The best i got was a lucky 15/14/15 one 
shiny? 
Shark the best meltan ive gotten is a 14/14/14 
no just lucky 
My sandshrew isn’t that good, it has no stars in the IVS 
BUT it’s still a shiny and it’s awesome
My best melty boi is 13/15/15
im not doing shiny trades with alt until last friendship thing 
Poly told me to wait for a hundo
yes
so im trying 
im trying yes 
same. I've got Great League rank 7 and Master League rank 5 so far
You can't at the moment
there was a weekend event back in late Nov where you could
Oh yeah, I got two of them!
11/22 is when mine is from.
But I wasn’t sure if it ended or not
That weekend it was over
same 11/22
Let me see what the IVS on mine are
11/4/5 for my shiny, but I know an IRL player who wants to swap once we hit lucky friends
Mine doesn’t really have the best IVS at all

i was just excited to get a shiny one with my Ot 
I evolved one of mine and brought it to SWSH, my other one is still unevolved and I plan to keep it here
Anyone know how or what Pokémon can be ditto?
yeah. and especially mons with their shiny already released
feels like a bit of a copout
Paras
Hoothoot
Spinarak
Hoppip
Remoraid
Whismur
Gulpin
Numel
Bidoof
Foongus
Any of those...mine was a hoot hoot
I need candy for my almost 4* machoke so I’m down tbh
Is there a chance for Victini to be shiny from the Special Research
no
dose the shiny celibi event have a time limit?

Once you accepted the research and started it, never
this whole in tire time iv been worried about the egg's , i have everything done just need to hatch 2 egg's but i can't leave my house
Yeah, you can finish it at your own pace without worry if you're already at that point
ok thx a bunch
Aimee 
I love these info graphics, ty to everyone who posts them (:
How do we enter the code listed by Serebii today?
What code ?
I just slipped on some ice on my pavilion and cut my leg pretty good
Just got the pokeball plus I fear using it now because all Pokémon escape after one ball fails
what if it’s a shiny that it misses
you wont know
What are the odds of a shiny treeko
treecko is just default odds, right?
There's the code
1 in 450 I think
Yeah, 1/500 or something like that
U can enter codes?
Yeh
in the in game shop, all the way down
there's a space to enter codes
it works different on ios tho, ios has other process for them
EGG 🥚

Is it possible to beat a gym where someone is spam healing it? I sat at a gym for 30 minutes and every time it would be full health the next attempt
Here's the code for easier copy paste
It doesn't show Niantic club
yeah but you gotta be kinda patient
there is a time limit of how much they can heal the gym but it takes a little while
That's what I signed into
Maximum to feed is the usual 10 berries in half an hour per defender
oh 
well basically it says it needs to be google or fb
let me see if i can found something 
good looks on the code
Ty Aimee!
Lol I just realized it doesn't show froakie or any of his evos in the new loading screen but it shows fennekin and chespin cuz froakie doesn't really exist
Ear thingie so cute tho
By a while, how long are we talking because it was well over 30 minutes that I was fighting it and they were full every time
[Message Link](#pogo_discussion message) to #pogo_discussion
Maximum to feed is the usual 10 berries in half an hour per defender
looks like everyone defending the gym is feeding so it might as well be hard
I think he's on the Abomasnow's head
Hey guys does anyone know how many eggs you need to hatch for celebi?
For one of the quests - part of part 2 I wanna say
i think 3?
3
Great! Thanks!
Good luck 
@analog steeple u using IOS to redeem?
I’m trying but it keeps giving me an error message
I put my google account on it
Signed it with it or FB
And was done really quickly 
Aimee
Did u see the new mons for christmas


TheSilph Subreddit has everything up. Boosted Marills are pretty dope if right.
So I have my shiny eevee ready to evolve into anything. I walked it 10 KM, got a glacial lure and a mossy lure and can do the name trick on another account possibly. I’m just curious which eeveelution might be the best competitively in battling such as a the premier ball league since it is very good IV! However, I may wait till sylveon comes out but I want input!
I love like all of the eeveelutions shinies so it’s really hard to choose 
i was literally in exactly the same situation as you like 10 minutes ago, just caught a shiny eevee with good ivs and stuff, i chose espeon because it looks cool and i feel like i can get the most out of the max attack iv i have for battling
I was thinking leafeon, sylveon (when it comes out), Vaporeon (one of my favorite eeveelution shinies if not my favorite) or espeon or umbreon since I walked it so far XD
Oh yeah glaceon too
Basically anything except for flareon and jolteon
generally, ive heard that espeon and glaceon and vaporeon are the best for battles
Ooh, but the question is whether to wait for glaceon
SYLVEON NOT GLACEON*
I mean, has fairy type held up within competitive?
I haven’t actually seen fairy used that much within POGO
Lol I just had something cool happen
There was all three jhoto or sinnoh starters treecko mudkip and torchic and then a poocheyena
im trying to roll one of my good eevees into a vaporeon or jolteon but i keep getting flareons 
4 flareon 3* in a row
hoenn 

i swear nice/great/excellent does nothing
Lol I caught a regirock k when it was around on an accidental nice throw
Alright I gtg cya
F
hi is it possible to trade in pokemon go?
@marsh fulcrum you have to be physically close to someone to be able to
;-;
You can also only trade each pokemon once 😦
Was the Jirachi special research a limited time event to get it?
If anyone has some time, I'm looking for a few more replies on a series of polls: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/kgey1m/how_are_we_spending_our_money_on_this_game/ (Update #2's poll is one that could use some more votes, but ONLY if you can imagine yourself buying any of the proposed packages- I don't want to say too much for fear of altering the results)
But either the first or the second shadow, I'm not sure which
Probably the second? Maybe?
I you purify the shadows their IVs will increase so that makes it not that clear to me
They're stronger if you don't purify though
actually I'm biased against the middle one purely because you got it in roxy LMAO
Low key post to flex Greninja 
my greninja looks funny
can u catch black kyurem?
I don't think any of the fusions have been released yet.
Do we have a pin for the event raid bosses yet?
I'm seeing Cryogonal and Vanillite online atm
i saw it said black kyurem raid
where? on a raid in your game?
I'm still confused about this "Black Kyurem" I'm about 95% sure they still haven't been released
So what’s up with not getting a free remote raid pass on mondays anymore
Also what’s today’s spotlight hour
We haven't weekly raid passes in a hot minute tbh. Sucks
Ik. It’s been almost a month. Kinda makes me mad
Oh seriously imagine doing a Kyurem raid for xp but this doubles it then (I think) you can pop a lucky egg and double that
I haven’t caught one yet so this is the perfect time for me
What happens when you beat a raid
I’ve never completed one
Also can you catch multiple of the same legendaries
And still get a shiny chance on them
You get a bunch of items dependent on the difficulty of the raid. Yes you can catch multiple legendaries. Some are shiny locked and some aren't. Deoxys and Darkrai were not shiny locked when they were raid bosses but as far as I know Kyurem is shiny locked.
Thanks!
I assume you get a chance to catch the legendary after you beat the Pokémon? And is it only one chance or can you keep trying
One chance per raid
You get like 12 premiere balls base
Oh it’s premiere balls
And more depending on how well you do and what level friends you went with
Anyways, I’m gonna be looking for mega raids.
Yes and no
its not in pogo yet
Ok good luck
This is registeel’s raid chart
I’m gonna start doing raids once I get 250 poke coins and can buy raid passes
I suggest saving them for regice raids. Regice can be shiny
I don’t care that much about shiny
I don’t spend money so the odds of getting a shiny are slim to none
I’ve learned to deal with it 
Almost 2000 SR in Shield for Regirock, I still haven't learned my lesson.
1860 eggs, no shiny scorbunny yet
💯
Lol
omg haha
Are registeel in raids
Nope he is gone
Omg
regice is coming
If you don't know how to redeem it, click on shop in game, go all the way down under "promos" and type the code.
It will be available until Jan01
Same
Also I just found out today is a Christmas event or something?
Any new hat pokemon or anything?
Yeah. Stantler, cubchu, pikachu, delibird
@odd glade
Cool. Also I just realized the event doesn’t start until 8am. I just wasted an incense.
Did you restart the App?
Yeah
Are you using iphone?
At least it goes until NYE
Oh cool, I didn’t see that part, I could have sworn I read it saying it starts today and ends tomorrow
Redeem it here if you are using an Apple device
https://rewards.nianticlabs.com/pokemongo/signin
I can’t redeem it on the site either because I’m up in the mountains with a single bar of signal almost constantly.
1 bar isn’t enough to load in a webpage properly
You can redeem it until Jan01
Right now I doubt I'll be able to spin any stops on Christmas or the days after. Supposed to get 7 inches of snow and subzero temps
Okay awesome
But I have at least caught a Cryogonal and a Vanillite so the available dex entries I needed have been filled
Thanks @odd glade
BigTasty2371108 has given 1 'General Rep' to Nala.
Melmetal and his child 😂


I live in the middle of nowhere, why the heck did a snorlax pop up
I've seen a lot of evolved pokemon lately, which is strange.
Like the past month or so.
Same here
I've seen some Raichus, some Pidgeots, but like I saw a wild Aggron!
Dangggg
I found a sceptile once, ran out of pokeballs tho
Still dont have one ;(
Is shiny delibird in game?
yes
purpabirb
And stantler
I've started getting more starters showing up in my area
yee
Awe the new event pika is so cute
you might need a new bed
Mannnn, the catch rate for Vanillite is pathetic
Um- so this was my first rudolph stantler
I’m only going to name one Rudolph if I get a shiny
I LOVE THE STANTLERS
No not yet.I think
Need perfect Snover.
It's literally impossible to find any other time of the year.
So if raid XP is doubled for the next day if I decide to use a Lucky Egg does that mean XP is x4?
Yeah basically
no, it's a 50/50 gender ratio
Farming day (yes I didn't play yesterday at all)
Yeps, pretty sure that's a part of the Season of Celebration
How the frick do I have 80 max revives
Here's my alt Account
And guess what
Oops lmao that was supposed to go to texts
(Not the pics)
oh... right
nothing stated about shiny so have to wait and see
Omg

If there’s a chance at shiny genesect rip my wallet
Shiny Genesect my boi. That’s got me burning mad money
Heatran and Kyogre/Groudon can be shiny too
I prefer hunting the regular legends in DA
Alex get ready for all my annoying raid invites 
I want a bug army
Red Genesect please !!!!!
it would be fitting since it will hold a Fire rom 
Yas!!
Possibly not shiny since it’s the only one not listed as a chance for it 
Still though. Bug army
😡
This may warrant a server announcement, since Genesect is in SwSh but is not widely available.
raids for january look nice
<@&663761167176433665>
Genesect (with Burn Drive) will be in 5-star raids in Pokémon GO from January 5 to January 12. Genesect's Shiny has been released before in Pokémon GO, but we are unsure if it will be available during that week. Regardless, this Genesect should be transferrable to Home and then to Sword/Shield. Maybe this warrants a News ping, since Genesect is relatively hard to get and is usually an event Pokémon. It will require that the player already has a Genesect in their boxes when transferring in.
Source: https://pokemongolive.com/post/jan2021-events/
To participate in a Raid in Pokémon GO, you need to use 1 Remote Raid Pass. Capture of the Genesect is not guaranteed. Remote Raid Passes are 100 coins for 1 or 250 coins for 3.
This may be a good way to advertise the Pokémon GO channels as well.
Ho-Oh, Heatran, Kyogre, Groudon, and a surprise Pokémon will also be appearing in Raids during January in different time frames.

bit odd that we're getting heatran again, considering we just got it in august
sorry doro, just wanted to let y'all know 🙂
but hey, i'll take it
Welp time to get ready to farm genesect
honestly i'm most excited for kyogre and groudon. hope we get dialga and palkia next month!
Taking this to mod serious thank you @crude nacelle 
dodobirb has given 1 'General Rep' to ArmorAbsKrabs.
No problem Doro!
iirc the Genesect won't transfer as heat drive though
:ilydorito:
It'll transfer in as normal
It won't, but you should be able to obtain the Drives in Sword/Shield.
I thought so 😂
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I still haven't moved my Genesect over to Sword from GO.
Do you have a Genesect in sword to transfer it in?
On the Ho-Oh, Heatran, Kyogre, and Groudon announcements, they mentioned Shiny. But not on the Genesect. 😦
This would be a good opportunity to test it
I do not.

Sure thing! Whenever you're free. I'm just playing League today.
We can only hope 
Prepare for all my raid invites 

Hack check team prepare for my many bug HC 
i think i'm going to do one ho-oh, skip heatran, maybe do one genesect, then go all out on kyogre and groudon
Hot take, Burn Drive Genesect is going to suck because it's not STAB.
this
Kyogre and Groudon are the real prize tbh.
Fantastic Pokémon, and we have a good chance to get Primal Reversion sometime in the next year.
Ye
I still prefer Garchomp for Ground-type, since it has 3x resistance to Electric. But Groudon is really good.
what do you think the 'surprise pokemon' will be?
Honestly no clue.
it could be really good or just average 
Could be one of the two Kyurem forms, could be Xerneas or Yveltal.
i dont think it'll be anything from september onwards that we've already have which narrows it down a lot

in september onwards, we've had (off the top of my head):
We still need Arceus tbh
Keldeo 
Heatran
Cresselia
Birds
Giratina-O
Darkrai
Lugia
Swords of Justice (par keldeo)
Lake Trio
Kyurem
Regis
I think that's all of them?
Oh lake trio!
Lake Trio stinky
good dex fillers
If only Uxie had good moves.
I'd have a reason to power one up.
it won't be mewtwo since we're getting that in go tour
or kanto birbs
mhm
There's no way the surprise Pokémon isn't a new Pokémon.
They wouldn't call it a surprise if it wasn't special
though i think they'd do some sort of research for manaphy
i was hoping a Shiny Greninja too 
With our luck, they'll give us a month of Phione 

xerneas/yveltal is a possibility but we just got gen 6, i think it might be a bit early to release the legendaries for gen 6, especially considering there are only 3 (bar mythicals)
Zygarde 
same reasoning for X/Y
Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde were in some promotional material for Gen 6 in GO.
keldeo seems highly possible, considering we got a rerun of the SoJ not too long ago
I want something actually good 
not a 8 dollar mr rime 
i think they (niantic) would release arceus on something special like a go fest
kyurem forms?
therian forms?
I think it would be something that doesn't come in pairs or trios.
that makes sense but they've done it before
ie lugia for anim week, giratina for halloween, ho-oh in january, etc
Lugia for Animation week was a reference to the first episode of the new anime, Giratina is because spoopy, and Ho-Oh is because they just decided to do a fire month I guess.
seems legit
We have now Genesect with Burn Disc, so i doubt that we will have kyurem/therian forms, they will probably announce it tofay
ooooo maybe it's a fire Pokemon.
They announced the "special Pokemon" thing today.
We won't get news for at least another month.
i don't think that would be possible unless they're releasing volcanion first which seems rather unlikely
if we go by everything we've said previously then i don't think it can be fire
MFW it's Rotom-H
don't think it'd be reshiram, and thats in a pair anyways
entei is in a trio though we haven't had it in a while
volcanion is a fire pokemon
Volcanion is Gen 7
6
volcanion's gen 6
na, unlikely
i know volcanion's a fire pokemon, but it seems early to release a mythical from the gen that just came out
lets just hope is either something good or something really nice or both 
My current guess is Kyurem-White.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Volcarona next month with all the Fire raids.
It's a Pokemon the community wants to see. And it's not fire, but it's kinda fire.
But you'll have people complaining that we just had Kyurem 
If we will have shiny option - no one will complain
bruh
It won't be shiny.
Ho-oh and Genesect coming back in january
So maybe we will receive something old, but with shiny option like dialga
back to the pain of not getting rainbow chicken shiny
I'd really like to get a perfect Ho-Oh, but I won't be super upset if I don't get one.
I'm confident that the surprise Pokemon will be Fire-type.
golden chicken
or related to Fire.
heatran
Heatran is appearing earlier in the month.
Leveling in pogo takes forever 
shiny heatran 
Doro 
You're telling me, leveling to 45 took me 2 weeks. 
oh oof
my writing is illegible, i'm aware. but if we don't use anything from post go fest, anything confirmed, or anything in a pair or duo, this is what i got from gen 5 onwards.
You'll get there, don't worry doro 🙂
regigigas i wasn't sure about cos i think it was a research mon originally but so was genesect
plot twitst, fire arceus
possible?
keldeos lore is related to fire, right?
I’m at 32. I farm raids whenever new ones come 
EX raids 
eh, sort of, but i don't think they could incorporate that into pogo
Aimee imma be going HAM on genesect
It was so cool to open my game every week to a new EX raid.
And it was like a community event every week. Show up to the EX gym, chill, raid, figure out who got the best CP.
I want a perfect
and then a few to trade in sword 
EX raids were cool but my neighbourhood never does raids locally
left a bad taste in my mouth
But it was really only super super special when it was Mewtwo.
Deoxys and Regigigas kinda sucked.
shiny victini
Oh, the city that I live near coordinated those. We also kept track of all the EX gyms before the tags.
It was relaly nice.
I have a couple Shadow Ball Mewtwo from back then 🦾
(From what I've seen) popular take:
go tour mewtwo should have gotten shadow ball and not psystrike again
I actually still have 13 for trade, but I don't think anyone wants them anymore for some reason.
Shadow ball alien cattos ex raids were fun 
wtf
Psystrike is suuuuuper good though.
everybody's jumping on the shadow mewtwo train
yall got legendarys-
damn
they're not too hard to come across nowadays
I just dont have a lot of things near me
19 are only the legacy ones
giovanni gave me his mewtwo last week
If you want total count
plus the like 15 mewtwos i've given here around the year

😮
I mean I have none so.
I need to ETM the Shadow Mewtwo tbh
same
i'm debating saving mine
I have 6 Elite Charge TMs because I keep saving them 
I need to actually use them now.
i know shadow mewtwo is insane but i only have one ECTM and haven't completed the december com day research for a charged and a fast
shadow mewtwo ins only one of a kind
not gonna purify it except that i actually have 3 shadow mewtwos but they look cool
I've got 2 Shadow Mewtwo, but did you hold a Radar until GO Fest or something?
1 from GO Fest and 2 radars I somehow got from somewhere 
oh lmao
Bruh that’s so many mewtwos 
How
I did a lot of raids.
lots of raids x2

the most raids i did was like 11 for gira
1 of the shinies are from a special event in my city, collab with 7-eleven
I have seen 170 Mewtwo and caught 145 of them.
Some were trades tbh, but most were raids.
JESUS CRHIST

i saw a spider on my wall just vibing and i got scared
he's going to a better place now
Before quarantine, one year ago 
Bruh
he's in a better place now
Look at how close everyone is
holy
No social distancing. Just vibes
ITS STILL ALIVE AND IT FELL UNDER MY BED
Also is that a pokeball ?
welp, looks like im not sleeping tonight
In the window?
no just on my wall
Or just unintentionally pokeball
oh-
Looking at the picture seems like a life time ago 
oh you were talking about that-
the pvp area of the event
I just looked at my Unown Dex entry.
Dude that’s so cool!!
426 seen, 226 caught 
That's insane.
and the count down of the surprise mewtwo raid no one expected
Mewtwo wasn't even in raids in those dates, we just got a special 1 mewtwo raid spawn at 9pm during the event in that place
now that we've talked about the surprise tier 5, what do you all think the surprise new mega's going to be?
We currently have
Venusaur
Charizard X
Charizard Y
Blastoise
Beedrill
Pidgeot
Houndoom
Abomasnow
I think they'll hold Glalie for next Winter.
Mewtwo has 2 megas and Diancie exists too but don't think they'll be around soonish
Mega Mewtwo wouldn't release before the Kanto event.
They're holding Mega Mewtwo, Mega Rayquaza, Primal Kyogre, and Primal Groudon for their big money 🤑 events.
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say Ampharos.
i think they're saving at least one kanto mega for the tour
it just makes sense to me
because Mareep hella spawning right now.
There's 0 way to predict though, since they're mixing XY Megas with ORAS Megas, as far as release goes.
mm
sounds like the perfect surprise of this next event
i think it's safe to assume it won't be banette or glalie, because spoopy and ice types for halloween and winter
I forget that Gengar released lmao
im gonna cross these off as we go along
i also think they'd be saving mega camerupt for summer event
Mega Slowbro, to go along with the 2020/2021 slowpoke/slowbro?
I don't think it's going to be something wildly popular
mega slowbro definitely possible
January 19 though, I think that's a bit late.
but i think camerupt is also going to be saved for a seasonal event
gonna post this for myself because the looks
Slowbro's got the right year at least 😉
yeah im just gonna use that one instead it looks cooler
most of the shinies kinda suck don't @ me
yeah gardevoir is awful
@crude nacelle
imy
I haven't touched Sword in 2 months 
I'm literally sitting in a League lobby rn
mood
no regionals
so no kang
and Heracross
Hera 
I'm really wanting to take a trip to south Texas to get some more Heracross.
But driving rn.
come here they spawn like crazy 
i think it's the only regional i've seen they spawn everywhere
I will trade you every single Tauros ever for Heracross spawns.

i'll give you a mime jr?
super down i don't have one.
same
MASSIVE POG
Take them
none of the shinies look cool to me lol
a friend of mine has a shiny Mime Jr. and I'm just like "how"
I love Bronzong. I’m hyped again
Also take regional Number 2 
following the same trend as the legendaries, if we go nothing from a pair, that eliminates a lot.
Oh Corsola's nice.
I caught some in Austin a couple years back.
I also don't think it'll be Salamence, Lucario, or Metagross.
those are very cash money to be released
or Tyranitar. Or the Hoenn starters.
i don't think we'd be getting garchomp either
dammit there's no Ox Mega.
Otherwise, I'd guess that for Chinese New Year.
im not gonna post another pic for a little while to avoid chat flood
but i crossed off gar
Oh I also feel like Gyarados won't be it either, they need to save that for a special event.
what sort of event?
Because Magikarp is really special.
eh, fair
I don't know, but I just feel like Gyarados won't be dropped on us randomly
i feel like it won't be a gen 1 since we've got the kanto tour coming up, but that's also reason for it to be a gen 1 mon?
Venusaur and Houndoom will be in Mega Raids at the same time, so it won't be something with type overlap I think.
Kanto Tour would probably introduce it closer to the event though?
mkay
WHAT IS HAPPENING
we take those.
if we're going with type overlap, we can't have any grass, poison, dark or fire types, which eliminates sableye, absol and sharpedo.
If they ever do a Team Flare event, Gyarados may also be introduced then. That was Lysandre's Mega.
good point
same thing with Camerupt and Sharpedo.
i already eliminated camerupt and sharpedo
We’ve got have boosted rates right now
These events actually just kind of write themselves.
camerupt because summer event, and sharpedo because dark type overlap with houndoom.
I'm still confident in Ampharos.
i mean i was sort of thinking ampharos
the remaining megas are these
i think scizor is a plausible bet?
potentially also scizor, yeah
i think steelix is less likely to happen
type overlap may not be a thing since charizard and houndoom were in raids at the same time
that's true
have fun!
😂
So many snovers holy shit
I haven’t seen any I was worried the event was snover 
All these snorunt and no shiny
Finally got Froslass at least
Are those Team GoRocket members tossing out leftover batches of Snorunts after a long day of hatching eggs at the daycare for a shiny?
Well
None of those pikas were shiny lol
What Pokemon are coming from incenses rn
probably the ones from the winter event
I knew I wouldn’t find a shiny but I expected a near perfect snorunt
Dang it meltan
I got a 15/0/15 Snorunt Is it any good?
Eh, I would transfer it, but if you have spare candy, why not use it?
Stop doing this to me Melton
meltan*
What the frick-
Well I mean it worked🤷🏼♂️ but it didn't show the evolution part
it happens 
sparkly boi
POGO means Pokemon Go, right?
yes
Saved up friends and popped a lucky egg?
Boy howdy I can’t stand Vanillite
you’ve gotta be kidding me
gunter from adventure time reference 
maaaaybe
I’ve had Gunter for almost three months now
Gunter II is a welcome surprise but like why couldn’t you have been Chimchar Gunter II, why
I’m also missing chimchar from the trio
I finally got a froslass
So close and good luck Omega!
I am completely out of all balls right now. 6/7 days ago I had 400+ of all 3 and I’m completely out now.
So I guess that means Turtwig’s shiny is out. I realize how low on balls I’m getting too
I’ve been hunting for a shiny cubchoo and nothing. I really want to evolve it into Beartic. Oh I’m constantly hunting for shiny starters every single time I see one spawn.
But now that the Cubchoos have the bow they can’t evolve
Why is Niantic so scared of Beartics with bows
Maybe they’re trying to make Beartic scary and maybe the bow with make it cuddly and friendly like a care bear type of bear
This gonna be a scrumptious rhyperior
Now I'm glad I haven't seen any shiny Cubchoo then.
hate these dumb event pokemon with no use...
they're just for collection lul
At least if you get a shiny event Stantler or Delibird you don't have to worry aboaut not being able to evolve it
Well I just did something crazy that I told myself I would never do. I paid for something in PoGo. Bought my ticket for the Research that leads to shiny Mew that happens in February. So nothing can stop me from getting a legit shiny Mew now and I’m feeling both happy and a bit conflicted as well.
I think it's worth it to support the developers of a game you enjoy playing.
If if the game is riddled with microtransactions.
It's not like you'll start spending half your paycheck on the game and become a huge whale like someone I know
coughmecough
It honestly should be worth it. From what I read there will be a lot of shiny Kanto Pokémon from this research. How long it is and what I need to do will definitely depend. Besides it’s only was $11.99. for an in-app purchase that is big but at least it’s not like $50.
From now and until February should be enough time for me to collect coins from gyms so I can get more Pokémon box space which I definitely need more of
Yeah krabs I feel you. I left a game with expensive micro transactions that piled up
That’s why I don’t mind dropping $10 or $20 to do a lot raids in pogo. For me it’s not bad but I understand people who don’t feel comfortable spending money
Daily progress update, gained 1 mil exp today, only 3 mil to go till level 40!
idk anybody else who plays within trading distance, so idk if itll be worth getting the tour pass...
It took me 20 days to go from lvl 35 to 39 and 2/5’s.
Ouch
You got this!

I'm mad cause I know if I kept up with it I could've made it to 40 by the end
unless there's a way to easily get 6 mill in a week 
Spend money and time.
If you spend money maybe yeah
Time I can do, money not so much

check your area on this map to see if there are any local discords!
i have kyurem raid hour in 40 mins
hatch a magikarp egg and its only 5 candy 
thanks, no luck unfortunately... nearest group is like 45mins drive from me
WobblyBits_X has given 1 'General Rep' to ArmorAbsKrabs.
There may still be local groups for you. I'd check Facebook.
doubt it, im rural...
nearest area with more than 1 or 2 players is like 10mins drive
The local town has a Facebook group for me, but they aren't listed on there.
I still drive 40 minutes to play with a more organized group lol
You'd be surprised.
I live in a small town and the neighboring town has about 16k people and they have a group!
Small = 1k people
my area is pretty small too, you also might be surprised at the differences of age groups and people in general
There's a lady in one of the groups that I raid with that is I think 65 years old. We were raiding with her one time and she said "I don't know what the f** this thing is, but it's cute as hell and I want it"

I think it was cressalia iirc
fuck shit piss ass
what a mood
that's me each time a new gen shows up

I just like seeing the age range of people that play it. Nice to know that it's so fun for a lot of folks other than the kids
omg why is vanillite so hard to catch
like 300cp, berry and ultra ball... still failing great curveballs consistently
Btw, just an FYI to everyone. If you need stardust, catch every delibird you see. It's automatically 500 stardust per catch.
Niantic's Employee 1: Hey, did you know that Vanillite is one of the most hated Pokemons ever?
Niantic's Employee 2: Yes, indeed.
Niantic Employee 1: ...
Niantic Employee 2: ...
Let's make it hella hard to catch!
Niantic Employee 1: What a brilliant idea!
Vanillite can pound sand I totally agree
I’m not even consistent with getting any bonus on the curveballs either
well ice is super effective vs ground...

is there any way to stop getting these scan field research
The current one I have will give me 80 Abomasnow energy and will be enough to mega evolve so I'm thinking about doing it. If you keep them in your research queue, it will not stop the three regular research tasks from coming up if I remember correclty
i toss them immediately
I want that entry in the mega dex. I'm so obsessed with collecting
Keep an AR quest around, as annoying as they are they turn any AR related pokestop quests into regular quests, you still collect 3 normal quests as well on top.
I don’t necessarily worry about scanning ones that are still there. I don’t scan the stops that aren’t there anymore because I don’t want to lose spots. Less spots equals less items
Yeah I heard about that, using this AR method to thin out pokestops, kinda bogus especially if you’re in a rural town that already has a limited amount.
I live in a town with only 10k people so I’d like to hold on the ones we have tbh
Some have already been removed here, even though the monuments/plaques etc. are still there, so kinda confused about it all.
That certainly doesn't make any sense
We had a building with an old Ford Model T on top of it and it's gone, but the stop remains, and a church that has since moved. I wonder if maybe we don't get much attention as a smaller city so Niantic isn't getting around to us perhaps
Also just saw Genesect is coming back. Now I can have one in Home and in PoGo. Sweet
finally found a froakie
Froakie is like caching a ratatta now that Vanillite has cursed my land
Giving out free master balls dm if intrested
This is the Pokémon Go channel. #surprise_giveaways is probably a better place to do this
Hey anyone know how to get a ditto?
A Mythical discovery has just been sitting in my tasks for so damn long at the ditto task.
Alright thanks
So many sick legendarys coming in January in raids
I wish I could nab a shiny Stantler
got a NUNDOOOOO
Where did all the stantler go?
guys i am trying to finsih the shiny celebi quest. yesterday i dident get jesse and james ballons only rocket grunt and the same thing again. do you guys have any tips to get jesse and james ballons
It is.
They're going to be super boosted on Friday so you'll definitely get it then.
Shark

ok thats good. just wondering can celebi flee and what happen if i dont have any pokeballs left
It will not flee. I'm pretty sure the mythical encounters always are caught on the third ball no matter what
Alex

yea
third try was for me
the hardest thing was aiming in AR 
i am new to pogo, right now there is raid going on for kyurem i am lv 21 with my hihest pokemon cp being 1123 mawile. like i cant defaet it myself so i nedd to invite other people right?
Most people of high level can't beat them by themselves. You need more people for sure
how do i invite other people
Tier 5 pokemon are meant to be beaten up with a group of players.
You can invite people on your friends list when you're in the waiting room of the raid.
There's a little green button above your pokemon on the right.
Generally you want to make sure they're aware of the raid before inviting them.
what does private group do? thats where i am supposed to click to join someone else raid
No someone else would invite you to a raid in it would show up orange were you normally see a list of the wild pokemon near. Swipe to the raid tab and join from there.
for Tier 5 raids try to have 5 people in the raid with people having counters
you dont need to waste passes 
and you can always ask peeps here if they can join you/or if you can join
Where did all the stantler go?

So guys, I have a 2-star shadow dratini and near hundo regular dratini. Which one should I use?
Near Hundo for ML
But shiny Snivy
So not so bad
And probably new mega will be from Hoenn/ legend Johto
If we will have these also based on regions
Hopefully I’ll get my fully evolved Gen 5 starters. Currently on the hunt for shiny Stantler and Delibirb. No luck
Shiny snivy really upset me.
That means no plans for a Snivy Community Day anytime soon.
I was also hoping for a new Pokémon to be introduced but I guess they want the event to be bland af
Maybe they’re still playing it close?

Snivy is the only one I have fully evolved
We will get cd of Snivy, sometime i hope
i also hate the fact of genesect not being available as shiny during this event
what's the point
no need to expend any passes then
I'd say that it's at least a dex entry (and you can get some for Home), but they'll be back again some other time with the shiny.
Well no stantler or delibird shiny but I found a snover so I’ve both it and obama shiny now
With the typing + fire techno blast, PVP relevance? Watching /r/thesilpharena to see if any math gets done there
i don't even do pvp so i could care less 
i mean, i would just do it just for having in the collection
So is any of the January raids going to be shiny potentially?
Aww man it’s shiny Snivy I just want shiny Yellow Pig
Wait that makes no sense though why would they suddenly decide to not have a starter CD
Niantic what are you doing
I don't want them to skip unova CDs for stinky greninja 
maybe they'll just do tepig and oshawott
dude im in the middle of a blizzard, I cant walk to a pokestop :C
At least I will be able to get some new entries in
Hopefully I can clean out enough eggs to get a Petilil
It's legendary dinner hour 
Can someone carry me in a kyurem raid?
Each wednesday at 6pm of your local time, there is a legendary raid almost everywhere! Originally called legendary lunch hour but is now called Legendary Raid hour.
Oh wow I never knew that.🤣
it's been around for almost a year
it started only a couple wednesdays every now and then but nowadays it's basically every wednesday
raid hour is funnn
I bet you can tell now that I’ve only recently picked back up PoGo. Excuse me my newb is showing lol
It's okay, we're not here to judge people's knowledge 
does caterpie evolve into kakuna
I thought they evolved into cascoon 
That’s their other branch evolution
wait didn't they evolve into Mothim 
didn't they say it evolved into dottler?
Has to be a male burmy for mothim
wdym
no no
caterpie evolve into mothim
it evolves from Blipbug
are y'all high
no no that’s weedle man
oh yeahh
no u
i think magikarp evolves in arceus
its a world legacy myth
woah you’re so knowledgeable capz 
yes ty
such knowledge
That was yesterday
That was yesterday 😔
And I missed it
, I thought it was today!
I’m new to the spotlight hours
It’s stats are 12/14/15
Woah! Congrats!
you just need to remember that spotlight hours are every tuesday
6pm
They also have bonuses like more stardust or 2x candy for transfer and etc.
The last one for December is Snover and it’s a 2x xp per evolving a Pokémon
I’ve already got a shiny of both so next Tuesday night can kiss it
Daily exp update: 3/5 through level 39! I gained 2 mil in 2 days!
You’re so close
And then the real challenge begins 
I should be able to reach level 40 by the end of the weekend
It’s been 21 days, I’ve gone from lvl 35 -> 39&3/5
Only need another 136 million xp to max then
My goal is legacy 40, not legacy 50
Noodle
Why did they decide to obliterate the xp from 36 up?
Yeeeeeees that’s me
I’ve taken a few pictures of my favorite pokestops. Most are what I’ve sent out before but If I remember when Isee a good one I’ll try to screenshot it lol.
Made a new friend at work today, he’s kinda sad though.
Is that a tick or a blister?
Fig burn turned blister.
Sounds painful
lol

Ouch
