up

[solemn salmon]

what cp do i need for giovanni?

im kinda new to this never had a super rocket radar before

[crude nacelle]

I believe Giovanni's Pokémon scale with yours.

So it's less about using the right CP, and more about using the right Pokémon with the right moves around the same CP.

[solemn salmon]

Oof nice

[crude nacelle]

https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/rocket-boss-giovanni-counters/

[solemn salmon]

ty krabs!

[torn sparrow]

Yooo pokego players, I got a question. When you transfer a pokemon from PokeGo to SHSW, does it use your OT?

[gilded rune]

I got a shadow suicune from him😡

[still pollen]

It’s your Pokémon Go name as the OT.

[torn sparrow]

Really?
So it keeps your PokeGo name as the OT, and it doesnt use the SHSW OT or HOME OT then, yeah?

[still pollen]

Yupp

[torn sparrow]

I went to looking, and all I'm finding is that the OT becomes your HOME OT

[still pollen]

Although for me it didn’t change a minor detail. My username in Go is LordLvni but it changed the V to an A when I transferred it.

Oh you know what I’m completely wrong.

It does change it to the Pokémon Home name I had a slow moment

Let me go crawl under a rock in embarrassment.

[torn sparrow]

hehe, it's okay dude 😌

[vestal fable]

Its kinda dumb because your home OT becomes your Pogo OT, but its still different from your SwSh OT.

[twilit sapphire]

guess we can meme post sometimes here

[charred rapids]

LOL

[stark narwhal]

Will espurr start appearing in the wild after Tuesday?

[severe phoenix]

šëçrēts

[fossil nymph]

Why dont u have a deerling

[severe phoenix]

shhh

not the point

[stark narwhal]

Or a multi tbh

Muk

[fossil nymph]

Hehe

Before you ask, no i will not charge my phone

[untold breach]

isn't it already on charge

[fossil nymph]

Oh damn it is

[split rose]

when is the shiny celebi event?

[stark narwhal]

December 14th

[vestal fable]

I need help on a mega raid as part of a research task zzz

[sturdy kraken]

My hunt for legacy 40 continues, I’m 12.2 million EXP away

[stark narwhal]

@vestal fable is there a task for beating a mega raid ?

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 94

[stark narwhal]

This Cacturne haunts me

[surreal parrot]

Maybe it'll go once it is level 100

Out of curiosity what tags have people made. I'm trying to decide what tags to use but can't make up my mind

[solar mason]

shiny

legendary, and typing

[surreal parrot]

But those are easy searches anyway right ?

[stark narwhal]

I haven’t made any tags tbh

[sturdy kraken]

Same, I might though because the road to lvl 40 is a pain right now

[stark narwhal]

I finally caught a cub choo today. Might pop a glacial lure later this week when it’s supposed to snow and see if I can summon Cryogonal

[supple lake]

My friend caught a bunch of meltan but it won't let her transfer or turn them into candies. I don't have room on my phone to get PoGo to get a meltan or melmetal and was hoping she could give me a meltan. Is she missing something?

[sturdy kraken]

Red, you have to do it manually

As in, go into the page and hit transfer

[sturdy kraken]

Meltans count as mythicals, and so you have remove them by going into the page, hitting the options button, hitting transfer and confirming the transfer

[fossil nymph]

YESSS

I GOT HIM FINALLY!!!

Wait you were talking about meltan?

good timing

[solar mason]

its pretty dope they have shiny celebi coming

im always gonna be a fan of getting legit ways to get shiny mythicals

[charred rapids]

That’s always a fun find, perfect pvp stats

[stark narwhal]

@solar mason I’m going to have to move my Celebi over from Crystal so I can have the shiny Celebi in Sw/Sh

Nice Melmetal! If you need any name inspiration for it here are mine.

Also someone asked what tags people have created so I’ll post those too

[stark narwhal]

What are you using to check the IV's?

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 95

[stark narwhal]

NOT CACTURNE AGAIN

[paper reef]

Lol

Me or MetalJesus?

[stark narwhal]

You

[paper reef]

I just base them off their stats and the stars

I know it’s not the proper way but it works

[stark narwhal]

I ran through all mine last night and I only had two 100%. A kangaskhan and Jolteon, both under 2k CP

Not sure what they're good for tbh

I've seen people say that rocket battles scale but I got plastered when I tried to use them.

[paper reef]

Sometimes it can really depend on the move and how much damage to hit you on. If you’re taking more damage then they are at a faster speed then most likely you’ll get flattened

[karmic raven]

Was about to stop playing and saw this weedle spawn and it was a shiny

[paper reef]

Nice!

You can have a shiny mega beedrill

These are my only shinies

[karmic raven]

Did you transfer other shinies?

[paper reef]

Nope, these are just the only Shinies I’ve ever caught

[stark narwhal]

I honestly had a bunch and then moved Deoxys, Terrakion, a Grovyle, Nidoran, Skarmory, and a Dragonit

[paper reef]

Shinies in PoGo seem to be pretty rare

[karmic raven]

You haven’t participated in community days?

[opal peak]

It varies. On community days, the shiny rate is boosted.

[karmic raven]

^

[opal peak]

But according to reports, the shiny rates for a regular Pokémon is about 1 in 450.

[paper reef]

Only Electribuzz and Magmar a month ago

[stark narwhal]

Yeah I got two shiny Magikarps, and two shiny Porygons a while back when they had community days

[opal peak]

If only we had an AR channel for Go.

[paper reef]

I started in 2016 on July 7th, the day after release but I played for like 3 months, spoofed, quit until 2019 to play for like a week, stopped again and only just really started into the game recently.

[opal peak]

I have a truck load of AR shots.

[paper reef]

I hate AR, it’s too unstable on IOS14

[stark narwhal]

Here’s what we are working with now.

Christ on a bike

[paper reef]

I had to completely restart my phone by using the emergency restart buttons to access anything. I couldn’t close out the game, I could only swipe down to see the time and weather but the phone wouldn’t lock when I told it too and it I couldn’t hold the power button to turn it off.

It basically temporarily bricked my phone

Wait send those charmanders again

I didn’t see all of them, I was still looking at it

[stark narwhal]

I'm looking forward to finding a way to get Mewtwo again. I missed it before. Also, I was in a emotional funk during Darkrai and Giratina so I didn't go after them :/

[paper reef]

Woah, nice. Lots of Shinies.

[karmic raven]

That shiny gible is 96%

[stark narwhal]

I'm just glad I have a Gible at all

[karmic raven]

[paper reef]

Nice

[karmic raven]

I just can’t decide what to evolve the ever into

[stark narwhal]

Well the only ones you have a matter in are Leafeon and Glaceon right? I know you have directly force that one

Mine ended up as Flareon.....

[paper reef]

Ooh! I see a shiny Eevee, I’ll take it

I’d enjoy a Shiny Umbreon

[stark narwhal]

I nicknamed a Burmy Wormonger. I think it's one of my most clever ideas

I'm glad its 1k for candy

[paper reef]

Here is my cutest mon by far I have.

[karmic raven]

Ima wait till sylveon comes out and evolve it into that

[stark narwhal]

I've a 90ish% Eevee that I'm holding onto for Sylveon with 939 CP. Looking forward to it. Not looking forward to pulling my hair out over finding and then Evolving Noibat

[charred rapids]

13 more and I’ve hit a goat

[paper reef]

Why isn’t Magnezone in the game? I’ve been wanting to evolve my Magmeton for a while now

[stark narwhal]

You mean this?

[charred rapids]

It is in the game lol

You have to evolve it on a metal lure.

[stark narwhal]

100 Magneton candy and a Magnetic lure will do it.

[paper reef]

Slyveon should be in game though. They release the whole Kalos region didn’t they? Or do they slowly roll out more pokemon from the region after they first announce it?

Ahh that makes sense

[stark narwhal]

Also, 50 Nosepass Candy and the Magnetic lure for Probopass.

[paper reef]

Thank you

[paper reef]

Yea

[stark narwhal]

They'll roll them out incrementally

[paper reef]

Okay

[stark narwhal]

Kecleon is still absent from gen 3 pokemon available in Go, so I wouldn't hold my breath

[paper reef]

I can’t wait to catch Xerneas, Yvetal, & Zygarde

Xerneas will be like my main legendary

I love it so much

Kyogre too if I can ever get one

[stark narwhal]

Thank God power construct will be not used by Zygarde in Go

[paper reef]

Shame, that would be amazing

[stark narwhal]

Too terrifying

[paper reef]

Exactly lol

[karmic raven]

Mega shiny beedrill or just beedrill in general has to be my favorite bug type Pokémon no bug can top this beauty

[stark narwhal]

I wanna get the Mega's just for the dex, but I hate burning those remote raid passes :/

[karmic raven]

I missed out on Venusaur and blastoise mega

[stark narwhal]

Oh I just saw Charizard and assumed they were too but now that you mention I know realize I haven't seen anything but Gengar, Charizard and Abomasnow. I suppose I should get while the getting's good

[karmic raven]

Yeah those are the only Megas that will appear now but lucky me I can walk to a gym nearby me and I don’t need to use a remote raid pass

[charred rapids]

They’ll change with the seasons.

[stark narwhal]

Remote is basically my only option. I see plenty of people dropping mons off in gyms in my town, but I haven't been able to locate any community pages online.

[sturdy kraken]

@charred rapids Thanks mate, got more?

[crisp relic]

Omega Galaxy has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[paper reef]

That shiny Mega Beedrill looks amazingly deadly

Beautiful

[charred rapids]

Not at the moment mate

[karmic raven]

I never knew they changed because of seasons thanks for the info

[charred rapids]

It’s only fairly new, came out with the level 50 update, mega’s, Pokémon spawns etc. are now influenced by seasons

[sturdy kraken]

Anyone got a raid?

[stark narwhal]

It doesn't seem to different than what was spawning before the update tbh. Except I'm seeing a jillion Slakoth and Vigoroth

[karmic raven]

Check in #784549733690769448

Maybe there’s some there

[sturdy kraken]

I need 46k to get my daily min

No, there’s not sadly

[karmic raven]

I had kyurem like 20 min earlier

[stark narwhal]

Snorlax been cropping up more often though. I would like to see more Ice types roll around in my area, specificaly Snorunt would be nice

[karmic raven]

I got a cubchoo to spawn so that was nice

[stark narwhal]

It's supposed to snow Thursday, so I might go out for him if the roads aren't too bad

I just want to evolve it into a froslass lol

[sturdy kraken]

I’m hunting for lvl 40

I’m lvl 36

[karmic raven]

Isn’t Froslass only female

[sturdy kraken]

Yes

[stark narwhal]

Yeah.

[paper reef]

Do some Pokémon only evolve in snowy weather?

[gilded rune]

I just caught a male Nidoqueen.

[karmic raven]

[stark narwhal]

Eevee into Glaceon with a Glacial Lure and 25? candy

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 96

[paper reef]

That’s not fair to the people who live in scoldering hot places like the Desert

[analog steeple]

Me

[stark narwhal]

Weather isn't depended on Eevee evolving into Glaceon. I think I evolved back in September

[paper reef]

You don’t have to use a Glacial lure. There is a trick with evolving eevees by naming them but it only works once

[gilded rune]

Rea

[paper reef]

Yep

[stark narwhal]

Well I used the Lure if I remember correctly

[paper reef]

I looked it up the other day. I evolved mine with the name Rea

[gilded rune]

There was a name for leafeon too

[paper reef]

There’s a whole chart online I looked up

[paper reef]

I found it here you go

[sturdy kraken]

It worked twice for me

[stark narwhal]

For some reason my Vaperon is named Gwip

[sturdy kraken]

1st in 2016 and 2nd this year

[stark narwhal]

Are Darumaka supposed to show up in the wild? I've only recieved them through research tasks and weekly research enoutners

[charred rapids]

Man this 100 rocket grunt task is such a grind

[sturdy kraken]

You get used to it

[stark narwhal]

Well it becomes 1000 sooo

[charred rapids]

No that’s not what I mean guys....

[sturdy kraken]

It’s too easy?

[charred rapids]

I have over 2,000 rocket grunts completed, but it’s a task I need to do

[sturdy kraken]

Lol

[charred rapids]

To get 100 lol

[stark narwhal]

OH for the research

[charred rapids]

No for level 45

[karmic raven]

Wow

[charred rapids]

100 rocket grunts beaten, 50 leaders beaten, 100 Pokémon purified

[stark narwhal]

Sounds not worth the trouble to get to Level 50. I recall seeing some absolutely unfair tasks for some of those levels

[sturdy kraken]

That’s the point

[charred rapids]

The tasks aren’t the issue, the rewards are.

They are atrocious to say the least

[sturdy kraken]

Absolutely nothing?

[charred rapids]

No, but not rewards worth the grind.

Couple of incubators here and there, some passes if ya lucky, basically rewards equaling or even worse than level 40 rewards.

Poses and some clothes, nothing crazy good, there’s been a lot of backlash for the lack of value in levelling up. I’m just doing it to get it out of the way.

[stark narwhal]

Does anyone know if Espurr will start appearing in the wild after the Kalos Celebration ends? Also, does Timburr only appear in raids?

[paper reef]

Quick fashion question

What hat looks best? The Aqua Bandana & Leaf’s Hat are my two favorite hats.

[stark narwhal]

option 1

[paper reef]

The Aqua bandana makes me look like a bad guy and Leaf’s hat makes me look like a protagonist

[charred rapids]

I wouldn’t take this as facts but espurr might end up being that raid specific mon like shinx and klink started out as and eventually move to eggs

[stark narwhal]

yuck

[charred rapids]

Just a possibility.

[stark narwhal]

I wonder how I ever managed to get a Luxray

Is Sandile in Go yet?

[sturdy kraken]

Yes

[paper reef]

Thanks for the thoughts. I’ll still try to change my outfit up if I can but I like this one a lot with the bandana

[stark narwhal]

Np

I hope one of these 7k eggs in G-Farfetch'd. Somehow I totally missed that whole event

[karmic raven]

^same

[paper reef]

I honestly wish there was a separate option for earrings so you can have earrings and hats on. I love the pearl earrings

[charred rapids]

Sandile is specifically in 12km eggs only obtained through beating a rocket leader

[paper reef]

Plus a facial piercing option would be so cool

[charred rapids]

And make sure ya have space 😉

[paper reef]

or a belly button piercing

[stark narwhal]

I wish i could find an Omanyte and an Aerodactyl for this research

[stark narwhal]

How stupidly specfic

[charred rapids]

A facial piercing for my MASSIVE SEPTUM DOOR KNOCKER

[paper reef]

I would have a lip and nose piercing and a belly pierce

[stark narwhal]

Cmon niantic

[paper reef]

Lol, just a MASSIVE gage stretching the nose by like 6 inches lol

[charred rapids]

Oh and sandile is the rare hatch, you’ll most likely go through 30 trubbish and 20 absol first

[stark narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-powerrangers-gif-7898282

[paper reef]

We should be allowes makeup options too

I want some red lipstick

[charred rapids]

6 inches?

There’s no nose left....

Mines 6mm

[paper reef]

Yes, a massive gage. Let me see if I can find one

[stark narwhal]

I wonder if a Magnetic lure could attract Omanyte and Aerodactyl

[charred rapids]

If you’re going to post facial piercings in a Pokémon related channel, probably should think about it first

[paper reef]

One of these but the shit they put on earlobes that are massive.

Like 3x bigger then this one^ lol

[stark narwhal]

That seems like it would make it difficult to sneeze properly

[charred rapids]

Nah it’s not.

Ya sneeze like normal.

[stark narwhal]

so it doesn't come out the side?

[paper reef]

Oh my god, would having a gauge be like having an extra exhaust pipe on a car but for your sneezes to fly outward sideways at others like a weapon?

[charred rapids]

Many misconceptions about large septum piercings or nostril piercings.

[sturdy kraken]

Ok

I’m gonna be ultras with a guy named kraken12591

Ik they’re in this server but I don’t remember their name

I need them to send me a gift so I can coordinate the egg of get 100k

[stark narwhal]

that....seems excessive

[sturdy kraken]

It is very much so

[charred rapids]

Hey it’s Pauly impossible

[stark narwhal]

I imagine it you would have to take most of those out before bed

[paper reef]

Well yeah, but small basic regular ones would be cool. But massive ones like that as an april fools day gift would be funny

[stark narwhal]

(I have no piercings, so I don't know the normal hygienic protocols)

[charred rapids]

Alright that’s enough.

I’m all grand for piercings and tats, I have a few, but keep it related to the chat.

[paper reef]

Okay

I have a tattoo on my arm of a dragon on fire. I plan on getting it either converted to have a rose blended with it or put a rose somewhere on my back like my left side or something.

I’ma delete those guys. I guess those can be a bit disturbing.

They’re starting to bother me too now

[karmic raven]

I seriously just released my hundo spheal

[paper reef]

Hundo?

I don’t think hundo is a word

[karmic raven]

Well people call 100 Pokémon hundo

Hundred just shortened up

[analog steeple]

It’s a slang

[paper reef]

There’s no need to shorten it. It’s a 2 letter difference. Just as easy to type those 2 letters in, but that’s my view on it.

Okay I guess I’ve heard people say hundo in music videos but I never payed attention to it until now

[charred rapids]

Except you can also combine hundo with shundo (shiny hundred) or shilundo (shiny lucky hundo) it’s not just about the one word.

[karmic raven]

Shilundo oh I never heard that one before

[paper reef]

Oh god lol

[charred rapids]

Yeah got that shilundo Moltres

[sturdy kraken]

Hey, is it just me, or are friends list down?

[crude nacelle]

we talking about shilundos?

[paper reef]

I’ll check mine

[sturdy kraken]

Nvm

[stark narwhal]

Mines working

[sturdy kraken]

It’s back now

[paper reef]

Working good. You’re online

Ah okay

[sturdy kraken]

And nvm again!

[charred rapids]

We talking about how they never heard the term shilundo before

[crude nacelle]

Restart the app and try again.

[charred rapids]

[sturdy kraken]

I did

[crude nacelle]

I personally don't like the term "shilundo".
Just feels weird.

shundo and hundo roll off the tongue tho

[stark narwhal]

Shilundo sounds Like a character from Yakuza

[charred rapids]

Congratulations It's Actually Chris! Your Cacturne leveled up to level 97

[paper reef]

I think it’s stupid how when I set it to show Online players at the top it never properly shows it. It shows like maybe 1 person at the top of the list if 3 people are online like 1 out of every 10 times. So very rarely does it ever load properly but it still shows people are online but sometimes it doesn’t also

[charred rapids]

It exists regardless, it is a term in the community.

[paper reef]

I’ve had people who are set to online but it doesn’t say they are

[karmic raven]

My first mega raid was a success

[paper reef]

The friends list is pretty buggy

[crude nacelle]

This game is pretty buggy*

[paper reef]

Congrats!

[analog steeple]

I solve it by not having friends

[paper reef]

Darn, my Ice Chicken, Franklin went back into it’s Pokéball.

[stark narwhal]

Hey for the research task in A thousand year slumber "Win against another trainer 7 times, I tried in the Go Battle league but my wins didn't count. Does it have to be a friend?

[crude nacelle]

Yeah, they never updated that quest for GBL.

[paper reef]

This is Franklin my Ice Chicken. Be nice or he’ll deep freeze and eat you.

[stark narwhal]

LAME

I now have to wait until Christmas to finish it then

[charred rapids]

This is why alts are handy

[crude nacelle]

You could just add someone here and have them throw 7 games

[charred rapids]

I battle myself like a weeb with no friends it’s great

[stark narwhal]

you can't trade with your alt account?

[paper reef]

I have 2 alts now. I love choosing the outfits and the teams.

[paper reef]

I did

[stark narwhal]

WHAT

[charred rapids]

Yes lol xD

[crude nacelle]

yeah alts are nice

[paper reef]

It’s how I got my Lucky Fennekin

[stark narwhal]

I have my old iPhone so this is a game changer

[charred rapids]

I mean, you’d need a second device obviously.

[crude nacelle]

it's how i finished the 20 wins in each league 😂

[charred rapids]

What iPhone?

[paper reef]

Me?

[crude nacelle]

Be aware that it has to be an iPhone that can update to iOS 14

[charred rapids]

Just make sure it’s compatible

[paper reef]

Oh I didn’t see them say that nvm

[stark narwhal]

7+ should be able

[paper reef]

I use my Iphone 11, Iphone 6, & Ipad Gen 5 for my Go accounts.

I want the 12 but my phone is only half payed off and I still have $545.00 left which will take 15 months to finish paying off so hopefully I can get the Iphone 13 or 14 by the time they come out

[karmic raven]

Man things sure are expensive

[paper reef]

I wish I had my 8 still as a backup phone but I traded it in half paid as my part of my upgrade plan for my 11. If I had finished paying it off I would have been able to upgrade and keep the phone.

[stark narwhal]

I bought an 11 because I couldn't hear people on the phone unless I had airpods in. Headphones wouldn't work and normally answering the phone wouldn't either. Plus the battery sucked

[sturdy kraken]

12 mil exp to go

[charred rapids]

Yeah 7 should be good for quite some time.

[paper reef]

11’s are pretty nice.

Good luck!

It’s going to take you 2 months but I’m wishing you luck

[sturdy kraken]

Thanks, I earned over 500k exp today

[stark narwhal]

2 months to what

[paper reef]

Get 2mil exp

[stark narwhal]

oh that wasn't for me lol

[sturdy kraken]

earned 500k exp today

[charred rapids]

Yeah no it won’t take two months lol

[sturdy kraken]

I’ve been earning around 500k the past few days

[karmic raven]

Friendship xp is the best way to level up fast

[paper reef]

2mil is a ton of exp. If you earned 500k today then maybe 2week I guess

[sturdy kraken]

Ik

[charred rapids]

XP grind is easy with raid hours, spotlight hours, consecutive excellent catches etc.

[sturdy kraken]

Sarah

500k is 1/2 of 1 mil

[crude nacelle]

Wow, that's insane. Good job my guy

[paper reef]

Hi

Ah, for some reason I was thinking it was double that.

[sturdy kraken]

Thanks krab

[charred rapids]

Would take less than a couple of weeks to get 2 mil if you’re dedicated enough, easy in cities too.

[karmic raven]

I think I’ll save up my pokecoins for remote raid passes that way I can do some near me and some from a far

[sturdy kraken]

I’ve realized raids are too damn expensive to rely on

[crude nacelle]

me, trying not to spend another $40 on GO tomorrow

[sturdy kraken]

I should reach 37 in the next 3 days

[charred rapids]

Rely on just raid hours, getting 10 raids done in an hour, 200k, best friends and ultra friends are another xp jackpot

[paper reef]

I have gifts sent out to all 48 friends but lots of people haven’t opened them yet

[sturdy kraken]

I’m trying to do it by year’s end, so only ultras can be relied on

[paper reef]

Yeah but not everyone has 10 remote raid passes

[charred rapids]

well you can only open 20 or 30 gifts? I don’t remember because I don’t care. I don’t open because I have 196 friends

[paper reef]

20 or 30 a day? I didn’t known that. I thought you could open them all. Most I’ve had at once was like 11

[solar mason]

if they made it without a limit people would just spam gifts

[charred rapids]

No you can only open very limited, unless there’s an event, where you may do 40 gifts per day.

[solar mason]

and friends

and level up

[charred rapids]

The issue isn’t spamming gifts, if it was unlimited 7km egg events would be broken

[paper reef]

From the way you say that I’m assuming that you aren’t actually required to open a gift to gain exp from friends? But if that’s the case then you can’t keep earning exp until you open the gift from them to send you another one and earn that exp.

[charred rapids]

You gain xp for every level up on friendship you gain. Not every gift.

[solar mason]

yeah but one gift gives you the first level

[paper reef]

But friendship is only increased by joining raids, gifts, & trading right?

[solar mason]

so people would spam add new people, and just send them gifts

getting endless xp

[charred rapids]

Not if they kept the one interaction per day

Getting endless gifts doesn’t increase how many interactions you gain

[karmic raven]

I have 3 friend about to reach best ultra friend I can’t wait to pop a lucky egg and gain that xp

[paper reef]

I got 50k exp from getting my first 3heart friendship level with Eri yesterday.

[solar mason]

yeah but thats the thing people would exploit it

[paper reef]

I’m guessing 4 hearts is 100k

[solar mason]

too easy to find random new people from friend code rooms

[charred rapids]

It is, 200 on lucky egg.

[paper reef]

Wait lucky eggs work on friend exp too?

[solar mason]

yes

[charred rapids]

Yeeeee

[paper reef]

That’s just overkill but amazing

[charred rapids]

Double or nothing boi

[solar mason]

thats why youll get a bunch of people waiting at the very last heart

they save them up to use with a egg

[charred rapids]

It’s not overkill knowing it’s 176 million xp to level 50

[paper reef]

I need to stock up on eggs. I just used them every time right before a raid

[solar mason]

oof

[paper reef]

I had like 10 at one point and burnt through them

[karmic raven]

I have 6 lucky eggs I’m planning to use one during community day

[paper reef]

Good idea

[solar mason]

lucky eggs arent too hard to find but they arent easy

[charred rapids]

Great, excellent shot every magmar and electabuzz and you’ll be gaining close to 5k xp easy

[solar mason]

its those stardust ones that are really hard to get

[charred rapids]

I wonder how much xp you’d gain from lucky egging the whole com day

[charred rapids]

Over a mil easy.

[solar mason]

im just trying to get to 38 before 2021

[karmic raven]

Yeah but who has that much lucky eggs

[solar mason]

i got 8 right now

[karmic raven]

I got 6

[charred rapids]

I mean that would only be like 12 or so

[solar mason]

yee

[paper reef]

I need to save up on so many coins. I need to buy another bag upgrade, 8 eggs, & a magnetic lure

[solar mason]

do any of you spend money on it

[charred rapids]

That’s not too many, there’d be people with more lucky eggs than potions

[paper reef]

I spend money yeah but I try not to very much

[charred rapids]

Of course I do I don’t see why that’s such a talked about issue

[solar mason]

ive only spent on the pass days

[karmic raven]

I’m f2p but I’ll use money to buy the $3 starter pack for com day

[solar mason]

i dont think its a issue, just havent done it yet and not sure if its worth it

[paper reef]

An issue would be someone buying multiple of the $99.99 purchases

[solar mason]

yeah

like people do on games like ea and 2k

[paper reef]

Exactly

[sturdy kraken]

I paid, because I’m going all out.

[solar mason]

ive bought some remote passes last time moltres was available

[crude nacelle]

lmfao I've def spent $100 several times.

[sturdy kraken]

12 mil EXP to go, I was at 14 a few days ago

[charred rapids]

I pay because it’s fun, I earn my money and I kinda got everything I want

[paper reef]

I buy bulk of 400 pokeballs sometimes if I’m completely out of all 3 balls and I can’t go anywhere for a few days

[charred rapids]

Yeah there’s been multiple times I’ve spent $100 or more at a time

[paper reef]

Or if I know I’m going somewhere with no stops

[charred rapids]

I have a car that I don’t even use

I legit walk everywhere.

[paper reef]

The most I’ve spent so far is $19.99 as a single purchase but I’ve probably put at least $100.00 into the game by now

[charred rapids]

I’ve put enough into the game to buy a second hand car, a decent one.

No flex, just a sad story

[paper reef]

All those mini 0.99¢, $4.99, & $9.99 purchases really add up

Wow

[solar mason]

ive prob got about $20 total, but i also stopped playing for a while and only started because of covid

like i played alot at first

[paper reef]

I used to play Roblox back in the day and I put at least $3,000.00+ into the game.

[solar mason]

stopped around mid 2017 and now im back

[charred rapids]

We all have that one game or hobby that we’re willing to spend money on, to some it’s pogo :3

[paper reef]

I don’t play it anymore and my account is just sitting lol

[solar mason]

i use to do it with 2k, but then i realized i wasted alot of money over the years and those games reset each year, at least with pogo it doesnt just go away each year and start over

[paper reef]

Back then I was horrible at making money based decisions but I’m much better now

[charred rapids]

That and when pogo dies you’ll have a place to put all the shines

[solar mason]

yeah same, i also respected 2k more and it was more enjoyable then

[paper reef]

||Until PoGo 2 releases lol||

[solar mason]

i mainly stopped because i just felt sick giving them money after how bad it got

[charred rapids]

I mean the game has a few years still left in it, but like everything it shall fade

Throw them all onto home.

[karmic raven]

You think this is worth buying for com day?

[solar mason]

yeah but 2k is dif

[charred rapids]

Uhhh yes hahah

[solar mason]

they reset each year

[charred rapids]

The fact that incubators are $2 alone

[solar mason]

yeah that isnt terrible

[charred rapids]

Supers anyway.

[solar mason]

i would buy it if i could use my coins

[paper reef]

What do you all think the next console after the Nintendo Switch will be after it’s completely outdated and a new generation starts? I’m hoping for some kind of DS Switch Fusion

[solar mason]

its gonna be a while for that

[paper reef]

True

[charred rapids]

It will probably be a Nintendo donk

[solar mason]

switch is doing way to well

[paper reef]

Instead of the Switch it’ll be the Swap

[solar mason]

theyll prob just do a bunch of remakes but that arent needed

like switch pros

but the old can still play the games online

that way they dont need to really make a new design and can be lazy, and ride off the wave

like iphone

[charred rapids]

The switch also did really exceptional during COVID times, they sold out for months in Australia

[paper reef]

I hope they make a console compatible with all consoles going back to to Gamecube for physical copies. So DS, GBA, GameCube, Wii, & Switch games

[solar mason]

everywhere

it was trash, i had to buy a bundle from gamestop

[paper reef]

it’s be so cool to pop Pokemon Platinum into the TV

[solar mason]

i agree, but i would also just prefer them making it purchasable in the switch store

[charred rapids]

Yesssss

[solar mason]

that way i dont have to buy a new console

[paper reef]

I’ve heard rumors that the Switch Pro will be so new it won’t allow the current gen of Switch games to run on it but no one really knows

[solar mason]

just do more of what they did with mario

[charred rapids]

We need digital copies of the old games like they did with the ds

[solar mason]

i doubt that, people would be angry if they are forced to get a pro version, theyd lose money

[solar mason]

yeah that would be dope

[paper reef]

Well yea, obviously if it has the physical version then they’d have the Digital copy.

But I just want to feel the satisfaction of putting Emerald or Platinum into my TV physically.

Gamecube actually could but you needed an adapter and it was GBA games only

[solar mason]

yeah i get it, i experienced that by playing coliseum on my new tv

with the wii, those adapters work pretty solid

but id like for a remastering, just to make some older look better

[paper reef]

Yeah but that was on disk. Imagine a the actual cartridge. Just feels like it’d stir a bunch of good memories and be so nice to play them on a Flatscreen

[solar mason]

i feel like they could make an adapter, for disks, ds games, gameboy

sell it for a dumb amount of money too

[paper reef]

They have for multiple consoles but a brand new modern one would be nice

[solar mason]

and then there would be cheap offbrand ones

[charred rapids]

Digital copies don’t fade away unlike the cartridges

[solar mason]

yeah, id just love more remastered old hits

[charred rapids]

Having to continuously replace batteries and hope it doesn’t fall apart years later

[paper reef]

DS Lite had GBA SP, GBA SP could use GBA Color, Game Cube could do GBA, Wii could do GameCube

[solar mason]

yeah but then online became too popular

i think almost everyone i know buy digital only now

[paper reef]

Gamecube actually had a few games with online wifi servers but they all shit down ages ago

[solar mason]

they can make more money reselling an old game instead of just making backwards compatible a thing

[paper reef]

Few games have private networks that you can connect to with them still and play with others online

[solar mason]

i hooked up an emerald pc emulator to my flatscreen a while ago

that was pretty cool

[paper reef]

Well that could be a perk of doing a remake. Make it so it comes with some adapter and if you have the original game they can go inside of it or they give out a whole new reproduced cartridge of the old game and make it an exact copy in limited supply for the first year of the games release so even so the game would still come back out on the market temporarily 20 years later

[solar mason]

honestly im kinda tempted to buy the remakes of silver on the 3ds

[paper reef]

It could be like a anniversary edition with a special sticker on it slightly different then the original game

Original Silver?

[solar mason]

crystal

[paper reef]

I want to buy Crystal

[solar mason]

i missthought

lol

[paper reef]

Yeah Crystal is good.

[solar mason]

yeah its cool, i wish it was remastered for the switch

but 3ds aint bad

[paper reef]

I had a original copy of Silver but I don’t know what happened to it

[solar mason]

ive got all mine

like all of them actually

up to diamond and pearl

[paper reef]

It’s long gone. I think in middle school my grandma made me give it back to my friend who gave it to me for my birthday

But I can’t remember if I did or not

[solar mason]

they worth anything?

[paper reef]

I just know I don’t have it anymore

[solar mason]

i might sell some

if they are

[paper reef]

They can go for $70 in some places

[solar mason]

thats not bad

im also thinking about looking through my old card collection, its old because a good chunk of it was my brothers from the 90s

[paper reef]

I have about half my original games left. 10 of them were stolen by an old friend. Hate him with extreme prejudice now but I just hope whoever he sold them to is happy to have a good game, wether they reset it or not.

[solar mason]

my cards are more like mid 2000s

im sure he just wanted to play it himself

i had a friend like that

[paper reef]

Nope, he was too poor and didn’t have any consoles

[solar mason]

oh dang

[paper reef]

He sold them, it was well known he sold stuff he stole too

It was a very common thing he did

[solar mason]

lol nevermind

[paper reef]

||He had something called Kleptomania where he “had primal instincts to steal and couldn’t control it”||

||It’s a real condition but I think it’s bullshit||

||Don’t take other peoples shit||

||End of story||

||But no more of that. Just the thought of him makes me angry||

[paper reef]

Oh, speaking of cards. My friend had 3 classic ancient mew cards

[solar mason]

yeah i think i actually have some rare ones

and i always kept them in solid condition growing up

my brother messed up a couple of them

[rotund flare]

Nica, congratz

I‘ve seen three of the little frogger, since the event startet

Non of the new batsman. I‘d say, that is a classic niantic

[charred rapids]

Still a low number but I feel happy finding what I could in my small town

[rotund flare]

Yeah, but i really don‘t get the concept, tba

I mean, why would they release new mons and make it so hard to finde em? And we are talking about dex fillers here.

[charred rapids]

I suppose to keep them interesting for as long as they can, if they were super common people would just be over it first day, here people are still hunting them and excited about them, it keeps the hype going for new Pokémon.

I understand for other players it’s just an annoyance, but they are thinking big picture here.

[paper reef]

I’ve gotten so many Fennekin’s and Chesnauts but only 3 Froakies and I traded 2 in

[rotund flare]

You got a point, but with the ne XL Candies you can hunter really, really long, to get everything you need together. But not seeing one of the new mons since the beginning of the event is pretty whack

[paper reef]

There’s no XL candies in PoGo, you’re thinking of SwSh

[charred rapids]

Greninja is easily the most popular Pokémon in gen 6 and I think they know that, made it elusive probably for that reason.

No there is XL candy in pogo

Look to the side.

[paper reef]

There is Rare Candies & Pokémon Specific candies

What the hell, when did they add those?

[charred rapids]

Level 50 update, it’s okay to level up Pokémon specifically from 40 to 50.

[paper reef]

I thought they only had levels when you convert them to Home.

[charred rapids]

And a single regular Pokémon needs 296 XL candy to max out.

[rotund flare]

The levels are kind of hidden in pogo

[paper reef]

I know you posted a chart the other day of like 1-15 CP is like lvl 2 but I thought that only applied when transferring to Switch. I thought it was officially confirmed there were no levels in PoGo

Just CP

[charred rapids]

Which you can convert 100 normal candy to 1 XL, which would take 29,600 candy, or you can catch, trade and transfer for them, hatching is pretty good for them too.

No there is levels lol.

[crude nacelle]

You can only obtain XL Candy if you’re Level 40+

[paper reef]

So wait, you can convert normal candies to an XL candies now with this brand new Lvl 50 update?

Ah Lvl 40 okay

So it’s an old update then

[crude nacelle]

No, it came with the level cap increase

[charred rapids]

Per level the cp ranges depending on the IV, could have a level 20 bulbasaur having cp’s between 501 to 637 depending on the stats.

[paper reef]

Okay cool

[crude nacelle]

Which happened on December 1

[charred rapids]

Some aussies got a head start though, fleece king shouldn’t be long on to 49 by now, just gotta do his 25km 8 weeks in a row

[crude nacelle]

It’ll be mid-January when he gets there 🙂

[charred rapids]

He should be one of the first, as soon as that happens we’ll find out the tasks for 49.

[crude nacelle]

I’m going to be at 44 for a while, 50 Rocket leaders is a tall order for me rn

[charred rapids]

Yeah the grunts is easy enough, knocked out another 30 today, but that 50 leaders was basically a hint to purchase radars. I ain’t doing that

[paper reef]

Can’t you look up online what the tasks are?

[crude nacelle]

They can’t be data mined

[paper reef]

I’m sure someone got to it already with insanely hardcore grinding

[charred rapids]

We can’t look them up if no ones gotten to them.

[crude nacelle]

There’s a task that requires 8 weeks of play

[paper reef]

Not data mining, I meant for people who already got it.

[charred rapids]

Level 48’s are legit stuck for 8 weeks

They have to do 25km walking every week for 8 weeks.

Some tasks make ya wait.

[paper reef]

Ahh okay. Wait, I don’t have any level up requirements tasks. When do they kick in? Lvl 30+ or everything after 40?

[crude nacelle]

41 and beyond

[paper reef]

Okay

[charred rapids]

Well level 40 technically.

[timber dew]

This chat is popping off lately. Makes me happy.

[charred rapids]

You get tasks when ya hit 40.

[crude nacelle]

That’s only until December 31

[charred rapids]

Oh hey Soph

[crude nacelle]

Then they go away forever

[paper reef]

My house is so quite right now that I just barely heard a car alarm like 3 streets away.

[timber dew]

Hey mate! All good?

[paper reef]

It stopped but it was confusing what the sound was at first

[charred rapids]

Yeah my grinding is slow, about to come to a stop, gotta go back to work sometime in the next month

Won’t be levelling up at all then.

[paper reef]

I thought my ears were just ringing for a second

Can I see what tasks look like or where they show up at really quick?

[twilit sapphire]

tasks spoilers

[charred rapids]

They show up like dis

[crude nacelle]

sad Trainer noises

[charred rapids]

There’s been a lot more spoiled than just level 45 though

[paper reef]

Yeah but where?

[charred rapids]

On your trainer profile, right next to the xp bar

[crude nacelle]

I usually check https://Reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad

[paper reef]

Are they a requirement to gain the next level or are they just mini bonus challenges?

[timber dew]

With these tasks I can understand you literally have to spend more than half day with pogo in your hand if you wanna get anywhere. I’m still out here trying to reach level 40

[paper reef]

If they’re required I’m guessing you could be literally 1exp away and it will not allow you to progress without them

[charred rapids]

certain amounts of xp is required to move on with the completion of every task

[crude nacelle]

Yep, you have to have the required xp and complete the tasks to hit the next level

[charred rapids]

For example I need 13,000,000mil xp for the next level.

But I have 54mil over the required xp needed, because how much I played. Others will need to grind that, you for instance, that will gradually increase as you level up, 176 million xp is needed between when you start and level 50.

[paper reef]

Ah see there’s where the tasks are

[timber dew]

1 7 6 million

[charred rapids]

Correct

[crude nacelle]

To put that into perspective, 20m total xp is required to go from start to level 40

[paper reef]

Does EXP convert over to the next level or does it just take it all like an ass move and restart you at the next level?

[charred rapids]

And we haven’t even seen the tasks for 49 and 50 yet, I’m gonna assume 50 is gonna be a b*tch though

[crude nacelle]

45 and 48 are both a bitch, so yeah 😂

[charred rapids]

45 is dreadful, 48 is just time consuming.

[paper reef]

I really want the Lvl 50 black jacket in the shop

[crude nacelle]

48 means I have to go to the park consistently 🤧

[charred rapids]

For?

[crude nacelle]

The distance

[charred rapids]

Oh I’m not too worried about the distance weekly 25 is what I do on my slow weeks, kinda glad it’s not 50

[paper reef]

I just drive everywhere, it seems to register it fine as long as the game is closed and it’s only tracking distance.

[charred rapids]

Driving boooooo
