Nope, mine has different moves then what I battled.

Omg there is a ryhdon raid! I need Rhydon candies!

I’ll have to check another server I’m in to see if I’m able to join one.

Is it possible to solo a 3star raid?

I really want these Rhydon candies.

[charred rapids]

It is with the right counters

[paper reef]

Do you want to join and help me take down Rhydon? I’m not good at countering and I probably don’t have good enough mons to do it

[charred rapids]

Rhydon quad weak to water, Kyogre would destroy em if you got the team, grass too

[paper reef]

I have 2 Kyogres

Not many grass types

[charred rapids]

I legit have no passes, I’ve barely played this week and suffering financially unfortunately

[paper reef]

Ah, hope you come out of that soon.

[charred rapids]

So do I

[paper reef]

Do you know what grass types would kill it best?

[charred rapids]

Roserade with razor leaf, chestnaught vine whip and energy ball

If you can power them up a bit more, or mega evolve a grass type maybe

Make sure your kyogres have waterfall and surf, surf isn’t the best but it’s spammy as heck.

[paper reef]

I used an Elite TM for Chesnaught for Vine Whip

[charred rapids]

Why’d you use an ETM for vine whip? ._.

[paper reef]

So I could have Chesnaught with it. It had some fighting move

[charred rapids]

Could use an ordinary fast tm

[paper reef]

There was 2 other moves and I didn’t want to get unlucky and get the other weaker move. So I made it guaranteed I’d get Vine Whip

I hate how they can only learn 2 moves if you swap them with a normal tm and if you want the other potential move it could have had you have to use an ETM

That’s why I did it

[charred rapids]

Every Pokémon has only about 2-3 fast moves, it wouldn’t of taken many, how many fast tm’s do you have?

[tight pilot]

You used an etm on what?!?

[charred rapids]

Chesty boi to get vine whip

[tight pilot]

Hit up Niantic support and ask for a refund and say it was an accident

I dunno if it’ll work but oh my im internally crying for you

[analog steeple]

Just lurking and crying don’t mind me

[paper reef]

I know, there was 3 moves in total, I think Rock Smash, Vine Whip, and some other grass type move. Even if I use a normal TM I’d have a 50/50 chance of getting the move I wanted, if I didn’t get it I would be permanently stuck between the fighting move and the bad grass move even if I burned through 100 tms to get the good one

[analog steeple]

How many fast TMs do you have?

[charred rapids]

Lurking and crying is a Cho hobby for sure

[paper reef]

I did the obvious most efficient route and used a ETM for a guaranteed move

[tight pilot]

Its what he does best

[charred rapids]

I’ve never burned more than 5 fast tm’s for the fast move, it’s the charge move on specific mons that annoy me

[analog steeple]

My “worst” was 4

[charred rapids]

Try Mew

[analog steeple]

And I raid enough I was happy to dump them all

[paper reef]

Do people not understand that if you use a Charged TM on any Pokémon even if there are 7 moves it can learn that once you use that tm to change moves randomly it will permanently lock between those two moves no matter how many Charged TMs you use?

[analog steeple]

That’s not true at all...

[paper reef]

The only way to change it from between those two is to use a ETM

[analog steeple]

I’ve definitely rerolled the same move many times

[charred rapids]

Yeah no it doesn’t lock between the two.

[paper reef]

Yes it is, I used to have 40 CTM’s and I burned through them all testing it and never once got a different move from the locked 2 moves

Yes it does

[analog steeple]

I’m happy to record myself doing it right now for ya

[paper reef]

I’ve tried it. recording it won’t change the fact it doesn’t change

[charred rapids]

Yeah I can record some proof too? It doesn’t lock, it’s just unlucky to be stuck between the two.

[tight pilot]

Yeah if the pokemon only has 2 moves then sure it’ll only learn those two, if it knows a third exclusive it’ll only be obtainable via a special event or via the use of an ETM

[silent reef]

That's cool, unfortunately we can't trade for 8k kilometers haha

[analog steeple]

Imma go record this happening cause this is just blatantly wrong

[charred rapids]

Take mew for instance, it can learn basically every move

[tight pilot]

Cho’s like “i got some fast tm’s to burn”

[charred rapids]

Will never be locked between two ever

[paper reef]

So you’re saying I got extremely unlucky burning through 40 CTMs without it swapping between the 2 moves to a 3rd different move?

[analog steeple]

I do. I do.

Yes you did

[paper reef]

What the hell

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’ve been there lol

[paper reef]

I’ve wasted like 15 ETMs

[tight pilot]

Yeah ive easily fed mew over 40 charged tms (regular)

[tight pilot]

This orrrrrr, that third move you wanted was an exclusive move! What was the pokemon / move?

[paper reef]

I don’t remember, it was a few months ago but I know it was some regular basic mon

[charred rapids]

Yeah depends on the Pokémon with the third move, Mitch about to drop some explanations for ya

[paper reef]

Well I don’t think Niantic will refund like 15 ETMs

[charred rapids]

No they won’t unfortunately.

[tight pilot]

Rip yeah no, ive had them refund me a fair number of remote raid passes tho ngl

[charred rapids]

Always keep your ETM’s for community day moves you’ve missed, legacy moves that Pokémon can no longer learn (blaziken and stone edge for instance).

[paper reef]

Well, I powered up Chesnaught and taught it Vine Whip so I guess I can try to do the Rhydon raid now

I got 22 mins left so I’ll have to finish preparing

Oh Yeah, I have my two Gyrados mains

[charred rapids]

Good luck! Use them Kyogre first for the damage

[paper reef]

I always Main Gyarados

[tight pilot]

Oh between two accounts you should be more than fine!

[charred rapids]

She’s only got one

[tight pilot]

Oh i read on my main

[paper reef]

I’m soloing it. I have 3 actually but they are trash

[tight pilot]

Ouuu noice

[charred rapids]

Change it to waterfall

[crude nacelle]

Gyarados will take SE damage from Rock moves if the raid boss has Rock btw.

[paper reef]

No, I main these 2^

[charred rapids]

Bite won’t do anything.

[paper reef]

Which one?

Okay

[charred rapids]

As Krabs said it will take super effective damage from rock types, use them as a last resort like a final push.

[crude nacelle]

never click aqua tail unless you're about to die

[paper reef]

Instantly got waterfall with a Fast TM

[charred rapids]

Definitely rely on your Kyogres and grass type, chesty will resist the rock moves real well being part fighting.

[crude nacelle]

gyarados is probably better for the TDO if it has Ground moves though
so that's nice.

[paper reef]

Really? I use Aqua Tail constantly

I use it as my main source of attack

[crude nacelle]

Hydro Pump gives better DPS than Aqua Tail.
But Aqua Tail is good if you're about to die. Because that Hydro Pump will do 0 damage if you can't build the energy up for it.

[tight pilot]

Yeah depends on moves that Rhydon has, if ground Gyarados will be higher tdo for sure

Especially the cp diff

[paper reef]

How’s this look?

[charred rapids]

If rock moves then definitely use the kyogre chest combo.

These are all quad effective to rhydon though, should do heavy damage

[tight pilot]

Aqua tail charges faster and was exclu comm day move is all , better ish for pvp but not rly any good tbh just nice to have extra there

[charred rapids]

OH MEGA EVOLVE YA GARY

[paper reef]

So rock, water, & grass all do lots of damage?

[charred rapids]

It loses the flying type 😮

[uncut trail]

cradily just stone edged a talonflame to its death

[paper reef]

Blue Gary is a Hundo

Red is basic stats

[charred rapids]

Mega evolve mega evolve, it will lose its weakness

[tight pilot]

OH YEAH and would muck it quick so smort Metal

[paper reef]

Okay

[tight pilot]

I forgot it went to dark

[uncut trail]

4-1 and 3-2 in great league

[crude nacelle]

rock does garbo damage to rhydon don't use that.

[uncut trail]

gunfisk saves the day

by literally 1 hp

[charred rapids]

YAAAAAS

you are ready!!!

[paper reef]

So far I have 2 Kyogres, 2 Garys (1 Mega), Chesnaught, and Roserade.

[crude nacelle]

Mega Gyarados is a monster
Mega Blastoise is worse

[tight pilot]

You got this EZ now

[paper reef]

Okay a full team

[charred rapids]

Should be able to solo a rhydon with that I reckon, what you think guys?

[paper reef]

Thanks

[crude nacelle]

likely

[tight pilot]

If you can, dodge charged attacks with the mega / heavy hitters

Like if you figure out the timing quick enough

[charred rapids]

Ahhhh she’ll be right, quad weak to water and grass, she now has a mega.

[crude nacelle]

I remember my first solo. I was so proud when I could solo Machamp.

[paper reef]

I usually can

Mega or Kyogre first?

[charred rapids]

Mega

[paper reef]

K thanks

[tight pilot]

I think my first solo was a Mawile when i was a lower level 30~ something

[crude nacelle]

I usually prefer Mega so it stays in longer.

[paper reef]

Brb

[charred rapids]

Dish out all that sweet damage right off the bat

[crude nacelle]

Because you're not switching in to a Pokemon that has energy built up.

[tight pilot]

Smack that bish rhydon around

[charred rapids]

I’m anxious to know now, rhydon isn’t really all that strong I’m sure she should be able to do it if not then we’re all to blame

[crude nacelle]

I've got an extra remote pass, I could jump in and help if needed.

but also. rhydon is in raids right now?

[charred rapids]

Yeah.

[crude nacelle]

weird i can't find it on pokebattler

[charred rapids]

Had to recheck, maybe it’s aggron?

Which is an entirely different matter....

[crude nacelle]

oh god i hope not

[charred rapids]

Well that’s not really on us.....should definitely make sure what ya up against.

[crude nacelle]

ooooo mega lopunny raids means that i can use mega pidgeot again

yeah you're right about that

[charred rapids]

And I can use my Rayquaza

Level 46 shiny with air slash and hurricane

[crude nacelle]

Alakazam is a better counter than Rayquaza 😦

[charred rapids]

Yeah but I want spice

[crude nacelle]

ok fair

[low cloud]

Wondering if anyone has any advice for finding dark type pokemon for the mew quest. Cant find any to save my life lol

[charred rapids]

Lopunny shouldn’t be too hard anyway

[crude nacelle]

Do I make my shundo double moved with Hurricane? 😮

[charred rapids]

Yeah it’s an exclusive, why not

[crude nacelle]

rocket encounters and nests 🙂

It doesn't have Hurricane, so I'd have to ETM it.

[analog steeple]

Are those nuzleaf tasks still around?

[crude nacelle]

It's a 2019 Ray.

[paper reef]

I beat it and caught it

Thank you for the help

I’m 10 candies away now

[charred rapids]

I guess it was rhydon

[crude nacelle]

yay!

[paper reef]

Oh I used 2 rare candies so 8 away

[charred rapids]

And Krabs honestly there’s not much to use etm’s on, may as well be a shundo ray that can mega in the future

[paper reef]

I traded one in also

[charred rapids]

Hurricane is a strong stab move

[paper reef]

So 7 away

I might be able to get the rest from walking

[low cloud]

Thanks. Any good resource for finding nests?

[crisp relic]

Epignosis21 has given 1 'General Rep' to Krabs.

[paper reef]

Walking / Driving

[crude nacelle]

https://thesilphroad.com/atlas

Yay

[paper reef]

I still don’t understand what nest are. I realize they are areas across very few sections of entire countries where like 10x the normal amount spawn but the chance of a small town ever getting a nest has to be like 1 / 10,000,000,000

Congrats

That Rayquaza stabs hard

What is a Harper?

Harpoon?

[crude nacelle]

That's my friend's daughter's name.
We went for a walk when I caught that Rayquaza.

[paper reef]

Oh nice

How do you have so much star dust saved up when putting stats into legendaries and mythicals cost so much?

[crude nacelle]

I am constantly running my gotcha 🙂

[paper reef]

I have my Virtual Trainer but I don’t run it 24-7. Just when I go outside and drive around.

[charred rapids]

Be picky with what you power up, what’s meta for your interest (pve or pvp) and take advantage of dust events

Snivy comm day is dust I believe, star piece the whole 6 hours and catch everything, you can easily on average gain 250k

[paper reef]

I’ma look up the word Meta. I’ve heard it for years but never knew what it meant. I just guessed it meant generally popular.

[primal sluice]

ah guys quick question how do i get the role for posting pic on pogo flexing channel?

[crude nacelle]

get to Great Ball rank in this server, and you'll be able to post pics 🙂

[paper reef]

The definitions don’t make sense to me

Like a general audience?

[primal sluice]

is that by leveling on or something?

[paper reef]

Ah this makes sense.

most effective tactics available
Meta can be used as an acronym for “most effective tactics available,” and calling something “meta” means that it's an effective way to achieve the goal of the game, whether it's to beat other players or beat the game itself

[charred rapids]

Meta is basically your most useful mons, mons that you’ll use for raiding and battling, they’ll outshine others, example is Kyogre is more meta than vaporeon for raids.

[paper reef]

Yeah, it’s like what I posted. I get it now.

[charred rapids]

You can check sites to see what the top attackers are for their respective typing.

[paper reef]

Then what do people mean when they’re talking about memes being meta?

The best memes out currently?

[charred rapids]

Yeah, I’d say so.

[paper reef]

Okay

Well I learned a new word today I guess

[uncut trail]

snivy isnt relevant anyway

[charred rapids]

No but the dust is.

[paper reef]

I want shiny snivy

[uncut trail]

its a slightly worse version of venu + weak to poison

[paper reef]

Snivy is very relevant for me

[uncut trail]

in pvp that is

[paper reef]

As long as it’s a shiny I’ll take it

[uncut trail]

its mono-typing doesnt do it justice

[charred rapids]

It has some play.

I’ve seen it work.

Vine whip + leaf storm and Aerial Ace

[uncut trail]

maybe

just maybe

oh damn i one shot a pelipper with stone edge too

try to call my grass knot bluff again

[charred rapids]

Hey I’m not saying it’s amazing haha but it has play, it definitely is outshined by Venu and even meg.

[uncut trail]

its a kinda ok counter to venu but it also dies to venu

[charred rapids]

If venu gets a sludge bomb off yeah it’s definitely game, only way it could win is shield and energy advantage

[tight pilot]

This^ very lethal in GL

If you can get a good low cp one so it doesnt go over 1500

[charred rapids]

Leaf storm is so annoying honestly, been against it can really do a number on ya

[tight pilot]

Did they nerf it to only sometimes lowers attack now or does it still always? Might have to bring that back out

[charred rapids]

Not sure I don’t use it and haven’t gone against it for awhile let’s check

Sometimes but it’s a 2+ debuff

[primal sluice]

@tight pilot u plan on doing the legendary raid?

[tight pilot]

Did one earlier might do another today but not too pumped for this one, probably just gonna be taking 1/2 a day with free pass

[primal sluice]

ah i c i c im checking with katie if she wanna do it if she does imma let u know later

i remember she say she wanted to have one so i not too sure

[primal sluice]

yea both me and katie will join with u when ur doing the one later today just HMU when ya rdy thanks again :3

[crude nacelle]

stinky event

[charred rapids]

Eh gives me something to do at least

[analog steeple]

Switch timer at half time. Oh dear

[odd glade]

Good for the people that missing dark types

"Sources tell us that Team GO Rocket Grunts will only have Shadow Aipom on their teams during the event."
That means that all the grunts are gonna have 3 aipoms in their teams..?

Or only in the first slot?

[surreal parrot]

So will this be the zapdos giovanni now

[charred rapids]

Yes

[surreal parrot]

Better make sure I finish this task then

[crude nacelle]

sounds like 3 aipom.
no dark types.

[odd glade]

Mmm then it will be perfect for grinding eggs!

Dark types as for the Purrloin that will spawn in the wild

[tight pilot]

Whats spotlight hour tn again? Was double Candy, right?

[charred rapids]

Yeah

[tight pilot]

Ehh got some larvitars in the stack but otherwise kinda a waste w/ no shiny slug

[lucid frigate]

More of these

[tight pilot]

Luxray “just chillin”, wish he was more useful in legit anyway

[analog steeple]

These are my favorite

[dire hemlock]

Can slugma be shiny during this hour?

And whats the hundo cp?

[radiant vigil]

Has partly cloudy culture gone too far LOL

[lusty plover]

I’m not mad I’m not mad I’m not mad I’m not mad I’m not mad

[radiant vigil]

Damn so close

[primal sluice]

only slugma is on radar for me XD

[tight pilot]

No shiny isn’t out & not sure on hundo

[crude nacelle]

hundos are always available

[subtle bough]

ooooo does that mean we might get shadow ditto?

[primal sluice]

is it slugma hour? XD

o it is gone XD

[tight pilot]

Yeah if your Est Timezone ^ it just was

6-7 every tuesday is spotlight hour

[primal sluice]

o i didnt know that

XD

[tight pilot]

Yeah but slugma shiny isnt out so that was just mainly for 2x catch candy lmao

[primal sluice]

XD i only got 4 :V

[primal sluice]

referral program is here time to create a new account XD

[tight pilot]

Yessir

[analog steeple]

Time for Cho2

[primal sluice]

how many codes can one new account have?

[primal sluice]

XD i glad i didnt created my account earler last week XD

[analog steeple]

I held mine off exactly for this reason lol

Time to add all y’all

[primal sluice]

XD

aight imma create mine tmr XD and i will send u a request

[analog steeple]

Not sure how much I’ll actually pump into my alt

[primal sluice]

btw how many code can one account use?

[analog steeple]

Or just have it as a knock out gym bud

[primal sluice]

lmaooo same same rn im trying to get level 38 to request a gym and hopefully it goes accepted and i will have my alt rdy to grind some gold XD

[tight pilot]

You running alt from second phone cho or just switching sccounts? If just switching you’ll probably not touch it much, if using second phone, it... gets addicting

Also no clue ryan, id assume one code per account but im sure if you had like 10 friends they could all use ur referal code to get rewards, you probably just get one set tho

Or one set every x amount of months/days idk

[analog steeple]

Ah was planning to just switch accounts then use my sisters phone for when I wanna trade

I tend to not keep any old phones

How much would it run to find one ?

[tight pilot]

Yeah fair enough and that’ll work for trades/doing whatcha gotta do! I just use my old iphone 8+ and my xr is my main, and hotspot the old one but i dunno if i’d drop a few hundred on another phone you mad man

[analog steeple]

Wondering if I can snag an old one on the market for cheap. My xr is my main also

Yeah I love pogo but I don’t “drop hundreds for an old phone” love pogo

[tight pilot]

I’m sure you could snag an 8/8+ or even a cheap xr for under 300 (canadian so way cheaper usd i just dont know market down there )

Maybe a 7 for low 100’s but idk how well that’d run now days

[radiant vigil]

My 7 runs like rubbish 🤣 crashes during raids

[analog steeple]

My friend has a 7 and it runs like hot garbage

[primal sluice]

oof then it makes no sense to get too much people use ur code then i guess XD

[tight pilot]

Yeah i mean i dont know for sure yet! Gonna be trial and error but orhers have had it for a little bit now so im sure the answer is out there

Okay so trash the 7 idea 8+ tuns well for me still !

[primal sluice]

ah i c i c

[primal sluice]

i think they only give u a few quest that u both contribute to completing and those are the reward i believe

lapras is also one of the encounter reward :3

[tight pilot]

Refer a trainer has a medal, refer 50 for plat thats not bad but i dont wanna make 50 accounts LOL

[primal sluice]

lmaooo in other words we cna have many people using one code then

[radiant vigil]

The referral codes were all over the internet from when the Aussies got them first so definitely don't think there's a major limit

[primal sluice]

but on the website where i read only the referred person the person who u invited can complete the task as to the system being design to keep them in the game longer

[tight pilot]

Wait so i did the friend referral thing (made new acct) but like i dont see where you can claim any of those rewards

[primal sluice]

so basically u do the referral thing

and then add both acc after adding both acc as friend then u will have some task to do

[primal sluice]

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/pokemon-go-referral-program-how-use-codes-earn-rewards-8004
on this website when u scroll down it will show u the ask u do and the rewards of both players will get

[tight pilot]

OH LOL im just dumb theyre under the friend

[primal sluice]

XD

[radiant vigil]

Dw it took me 10 minutes to figure that out I thought it was under settings LOL

[tight pilot]

So i actually gotta use this fake acct?! Ouf was just gonna switch back to the main alt lol welp guess i’ll build up this alt until the challenges are done

[primal sluice]

Lmaoooooo 🤣🤣🤣

[analog steeple]

@tight pilot yo

You got anything you can throw me in to in the next 10?

Had to pop an egg and wasn’t ready for it lol. So I’m hustling to at least get 200k from it

[primal sluice]

why do i have a feeling my alt acc is gonna pass my main acclevels XD

since now i know how to properly use my incense and lucky eggXD

[analog steeple]

Ah shit I still gotta research how to log outta iOS to make my alt

[primal sluice]

sound like a me XD

i bind my main to my FB acc

[radiant vigil]

Ios logout @analog steeple

Sign out

[analog steeple]

Milli you are a saint

Ah shit. I should probably know my password

[radiant vigil]

Hahaha I use Gmail so only need to remember that one

[primal sluice]

lmaooo

[radiant vigil]

The alt I struggle with the pw to 🤣

[primal sluice]

i hope my acc bind to my FB

cuz if not and i dont rem anything it is time to stop playing POGO XD

guys sooo here is another question right for instance i log out of my main acc will adventure sync still work for it?

[crude nacelle]

no

[primal sluice]

ah rip

the refer code is the code i gift to my friend right? XD

[tight pilot]

Rip i didnt notice this but unfortunately i wouldnt have anyway bc after 9pm for me when i do that i add randoms and send them gifts hoping they’ll open for the 3k -> 6k or pop a meltan box if i havent used yet in last 3 days

IOS keychain, how y’all forgetting passwords

[crude nacelle]

I use LastPass. It's available on iOS, Android, MacOS, and Windows. 🙂

[tight pilot]

Yeah i used to use that but kinda stopped idk why

[rotund copper]

Just referred an alt account, got x50 stardust on my main and x100 pokeballs on my alt.

[primal sluice]

i think i messed up

i didnt get to use the referral code

[paper reef]

Holy shit, a x50 stardust boost is insane

[rotund copper]

No, it means +50 more stardust to your total stardust.

[paper reef]

Ah, that makes more sense

[rotund copper]

Yeah.

[paper reef]

Though I’d gladly take a 50x stardust boost lol

[rotund copper]

190,000 stardust... now up to 190,050. Thanks niantic, life changing.

[analog steeple]

Definitely the incentive to bug a friend to join for sure

[paper reef]

I saw somewhere you can also refer accounts that haven’t been active for 90 days.

[rotund copper]

Yeah

[paper reef]

I might so that with my alts just to test it

[rotund copper]

This is the only referral quest that has a decent reward, imo.

[analog steeple]

And even that itself is a slogfest

[paper reef]

Oh yeah, I came on here to @idle snow. If you’re on right now we can both use an egg and I can accept your gift so we get 100k for Ultra Friend.

[tight pilot]

Yeah the 5 super incubators only ones truly worth, theres another for 1 super incubator, the one for 5 premium raid passes is... okay ish i guess ?¿ & then 10 rare candy is better than nothint i guess¿

[rotund copper]

5 premium raid passes?

[paper reef]

10 rare candies is by far the best
(Best for me lol)

[rotund copper]

The only one I see is for 1 premium raid pass.

[tight pilot]

Oop im wrong saw 10 rare candies in the “rewards like” thing before but only have tasks for 1/10

[analog steeple]

Damn it stop convincing me to get cho 2 out here

[tight pilot]

Oh wait no the rewards are different on my main / alt, the 5 premium passes is on the alt

[analog steeple]

[paper reef]

Wait, so no 10 rare candies?

[rotund copper]

Ohh

[primal sluice]

LMAOOOO

[tight pilot]

Do have the 10 rare candy one on my main

Its for purifying 20 shadows

[paper reef]

Nice, that one is worth it

[analog steeple]

I need those

[paper reef]

I just have to purify a bunch of zubats

[analog steeple]

I’m 10 away from a shiny hydraulic

[rotund copper]

I may or may not have used 40 rare candies on a subpar espurr because why not

[tight pilot]

Heres my mains tasks (the one collected is just the stickers for add 2 friends)

[crude nacelle]

Oop

[rotund copper]

On a completely unrelated note, look how cute this thing is

[analog steeple]

Can someone toss me 9

[tight pilot]

I wasted a lot of premium passes on espur i cant lie but got a 98% one that i evo’d

[analog steeple]

6*

[rotund copper]

Just catch 1 Deino with a pinap berry, it’s not like they’re rare or anything.

[paper reef]

I can’t wait til I reach lvl 40. I want to see how XL candies are earned

[analog steeple]

Ah yeah lemme just catch a few nbd

[rotund copper]

^^same Sarah

[paper reef]

I don’t want to watch any videos on it, I’d much rather experience it myself and learn different ways of getting them.

[rotund copper]

I’m almost 38, I was at 35 for like a year.

[analog steeple]

Also did a raid to try and get candies and got 18 hyper potions for my troubles

[rotund copper]

Then a x3 catch EXP comm day came, and I used every lucky egg and coin I had, and ended up getting 1,000,000 exp that comm day

[tight pilot]

• 2 at the bottom being “evo 100 & visit stop 30 days in a row” both for spawns

Enjoy the trash photos of the alt

[analog steeple]

Wow great quality

[paper reef]

I’ve gone from lvl 19 to lvl 37 since coming back to the game in October

[crude nacelle]

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204144

[tight pilot]

That iphone XR quality, you know how it is

LOL

[paper reef]

Wait, what kind of quests are those? They look yellowish red

[tight pilot]

Krabs thats fair, im just super lazy... ironically used to work apple chat support so that was too funny to me

[rotund copper]

Team Valor

[crude nacelle]

Mitch's alt joined both Valor and Instinct at the same time. It's a new feature for new players.

[rotund copper]

Oh really?

[tight pilot]

Yeah and made the alt acct team instinct just incase i need to take something of mine outta a gym lol

[analog steeple]

[tight pilot]

Meanwhile my main alt is still Valor lol

[rotund copper]

So if I were to join Valor on my alt, would mine be purplish since my main is Mystic?

[paper reef]

Ah so they get new starting quests too? Pretty cool.

[crude nacelle]

I was joking btw.

[rotund copper]

Oh

[crude nacelle]

Alts are against Niantic TOS.

[rotund copper]

[tight pilot]

Pfft is it really an alt if its another phone

[paper reef]

Technically they legally can’t tell someone they can’t make an alternate account for personal use

[tight pilot]

Maybe the alt on the alt phone is tho... uhoh i only made this 3rd acct for referral

[crude nacelle]

shhhh don't tell niantic

[analog steeple]

Sarah I’m pretty sure they can since this is all for personal use on their app

[paper reef]

Now if you’re using that alternate account for cheating and manipulating the system then yes, they can make it against their rules.

They can’t for generalized personal use.

[analog steeple]

I’m just confused what you mean...this is all personal use

[crude nacelle]

They can govern their game however they'd like.

[paper reef]

But for abuse of the system like self trading to gain an advantage then yeah it’s against tos

Okay gtg

[tight pilot]

I’ll show them how to play their game

[primal sluice]

we still doing the legendary raid right? XD

[analog steeple]

It’s 11pm my guy

[rotund copper]

If I may ask, where did you go to see the quests on your alt?

I can’t seem to find them

[primal sluice]

yesh i meant tmr T.T XD

[rotund copper]

Aha, found it!

[primal sluice]

would u like to teach me my friend XD

[rotund copper]

Do you have an account already referred?

[primal sluice]

yep

[rotund copper]

Well if you’ve accepted the friend request on your main, go to your alt’s friend list, and click on your main.

If you scroll down, it should show you the quest progress.

[primal sluice]

o i c it

ty ty

[rotund copper]

No problemo.

[primal sluice]

time to add some ppl on my alt to have it level up too XD

[tight pilot]

Yeah i had to read the article Ryan sent above ngl

Also find this funny - “caught from completing a referral milestone”

[primal sluice]

those stardust thou dang

[tight pilot]

Im a hoarder

[primal sluice]

i think i only have abt 110k lmaooo

[tight pilot]

Do you play GBL? At the end of every season if your top rank and use starpiece you can pull in some crazzzzzy amounts of stardust i think i got over 250k dust from end of last season lmao

[primal sluice]

u talking abt the arena thing?

where u fight against other people?

[lucid frigate]

150k was max last season, and that was for anyone rank 10 and above, so no boosted dust for aces, veterans, experts, or legends

[analog steeple]

Wait so I’ve been busting my ass for nothing?

[lucid frigate]

I mean, theres the clothing and pose

[analog steeple]

I don’t think I’ll get to Legends

[twilit sapphire]

[tidal violet]

poor choice of words

[analog steeple]

That’s a normal expression

[tidal violet]

[analog steeple]

Why did y’all star that are you that thirsty to get something on the board

[twilit sapphire]

[radiant vigil]

[steady acorn]

busting butt

[ancient star]

hey, i'm a bit of a noob but have played a good bit (just catching, evolving mainly) i have all these TMs built up, whats the best way to use them? Just use them on highest CP mon or what?

I moved house next to a gym so i think i'll be battling a lot from now on

[twilit sapphire]

You can search for the best mons used for raids or pvp and then see what's their best move set

and maybe use them to change moves to those so they can be more effective

of course, some moves may be only from community days, but they're still plenty of great mons you can check

[ancient star]

cool, will do - thanks

[twilit sapphire]

I need to do that too, I have lots of TMs i don't even use

[cold saffron]

Where can you enter a referral code on IOS? I’ve been searching the past 10 minutes for it

[twilit sapphire]

I'm almost certain you need to uh, do it from the Niantic web page

https://rewards.nianticlabs.com

for IOS, as seems like clothing codes were from there, , doesn't hurt to check

Req. by Aimee. Quote from · Dec 22, 2020, 1:17 AM

[cold saffron]

I’ve tried the link, but either I entered it somewhere wrong or it doesn’t work, as response I got „codes must be 13 characters or longer“

[twilit sapphire]

referral thingies are pretty new, let me see if I can find something

[cold saffron]

Tyvm

[twilit sapphire]

searched pretty much the most resorceful places and still nothing, its still beta so maybe they'll fix that soonish hope ios users from chat can find a way

[cold saffron]

From what I’ve found I should have seen a screen where I could enter the code, maybe the game is picky and counted me logging in on my old alt and catching a few things before trying to enter the code as activity

[radiant vigil]

yeah i've had that screen pop up on load for days and it's super annoying -_- might be tied to an update?

it popped up on my very active account XD you can find your referral code via th friends menu if you want to invite someone else though

[twilit sapphire]

I saw IOS update was a little buggy but since I don't have IOS well I don't know much

[radiant vigil]

i'm on ios, got the initial aussie referral release. the menu to enter referral literally just popped up one day and would not go away every time you rebooted 😂

[twilit sapphire]

[cold saffron]

„I ain‘t going away until you got referred me“

[radiant vigil]

except i can't refer it cos it's been too active 😂

[cold saffron]

It’s secretly telling you to take a break

[rotund copper]

^^ if you create a new account, it’ll then send you to that screen, and there’ll be a button that says “Have a referral code?”

That’s how I referred my iPad

[wet iron]

OMG I just caught an ULTIMATE beldum!!

shadow shiny 3 star Beldum bois!!!

[radiant vigil]

nice, better ivs than mine haha

[lusty plover]

OMG JUST MY LUCK, I’m mad

[urban bane]

I'm up to the stage of Looming in the Shadows where you fight the bosses and I just can't seem to get the last one to show up. When I was on earlier stages the balloon was constantly bosses but now it's always grunts, am I doing something wrong or just unlucky?

[radiant vigil]

you only get leaders when you have a radar, you probs don't have one. you can get one per 6 components i.e. grunts you beat

[urban bane]

I must've had it the whole time before without realising. When does it break?

[radiant vigil]

when you beat a leader

[charred rapids]

After the first leader

You probably had a few if you went against several leaders

[urban bane]

Makes sense, thanks

[radiant vigil]

yeah i suspect you had like 3 or something radars in your bag from a quest, then used them all up

[urban bane]

Probably a mix of that and I didn't fight them half the time, so would've felt like it was every time for longer than it should've been

[steady acorn]

gm

[radiant vigil]

pretty much, you can see when you have a radar equipped too on the right side of your screen

[urban bane]

Once I get the radar can I just keep electing to not fight bosses until I get the right one?

[radiant vigil]

yeah, you can ignore them if you want a specific boss

i usually just go for arlo

[urban bane]

Perfect then thanks, it's just cliff for the quest now

[charred rapids]

Go to bed Capz

[radiant vigil]

not even midnight yet

[charred rapids]

Shhhhhh

[karmic root]

oh i hate cliff so much, too so long for me to get a counter to his dumb aero

[charred rapids]

I usually have my team of metagross and machamps, if it has bite I switch, machamp still does some nice damage and will resist the bite, if it doesn’t have bite, gross wins

Usually two champs since cliff’s fave mon in the back is Tyranitar.

[radiant vigil]

That's new 👀

[charred rapids]

It’s the Zapdos, wait is that the super radar already?

[radiant vigil]

yeah that's what it looks like

[charred rapids]

They’ve never just given it to us before, usually it’s like 4 pages to collect damn.

[radiant vigil]

but for some reason the event below is 24 hours? 5x croagunk photo bomb lol

[charred rapids]

Is it croagunk with his cool hat again?

[radiant vigil]

boring no hat. also it can be a shady looking aipom

[charred rapids]

All it’s missing is the adidas pack

[radiant vigil]

needs some drip

[charred rapids]

Aipom isn’t really useful, but at least it will be easy

[radiant vigil]

i just like guaranteed photo bombs for that medal lol

[charred rapids]

Croagunk looking like the eshay’s in Australia

[radiant vigil]

110% fits the vibe, we inspired the niantic artists

[charred rapids]

Looks like it about to come up like “oi, you got any durries mate?”

[radiant vigil]

not going to ask, we'd just get jumped lol. my radar is like half croagunk atm

[charred rapids]

“Oi dawg I’ll knock ya if ya look at me again, dawg”.

Sounds about right

[radiant vigil]

too accurate it hurts

non aussie reading this chat be like wtf they talking about

[charred rapids]

Well “aye bruv, you stare at me like that again, I’ll have ya, aright guv?” “YEEE HAW IMA BLAST YOU AWAY BOI”.

I think that covers a good portion.

[radiant vigil]

sounds like aussie team rocket at the end there

[charred rapids]

America is my favourite “IMA KICK YOU WITH MY FREEDOM BOOT”.

[radiant vigil]

11/10

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

damn now it's actually midnight and should consider some sleep uggghh

[charred rapids]

Same

But breakfast.

[radiant vigil]

have to wait like 7 hours for that

[charred rapids]

Nah having it now

Why be iron man when you can be metal Jesus, Nutri grain booooooooy

[radiant vigil]

nutri grain ads were also pretty high in the day i swear lol

what about weet bix ay

[charred rapids]

Yeah I don’t mind the good ole wheaty bikkies.

[radiant vigil]

can't get healthier than that literally just wheat

[charred rapids]

Just eat it right out of the box mate

Dip it in some humus

[radiant vigil]

Weet bix needs any sort of moisture it can get

[odd glade]

Is that from the future?

[radiant vigil]

Yeah 👀 April

[odd glade]

👀

[charred rapids]

Yeah, we are the future

[radiant vigil]

Ah you have joined me in April now

[charred rapids]

Yes I have

[radiant vigil]

Oh actually on Sunday we'll be back to same time lol

[charred rapids]

Wait I have one thing actually that’s on my mind, do we have access to the half switch timer where the rest of the world doesn’t?

Got my answer never mind

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Everyone has the access

[radiant vigil]

we're not that special

[charred rapids]

Have you tried it? The switch timer is bloody nuts

[steady acorn]

i need 2 more fairy types game plz

[tight pilot]

doing the 5 trades with referral account - gets a lucky nidoran-m swap on the 2nd trade

[analog steeple]

@tight pilot you were right about the alt switching

I have 2Cho2furious up and running and it’s such a hassle toggling back and forth

Not worth the effort

[tight pilot]

Yeah switching back and forth would stress me tf outt, even just switching my two alts on the one phone i’ve been hating

[analog steeple]

Would definitely play the alt if I had a second device

[tight pilot]

Lol love the name tho make sure you nab the free remote pass on the alt so you can atleast do 1 free raid for the challenge lmaoo

[analog steeple]

Game also ate my xp from sending myself a gift

As you can see I’m having a great day with pogo

I think my alt maybe got my xp but the main most definitely did not

[tight pilot]

LOL ate your xp?! Probably just didnt pop on one side but still should have given you the 3k exp unless you deleted / they deleted right after!

[analog steeple]

Oh is it 3k?

[zealous talon]

I want to 🧀 the referral thing anyone know how?

[analog steeple]

Huh why did I think it was 5 for the first level?

[tight pilot]

For the first level friend? Yeah just 3k /6k w lucky egg

And no way to cheese it besides simply creating a new acct gasrm

[analog steeple]

Yeah so it definitely gave it and I didn’t notice on the main since 3k is so nothing for me there

Cause my alt abruptly leveled to level 5 lol. Guess that’s what that was

[zealous talon]

k

[tight pilot]

Yeah and you dont get the full like “pop up” for just the first level friend but if someone does open your gift while your offline, take the exp then delete you before you log in, you wouldnt get the exp for some dumbbbbbb reason

My alts almost lvl 20 but has like nothing on it

[analog steeple]

Yeah don’t think I have to worry about deleting myself thankfully

[tight pilot]

Well i did cstch a Tornadus this morning on it i guess lmfao

[analog steeple]

If I can get a second phone I’m planning to mainly use the alt as another host

[tight pilot]

LOL insta deletes then is like “oh waaaait”

Dual host is quite nice and anytime i have the alt on me while im out i dont even have to worry about grabbing people, with 200 friends on each and being able to send out at minimum 15 invites, just start er up and people come in

[analog steeple]

Can’t let a name like 2Cho2furious just waste away ya know

[tight pilot]

Lol dm me friend code i’ll add you on my main alt & on the fake alt later get you allll that xp

[analog steeple]

That’s 6k xp right there

[tight pilot]

Stonkssss

[odd glade]

mmm idk I don't think I will bother with the referral , the rewards are not wow besides the Deino , not even a collection prize, mebe i will try dat if I will be bored after the shiny mew research is done

[analog steeple]

Yeah the rewards aren’t enticing. For me I had planned to make an alt for a while to knock myself out of gyms

Otherwise wouldn’t be bothering

[paper reef]

There should be some somewhat decently big reward for completing all the referral research.

The higher the level the better a Pokémon can spawn in. Maybe Level’s 35+ can catch a wild (potentially shiny) Metagross, Salamance, Empoleon, etc. some higher level evolved mons.

||And maybe like a 1 in 80,000 chance you could find a legendary.||

[opaque sinew]

There any bird raids going on ?

If so plz ping me or smthing lol thanks yall

[odd glade]

Do u guys think the go rocket box worth it?

1 star piece, 50 balls and 1 radar for 100 coins

🤔

[analog steeple]

Meh I wouldn’t do it personally

The star piece is fine but 50 pokeballs

[odd glade]

making space for it the bag isn't worth it by itself I guess

[analog steeple]

How’d you know exactly why?

[radiant vigil]

Doesn't matter how big your bag is, you never have more than 50 space free

[crude nacelle]

me with 500 free space 👀

[primal sluice]

I never seen tht symbol before XD

[paper reef]

The weather boosted symbol?

[primal sluice]

is it?

[karmic raven]

Is it Tornadus Raid hour?

[paper reef]

It’s a fire type so it gets weather boosted on sunny days

[primal sluice]

idk first time seeing it i believe

[paper reef]

Ah, yeah there are a few symbols

[primal sluice]

o well iv is meh anways XD

[radiant vigil]

The rarest one is fog 👀 seen it only once since weather was launched LOL

[subtle bough]

Yea having alt is great esp when the tasks require trading lel

[primal sluice]

it sucks to have one phone for both acc thou XD

[radiant vigil]

I used a tablet for a while haha

[subtle bough]

Ahaha yes

[subtle bough]

Same I used iPad and iPhone lmao to raid

Cracchands

[subtle bough]

Time to ask your siblings

[primal sluice]

none lives with me atm XD

[odd glade]

I feel for the ppl who still need dark types

but 99.99% of the purrloin are a ditto

If they did it with a dragon type before the noodle it would be lv100000 troll

[primal sluice]

XD i think most in my areas are bug XD i see most people need heracross and i already got 2-3 XD

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I was that person looking awkward at raids carrying a tablet lol

[faint ferry]

are mysterious components not guaranteed from grunts anymore?

[subtle bough]

Ahahaha I won’t be the one Judging you

[subtle bough]

It should be guaranteed

[faint ferry]

like 75% of them over the past week havent dropped any

[primal sluice]

need backpack space XD

mysterious component take up space too

[faint ferry]

god thats dumb

[primal sluice]

LMAOOOO it be like that T.T

[faint ferry]

can open gifts while youre at 0 bag space, but cant claim things from store if they would take you to exactly 0 bag space

[radiant vigil]

Usually it'll give you a warning before you battle if your bag is full

[faint ferry]

its never denied me components before with a full bag

[radiant vigil]

Always has for me 😦

[tall walrus]

if you are like 500/500 items it counts it like you have space to collect something, but if you are 501/500 it won't let you collect anything

[twilit sapphire]

Guys do you like our new server banner and icon?

[tall walrus]

mmm i like it verry much 🙂

[viral sand]

it is my favorite one so far

[radiant vigil]

It's beautiful

[primal sluice]

XD i dont mind it but the 1 that is there be trying to trick me as if i get ping from it XD

[urban bane]

The icon genuinely annoyed me for a few minutes, I thought I was going mental

[primal sluice]

LMAOOOO

[lucid frigate]

I already knew it was fake but i remember another server doing it last year but idk which one lol

[analog steeple]

I have two servers doing it right now

[urban bane]

Like the announcement ping came up mid search and I thought "man how did i miss that?"

[viral sand]

me too. Then I'd forget it was fake and repeat.

[odd glade]

[twilit sapphire]

[copper venture]

I actually thought I had two pings here

[ivory halo]

Lol, same.

[fast copper]

Well

You know what that say

April fools

[crisp relic]

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around

[fast copper]

[crisp relic]

and desert you

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/780899702542565436/826961680587685888/png.png

[urban bane]

Haha ffs

Just noticed it changed again

[ivory halo]

[fluid ice]

so let me see if I have this Meltan thing right. I transfer a pokemon from go to let's go, I get a box. I open the box and meltan will start spawning in go?

[analog steeple]

Oui

[tight pilot]

Yup you can send to Lets go or Home, then it’ll give you a mystery box, it acts like an incense and you’ll get 1 meltan spawn per minute (roughly) for an hour!

[fluid ice]

sweet, I better save up on balls and berries before sending one then

[tight pilot]

For sure! And have 20 gifts at the ready to be opened for pinap (candy) berries and extra balls just incase!

Also if you’re lvl 40 you’ll receive guaranteed 3XL candy per catch which is pretty nice

[radiant vigil]

Easy one to max out at L46 now

[rotund copper]

First catch of the day

Didn’t realize purrloin could be a ditto

[crude nacelle]

it's new for the april fools event

[crisp relic]

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around

and desert you

[crude nacelle]

OH MY GOD I HATE THIS

[crisp relic]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/780899702542565436/826961680587685888/png.png

[rotund copper]

Ohh makes sense

[fluid ice]

late, but am only level 35-36

[radiant vigil]

Stuck waiting

[charred rapids]

Same

But I haven’t even walked this week I really need to get my booty into gear

[radiant vigil]

Walking is such a blocker lol. It's the main thing stopping me on shiny mew also...

[charred rapids]

I’ve just been sooooo lazy

[radiant vigil]

Have no choice need to commute to work

[charred rapids]

My arms hurt from flapping me arms for km’s

[radiant vigil]

wonder if that will fool my watch into thinking i exercised enough today

[charred rapids]

I’ve gained an extra 3kms for flapping, I can legit fly at this point. Still need, 15km before Monday

[radiant vigil]

this is for the adventure sync?

[charred rapids]

And yeah 15 sounds doable but I’m so busy, yeah this is for my 25 for the week.

[radiant vigil]

ah i forgot today wasn’t Friday, you have 3 days

do emergency arm flapping Monday morning

[charred rapids]

I don’t want to miss a week so I’m trying anything that’s not like super exploiting, because I hate defit users and cheaters of any sort flapping is kinda meh but it’s not like I’m gaining much

[radiant vigil]

no sock swinging then 😂

[charred rapids]

I’m busy this weekend so I have to flap, I MUST FLY!!!

WHERES ME SOCK

[radiant vigil]

🧦 extra phone swingin’

[charred rapids]

The sock trick never worked for me, probably doing it wrong.

[radiant vigil]

it worked, but the sock didn’t turn out that well

[charred rapids]

Sock is actually out of commission with head injuries, luckily it will survive

[surreal parrot]

When you're trying to catch purrloins for the mew dark research and they keep turning into ditto

[radiant vigil]

they turn into ditto?

[charred rapids]

And ditto is shiny locked which is worse

[radiant vigil]

I’ve been quick catching lmao, no idea

[surreal parrot]

Yeh they do now apparently

[radiant vigil]

hmm I’ve been deleting my bag and i am not seeing many ditto

[charred rapids]

Just for another couple of hours, this event doesn’t last long

[surreal parrot]

Next I'll find an ice pokemon that turns into ditto

[radiant vigil]

i find a Swinub and it was actually a swinub

[charred rapids]

It’s a 24 hour event, like 40% of the purrloins turn into ditto

[radiant vigil]

oh i must be very unlucky then haha, barely seen them

[charred rapids]

I caught I think 5 on a short walk to the shop and back

[radiant vigil]

i was in the city as well, everything was a rocket stop haha

[charred rapids]

Got a batch of 12’s for Easter?

[radiant vigil]

Actually a purrloin

i have literally prepared nothing for Easter

[charred rapids]

I wanted more 12’s to hatch for Easter, but now I have to grind for them

4km to hatch with a star piece on, juicy.

[radiant vigil]

only got the one because i got sick of aipom

[charred rapids]

I bought the box because 100 coins for that was a decent deal actually

[radiant vigil]

my issue is that i have to make 50 spaces free

[charred rapids]

Just delete 50 pokeballs to make room for 50

[radiant vigil]

i already deleted them earlier

[charred rapids]

Delete something, it’s a good deal and it disappears I’m pretty sure at midnight

You only get the one, delete hyper potions or berries if ya have to, they’re easy to get

[radiant vigil]

already all cleared XD

really should delete these charge tms

[charred rapids]

how many?

[radiant vigil]

over 100

[charred rapids]

BRUH

I keep 50 of each

[radiant vigil]

the problem is when i actually need them, it takes like 20 to get the right damn move

[charred rapids]

Yeah but all it takes is a good raid boss to get it all back within a couple of days

[radiant vigil]

watch there be a few months before a decent boss after i delete

[charred rapids]

Therian Lando?

Not shiny but best ground type attacker that’s not a shadow? And the incarnates come back after if you’re missing a shiny.

[radiant vigil]

good ground?

[surreal parrot]

The best ground

[charred rapids]

^

[surreal parrot]

Unless they change the moves

[charred rapids]

Only one that beats it is shadow swamp.

[surreal parrot]

Like for tornadus

[radiant vigil]

damn here i got the 98 lucky shiny Groupon to 40

groudon

[charred rapids]

Groudon is fine

[surreal parrot]

Transfer it. It's worthless now

[charred rapids]

Mix ya teams, a lando or two, groudon and chomp.

[radiant vigil]

even with 15atk

[charred rapids]

A mixed team is always great, covers certain weaknesses, all except Ice of course but ya shouldn’t be going against ice types with ground

[radiant vigil]

hopefully the iv gods bless us with some decent landos

watch things be like 10/15/15 or something lol

[charred rapids]

I’m aiming for a lando on each at least, 98% or hundo, so my team will be a lando, couple Groudon the rest chomps/drills.

Also lando will have accessible XL candy too, so definitely worth using passes for.

[radiant vigil]

rn my ground squad is just groudon...the one thing i had decent iv luck on

rr’ed so many lucky gible and they’re all not worthy

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

i dont have anything to show because i deleted the trash ones

[charred rapids]

Is it bad I transferred a level 40 chomp awhile back because it didn’t have attack? it was like 96.

[radiant vigil]

unless i use the 98 14atk?

[charred rapids]

Ew

So many resources to use on something that can’t even use its full potential, would be expensive

[radiant vigil]

exactly, yeah time to delete the rest of these trashy gibles

Not even worth

[charred rapids]

Wait, it’s lucky? Hmmmmm

That changes things, much cheaper in dust.

[radiant vigil]

yeah wb lucky

wait no, that’s just L20 haha

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’m conflicted about it, it’s missing attack but it’s a lucky 98

[radiant vigil]

ikr

i have more than enough candy for it

[charred rapids]

does a best buddy effect how much mega energy you need to mega evolve it

That’s tough, heaps of people would say go for it

But half those people would be noobs

[radiant vigil]

dont think so, just boosts your cp?

[charred rapids]

ok

[radiant vigil]

i almost rather just power up more groudons lol

have another 98 that i haven’t yet gotten to L40

(with 15atk )

[charred rapids]

Yeah I think I have a few groudons I haven’t touched yet

[radiant vigil]

oh and a 96 lucky shiny groudon with 15atk too

omg i have not been checking

[charred rapids]

POWER POWER POWER

Why isn’t it maxed you doof

[radiant vigil]

I’m maxing out the 98 shiny first

[twilit sapphire]

Not really, costs works anyway as expensive at first and cheaper forever

[radiant vigil]

tbh i could do it right now, but i hate spending dust

[twilit sapphire]

but having a mega buddy only boosts its CP

[charred rapids]

The costs of megas also vary on what it is, Beedrill is cheaper to mega than a blastoise

Unless they’ve changed that.

ITS A 96IV SHINY LUCKY GROUDON

[radiant vigil]

i walked gyarados for half a day and could mega evo it again lol

[twilit sapphire]

Yeah, mega costs vary from mon to mon

[radiant vigil]

i have a 98iv shiny lucky groudon too working on it

[charred rapids]

if I was as stacked as you I’d go from 7mil to no mil in minutes

[radiant vigil]

Ok it level 40 now 🤣

[charred rapids]

How much energy do we gain walking our mons? I just realised I have 1400 Gary energy, I never realised

[twilit sapphire]

my highest shiny lucky is a mewtwo 93

[radiant vigil]

Is that better now 🤣

[charred rapids]

No it’s not

Because your 96 is still baby

[radiant vigil]

5 mega candy per candy walked? so Gary was like 5 mega a km

[charred rapids]

A poffin effects that

I would say.

[radiant vigil]

halve it 😂 0.5km for 5 candy

[charred rapids]

That’s probably how I got so much energy for it, I also have easily enough to level it to 50 but I don’t wanna

[radiant vigil]

Happy? my dust

[charred rapids]

That’s better c:

[radiant vigil]

ok that actually looks really nice sorted by cp order

[charred rapids]

Holding dust does what exactly though?

We keep dust for no reason lol

[radiant vigil]

it looks good i can say I’m level 40 in stardust one day

[charred rapids]

Also you have a snivy comm day next weekend to gain more

3x catch dust.

[radiant vigil]

true true...i have like 40 star pieces to burn

one of my friends is bad influence, he has 30 mil dust lol

[charred rapids]

You should easily gain 300k, also if you hatch eggs throughout the Easter event, yeah after the next week is over you should be loaded

[radiant vigil]

aim for dat 20 mil dust

[charred rapids]

See I don’t get the point of holding onto 30mil, to brag? Great, your Pokémon are below average but you have the dust

[radiant vigil]

he maxes out the legendary hundos 😂

[twilit sapphire]

i miss the old april fool's event in game

[charred rapids]

With the sprites?

[twilit sapphire]

yeah

they were amazing

[charred rapids]

That was a pretty cool feature honestly.

[radiant vigil]

omg yeah, couldn’t find my shinies haha

same sprite

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

Haven’t had that for two years

[radiant vigil]

wow you kept the screenie

[twilit sapphire]

yeah it was really cute and it was my fave feature from an event

[radiant vigil]

reminded me when google did a April fools where you could catch pokemon on google maps

[crisp relic]

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around

and desert you

[radiant vigil]

damn it

i forgot

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

Thanks mate

[radiant vigil]

oh no i only have 60 groudon candy left

[charred rapids]

Eh but you got two maxed out shines that are both 96+

Was worth it

[radiant vigil]

true, i don’t remember when i got that 96 honestly

i just need a shundo one now for 100 - 98 - 96 lucky shiny

[charred rapids]

I think your expectations are too high

[twilit sapphire]

imagine having good rng luck

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I've only managed to get one hundo off a lucky trade 🤣

[charred rapids]

Are we allowed to link like YouTube vids in here I just found something haven’t stopped laughing since

Pokémon related of course

[radiant vigil]

👀 not sure

[charred rapids]

I’ll throw in ya dm’s boi

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Because we’ve been talking about Groudon and it literally just popped up

[radiant vigil]

110% worth

[charred rapids]

Love the meme, but the Pokémon spin on it was so good

[radiant vigil]

[lusty spoke]

Wait is this event just for the zapdos ???

Cause that seems too easy

[radiant vigil]

Already got the zapdos, it's actually that easy

[brisk shadow]

Hi, I got a question about the Go Rocket Box? Is x1 Star Piece really worth 100 coins?

[charred rapids]

You get 50 pokeballs and a rocket radar as well which is usually 200 coins each.

For a one time purchase, it’s a decent deal.

[brisk shadow]

ok let me try to ask my question another way, let's say they sold x1 star piece as a one time purchase for 100 coins, would you still buy it then?

no pokeballs and no rocket radar

[charred rapids]

You only want the star piece

[brisk shadow]

my inventory is often too full and I often have to toss out pokeballs

[charred rapids]

Star pieces are usually 100 coins already.

[brisk shadow]

and I live near 5 pokestops so I constantly get to spin and meet rocket grunts, mostly just holding onto the radar until Beldum boy shows up

oh derp, yes I see it now, a single star piece is 100 (facepalm), thanks!

[lusty spoke]

I'm uh kinda mad at pogo ngl

Wtf is this abomination of a shadow pokemon aipom like I have tried every throw under the sun and he escapes

Tf

I even used a golden razz with an excellent throw and he escaped

[ivory bough]

I catch mine without any berries lol

[radiant vigil]

I deleted a whole bunch of them today XD aipom isn't too hard to hit excellent tho

[lusty spoke]

I dont know why mine ain't catching

Seriously it's infuriating

[radiant vigil]

Aipom has always been red circle galore

[odd glade]

nanab is better than golden for a shadow pokemon, it increases your throwing window

[tight pilot]

If you hit an excellent curve with grazz on a shadow that should almost be a guaranteed catch... catch rates for shaodws is multiplied through the roof like i dont think ive ever had one run on me before

[analog steeple]

Dumb question but the half distance egg thing is also live right now right?

Don’t see it listed so I’m scared to incubate shit

[charred rapids]

Nah it’s not live

Around Sunday

[tight pilot]

Yeah it goes live on the 4th of april I believe cho (probably 8/10am)

[analog steeple]

Oop thank you both for saving my incubators

[tight pilot]

Yessir! I plan on doing the same but alao gotta save some incubators for my next level that im kinda close to gonna try and bang out as many leaders as I can today to finish off level 44

[quaint oriole]

I just wanted to give a shout out to @tight pilot for pushing me to contact support about losing 2 remote raid passes, I got them both back with ease I am besides myself right now. You are the MVP Mitch

[tight pilot]

Ehh I gotchuu glad it worked out easily just be careful how much you do it (ive heard after a certain amount of times they’ll stop giving them back and say your account has reached the like “refund amount”) but ive only seen that very rarely and buddy probably did it a loooot

[quaint oriole]

Yeah that's understandable, this may be my first time contacting support snd actually having them help so it was so refreshing to find out I got them back

[charred rapids]

STILL FLAPPIN ME GODDAM ARMS FOR KM’s

[quaint oriole]

Does anybody here have a go-cha evolve? I'm thinking of getting one but I wanna ask actual players not youtube reviewers lol is it actually worth it or does it disconnect too often caus that's what I've been hearing

[tight pilot]

Yeah they can be .... not so helpful about 99% of the time but i found that is the one thing that if you complain about right, they will give the remote pass back gotta finesse the system somehow

[abstract raven]

Every Go-tcha/Pokeball disconnects after an hour

I have the Go-cha evolved btw

[tight pilot]

Sleepy just got the old (original) Gotcha and he loves it so far!! Ive heard worse things about the new one tho so idk !

Been thinking of buying one myself for when im driving around downtown and its slow but i dont really wanna be on my phone as i do

[abstract raven]

All of them are built in to disconnect after an hour. so it disconnecting can be annoying, but its super useful

[quaint oriole]

That's what I hear, 1 hour is fine but people are saying it disconnects like every 5 mins

[abstract raven]

No its ever hour

Ive had mine for 3 months and its consistency disconnected after an hour

[quaint oriole]

Good caus there were so many mixed reviews on YouTube it got over confusing lol

[tight pilot]

Yeah 1 hour time for dc isnt bad at all tbh! And connecting back up im sure takes like 10 seconds lol

[abstract raven]

Yeah

[quaint oriole]

Yeah I think imma cop one if it's only an hour thats pretty toralable and I ride my electric bike whilst I play so it could potientielly excell my gameplay

[abstract raven]

It Auto Spinning Pokestops For u is amazing.

[tight pilot]

Ouu yeah that’ll be great for you im sure! I wish i was like somewhat active but always so ded and working like all the time

[quaint oriole]

And stop me from riding into low hanging branches as I am quick catching lol

[tight pilot]

Just gotta make sure you leave with bagspace at the ready

[abstract raven]

that to! lol

It also only uses Pokeballs for the Auto Catch. doesnt use Great/Ultra

[quaint oriole]

I am super ocd with bagspace so I think I can get used to it. Yeah im kinda sick of deleting my red balls so I might as well get some use out of them haha

Thanks for the help guys :)

[radiant vigil]

I lost my gotcha, I miss it dearly, I say get it

[quaint oriole]

Yeah imma deffinetly get one for sure

I've been sitting on the fence about it for 2 weeks now but yeah I gotta get one now

[radiant vigil]

It's good for when you're moving at fast speeds too cos it spins stuff you're not allowed to spin manually

[tight pilot]

It can spin when im going more than 30km an hour?! Oh damn okay gotta get one now

[quaint oriole]

That's so good, yeah I am sold now haha can not wait for pay day to get one lol

[radiant vigil]

I used it on the train to and from work, defo gets more than manual

[quaint oriole]

I also figure if I put down the dosh for it I will feel obligated to go out for an even longer bike ride, yep thanks again for the advice guys much appreciated

[radiant vigil]

Ah yeah bike is slower than the train so should be good. Only train I've had it fail with is the shinkansen in Japan cos that's so fast it hit soft ban speeds

[quaint oriole]

I can get pretty fast on the electric bike but still have not recieved the "I am a passanger" message so I think it will be a blessing heck yeah im exited now

I'm actually quiet curious to see how it works with my galaxy s10 caus I can run 2 accounts at once on it so I feel that might interfere but hey time will tell

[radiant vigil]

Ah you run the dual screen thing on it?

[quaint oriole]

Here's a fun and very useful tip for anyone who runs more than 1 account and has a Samsung galaxy s10. You can download the app twice, once from galaxy store and once from Google play store

[quaint oriole]

Nah I just run my 2nd account on the background and switch, It's a little buggy here and there but switching back snd forth seems to be the best way to run both

[radiant vigil]

Yeah this is what I meant, described it badly 😅

[quaint oriole]

True true yeah it works better than I would of thought like I can trade with myself on the same phone haha

[radiant vigil]

My friends with Samsung's do it and it's workable buy few drawbacks I've seen

Gets me a little angsty when short manning a raid

[quaint oriole]

Yeah sometimes the pokemon spawns lag and u gotta wait and occasionally it will crash the background app but besides that it's kind of a joke how good it runs

[radiant vigil]

Still way better than logging in and out

[quaint oriole]

Facts. I did that for a month straight before realising I could get the app again lol

[radiant vigil]

logging out is always so painful as it resets all the teams you've set 😦

[quaint oriole]

It was the having to re-enable battery saver and adventure sync that killed me and of course u gotts turn AR off on your first pokemon encounter and I was switching between 3 accounts at once 🤣🤣

[radiant vigil]

AR

[ancient river]

Did anyone else get the dark mode update?

[cold saffron]

you're in Giratinas realm now

[ancient river]

I'm in the Distortion World

[lusty spoke]

I would actually love that

If you have giratina as a buddy map goes distention

Distortion

[karmic root]

that's awesome news! glad he overrode the cynic in your ign

[tight pilot]

Omg dark mode finallly

[lusty spoke]

Umm have they increased rocket spawns or something

[ancient river]

That would be a cool idea for a Halloween event

[lusty spoke]

Truuu

[ancient river]

Also, yeah there's a little event today

[quaint oriole]

Check news tab april 1st event mine ended a few hours ago but I got a shiny aipom so I am happy

Team rockets were spawning at nearly every single pokestop for a day straight it was great

[tight pilot]

Yeah and all grunts have 3 aipoms lul

I just need more leaders to show up for me

[lusty spoke]

I like the aipoms easy wipes but catching them is hard for me for some.reaspn

[quaint oriole]

I got a 3★ shadow aipom like is it even worth evolving lol

[tight pilot]

Wasting my time doing these grunts for no components lul and same i got a 13/13/13 so it’d purify perfect but like lmfaoooo yuck

[quaint oriole]

I had never seen an aipom spawn for 2 months straight and suddenly they were everywhere it was amazing

I got a shiny aipom in the first 10 mins of the event on my 2nd account and spent countless hours trying to find another one but time ran out haha gonna do the lucky pokemon trade trick so it's not 1★ 😏

[quaint oriole]

Wait.. u didn't get conponents for beating them? I did. thats weird as

[tight pilot]

No you do, i just have the radar already so until i find my next leader (likely via balloon in 2 mins for me lul) , cause you cant stack components after you have 6 and have built the rocket radar

I am just bad with words

[quaint oriole]

Oh bro that just sucks

I'm happy we got another Giovanni encounter I used mine on articuno full well knowing it was a bad idea but I really like articuno lol

[tight pilot]

Yeaah but got my balloon now since its 12 hahah and i did same, i knew we’d be getting another one for zapdos and likely another for moltres so im not phased! I like to take 1 of each but i do have an extra super rocket radar i been saving on the alt so might take two zapdos just bc they good and most useful

[quaint oriole]

Yeah I wanna take one of each, my articuno wasn't even 1 star which hurt but on my 2nd it was 3 star he's now my buddy lol

[primal sluice]

i got a ditto today yayyy XD

i think i caught one before but i yeeted him lmaooo

[quaint oriole]

Yeah I was so happy to finish that catch a ditto task that has been staring at me for too long lol

[primal sluice]

i dont think i have that quest yet lmaooo

there is this spin pokestop or gym

but i cannot do it cuz my area have none T.T

[quaint oriole]

I caught a ditto a day before unlocking it and couldn't find one so I had been waiting for so long lol

[primal sluice]

XD

[quaint oriole]

My area is pretty dead and I've only ever seen 1 ditto in 2 months of daily play 🤣😅

[primal sluice]

when u need it the most it is never there but when u dont need it, it is always there :V

[quaint oriole]

The event started at 12am so I went out for a mission to get me that ditto and got s shiny aipom in the process. Sending my luck out to anyone who has the event still active

[primal sluice]

XD nice nice

so many aipom from these grunts

[karmic root]

is the only way to get multiple super rocket radars in a month to carry over one from the previous month?

also @ancient river we made ultra friends

[tight pilot]

Ohh my articuno was actually decent im pretty sure was 3* but most of my shadow legends have been trash
