Then you gotta hatch noibat out of 10km eggs with 1% hatch rate

[tight pilot]

^ yup, typically how niantic releases what they seem to think are the “coveted” shinys lol

[steel parcel]

cp47 mega beedrill ayyy

[lucid frigate]

[steel parcel]

where’s the anti-flex channel when ya need it

xerneas is landing tomorrow and this is my only beedrill lol

[pulsar thunder]

Which pokemon should I have to take down Xerneas?

[charred rapids]

Anything from metagross, dialga, all with steel type moves, mega gengar with sludge bomb, roserade with poison jab and sludge bomb.

[pulsar thunder]

Lol missed out on the Metagross CD, would a strong poison type work? I can evolve my Nidorans

[charred rapids]

Poisons will work okay, xerneas will probably need a few players anyway, as long as they all use the same Pokémon and not aggrons you’ll be fine.

[pulsar thunder]

Okay cool, aside from those I don't think I have any other strong steel/poison types

[charred rapids]

why did they decide to give it terrible moves

Because it’s Niantic

They’re prone to making terrible decisions.

true

[steel parcel]

well, there’s not much to work with in the msg

of the other fairy moves it can learn, misty terrain and misty explosion would probably not be good fast moves

[charred rapids]

better than tackle

[steel parcel]

geomancy is the only other option (or misty explosion, but that rly seems like a charged move)

xerneas doesn’t learn charm and tpc isn’t gonna let niantic mess with the msg

i guess it could learn aurora beam but idk if that would help much

[pulsar thunder]

Should I change the moves of my Melmetal for tomorrow? Right now I have thunder shock and hyper beam

[steel parcel]

swap hyper beam for flash cannon and you’re g2g

[charred rapids]

Aurora beam is a charge, most of what it learns that would be effective is charge.

[primal sluice]

wouldnt it be better to go in with full team?

[pulsar thunder]

flash cannon is charged attack? And yeah I'm more than likely going as a full team but wanna chip in and help lol

[steel parcel]

misty terrain, misty explosion, and geomancy aren’t in the game but only geomancy seems like it could be a viable fast move

since niantic already has charm as a fast move

[rustic nova]

So excited

One of my favorite shinies and I don’t have it in Pokémon GO yet

[ivory halo]

Same

[ivory bough]

When do xerneas raids come out

[crude nacelle]

May 4, 10am local time

[ivory bough]

But what about for the people that get it a day early

As in to us

[crude nacelle]

What

[ivory bough]

Like people in Australia would get the raids earlier to someone in the uk

[crude nacelle]

Right

Read the post again. 10am local time

[twilit sapphire]

It's 10 am anyways for any country in their local time

whatever 10 am is for Australia

[ivory bough]

Well 10am in Australia is 7 o’clock for me and it’s not 10 o’clock and no roads

[crude nacelle]

For reference, it’s nearly 7am in Canberra, Australia

[twilit sapphire]

You just answered your own question then

[ivory bough]

But there isn’t any raids

[twilit sapphire]

because it isn't 10 am there

raids don't start at 10 am on point

raids are random

Raids don't have a "oh your event starts at 8am? well first egg is 10am, good luck"

[ivory bough]

Mb I typed it wrong 10 am in Australia is 7 o clock for me and it’s not 10 o’clock for me and no raid

[crude nacelle]

When it hits 10am in Australia, Australia will have Xerneas raids. Wherever you are that it is not yet May 4 at 10am, you will not have Xerneas until it is May 4, 10am where you are.

[twilit sapphire]

Then just wait for it

Raids don't have schedule to appear at 10am on clock

[ivory bough]

I was just asking

[crude nacelle]

Everyone will have Xerneas raids the same amount of time. Xerneas is a shit Pokémon, so it honestly doesn’t matter lmao

[twilit sapphire]

Yeah, no need to rush

[ivory bough]

How is it shit it’s awesome

[analog steeple]

Damn krabs maybe I wanted tackle fast move xerneas

[charred rapids]

niantic fucked it

[crude nacelle]

That’s why it’s shit

[twilit sapphire]

Not all new mons come with a useful move set

Xerneas is cool as, legendary

yet not useful

[ivory bough]

Either way still cool it isn’t all just about pvp or PvE

[ivory bough]

Yh exaclty

[charred rapids]

useless tho innit

[twilit sapphire]

But we do like having useful mons for raids

[ivory bough]

Is yveltal good

[twilit sapphire]

You can't expect to go to raids with Aggrons and Blisseys

just cause they have 3k CP

[ivory bough]

Yh I know

[crude nacelle]

Can’t put it in a gym, can’t battle with it (successfully), so it’s useless to me

Yvetal is like bulkier Darkrai I think so yeah it’s good

[twilit sapphire]

It's just a dex filler while they release it later with decent move set / shiny

[charred rapids]

i think they both got nerfed

not sure

[twilit sapphire]

Either way, is just first days, there will be plenty of time and people raiding soon

Just as always, no spamming raid channels with "any raids?"

[crude nacelle]

Yveltal is weird but it’s incredibly good for Master League. It’s still outclassed in PvE though.

[tight pilot]

[charred rapids]

he's out for 2 whole weeks??

[tight pilot]

Yup then yveltal for 2 weeks

[lusty thicket]

Sorry if asked before but for the event is xerneas going to be available shiny or no?

[crude nacelle]

No

[rustic nova]

I rlly don’t get why they don’t release legendaries w their shinies

So many more ppl would raid for them if they did

[analog steeple]

Because they know folks will raid first release then shiny release

[twilit sapphire]

its a way to keep raids

and its constant rotation

[rustic nova]

Idk I get that but when they release a legendary with no shiny I either just don’t do raids at all or maybe do 1 or 2. I don’t like doing raids if I can’t get a shiny from it xd

[analog steeple]

I’m the way same way but I also see how many folks in my town server still raid a ton for non shiny legendaries then raid twice that for shinies so I get why niantic does it

[rustic nova]

Ye it makes sense cuz they get more money doing it like that but I also feel like if they had them shiny from the start they’d still get a lot cuz there’ll be more ppl doing more raids

But idk

Doing raids that aren’t shiny available is annoying cuz any time I get bad stats I’m like ‘MAN that was a waste of money’ but if the one I get with bad stats is shiny I’m not too bothered

[radiant vigil]

Niantic building up the anticipation to make us more thirsty down the line

[primal sluice]

i just realize this month ranking reset T.T and im still no where close to ace rank XD

[lusty thicket]

Darn. Thanks for the info guys

[radiant vigil]

Why are they not on my home pokestop

[abstract raven]

lol

[radiant vigil]

i have dragons instead, so not that bad

OMG goomy. Damn need to leave the house though 🤣

Fwuffffy

[radiant vigil]

Doesn't seem toooo rare, popped at home and saw a few on the radar!

[primal sluice]

@tight pilot so much for a Pokémon that almost run away missing 2 atk 😭😭😭

[radiant vigil]

omg so close and weather boosted too

mine was hot trash

[primal sluice]

tmr again i shall join on my main if there is another weather boosted one XD

[tight pilot]

Damn nice!! Both mine were pretty bad 3*’s lol

[vivid kernel]

can anyone invite me to xerneas raid

i have mega venusaur active to beat xerneas down

[radiant vigil]

Not as derp as the other one, but still kinda

[crude nacelle]

super interesting.
Xerneas's inventory icon is the inactive form but when you tap on it, the model is the active form.

which is weird, because with Tackle or Zen Headbutt, it's definitely fucking inactive

[charred rapids]

You ain’t wrong, they played my boi.....about as useful as tornadus

[crude nacelle]

rip tornadus 😦

[charred rapids]

The only therian that was worse than it’s incarnate form

[crude nacelle]

I can't wait until they shit on Mega Sceptile or something

not moves obv but like shit on its stats somehow

"Grass/Dragon is too broken so we're giving everything in the game Powder Snow"

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I love how beautiful xerneas looks, then I remembered the stats

[charred rapids]

Yeah, such a shame, they’ll do the same to Yveltal too, at least he has stab fast and charge moves though.

May very well still be worth investing in it over Xerneas.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah apparently yveltal will have Darkrai levels of useful

[crude nacelle]

That's what I've heard.

[radiant vigil]

Which is good, at least I can lucky trade for a good yveltal...

darkrai hurt cos you couldn't reroll the damn things, took me 30 raids to get one over 90iv

[crude nacelle]

It's definitely going to be ranked below Darkrai (and probably Giratina-O) for PvE, but it's going to be insane in PvP with its stat distribution and movepool.

[radiant vigil]

my gira-o army lives strong to this day, so useful

[crude nacelle]

Oh, so I just checked. The nerf from 4514 to 3781 (as CPs at 100% IVs Level 40) was the expected 9% stat nerf that Niantic does with every Pokémon over CP 4000 at Level 40.
This is a post in TSR about a week ago, before the nerf was applied in the Game Master
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/mzihac/xerneas_stats_im_confused/

It also links to this Gamepress article (currently not working, there must be an issue at Gamepress) that explains this nerf: https://gamepress.gg/pokemongo/pokemon-stat-change

Sorted by cp, pre nerf post nerf
Slaking 5308 4431
Regigigas* 5182 4346
Mewtwo 4995 4178
Kyogre 4914 4115
Groudon 4914 4115
Dialga* 4820 4038
Arceus* 4774 3989
Palkia* 4762 3991
Ho-oh 4618 3863
Rayquaza 4571 3835
Giratina Origin* 4399 3683
Giratina Altered 4040 3379

Two and a half years ago, these were the Pokémon that were subject to the 9% nerf, with * meaning unreleased

those numbers are level 40 100% btw
but you can see how quite a few pokemon were taken down a peg

[charred rapids]

Man, if these were to have had never gotten a nerf, Lordy.

[radiant vigil]

5k slaking Omg 🤣

[brisk shadow]

Hi I have a question about all the dratini and bagons that have been spawning, should we just release them or is there any reason to keep them for now?

considering that the x2 transfer candy event is like 4 weeks away

[charred rapids]

I mean dratini gets a spotlight hour

[radiant vigil]

It's up to what you want to do with them...I'm just going to reroll for candy / dragon badge

[charred rapids]

Which has the 2x transfer candy, in 6 days not 4 weeks

[brisk shadow]

how do you reroll?

[radiant vigil]

Trading

Reroll ivs to see if they get better after trading

[brisk shadow]

are you going to trade them all?

[brisk shadow]

Oh sweet!

[radiant vigil]

However many I can get on 2 accounts

I have a lucky trade quest to work on anyway,gives me a reason

[brisk shadow]

oh and it only costs 100 stardust to trade I see

so I guess you trade your pokemon between your accounts, then release them next week on thursday if no 100 IVs?

[charred rapids]

Tuesday

[radiant vigil]

Tbh I have enough candy that not really fussed for 2x transfer. But that's the general idea yea

[brisk shadow]

What do you guys do with all the excess Meltan Candy btw? Is there any use for it?

[tight pilot]

Other than maxing one out / 400 to evo meh, melmetal is pretty good all around in like all leagues for GBL (great/ultra/master) so could have 1 for each then yeah its just stacks of candy lol

[radiant vigil]

I used my candy to evolve a bunch of melmetal and traded them away for things 🤣

Helped me finish my main series pokedex

[primal sluice]

i once again fell asleep on my gifts last night XD

few mins mins after our raid last night i was out XD

[odd glade]

Did they change rocket Balloons hours?

[primal sluice]

nope i dont think so

12am-6am-12pm-6pm

[charred rapids]

think they increased the rate

of them appearing

for this event

[odd glade]

I didnt get them at 6pm but at 4:00pm

[primal sluice]

interesting then idk much abt it XD

[odd glade]

I thought so too but I feel like it goes by 1-4-7-10, not sure yet...

[odd glade]

All good we will find out soon

[vital gorge]

Can i add 3 people to do my challenge

The gift one

My fc is 2713 4997 7772

[charred rapids]

#pogo_friend_codes

[tight pilot]

First time mega evo’ing anything, just find i never need to / hate the way they implicated megas but figured i should start on that badge so figured id play around with this for Xerneas raids, mangles pretty nicely

[charred rapids]

only time i did was for kanto for extra candy

[odd glade]

Okay team rocket hours are 12 - 4 - 8

Can confirm

[charred rapids]

for this event only?

[odd glade]

Probably

[primal sluice]

what abt the morning?

[odd glade]

Same I believe

[primal sluice]

o aight thanks for the info :3

[crisp relic]

Ryan Yang has given 1 'General Rep' to Riko リコ.

[hardy minnow]

[lucid frigate]

Cottonee’s shiny hasn’t been released at the moment

[hardy minnow]

[crisp relic]

[steel parcel]

[subtle bough]

[crisp relic]

Hon|YEET has given 1 'General Rep' to forgivin.

[flint flint]

No worries!

Thanks for helping

[primal sluice]

pooor qt

[steel parcel]

it's okay

right after posting that 2 goomy spawned nearby and i silver pinap'd em both

[primal sluice]

i still havent encounter any XD

[primal sluice]

seem like u rlly want them XD

[steel parcel]

just channeling my inner karen

and complaining until i get what i want

[primal sluice]

XD u plan on getting one for gbl?

[steel parcel]

if i get a good one!

[primal sluice]

wish u all the best in getting a good one

[odd glade]

We all have an inner Karen inside

Tbh I am surprised that Goomy is not as rare as we thought, I've seen a couple around my house,
But to get a Goodra we will have to finish the all research for the rainy lure as the final prize

[scenic finch]

Any tips on Cliff? I’ve tried to fight him so many times, and can’t get past his second Pokémon. I can beat the other two leaders and Giovanni, but not Cliff, and it’s driving me crazy lol

[primal sluice]

ayeeee welcome to my life lmaoooo

[scenic finch]

Well at least I feel better knowing I’m not alone lol

[primal sluice]

if u have heracross u can save him for the last pokemon he have that is all the tips i got lmaoooo

besides that is all abt having the right type pokemon for his first pokemon in which i dont have XD

[analog steeple]

Do you have a Swampert? Swampert can clear the first two shields off aero and can get another hydro off

[primal sluice]

gimme urs XD

[scenic finch]

Yeah, that Aerodactyl is the worst. I think the problem is that I don’t either. I’ve got two that can take him down together but not one solid hitter for him.

I don’t have Swampert or any of its evolutions sadly. Good to know what to look out for though!

[analog steeple]

Do you have anything with weather ball?

Might be able to spam off a few. Main thing is getting those shields off

[primal sluice]

morning milli :3

[pulsar thunder]

Radnom question, how do ppl figure out if a pokemon is 97% or 90% and such

[radiant vigil]

Appraisal

[radiant vigil]

You spy me typing 👀

[primal sluice]

was gonna say pokegnie :3

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I can see that and that's a website?

[primal sluice]

no i just caught u lurking :3

[pulsar thunder]

Oh just googled it and its an app

[primal sluice]

pokegenie is basically a app on ios

[radiant vigil]

Tbh since they introduced this to appraise I've barely used pokegenie XD I figure out -1 is 98, -2 is 95, -3 is 93 Etc 🤣

If it's too many minuses then I don't care about it

[primal sluice]

XD i use it for my GBL

[radiant vigil]

yeah pokegenie is much better for pvp cos i can't math that on top of my head

[pulsar thunder]

Oh so you just add them up and divide by the sum essentially to get 97.777 rounded to 98%?

[radiant vigil]

yeah, pretty much

it's more i've memorised the numbers up to 89 down from 100

[pulsar thunder]

I don't really care for battle just wanna evolve the best I guess

Do you evolve if it's 89% and up? I've just been evolving 3* and if it looks like it is near the max

[radiant vigil]

ah you're like me then, then it's easy. just do your team appraisal and math it from the bars

[primal sluice]

XD i didnt rlly care abt it but cho and others teach me too many info for not being on it now XD

[radiant vigil]

i usually prioritse 15atk too. like a 96 with 13 atk kills me lol

[primal sluice]

during CD i would like to hoard mine up and when i use lucky egg i evolve them for 1k xp per evolve

[pulsar thunder]

Lol okay I feel like with that info it will start annoying me now

[primal sluice]

but for like fully max out cp and stuff i would prefer to do it on hundos only

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I only have 2 that are full stars

[radiant vigil]

some pokemon are what they call 'technical' hundos i.e. they function like hundos even as 98s

[primal sluice]

besides that i only evolve pokemon when im using lucky egg and then dispose them

[radiant vigil]

so yeah i've maxed out 98s as you can see XD

[primal sluice]

and now i know that T.T

[radiant vigil]

(when L40 was max haha)

[pulsar thunder]

Lol I don't know why but I save my lucky eggs for Community Days

[radiant vigil]

good reason to, bonus catch, and people like to do friendship xp on comm days

[primal sluice]

i mean i use my lucky egg only when opening friendship gifts and it take abt 10 min for me to open 30 eggs and then the rest i just evolve pokemon unlessssss it is bonus catch XD

[pulsar thunder]

Oh that's smart, do you just buy lucky eggs then?

[primal sluice]

nope i still have mine from leveling up

i dont use lucky egg that much

[radiant vigil]

i hoard my lucky eggs XD i don't buy them, so i have them for stacking multiple friendship 100ks

[primal sluice]

my main prio as usual is to get level 38 XD

[pulsar thunder]

Oh okay nice, I'm 32 rn

[primal sluice]

so u dont care abt ultra friend? XD

[primal sluice]

34 atm....

on my main my other 2 alt is 30

[radiant vigil]

don't have enough eggs for that XD if it's at the same time as a best friend pop yes, but not alone

[primal sluice]

XD imma msg u when time come for our ultra friends on all 3 acc :V

[pulsar thunder]

Don't ultra friends only matter if they're close to you?

[primal sluice]

so just incase u wanna pop that egg

[primal sluice]

well in a way yes but we mostly coordinate on xp

[radiant vigil]

yeah, who knows, maybe i can pop something else at the same time 😉 i do have one best friend lined up who doesn't care when i pop it'

so i can pop that best friend + your ultra x 3, that's still 500k

[primal sluice]

hitting ultra friend gives u 50k xp and using lucky egg gives u 100k xp

[pulsar thunder]

Interesting, yeah I don't have anyone close to me to make the trades so I've never bothered

[primal sluice]

XD i might give u a rough time cuz i like to hoard max gift like opening all 30 gifts XD

i dont like to leave out

[primal sluice]

XD ahem there is always time to make alt ahem

[pulsar thunder]

Lol so that's prob why ppl don't always open gifts everyday

[primal sluice]

just pretend i never say that XD

[pulsar thunder]

And lol it's been too much of a grind with one account

[primal sluice]

i always open gift

[radiant vigil]

eh i'm patient, more times means more stack

[primal sluice]

but like how im on rural area at max interaction i can do with people is 45 so i prefer to send gifts out which is 30 per day if i time it properly( getting the 15 gift from buddy per day) and then i open 30 diff gift from people who didnt interact as yet

[pulsar thunder]

Oh okay

[primal sluice]

XD rn common days imma cry XD

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I'm in a decent suburb so I can plan walks around pokestops lol I used to just walk and hatch eggs before

[radiant vigil]

yeah i use my days in the city to grind stops, so i usually only send, not open XD

[primal sluice]

cuz on my main not much ultra gift and not much the second star gift so more of it is 1st star friendship gift XD

[primal sluice]

u better open mine when u have free slot to open XD

[radiant vigil]

i usually forget to open anything

i spend all day sending XD

[primal sluice]

well my area is like a dessert :/

[radiant vigil]

yum

[primal sluice]

last night after our raid i fell asleeep :V

[pulsar thunder]

Lol what?

[radiant vigil]

desert

was throwing a joke there XD

[primal sluice]

XD dont mind my spelling :V

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I got that was just shocked Devil lives in a desert like Kuwait or UAE

[primal sluice]

im accustom to typing fast :V and no like my area have no stop no gym nothing just house ocean and main road T.T

[radiant vigil]

ocean is nice 😮

[pulsar thunder]

That's crazy

[primal sluice]

XD most people would be discourage to play this game :V

[primal sluice]

XD to be exact is a river lmaooo

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I would be hahaha I played when the game out in 2016 and didn't have a lot of close gyms so I stopped after a few weeks

It got better this year/last year I guess so picked it up again

[radiant vigil]

i live next to a river 👀

half my map is either water or closed off reserve XD

[primal sluice]

i created acc around that time i believe but never play it cuz lack of interest and only started 3months i think

[pulsar thunder]

Damn and you're already 34

I guess I played inefficiently until like level 25 or so though

[radiant vigil]

it was inefficient until friendship came LOL

[primal sluice]

shhhhh i know i sound that bad T.T

[pulsar thunder]

Hahaha like I prob didn't start raiding until rayquaza

[primal sluice]

that is how i am :V

[radiant vigil]

ok that's a lot of water

[pulsar thunder]

Lol at least you get rocket balloons

[primal sluice]

XD

wait till i have to fight clifff lmaooo

[radiant vigil]

everyone gets rocket balloons XD

[pulsar thunder]

Lol I've been getting cliff the past few days, he's haunting me for not catching the shiny aero

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

i've literally just had arlo and sieera

i haven't seen cliff in ages

[primal sluice]

i dont have dose pokemon T.T all mine are ppretty much common type pokemon XD

[primal sluice]

[pulsar thunder]

Lol you need kyogre to come back

[primal sluice]

[pulsar thunder]

Hahaha I'm grinding for that now, it seems to be a more common spawn rn

[primal sluice]

atm yes it is

but like at my area there is only 3 spawn spots but like i hardly going out of my house cuz neighbor had people coming in from overseas and so on and now mom got me in the house lock XD

so basically im only on for sending and receiving gifts and balloon and maybe a raid XD

[pulsar thunder]

Oh wow haha that's brutal

[radiant vigil]

I'll need him soon though, need to beat all 3 leaders. Of course already found arlo haha

[primal sluice]

XD i shall have my freedom when i hit level38 and hope ninatic aprrove both my gym and stops for me T.T

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

Just one is enough

[primal sluice]

cuz my alt with the hundo beldum can use that extra candies lmaooo

[primal sluice]

no no no im being generous here im sending all :V

[radiant vigil]

I like arlo, he's the easiest to take out. Sometimes I can do it with one gira-a

[primal sluice]

what a flex smh

[pulsar thunder]

I haven;t had Arlo in a while I don't think. I usually get Sierra and then Cliff

[primal sluice]

i usually get cliff for 2+ balloons before it change lmaooo

and what i say another balloon with cliff sigh

[radiant vigil]

Here it is 👀

[tight pilot]

“That girl is poison”

[rotund copper]

But that girl isn’t

[radiant vigil]

I'd like some extra evil metagross on the side plz

Also that poison looks susssss

[dusty zephyr]

Should I evolve this now?

[primal sluice]

i forgot to open ur gift lmaooo and im already at limit T.T so if u can open it instead it be nice XD

[crude nacelle]

Man, GBL is so difficult after I've been out of PVP for so long.

Not that I've started playing again, I'm just trying to figure out what I have that would be good for GBL.

[analog steeple]

For UL venosaur is putting in work in my neck of the woods

[crude nacelle]

rip i gotta find a good one then

[radiant vigil]

Ok I gotcha

[analog steeple]

Empoleon puts in work too! Been seeing a lot of empoleon + double dragons

[jaunty veldt]

Just wondering, can you get a legendary from the new challenges?

[crude nacelle]

i've got a decent empoleon. the IVs would work for either GL or UL, but I'm not sure if I should power it up for UL.

[radiant vigil]

No, only raids or GBL

[jaunty veldt]

Oh that’s sad

[crude nacelle]

GBL is at least free 🙂

i did check, and I've got a perfect Drowzee, Swablu, Wingull, and Umbreon (with Last Resort!)
now I just get the BB all of them 😂 😂

[radiant vigil]

Haven't had free legendaries via research breakthrough in a while now..

[crude nacelle]

And I've got a rank 5 Talonflame, already powered up and double-moved.
I just need to BB it too.

I miss the breakthrough legendaries.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah they were actually exciting

[crude nacelle]

I remember getting all those Level 15 Lugia and trying to find new friends to swap them with 🙂

[primal sluice]

ty ty :3

[crisp relic]

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

[crude nacelle]

oh, just in case anyone will benefit from this.
You can TM Outrage onto Salamence and you can TM Draco Meteor onto Dragonite. Just for this event though.

[analog steeple]

Krabs it sounds like you know this already but umbreon is a monster in either UL or GL

[crude nacelle]

oh i know 🙂

[radiant vigil]

Last resort umbo the beast

[analog steeple]

I still need to find a good one

Such a tanky boi

[crude nacelle]

I used the Umbreon name trick finally during Eevee Community Day on my perfect Eevee.
I'm so so so glad I did.

[radiant vigil]

Would you go for hundo umbreon for UL? 👀

[crude nacelle]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

I have a few hundo eevees that I've never evolved 🤣 don't know what to do with them

[crude nacelle]

let me check my XL Eevee Candy

XL Hundo Umbreon w/ Last Resort is a fuckin monster in UL, according to PVPoke

[radiant vigil]

I'm not surprised, even in S1 everyone was going nuts over last resort umbo

So I could evolve one, shame not shiny though 🤣

[crude nacelle]

it was nuts in TSA when I played too!

yeah mine's not shiny, but i'm glad I don't have to hunt for that hundo

I need to keep a spreadsheet of all the stuff I have and want for GBL.
because the in-game inventory management isn't cutting it

I have 257 Eevee Candy XL, so I'm getting really close

also I just found a rank 1 UL Sylveon 🤡 what is this game

not in the wild, in my inventory

[radiant vigil]

Lol cos I always just delete 0,1,2 star my pvp inventory is probs horrible 🤣

@primal sluice I need a cliff plz

[crude nacelle]

I mass delete everything that's not 4*, so I feel you.
But I've been trying to check things out that are pvp-relevant, and keep if the IVs are good.

it's just so hard when the mass delete is like 4 taps

[radiant vigil]

and the new filters are so convenient ... tap, select, delete

[crude nacelle]

age0-6&!shiny&!legendary&!mythical&!4*&!buddy1-4&!evolvenew&!lucky&!@special&!201&!distance500-&!+Squirtle&!+Rattata&!+Magikarp&!+Machop&!+Larvitar&!+Absol&!+Mawile&!+Gible&!+Riolu&!+Timburr&!+Darumaka&!+Litwick&!+Axew&!+Audino&!+Deino&!+Froakie&!↑&!PVP&!☆&!trade&!Kait&!Megan&!XL&!XS

[radiant vigil]

although it's annoying that 3* and 4* are lumped together, want them separate

[crude nacelle]

for reference, that's what i use to filter the mass delete

oh, i build my own strings. makes it a lot easier.

[radiant vigil]

omg there was a distance search string, i knew it

i used to build search strings for comm days to insta filter things XD

[crude nacelle]

i feel that! now it's not necessary lol

[radiant vigil]

before they have 4* and all, it was hard coded cps for hundos...

[crude nacelle]

if you want my string builder, i can link it here 👀
it's for iPhone only

[radiant vigil]

i had different shortcuts keyed for different search strings

yeah, i have iphone, used it a lot

would be keen to see

[crude nacelle]

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/5374e8abbe36454f991a91f9db1d3b4a

super nice, and it stores it on icloud just in case you forget to paste it in-game

[radiant vigil]

ooh it's a shortcut...downloaded so many random ones XD

it's so handy, will have a play

[crude nacelle]

i love shortcuts so much

definitely! let me know if there's anything that needs to be tweaked!

[radiant vigil]

the things that people have done with them are insane

[crude nacelle]

i know! i'm so jealous of the things people know how to do

[radiant vigil]

i broke my favourite one when i updated to 14.5...sad

[crude nacelle]

it happens 😦
maybe the dev fixed it?

[radiant vigil]

i need to check, it was just a pain to setup though

so i cry a little at setting it up again, but it was so useful

ooh the shortcut works well...dangerous dangerous

[crude nacelle]

dangerous 😮

[radiant vigil]

time to rebuild the search string library

[crude nacelle]

oh no what happened

[radiant vigil]

nah as in, i got rid of it because most were old comm day stuff

now i can create a nice fresh one anew

[crude nacelle]

oh awesome!

[radiant vigil]

it's a good, excited feeling

[crude nacelle]

sometimes if i'm feeling lazy and i don't want to edit the excluded pokemon list on my phone, i'll open up the txt file from icloud on my computer and modify it there.
since it pulls that txt file every time you run the shortcut

[radiant vigil]

i'd probably just code some specific short hand for each text string

like !trash for the daily clean up and all XD

[crude nacelle]

oh you know you can save the search strings in-game now, right?

and if you play on multiple devices, they appear on all devices

[radiant vigil]

in-game? how haha

mine are just in the text replacement settings of ios lol

[crude nacelle]

i used to do the same until they introduced this feature

in your pokemon inventory, tap the search bar, then tap see more. there you'll see your Recent searches. you can long press on the one you'd like to save, and it'll show up under the Favorites heading. then you can long press it under Favorites, and either rename or remove it

[radiant vigil]

omg i did not know that was a thing, that is amazing

[crude nacelle]

i agree!

[radiant vigil]

thanks @crude nacelle

[crisp relic]

milliaswan has given 1 'General Rep' to Krabs.

[crude nacelle]

😄

[radiant vigil]

i think i know what i'm going to do tonight set these all up

[crude nacelle]

I have one for shinies and 4* for when I gotcha while the game is in the background, and I've got another for the trash string!

tbh that's a good idea. huge time saver

[radiant vigil]

i can finally have a separate 4* search omg XD and it's probably time to rework my evolve search string too haha

[crude nacelle]

probably 😂

i'm past the Level 50 exp cap, so I don't have to worry about evolutions anymore 🙂

wild dragonair makes me so happy omg
free XL Candy

[radiant vigil]

weow nice, i haven't done it in a while, but i might consider it for after i pop the friendship exp

[crude nacelle]

do it!

[radiant vigil]

still need like 50 mil lol

[crude nacelle]

oh OOF

[radiant vigil]

i can probs make 49 this year, but not 50 haha

[crude nacelle]

You can do it!

The 49 tasks are killing me right now.
I've got everything done except the platinum badges. I still need 2 plats.
Which'll probably end up being Dragon type and Great League wins.

I'd do wayfarer but lazy

[radiant vigil]

ah i'm grinding out the lucky trades rn, hence i need the trash string haha

[crude nacelle]

oh yeah, that really helped me!

[radiant vigil]

i was going to do wayfarer, but then my rating just tanked, but my acceptance rate went up...

[crude nacelle]

I have friends that constantly want to swap, so i was able to save the pokemon they wanted so they could just take my account and swap

huh, that's weird lol

[radiant vigil]

that's going to be me with the new gen 6 mons haha

i don't get wayfarer rating sometimes, so even though i'm close i'm worried i'm going to fall out of the band where it doesn't count again

so also working on GBL / photobomb for the last plat i need

[crude nacelle]

yeah, i'm the same way.
tbh, a friend took my wayfarer account and voted while she was trying to get a lot of submissions through.
niantic if you're reading this they were all eligible she just wanted them faster
i just need like 50 more agreements but wayfarer stinky

[radiant vigil]

i would've had the wayfarer plat ages ago if i voted only using my account...except i used to vote on my brother's as well to get things through faster

so i get your friend, i really do, i was that person

so now i'm stuck with 170 to go, and wayfarer very stinky

[crude nacelle]

OOF

honestly my biggest problem is that i don't know how much time i should be spending on each submission. and i don't perfectly know the submission guidelines

[radiant vigil]

the criteria keeps changing and can be very area specific so it's hard

[crude nacelle]

also i have no motivation because i think i've submitted basically everything around me

[radiant vigil]

i spend as little time as i humanly can LOL

[crude nacelle]

yeah 😦

[radiant vigil]

and my badge is the only motivation, because i keep getting rejected non stop

[crude nacelle]

😦

[radiant vigil]

like i nominate a stop, gets rejected twice, someone submits a shittier version of it, it's approved

[crude nacelle]

at one point, i was leveling up an ingress account so i could do more submissions
but honestly that game kinda sucks

jesus what

[radiant vigil]

it was valid, but it was like reviewer luck or something...

exact same nomination -_- their photo was worse than mine

[crude nacelle]

go submit a new photo and have yours voted in 🙂

[radiant vigil]

yeah nah ingress, if i need more submissions i'll ask my L40 friends, got plenty 😂

[crude nacelle]

i think you can do that in-game now

[radiant vigil]

i'm not fussed about the actual photo, more i spent more time on nominations and it's still rejected. someon half asses it and it goes through

[crude nacelle]

yeah right? like i have plenty of L40 friends that do 0 submissions. I'm sure I could ask for their logins to submit more things

yeah i feel that 😦

[radiant vigil]

so yeah, i've kinda given up on this area XD i won't get any more new gyms anyway, it was mainly for the stops, but i'm wasting my time here

even when i clearly spell things out in the supporting info nope XD fountains are eligible POIs

[crude nacelle]

wait which kinda fountains?

i moved into an apartment like 3 years ago and there was a fountain in the middle of the lake (in range of my apartment), but it was reported and removed

[radiant vigil]

it's a fountain at the base of an apartment, but in a garden and 100% publically accessible

[crude nacelle]

i was so salty

ooooooooooooo

[radiant vigil]

ahhh i know why the lake one was removed

[crude nacelle]

yeah, the fountains that basically just shoot lake or pond water up aren't eligible

[radiant vigil]

cos you can't access the fountain in the lake...in my case, i could touch the fountain itself safely haha

[crude nacelle]

they were at one point though

[radiant vigil]

it got rejected for private residential property like twice

[crude nacelle]

i believe things that are in a gated apartment complex are still eligible, since it's not one person's property.

oh wtf

[radiant vigil]

it's not gated either i'm submitting as a non resident of that building

[crude nacelle]

LMAO

i hate wayfarer sometimes all the time

[radiant vigil]

^ this

if apartments were PRP, my entire suburb wouldn't have any stops, cos it's entirely apartments haha

would break that 50m rule haha

[crude nacelle]

lmaooooo i'm so glad they're not

not that i live in an apartment right now, but it's nice when i visit friends

[radiant vigil]

that would be stupid, but you can't get too passive aggressive in the supporting info over that, or you'd get reported

[crude nacelle]

what do you mean?

[radiant vigil]

i literally had 'apartments are not PRP' 'this is publically accessible' 'fountains are eligible' in the supporting info, still rejected what can i do

[crude nacelle]

hope that niantic requires retraining of wayfarer every month or so, but that won't happen

[radiant vigil]

and i set the supporting pic to show the street to show it's public access, but nah XD

tbh they change the guidelines so much it's hard

like playgrounds are ok, but not maccas playgrounds lol

some people know the 2nd fact, some don't lmao

[crude nacelle]

i'd love if there weren't as many restrictions on what's eligible

like, i know why they don't want mcdonald's playgrounds to be eligible, but would it really hurt if there were just a few more waypoints?

[radiant vigil]

some of the extra waypoints that get through are silly though..in our state we have survey markers which are literally 10cm diameter circles embedded in concrete with a unique number, and they're apparently 4* nominations

[crude nacelle]

that's kinda dumb 😂

[radiant vigil]

and it gets confusing cos most are in residential areas, so PRP applies, but then you need to guess distance, and it becomes nonsense XD

i hate them because when i try them they get rejected, but when others try them they get approved. i cut some slack for areas with no stops, but if it's lit i'm rejecting that nonsense

[crude nacelle]

the 50m thing seems so silly tbh
like, if something is publicly accessible then does it matter how close it is to a house? 😂

[radiant vigil]

apparently it's not a pogo problem but an ingress thing

i asked about this when someone asked me to remove teh stop i created cos it was 'too close'

[crude nacelle]

that's really interesting

[radiant vigil]

they need to get real close to the POI or something? idk

[crude nacelle]

do they? in my limited experience with ingress, it was kinda like pokestop distance to interact with the portal

[radiant vigil]

i don't play, this was what someone else told me when i was like why do you want me to remove the stop?

[crude nacelle]

meanwhile, my friend and i are driving around neighborhoods at 1am, driving into people's driveways to get snorlax or what the fuck ever

ohhhhh fair

[radiant vigil]

hahaha

some people are just touche...it was a street library, if you put it there you accept randos going up to it LOL

[crude nacelle]

yeah, i agree. what. you wouldn't expect everyone to avoid those libraries that are literally meant to share books

[radiant vigil]

i guess they think if you have a street library you bought it to create your pokestop or something

[crude nacelle]

honestly in 2021, that's probably true

[radiant vigil]

i've seen a lot of faked pokestops though, so i can't deny

[crude nacelle]

i don't understand how people do that

especially after reviewing waypoints

[radiant vigil]

most people submitting aren't reviewing

my friends got a faked pokestop through once, but we all review so we know how

[crude nacelle]

oh, i meant that after seeing the reviewing process, i don't know how those are let through

[radiant vigil]

sometimes you accept street view is old, particularly if the supporting info says 'new POI, not in street view' etc...

[crude nacelle]

ohhhhhhh

[radiant vigil]

friend photoshopped art into an empty brick wall lol

[crude nacelle]

LMAO that's brilliant

[radiant vigil]

but he actually knows what he's doing so it was convincing

it's been removed now though, probs cos someone realised it wasn't there lasted a while though

[crude nacelle]

59 more fucking dragons

hey, that's pretty cool though. i wouldn't expect any faked stops to last, but it's cool it was up for a while

[radiant vigil]

it was also somewhere semi dank so people didn't check too hard haha

kinda petty wayfarer revenge

[crude nacelle]

honestly i don't blame you

[radiant vigil]

it's sooo frustrating XD this is why most people who start quit lol, i plan to once i get that plat haha

it's a waste of time with little return mostly

[crude nacelle]

i agree 😦
i'll eventually start again to get my plat. but it'll be when i have nothing better to do tbh

[radiant vigil]

yeah i literally do 10 at a time because that's the limit of my patience and if I get something else plat first, byeeee

[crude nacelle]

i just don't want to look at that gold medal anymore 😦

[radiant vigil]

i swear i literally celebrated getting it gold, then they introduced platinum and i died a little inside

[crude nacelle]

Yeah, that’s how I was with most of my medals 😦

I’m going to hop off for a while and find something to eat. Later!

[radiant vigil]

cya

[steel parcel]

i buddied my goomy to get candy but i keep clicking on it trying to catch it

bc i have a very smooth brain

so that’s what’s going on

[floral gate]

You guys think it would be better to evolve a 3 star Ralts into Gardevoir or Gallade?

[radiant vigil]

depends on what you'd use it for, but gardevoir is probably more useful

[primal sluice]

atleast u can beat cliff im watching my alt and wondering do i even need this shadow legendary here lmaooo

[steel parcel]

skip moltres

shadow arms >>>> shadow legs

[radiant vigil]

We all waiting for shadow mewtwo 👀

[primal sluice]

and i still have to fight cliff lmaooooooo

[radiant vigil]

I still need to as well to get my radar xD

[primal sluice]

girl i still need to find one more fairy type pokemon on my rural area lmaooo

[tight pilot]

Psa; dont forget to get your exclusive move Dragonite/Salamence if you dont have them from before lol forgot this was even a feature of this event

[fervent lantern]

Wooo first legendary

[pulsar thunder]

Do we just evolve for it?

[tight pilot]

You can evolve or use charged TM apparently

So if you have an already good one use charged tm

[charred rapids]

has anyone noticed trainer tips has been just pissed off at niantic lately?

[pulsar thunder]

I was talking to a few ppl here about good stats and not sure if I should evolve the ones I have lol

I have 12 days though right?

[tight pilot]

Yeah you can wait till closer to the end of the event! You might get a shiny or something you wanna evo

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah I've been holding off evolving the bagon I walked mine for like 2 months lol

[floral gate]

What are the exclusive dragonite/salamence moves?

@tight pilot

[tight pilot]

Dragonite = Draco Meteor & Salamence = Outrage , outrage makes salamence to a better dragon attacker by farrr & draco meteor is meh, its okay to have for GBL but not a super necessity but nice to have 1 or 2

[static flare]

Can someone help me to do the Xerneas's raid

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot was asleep T-T

[tight pilot]

Aren’t you like only an hour behind me? no worries tho i’ll ping if i see any more 🌴

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot I just woke up lol

[tight pilot]

I wishh i gotta be up and working by 8-9 most days or atleast be online pretending im working

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot not shiny T_T

[odd glade]

I really don't understand people who don't have my discord (probably added me in the past for raids), sending me a daily gifts for ultra/best friend and when there's one day left they stop sending, expecting me to send the last gift... I mean if u knew at the beginning you wanna egg why did you bother sending me daily o-o

[primal sluice]

Would he be good in pvp btw is a shadow type Pokémon

[abstract raven]

@steady acorn I keep missing your invites

@tight pilot Im still gonna do Palm Trees so I can send one to SwSh

[tight pilot]

Ouuuuu you got it but sounds good i’ll keep inviting (tomorrow bc its 11pm here )

[fallen quarry]

can you spoof locations to trade with friends?

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot Thanks ❤️

[crisp relic]

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

[faint ferry]

region exclusive pokemon are still bullshit... 😒

[analog steeple]

Just a heads up we don’t discuss spoofing in here

[fallen quarry]

oh, sorry! i just wanted to help my friend out cause his pokemon inventory is completely full :'(

[faint ferry]

trading pokemon wont reduce how many he has...

[fallen quarry]

right but like, i could give him a useless one he could just transfer out

[faint ferry]

might as well just send them to the grinder

[fallen quarry]

idk....he got a lot of giratinas...

[faint ferry]

do you have giratina yourself?

[fallen quarry]

no :(

[faint ferry]

youd be looking at obscene amounts of dust trading legendaries just to make some space

[radiant vigil]

Trading is good for extra candy + chance of better ivs. Also once it's traded if it's still trash it'll never get good, grind with no regrets

[faint ferry]

^

[radiant vigil]

If you're not best friends that giratina trade will be expensive if you don't have the dex entry either. And it's a special so you can only do one a day

[faint ferry]

even as best friends, its still 80k for the first once since you dont have it in dex already and then another 40k each after

[radiant vigil]

If he's got a lot, I suggest deleting them when 2x transfer candy comes around on Tuesday spotlight hour

[fallen quarry]

im new to pogo so im not really sure how a lot of it works, but hes got like 10 giratinas

[radiant vigil]

Ah it's 40k for non dex, then only 800 dust if you both have dex entry as best friends

[faint ferry]

no, its 40k for legendaries or shinies that both traders already have

unless its been changed recently

[radiant vigil]

Its definitely 800 if you both have. I reroll legendaries a lot

40k is for new legendaries / shinies at best friends, if you're not best friends it could be up to 1 mil dust

[faint ferry]

1m is obscene

[fallen quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/gibbon-swoop-creeper-run-monkey-gif-17551306

remote trade pass when?

[faint ferry]

remote trade pass so i can finally get kangaskhan, mr mime, and tauros

[radiant vigil]

they should just let you do it if you're best friends honestly XD world wide trading...

[faint ferry]

the trade system in general is a bit shit

the dust cost is stupid, distance restriction is stupid, special trades are stupid

even worse, purified mons count as special

[primal sluice]

i have to use incense just to catch 15 fairy type pokemon :/

[fallen quarry]

omg where i live theres nothing but fairy type pokemon

[faint ferry]

later stages of the event want you to catch 20 and 40 fairy types

[radiant vigil]

i thought it was over when i nuked giovanni, turns out there's more lol

[primal sluice]

XD im not going till there :V

i just want my legendary and im ok :V

[faint ferry]

finally a deino after like 30 eggs...

[radiant vigil]

it very shit for all reasons listed XD regionals encourage $$ use when they're in raids

[primal sluice]

go tell a dragonite to spawn on my incense as a wild spawn

[faint ferry]

lol

[radiant vigil]

i haven't seen any dragonite but i've seen a lot of dragonair. guaranteed xl candy yay

[faint ferry]

ive gotten enough dratini candy this week for 2 dragonites

didnt have it in dex before

salamence too

[primal sluice]

atleast u having dragon air i rarely seeing dratini T.T

[faint ferry]

pog, shiny dratini

[radiant vigil]

i'm actually surprised by how commonish dragons are. only found one goomy tho haha

[faint ferry]

theyre boosted spawns this event

[fallen quarry]

depends on where you live tho, right?

[faint ferry]

goomy still rare ish

bagon and dratini are both super common atm

[radiant vigil]

they're boosted for me whether i'm at home or in the city

[faint ferry]

^

[primal sluice]

how many radar can i stack?

the leader radar

[radiant vigil]

i had 3 at once as a reward

just meant that i kept getting rocket balloons, and i have leader + giovanni one active at the same time

[primal sluice]

o ok

[faint ferry]

if there is a stack limit, its probably 3

just a guess though

[radiant vigil]

yeah i haven't gone higher than 3 but i don't buy them either

[primal sluice]

is a good thing i dont purify all my pokemon lmaooo

[radiant vigil]

shadows are stronger, so better to leave as is

[primal sluice]

well mission say other wise ..

[faint ferry]

just purify some trash ones

[primal sluice]

yep XD

[faint ferry]

zubats are a good candidate

cost almost nothing and always suck

[primal sluice]

i got a hundo golbat or how u spell him XD

[radiant vigil]

i literally hoard zubat/golbat for this monthly forced purify

[faint ferry]

i almost never see zubats from grunts anymore

[rustic nova]

can you only become lucky friends through gifts? or does battling/trading work as well

[charred rapids]

Yeah any sort of interaction can trigger it

Raiding with them, battling gyms with them, battling pvp, whatever.

[rustic nova]

just getting really unlucky with my alt then lol

been interacting with it every day for like 2 months after getting best friends and havent gone lucky one

but ive interacted with other best friends once or twice and got lucky

[charred rapids]

That’s not unlucky to be honest, it’s about the rates, I’ve been lucky with my alt I think a total of 4 times? It was the first best friend I had too so yeah let that sink in, I’ve had better luck with locals than myself

[rustic nova]

Oof

I just have so many shinies on my alt that I wanna send to my main but I don’t wanna send em until I can have a guaranteed lucky trade

[radiant vigil]

I had someone it took over a year of daily interaction just to trigger bfs only once haha

Whereas other accounts I've been lucky friends like 4-5 times, very rng

[charred rapids]

It’s the ones you want lucky that take too long, then out of no where you become lucky friends with someone overseas or in another state not even a couple of weeks of being best friends

[radiant vigil]

i don't even send stuff overseas to avoid that situation or they moved and you can't trade with them any more

[charred rapids]

Or stopped playing

[radiant vigil]

that too

i keep them in case they come back but...

[charred rapids]

what cp pokemon are recommended to try xerneas raids?

i would focus more on typings

[fallen quarry]

so you cant change your hairstyle, right?

[radiant vigil]

I've never actually tried but think it's just the colour you can change

[fallen quarry]

awh :(

[odd glade]

You can't change they hairstyle

Unfortunately

[radiant vigil]

Next minute they offer new hairstyles but 500 coins each

[charred rapids]

lmao

i still cant believe u have to pay pokecoins to move pokemon to shield

[radiant vigil]

Technically you don't, you just need to wait

I set a reminder to send 5 comm day shinies over each week

[odd glade]

Would pay 100000 coins for gender switch

[stuck schooner]

If I evolve a 600 cp dratini to dragonite, what cp would it come out with approximately

[fallen quarry]

cant you gender switch for free?

[charred rapids]

Uhhhhhhhh Sylveon?

[rotund copper]

Well good news, you can do that for free already.

Press that button up there

[odd glade]

Wait wut

I've never noticed that

[rotund copper]

The more you know

[charred rapids]

i accidentally purified my articuno

is that a bad thing

as articuno is shit anyway

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot Missed it RIP XD

[rain elk]

@charred rapids you can raise CP via spending stardust and the mons respective candy, if it says you cant because its too high of a level, it means that you need to raise your trainer level to be able to raise it higher

[charred rapids]

Thanks

[charred rapids]

i think they removed the thing where u had to be level 40 to get pokemon to level 40

[analog steeple]

Nah. It’s just 10 levels up now believe

10 above your current level. But my alt can’t max anything at the moment

[primal sluice]

got any interesting goomy yet? XD

[analog steeple]

Oh I just caught one for the dex and ignored the rest

[primal sluice]

lmaooooo i had to use incense last night for the 15 fairy catch and one spawn

was hoping it be nice pvp stats but sigh XD

[charred rapids]

ahh ok

[steel parcel]

someone posted a rank 2 UL goomy at a nearby park but i was in the shower

i’m glad goomy’s not deino/axew rare though

[woeful pulsar]

wait is it actually 10 above current level for pokemon level cap now? that's p cool

[analog steeple]

I think that’s sub40 only but I can’t verify cause not level 40

[rain elk]

I think its only with the big candies that you can only start getting at lvl 40 and beyond

[radiant vigil]

At level 40 you can get L50 mons

Before that same rules still apply I think

[rain elk]

cause im 36 and my torterra cant go higher, no button to raise it

[analog steeple]

I’m guessing you can only go 10 levels to 40 max since 41+ requires XL candies

[primal sluice]

MILLIIIIIIIII :V morning XD

[radiant vigil]

Morning friendddd

[primal sluice]

XD guess what :3

i beat cliff on 2 acc now to beat him on my last alt with no good pokemon lmaooooooo

[radiant vigil]

Ooooo

I thought you got someone else hehe

[primal sluice]

o im actually surprise i got someone else before having him first lmaoooo

[radiant vigil]

So you beat cliff and you had some variety?

Very noice

[primal sluice]

yesh waiting to beat one more leader and then off to my legendary XD

[radiant vigil]

You need arlo? You can have some of mine

[primal sluice]

i think one of my acc need him

i had arlo spawning 3 times in a row when i already have him T.T

[radiant vigil]

Oh that sounds more like me. At least I found a Sierra stop this morning

[primal sluice]

XD im running low on revive thou 😦

but i should get back some before the next leader fight XD

[radiant vigil]

Wish I could send you mine lol. I delete all my revives and hoard only max revives

[primal sluice]

the 3 days i slept away i a big leap hole i did XD

if i didnt miss the 3 days of daily gifts i probably would been ok but meh XD

[radiant vigil]

Eh sleep is important too. I'm keen for weekend sleep in lol

[primal sluice]

rn i stuck thinking if i should send out request looking for these people that is abt to be ultra friends

or just like dont bother looking for them XD

cuz 3 accs need to do opening gifts on the 15th and for me to look for these people that i add randomly issa big list of yikes atm

[radiant vigil]

That's why I only do bfs...cos I'm lazy

[crude nacelle]

@flint flint @tight pilot please open our Ultra Friend gifts at your leisure. 🙂

[radiant vigil]

Even with bfs if it's another time zone I start getting ceebs, especially with what I'm hearing about friend exp notifs no longer being delayed when you open pogo app :f

[primal sluice]

girllll we shall see who is faster me or the game XD cuz i opening the ultra gift on my alt and as soon as i open main i use a lucky egg before the xp register

[radiant vigil]

I believe in your fast fingers

[raw pulsar]

i got POGO a few days ago so im still learning but i rly want to get the xerneas but im so under leveled

[radiant vigil]

Someone might be able to help out at #pogo_raids

[primal sluice]

i meannn if u have the pass and enough pokemon to survive to the end u can do it u just need some high level people to carry u

[raw pulsar]

how many is enough pokemon?

[radiant vigil]

People can only invite up to 5 ahyway

Which is enough (6 total ppls)

[raw pulsar]

fair

how would i join someones raid without being near it

[radiant vigil]

Remote raid pass

They add you as a friend and invite you to the raid

[raw pulsar]

i have one

ooooh oke ty

[primal sluice]

enough pokemon in starters around 30 i think dpeneds on how long a pokemon can survive especially since u just started so i assume u have like low cp pokemon

[raw pulsar]

500ish cp

i have about 200 pokes tho

[radiant vigil]

Tbh if you're really low better to stay in the lobby and not chuck mons out to die

[raw pulsar]

very fair

[primal sluice]

but dosent he have to be like be in the fight before it dies to get the pokemon?

[crude nacelle]

And to catch the Xerneas, you'll have to throw Great or Excellent Curve Balls

[crude nacelle]

Just in the lobby

[raw pulsar]

ez

i love throing curve balls its so fun

[primal sluice]

rlly? i didnt know that XD

[primal sluice]

good luck whenever ur doing it :3

[radiant vigil]

Oh yes, plenty of times I see 20 in the lobby but 15 in the raid

[raw pulsar]

ty 😄

[primal sluice]

i didnt know that XD

[radiant vigil]

One time there were 20 in the lobby and 8 people doing the raid...I got max damage balls then too

[raw pulsar]

so if i get into a raid where its beaten i have to catch it?

[primal sluice]

lmaooo well aint that lucky :V more chance to catch it XD

[raw pulsar]

is there a certain time to do it in?

[radiant vigil]

Yeah catching will be the hard part

[crude nacelle]

yes, you'll have a finite amount of premier balls to catch the Raid Mon.

[raw pulsar]

ahhh i see

[radiant vigil]

I find it easiest to throw right after it attacks

[primal sluice]

after joining raid and after the fight u get some rewards and it will show how much pokeball u have in order to catch it

[raw pulsar]

aight

[primal sluice]

i hate jigglypuff for this XD last night it jump comes down attack and jump up immediately T.T

@tight pilot we caught u lurking XD

[radiant vigil]

I love jigglypuff...easy excellent throw farm

[tight pilot]

[primal sluice]

girl mine troll me T.T

[radiant vigil]

[primal sluice]

katie said anytime u have a raid let her know XD

[crude nacelle]

@raw pulsar there's a Xerneas raid currently in #pogo_raids

[tight pilot]

My wife had her friend here and let the kids play on the alt pogo phone... im finding more and more confusing things as i go but im ... quite sad wasted all remote passes to start and used like all the golden razz / silver pinap... i wonder what else i’ll find

And for sure D3vil i’ll try to scoop her one in a bit here !

[radiant vigil]

Deleted your legendaries or something?

[primal sluice]

o btw mellow and @radiant vigil i wouldnt be opening ur gifts cuz im trying to get these gifts open up gifts for ultra gifts hoard for the 15th

[radiant vigil]

That's cool

[tight pilot]

I .. what

[raw pulsar]

im asking if anyone would like too because i dont want to join a raid without them knowing how low leveled i am

[tight pilot]

Yeah no legendarys gone, they knew what a mewtwo was but just wasted a bunch of stuff, dont think im missing any shinys either so not too bad, worst thing is the remote passes bc i never bring the alt out any more for gyms (aka coins lul)

And thats fine D3V1L, i been using your gifts for eggs bc i like eggs from different places

[radiant vigil]

Rip extra help

[primal sluice]

XD good good ill be opening ur alt thou cuz might need that great friend gift lmaooo

[tight pilot]

Lol yeah just makes hosting a smidge more difficult but can still get 10-15 invites off so long as one person joins fast enough to hold down the lobby

[radiant vigil]

Invite king

[primal sluice]

[tight pilot]

Just your friendly neighbourhood pogo host

[primal sluice]

tbh if it wasnt for mellow i probably wouldnt even have half my legendaries lmaooo

[tight pilot]

Also i’ll have one for katie in about 40 mins D3v1l, i’ll ping her closer to then

[primal sluice]

good imma let her know and see if she still need it now or tmr :V

[primal sluice]

yea she is rdy whenever the raid is up

[tight pilot]

Okay it hatches in 20 mins

[little isle]

Nice

[primal sluice]

hehehee

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot u got the goods

[tight pilot]

You want in an xxx reindeer?

[pulsar thunder]

You guys have any luck with goomy spawns? I’ve prob only seen one so far

[primal sluice]

only 1 with a incense last night

[fallen quarry]

like 3 goomys

[pulsar thunder]

Nice might try that on my next walk

[primal sluice]

i mean im on rural area sooo if u by pokestop or so on u should have more chances than me XD

[abstract raven]

@tight pilot thanks for the invite

[crisp relic]

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

[tight pilot]

Of course! I’ll keep an eye out for any last minute 🌴 tonight too

[fallen quarry]

4 goomys now >:)

[pulsar thunder]

Teach me your ways

[steel parcel]

is goomy more common in water biomes? they’ve been uncommon but not rare at all here

seen a few sligoo and goodra in gyms even

[radiant vigil]

Lol I live next to water, only 2 goomy

[steel parcel]

saw this on reddit

been using my baby acct from 2016 to scan for goomy and it works surprisingly well

our local discord has been reporting 4-5 goomy every hour or so

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I should do that, but I'm lazy 🤣 also cos they like to spawn in dank places at night

[steel parcel]

i definitely did a few late night drives to catch some goomy the first night lol

now i only bother if i can walk there in under 15 min

[radiant vigil]

Still more bothered than me

[steel parcel]

girl

when kalos was first released i saw a froakie about a half mile away and ran all the way there IN THE RAIN to catch it

i’m nowhere near that dedicated now

[primal sluice]

sound like when lapras spawn and my cousins went after it XD

[steel parcel]

aww that’s cute

[radiant vigil]

Ok I did run for dragonites at the start haha

Uphill too

[steel parcel]

we’re all jaded now

[radiant vigil]

Lol yeah

[steel parcel]

this is definitely my favorite event so far

[radiant vigil]

Except shit catch rate for swirlix /spritzee lol

[primal sluice]

back when pogo is lit XD

[steel parcel]

i just fast catch and run

[radiant vigil]

Until I get enough candy can't do that xD

Still chasing good iv now

Friend got 98 lucky spritzee off me last night Lmao

[steel parcel]

the very first swirlix i traded with my bf went lucky!

[radiant vigil]

I then revenge scammed 96 xerneas and it wasn't even lucky

[radiant vigil]

Funnily my spritzee trade was also the very first one haha

[steel parcel]

i’m happy bc i think i can get the dragon platinum with this event!! i thought it would take a year or more

[radiant vigil]

Ahaha you're doing way better than me

I still need over 800 lol, you must go haaaard

[steel parcel]

i need about the same actually

[primal sluice]

poor me with my 50 dragon catch :V

[radiant vigil]

I might go harder when there's 3x catch exp cos dragons are easy excellents

[steel parcel]

but i can easily catch at least 100 dratini/dragonair/bagon walking around for an hour or 2

[radiant vigil]

Dratini exp go brrrr

[steel parcel]

and trading with bf adds another 100 towards the medal

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I need a dragon trading buddy too lazy to play on alt

[steel parcel]

so if i only catch 100 a day and mirror trade them all, that’s 1600 by the end of the event

more than enough tbh

[radiant vigil]

And I work at a lit place, but I'm working not playing

This is when I really miss my lost gotcha

[steel parcel]

oh yea working only one day a week helps lol

[radiant vigil]

Full time working

Can't quick catch dragons with coffee in one hand

[steel parcel]

oop yea guess not

[analog steeple]

Not with that attitude

Jk it’s actually super difficult and I can’t do it lol

[steel parcel]

all i did before pogo was run on the treadmill for 4-5 hours a day lol

[analog steeple]

Qt is a gym rat

[steel parcel]

i’m a reformed cardio bunny, i admit it

[radiant vigil]

you also run a lot

[steel parcel]

oooooh

[radiant vigil]

cho hit that 150km for mew waaaay before me

[steel parcel]

it takes one to know one

[radiant vigil]

or i think he hit over 100km in as in a week

i don't even hit 100km even on holidays lol, i feel like i did well at 80km a week ok

[analog steeple]

I hit the 100km in a week yeah

[steel parcel]

80km in a week is great!

[radiant vigil]

but 100km is next level

[analog steeple]

80km is awesome !!

That’s a hair under 50 miles yo!!

[radiant vigil]

not my usual, i think that was when i needed to do a shit tonne of field research so i had to walk around my unlit area for stops

more of a 60km ish average weekly cos work make me a lazy bum bum

[steel parcel]

60km isn’t lazy at all!

[radiant vigil]

used to walk around a lot more 😦 harder now cos it's dark super early and less wfh to sneak walks during the day lol

[steel parcel]

one of the people on my friends list did 150km in a day, now that’s proper insane

[analog steeple]

Yo there’s no way

[radiant vigil]

are they ok

[analog steeple]

That’s like 3 marathons

[steel parcel]

i didn’t ask haha

they’re a rando from reddit

[radiant vigil]

yeah that's a littttle suss

[primal sluice]

XD just put ur phone on a spinning wheel and spin it non stop :V

[steel parcel]

but they had shiny mew as their buddy like the day after it was first available

[radiant vigil]

20km a day already wreck me ok haha

[steel parcel]

i sent them a congrats pika sticker haha

the most i ever did in a day was maybe 40 km when i was trying to get enough candy to evolve my scyther for a quest

[radiant vigil]

i'd be more suss if they're not from an ahead time zone either haha

like au/nz have a good 14hour + time advantage for these sorts of things

[rotund bluff]

Sus

I finally got one

[radiant vigil]

good sus

[steel parcel]

pink!!! i love it

[radiant vigil]

don't have that one, it's a good one to have and shadow ❤️

[charred rapids]

Lol 150km probably from defit

[steel parcel]

deficit?

like a caloric deficit?

[radiant vigil]

i guess if i swung my arm around a lot i could do it

[charred rapids]

Defit.

[radiant vigil]

i realised playing on my vr headset gets me lots of km

(won't have arms the next day tho)

[steel parcel]

@radiant vigil i’m jealous. bf says no vr until i stop tripping on my own feet

[charred rapids]

People use it on android to crank up their km’s some people do it on the down low and do it to the point where it might seem possible like 150km, then you have people doing 1000km a week

So yeah cheating

[radiant vigil]

technically it's the bfs, but i use it more than him

ah yeah, i know people with phone swings for the km

[charred rapids]

When you said he got shiny mew immediately basically sold him out, since ya know 150km in like two days

[steel parcel]

oh lol i just thought he was an ultrarunner

[radiant vigil]

hahaha as cho said, multiple marathons in a day

[steel parcel]

this is what you mean by a phone swing?

i was imagining a rocking chair

[radiant vigil]

i don't have one so not sure, but probably haha

[steel parcel]

idk how you’d play while rocking though

[radiant vigil]

you run it overnight haha

[steel parcel]

ngl if there was a phone charger that looked like a rocking chair i’d buy it in a heartbeat

[radiant vigil]

come back to lots of kms and eggs hatched

[steel parcel]

sounds cute af

[charred rapids]

People that use the rocking swing are lazy

[steel parcel]

if there’s a way to cheat, someone’s going to find a way to do it i guess

[radiant vigil]

most people i know who have them hatch eggs for shinies / dust

or they have alts they also want to grind distance on haha

[charred rapids]

It’s why humans have legs, to walk

[radiant vigil]

walking is my favourite form of exercise

[crude nacelle]

i have a butt, to sit.

[charred rapids]

But it’s not Pokémon sit

[radiant vigil]

they were going to release pokemon sleep one day, what happened to that

[pulsar thunder]

If you have a smart watch you can use adventure sync as well so it tracks distance throughout the day

[analog steeple]

Yup! My watch tracks my steps

[radiant vigil]

my watch definitely tracks, that's why i get all the distance from the vr arm swinging

[pulsar thunder]

Hahaha nice I've been double wristing since I like wearing a normal watch too

[radiant vigil]

one on each wrist or two on same wrist? XD

[pulsar thunder]

Lol one on each, I wish the apple watch was smaller like a fitbit since people always ask why I wear two

[radiant vigil]

lol when i wore a gotcha people were like 'what's that' and i'm like...'it's a fitbit' 👀

except i had the actual fitbit at the time then on the other wrist...lol

[twilit sapphire]

@charred rapids Please keep questions and chat here

and for your question, you use stardust and candy to level up mons

leveling up means making it higher CP, but its capped depending on your trainer level

[pulsar thunder]

its for maximum fitness accuracy

[radiant vigil]

fitbit was too dumb for pogo at the end though, apple watch much better

[analog steeple]

Except when adventure sync shits the bed

Source : me, who ran 7 miles to get a whopping .02kms added to my miles last week

[pulsar thunder]

Wow that's rough lol

[radiant vigil]

Rip as

[lucid frigate]

Pokemon go sit

[radiant vigil]

Pokemon go drive

[primal sluice]

that moment when u hoarding gifts and u have to double check if ur 1day away for level up friendship or 2 day before u open the gift so u dont mistakenly open the gift randomly T.T

[radiant vigil]

Lol at close to best friends im checking like one week out 🤣

[tight pilot]

Still 16 days for us

[radiant vigil]

That's not far at all

[raw pulsar]

I broke the game

[tight pilot]

Erm... isnt this not until the 9th? (Currently the 7th here lmao)

[analog steeple]

We might’ve cleared the global challenge early?

[viscid isle]

Yeah I’m scared to do it cause what if it’s a mess up and the shiny rates aren’t boosted yet?

[tight pilot]

Cant claim them tho, get an error and once ball hits the marill instantly runs away

[analog steeple]

Omfg

[tight pilot]

niantics monkey coders are up to it again

[viscid isle]

I caught mine...

[tight pilot]

Hmm weird! Just reloaded game bc still had an error and now have this (should be stops/gyms & roads all around me lol) goodnight pogo

[viscid isle]

Pogo is a flawless masterpiece with no issues at all

[radiant vigil]

I caught a few marill....oops

[radiant vigil]

Also are you up at 2am lol

[tight pilot]

.... noooo, thats 2pm shhhh

[radiant vigil]

I see

[charred rapids]

Yeah I caught like 10 marill on each account, I have no idea what’s happening, whether it was an accident or not

[muted kayak]

The marill reasearch is available in my game and irs only may 7 here.
