[radiant vigil]

the logic isn't working as expected argh

[charred rapids]

Well we don’t jump lol, just have a big pouch on our chest, fill it to the brim, last thing ya want is to jump with that and it swings into your privates

You’ll be down and out quicker than you realise

[radiant vigil]

shudder

[stuck schooner]

Didn't know this could happen

[charred rapids]

Yeah not pretty

Smeargle?

[radiant vigil]

photobomb

[charred rapids]

You must be new

[radiant vigil]

i hope you weren't playing when smeargle event was on...cos shiny chance...

[charred rapids]

Because we just had an event dedicated for that with the shiny

[stuck schooner]

Oh

It just happened now

[charred rapids]

It can happen every day

You can get one per day.

However it is now shiny locked.

[radiant vigil]

Got lazy with that plat now I got the dragon and 35 sorted lol

[charred rapids]

I have it plat now and also have my 35

[radiant vigil]

Now just need exp and 3 lucky trades, but saving for that juicy 40km trading range

[charred rapids]

I still have 20 luckies but honestly will have that done before I get the xp no problem

[radiant vigil]

I went ham rr dragons to make that 2.5k before the event ended

I got it about 10 minutes before it finished

[charred rapids]

Just to find out gible is a com day

Easy dragon types

[radiant vigil]

Ah I already knew, but at that point I just wanted to finish it rather than rely on gible haha

I got plat before gible comm day or something lol

[charred rapids]

Ya casual

[radiant vigil]

Super filthy casual

Haven't done yveltal raid since saturday

[charred rapids]

Super filthy casual is the woman that not only has the shundo spiritomb, gengar, Groudon, latias and moltres but has just gotten the shundo galar ponyta

[radiant vigil]

😶

[charred rapids]

And probably leaves her house to play pogo for 10 minutes max

Some people man, she’s super filthy.

[radiant vigil]

my bf as the filthy casual got a shundo latias

that's what can go wrong with the extra account for a shiny strategy

they betray you

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

he's like yay i got you your shiny and i'm like no....that's a freaking SHUNDO

[charred rapids]

I have 3 shundo....yeah that’s more than most but 6 and not even level 43 come on maaaaan

Strangle him

[radiant vigil]

he got a hundo mewtwo later

i was happy he got me a 98, then i saw his

[charred rapids]

Of course he did that’s how it usually goes

[radiant vigil]

i only got my first raid hundo legendary in september last year

[charred rapids]

That’s how it goes for lucky trades too, I haven’t gotten anything good from my last what? 15-16 lucky trades

But the people I trade? Oh a hundo xerneas, a hundo noibat? No problem

[radiant vigil]

my friends as i put it, have scam software on their phones for trades

[charred rapids]

They wut?

[radiant vigil]

any lucky trades are supervised by the scam police

the joke is that they scam hundos in trades haha

[charred rapids]

Ahhhhh haha

[radiant vigil]

so it's like 'your scam software up to date, cos mine is'

they get hundo next trade or something

we love supervising lucky trades. always keen to know who came out winning the iv lottery

[charred rapids]

Well it’s never meeeeeeee

So if we become lucky, ya know who you should trade

[radiant vigil]

We're the forever victims it seems 😢

I'm the person with a lucky 12/12/12 psystrike shiny mewtwo

Can it get worse than that??

[charred rapids]

It used to :’)

[radiant vigil]

true ;') i think i kept some of the old luckies for that lol

[charred rapids]

An 11/12/12

Back when 10/10/10 were floor IV’s

[radiant vigil]

fuarkkk

legacy lucky

[charred rapids]

Another rare lucky is shadow luckies

[radiant vigil]

I was in the gold coast at the time and completely missed that trading window 😦

[charred rapids]

Yeah was so short.

[radiant vigil]

I was still there when it ended haha XD

[charred rapids]

I remember trading shadows but I wasn’t lucky

[radiant vigil]

I was enjoying Queensland I guess

[charred rapids]

Yeah honestly if you’re on a trip somewhere else, better to enjoy the trip than a game

I barely played when I was in Sydney for Download festival.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I missed most of mudkip comm day cos of it xD

Only played on the tram and train up to brissie

[charred rapids]

Oooof train to brissy

That’s a bit of time

[radiant vigil]

Yeah it took nearly two hours from Gold Coast to Brisbane lol

[charred rapids]

Oh I thought from Sydney to Brisbane

I’m like wut

[radiant vigil]

Oh no I'd take a plane haha

Honestly the train would cost more than the flight haha

[charred rapids]

Yeah it would, screw that

[radiant vigil]

I made the mistake of taking the train to Canberra before, I've learnt

[charred rapids]

torture

[radiant vigil]

Yeah nice scenery but slow haha

[broken creek]

Hey, maybe a stupid question but anyways: is it true that if I have a mega evolved dragon type Pokémon that I’ll receive 1 additional candy for each dragon that I catch ? And in consequence: having a mega Altaria will gain me +1 gible candy/catch on cday ?

[radiant vigil]

Yes

[charred rapids]

Cliff bruh, personal space

[radiant vigil]

Cliff just wanna flex his muscles

[charred rapids]

Help step cliff, I’m stuck in the washing machine

[radiant vigil]

💪 💪

What washing machine

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[odd glade]

[lucid frigate]

Graveler in the kanto cup is absolutely amazing, especially when people let the stone edges through

[charred rapids]

i dont think so

[analog steeple]

Ooooo gotta try it

Was gonna do Mew/Hypno/A-wok

[fluid eagle]

@analog steeple im running wigglytuff-gengar-dragonite

[ivory halo]

Oshi: I have a gift for you!

[radiant vigil]

Yes, people were doing this for galar ponyta, as long as it's live in the time zone of the actual raid it's fine

[radiant vigil]

Your oshi is so cute

[ivory halo]

I know, Thanks!

[crisp relic]

Тим Апеч ( APEX ) has given 1 'General Rep' to milliaswan.

[primal sluice]

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

just save it for something nice i guess XD

[primal sluice]

i shall see

o btw there is something i want to know abt incense if someone activate it does it only work for him alone or it also work for those who are close to him?

[radiant vigil]

only you

[primal sluice]

o ok

[pulsar thunder]

how many wins do you need to get a legendary from GBL?

[radiant vigil]

think you need to hit rank 20 before you can get them in your reward pool

[pulsar thunder]

Oh lmao so you gotta grind each season, I'm nowhere close lol

[radiant vigil]

easier to raid it

[primal sluice]

atm im too lazy to do my set today T.T

[steel parcel]

anyone in nz/au seeing the sylveon items in the shop?

[charred rapids]

Item?

[twilit sapphire]

the clothing

[charred rapids]

Nope

[twilit sapphire]

i want it so bad

[charred rapids]

I don’t see it

[twilit sapphire]

[steel parcel]

wow. literally unplayable

[charred rapids]

It might just take a bit of time.

[radiant vigil]

i don't see anything lol...didn't realise there's so much in the shop

[charred rapids]

I already got my sylveon

Shiny, flower crown that thing is adorable

[radiant vigil]

Ah used the code?

[charred rapids]

Yep

[lucid frigate]

Is sylveon released worldwide, or only in places where the part 2 event started?

[radiant vigil]

i guess you could try and confirm XD

[twilit sapphire]

May 25, 10am local time

[charred rapids]

Type it’s name; if the silhouette ain’t there don’t try it

So I’d wait if I was youuuuu

[radiant vigil]

Might just code this, 70 hearts too ceebs

[twilit sapphire]

so usa will need to wait till tomorrow past 10am

[lucid frigate]

Guess that means another 16 hours for me

[radiant vigil]

waiting for the zig raids now

[charred rapids]

Ziiiiig

[radiant vigil]

i tried my saved research, no luck lol

gah L1 raid hatched into espurr....

[west marsh]

How long will it take to use puffins and get 70 hearts?

[radiant vigil]

apparently a few days?

[west marsh]

If you max out the hearts everyday. I forgot how many hearts there are cause I don’t use puffins at all but I have 20 on me

[charred rapids]

Uhhh I think it’s 20 hearts basically when a poffin is used

Or maybe less

13 if you don’t count the new stop visited, 15 if you do.

[west marsh]

Oh nice. Thank you. So probably 4-5days:

[radiant vigil]

Win a raid quest is apparently zig reward now...lol

[charred rapids]

I think it’s time for me to slip out, I prefer that over the leaders tbh

[radiant vigil]

faster for sure XD and we'd be doing zig raids anyway soooo

[charred rapids]

Exactly! Stack 3 do em, just depends how rare the quest is

[radiant vigil]

i assume similar to pony...

[charred rapids]

Time to find out, need to catch all these eevee for more XL

[radiant vigil]

ah was wondering why eevee was everywhere

[charred rapids]

Sylveon debut

[steel parcel]

lol this is definitely my coolest friend on pogo 🐊

[charred rapids]

They’ll come back missing a hand

[radiant vigil]

they're hunting gators?

[steel parcel]

yep haha

idk if for fun or like professionally but either way v rad

[charred rapids]

They’ll come back missing both, sorry can’t pop no egg now how silly of me

[radiant vigil]

they can pop with their toe

[charred rapids]

Their nose still registers

[steel parcel]

oh no lol i’ll remind them to be careful

[charred rapids]

The fate of your lucky egg depends on it

[steel parcel]

i’ve used the tip of my nose to catch before

no curveballs but i can do a straight throw. he’ll be fine i’m sure

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

At most I’m fine caring for my spiders but I don’t wrestle

[steel parcel]

you keep spiders! cute

we had a pet tarantula in school, very sweet girl

[radiant vigil]

you have pet spiders?

[charred rapids]

Yeeeee

Tarantulas, funnel webs, I own a couple scorpions, was kinda sad when they decided to put those under the wildlife license.

[radiant vigil]

I think I'm too city to be able to handle those lol

[primal sluice]

oof GBL change again T.T

[charred rapids]

I don’t dare mess with no funnel webs a bite from that sucker would blow

[radiant vigil]

One bite and bye bye

[charred rapids]

Yeah Sydney funnel webs and Sutherland funnel webs are little angry bois/grills

[radiant vigil]

yes...i would know

[charred rapids]

I’m quick to feed them, nervous to change their enclosures every 6 months

[trim socket]

Hi

Can someone help me with jirachi quest here my friend code Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 9411 4357 0631!

[chilly stratus]

thank you! i just saw the answer so thanks! i will start looking then 🙂

[crisp relic]

Simba2489 has given 1 'General Rep' to milliaswan.

[radiant vigil]

I have a zig raid still around if you wanted in on that

[chilly stratus]

please ill dm my code

[abstract raven]

This weeks raids, Im looking for is Eevee, Vaporeon and Ziggy

[radiant vigil]

I guessed you'd be looking for ziggy but I'll keep an eye for the other two also

[charred rapids]

There you go guys enjoy

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Turns out I didn’t bring one of my charge cords my other phone is dead that’s me finished

[radiant vigil]

noooo, how did the zigs go?

I haven't found one of the quests yet 😦

[charred rapids]

I found 5 quest so far, I’ve done your ones and found 1 the entirety of being out today

So my zig hunt went, well, below average.

[radiant vigil]

yeah no shiny reports from the people i yeeted into those 3 raids i found

[charred rapids]

Pink eggs started popping just as I had to leave, like 6-7 in town so mad

[radiant vigil]

yeah there was like nothing all day, then bam 3 back to back here

[charred rapids]

I’ll try tomorrow then, and maybe bug the Americans to throw me in them

[radiant vigil]

raid all day and night

[charred rapids]

Well no work for a couple days to a week, may as well take advantage

[twilit sapphire]

the clothing is available now for me pog

[radiant vigil]

[twilit sapphire]

Now I need a hundo Noibat

[charred rapids]

Welp shiny marill at home, no need to go out for the spotlight hour

[surreal parrot]

Is anyone going to be earning 70 hearts for the sylveons or just using the name trick

[charred rapids]

I used the name trick on my shiny flower crown, yeah a hundo would be nice but I feel the shiny flower crown is just better

I’ll be maxing it to 40, then I’ll work on a hundo or 98 depending which comes first.

[surreal parrot]

I have a shiny normal eevee and a hundo normal eevee but no decent fancy versions

Think I'll go for the shiny one

[charred rapids]

The blue is nice

[surreal parrot]

And it's not exactly got much use anyway

[radiant vigil]

blue cos why not

[rustic nova]

thinking ill prob wait to evolve to sylveon until i have a decent lucky shiny eevee

[radiant vigil]

yeah i evolved my lucky shiny XD

[rustic nova]

This was my guaranteed shiny from that quest line and it’s so bad

I do have 2 shiny eevees on my alt though so I hope to lucky trade to my main some day

[radiant vigil]

I like how the ribbons go wild when you tap on it

[charred rapids]

There’s two or so tasks that reward eevee when your event starts, pretty common and easy ones too.

[radiant vigil]

one is the fairy snapshot, not sure on the other

[charred rapids]

I ended up with a shiny eevee today from one

[rustic nova]

cant get out to spin stops anymore unfortunately

[radiant vigil]

i've heard a few reports of shiny eevee, it might be boosted

[charred rapids]

Fairy snapshot, earn 3 hearts with ya bud

[rustic nova]

hoping ill maybe get a random shiny eevee or 2 from this event

these X and Y events have been awful for me so far

[radiant vigil]

events have been great for repeat shinies lol

not the shinies i actually want

[rustic nova]

ive been so unlucky with event shinies recently

its very sad

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

got a shiny puff from the last one, 0 star, and a houndour and pooch from this one

all repeat shinies, all 0 star

im fine w repeat shinies if they at least have decent stats but NEVER

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I got two shiny ralts in 10 minutes and they were both shit. I was so mad

[rustic nova]

Speaking of Ralts, here’s another research shiny I got that’s just awful

Better than what I would’ve got if it was a wild one though, so that’s good

And here’s another devastatingly bad research shiny that was a lot more depressing to me

[rustic nova]

Just took a look at the rest of the timed research

I’m not gonna be able to finish the last page LOL. page 6 has complete 7 field research tasks and I can only do that with the daily bonus ones and there is 6 days left in the event

Annoying but oh well it’s on me in the end, I wanted to save the zigzagoon encounter from page 5 for when the shiny was out

[radiant vigil]

There's purify 10 shadows on page 7...

[rustic nova]

My main problem on page 7 is catch 12 shadows

Impossible for me to do given I’ll get to that page on the last day of the event and the research

And since I can only get grunts from the balloons I cannot catch that many in one day

[radiant vigil]

Rip

I'm slowly going through that page...I need more 1k mons to purify

[rustic nova]

I’m losing the main encounters I wanted, the Larvitar and the Deino. Sad

[charred rapids]

is the name trick literally just naming it "Kira" and nothing more to it?

why doesn't the image show a sylveon?

[rustic nova]

restart app, or maybe make it not ur buddy

[radiant vigil]

Has the event already started for you?

Won't work until it's Tues 10am local

And make sure it's not your buddy

Why does espeon have night image for evolve

[rustic nova]

Thinking about this, if i wait to open my game till 10 ill get the balloon from 9, and if i somehow get 2 grunts from every balloon the rest of the day, i might be able to do it

[radiant vigil]

No sleep, be awake all day

[rustic nova]

actually the time thing doesnt matter itll be the last day, i just need to be awake all day and get the double grunt thing every balloon

[radiant vigil]

still not much sleep I take it

Seeing as you're still awake xD

[rustic nova]

mhmm

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

thats what i always want to be doing

[radiant vigil]

I like sleep a lot

[rustic nova]

i do too, when i get it

also just realized part 2 of this event doesnt have the balloon every 3 hours so i cant do that LOL

[radiant vigil]

Ah it's back to normal times? XD

[rustic nova]

i believe so

[radiant vigil]

Honestly didn't notice, I just clicked when ever it appeared haha

[rustic nova]

off of serebii it says the only event effect is 3x catch xp, but maybe the balloon thing will be carrying over from part 1

[charred rapids]

I’m still seeing a lot of rocket activity, haven’t paid attention to the balloons but the stops are still pretty boosted

[radiant vigil]

3x exp is the besssst part

Yeah I think it might still be boosted but I'm not keeping a close eye

[rustic nova]

hoping the balloons are still boosted, i cant get out to stops to battle the grunts so

[radiant vigil]

Rocket home delivery

Omg zig raids @charred rapids

That's a delivery for you coming shortly....

[charred rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/ready-im-ready-running-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4184916

[radiant vigil]

One more after you finish this one

[charred rapids]

Yep done

[radiant vigil]

Ok

[charred rapids]

yeah i... 😂😂😂

[radiant vigil]

I just noticed I bet umbreon has the sun haha

[charred rapids]

Thanks for the raids Milli

[radiant vigil]

Going to walk and see if I can find more

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

Guess what

[charred rapids]

zig raid!!!

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dancing-led-light-rainbow-gif-17974316

[radiant vigil]

Zig raid for everyone!

Ooo found one more

[charred rapids]

@rustic nova I just got a balloon at 8 so

[rustic nova]

hmm maybe

i hope so

[radiant vigil]

Ah I got one too

[charred rapids]

Yeah I think it will continue, you’re safe

[rustic nova]

okay then theres a chance i can complete the timed research, i hope i can

[charred rapids]

I think it will stick around for the rest of the event, 5 days.

Well 6 days technically

[radiant vigil]

Think that's probs all the zig for today

[charred rapids]

Dang it, where be me shiny

[radiant vigil]

no one got so far

[charred rapids]

Niantic forgot to turn it on

Imagine.

[rustic nova]

some ppl on twitter have got it

[radiant vigil]

Lol shiny eevee tho

[charred rapids]

[charred rapids]

‘Twas a joke....

[rustic nova]

was just saying it bcuz niantic forgetting to turn it on is entirely possible lol

[radiant vigil]

Yeah galar ponyta was off last week 🤣

[rustic nova]

^

[charred rapids]

I’m aware, Taillow was shiny locked for awhile.

After being released.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah now TSR always needs a thread to validate shinies are still on after an event ends lol

It's happened that many times

[final current]

I've started playing Pokémon go again after like 2 years and I am so confused lmao

[radiant vigil]

They've added a lot since then xD

[final current]

Yup 😂 wish me luck in figuring it all out haha

[radiant vigil]

🤣 I guess if you split it up it's not as bad...pvp is it's own thing, raids are their own thing etc

[timber dew]

Name trick always works one time right on Eevee, even if it’s shiny right?

[charred rapids]

Yes

One time only so be sure it’s the one you want

[timber dew]

[fluid eagle]

why do people want syvleon so much?

[dusty oracle]

Because the Eeveelutions are popular, and Sylveon has been teased to be coming for the entirety of this season.

Plus, whilst not great, it's an adequate fairy type in PVE. (Not that anyone would ever use Fairy over either Dragon, Psychic or Fighting vs. Dragon, Fighting or Dark respectively.)

[radiant vigil]

Sylveon is hampered by the fact it only really knows fairy moves so it can't cover itself to save itself xD

[fluid eagle]

@radiant vigil in other words wigglytuff is better

[radiant vigil]

Oh definitely

[ivory halo]

You have seen Victini,

You will win every battle with team Rocket along with any 3 star raids today.

[radiant vigil]

I thought victini was sunbathing or something until I noticed it's hands were actually clapped together

[ivory halo]

Hehe, yes.

[radiant vigil]

Very cute though, looks like you have a lot of fun with taking the pictures!

[radiant vigil]

I feel like more accurate is putting the tape no where near the actual crack

[fluid eagle]

plus that flex tape is fucking hardcore

you can use it to patch a 1 man boat and actually go across water with it

[radiant vigil]

So the meme is actually being too generous to niantic haha

[fluid eagle]

^ exacto bro @radiant vigil

[radiant vigil]

Or they slap it on so hard the glass cracks elsewhere and something entirely unrelated breaks

[fluid eagle]

ive actually seen niantic do something like that

like when they were fixing something last month then fucked up the rocvket encounters hahaha @radiant vigil

[charred rapids]

We will fix your bug, at the cost of another 20, it’s a good deal

[placid patio]

If anyone has any zigzagoon raids please ping me

[charred rapids]

And if you’re not interested, tough tiddy we doing it anyway

Mmmmm nah

[radiant vigil]

We'll fix a bug for something you don't care about, and in the process break something you do care about

[charred rapids]

am considering changing to team mystic

Ew

Mystake

[west marsh]

Mystic is a great team. I approve 👀

[steel parcel]

does eevee as buddy override all poses?

[charred rapids]

Mystic is a stinky team

Full of pee pee poo poo’s

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel your hunting kircketune?

[steel parcel]

i’m not!

[fluid eagle]

aye whats wrong with bug pokemon

i want a shiny buzzwole

[steel parcel]

nothing! i love ribombee

i did a whole playthrough of swsh as a bug type trainer. i love bugs

[fluid eagle]

ooo nice what pokes did u have?

[steel parcel]

shedinja, volcarona, scolipede, araquanid, shiny heracross & shiny ribombee 💕

[west marsh]

Unfortunately yes. She’ll override your stance in your character page but not in battles (:

[steel parcel]

did i need volcarona and scoli on the same team? no. but very cool pokes

[steel parcel]

thanks for the answer!

[crisp relic]

qt has given 1 'General Rep' to SamiSamsterz.

[west marsh]

You’re welcome! I’ve been walking togepi for ages and she always messes up my stances lol.

I had eevee as my buddy for 3 months total between getting two to best buddies and I thought my game was broken until I figured it out

[steel parcel]

aww and your pfp is togepi, so cute! i guess i can’t show off my sylveon bow until i evolve bb eevee into sylveon haha

[charred rapids]

i love valor but every gym gets knocked out by this spoofer in the area instantly

[fluid eagle]

heracross is a amazing pokemon even says in its pokedex entrie 'he is the strongest pokemon' hahah, not a bad team. i used a charjabug through my playthrough personally id of had a dwebble and either buzzwole or pheramosa for bug/fighting since their good speed types for bad advantages

[quartz rover]

Can anyone help me with a 45,000 CP yveltal raid in 10 min

[west marsh]

I’m rocking my Sylveon gear and I’m so happy about it. Just need... the 70 hearts lol. Thank goodness for puffins.

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel do you like snom?

[steel parcel]

yes!! i was shiny hunting snom in swsh for ages until someone from here gifted me one

[fluid eagle]

frosmoth/volcarona are good combo

this is what ill hunt on sword next time i play

[west marsh]

Eiscue is super cute.

[charred rapids]

Even the sword and shield game still finds it way here

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids well id get it on PoGo if they had it

[steel parcel]

so cute!! no luck with that shiny yet but one day

[fluid eagle]

super versatile pokemon too

[charred rapids]

Well they will in like 3 years, can talk about it then

[west marsh]

Honestly I don’t want any more gens until they finish releasing the older gens basic mon. Like mythical and legendary I get it but...

give me kecleon thanks

[charred rapids]

The fact we’re getting gen 6 mons when gen 3 and 5 are incomplete, kecleon I sort of get? But druddigon? mienfoo and it’s evolution?

[west marsh]

Omg yes.

It doesn’t make sense to me 😂

[charred rapids]

We got Axew before Druddigon, bruh it’s not even that special just give it to us

[west marsh]

You’re not wrong. I just want to finish older gens. That’s all I want. Tired of staring at a gold hoenn badge

I get kecleon being a funky one but it’s been years

[charred rapids]

Zorua, larvesta

Zorua is gonna be some promotional drop or some garbage, special research.

[ivory halo]

And Emolga

The best pika clone

[charred rapids]

Emolga is out

[steel parcel]

never encountered a wild one but i’ve gotten way too many from gbl

[charred rapids]

Hatched a couple and caught a couple in the wild

[fallen quarry]

is the dark type pokemon increase no longer a thing?

[primal sluice]

guys i just discover that is u rename ur eevee to kira and evolve it, it will become sylveon

[charred rapids]

Uhhhh well it’s not news but that’s great

Wild vileplume AND shiftry at my house? Sure

[lucid frigate]

Plus ferroseed, and all weather boosted

All the rare spawns at night

[charred rapids]

Also got the shiny marill for spotlight hour here, and a shiny murkrow just a little while ago here too

My house is wild for spawns

[dusty oracle]

Luminous Y Part 1 heavily featured Dark-type spawns, and ran until yesterday evening. Luminous Y Part 2 features Poochyena, Alolan Rat and Carvanha at reduced promotion compared to Part 1, and Murkrow at heavily reduced promotion, and will run until Monday of next week.

[nocturne fiber]

Hi y'all I saw that Sylveon can now evolve from Eevee so are there eevee raids right now?

I live on the mountain and have absolutely no clue what happens on pogo for raids 💀

and does anyone know how to evolve it? candies, max friendship, etc

[ivory halo]

So here is what I know so far, you can evolve Eevee into Sylveon by naming your Eevee " Kira " and there don't seem to be any raids in my area. Lastly, In luminous Legends Y there is a grantees shiny Eevee. ( I could be wrong since I don't know much either )

[nocturne fiber]

Hm I see, thank you <3 @ivory halo

[crisp relic]

Katie-Chan has given 1 'General Rep' to Тим Апеч ( APEX ).

[odd glade]

It works only once tho

[ivory halo]

No problem!

[nocturne fiber]

I chose to do it on my shiny eevee

well worth it

[odd glade]

I picked my 98% eevee but now i regret it

[charred rapids]

is it guaranteed shiny eevee???

No lol

There’s only ever been one shiny eevee guaranteed and that was from the jump start research.

[ivory halo]

Oh

[charred rapids]

@nocturne fiber there are eevee raids now, they do spawn a little more in the wild, have a couple tasks that reward it even, without the name trick you’ll need to gain 70 hearts with an eevee to evolve it into a sylveon

[steel parcel]

accidentally evolved my rank 28 graveler into a rank 1473 golem

[charred rapids]

Still waiting for that wild Uxie to spawn at my house honestly

[nocturne fiber]

Ah I see, I might as well make a normal one then @charred rapids thank you as well

[crisp relic]

Katie-Chan has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[final tulip]

@abstract raven got a vaporeon for you

ping me back if you're interested

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel ow no!!!!!

[steel parcel]

super sad lol. looks like i need an anti-graveler now but my machamp is scared of fairy types

[fluid eagle]

i heard gravelers amazing i got one just not the candys and dust to get it close too 1500 + double move

[steel parcel]

yep i’m in pain

my entrails have become my extrails

just pain

[lucid frigate]

A lot of people stay in with alolan muk against my graveler, even though its a losing matchup for them, or they win but i have a 2-0 shield advantage

[steel parcel]

thinking of running triple shadow snorlax hypno machamp

whether i win or lose, it’ll be over quickly

[lucid frigate]

Run different shadows instead of snorlax and hypno, then itll run even quicker

[steel parcel]

team “i’m here for a good time not a long time”

me: purify 10 shadows for research?? shame on niantic
also me:

[quartz rover]

Yveltal raid in 7 mins who’s coming

[analog steeple]

I am not

[primal sluice]

did grunts ballon hour change again?

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel are hypnos good in kanto cup?

[steel parcel]

honestly idk but i’m having fun

non shadow is v bulky so shadow sacrifices some of the bulk for more punch

[ivory halo]

Ok

[steel parcel]

shadows deal enough damage that i can undercharge most moves and my total lack of strategy has thrown off more than one trainer

[fluid eagle]

i leveled up a ice sandshrew

[steel parcel]

ran into quite a few a-waks thinking i was baiting with thunder punch only to get slapped with shadow ball

[fluid eagle]

its doing really well in kanto cup

[steel parcel]

i’ve only ran into 2 a-slash as lead and s-champ shreds em. who do you have in the back?

[fluid eagle]

wigglytuff lead, then either alolan sandshrew/muk depending on situation

[deep rock]

PSA: To obtain Sylveon easily in PoGo, name an Eevee <<Kira>> and then, evolve with Eevee 🍬. Happy hunting!!

[primal sluice]

i think that is one time use trick thou

[steel parcel]

i’m saving that for lucky shundo fc gigantamax eevee

[fluid eagle]

yeah naming works once per type

ive only use my umbreon one

[primal sluice]

im waiting to have a good eevee before evolving :V

[analog steeple]

Honestly might just be the butthead that goes double charm for PvP

Can’t make anything work right now

[primal sluice]

i went against someone with triple charm pokemon T.T

[lucid frigate]

Im saddened that ive seen 2 double charm teams in the 3300s range during my sets yesterday, one was already bad enough

[steel parcel]

i’m sad that i had 5 level 45 players jump out of a zigzagoon raid with 10 seconds left

[radiant vigil]

They didn't feel the shiny luck in their bones

[abstract raven]

if anyone by the name 1025noaki is here can u @ me?

[primal sluice]

morning :3

[ivory halo]

This one?

[radiant vigil]

Ahh the punk rock zigzag

[ivory halo]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

[ivory halo]

I prefer the hoenn zigzagoon though more civilized

[primal sluice]

doing spotlight and it is WB hehehe more stardust

[radiant vigil]

I just tried for exp, but I hate excellents on marill lol

[radiant vigil]

At least I have hoenn zig shiny unlike galar

[primal sluice]

im just here to see my luck on getting hundo or good ranking marill

[ivory halo]

The galar shiny zig looks excellent

[radiant vigil]

It does indeed

[flint wind]

[radiant vigil]

[ivory halo]

Oshi returns

[radiant vigil]

Need some cute oshawott emoji

[ivory halo]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

Pikachu isn't quite right lol

[ivory halo]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

[ivory halo]

Do you want to see Oshi's stats in PoGo?

[primal sluice]

did balloon hour change or something?

[radiant vigil]

Still boosted I think

[primal sluice]

weird didnt see it for 6pm

probably miss it

[radiant vigil]

Should come at 8pm

[steel parcel]

ty marill hour for blessed dust

[primal sluice]

i still didnt get any good pvp one T.T

[steel parcel]

ehh i never use my rank 1 marill, everyone and their mama's got a counter

[primal sluice]

i guess the timing change to every 4 hour now then

[primal sluice]

i had to remove my counter and make my stun fisk learn discharge

[radiant vigil]

Just this event I think

[primal sluice]

yep hehehe

[lucid frigate]

Run a counter for the counter, and then run a counter for the counter to the counter of the counter

[primal sluice]

but with that method who swap first loses thou T.T

[rotund copper]

Thinking my Ray may be too big for my living room

Feeding it was a nightmare.

[radiant vigil]

Hope your place is in one piece

[charred rapids]

@abstract raven doesn’t need any more zig raids, she thought she could be subtle with the flex

[charred rapids]

hi\

[abstract raven]

@charred rapids I need more

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

So here’s my dumbass hatching eggs when I only just found they’ve taken galar zig OUT of the damn egg pool, what a troll

[radiant vigil]

the moment they released the shiny, they're reallllly pushing this raid to find approach

[charred rapids]

And then they’ll put it back in eggs to make more money on the people who didn’t get it from raids, bruh this company is smart and I hate it

Because it works

[radiant vigil]

You gotta cut your losses at some point

[charred rapids]

NO

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

to be fair 7km eggs r pretty cool rn

in my opinion at least

not that good if u have all the shinies already though so i get it

all i have from them rn is Eevee which is a shiny i wont rlly ever complain about getting

[charred rapids]

The babies? Yeh I have em all, over them, the fact spritzee and swirlix are in them is disgusting.

They should be in 2km eggs

[rustic nova]

i dont have any of the babies, the one i want most is azurill

[charred rapids]

Good luck hatching those, I’ve hatched more spritzee and swirlix with a dash of babies

Just a cockblock

[rustic nova]

ye ive been doing a lot of 7km eggs during the x and y events, only kinda cool thing ive got is a hundo igglybuff

all things considered, ive been fairly lucky with not getting swirlix and spritzee from them

other than 1 batch that had 4 spritzees

[charred rapids]

Eh yeah oh well I’ll wait for zig to go back to eggs

[rustic nova]

prob best bet lol

[radiant vigil]

Double zig

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

will invite to the second one once i get my friends in the first one haha

[charred rapids]

Thank youuuu

[radiant vigil]

lucky both L1s popped into hehe

[charred rapids]

Still no luck on the shine though but at least it exists

[radiant vigil]

i'll probs try this one stacked with 2 quests and see how it goes...

[charred rapids]

I found ONE quest among the 80 stops I checked today, what a joke.

[radiant vigil]

yeah found one, will walk to another nearby but i feel ponyta was easier to find

[charred rapids]

Definitely was, I found ponyta quests without trying (didn’t get the shiny but I had to do other things) but jeez I think so far I’ve found 4-5 quests since this started? I’ll see how many I can find tomorrow

[radiant vigil]

today was the first day i found them

[charred rapids]

I found 3 or so yesterday, bruh I found 3 spinda quests today compared to it how ridiculous.

[radiant vigil]

really want us to raid it eh???

[charred rapids]

Yeah for sure that’s their intention.

Took em out of eggs, made the quest as rare as 3 excellent throws in a row, but nah let’s throw them in majority of the pink egg raids

[radiant vigil]

look how many raids i managed to yeet you into

[charred rapids]

Yeah, they’ll probably squeeze me for every cent I have, but this is one of the best shiny mons they’ve released in the recent events, ima get it.

Then rest and save for giblets

[radiant vigil]

yeah i'm limiting myself to free/premiums in person and quests XD

i did remote one, but that's the free shop one haha

[charred rapids]

Nah I’m going all out I WANT THIS THING

[radiant vigil]

i rationalise this by saying i have it in shield haha

so i dont neeeeed it in pogo

[charred rapids]

But I want it in pogo for the flex it can be useless later

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

I have it in sword and shield also but maaaaan I want something new in go

[radiant vigil]

i get that feeling...i think the last new shiny i got was jigglypuff lmao

[charred rapids]

Trubbish during its shiny release

Smeargle on the other account

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Everything since has been dupes

[radiant vigil]

and they have to be comm day dupes too

[charred rapids]

Yeah gible is fun and amazing, I love it but it’s still dupes

[radiant vigil]

It's like exp, dragon and awesome in one day

[charred rapids]

Yeah it is, ima grind it so hard and excellent throws on gible are actually pretty decent so hey here’s to hopefully levelling up.

[radiant vigil]

Same here also btw is the moon red for you?

Everyone is checking out this red moon lol

Red moon doesn't make zig shiny though

[charred rapids]

No it doesn’t

[radiant vigil]

No one ive invited to zig has shiny so far

And I usually get like 5 into each raid too, so probs over 50+ attempts at it

[charred rapids]

Damn and the only evidence of one is Aqua the lucky bitch

[radiant vigil]

I have another pogo friend apart from her with it too XD But you notice I always invite you with the same people, because they too haven't gotten it

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’ve noticed that, all the same peeps the fact we all haven’t got in within al the raids you’ve invited us too is just shocking.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah none of them so far 😦 and they're hardcore like you, so they've been yeeting their moolah at this

[charred rapids]

Yeah I think I’m already at $60

Only just came out yesterday

[radiant vigil]

both accounts right? for ponyta one of them hit $80 on one account without getting it

only one person in total ended up getting pony

[charred rapids]

Yeah between both, $30 each for now, still have a few days I think.

[radiant vigil]

well i guess i can uh...help you spend more

[charred rapids]

5 days

Yeah I get paid tomorrow, that won’t last

[radiant vigil]

oh no

[charred rapids]

More zig raids pls

https://tenor.com/view/backing-you-get-yours-danny-devito-danny-devito-gif-13052176

[radiant vigil]

as you request

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids yeah ive had 1-2 quests in a day or 2 of stops

been weird

[charred rapids]

The quest is just unnecessarily rare so you’re forced to raid.

[ivory halo]

Which quest?

[charred rapids]

Win a raid but event specific, it rewards Galarian Zig and it’s not a very common task it seems, I searched my whole town to find just one.

[ivory halo]

Ahhh, k

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids im tryna get the quest win 2 raids, aint seen it once

i want it for a scraggy/scrafty

[charred rapids]

I think you just missed your chance that quest is no longer available

It all changed over when Sylveon and shiny galar zig debuted.

[fluid eagle]

thats anyyounging

i went out in torrential rain to get that quest last week and no luck

[charred rapids]

Yeah we’re in the final phase of the luminous legends event, got about 6 days left.

To find shiny zig and catch as many eevee and yveltal as ya can.

[radiant vigil]

exp grind time

[charred rapids]

Yep, only 6 days before that disappears, I really need to get to 20mil so that the last 5 might be doable on comm day.

49 while my other account lags behind, first time in a very long time they’d be different levels.

[radiant vigil]

oooh aiming for 49 i think i'll just aim for like 16mil or something haha

17 if i grind a bit more, really depends on work

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’ve done the requirements, time to slog it out so the final stretch can be a slow grind.

[radiant vigil]

i'll finish the lucky trades this weekend when it's remote XD just three more

[charred rapids]

One accounts needs like 3 more, both done

And level 49 to 50 well, those tasks are pretty easy.

[radiant vigil]

excellents will 100% depend on the event spawn, but if it's like jiggly with 3x catch exp it's ez

pvp going to shit me cos i hate doing it

[charred rapids]

Nah just stick with legendary raids.

I usually do 5 excellent throws per raid before it catches, on average anyway.

[radiant vigil]

...im actually lazy and just aim for greats most of the time

[charred rapids]

Yeah but another task is to catch 5 legendaries in a row so may as well

[radiant vigil]

i don't have many run, i lose like 1 in every 30 or something lol

and that's usually for stupid things that are hard to aim at

[charred rapids]

The other two are well, so simple and easy that I’m confused as to why they are 49 to 50 and not like 41 to 42

[radiant vigil]

rocket leaders or something? usually i can near solo arlo with my non powered giratina friend

[charred rapids]

Reach rank 10 in PvP and beat rocket leaders with mons below 2500cp

[radiant vigil]

i've never gone past rank 8 in pvp

[charred rapids]

Well there’s 24 ranks, 10 is beyond ez

Noobs are usually still floating around those ranks.

[radiant vigil]

it feels long to me as a non pvper lol

[charred rapids]

Well usually you can get to 5 in the first day.

[radiant vigil]

also cos i only want to do great league, so if i miss that i'm screwed

yeah 5 is easy, 6-10 pretty much same tier from what i've seen. i probs just have to grind it out, but i find pvp boring

[charred rapids]

Yeah same tier if you don’t rush, or you end up against the veterans if you’re too quick, don’t wanna be going against Naturn

Boi will make ya lose

[radiant vigil]

nah wait for the veterans to race ahead, then i go for it

[charred rapids]

That’s it!

[radiant vigil]

but not going to blow dust on these guys, so i'm stuck with great league, and honestly i don't know how long the season lasts XD

is it like 2 weeks of GL, the UL, then ML and reset, or did they change that?

[charred rapids]

Usually a good while.

[radiant vigil]

i think season 1 was short from memory...only one i tried

[charred rapids]

This seasons been going on for like near 3 months

[radiant vigil]

oh that's good...i guess once i sense i'm near 49 i'll uh check pvp for great league or something

[charred rapids]

Since there’s more ranks, they can fit more leagues and specific cups like kanto cup and stuff where you can only specifically pick mons so yeah seasons now last a good while

[radiant vigil]

i remember trolling the love cup and it was actually really easy was just doing that 45 gbl battles thing for the challenge

[charred rapids]

We’ve had great league this season like 3-4 times

So I think ya safe.

[radiant vigil]

great league...my friend. go azumarill brrrr

[charred rapids]

Galvantula

[radiant vigil]

yeah uh that wasn't a thing in S1. was shit like basto, deoxys d, registeel

[charred rapids]

Yeah I know

[radiant vigil]

usually if i see the last two i usually just forfeited on the spot, i knew how they'd go

[charred rapids]

The meta is immensely different compared to season 1, registeel is a thing of the past

[radiant vigil]

that's nice to hear

[charred rapids]

I guess

[radiant vigil]

i hear stunfisk is the rage now

[charred rapids]

XL mons, yeah galar stunfisk.

[radiant vigil]

i will go dust cheap here no xl mons

[charred rapids]

XL medicham is massive

[radiant vigil]

ah medi still around, but with xl candy now oh boy

[charred rapids]

Yeah thicker, stronger, XL medi is a menace if you don’t have counters.

[radiant vigil]

oh wow, i do still have a rank, you're right it's long

[charred rapids]

Ooooooo yeah I’m sure season 8 will follow when this ends in a few days.

Probably last 3 or so months.

[radiant vigil]

hmmm i should have enough xp by then for 49

[charred rapids]

So I’ll be racing to 10 just so it’s done

Yeah you should, that’s like 10 mill, with multiple XP events

If we end up with a shiny legendary after yveltal I’m sure that will fly

[radiant vigil]

yeah i need just over 9mil rn, can probs get a least another mil this event, and i expect gible to be verrry profitable

don't normally stack ultras, but i'm stacking everything for gible haha

[charred rapids]

Yeah comm day xp usually grants me 2-3 but those are for mons I don’t care about, gimme gible and I might be able to fly

[radiant vigil]

i just need to remember gible is very close, so to take it easy on the excellents XD

[charred rapids]

Near 800 ultras I plan on opening all those extra gifts on the weekend

700 greats, I’m in a good position.

[radiant vigil]

only will probs get 2 best friends in though, sadly they're allll way to spread out

at least you'll be easy to coordinate with ahaha

[charred rapids]

Yeah I usually am, I hunt down people if we’re a day away so don’t ya worry

[radiant vigil]

same timezone, multiple accounts, it's like a dream. getting an american and brit to open their gifts at the same time to egg was fuuuuun

also there's like another bundy guy on my friend list that randomly added me on here, wonder if you know them

[charred rapids]

Well I make sure I’m the one to open it if it’s a pom or yank, we’re a day ahead so ours will always count.

[radiant vigil]

yeah i do that two, watch it go from 2 days to best friends in 2 minutes

[charred rapids]

What’s the bundy guys name

[radiant vigil]

raramen or something

[charred rapids]

Ray

[radiant vigil]

hahah you know them i guess lol

[charred rapids]

Yeah one of the main players in our community.

Use to do raid trains with em.

[radiant vigil]

yeah high level, figured you'd very very much likely know em XD

small pogo world i guess

[charred rapids]

Yeah weirdly enough our town is full of level 45+ players, there’s an old sheila with 5 accounts all 45 average

[radiant vigil]

wow, nice i guess cos i usually know the older (well no longer my local lol) players, they'll all be mostly 45+ too

[charred rapids]

Some of them however are under the influence of the auto excellent throw catching

[radiant vigil]

i didn't know you could do that....gotcha is one thing, but that's uh too much

[charred rapids]

The fella that went from 47 to 49 in like two weeks hit 50 yesterday, so 47 to 50 in three weeks, without having the XP for any of the levels to begin with.

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Ohhhhh yeah....he was jumping 4, 5, 6 million a night or two, was dumb as heck.

[radiant vigil]

aww, enjoy the journey it's not a race

[charred rapids]

I removed him, I couldn’t look at his account.

[radiant vigil]

my friend who has more than enough xp is taking his sweet time, it's driving me nuts

[charred rapids]

You need like 70mill from 47 to 50 like how do you do that in three weeks starting from 0.

[radiant vigil]

yeah nah

[charred rapids]

Yeeeee I dunno, he’s doing it with his missus account now, level 45, bish wasn’t even 40 couple months ago.

[radiant vigil]

gonna be stuck at 47 for 8 weeks though

[charred rapids]

And the rockets

That is if he doesn’t buy all 50 radars like a dumbass

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

You’d be surprised honestly.

[radiant vigil]

i didn't buy any...i did these things manually one by one

[charred rapids]

I bought I think 3-4? But I was so tired of walking.

[radiant vigil]

i saw it as an opportunity to exercise, it was good for me then now i'm lazy and unfit again

[charred rapids]

Hey same

where’s me Doritos and invites

[radiant vigil]

it's a miracle that i go out and walk to zig raids to save my remote raid passes bwahaha

[charred rapids]

And for that you’re our hero

[radiant vigil]

most of them i don't need to walk for, last night i wanted to yeet my pass and took a loooong walk which revealed a lot of treasure

[charred rapids]

Yeah I can’t do that, gyms are pretty thinned out between here and town.

But when I got to town today, not a single zig raid until I left town 3 hours later

[radiant vigil]

either it's none or like 3 at once from what i've seen

[charred rapids]

The number of zig raids, 99% are from you

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

And I’ve been out two days in a row, you’re basically my dealer

[radiant vigil]

i'm the serial raid dealer, i provide special services only

[charred rapids]

fuckin jeeez thinking alike that’s a little scary

[radiant vigil]

i wish i could tag certain people, because it's usually the same group of like 5-8 accounts i always invite

i dont' want to keep manual searching let me bulk inviteeeee

[charred rapids]

Well you don’t need to tag me during the day usually I’m already on and playing so I won’t miss it unless I’m actually busy.

But I don’t work until next week so

[radiant vigil]

i don't think you've missed an invite i've sent so far you've actually been online every time

my friends however i do need to tell them to get their asses online

[charred rapids]

Pffft and you say they’re as hardcore

Filthy casuals

[radiant vigil]

they are...when they're not working/at uni XD

[charred rapids]

Pathetic

[radiant vigil]

one guy does have over 200mil exp, he's actually just chilling now

[charred rapids]

Pfffft yeah casual

[radiant vigil]

he took so long at 44 because he wanted to only purify 1k stardust mons, then the rocket issue happened

[charred rapids]

I can beat that in like 4 years, I’m just warming up

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

5 depending on when the game dies

[radiant vigil]

hopefully i can get my good shinies out by then

i will probably be forced to start deleting shinies after gible comm day because i cannot hold them any longer

[charred rapids]

Yeah I’m being generous, we’re already on gen 6 legendaries.

[radiant vigil]

haven't even released all of gen 5 yet

where is kecleon dammit gimme ma plat already

[flint wind]

niantic is gettin a bit ahead of themselves

[charred rapids]

Nah for some reason we keeping crappy mons like druddigon hidden

But let’s give em Xerneas and Yveltal

[flint wind]

add shiny hoppip to game when

[radiant vigil]

let me finish my hoenn plat badge please

[charred rapids]

Hoppip? Nah fam hoothoot and spinarak

[radiant vigil]

hoothoot is a cool shade of yellow

[charred rapids]

Gimme my nice shiny spooder

[flint wind]

ariados shiny is bleh tho

[charred rapids]

Hoppip is green

Green shines are bleh

[radiant vigil]

plant

[charred rapids]

It’s just a flying shiny oddish

[flint wind]

shiny stantler is amazin tho

[radiant vigil]

shiny oddish is beautiful, really depends on the green

tauros is filthy, but tangela is 👌

[charred rapids]

I guess that’s subjective

[flint wind]

stantler tauros scrafty tranquill and bronzor are all gorgeous shinies

[charred rapids]

Because I don’t like shiny stantler, there’s a couple greens I don’t mind

[radiant vigil]

i only like tranquill out of that list

i think it's the shade of green, i like the horrible bright ones but not the muted greens lol

scrafty is cool too, that's a nice contrast

[charred rapids]

Zubat, Noivern, Mr Mime just a couple of clean shines

[radiant vigil]

very clean

[flint wind]

noivern is amazing

[radiant vigil]

noivern is amazing, seconded

can't even get normal ones nowadays tho LOL

[charred rapids]

I love shiny noibat though, that’s gonna be a battle on whether I want to evolve it or not lol

[radiant vigil]

get two, then no struggle

[charred rapids]

Because it will just be deino in a year, two people in the world will have it on release max.

[radiant vigil]

that's sadly too true

[charred rapids]

Then slowly but surely 15 people will have it

[radiant vigil]

also watch it be their first noibat encounter

the shiny screenshot that triggers me the most is when the shiny is their first ever encounter

[rustic nova]

how many shiny Deino do you think are out there?

[charred rapids]

I’m waiting for that bitch around the corner to get the shundo first encounter

Shiny deino? Uhhhh not enough to even fill a small town honestly.

[radiant vigil]

well here we have cho, so at least 1

actually struggling to think of people i know with it

[charred rapids]

No one in my town, at least no one with a legit shiny deino.

That’s around 300 players

[radiant vigil]

i may have seen the screenshot in the old local chat, but i don't really know the people in there any more

[rustic nova]

my first ever Bagon encounter was from the research of some Hoenn event last May, and it was shiny

[charred rapids]

Luckily bagon had a comm day

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

i wasnt around then

[flint wind]

my first tauros was shiny
from research for lunar new year

[radiant vigil]

it's full odds, so that deserves the face if it was comm dy 1/25 lol

[charred rapids]

Yeah I ended up with all 4 regionals on release farfetch’d was my last one needed on the second last day of the event

[radiant vigil]

i just have the local kanga shiny

[charred rapids]

Hatching out of 7’s was a blessing.

[rustic nova]

abra community day was a couple days after i first started playing. so naturally my first abra of pogo was shiny

[radiant vigil]

yeah i wasn't that lucky

[charred rapids]

Back when the screenshot encounters would show up shiny in the overworld

[radiant vigil]

i started keeping track of event boosted shinies that i got shinies of later after...i'm at 11 so far

[charred rapids]

Remember when abra was accidentally released awhile back at go fest

[radiant vigil]

oh yeah, the rarest shiny at the time haha

[charred rapids]

Those same people got super mad at the comm day, because it’s not rare now, I don’t know what people think but I mean it’s going to lose value regardless eventually why does it matter when

[rustic nova]

how dare other people get a shiny that i have !!!

[radiant vigil]

yeah when i got my shiny snivy on release i'm like yay, but also 'lol comm day going to trash this soon lolol'

[charred rapids]

It’s such a big issue, when gible was announced it was full of it aye

The Twitter feed was just toxic people like “oh man this isn’t even gonna be rare anymore how dare you” I mean it was inevitable bruh

[rustic nova]

i rlly dont understand ppl getting upset when previously rare shinies become more common. its just a game lol

[radiant vigil]

cos they probs spent $100 for the bragging rights

and now they can't brag any longer

[charred rapids]

^Yes

[rustic nova]

every shiny is going to become more common eventually, so why bother spending so much on it is how i feel

[radiant vigil]

yeah my rationale, so i'll have a try, but within reason

[charred rapids]

Even more so the game will die, either the shines stay on your account and you never touch it again or you move it to the main series games where nothing is rare lol

[rustic nova]

only time i ever spent an unnecessary amount of money going for a shiny was Snorlax during the kanto event, cuz its the evolution of my fav mon

unfortunately didnt get it

[radiant vigil]

it's funny but covid kinda saved pogo to a degree lol

[charred rapids]

The only thing that was rare was shiny mew but even then so many people did it on multiple accounts, there’d be tons floating on sword and shield.

[radiant vigil]

rn people are still doing the quest, i haven't actually seen that many in max raids

[charred rapids]

The level 40 quest put a halt on basically everyone

[rustic nova]

i did like 35-40 raids for snorlax, i guess in the end it was all money from gift cards though so not that big of a deal to me

[radiant vigil]

yeah i used to have one box of shinies...i have like 20 now after swsh...lol

[charred rapids]

Ahhhh shiny snorlax, my toilet shiny

[rustic nova]

i will get him eventually!!

[radiant vigil]

is snorlax even out rn lol

[charred rapids]

I nearly lost control of me Willy when it popped up.

[radiant vigil]

i don't blame ya

i have also caught shinies on the 🚽

[charred rapids]

Snorlax would still spawn, but with the abundance of the events, yeah chances are you won’t see one

[rustic nova]

ive talked about it before in here but i think a comm day of snorlax with shiny munchlax from eggs would be fantastic

[charred rapids]

I don’t see it happening though.

[radiant vigil]

ah with the boosted hatch rate ay

[rustic nova]

but you can tell from my pfp i may be a little biased when it comes to that pokemon family

[charred rapids]

I see it being an event that’s not a comm day.

[rustic nova]

ye i dont see it ever happening either but i would love it

[radiant vigil]

and applin for breakfast

[charred rapids]

Like Riolu and lucario

[rustic nova]

no they r just friends !!

[charred rapids]

They’ll drop shiny munchlax and make it near impossible to hatch

[rustic nova]

its to be expected tbh

[radiant vigil]

like fish are friends to bruce???

[charred rapids]

And put snorlax in raids

[rustic nova]

they r very good friends going on adventure to save da world

[radiant vigil]

^^ $$$$ time

i can imagine chaos for shiny snorlax raids

the real chaos would be shiny lake trio...

[flint wind]

yep

[rustic nova]

what can we say other than they certainly know how to make money from this game lol

[radiant vigil]

i held out for like 4 years, then they released shiny mew and even i couldn't resist

[charred rapids]

Yeah need to find a European friend and an American that you can fully rely on

We got Mitch for one of those

[radiant vigil]

His timezone is good because I'm still awake when he wakes up

I know one guy in the US who used to be a local and moved over, and he's solid too

[charred rapids]

Yeah but then you need a pom or something for the other

[radiant vigil]

Europeans are waaaay awake at this time, most of the people I added for uxie were from europe

But not a solid raid buddy hmmm, likely it's a 'i give you an uxie for mesprit' repeat

[charred rapids]

This is just one of the possibilities that could drop for go fest, shiny lake spirits for a global raid task.

Another is probably a mega legendary

[radiant vigil]

mewtwo

[charred rapids]

Or Ray

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

i realized the other day that the shundo latias i got will be able to mega evolve one day and i think thats epic

[charred rapids]

If they don’t do this, that’s such a missed opportunity on profit

Go fest tickets and passes for mega legendary raids

[radiant vigil]

i guess i should do the same for the bfs shundo latias lmao

[charred rapids]

My shundo legendaries suck

[flint wind]

imagine having shundo legendaries

[rustic nova]

all it means is that im gonna have to grind out latias for xl candies and mega stuff when it releases again

[radiant vigil]

i don't think articuno can mega evolve sadge

[flint wind]

only shiny legend i have so far is articuno

[rustic nova]

more money for pogo

[flint wind]

[radiant vigil]

articuno was my first hundo legend from a raid

(it was also a shundo lmao)

[rustic nova]

articuno is a good shiny to be fair

[radiant vigil]

mystic birb, fitting first hundo was also the very first legendary i caught in pogo

[charred rapids]

Moltres and cresselia

Neither of which have any use

[radiant vigil]

cresselia is a pvp beast...last i was aware of it

[flint wind]

yea its a tonk

[rustic nova]

at least they are cool shinies

[charred rapids]

For ultra league not a hundo

[radiant vigil]

maybe it's not longer useful, i just know i traded over 20 cresselia to my pvp friend who wanted one for GL

[charred rapids]

It’s useful in ultra league, but would need pvp specific IV’s for the most use

[radiant vigil]

so of course, he didn't get the sub 1500 one, but i did

it just sits and tanks really, not strong but it tanks away

[charred rapids]

They need to do those again, the legendaries with exclusive moves that were level 15

Groudon with fire punch, Ho-oh for some reason had earthquake

[radiant vigil]

oh i remember those, kept them as souvenirs but never used them

[charred rapids]

Yeah none of mine were shiny, did keep them though.

[radiant vigil]

hahaha like we'd be the lucky ones to get it shiny

[charred rapids]

Judging by my recent luck.

That’s a hard no

[radiant vigil]

Luck in the wrong places

[charred rapids]

Already midnight, should probably crash, if I’m to wake up early enough for raids.

[radiant vigil]

I'm wfh, so I'll yeet them over to you if I see any

[charred rapids]

Thank you that would be much appreciated

[radiant vigil]

milli's raid dealing wallet destroying services at the ready

[flint wind]

rip wallet

[radiant vigil]

i think i've already contributed to the burning of several wallets oops

[small hollow]

If anyone is hunting Eevee & zigzagoon raids , message me and lets add eachother :)

[ivory halo]

K, thanks mate.

[tight pilot]

Not hunting but can drop you in some other until the event ends! I’ll drop my code in #788495806415241267

[karmic raven]

Did Clefairy get a shiny boost or something?

[charred rapids]

I don’t believe so.

[dusty oracle]

Nope, there's just more of them spawning,

(Hence an increase in the probability of finding a clefairy, hence a technical increase of you finding a shiny clefairy. The rates haven't changed though.)

[stark narwhal]

I'm still finding it stupid that we Had Marrill Community hour last night after the special research less than a week before. smh

[flint wind]

i didnt even try with the spotlight hour
i alr got 5 marill from special research

[stark narwhal]

Shiny or reg

[charred rapids]

and now marill on go fest

[flint wind]

shiny

[stark narwhal]

I caught one shiny one even though I didn't pay for the ticket.

Has anything really been announced for Go Fest though? I haven't participated in one though.

[charred rapids]

Just that meloetta will be the mythical for the event.

[flint wind]

yep

[stark narwhal]

So it will available from raids or what

[charred rapids]

Special research

Like mew, celebi, Jirachi.

[stark narwhal]

I remember not having to pay to access victini so I don't have to pay for Meloetta I sure won't bother again lol.

[west marsh]

Do you think we’ll get both forms ??

That’s my biggest concern for Meloetta

[flint wind]

probably not on release

[stark narwhal]

I wish I could get hold of another Victini so I could transfer it to Home.

[charred rapids]

That’s because mythicals eventually are released for free after Go Fest, so if you don’t buy the ticket you’ll still get it

[west marsh]

I’m excited for go fest this year. I just hope it’s worth it.

[charred rapids]

The ticket costs money for the shiny rates and other bonuses that non ticket holders don’t get, I think at most you’ll get raids and a couple spawns.

[stark narwhal]

Shiny Rates

[flint wind]

more shinies with depreciating value

[charred rapids]

Go fest usually is worth it, even when people say it’s not, they’re just salty because it didn’t go in their favour or they didn’t get what they want.

[west marsh]

The shinies for me last year were awful lol

[flint wind]

all i wanted for kanto tour was cheeto electabuzz
got it 5 mins before my last incense ran out

[charred rapids]

Eh nowadays shines don’t have any value anyway.

[flint wind]

yep

[west marsh]

I usually pay for any event I can do. I’ve preferred the safari zones I’ve done over the global go fest

[flint wind]

what shinies still have somewhat value

[stark narwhal]

Me never bothering to use Incense and still getting shiny Electabuzz.

[west marsh]

Costume shinies?

But only a few

[charred rapids]

Mew and Celebi.

Because shiny mew was only released in the main series game in one country still has some value

[flint wind]

me vibing over here with my hundo celebi

[stark narwhal]

I still think they're cool. I love having them. I'm going to let "depreciating value" bother me.

[flint wind]

[charred rapids]

Costume shines eh, nah.

[west marsh]

cries in only 2 star mythicals

[charred rapids]

Just reskins

[west marsh]

True...

I don’t know what would the most rare /valuable shiny in pogo aside from mythical.

[charred rapids]

Like people are hyping up shiny libre pika, I’d probably transfer it

[west marsh]

Aw I would love to get that one haha.

[charred rapids]

Useless mon, I have enough pikas

[stark narwhal]

I still want a shiny Minun to pair with my shiny Plusle.
