[radiant vigil]

nooo..but better to get the sleep though

[primal sluice]

T.T i had a rough 13-14 hour sleep XD

[charred rapids]

You should be asleep yourself you’re just waiting for a new day to get smeargle again

[primal sluice]

how many photobomb a day?

[charred rapids]

15 a day, giving a total of 60 for the event, smeargle is shiny locked outside of this event.

[primal sluice]

i got the pic of it but it didnt spawn T.T

[radiant vigil]

oh i can try again in 2 minutes cool

guess i should quit these dens for tonight

[radiant vigil]

Ughhhh no luck, that’s 0/60 now 🙃

At least it’s a quick easy exp grind

[stark narwhal]

Ooh and new tasks just popped

[charred rapids]

I’m 1/60 still, hmmmm.

[primal sluice]

imagine using 3 accc and not gettting shiny :V

[charred rapids]

Only 2 accounts

It’s our second day.

[radiant vigil]

don’t say it plz

[primal sluice]

so far it is seem like that for me T.T

[radiant vigil]

just started on the 3rd account..total tally at 0/75 rn XD

[charred rapids]

Going for a third? Lord almighty

[radiant vigil]

cos my luck sucks lol

[primal sluice]

XD when u want the shiny no matter what :V

[radiant vigil]

when i was going for meltan, i did it on 4 accounts

[primal sluice]

how much acc u got?

[radiant vigil]

i got the shiny on only 2 of them, and my main didn’t get it until they re-released it

technically 2, the other are borrowed XD

[charred rapids]

I smell......desperation

[radiant vigil]

but bfs account is pretty much mine so lol.

[primal sluice]

i shall not say anything since i own 3 acc :V

[radiant vigil]

trying to brute force the shiny with quantity

[charred rapids]

I mean I own 2 so it’s not like I’m any better, 3 is just too much for me

[primal sluice]

XD ninatic just making us fulling up our gallery XD

[radiant vigil]

these extra accounts only come out when there are shinies to grind LOL

[radiant vigil]

you can disable that so it doesn’t save haha

[primal sluice]

i have 2 but then my sis say she dont play anymore so she give it to me :V

[primal sluice]

aight time for me to quit T.T plz tell me how to do so

[radiant vigil]

in the iOS settings go to pokemon go, then turn off photos access

[primal sluice]

o ok

[radiant vigil]

instant gallery freeeedom

[primal sluice]

XD

[radiant vigil]

I’m convinced this shiny doesn’t exist

[charred rapids]

I can show you

[radiant vigil]

it doesn’t exist for me

it’s a hoax like how Australia is fake

[primal sluice]

not u teasing her :V

how long do i have to wait before taking another snapshot?

[charred rapids]

Immediately.

Take snapshot, catch smeargle, take another, rinse and repeat 15 times

[primal sluice]

o ok

[radiant vigil]

It's ok I've already seen

Few of my friends have flexed their better luck already

[vital gorge]

OH MY GOD

Hmmm

[primal sluice]

i guess is just me and u not having our luck lmaooo

[radiant vigil]

Wow first encounter for trapinch too, niiiiice

[primal sluice]

my throws are getting worse sigh... maybe it is a sign saying take a break XD

[radiant vigil]

Smeargle is a little shit and breaks out on excellent throws

[primal sluice]

and when u do a random throw it stays in

XD

[radiant vigil]

Always

[primal sluice]

my pass pokemon T.T

[vital gorge]

That is my first shiny not from a comunity day

How can i get smeargle?

[radiant vigil]

Snapshot if it's after 10am Thurs

You can do it 15 times a day

[primal sluice]

mine got away lmaooooo

he was like nah u not practicing excellent shot on me time to yeet

[radiant vigil]

How rude

Turns out my first non comm day shiny was swablu haha

[primal sluice]

mine was a venonat

[vital gorge]

Wait what do you mean

Ive been taking snapshots of wild pokemon

[primal sluice]

ur buddy pokemon

[vital gorge]

Ok

[charred rapids]

who has shiny smeargle?

i managed to cop one today

[primal sluice]

these quest are eating out some candies thou XD

[charred rapids]

Got one on the first day, shiny smeargle seems to have decent odds, a lot of people will have it by the end of the event

[primal sluice]

2 acc down last one to go XD

[charred rapids]

who at niantic thought swablu was a good idea for a com day

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/communityday-may21/

sadge

[charred rapids]

ffs

[lucid frigate]

Not even a good pvp move for altaria either, so neither a pvp or pve cd

[charred rapids]

Bad comm day

[karmic raven]

For me it’s a good com day I need the candy for the evolution

[primal sluice]

isnt the evolve form a good pvp pokemon?

[odd glade]

rip dreams

wanted a tepig

[lucid frigate]

Yes, but the cd move isnt necessary for it

[odd glade]

now me salty again the bonus is meh , the pokemon is meh that's gonna be a 1hour CD for me 😦

[primal sluice]

i might do it for fun :3

[charred rapids]

Starters usually have a random com day between them, it wouldn’t of been tepig regardless since we just had snivy.

IF and that’s a mighty big if, they follow the pattern of the starters tepig will be after swablu.

[odd glade]

Oh ye for some reason I thought fletching was the last one and snivy was the one before

Still not an attractive CD for me

[charred rapids]

No, it’s not for the majority with a minimum of 30% being actually happy about it it’s a bad com day

[tight pilot]

Yeah that exclusive move does absolutely nothing.. altaria used to be great in GL, is still decent but everyone still just gonna run DB + sky attack / dragon pulse

[tight pilot]

0/15 x2 on shiny smeargle

[charred rapids]

Odds seem great for smeargle, see a lot of people getting it in another server, like heaps.

Even seen a guy get 2

[tight pilot]

Oop nevermind, apparently had 1 snapshot left on my alt even tho the photos before didnt photobomb (must have just glitched lul) and it was shiny so i atleast secured one so if i dont get it on main i’ll just send er on over

[charred rapids]

[odd glade]

0/60 😂

[tight pilot]

Hoping to get one on the main over the next phew days but cant complain

Ouff riko

[pulsar thunder]

Do I just keep taking snapshots of my buddy till a Shiny appears?

[tight pilot]

Can be any pokemon but you have to check the smeargle (wont appear shiny in photobomb/on map like some previous ones in the past that were glitched )

[lucid frigate]

If it got earthquake for cd move, would help a lot against its hardest counters like gfisk or bastiodon

[pulsar thunder]

Thanks, been doing the special research snapshots and its only appearing when I play with my buddy

[tight pilot]

That actually woulda been sick & probably woulda started using mine again lol

[charred rapids]

Altaria with moonblast will be fun to use for a total of a couple days purely to mega evolve against yveltal.

[tight pilot]

Cant be wild snapshots but if you go to your pokemon click one then the photo in the top right (i think maybe left tho lol) it works like that too

[pulsar thunder]

Oh oh yeah forgot you can do that, still need to catch two more genies to complete that research

[tight pilot]

Which ones ya need? Can probably host for ya later when some raids hatch around me

[pulsar thunder]

Need Tornadus first then Thundurus after and yeah I've been missing the raids when they're hosted lol

[flint wind]

Does transferring mons from home to go fill the pokedex slot?
Really need a Mr. Mime and dont feel like finding someone/going to europe

[charred rapids]

Can’t transfer from home to go

It’s a one way street I’m afraid.

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah can only go from Go to Home or Let's Go

[steel parcel]

no shiny yet but psystrike smeargle ayy

[tight pilot]

I thought it changed exclusive moves 🤔 did they fix it to not? Guess tomorrows snapshots are all coming from Mewtwo’s

[steel parcel]

i’ve been taking pics with return sableye

since smeargle can’t learn return, it gets a random charged move. makes for some interesting movesets

shadow/purified porygon would be better since smeargle would at least get stab with lock-on, but i wasn’t playing then

[charred rapids]

Not like smeargle is good for anything, weird and wacky moves are just fun I guess

[tight pilot]

Ahhhh thats smart! But yeah i mean smeargle is kinda useless, can it hit 500cp? Maybe somethin in little cup like a mini-mew lol

[primal sluice]

3 acc and no shiny XD

[charred rapids]

Little cup was designed for 1st stage evolutions though, maybe one day it will have a cup

[tight pilot]

466 is cap cp for XL level 50 smeagle

“The painters cup” - only smeagles

[charred rapids]

Where everyone would just use the exact same charge move, cross chop

Depending on the fast move, counter is super effective but other moves charge the chop quicker.

[lucid frigate]

I have a better charge move than cross chop

Sacred sword

Was taking snapshots of a purified hitmonchan and lucked out on counter sacred sword

[steel parcel]

okay i definitely wasn’t planning on getting the new snap game

but going to the park and actually taking pics of wild pokes was really fun

[primal sluice]

XD i just take picks of the same pokemon LV

:V

[charred rapids]

I just don’t see snap being my kinda game, never was into the snaps

[steel parcel]

for the finneon snapshot i remembered seeing one behind a gyms and ran to get it!

yeah i never played it. this was a pretty fun timed research though

[rustic nova]

How many smeargle encounters can you get a day?

[steel parcel]

not a good day to buddy my skarm. i keep clicking on it accidentally

[rustic nova]

I got to 15 and it stopped

[charred rapids]

Yeah 15 a day

60 in total for the event, shiny locked afterwards.

[rustic nova]

Ah my 15th was shiny

[final tulip]

Interesting

I got a doom desire smeargle

[primal sluice]

3 pokestop one area? how lucky T.T

[rotund copper]

Oh my god

It took me way too long to realize that the Smeargle’s moves are dependent on the Pokémon you took a picture of

I was wondering why I was only getting Tackle Mirror Coat smeargles.

[abstract raven]

@rotund copper Feebas Photos?

[rotund copper]

Yes.

[abstract raven]

lol my buddy is also a feebas atm lol

[rotund copper]

Yeah. Already have 400 feebas candies from only hatching those for a year straight. Now just gotta evolve one.

[dire hemlock]

Im sick of smeargle already

I got like 15 smeargle photos in a row now theres no more wtf

Is it like a guaranteed thing

[charred rapids]

ye guaranteed 15 every day

[dire hemlock]

Oh

[steel parcel]

@primal sluice dude. i’m almost at campus. wait till you see what i’m workin with here

[primal sluice]

better focus on irl first before the game XD

[steel parcel]

lol i graduated already. but campus is a great place for catching

[primal sluice]

o XD well lucky u then T.T

[steel parcel]

only complaint is that there are too many pokestops with typos/mispellings in their descriptions

[primal sluice]

u would never get bored now would u XD

[charred rapids]

jeeeeez

[flint wind]

woo psystrike shiny smeargle

[steel parcel]

@flint wind who knew one smeargle could hold all this power

[radiant vigil]

I've seen my fair share of plague instead of plaque stops

[primal sluice]

yay my pokemon return with 50 coin after 3days and 10 hr of defending T.T

[radiant vigil]

My 128 day gym got me zero coins when it came back

[primal sluice]

LMAOOOOO wtf hahahaha how is that

maybe ninatic even forget abt abt him hahahaa

[flint wind]

imagine bullet seed psystrike smeargle

[radiant vigil]

Already had another gym knocked out that day

[flint wind]

if only smeargle had more cp tho

[primal sluice]

o no wonder i have 2 more in gyms atm need berries to keep them alive for tmr and the next day T.T

[abstract raven]

I got a Hundo Smeargle. it gets up to like 500+ xD

[radiant vigil]

[abstract raven]

I lied 487

[primal sluice]

XD

[flint wind]

lmao

the world if smeargle could make it to great league

[primal sluice]

gimme some berries so i can keep these 2 alive for tmr so by then they can get knock out for another 50 gold XD

[flint wind]

bullet seed + psytrike sky attack would be so ovverused

[radiant vigil]

I just saw someone get a lock-on / power up punch smeargle that took out legendaries in the team leader battle thing 🤣

[primal sluice]

70 more coins for more back pack space T.T

[radiant vigil]

https://reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/n1c0i0/smeargle_can_stun_lock_npcs_with_4_turn_fast_moves/

Smeargle op

[primal sluice]

So close but yet so far 😭😭😭

[radiant vigil]

I got a hundo shadow skarmory

[primal sluice]

not u flexing on a beginner T.T

[radiant vigil]

Recent acquisition from march

[primal sluice]

nooooooooooooooooo another one of my pokemon got knock out T.T was hoping for it to be knock out tmr T.T

[steel parcel]

this one is just embarassing. how did it get approved lol

nothing about the actual observatory which btw was demolished a few years ago

i keep submitting corrections but they fall on deaf ears

[radiant vigil]

Lol the thing is unless someone is like 'pokemon is cool' in the description it'll go through LOL

The description is so long people probs didn't read bwahah

It's not bad though, like I think it's kinda interesting

[steel parcel]

this particular observatory was mentioned in the war of the worlds broadcast so i mentioned that in my correction

[odd glade]

Spooky

[steel parcel]

cursed mew

[radiant vigil]

OMG it's the ring

Save it

[steel parcel]

if you make eye contact he’ll steal yours

[radiant vigil]

Nooooo

[steel parcel]

his motives are unknown

[primal sluice]

i just hatch a ice sandrew :3

[radiant vigil]

You could say....unown 👀

[analog steeple]

[rustic nova]

can tyranitar be shiny in raids

[radiant vigil]

Don't think so

[rustic nova]

pain

[charred rapids]

is there a reaosn why?

[radiant vigil]

Niantic doesn't like making many final evos shiny in the wild for whatever reason

[rotund copper]

Currently on 75 smeargle encounters

No shinies yet.

[radiant vigil]

I feel your pain 😦 Hit 90 without anything so far...

[karmic raven]

How many snaps per day for smeargle

[final tulip]

15

[ivory halo]

Ay, sorry guys.

[primal sluice]

everything went down hill all my pokemion got knock out one time and slept away on gifts again

[radiant vigil]

open them now!

[primal sluice]

im more heart broken that all

3 pokemon got kick one day sigh

[radiant vigil]

yeah sadly just either got to deal, or camp your pokemon gyms XD i used to camp

[primal sluice]

wouldnt be attending gm until another couple of dayszzzzz from now XD

[tight pilot]

Yeah i find that happens often, i’ll have like 4 pokemon stuck in gyms for days then they all get kicked same day lolol

[primal sluice]

T.T tell me abt it

like why they cant beat them out diff days

wait mellow go sleep it is 1 am XD

[radiant vigil]

Story of my gym life

[tight pilot]

that means its 1am for you too

And riiight milli, like why?! especially if theyre like far apart

[radiant vigil]

In sync in the wrong way

[radiant vigil]

1am isn't that bad, that's when I sleep on a weekday

[low cloud]

anyone know if a lucky egg doubles XP from mission rewards under "Special" and "Today"? I had a lucky egg popped when i did the Snap mission that gives 8k xp but on screen when it was claimed it didnt double the way friend XP or raid xp displays double. so was just curious and didnt have the foresight to track my xp beforehand to see. thanks!

[radiant vigil]

i don't see why it wouldn't, it did double for the collection challenge earlier (but showed the original amount) so I almost wouldn't be surprised if having the wrong number show was a result of lazy programming lol

[low cloud]

gotcha. i also thought it doubled during the collection events so i figure this does too but wasn't 100%

[radiant vigil]

yeah i can confirm it doubled for collection event cos i tracked the exp for it, and it would be stupid if it didn't double for everything else

[low cloud]

cool, thanks!

[crude nacelle]

0/30 on shiny Smeargle 🙂
I hate it here 🙂

[surreal parrot]

The more you want it the less chance of getting one

[crude nacelle]

i just got it on my alt 🙂
yay now i get to spend dust 🙂

[radiant vigil]

I'd rather get it on something than nothing

[crude nacelle]

fairrrrr

[radiant vigil]

I know multiple people with two shinies already and I have none across 3 accounts

[crude nacelle]

O O F

that really blows

[radiant vigil]

Yeah and on day 2 as well XD I can try again in 7 hours lol

[crude nacelle]

you got this!

[radiant vigil]

I hope 3 accounts is enough 🤣

[crude nacelle]

It should be, a friend in the TSR research group is saying they're reporting 1/30 is the rate

[radiant vigil]

Yikes really getting the bad luck then

[crude nacelle]

honestly same

[radiant vigil]

My main I understand, but my alts usually are lucky haha

[crude nacelle]

1 day with 2 accounts should net you 1 shiny.
but that's not how RNG works 😦

[radiant vigil]

Lol I'm 2 days with 3 accounts no shiny

Apparently I should've had 3 by now? 🤣

I think it took me over 400 meltan to get one shiny and that was 1/60 or something haha

[steel parcel]

the odds of not finding a shiny after 60 attempts are ~66%

[radiant vigil]

guess i see more flexing than complaining then i swear everyone has one now lol

[steel parcel]

with 2 accounts/120 attempts, the odds of not finding a shiny are 13%, with 3 accounts/180 attempts, the odds are 5%

so @radiant vigil you will probablyyyyy have a shiny by the end of the event

[radiant vigil]

just watch me be special 5%

maybe shiny koffing the day before the event started ate my luck XD

[steel parcel]

nahhhh

[radiant vigil]

[steel parcel]

could always make 3 more accounts! the odds of failure go wayyy down to 0.2%

[radiant vigil]

problem is I’ll need to grind the friendships for the trade haha

[steel parcel]

but i can’t imagine doing 360 snapshot encounters

[radiant vigil]

technically already missed a day, and day 2 is nearly ending here XD

[steel parcel]

with 3 accounts, i think you’ll be good :) you have a 95% chance of finding at least 1 shiny french boi

[radiant vigil]

hopefully I’ll see it soon

can’t be as painful as grinding lucky trades though. 50 is naaaaasty

[steel parcel]

praise the egg and may u be blessed with shinies

[radiant vigil]

half dozen shinies!

[steel parcel]

go get some

those shinies won’t know what hit em

[radiant vigil]

I’m grinding shinies rn, just not on go haha

[steel parcel]

haha well i hope it brings you luck across all pokemon media then

[radiant vigil]

swsh i need apri ball catching luck

[steel parcel]

✨🤞✨👌✨👏

too many sparkles

[radiant vigil]

feeling blessed

[steel parcel]

<3 you got this girl

[radiant vigil]

one more lucky trade and i think I’ll be happy on pogo side lol

[steel parcel]

aw heck yea

[radiant vigil]

i like leaving it on a round number XD

[steel parcel]

idk how we are both awake at the same time (are you up past your bedtime??) but it’s 6 am here and i’m going to take a coffee nap for a bit

always lovely chatting with u

[radiant vigil]

nah it’s only 8pm here

[steel parcel]

idk how time zones work

[radiant vigil]

haha enjoy the coffee and have a good day

i am in the future...it’s Friday night here haha

[steel parcel]

pleasant dreams to you 🌙✨

[radiant vigil]

i need more sleep

[primal sluice]

Say can I not just borrow someone level 38 acc and then just request the gym and pokestop XD

[steel parcel]

er maybe, but aren’t you very close to leveling up?

[primal sluice]

Only level 34 atm

[radiant vigil]

you can do it

[primal sluice]

Reeee now I know that 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ time to find my cousin who used to play back in the days and hope he is level 38 atleast

[primal sluice]

I thought I went to bed XD

[radiant vigil]

did you not sleep at all? or jsust got up early?

[primal sluice]

Just got up early it is 8 am atm

I’m just sadly thinking why all 3 pokemon got knock out one day 😭

[radiant vigil]

i have no mons in gyms atm XD i should look for a free one haha

the one in the bush doesn’t count, it’s been 60 days already

[primal sluice]

I’m hunting for a level 38 acc atm XD

[radiant vigil]

honestly getting to level 38 is probably easier than getting your poke stop nominations through sometimes XD

Pokemon GO Community Map - Discords & Facebook Groups | The Silph Road

https://thesilphroad.com/map

maybe you can find local trainers here @primal sluice

[primal sluice]

It is but there isn’t anything big going on atm for me to hit level 38 so on the mean while I’m looking as I still hope to hit level 38

[primal sluice]

I just check the map for me empty lmaoooo

[bitter mirage]

What do these symbols mean?

I haven’t touched this game in forever

[primal sluice]

the one on the right is a corrupted pokemon tht u caught from grunts the one on the left is for purifying corrupted pokemon

[bitter mirage]

Ah gotcha thanks

[crisp relic]

DontDropTheDoc has given 1 'General Rep' to Ryan Yang.

[primal sluice]

np :3

[bitter mirage]

Also look how bad i am x.x my friend has some up in the thousands

Like how bruh

[primal sluice]

XD dont worry abt that as u level up ur gonna have more cp pokemon and stuff everyone start off like that

[bitter mirage]

I hope so

[primal sluice]

i believe that the higher level u r the more cp pokemon u will get

for now u main focus on leveling up as starter players

[bitter mirage]

Bro there was a charmander by my house but i had no pokeballs and by the time i found out how to collect my daily gift it went away ):

Also level up as in my trainer level?

[primal sluice]

yes

[bitter mirage]

Oh gotcha

[primal sluice]

u can add people in #pogo_friend_codes and they will send u gifts and so on if u dont have any access to nearby pokestop or gym in which is what i do XD

[bitter mirage]

I did lol

Once i get a car I’ll probably get a bunch of stops

[primal sluice]

XD lucky u i hardly go out :V

[bitter mirage]

Well i plan to get a summer job lol

Also why does my other sableye look like this?? I have a normal one too

(Yeah i have a goofy name)

[primal sluice]

this idk abt it XD never had one

[bitter mirage]

Weird

[ancient river]

That’s a costumed Sableye from a Halloween event

[bitter mirage]

Ohhhhh

Thats dope

[steel parcel]

hey, if this person is under 18, we should maybe not encourage indiscriminately adding strangers online lol

[primal sluice]

but then again true :V o btw u c the link u send me? look into guyana u will see how many discord there is lmaoooo

[steel parcel]

be the change you want to see in the world and start a comm yourself!

[primal sluice]

At the turn is where I be and besides there is just road road for cars and then many houses so no where is a comfortable spot for comm

[steel parcel]

lol i meant a discord community

[radiant vigil]

Or I guess whatever chat app is popular in your area (a lot of people here still prefer messenger over discord 🙃)

[primal sluice]

i doubt many people even play the game in my area

[primal sluice]

i check up on those with a friend who plays in a different area from me

but no good result

[tight pilot]

I seen a friendcode sharing website for Guyana, look for a Facebook group/ discord or even check out reddit! You’re bound to find some semi-locals at the very least

[radiant vigil]

Honestly even if people do play it might be hard adding them to a chat. Since I moved I know people play here, but I've literally never met anyone 🤣 I remote everything lol

[tight pilot]

Also is that black on the map water D3V1L? If so throw some random bs art things there on like a tree near the water or legit whatever, take a pic and boom you’ll probs get a stop

[primal sluice]

that is a river sir hahahahaha

[radiant vigil]

I admit once we got a photo shopped pokestop approved 🤣

[primal sluice]

i got to check up some more then XD

[tight pilot]

Good enough! Water is water and a safe place to put stops! Just remember they gotta be 30Meters apart so start stackin up some stops LOL

LOL thats lowkey awesome, photoshop pro skills

[radiant vigil]

Boat ramps and fish size signs near jetties get approved here 🤣

[radiant vigil]

Yeah it's not easy, it was a photo of a photo + my friend is legit photo shop pro

[tight pilot]

Yeah signs, a bench that is like a didferent color or even if its just a bench it may still get approved kek , we have a lot of these “little free library / pantry’s” here that someones obviously just built but theyre like all around our downtown core😅

[radiant vigil]

Ah yeah benches like that would get rejected unless it was rainbow or something 🤣

[tight pilot]

So if you can build a little thing like this, toss something like this up D3V1L

[radiant vigil]

Just need to make it look real! Issue is some people have picked up on DIY pokestops 🤣

[tight pilot]

We have a bunch of benchs with a tiny plaque on them so usually thats what works for the normal benches i think

[primal sluice]

XD i got a shelter nearby it so ill use that

[tight pilot]

Yeah some people on wayfarer just lookin to be all serious like theyre a police foundations kid who never made it as a cop

[radiant vigil]

Shelter is good! Anything like a gazebo or pergola is ez

[tight pilot]

Yeah shelter should def work!

[primal sluice]

and i got a big welcome sign for welcoming people to the country i can use that too but the main problem here

is level 38 XD

[radiant vigil]

Any park I usually split into: BBQ area, shelter, playground, any sort of sport court all separate + the actual park sign

[radiant vigil]

Yeah this defo works

[primal sluice]

since u got the shiny send the luck over :3 XD

[radiant vigil]

Can't believe main got the shiny first 🤣

[primal sluice]

wow how luckyyyy XD

wait if i trade a shiny to another account is still shiny right

[radiant vigil]

IKR, I think this first alt still has nothing

[tight pilot]

Ehhh congrats Milli! I’m still 0/30 on my main but got it on the alt already

[tight pilot]

Yes still shiny but stats re-roll

[radiant vigil]

I hit it on #34 on my main so there's hope XD

Ooft this alt is 0/45 now

[primal sluice]

XD if u dont get it see it as a xp farm :V

[radiant vigil]

Dw,I was exp farming this 😏

[primal sluice]

hahahaha

mine jumps right out of excellent shot but stays in with mistake throw T.T

[radiant vigil]

Yeah smeargle is bouncy, I should just ultra the things

[primal sluice]

i need to save mine for CD XD

[radiant vigil]

You've got time to save up. Plus honestly this one is shiny + candy and run cos the bonus is 1/4 hatch distance

[primal sluice]

this CD is 3x xp per catch right? or is another one? i cant rem

[radiant vigil]

It's 1/4 hatch distance

Bonuses rotate around

[primal sluice]

o ok

[radiant vigil]

For me, I can ignore this CD Lmao

[charred rapids]

i need hundo and xls

[primal sluice]

idk if i want to cuz like the pokemon is good for pvp sometimes so yea XD

[radiant vigil]

I've only ever used altaria for GL so you don't need xl candy for that

[primal sluice]

yea but i doubt i will switch my team XD

im ok with my team atm

[radiant vigil]

I guess if you're using the mega better to get it high? But I don't like how megas work so I don't use them

[tight pilot]

Altaria XL could have some use in UL

[primal sluice]

i thought mega stay as it is right but then when i hear it goes away after 7-8 hours i was like nope

[radiant vigil]

Yeah only reason I'd get xl is to max my hundo for lols

[tight pilot]

Plus altaria just one of my fave pokes but i do already have a good shiny one so this comday is just for pure fun for me

[radiant vigil]

Yeah would I max the shiny or hundo? Choicessss but I'm sick of 296 xl candy comm day grind haha

Already did that 3 times for L46 quest bit burnt out from that

[tight pilot]

Guess you just gotta get the Shundo and yeaaaa not looking forward to that! Main reason i havent put anything to level 50 yet bc im just gonna use old cday mons for that quest

[radiant vigil]

Machamp / budew / talonflame were the 3 I maxed 🤣 wonder where I got the candy from

[tight pilot]

Hehehe, likely same i’ll do but swap budew for a serperior for UL, maybe a swablu too now instead of champ idrk

[radiant vigil]

If I didn't have purified machamp though couldn't have done it cos that one was really bad xl candy wise

[tight pilot]

2 more leasers until level 45 finallllly tho, after this im not touching rocket battles for like aever

[primal sluice]

for those exclusive moves right i can only get it during the common day right?

[tight pilot]

I think i got a decent amount of macop xl candy

[radiant vigil]

It's satisfying ignoring the balloons I can confirm

[charred rapids]

for the mega

[radiant vigil]

L44 still was the worse grind wise so far haha

[tight pilot]

I bettttt, i cant wait till i can ignore balloons and stop prioritizing rocket stops sooo close, only need 10 more grunts + the two leaders total

[radiant vigil]

You can do it

[tight pilot]

Hoping to hit it by this weekend atleast, preferably tomorrow

[radiant vigil]

Ok finished the smeargle grind on the alts, wow they have nothing haha

[radiant vigil]

I pretty much just made sure I did one leader a day minimum so I'd be done within 50 days

[tight pilot]

I was kinda doing that.... until they took away my rocket battles entirely for like a month

Got onto this level in late feb i think, maybe early February tho *

[radiant vigil]

Yeah sucks they didn't compensate for the leader stuff too. But maybe it would've been too OP for the L49 guys who also got stuck haha

[tight pilot]

LOL yeah im not too mad about it just put a little halt on the level grinding but i’ll still need exp for next one anyway bc im only about 5 mill over this ones cap or so

• i waited when they released update cap to level 50, didnt do too many raids until kyogre/groudon so i didnt hit level 41 until then bc i didnt really care to grind it out

[radiant vigil]

Yeah now I'm stuck due to xp not quests. The lucky trades have actually been going faster than expected so the quest I might get stuck on is the 35 plats

[tight pilot]

Yeahh it starts to get crazyyy high in the xp and oh damn ya 35 plats is gonna be tough ouch

[radiant vigil]

I took my sweet time to get to 41 cos I didn't want to do shitty bosses 🤣 I've long since over taken the people who rushed it cos they've way less exp than me

[radiant vigil]

I'm only one off. Either I can grind out 400 more GL wins, or go for snapshots XD I just have to pick and invest in the grind haha

[tight pilot]

Riiight, like kyurem, non shiny eligble genesect, pffft and oh snapshots should be super easy with this event! I have 439 for that one, somehow already have plat badge lmfao but def shiuld be easier than GL and you gotttttta b close

[radiant vigil]

Yeah kyurem was in raids at the time LOL. GL I'm cheesing...I'm just beating up my alt whilst I multi task on something else so it's actually pretty easy to smash out 50 wins a night or something

After the smeargle event is over I'll need 50 more...so GL is probs actually faster

[tight pilot]

LOL fair enough, i did that for the battles, just set alt to 10cp pokes and smack em around lol , what are you at for snapshots? Gottta be close & another 15 plus comdays getting you some

My GL medal is only 511/1000 for plat

[radiant vigil]

I have 336 for snapshots atm XD lol 10cp smack down is exactly what I'm doing

Or if niantic released kecleon I'd get the hoenn plat badge easy xD

[primal sluice]

XD i check guyana pogo on FB and last post was september 13, 2019

[tight pilot]

Ahhh rip so 64 off, could maybe get it but yeah GL is the easier grind for something u can guaranteed get and LOL right!? Where tf is kecleon i love kecleon and gen 3 is my fav how they just disrespec us like this

[radiant vigil]

Rip

[tight pilot]

Biiiig rip

[radiant vigil]

IKR gen 3 disrespect

[tight pilot]

Mf niantic... quit playin these games with us

[radiant vigil]

Yeah GL I could probs do in a week if I go for it lmao. I just need a sufficient side activity lol

Gen 3 is my og...just let me finish the damn pokedex for it

[primal sluice]

ayeeeeeeeeeeee my alt got the shiny :3

[charred rapids]

Yeah none of the quests for 48 to 49 aren’t a bother, it’s the motivation to get XP, I haven’t been out in days

[karmic root]

how are people able to have so many smeargle appearances from snapshots - isn't it 15 per day? i saw some people posting about 70+ encounters

[tight pilot]

They just mean multiple Alt accounts!

[karmic root]

oh right, getting flashbacks to all those terrible shiny snek numbers

[tight pilot]

My alt got the shiny on the 15th, my main is 0/30 and LOL atleast this ones free just finite amount of how many you can do

Orrrr make a bunch of alts until you get it then trade it to the main LOL

But that’ll be a pricey trade** stardust wise

[karmic root]

facts, i'm not too upset if i dont get this one

[tight pilot]

Luckily im BF’s with my alt so trade will be cheapo

[radiant vigil]

Yeah...I'm bringing the alts from the dead for this

[karmic root]

i prob wont start an alt unless i get another device tbh

[tight pilot]

LOL i havent loaded up the “referral new alt” since like the 2nd day i made it bc referall challenges weak tbh

[radiant vigil]

Using a tablet for a 2nd account got super annoying, needs to be a phone haha

[tight pilot]

Yeah the extra device is def needed!

[radiant vigil]

I ceebs with referral 🤣 too much effort

[tight pilot]

Get a cheap iphone 7/8 for 100/150$

[tight pilot]

Riiiiight

[radiant vigil]

My old phone became the alt holder 🤣

[karmic root]

yea i thought about using an iPad for it but too clunky and too much effort

[tight pilot]

If they let me do it with my already exisiting alt then i woulda done referral challenges LOL

Yeah ipad works for like at home but thats bout it and even still ehhh

[radiant vigil]

ipad is ok it you don't intend to carry it to physical raids. It sucks if you do

[primal sluice]

just be like me swap between 3 acc :3

[radiant vigil]

Nope that was actually super annoying. My old phone took like 2 minutes to swap, and it also resets your settings

I have to re-disable AR every time I logout pissed me off lol

[primal sluice]

XD i dont get too annoy abt it XD i play with wt i got :V

[primal sluice]

i just got another shiny on my other alt :3

[radiant vigil]

yay shiny gates are open

[primal sluice]

XD now just for the main to have XD

[tight pilot]

Woot woot shiny smeargle for everrrrryone

[karmic root]

ehh i would never swap that's too much effort for me lol - nice on the shiny !

[primal sluice]

2 alt down on shiny time for main to get it heheehee and after that is just xp farming :V

[tight pilot]

Did they change the rain animation to be like “more aggressive” lmao, it looks like its just pouring sideways in game

[bitter mirage]

Ive been doing this for years lmao dont sweat it

[subtle bough]

@karmic root thanks for the invite but I was leaving the cafe

[crisp relic]

You gave General Rep too recently. You will be able to rep again in 5 seconds.

[tight pilot]

@bitter mirage you can get shiny smeargle only during this current event (then it goes away) you get 15 chances a day by taking a snapshot of a pokemon, either your buddy or a pokemon in your storage 🙂

[bitter mirage]

So if i take 15 snapshots with my buddy pokemon i have a chance to get one to spawn?

Like my charmander, just take 15 photos and hope?

[primal sluice]

just one snapshot u will guarantee the pokemon will spawn but however u have 15 tries for it to be a shiny in one day

[bitter mirage]

Ohhh

Like when it spawns, only 15 of then have a chance to be shiny?? Or am i not understanding

[tight pilot]

Yeah sorry just 1, then catch it, then take another, rinse & repeat

[bitter mirage]

Ok gotcha

[tight pilot]

You can only get 15 a day *

Usually smeargle photobombs randomly but currently for the event they released it’s shiny and gave everyone 15 chances per day at it!

[primal sluice]

got my 3rd one for the day hehehee

[tight pilot]

3rd shiny?!? Wtff

I’m 1 for 60

[primal sluice]

one on each acc :V

[bitter mirage]

So basically just hope Smeargle photobombs me?

Hm ill try it outt

[tight pilot]

I still missing on my main, gib me luck

[dire hemlock]

proceeds to gib luck

[tight pilot]

Its guaranteed to photobomb you

[primal sluice]

it will photobomb u just hope it is a shiny within the 15 photobomb u have

[karmic root]

No worries! Figured I'd just inv whoever was online just in case.. it got away from me tho

[primal sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/agt-americas-got-talent-heidi-klum-i-wish-you-good-luck-good-luck-gif-4487168

[bitter mirage]

I uh

Dont know how to find the photo mode

[primal sluice]

just click on the buddy at the bottom left and press play and then u do the thing with the flat area and then it will ask you to tap on a surface and it will pop up and then u take a photo

[bitter mirage]

Ohhhhh tx

[subtle bough]

Sorry to hear that , u will get it

[tight pilot]

I was going for a V-Create / or / Techno Blast shiny one this morning but no luck

[bitter mirage]

Please tell me theres no flash for the photos 😅

[tight pilot]

LOL nah u good

[bitter mirage]

Thank god cus im in class lol

[tight pilot]

And turn off in settings so it doesnt spam save them to ur camera roll & LOL that’d be awkward, ya no flash just keep phone face down on table

[primal sluice]

XD after getting shiny is pretty much just trying to hit excellent shot for xp XD

[bitter mirage]

If its not shiny do i just take another photo?

[primal sluice]

u can catch it and then retake

[bitter mirage]

Alr

[bitter mirage]

(:

This is fine

My max for today

[primal sluice]

better luck tmr :3

[bitter mirage]

Much appreciated

But what am i gonna do with 71 smeargle candies x.x

[primal sluice]

XD there are some mission need u to power up some pokemon and if u dont know how to power up u just use him to power up

that is what i do

[charred rapids]

a lot of the time i dont power up till theres a challenge saying to do so

[pulsar thunder]

Wilson has a Thundurus raid if anyone is down in the Legendary raids channel

[rotund copper]

Weather warnings look different now

And there’s now an icon on the weather tab on the top right too

[steel parcel]

basically

[twilit sapphire]

pain

[tight pilot]

If you’re on iphone, go to pokemongo settings (scroll way down in your settings app) & turn photos to “none” then it wont be saving them all

[twilit sapphire]

i don't mind having lots of random pics, but mostly it will remind me the pain of getting shiny smeargle

[tight pilot]

First shadow Charmer incoming with Granbull, could be useful in GL also shadow kingdra, tangrowth could be lethal and just personally hyped for shadow Torchic

Also weird visual glitch with Mewtwo as buddy (not me - rando friend)

[radiant vigil]

Is mewtwo ok?

[tight pilot]

They’re just prepping for the big “Mewtwo with a Flower Crown” update

[ancient river]

It's a "shadow" mewtwo

[analog steeple]

Everyone always sleeps on shadow gardevoir

[primal sluice]

i got 1 shiny on each acc today hehehee :3

[analog steeple]

Got my shadow shiny aero. Now got every one from the leaders

[lucid frigate]

Shadow kingdra looks like itll take a lot more damage from my magnezone’s wild charges and venusaur’s frenzy plants

[analog steeple]

And charizards dragon claw hopefully

Kingdra is a damn pain

[lucid frigate]

If octozooka wasn’t so rng based, i wouldnt hate it as much

[radiant vigil]

yay congrats

[primal sluice]

now is just xp farming :V

[radiant vigil]

Swim in that exp

[tight pilot]

Exp gainzzzzzzzz

[charred rapids]

Swimming in donuts currently, xp can wait.

[twilit sapphire]

who's that pokemon?

[hoary dust]

Big bear has no gyms or poke stops 😭

[lucid frigate]

Dang didn’t know they changed shadow mewtwo’s design to one like in pokken tournament

[bitter mirage]

Charmander model turned into charred-mander

[tight pilot]

Another day, another 15 non shiny smeargle

[bitter mirage]

Does it reset with the calendar or a 24 hour timer

[tight pilot]

After 12am your time, so next calendar day

[final tulip]

1/60 on smeargles

I got it on the alt, now I just need one on the main

[bitter mirage]

Why do you have a plain white ball

[steel parcel]

it’s spinning lol

[odd glade]

One day.. one day I will get a clamperl that evolves to a huntail and not to gorebyss... I wish I didn't miss that Clamperl research day 1 year ago

[radiant vigil]

When I did the clamperl research day 4 in row evolved into gorebyss...had to trade for huntail in the end

[odd glade]

[radiant vigil]

It's rigged

[charred rapids]

It was a perfect time to have an alt, one account evolved multiple gorebyss, the other multiple huntail

[brisk shadow]

Hi everyone, is it worth powering up a (6,8,9) shadow mewtwo, or should I wait for another shadow mewtwo? Is another shadow mewtwo likely to come anyway since Giovanni now has shadow birds, and potentially other shadow pokemon in future?

[radiant vigil]

Shadow mewtwo is op af but it's likely we'll have another round so I'd pick the higher of the two

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’ve already maxed one out to 40 not touching it for 50 doe

[tight pilot]

Did they not change research breakthrough for May? Just got frillish on my alt (May 1st) lol

[charred rapids]

They should have by now.

[tight pilot]

Thats what i thought must have been glitched bc i clicked it right as I opened the phone and background was still dark like night lmfao

[primal sluice]

when will GL be back again?

[steel parcel]

idk but i made a dumb thing

[analog steeple]

Lmao

[tight pilot]

Lolll

[charred rapids]

its 1pm american time

so if in uk then 9pm

[primal sluice]

when boredom strike maybe :V

[karmic root]

@tight pilot heads up i just opened up your gift which i think is gonna propel us into ultra friends, may wanna pop an egg! Sorry it was an accident so i surprised myself with it lol

[tender geode]

@tight pilot Same here, haven't open opened the gift yet, but it'll prob push us over

[karmic root]

lol there are multiple "american" times tho 🤔

[lucid frigate]

They change it at 1 pm PST, or as some people like to call it, niantic o clock

[charred rapids]

Yeah got it for another two hours

[steel parcel]

@charred rapids what app is that?

[charred rapids]

Go field guide

[steel parcel]

nice! thanks

[charred rapids]

Extremely useful to keep track of events and stuff, has everything else too updates on raids, research rewards etc.

[steel parcel]

it doesn’t connect to the game or anything right?

[charred rapids]

No

Don’t need to log in, give any sort of information, it’s no third party app, doesn’t connect to go whatsoever.

[steel parcel]

cool. i’ve avoided apps like pokegenie bc i’ve heard of people getting banned for having it installed

[charred rapids]

I’ve had genie installed since like 2018

[steel parcel]

i know, i’m just paranoid bc i’m also using an old iphone too

[charred rapids]

Yeah that’s fair well this app doesn’t give any advantage or anything, just gives you heads up really nothing more, equivalent to looking up Serebii.

[steel parcel]

i still have serebii tabs open from when i was playing xy so this will help a lot

[charred rapids]

Yeah hope it does!

[analog steeple]

Genie doesn’t connect to pogo either @steel parcel . It’s the apps that do shit while you have pogo open that you gotta look out for

[steel parcel]

oh really?

[charred rapids]

^^yeeee, your friends being banned and having genie was most likely coincidental.

[steel parcel]

i wonder why the bans then

[charred rapids]

Legitimate people have been banned before.

[analog steeple]

They were probably spoofing or using some apps that interact directly with pogo

Or were banned accidentally cause yeah I’ve seen that too

[charred rapids]

Or yeah spoofing

[steel parcel]

ahh well they said they didn’t spoof but i guess they wouldn’t admit to it if they did haha

[charred rapids]

Yeah though multi accounting is bad, spoofing is looked down upon immensely, no one likes to admit to it.

[steel parcel]

one of my friends spoofs and has spent thousands on pogo and i’m always like girllll please be safe

like she has the money to fly to paris legitimately but i’m not gonna tell her how to play the game

[charred rapids]

The fancy stuff they can do with those apps nowadays too, lady here gains way too much xp then she should, turns out they have mechanics to do like automatic excellent throws and trash like that.

I’m a hypocrite I have two accounts but I despise spoofin, it’s lazy, it’s disgusting act that gives you too much advantage, at least multi account users still go outside and do what the game is intended to be.

[steel parcel]

woah really? i thought they just let you teleport around

that’s wild lol. i can see how it would be hard to quit once you start

[charred rapids]

No it’s a bit more advanced then that now, they have access to maps to locate specific rare spawns or specific IV spawns.

[primal sluice]

it allow u to teleport to certain area and then after 2 hours the spoofing reset and u can do the thing again

[charred rapids]

basically a cooldown

[primal sluice]

yea there are coordinates spawn

[charred rapids]

So they have access to extreme xp gains and extreme mon hunting, all in all, as I said it’s disgusting.

u can go where the hundos r

[charred rapids]

that doesnt piss me off

its the fact that they think theyre so good

and flex and that

When you’re gaining insane amount of xp, that’s a flex in itself and you see it every day when you gift them.

[steel parcel]

i saw one local player whose handle is spoofersunite lol

[charred rapids]

also i get so mad when they take over every gym

[steel parcel]

they’re always putting down lures and i never see them in gyms so i don’t have any problem with them

[charred rapids]

its like how fucking greedy can you be

im fine with it unless it affects my gameplay

Like this lady had the resort to this to pass me in xp lol because she was a good 50 mil behind.

And now she’s 4mil ahead after a few months

[steel parcel]

i think one of my friends i added on reddit might be a spoofer bc i’m always getting gifts from all over the world

or they could be a flight attendant

[charred rapids]

Airports even open?

ye

they are

I know a lot of them are still rejecting flights.

[steel parcel]

but either way they must not be doing spoofing right bc they started at lvl 35 several months ago and they only recently hit lvl 36

[charred rapids]

theres some place in spain where there is 25 pokestops in one area

Yeah no the mechanic for the automatic throws might be in a different app, I can tell this chick is doing it for sure during the fletchling comm day, was gaining a couple mil even after it had ended, she was following it around.

does she piss u off about it

Of course she does she flexes all her illegitimate shines in the chat

But she made a mistake, last screenshot had the joystick, admin took a photo of it

[charred rapids]

its included within the spoofer thing

[charred rapids]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

[steel parcel]

yeah i’ve seen this and it’s crazy. tbh i feel like it would be really difficult to catch with how close everything is

[charred rapids]

Yeah that’s a no from me, seems fun and all but you’d miss a lot.

You’d have to prioritise.

[primal sluice]

and a gym dang

does ninatic ever review those stop?

[steel parcel]

i think they’re all graffiti and street art so i’m sure they’re legitimate

[charred rapids]

some people i know spoof to get the regionals and trade it to themselves

with an alt

Eh again what’s the point, can’t even be patient with the release.

We’ll all get them eventually, why race for it.

thats true

[primal sluice]

to me cheating the system just makes the game boring

[charred rapids]

but tbh i think regionals are a terrible idea

Multi accounting like 4-6 accounts and filling a gym is just as bad

Lot of disgusting players in the community.

[steel parcel]

if i didn’t have pogo during quarantine i’d get super fat lol

[charred rapids]

lmaooo

[steel parcel]

i’m such a couch potato. pogo is the one thing that gets me out of the house

[charred rapids]

Yes, agreed without pogo I’d be an introvert

Because people suck

[primal sluice]

i shall not say anything since i got 3 acc T.T

[charred rapids]

i have around 6

[steel parcel]

i will admit that my runs have gotten a little slower now that i have to stop to catch every now and then haha

[charred rapids]

I don’t care for multi accounting to a degree, but if you put anymore than 1 or even 2 in a gym, yeah you’re just a hog

hahhaha

And probably deserve the backlash

[steel parcel]

there’s a few multi accounters in my area but i leave them alone if they’re under level 40

[primal sluice]

i meannnn if no one is there to take it so u just put in pokemon for 10 hours and then kick it out with ur alt and repeat :V

[charred rapids]

There’s an old lady with 6 over 40 accounts, I aim for her.

[steel parcel]

if they’re over level 40 and sitting on more than 5 gyms, they’re going down

[charred rapids]

does she hog the gyms

[steel parcel]

wow. that’s just impressive at that point

[charred rapids]

She hogs the spots, I don’t even care if she’s only got one

how do people even have more than one level 40 account

I don’t care if she’s 60 or 6 lol, if all your accounts are occupying one gym, you’re trash.

[primal sluice]

what is she doing with so many acc?

[steel parcel]

you should follow her around and put spoinks and grumpigs and drowzees in with her

[charred rapids]

i would make an effort to knock them all out instantly

[steel parcel]

even better if you rename yourself something like don’t be a gym hog

[charred rapids]

I usually do.

The moment I see her in gyms around my area I go for a walk immediately.

hahahaha

I don’t take that trash, gotta leave room for other players, be considerate.

what level r u

Only time I’d accept this is rural places where the player base is less than like 15

[primal sluice]

poor lady T.T she probably getting tired of u lmaooo

[charred rapids]

I’m 48 on both accounts.

wow

I don’t throw in the same gyms either just to be clear

[steel parcel]

my bf is my alt account lol

[charred rapids]

i have one 40 and one 39

[primal sluice]

after i get 50 gold per day idc abt the gym no more XD

[charred rapids]

But I have also been playing since day one

[primal sluice]

rn im just wanting to hit 4 more levels XD

[charred rapids]

i started june 2019

[charred rapids]

what u at

36?

And my alt was created start of Feb, so I’ve had a lot of grinding, a lot of breaks too though, some lasting a couple months, some lasting couple days. This game for me is, well kind of a yo-yo.

[primal sluice]

34 on main

i started to be a constant player 2 months ago

[charred rapids]

Around the time I stopped being a constant player

sometimes i just cba with the game

then i say im gonna take a break

then im back to playing again the next day

Sounds about right, gets a decent event and ya in it again, I have barely played the last two weeks, smeargle event was the most I’ve played and I’ve spent maybe a total of 15 minutes in the app each day

rlly hope theres more ways of getting pokeballs this years go fest

It’s not as fun as it used to be for me, especially now that some of the only people I could tolerate were cheating and abusing the system, then I just couldn’t be bothered. I guess it’s a pet peeve even though I shouldn’t be bothered by it.

Yeah hopefully go fest will be something special this year

imagine cheating a pokemon game

I did it when I was a kid, I’ve since wiped any main series to a new game, it’s Pokémon GO not Pokémon sit on ya ass

It doesn’t matter anyhow, the game is on a slight decline for player base every year, will be a dead game soon enough.

theyre doing everything they can not release all the good stuff

like all megas

cant believe fucking swablu is a com day

Yeah and when they release the “good stuff” they won’t get the profit they’d get doing it months or years before.

The mega system was dumb to begin with anyway, no one did them, people barely do them now.

i thought they would have something to do with the stones

Even if they did we’d have to buy the stones.

100000 coins for one

that lasts for one minute

Yeah probably, all their other decisions lately have been just as bad.

Nerfed Xerneas, gave it tackle and zen headbutt for a fast move, made an op legendary worse than tornadus.

what did it have before

It had higher stats was suppose to be 5000cp now it’s 4200, it didn’t have anything before they’re just giving it terrible fast moves

it doesnt even have dragon or fairy type fast moves

Some of us were prepared to deal with the fast moves because it will still gonna be 5k, but then they announced a nerf for stats too, now I’ll be lucky to do 5-6

Sylveon will be better than xerneas at this point.

[charred rapids]

ill probably do one

jeez we just ranted about niantic for ages

Yeeeeeeep

[steel parcel]

i just joined my local discord and idk how to politely decline this lol

[charred rapids]

Yeah I hate that kinda stuff, takes the fun out of the adventure, you’re not surprised getting a hundo you knew was there.

The fact they want money to do so as well.

[steel parcel]

this might be too spicy

i’ll probably just ignore it for now lol

[charred rapids]

are a lot of people spoofing there

[steel parcel]

i don’t know how to tell haha. i know they have some bot that reports local raids and hundo spawns but most are too far away to walk to

i’ll drive to a raid in the middle of winter if i absolutely need to but i’m not driving for a hundo that probably will have despawned by the time i get there

[charred rapids]

If I fight Giovanni how would I get articuno? I have played in a while.

[karmic raven]

Ain’t it Zapdos atm?

[steel parcel]

moltres rn, zapdos for 2 weeks in june

[charred rapids]

Oh so if I want articuno I need to wait it out any idea how long?

[steel parcel]

no idea really. probably a while before we see him again. niantic doesn’t seem to love giving out shadow legs

[charred rapids]

Ok thanks

[crisp relic]

ArchDrakin has given 1 'General Rep' to qt.

[odd glade]

I can tell that a lot of people in my country are spoofing, I think that most of the players here do

tbh idc about that, if it's what making them enjoy the game so be it, I enjoy playing legit

[odd glade]

Speaking of shadow Moltres, do we get a super radar this month?

[steel parcel]

there should be timed research to receive a rocket radar starting may 4

[odd glade]

Oh may 4

kk tq

[twilit sapphire]

[lucid elbow]

Can anyone tell me what the three star raids are gonna have for this month?

[charred rapids]

I don’t believe we have access to the info in what will be in raids when Xerneas comes round which is in two days

[twilit sapphire]

we only know what we having in legendary raids

and some of the 1 star raids

well, im assuming Spritzee and Swirlix will be also in raids along with Pancham

[charred rapids]

I thought pancham wasn’t until yveltal for their little event thingy.

[lucid elbow]

Alright. Thank you for the help!

[charred rapids]

You’ll know as soon as we do, I’m sure it will be posted first thing

[karmic root]

@flint flint thanks for the invite! i woulda joined for tyranitar but i'm out of raid passes :\

[crisp relic]

ChenMastaFlex has given 1 'General Rep' to forgivin.

[flint flint]

Np!

No catch and it was weatherboosted:( sad times

[radiant vigil]

This shiny smeargle adventure ended with 1 shiny out of 3 accounts (and 180 checks)

[primal sluice]

mine ended with 3 shiny on each acc :V

[radiant vigil]

9 total? 😮 whoa luckyyyy

so i'm just unlucky then haha

[charred rapids]

Nah our luck just lies elsewhere

[primal sluice]

wait wait wait lemme rephrase that lmaooo im half awake atm i meant to say 3 shiny with 1 on each acc XD

[radiant vigil]

where?

[radiant vigil]

hahah ok makes more sense, still 2 more than me 😉

[primal sluice]

my alt met clff again T.T

[radiant vigil]

your alt must have some sort of cliff magnet lol

[primal sluice]

T.T i believe so T.T

[radiant vigil]

My 62 day old gym just got kicked XD at least I got the coins for it

[tight pilot]

Honestly shocked, usually that only ever happens when you’ve hit your 50c for the day already

[radiant vigil]

I didn't have any other pokemon in gyms that's how

[tight pilot]

A blessing & a curse

[tight pilot]

No shiny smeargle on the main

[charred rapids]

Well I’m sure you have plenty of shiny mons these others don’t have, I know I do

The fact is we at least got a smeargle, the other shiny mons we have and they don’t is just a bonus.

[radiant vigil]

Rn looks like the old com day stuff

Yeah happy I got one at least, it's purdyyy

[tight pilot]

Any old event shiny too until / if they come back around

[hardy minnow]

How does one unlock those challenges?

[tight pilot]

They are just the research you can get from pokestops this month ^

[hardy minnow]

Okie ty

[charred rapids]

wonder how rare the gible ones are🤔

[radiant vigil]

from experience, fairly rare, difficult to stumble on without extra help

[charred rapids]

was thinking about changing to blue team

am red team rn

but i have a shundo moltres so i just cant

[radiant vigil]

👀 it's ok, my mystic friend has a shundo moltres

[steel parcel]

on the one hand, the xp/stardust for these hatches never showed up :( on the other hand, more axew/sandile/vullaby candy :)

also, any suggestions for which of these to power up for GL? i’ve no luck of getting a rank 1 sableye since i trade with bf and the iv floor is 4/4/4

but i also know there’s a fairly sizeable difference in stat products btwn rank 1 xl and hundo sableye

[charred rapids]

depends how many xls u have

[primal sluice]

Well rip me in getting those task lmaoooo

[tight pilot]

Lolol theyre pretty much the same as they always are with some cycling in/out dont worry! Most of the time its the event tasks ppl are after anyhow (besides that gible one but my luck imll get the task as the berry reward kek)

[primal sluice]

XD we shall see how things work out

are they guarantee to be shiny asfter finishing task or something?

[tight pilot]

No theyre just field research tasks, like the ones you complete in the middle tab between daily / special research, the ones that lead up to the 7 day box

These ^

[primal sluice]

O ok

[tender geode]

@tight pilot I’m about to open that gift to put us in ultra, didn’t know if you wanted to pop on egg or not

[tight pilot]

Oh nah you’re good and you can wait on it a couple days if your trying to stack friends, im not super picky especially when it comes to the higher levels i know people hold often

But ty for asking

[tender geode]

Np just wanted to make sure

[primal sluice]

is there anything like CD bonus with double xp?

[tight pilot]

Coming up? I heard something was datamined but didnt look much into it tbh, probably in later May! This CD’s bonus is 1/4 hatch distance (500m for a 2km egg)

[primal sluice]

o ok

i just realize smeargle is still on for me :V

[pulsar thunder]

Thanks @tight pilot

[crisp relic]

Err002 has given 1 'General Rep' to MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor.

[pulsar thunder]

Now time to get this shiny smeargle

[tight pilot]

Anytime err & good luck!! I didnt get it on my main so i traded the only 1 i got on my alt lul

[crude nacelle]

no shinies for me on the main 😦

[odd glade]

Rip idk if it was mentioned

But catch rate for Yveltal and Xerneas dropped from 20% to 2% x_x

[crude nacelle]

every legendary in raids is always 2%

except for EX Raids, I think those are bumped to 6%

[odd glade]

But at first we thought the catch rate will be 20% for them by DM's leaks and ppl were glad about that, but earlier today they changed it back to 2%.

[crude nacelle]

there's no reason to think that any Raid Legendary will ever have a catch rate other than 2%, since it's consistently been 2% since Legendary Raids started in 2017. Again, aside from EX Raids, since those are special and invite-only

[wraith hound]

Caught the shiny smeargle , was the 15th encounter today so think that was the last one for the day, no more seem to spawn

[charred rapids]

very nice

[charred rapids]

is that not the base catch rate

[crude nacelle]

2% is the base catch rate yes. read up to see the rest of the conversation.

[tight pilot]

@radiant vigil hacker

[radiant vigil]

Why am I beating up your shinies lol

[tight pilot]

Idk i seen you online and remembered you needed GL wins so i set cp lowest and away we went kek

[radiant vigil]

Ahhhh thanks

Just the usual playing on the commute, I wasn't sure if you wanted to go all out or not lmao

[tight pilot]

Anytime, just thought i’d help out and against an Azu veteran i dont need you to beat me up that badly

[radiant vigil]

Hahaha I would've picked a friendlier team if I knew

I love my little sunny castform

There was a cresselia chilling at the back

[tight pilot]

Thats one I struggle with actually i used to run Hypno / Umbreon / rando for GL with the rando being swapped between Azu, Altaria, or a charmer usually

[radiant vigil]

Tbh the cresselia just tanks but no idea how to use the charge moves on it anyway but it worked better than the other rando picks so it stayed

[tight pilot]

Yeah idk but grassknot used to always f me up

[radiant vigil]

Yeah maybe that's why it didn't go well, pretty sure it has aurora beam or something

I didn't really need ice lol, I just set azu on dragon things

[primal sluice]

u guys had a friendly match?

[radiant vigil]

Of sorts

[tight pilot]

Yeah azu covers you with ice beam for sure and yeah kinda milli wasnt so friendly tho

[radiant vigil]

I don't have ice beam on azumarill 👀

Hmm why did I have dazzling gleam over ice beam lol

[primal sluice]

XD demand a rematch and abuse her :V

[radiant vigil]

Need to find them L1 shiny squad

[tight pilot]

I run Ice Beam & Dazzling gleam, dazzling gleam wins you the azu matchup when faced with the same but if they have hydro pump + dazzling gleam is quicker to charge up and takes out darks/dragons for ya too 🙂

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I had hydro on because I had issues with one too many bastiodons. They usually don't shield it, so me being sneaky running something a lil off meta

Don't know if people still use basto now though lol, this was from S1 days when I wanted the costume haha

[primal sluice]

yayyyy i finally get a diff leader :V

[radiant vigil]

bye cliff

[tight pilot]

Hope it was Arlo

[primal sluice]

i got arlo here XD

[tight pilot]

And f bastiodon, used to be my worst nightmare and always got me on the switch change so i could never swap in azu

[primal sluice]

i win against anyone excelt cliff :/ cuz i dont have the pokemon to fight him

btw what are the chnaces of airport having a gym? XD

[primal sluice]

am i the only one who never have a problem with that pokemon XD

[crude nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/medicham-gif-18360594

[tight pilot]

LOL probably, i hated bastiodon

Need to test out my medi as i have a good one just never played around with it as i love my rank 1 hypno

[primal sluice]

i use stunfisk against him and my stun fisk run mudshot as charge and another mud attack as fast attack

and both are critical towards him for me

[crude nacelle]

i accidentally got a rank 1 meditite on the gotcha a couple weeks ago 😮
and i hatched a perfect meditite 2 days ago oops

[lucid frigate]

Bastiodon users never shield the first move if its a pokemon that doesn’t have earthquake or something, so my shadow magnezone always landed a wild charge first and then threw mirror shots which got shielded

[primal sluice]

i guess im the only one without a rank 1 pokemon 😢

[radiant vigil]

Hehehe baited. Bastiodon can go sink in a hole

[radiant vigil]

Usually decent. They'd have statues and murals and shit usually

[primal sluice]

i hope mine got one imma be going up there for my friend to teach me how to drive XD

there is a track behind our airport so yea :3

[crude nacelle]

DFW airport has several gyms. I think Love Field does too.
for anyone who is in either of the big Dallas/Fort Worth airports

[radiant vigil]

You only need 2 stops to get one gym, so unless it's a real hole of an airport should be something xD

[primal sluice]

one of my alt finally escape cliff and the other alt meet clif :/

[radiant vigil]

One account at a time

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot Thank you ❤️

[crisp relic]

MaskedAquaKitty has given 1 'General Rep' to MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor.

[primal sluice]

sigh im the opposite of everyone everyone want cliff and im running away from cliff lmaooo

[radiant vigil]

I like abusing him with my hundo kyogre that's why

Need to teach him who's boss

[tight pilot]

Anytime AquaKitty

[primal sluice]

i dont have pokemon to fight him so i just ignore the balloon :V

[radiant vigil]

I ignore balloons half the time due to L44 scarring

[primal sluice]

i need to use my parents phone and do trading :V and pray i get some good trades in the next event time XD

[radiant vigil]

I maxed out my trades yesterday and only got one lucky

[tight pilot]

This

[primal sluice]

what does the lucky mean?

[radiant vigil]

I need 50 lucky trades for L49

[primal sluice]

ooo oof

[radiant vigil]

Going to get trading scarring

[primal sluice]

my smeargle have better pvp stats than most my pokemon lmaoooooooooo

0/11/15

[tight pilot]

Lucky has floor stat of 12/12/12 + cheaper to power up

Like half stardust cost*

Looks like this & Dust would normally be 11k to power up at this level ^

[primal sluice]

o ok thanks for the info will need to look into some more details later before the trading bonus comes back

[tight pilot]

You can get it randomly! If you get another device you can trade a bunch of random trash between your main & alt , somethings bound to go lucky eventually haha

[crude nacelle]

I have a couple trading partners, and we each have lists of pokemon we want lucky or perfect. We just keep what each other want, then trade when we have a sizable amount. 🙂

[primal sluice]

can i just trade without another device 😦

[tight pilot]

Always good idea if you have a local discord^ i mainly just swap between my alt but sometimes do that with ppl in my local discord and swap random things people want!

[tight pilot]

You got an android? If so maybe.. i hear its possible to run two apps at once so you could run two pogos with seperate accounts lmfao idk if that works tho as ive never tried and dont have an android

[primal sluice]

nope im on ios XD

[crude nacelle]

wow smh Rotom hates my tinyurl link

[tight pilot]

Gonna need another device to log into one of your alts so you can trade then! Maybe catch like 50 things to swap then ask to use a family members or something?

[primal sluice]

XD i shall see wt to do when time come :V

[crude nacelle]

I frequently use my iPad as my second device.

well, iPad or my old iPhone. 🙂

[primal sluice]

i just purify my pokemon and cp is 666 :V got my first devil pokemon

[tight pilot]

Yeah i use my old iphone, was gonna sell but

[primal sluice]

XD m purifying my pokemon for the badge but to see my dust going away 😦

[radiant vigil]

my old iphone also goes to pogo purposes only now

[tight pilot]

^ the only good purpose

[radiant vigil]

better than using the ipad which i was doing earlier haha

[ivory halo]

Quick question, can I make my buddy, Oshi lucky via trading in Pokemon GO?

And would that reset it's friendship?

[tight pilot]

Trading resets any friendship gained & km walked sadly

[crude nacelle]

Also a Pokémon can only ever be traded once. If traded once, it's stuck on that person's account forever.

[primal sluice]

soooo lets say i use alt1 to train pikachu to my main can i trade that pikachu to alt2?

[ivory halo]

OH ok, Oshi you are staying with me for life.

[radiant vigil]

No. One trade only, either to your main or alt2

[primal sluice]

o ok well if the pokemon is no use yeet it XD

[radiant vigil]

that's what i do, reroll and if trash it can be yeeted forever

[primal sluice]

o btw how do u know that u get a lucky pokemon from a trade?

[radiant vigil]

it will have a cool bokeh background and say 'lucky pokemon'

[primal sluice]

o ok ty for the info :3

[crisp relic]

Ryan Yang has given 1 'General Rep' to milliaswan.

[radiant vigil]

Looks like this

you can also see it in the background of your pokedex (it's all dark and again, bokeh)

[primal sluice]

that 1 missing hp thou XD

[radiant vigil]

tell me about it, i have TWO 98 lucky shiny groudon

different stat missing

[primal sluice]

WUHHHHHHHHHHH the pain

reeeeeeee XD

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot to awnser your questions. im doing the other ones for EXP. but Lando is the shiny I want

[radiant vigil]

i swear the only raids im seeing rn are megas everywhere want them geniesss

[crude nacelle]

Yeah, it looks just like this with the gold background. 🙂

[analog steeple]

Anyone know if we need to be in range to PvP?

[tight pilot]

I didnt know you still wanted genies or i woulda thrown you in earlier around when we battled i’ll get you tomorrow night / your morning

[analog steeple]

Trying to tinker with a gardevoir to see if it wins against a veno but trying to see if I can nab a friend for it rather than finding out the hard way

[tight pilot]

Nope! You can battle remotely!

[analog steeple]

Oooo thanks @tight pilot

[crisp relic]

Classic Christian has given 1 'General Rep' to MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor.

[tight pilot]

I got a 2500 cp venu, you can use me as test dummy just lmk if you want me to attack or not haha

[analog steeple]

What moves do ya have on it? I’m basically trying to see if I can eat a sludge bomb and still win the matchup

Let me just finish powering up real quick

[tight pilot]

Frenzy and sludge bomb

[analog steeple]

Ooo that’s the one I need haha. Gimme one sec

[radiant vigil]

All good, at this rate I don't think any shiny is going to happen

[tight pilot]

You have lando right? Just need other two? Or need all 3

[analog steeple]

Mitch all ready ! Imma just lead with gardevoir and if you can farm up a sludge bomb for me and I’ll eat it

[tight pilot]

Sounds good! Ill send battle

[analog steeple]

Woo

[radiant vigil]

I has none

[tight pilot]

Oh

@analog steeple did you get battle req

O my

[analog steeple]

Bahahahaha straight dead

[tight pilot]

I thought it would live on a little health and maybe be able to get 1 charged move off kek

[analog steeple]

Damn. Didn’t even get halfway to my psychic

[tight pilot]

[analog steeple]

Yeah I was hoping I could at least pop one off. Seems like even a shield wouldn’t save me 🤔

[radiant vigil]

Gardevoir isn't that tanky from experience 😦

[analog steeple]

Venosaur is pretty much my Achilles if I take out charizard. Zard can go pretty good against all the other dragons I see in PvP but gardevoir would be nice for an easy farm down. Guess I gotta go back to tinkering haha

[tight pilot]

Togekiss is the typical op fairy for UL i find

With flamethrower for venu just dont get hit by a sludge bomb bc ded

[analog steeple]

Yeah might just have to go back walking my toge lol

[tight pilot]

What can a-tales go to? Maybe viable (might req XL candy tho)

Ahh yup it would rippp

[analog steeple]

Sub40 pains soon though !!

[tight pilot]

5.1mil exp that aint bad at allll you’ll hit it this month ez

[broken creek]

Hey guys! When is the next time I can get rid of ,frustration‘ from my shadow mons ?

[radiant vigil]

No idea, we need to wait for niantic to announce as no set schedule 😦

[charred rapids]

who do u guys think will be in raids on go fest

[untold breach]

sylveon

[rustic nova]

with how uncommon noibat has been, what do yall think the event for shiny noibat release will be like?

this uncommon but with the shiny rates like 1/60? or spawns alot but shiny rate being like 1/450?

[radiant vigil]

Lol we'd get non shiny noibat invasion first
