[steel parcel]

if you don’t do pvp, then anything with a mega evolution and top pve attackers by type

[modern nymph]

got it. save save save until 30

[primal sluice]

i basically only evolve anything that is 98/96/hundo :V

that is for pve wise

[modern nymph]

what level are you at devil?

[primal sluice]

not too long ago im level 38

[steel parcel]

yea still haven’t evolved a lucario bc i don’t have a riolu above 94 lol

[primal sluice]

on my main

[modern nymph]

since i'm just evolving them for the sake of leveling myself up to unlock new pokedex entries which i think is still 1000 without lucky egg

or the field research quest

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel u know that i just realize im level 38 and i still havent nominate my stop as yet lmooo this dumb rainy weather messing up the pictures T.T

[steel parcel]

forgot to add that pokes that can only be hatched are good lucky trade candidates, as well as legendaries for guaranteed lucky trades

[steel parcel]

i liked the pics you sent me earlier

v peaceful

[radiant vigil]

Problem is have to submit on the spot for pogo

[primal sluice]

what a tip i would recommend is that stack those pokemon that you plan on evolving is to keep them until u use a lucky egg when you opening friendship gift which takes at most 15mins but if you do it fast probably in less than 10min so u have that extra time left on the lucky egg you can use it on evolve unless you have a good spawning spot during 3x xp pe catch you wanna use that time to get excellent throw

[modern nymph]

thank you for the tip. sadly i only made like 1 excellent throw after like 200 attempts and i'd say my fail rate is like 40% . as in 40% of my throws miss

[crisp relic]

Prince Vanitas has given 1 'General Rep' to Ryan^-^.

[primal sluice]

XD when i was abt to submit the back up picture when it ask for the view of the area i try to take out the wharf n it came out dark XD and then data run out so i couldnt submit XD

[primal sluice]

o dont worrry abt that XD if you ever think your doing worst just think of my rng in the game most the time i throw a excellent shot it jumps out but stays in on a randomly mistaken throw T.T

[radiant vigil]

This event is good practice for excellent throws - slowpoke is nice and big and not very agressive practice on that first

[modern nymph]

i should go watch some excellent throw tutorials

[radiant vigil]

It's easiest imo to practice on the same Pokemon first

And don't try on stuff like zubat you'll go insane

Anything with a small circle I don't bother with

[primal sluice]

i thought gible would been the best grind until it starts to be moody T.T

[radiant vigil]

Gible was so aggressive omg

I didn't even try lucky egging throws because of it. Once I nanabed it was much easier but I only had so many...

[primal sluice]

i didnt even bother using lucky egg cuz i was out of lucky egg that day XD i used my 2 lucky egg during that bonus of 60 gifts opening :V

[radiant vigil]

Yeah I used one egg for friendships and that's it xD

[primal sluice]

speaking of that i just check my pokemon that i placed in gym and 2 of them been there for 3 days now.... i mean i dont mind but dang let one be knock out today and one tmr XD

[radiant vigil]

Ugh yeah mine didn't get knocked out today cos someone grazz

[primal sluice]

im waiting to see which one of mine gets knock out first so i can grazz the other one to keep it alive until the next day

[alpine oak]

Would anyone be willing to trade a shiny sunglasses squirtle for my shiny groudon or zapdos? I missed the event, and id really like one

[flint wind]

pretty sure you have to be within 100 meters of someone to trade so its very unlikely that you would find someone here.

[radiant vigil]

Yeah or wait until 40km trading event... Again hard to find

[stark narwhal]

I’ll freaking take that

[alpine oak]

Ah well rip

[stark narwhal]

I mean it could always be worse. Quite happy with this tbh

[copper moth]

Finally got my slowpoke-centipede shirt

[steel parcel]

trying to stock up on 5km eggs for shiny wynaut but i keep getting 10kms

[flint wind]

is shiny spoink boosted by this event?

[rustic nova]

What do y’all think about 12km eggs? The only reason I bother incubating them is for the chance of shiny Larvitar or shiny Skorupi

[analog steeple]

I like the 12km eggs personally

I walk a lot so it’s fun getting cool stuff for them

Been hoping for a shiny riolu myself

[charred rapids]

Shiny Riolu from 10’s though right?

[analog steeple]

Oh I’m dumb I was thinking adventure sync 10km eggs

I only ever seem to hatch deino and vullaby from my 12kms

Certainly not complaining but want the pancham

[charred rapids]

Must be nice to get deino

[analog steeple]

Keeping it as my buddy solely to flex on everyone before it becomes the next Gible

[fluid eagle]

ngl i really love vullaby

its one of my gbl spice picks

@analog steeple

its like umbreon but with a better side move but sadly lil more weakness due to the flying

[analog steeple]

Mandibuzz was my fav for a long time

A-tales, Mandibuzz, politoed

[charred rapids]

Yeah shiny deino will be a thing of the past come July

[analog steeple]

Was running that team and then started seeing it more and more and realized a YouTuber had made it popular

[fluid eagle]

im quite fond of poli

aint had one yet but see alot in gbl

[analog steeple]

Think they were in GBL reward pool last season

[fluid eagle]

mandibuzz is defo a poke im a fan of and a-tales is good but i always have one of its weakness so ive stood a chance against it

i only got tooo like 12 i think

didnt see it but 14 so far this season

[primal sluice]

yay i finally nomainated my pokestop now i shall pray for it to get through T.T

[charred rapids]

Wooooweeee this XL bonus is insane

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel just met my first tropius damn its anyyounging to vs

[steel parcel]

yea me n cho are probably the biggest tropius fangirls you’re gonna meet. love me a good grasshole

[fluid eagle]

ive been checking hoppips furiously for a tropius substitute

[radiant vigil]

Tropius is great apart from the fact that its regional so I only have the one lol

[analog steeple]

It’s funny how many folks run it as a grass girl when she’s super good as an air attacker

[steel parcel]

tropius is a babe

[analog steeple]

Faced a few tropius mirrors and never lost cause everyone’s running as a grass

[fluid eagle]

grass in general is pretty good

[steel parcel]

they don’t have flying/grass double moves?

[fluid eagle]

id love a good venasaur with sludge bomb and grass typing

[analog steeple]

For the charged move

Fast move ya gotta pick grass or flying

Grass mows down water obviously but flying let’s you beat fighting and mirrors

[steel parcel]

i run mine with razor leaf + leaf blade/aerial ace

[fluid eagle]

all depends on your setup though

and doesnt razor charge moves faster

[analog steeple]

Nah

I checked before I committed

Hits harder I believe but otherwise nope

[fluid eagle]

youve gotta look at it from another perspective

alot of water/ground typing dominatye pogo so the grass helps more then flying

[analog steeple]

Depends what you’re running. If you run her as a grass girl your only win condition on the medi/basti/sableye team is keeping azu for medi or getting enough charged moves off on medi

[fluid eagle]

currently running altaria, azu and a-graveler

its nb been getting me some wins for dust to improve others

[analog steeple]

Niceeeee

[fluid eagle]

working on a swalot for a spicy pick

[analog steeple]

You don’t need to xl swalot right?

Been working on a vigoroth team. Seen a few annoying medi/double steel teams and would love to be able to beat them if nothing else just cause I hate that matchup

[fluid eagle]

no i can hit 1500 with normals

[analog steeple]

Oooo nice!

[fluid eagle]

medi reqs xl right? since most mine can go max 760 cp

[analog steeple]

I believe so. Haven’t looked too much at the medi lineup

Oh! @fluid eagle you know what you’re gonna run for remix cup yet?

Have a jellicent and tropius I wanted to run but not sure what’s gonna be a good lead

Lotta good mons are out so it feels like a fairy/fighting cup

[fluid eagle]

what makes it a remix?

is there limitations?

tonight im currently running azu-wiggly-altaria

alot of dragon and fairys i can stall out

[analog steeple]

Lemme find it for ya

Bottom left

[fluid eagle]

offt aint thought about it, couple of pokes i use there coming out

im excited for the element cup tbh i think ducklett gonna dominate @analog steeple, probally definately gonna use wiggly in remix

[flint wind]

ahh wont have to deal with altaria walls
i could run scrafty again, but i feel as though ariados is gonna shine in the cup

[fluid eagle]

scrafty going out

[flint wind]

bastiodon and gfisk and altaria are banned

[analog steeple]

Yo I found someone to trade me a ducklett for elemental cup lol

[flint wind]

wait duckletts good

[analog steeple]

Top 20 is banned for rank Ace and up

[fluid eagle]

and for element cup can only use base pokemon not evolution and 500 cp max

[analog steeple]

Yeah I’m debating snagging a good nidoqueen but my only one is booty

[fluid eagle]

ducklett gonna be a beast i think it can run brave bird

[analog steeple]

Shadow with frustration

[fluid eagle]

chold

[flint wind]

[fluid eagle]

what you think about this

[flint wind]

i shouldve been catching ducklettts?

[fluid eagle]

@analog steeple

[flint wind]

also is it weird that one of my comm day shiny gibles is 0 atk 15def 0 hp

[fluid eagle]

i had a good iv garchomp and like a 99% garbite

[analog steeple]

Yo what a great shadow!!!!!!

[fluid eagle]

altaria just came in clutch for me

beat tropius and swampert

[fossil basin]

17 pokemon left to dex for kanto gold medal

[radiant vigil]

yay

[fossil basin]

though i think its alright cause i have evolve a gyrados

seriously i need to move so many pokemon to home xp

[radiant vigil]

At least normal mons are cheap to move to home. Shinies on the other hand....

[fossil basin]

i know

[radiant vigil]

Still trying not to delete my comm day shinies to yeet to home but it's getting hard lol

[fossil basin]

you know maybe i should activate the mystery box now. cause double candy lol

[charred rapids]

Do it

I now have 649 XL candy for meltan

[radiant vigil]

I just woke up

[charred rapids]

I haven’t slept

[fluid eagle]

melmetal such a decent poke

and its easy exp/dust for an hour its basicly a freeby incense every few days @fossil basin

should take more advantage of it

[steel parcel]

set a new personal record today

took 47 excellent curveballs to catch regirock

[fossil basin]

how many km is needed to jiggly puff walk as you rbuddy per candy

cause i need 3 to evolve it

okay 1km. might as well

[sleek quarry]

If you have a poffin, you could cut it in half

[fossil basin]

i dont have wnough pokecoins

[sleek quarry]

You can find them for AR tasks sometimes. That's how I get them

[fossil basin]

i cant get out just yet lol lockdown

im just walkking around my house

@charred rapids you know the gifts you send me. i have a feeling ive been there before when i was on holiday lol

[charred rapids]

Bundaberg? Probably

[fossil basin]

the places in qld XD

[charred rapids]

Yeah bundy, north of Brisbane.

[fossil basin]

haha

welp there is 2 gyms next to each other both taken over by 5 alts

[fluid eagle]

im probally the most active player by me

i own 4/5 gyms

[fossil basin]

i cant really move outside but when i can ill take it down

maybe

not your gyms lol

[fluid eagle]

not 'mine' but i probally use em the most circulate and making sure they change every 8 hours

alot of 1 colour so not alot defeatring gyms

[fossil basin]

no shiny meltan just yet

unless i cant anymore

[analog steeple]

Only turned on during events

[fossil basin]

yeah i though as much

[radiant vigil]

I hate shiny meltan with a passion

[raw pulsar]

can you even get shiny meltan?

[analog steeple]

It’s turned on during events but currently no

[charred rapids]

[fossil basin]

my best is 96%

meltan.

[raw pulsar]

STONKS

[charred rapids]

I’m sure we’re in for a shiny meltan drop again, it’s been awhile.

[radiant vigil]

I need one more for the collection

[fossil basin]

Well I'm stumped on how to get 17 pokemon left for th dex

For gold kanto medal

[unique hazel]

can never have too many shiny meltan

[fossil basin]

i just logged into one of my pretty old accounts and i have a groudon on it

[plain grail]

First encounter of the day

[fossil basin]

sweet

[hybrid rune]

Anyone know this player changed there name since we went ultra and can’t remember the original name

[steel parcel]

@primal sluice after top lefting 4 of his last 5 matches bc of lag or bad leads, bf is getting matched up against single-moved pokes with suboptimal movesets his impatience always seems to work out for him

[vestal hollow]

anyone else just have terrible shiny luck w/ one Specific regi? mine seems to be rock 😭

Really tempted to buy more passes just because I am desperate 😅

I got shiny ice in one raid and steel in 2

I've done like 6 and no shiny whatsoever 😭

I'll be honest I was wanting to save ice for last

Yeah that's one of the main reasons I wanted to put it off

Ice is technically darker in color too but not by a lot

Steel is the best though out of all 3

[radiant vigil]

I've done like 70 legendaries in a row without shiny before rng sucks haha

[vestal hollow]

My lvl is 28 and here's my trainer code 8795 1832 8856

Alright

[woeful pulsar]

My worst was kyogre took like 74 for the first shiny

[charred rapids]

Yeah I mean legendary rates are 1 in 20 so can’t expect it every time before 20

Nearly 200 giratina origin raids before my shiny came to me

Enough

[vestal hollow]

btw is it worth buying go fest tickets? I've never actually participated so

[charred rapids]

yes definitely

[radiant vigil]

the raid passes you get alone are worth

[charred rapids]

Yeah definitely recommend.

This year is a perfect time to experience your first Go Fest

[radiant vigil]

i guess go fest was never meant to be for me

[charred rapids]

Enjoy your trip Milli, honestly better to live

[primal sluice]

after my main acc set yesterday and abt 2 set of eeach alt i didnt bother keep going cuz yesterday wasnt my day i lost most my games

[steel parcel]

what team are you running?

[primal sluice]

same usual umbreon stunfisk and azu on main

[steel parcel]

if you’re not averaging a ~50% win rate, you either need to change your team or your strategy

last resort on umbreon?

[primal sluice]

ill need elite tm for that

i try to get it the last time

[steel parcel]

i would switch it for a different poke then

bf’s running the same team with a 75-80% win rate (no double moves on umbreon or azu either) so i’m not sure what the disconnect is

i mean, at rank 18, so not going up against the big bois yet

jessie in japanese

ya local weeb gotchu covered

@primal sluice who do you lose to the most? you don’t have any coverage against medicham

and your team is very lineup dependent so unless you’re a whiz at counting moves and shield management, you’re gonna have trouble

[radiant vigil]

many gbl pros here

[steel parcel]

not a pro haha i’m just good at type matchups

still working on move counting

[charred rapids]

Then there’s us trying to squizz to rank 10

[primal sluice]

tbh i lose to most things like on a same percentage so regardless i swap i get counter by the next XD so im not quite sure what im plan on doing :V

[radiant vigil]

sometimes it's just shit matchups against what you have and you yeet right out

[charred rapids]

Nah don’t yeet right out, can win even with a loss lead

Depends what your safe swap is

[steel parcel]

even if you get hard countered a lot, you should be hard countering at the same rate

[radiant vigil]

nah i only yeet at the end if i have one mon left and i know it will get hammered XD

[charred rapids]

I’ve sacked a hypno on a g fisk so that when it takes it out I come in with a fighter to farm

[steel parcel]

definitely! i’ve got so many wins where i stayed in on a bad lead

[radiant vigil]

yeah people have definitely messed up even with the lead

[charred rapids]

And when the fighter is like a medi even azu or altaria need to tread carefully.

[primal sluice]

when i swap out my altaria there is a grass type and when i swap in there is a charmer type :/

[radiant vigil]

grass is fine against altaria, keep altaria in

[steel parcel]

for every altaria lead against basti, i run into a gunfisk lead, and i can usually flip at least a third of those matches with good shield management/swapping

[charred rapids]

No he means when he swaps it out they bring their grass in I assume

[primal sluice]

yea and that is when i start getting charmer XD

[charred rapids]

Lining their charmer up against his altaria

[steel parcel]

you should still be at roughly 50% wins

[radiant vigil]

oh rip yeah altaria is not a safe swap because someone defo has a counter for that XD

[charred rapids]

When your safe swap isn’t safe, you need to consider changing your safe

[fluid eagle]

its a beautiful day out guys

[steel parcel]

yea i’d get a good vig while they’re spawning

[radiant vigil]

it's a dark cold night right 🥶

[fluid eagle]

i think ima drag my ass on a long hoppip search

@steel parcel my vigs shit but i aint got secondary move yet

[charred rapids]

Vig, obstagoon, scrafty, deoxys defence, there’s a few you could use that have a good spread

[steel parcel]

vig is probably the easiest to get rn. body slam charges super fast and is only resisted by steel

[fluid eagle]

thats probs why my vigs bad

[charred rapids]

Which counter destroys anyway

[steel parcel]

you do get walled by skarmory but if you’re running vig you should already have an answer for skarm

[fluid eagle]

i got bulldoze for now

[charred rapids]

Counter does decent damage to skarm though

[fluid eagle]

altaria beats out skarmory atleast

[steel parcel]

does it? i feel like they go down at the same rate

just depends on energy management

[primal sluice]

is a equal fight

[fluid eagle]

ive beaten every skarm ive versed with altaria

[radiant vigil]

my altaria lost against a skarmory XD

[fluid eagle]

maybe i just played my turns right

[primal sluice]

although skarmory have advantage

[charred rapids]

Yeah it’s all about the players and how much they’re willing to risk

[steel parcel]

maybe we need a pvp channel lol

[radiant vigil]

pretty sure skarm resists whatever moves altaria has

[charred rapids]

Some get greedy with farmin

[primal sluice]

he dosent take much damage from sky sttack when altaria take a bit more

[steel parcel]

i feel bad for taking over general

[charred rapids]

This is the pvp channel it’s pogo general

[steel parcel]

tune in now!

[fluid eagle]

@radiant vigil both have sky attack and altaria has nutreal damage with d-breath

[radiant vigil]

i mean..pvp is pogo so

[primal sluice]

tbh i might end up running my old team XD

[radiant vigil]

steel resistances are all over the place and they've changed over the years, can't remember exactly

[charred rapids]

Trust me I’ve asked for another channel for TCG and that failed, I’d be shocked if you could get one in for something that is fine in general

[steel parcel]

as long as the non pvpers don’t mind i don’t!

[steel parcel]

what was your old team?

[charred rapids]

No one uses it anyway? It’s quiet half the time

[primal sluice]

just stunfisk altaria and azu i think

[steel parcel]

i meant a pvp channel under the pogo channel haha. don’t have a hang of discord lingo yet

[charred rapids]

If it’s not pvp people are flexing here because they can’t in the flex channel

[fluid eagle]

good team imo i use alt and azu alot and stun is always good

[steel parcel]

lol

yea it’s an overused team but it’s ou bc it’s good

[charred rapids]

I’d tell you what I use but it wouldn’t matter

[radiant vigil]

i feel like running something you're familiar with helps though because you know exactly what you're weak to

[steel parcel]

yes, exactly

[primal sluice]

yea my alt is doing good with a random team but it is doing better than my main XD i feel like when i try i fail more than when im trolling XD

[charred rapids]

Galvantula, hypno and whatever I choose to be my third

[steel parcel]

you know exactly how much damage you take from every move which helps with shield management

[charred rapids]

But might swap gal to ariados seeing the success on it

[radiant vigil]

i guess people at upper ranks know how to shield bait better, down the pleb side people try to bait with obvious fast charging charge moves and I'm like nope

[charred rapids]

Shield bait and sack swap

[radiant vigil]

felt that frenzy plant coming and swapped into altaria right on time

[steel parcel]

i’d try watching some youtubers to see if they help with your strategy. and make sure you know your type matchups esp resistances! even in the 2100-2200s i still see people who don’t know that ghost resists poison and bug resists fighting

[charred rapids]

Azu is the easiest, 5 bubbles for ice beam, 5-6 for play rough depending.

[fluid eagle]

ariados looks good

aint seen any use though

[charred rapids]

Yeah, poison sting thanks to the buff and cross poison which works like night slash

With lunge, it’s tankier than Gal and walls grass

[radiant vigil]

honestly i have no idea what gal runs so when i saw it for the first time i'm like

[primal sluice]

i shall see what imma do im not exactly fighting to rank up im just trying to get the legendaries as encounter XD

[fossil basin]

gah i may have to use my alt for trading purposes but i dont have another phone

[charred rapids]

Gal is definitely trouble if you don’t know how to handle it

[fossil basin]

oh sorry for barging in

[steel parcel]

bulldoze on vig handles gal quite nicely

[charred rapids]

Lunge guarantees stat drop, discharge hits like a truck.

You have to get to bulldoze

Three volt switches and it’s already at a lunge where your ineffective counter has to work it’s way up, would need a energy advantage

And a shield bait

[steel parcel]

yea usually i try to charge it up facing another one of their pokes, get their shields down and finish it there

luckily haven't run into too many bc that kind of high level gamer strategy is above my pay grade most of the time

[charred rapids]

That’s why I said it’s trouble if it’s not handled correctly, good thing for most on how squishy it is

[steel parcel]

yea when i ran galv i liked how hard it hit but not how frail it was

[charred rapids]

Gal is a hit or miss, massive gamble.

It could win your game or be the reason you lose, like most glass cannons

[charred rapids]

So what’s the issue? Don’t have another phone?

[fossil basin]

yep

i mean i do but i cant be bothered updating it

and well i've been trying to find other ways

[charred rapids]

Depending on ya circumstance which isn’t currently great, there’s not many alternatives

[fossil basin]

also i may not have enough space to download it after

[radiant vigil]

I just waited a while until I got a new phone xD

Old phone now struggles bad with pogo lol

[fossil basin]

my old alt has a groudon but i cant transfer it lol cause it costs 1mil stardust

trade*

[radiant vigil]

Ah you need to work on that friendship xD

[fossil basin]

i mean i can use one if my family members phone but well i dont think they want pogo in thier phones

[primal sluice]

i just figure out how im handling the gifts of so many people XD
10 ultra friends gift starting at the bottom of ultra friends and starting the top of great friends i claim 20 :V

[fossil basin]

though i wonder... maybe one of my old andriod phones can handle it

guess ill deal with it tmr if i remeber

or today XD

[charred rapids]

[lusty spoke]

i can get a legendary ?

[primal sluice]

if your talking abt pvp yes u can get a chance to have a legendary that is in the current raid at rank 20

[analog steeple]

Ranks 20+ get a legendary encounter chance

[lusty spoke]

ah

[charred rapids]

Only just realised I finally got over 100 shiny legendaries

[steel parcel]

blessed registeel, so easy to circle lock

[charred rapids]

Greninja, Obstagoon , and Skarmory is a fun team in GL but with some of the new pokemon changes anyway i can revamp this team with keeping greninja? looking to spice things up party wise

[flint wind]

are hundos from eggs rare? also is shiny caterpie rare just got one

[steel parcel]

greninja and obsta are both weak to fairy and fighting and skarmory takes neutral dmg from fighting so not a bad third

greninja loses to medicham and azu which are everywhere; in sims skarmory beats them but not necessarily in practice

@charred rapids what do you have access to? greninja is v cool but loses to a lot of the meta so you need a fair bit of support

[charred rapids]

I could have almost anything but I want to build it around graninja I also run into a lot of galarian stunfisk

I'm in rank 17 but I'm looking to play with a newer team just got a 98% GL greninja and seems like a fun time

[flint wind]

problem is that greninja is super squishy

[charred rapids]

Thats ok

[flint wind]

mhm only problem is shadow victreebel and charmers can finish it before a single charged attack

[steel parcel]

i think greninja could only work after shields are down. with 113ish hp at optimal ivs it’s even more frail than froslass

so you’re going to be pressured to shield a lot

[flint wind]

could work for sure
just very risky

[charred rapids]

I was thinking alolan ninetails as lead and greninga as sweep and maybe dirfblim

[flint wind]

i feel as thought hypno could work on that style team
maybe gstun as 3rd mon

[steel parcel]

you’d get walled by skarmory though

[charred rapids]

I did see a politoad and azumeril greninja team not long ago too

[steel parcel]

livin on the edge

[charred rapids]

I did think about hypno and gstun definitely up there

[flint wind]

two tonks and offensive powerhouse

[charred rapids]

That was a 6 month old team was looking for a updated team i agree with you tho

[flint wind]

rn im running hypno anine politoed

[charred rapids]

The two teams i suggested any good?

[charred rapids]

I have a low low rank politoad and no earthquake... don't know about a alternative for him

[steel parcel]

you’ve got more bulk there, and blizzard will deal with grass threats. just got to watch out for medicham, ddeox and skarmory and get good with shield management

politoed is the spammier swampert, so maybe try him?

i’ve been using rainy castform which is politoed with more bite and having success with her

i did once go up against a team running greninja, delphox, chesnaught. they lost but they might have won if they were running braixen instead. lot of respect for them in any case!

[flint wind]

i dont shield bait with politoed
killed so many serperior/altaria because they expect shield bait from toed

[charred rapids]

I do have a good rainy castform i could try that out I have some amazing braixan too

[steel parcel]

going up against fire/grass/water teams is always fun! never ran it myself but they seem to have a fair amount of success in ulp especially

[charred rapids]

I like politoad but until I get earthquake I have him in time out

[steel parcel]

[charred rapids]

Only doing Great league now

[steel parcel]

the mental image of politoed sitting patiently in a corner is so cute

[flint wind]

equake is elite btw
and weather ball has stab

[charred rapids]

I do have melmetal laying around if that makes a difference

[flint wind]

depending on how you decide to structure your team one might be better than the other

[steel parcel]

yeah i elite tm’d earthquake on my poli but every now and then wish i had blizzard instead

[steel parcel]

rainy castform is great!! you get stab with water gun, it’s not as spammy as mud shot on poli but you actually deal damage

[charred rapids]

I played every now and again but right now I have quite a bit of time to play this Trying to be a little bit more competitive this time around

[steel parcel]

ahah summer vacation?

[charred rapids]

Graduated college and looking for a job until then I have time off

[steel parcel]

congrats!

[charred rapids]

Or until the pokemon games come out for the switch

[steel parcel]

gbl mightttt not be the most relaxing way to spend your break but if you have the time why not?

[flint wind]

it can enduce rage

[steel parcel]

i have my phone in a very protective case for all the times i chuck it against something

[charred rapids]

I finished my living dex in pokemon home about 3 months ago and said pokemon go next

[flint wind]

[charred rapids]

Thanks

[crisp relic]

ArchDrakin has given 1 'General Rep' to qt.

[charred rapids]

Well ill try hypno and rainy casform but it im hesitant

[steel parcel]

i had a win rate of 80% ish early season running rainy castform, skarmory and meganium

now it’s down to a humble 55% but hey it is how it is

[flint wind]

whats the 3rd mon for ur team gonna be? you are gonna want to use the punch that provides the best coverage along with shadow ball

or just use focus blast

[steel parcel]

rainy’s biggest threats are electric and grass so fire punch is what i’d recommend

or just use focus blast

[charred rapids]

I am about 50% not too but had a few 5-0 at rank 16 then Gslobro and many nidoqueens lol

[steel parcel]

everyone ends up at around 50% eventually, if they didn’t the matchmaking system would be broken

although i did see someone flexing their 100% win rate way back when but i can’t find her post now

[charred rapids]

This season?

[steel parcel]

nah like season 6

i was still baby then, didn’t know what the battle tab did at all

[flint wind]

should i evolve my shiny metapod (ivs are awful)

[steel parcel]

shiny butterfree is prettyyy so i say yes

[flint wind]

season 6 gang woop woop! (snorlax and meganium thank you for carrying me)

[steel parcel]

ooh who was your third?

[flint wind]

i dont remember i think scrafty, didnt have any good mons at all

[steel parcel]

[steel parcel]

[flint wind]

[steel parcel]

i'd like one restraining order pls

[flint wind]

ice shard avalanche here it come

and last resort ofc

[steel parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/personal-space-rickand-morty-gif-11240922

it's called social distancing sweaty maybe you've never heard of it

i swear everyone on here has teams that would hard counter mine

[flint wind]

whats so bad
its jus a glace

[steel parcel]

for real, shiny rank 1s are such a flex, you should go for it, just stay away from my mmr

[flint wind]

funniest thing was i thought it was really bad when i got it

turns out 0 15 12 is optimal set

also are egg hundos rare or common
hatched hundo shelmet earlier

ok got both moves for glaceon ready
now to wait for ul

[steel parcel]

odds are 1 in 216

[flint wind]

ooo
only thing is i need 200 shelmet candy now and accelgor sorta sucks

[steel parcel]

i would just transfer it to home and train it in swsh since hundo accelgor isn't super useful in pogo

or keep it as a baby hundo

[flint wind]

flexed the hundo glace

[steel parcel]

omggg just got hard countered in gbl but then they top lefted on me

like bb what is you even doing

i almost thought abt quitting but i'm too stubborn

[flint wind]

lmao i beat a double steel team with anine and hypno
politoed for the clutch!

[steel parcel]

they had a-wak vs my medicham like ???

why would you quit that

[flint wind]

yea

[steel parcel]

i'm not complaining but yikes

and they took out my azu too! like seriously

[flint wind]

im runnin tpunch hypno so the team actually works against azu

[steel parcel]

another battle won with less than 2hp left

[flint wind]

i feel ya battles get down to using a charge attack at the last hp and somehow winnin

[steel parcel]

sometimes i wonder if i'm good at pvp or if the other guy is bad or if i'm just insanely lucky

[flint wind]

tru tru tru

[steel parcel]

big questions

[flint wind]

i try to do big brain stuff like swapping and it usually works
so am i big brain?

[steel parcel]

you may be big brain

idk why but after a while i stop seeing female avatars in pvp

although i just went up against asianthotty lol

[flint wind]

[steel parcel]

she was rocking the pika libra crop top and pika fan short shorts and it was WORKING

unfortunately her team was not

[flint wind]

oh no how bad was it

[steel parcel]

it was a good team, medi/basti/sableye

[flint wind]

interestaurante

[steel parcel]

just didn't line up well for her against my jelli/medi/azu

[flint wind]

lmaoooooooo 3 hard counters
was the medi running tpunch or not

[steel parcel]

medicham can learn thunder punch? that's news to me

nah i have counter + ice punch/pup

[flint wind]

wait it cant i dont know im assuming

[steel parcel]

poor basti never stood a chance

[flint wind]

logic is that if it could learn how to punch with ice shouldnt it learn to punch w/thunder? lemme look it up

[steel parcel]

facts

asianthotty if you're on here, i want to be your friend!

i mean who wouldn't amirite

[flint wind]

oh it cant
where logic
pokemon go says that medicham cannot punch well enough

[steel parcel]

poor medi, crippled by pogo logic

going to work for a bit. good luck on your matches today! stay out of the 2100s!

[flint wind]

it can learn it in the games btw lmao

dont get too bored at work

[analog steeple]

Coming for ya

Been seeing a LOT of double steel at the moment

Getting closer and closer to vig safe swap but not sure how I’d handle the medi/basti/sableye team without charmer azu

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel been a good day today, managed too hit 155 hoppip candy and 377/400 magikarp candy 🙂

[rotund copper]

TIL southern Florida is a gold mine for Regionals

Southern Florida has:

Panpour
Maractus
Illumise
Taurus
Heracross
Corsola
Carnivine
Seviper
Throh
Durant
Lunatone

[inland moss]

I swear this game hates me and it’s lying lol

I’m trying too open a gift and it says my items are full haha I just removed a bunch of stuff and your still tell me this your funny

That was so stupid too deal with

[steel parcel]

@fluid eagle hey idk if you know but shiny g-slowpoke isn’t available yet

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel yeah i guessed but dw ive been stacking good ones and candy too evolve so its all good

when it does come ill be ready

but nearly got a good jumpluff ready so its all good

[steel parcel]

is a rank 1 blaziken good for anything in gl? feel like there’s too much azu around

[tight pilot]

I think i used one on my alts team way back in the day bc i happened to have one under 1500, counter & Blast Burn, it wasnt great but the fighting fast move def confused some ppl and kinda worked lolol

[lucid frigate]

Spice and nothing more tbh

[fluid eagle]

theres definately better spice picks

[lucid frigate]

Like a shiny zapdos that gave me a fat L earlier

[radiant vigil]

I'd probs spend too long examining the zapdos to see how it's even shiny

[lucid frigate]

I mean, the sparkles gives it away

[radiant vigil]

If I blinked the moment it sparkled I wouldn't realise it was shiny

[lucid frigate]

True tbh

[fossil basin]

i somehow still need to catch 7 more ghost types for mew quest

[radiant vigil]

good luck, current event hasn't been nice for ghosts xD

[fossil basin]

yeah i hope next com day has something to do with ghost types

[radiant vigil]

duskull could be viable

[fossil basin]

yeah.

[radiant vigil]

Don't have any in go either

[fossil basin]

ive found a few through rocker grunts

[radiant vigil]

I have been so ceebs with rockets lately

[fossil basin]

Man I need to catch more Pokémon on my alt lol for stardust

[radiant vigil]

I need exp

[fossil basin]

haha

[lucid frigate]

Starting elo for season 8

[fossil basin]

well good luck

im too lazy to do league

[radiant vigil]

Why is the win streak blanked out

[analog steeple]

Got a beautiful matchup. A shadow nidoqueen swap into magnesium turned into a tropius farm down

Got to rack up three charge moves

[queen crest]

Anyone down to trade a machoke for a machoke?

[analog steeple]

Trade distance is 100meters

[queen crest]

Mmmm

[analog steeple]

Would do better finding a local server

[queen crest]

Ok

[analog steeple]

Or lucking into having someone here

[queen crest]

Didn't know that

[analog steeple]

Ah yeah no worries

I think folks are used to swsh trading

[queen crest]

Yep

[unique hazel]

I'm so happy last year's and this year's go fest isn't locked to specific areas, because now I can actually participate

[radiant vigil]

anything not area specific is great

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[valid sentinel]

@rare stump hi, you're DennyDen right? We go best today, I haven't got any gifts atm, stuck at home with broken leg and buddy ain't bringing anything 🤣 I'll aim to send you the last one, only got 1 lucky egg 🤷‍♂️

[fluid eagle]

@radiant vigil bro 377/400 magikaep candy towards mew quest

[radiant vigil]

so close!

[fluid eagle]

the amount of effort and rare candys this has taken

the damn mew better have decent stats

[radiant vigil]

Have you seen the pages coming after

[unique hazel]

Mew quest? Flashback to catch a ditto

[radiant vigil]

Shiny mew quest..the catch 30 of each type quest

[unique hazel]

I still got fighting, dark, ice and ghost left on it, but only lvl36 so im not stressing so much with it as i know i have to get to lvl 40

been wanting to do some timburr raids, so i also can progress a little on it, but only grimer raids have spawned here when it has been 1stars

[fluid eagle]

@unique hazel ive had 2 catch 2 seperate dittos so far on 2 diff accs

cause one quest wasnt at the ditto stage then i caught it moved on and there it was again

[vestal hollow]

still need to find a damn ditto for both meltan + mew quests 😭

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel that moment when ur friends online to play games so u forget to do your pvp XD

[steel parcel]

me, an intellectual: i have no friends

[charred rapids]

Me, a dumbass: neither do I

[primal sluice]

just random online people that i never met but we just play games all the time XD

[analog steeple]

Was hoping to hit 2200s before UL where I tend to do better

Whiffed and am now 1956 :/ it’s a rough life man

[stuck schooner]

Bruh

[real sphinx]

Anyone have a galar slowpoke raid?

[copper moth]

Should I put an incense on for this 2x candy?

[valid sentinel]

Got a slowpoke here if anyone is interested, posted in raids as well.

[toxic prawn]

It's possible to spoof in android?

[charred rapids]

We don’t talk about that shit here, spoofing yucky

[toxic prawn]

Didn't knew, mb.

[vestal hollow]

question, would it be worth evolving into a Slowbro or slowking?

[valid sentinel]

Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 3410 9462 7972!

[timber shadow]

I hate regirock it keeps on escaping on me

[valid sentinel]

@vestal hollow I wouldn't evolve one with such low CP, too much dust to level up later 🤷‍♂️

[vestal hollow]

Fair enough

All the ones I've found so far are not the greatest

[jade ice]

Who is dragonlizrd?

They sent a friend request on pogo

[modern nymph]

Same who is he?

[hardy minnow]

When does the regies stop being in raids?

[jade ice]

I deleted him

Off the friend list

[vestal hollow]

I think on the 17th?? don't quote me on that though

[hardy minnow]

I was thinking around then ty @vestal hollow

[crisp relic]

Zachary L has given 1 'General Rep' to tramz.

[vestal hollow]

No problem

Reminding me that I have until then to keep hunting regirock shiny

[steady arch]

can someone help me i´m trying to figure out why the last 3 mossy lure modules didn´t gave me any eggxecute for the meltanquestline

[sleek quarry]

That's just got to be bad luck with the lures. There's like 13 mons in the pool. You'd think you'd get some exeggcute

[lucid frigate]

I barely do raids either 👌

[vestal hollow]

still haven't gotten regirock shiny 😔

shelled out and bought remote passes too so hopefully it shines soon

[charred rapids]

can anyone help me build an ul team? i have venusaur, swampert, scizor, golem, gengar, typhlosion, blastoise

[analog steeple]

Venosaur/swampert is a nice pair

Between what you have id do those two and maybe gengar or scizor?

Venosaur is a good lead with a bunch of swamperts running around. Swampert is a grade A pain in UL

Could also go venosaur / blastoise/swampert if you wanna run ABB

[steel parcel]

typhlosion w/ solar beam always catches me off guard so i’d run that with venu/swampert. i love going up against evolved starter teams

assuming you have legacy moves on all of them

[fluid eagle]

@steel parcel @radiant vigil hit 400 magi candys today and got a 1440 gyarados

[radiant vigil]

yay

[fluid eagle]

last stage of mew research and unlocked quetsline 'a ripple in time'

[radiant vigil]

Ahhhh celebi!

[fluid eagle]

more exp/items is how i look at it

but itll be nice to get the pokes

[radiant vigil]

Yeah can only get one of them so look after them

[fluid eagle]

yeah i hope my mews good since its top 25 for ul

[radiant vigil]

I took my mew on a photo your around Japan before catching it and that's literally all i ever did with it

[steel parcel]

that’s adorable as heck wtf

[analog steeple]

Yo wtf why’s that so damn cute

[radiant vigil]

At the time it was the first mythical released so a lot of us did something similar cos you can keep reloading the encounter

[analog steeple]

I’m a returning player I’ve got nothin

[fluid eagle]

im excited to get mew tbh

[radiant vigil]

This one is probs my favorite ,cos of the shit photo quality hard to make it look good, wanted a mew against thr cherry blossoms

Oh there's one of me trying to pat the mew too in a zen garden

Oooh this one turned out nice too. whereas for shiny mew i just caught it on a train platform lol

[fossil basin]

found a few ghost pokemon yesterday. 3 more to catch

[fluid eagle]

@fossil basin bro what stage of the mew are you on?

[fossil basin]

5/8

[fluid eagle]

omfg i feel sorry for you

[fossil basin]

i just started playing again few weeks ago

[fluid eagle]

i finally just hit 7/8

6/8 reqs you to evolve a magikarp

[fossil basin]

yeah i know the gyarados thing

[fluid eagle]

atleats magikarp is 1 candy = 1km walk

[fossil basin]

ive got about 40 magikarp candy. welp 360 more to go

[fluid eagle]

luckily i had 187 stored before seeing it then last 2 weeks ive been going ahrd on it

[fossil basin]

if there is a magikarp event happening soon (i hope so) i realy have to step it up lol

[fluid eagle]

actually

mega slowbro is getting swapped for mega gyarados this month @fossil basin

[fossil basin]

wow really?

do you get candy after defeating it?

[tight pilot]

Will get 10 for catching Gyarados (20 with Pinap berry) so it’d be a slowish grind but could be done

Plus you’ll staaaack Mega Gyarados candy

[fossil basin]

never did any mega raids so im not sure lol

[tight pilot]

Oh yeah you get to catch the pokemon (in normal form like not mega form ofc) after and you get mega energy depending how fast you beat the raid :).

[fossil basin]

the problem is i dont think i can do i alone lol

[tight pilot]

Oh god no! But you may find some others here that want / I can host a few for ya if I know you’re hunting I just ping whenever i get one

[fossil basin]

and raid passes

remote

well there is agym near me where i live so ill notfiy if gyara happens lol

[fluid eagle]

is the raid on 16th still a mystery?

[fossil basin]

??

oh im not sure lol

[analog steeple]

Im hoping it’s regigigigifigigias

[steel parcel]

my mom sent me a new sundress and i was so excited to wear it out that i forgot to do my daily raid oops

and my 5 sets lol

#justgirlythings

[steel parcel]

regigiggity

[vestal hollow]

wasn't regigigas only available as an ex raid boss?? if so i hope that the raid on the 16th is gigas

[analog steeple]

Yup. Before my time so I’m hoping the same

[vestal hollow]

honestly i don't see why it wouldn't be gigas considering they brought back the other regis

would be kinda weird to bring back rock ice and steel but not gigas

[fossil basin]

gah its so hard to get 5 great curve balls throws in a row

[tight pilot]

Get a smeargle photo bomb & use quick catching ^ even if you’ve caught it it wont despawn unless you reload app / dont quick catch it lol

[fossil basin]

quick catching?

[tight pilot]

Take one of you’re fingers and grab either the ball icon or berry icon, it’ll move slightly to the left / right (toward the middle of the screen), hold it there then with another finger throw the ball, once thrown you can let go & the “run” icon will still be in the top left so you can run then check to see if its caught !

Sorry for the quick video didnt wanna make the file too big bc discord lolol

[steep oriole]

Someone at Niantic heard that I like mudkips and let a perfect one spawn for me.

They also let a Galarian Slowpoke raid spawn for me during the final hour of the event.

Spent the entire event trying to get one because I wanted the shirt.

[radiant vigil]

I'm sad event has ended, bye easy excellent throws

[fossil basin]

have to do the 5 great curve throws now

[radiant vigil]

In a row? Usually i nanab to help with streak

[fossil basin]

yes but i suck at aiming at the rings

[fossil basin]

i got a 3 chain one missed

[tight pilot]

PSA for free stuffs

[analog steeple]

Yo wtf I wanna move to Russia

[fossil basin]

i keep breaking the 5 chain

[tight pilot]

Apparently it works regardless! Just have to review atleast 1 submission from Russia! (You can change location in settings, it says you can only set it once but you can actually change multiple times lol it just lies)

[fossil basin]

i cant do te 5 chain

i keep losing it at 3

[analog steeple]

[tight pilot]

Just review a couple from russia and leave your location there until june 18th and apparently it should work according to silphroad

[analog steeple]

How uh. How do I review stuff lol

[fossil basin]

i just cant do it

[tight pilot]

Wayfarer.nianticlabs .com, then just log in and you should see something like this (may need to sign up if you have never done it yet but super ez)

[steel parcel]

once you enter the catch screen, turn on airplane mode and throw; if it’s not a great then close the app, turn off airplane mode and repeat. i don’t have any trouble getting 4 in a row but sometimes i’ll do this on the 5th throw

[fossil basin]

okay! will do that next time

[steel parcel]

you got this

[fossil basin]

i just want spindaaa

do i immdiately turn the wifi back on if its a great throw?

@steel parcel thanks! it worked

[crisp relic]

DubiousDelphine has given 1 'General Rep' to qt.

[steel parcel]

nice!

[radiant vigil]

I do this for 3 excellent throw in a row

Now wayfarer has random Russian text tho LOL

[charred rapids]

I think it reads “I once fought a bear with nothing but a toothpick, then me, my comrades and the bear went out to get some vodka”.

Just a rough translation

[radiant vigil]

It's actually not as funny when you put it into Google translate

So we'll pretend that's the actual translation

[charred rapids]

Hey man, I’m a reliable source, you don’t need google

[radiant vigil]

Only took 4 nominations to get the Russian nomination so not too hard

[radiant vigil]

Yeah you're right don't need Google translate

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

time to get so much magikarp candy though gyarados (mega)

soon

[radiant vigil]

Luckily it's an easy one to walk or cheese with adventure sync

[steel parcel]

pinap’d a pidgeot and got 40 candy! does the candy bonus apply to evolved forms caught in the wild or is this the standard amount?

i usually quick catch so i never see how much candy i get

[fossil basin]

can we at least get 40 candy a day if you do mega raid x 2 + pinap x2 the raid pokemon

[analog steeple]

Evolved forms already have an extra candy bonus + the 2x candy event going on. Got 40 for every vigoroth I caught with pinap

[steel parcel]

zoo wee mama

[analog steeple]

This is the time to do slaking raids for vigoroth enthusiasts like me lol

[lucid frigate]

You haven’t joined the vigoroth gang yet?

[analog steeple]

I have a few high rank ones. Just haven’t pulled the trigger on build

[fossil basin]

im curious how do you exactly get pokecoins? i know you get them from pokemon in your gyms but if your pokemon is still in a gym. can you get pokecoins?

[stable sequoia]

You can either buy pokecoins or wait until pokemon is defeated

[radiant vigil]

When your Pokemon is knocked out from a gym

But 50 coins per day now

[fossil basin]

thanks!

Well I feel like walking to the gyms since it’s okay to go outside. At night I may use remote pass. Got to be prepared for mega gyarados. If people want that is.

Also feel free to ping me when that mega gyarados raids appear. I still need to evolve magikarp for mew quest

[radiant vigil]

Gyms motivate me to go outside

[fossil basin]

I can see now.

but hey the restrictions are down for now. So might as well take the opportunity and roll with it

[radiant vigil]

Hopefully shit doesn't blow up again

[fossil basin]

also to ask when is the server most active with raid requests?

[radiant vigil]

Usually when a new boss comes out lol

[fossil basin]

will mega gyarados count lol

[sleek quarry]

Maybe the first day or so when it comes back

[fossil basin]

well a mega slowbro just popped up lol

[radiant vigil]

Megas aren't very popular xD

[fossil basin]

i know lol.

i just want magikarp candy for mew quest

and battle in 10 raids

[radiant vigil]

Luckily 10 raids can be anything

[fossil basin]

yeah.

still need to do a mega raid for "mega discovery" lol

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

and there the meltan quest, but im too lazy to do it cause i already caught so many meltan lol

[radiant vigil]

Yeah i don't need more of those things xD release the shiny again then I'll do more lol

[fossil basin]

now i need 2 more ghost types. geezs

guess ill just use a inceses at night ,lol

[analog steeple]

My town is pretty dead at the moment with regi raids since everyone has done so many so I’ve been using poke genies in app raid system. Super good experiences with it

I highly recommend it if the server here stays dead during megas @fossil basin

But yeah like Milli said megas aren’t very popular here

[fossil basin]

so what do you suggest?

just repeat for me please

[analog steeple]

The app Poke Genie has a built in system for raiding now. I recommend it if you really have your heart set on raiding megas but aren’t getting traffic here

[fossil basin]

do i need to use remote passes?

[radiant vigil]

Yea

Unless you host and go in person

There'd also a big remote raiding discord that's pretty busy

Always have people going after legendaries there at least

[fossil basin]

alright

[radiant vigil]

Don't think i can link but should be easy enough to search for

[fossil basin]

dm me if you like :)

[analog steeple]

You can always dm the invite haha

[radiant vigil]

True

[analog steeple]

But yeah been using poke genie On my alt and it’s been great

Milli might have to take that server invite also

[radiant vigil]

[analog steeple]

Wanna get another Registeel but have no traffic for it

Most of the folks I know already have one

[radiant vigil]

Yeah me included xD i need to save coins now

[fossil basin]

none are where i am

poke genie doesnt want to download on my phone

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

New raid boss soon, who knows what it is, ya don’t wanna be out of coins and passes because ya raided too many regi

And it ends up being like a new legendary or shiny debut

[fossil basin]

lock down is over for now. so i might head out to share raids XD

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

Still think it'll be regigigas xD

Yes go out

[charred rapids]

Shiny gigas would be cool, not useful but cool

[fossil basin]

to flex. yes

[radiant vigil]

Lol i reckon it'll be normal one cos it was only out in ex raids haha

[fossil basin]

and pokegenie still doesnt want to download

[radiant vigil]

You have ios?

[analog steeple]

Im thinking it’ll be gigahagagaha so I’m saving some coins for more raids if that ends up being the case

[fossil basin]

yes ios.

[analog steeple]

Weird. You have internet?

[charred rapids]

If it’s not shiny I’ll probably do a couple, already got dat phat hundo

[fossil basin]

how am i chatting with you guys now?

welp i may have to use data for this

[analog steeple]

Bruh you ain’t gotta get sassy, ain’t my fault your internet is potato

[radiant vigil]

Australian Internet is potato

[fossil basin]

welp i may have deleted pogo...

[radiant vigil]

But yeah the usual either swap Internet, restart phone or check there aren't a lot of apps downloading rn?

[fossil basin]

i have restarted my phone for at least 2 times

okay its working

yeah pokegenie just doesnt want to download

[analog steeple]

Odd

[fossil basin]

i checked my phone is compatoble

[radiant vigil]

Which phone?

[fossil basin]

the one i play with pogo with

[radiant vigil]

I mean like iPhone 11 or something? Wouldn't be surprised if on older models it's a bit poop

Pogo is messed up on my 7

[fossil basin]

ah yes its iphone 6s...

it still works wonders on my phone lol

[radiant vigil]

Oh wow yeah

Every time i run pogo on my 7 i need to force logout then login else it won't load

[fossil basin]

guess pokegenie hates iphone 6 +6s haha

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

which sucks

[radiant vigil]

I'm actually suprised that it is supported xD

[fossil basin]

huh?

oh haha

[radiant vigil]

yeah, the 6 isn't going to be supported much longer i suspect. I struggle hard on the 7 so idk how you run it on the 6 😂

[fossil basin]

do i have to seriously stay up so late for ghost pokemon

[radiant vigil]

not that late yet 😛

[fossil basin]

like 12am

i see a frillish but thats too far away

[radiant vigil]

yeah im up too late

[charred rapids]

Two more bloody days of spinning a stop 14 days in a row, how annoying

[radiant vigil]

oh you're on that quest too only on day 8 haha

[fossil basin]

just caught a non shiny shadow aron. its still looks like the shiny version due to the eyes lol

[charred rapids]

Yeah that quest is annoying the heck out of me

Still need 50 normal types too

[radiant vigil]

lol don't talk to me about the normal types

[charred rapids]

[fossil basin]

nooo

[charred rapids]

What?

[fossil basin]

sorry i thought of something stupud

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

you're way ahead on that haha

[fossil basin]

oh no. i have to do that?

[charred rapids]

Not until you’re level 48

So you have awhile yet

[radiant vigil]

yeah don't worry about it, and to get to that page took agessss

i really took my time with the 14 rocket leaders lol

[charred rapids]

This Axew encounter better be worth it

[fossil basin]

is it me or non shiny shadow aron looks like shiny aron.

[radiant vigil]

it looks like angry shiny aron

[fossil basin]

angy shiny aron

im curious, do you have to be in a certain league rank to catch legendaries?

[charred rapids]

20

[fossil basin]

just lv 20?

20+?

[charred rapids]

League rank? Yeah

[radiant vigil]

20 is a long grind lol

[fossil basin]

i actually need to ask cause my alt has a groudon lol

from 2016 i think

[charred rapids]

And then you’ll have to get the 3 wins at that rank which can be actually be difficult, you’re up against players that know what they’re doing at that stage

Would of been from like 2018, 2016 is when the game started, Groudon wouldn’t be around for awhile

[fossil basin]

though im not looking to get legendaries lol

yeah i think it was 2018. i forgot i need to check lol

yeah its from 2018

[radiant vigil]

gbl wasn't around in 2018 either XD you would've gotten that from a raid

[fossil basin]

makes sense

[fossil basin]

it seems i see shines when i use incesecse

[radiant vigil]

I'm seeing some ghost types out rn on my walk too

[fossil basin]

lol

i found one using an insecence + a shiny lol

[fluid eagle]

morning

millia i unlock meltan and celebi quest now

nearly done mew just catching 50 pokes currently for it

[fossil basin]

just need 1 more ghost type

[radiant vigil]

Oooh good luck to you both

Way more ghosts now that slowpoke is gone

[fossil basin]

why does it seem i get shines when i use incesences

[radiant vigil]

Isn't that a good thing? More shinies!

[fossil basin]

i caught a shiny cat lol

[radiant vigil]

Glameow?

[charred rapids]

[fossil basin]

meowth

[radiant vigil]

Oh lol red feet

ay birb party

[fossil basin]

welp found my last ghost a gastly

[radiant vigil]

[fluid eagle]

ghastlys 0p

one of my hundos is a gengar

[fossil basin]

i just needed to do the mew quest lol

[fluid eagle]

same im on 7/8 and last task in there for me currently is 37/50 catch pokemon with a berrie

[fossil basin]

im up to the karp quest.

lol found another ghost

welp perfect timing with mega gyarados + 10 raids. whew

[vestal hollow]

I'm still stuck on catch a ditto and catch 10 ghosts lol

but I'll be doing a lot of mega Gyarados raids I'm sure

[fossil basin]

i was so lucky with a incesense and ditto went hello!

from a gulpin

[vestal hollow]

Yeah I've been catching a lot of the pokemon ik can be ditto w/ no luck

hell I've been going out a lot lately and still haven't found one it's discouraging 😔

[radiant vigil]

i can catch a few hundred a day and still not see ditto XD

think event spawns make it difficult

[vestal hollow]

Yeah definitely

[fossil basin]

i use incense to help lol

websites online say use insense + lure at the same time

i think i got it from the incese remaining from gible com day

[charred rapids]

ye all of them have legacy

[vestal hollow]

Ooh I never thought abt that. Usually I pop an incense on comm days and use lures whenever I'm out at places like the library (2 gyms and 3 stops all located there which is convenient) but whenever I go out again I'll try it

[fluid eagle]

aye mew research complete

just gotta be bothered to catch him now 🙂

[analog steeple]

Dumb question but is that mini event thing over with all the slakoth spawns?

Best I ended up with was a rank 21

[flint wind]

i think so
it doesnt show in events for me

[analog steeple]

Rip. Welp better than nothing

[flint wind]

i got a caterpie and a spoink
sadly not a pink sloth nor a slowpoke

[analog steeple]

Spoink is cool as hell though

[flint wind]

yea not gonna evo that boi

[analog steeple]

I managed to snag 2 of those

[fluid eagle]

@analog steeple hey man can i get your friend code? got add 3 new friends for a research

[flint wind]

you can use #pogo_friend_codes

[analog steeple]

Oh yeah I gotchu

I’ll drop it in there

[vestal hollow]

i have 2 vigoroth would it be worth it to evolve one into slaking since I don't see anymore sloths spawning soon

[flint wind]

slaking sorta sucks just so you know

[charred rapids]

[flint wind]

[analog steeple]

Why do you hurt me like this @charred rapids

[charred rapids]

You know I don’t hurt you intentionally little Cho

[radiant vigil]

oooh nice slakoth

[fluid eagle]

i got a 99.74% vigoroth 🙂

gonna be a nice lil neutral poke in gbl

[flint wind]

once i get another bunnelby candy i might run rank 4 digger

[fluid eagle]

digger nb from what ive seen

fir4e punch bait and earthquake i think

[charred rapids]

Yeeee diggers is decent

[lucid frigate]

Rank 21 is amazing wdym

[zinc narwhal]

If a pokemon was at a pokestop far away from me(I saw it in the maps where you see the raids) and as I was driving there it was not on the maps anymore, can I still catch it...(I was biking)

Kinda dumb question but it was a Charizard so I'm hoping I can still catch it

[analog steeple]

The rank 4 swampert spoiled me lol

[fluid eagle]

@zinc narwhal probs moved on when they appear on the corner i think there normally 30 mins its there for

[zinc narwhal]

Ok... If I put a lure module on it is there a chance that it will come back or nah

[fluid eagle]

no, i believe lures work like incense tbh bro

30 mins where random pokemon appear

you can double up incense+lure for extra effect

and dont worry ive sene tonnes of bulbs/squirts/charmanders last few days keep eye out you might get the candy to evolve one of your own

[zinc narwhal]

Ok thanks!

[vestal hollow]

yeah i've seen a lot of starter spawns lately so you could probably do lure +incense and then whenever you find a charmander or something just pinap before catching to up the candies you get?

i've seen a lot of final evo starter spawns though, i got blaziken the other day and saw venusaur as well so maybe another zard will spawn

[fluid eagle]

i got a charizard and blastoise rando spawn last night

happens just keep goijg and theyll rando appear

[gilded rune]

Is there supposed to be a ton of Kanto starters rn

[vestal hollow]

its more than just kanto afaik

both hoenn and kanto from what i've seen

[gilded rune]

Yeah them too

Alr

[vestal hollow]

as for if they're supposed to be here idk

there's just been a surplus of fully evolved pokemon spawns lately too

[gilded rune]

Yeah I saw a Charizard and Wartortle in the wild

[vestal hollow]

i caught a blaziken (terrible stats but fine for personal use ig) and i've seen sceptile and venusaur spawns nearby as well

[charred rapids]

Pretty cool since zard, venu and blast can be shiny in the wild

[vestal hollow]

if it wasn't super hot out i'd be going out to find zard and venu 😭

[fluid eagle]

im just making a joint for a nice lil 6pm walk tbh

[vestal hollow]

it's been ~112 F lately so i've hardly been leaving the house unless i'm running errands or leaving past 7-8 pm

[analog steeple]

I walked like 100km for my swampert just to see it spawning again lol

[charred rapids]

Man 2 days for a new event and we still don’t have too much info on it

They keepin these real hush hush huh

[vestal hollow]

what DO we know about it besides mega gary raids

[flint wind]

starters event when

[fluid eagle]

ngl lil pissed about the mega garys

they come just i complete 400 candy for the evolve lul

[vestal hollow]

i am not getting karp spawns nearby so i kinda appreciate the gary raids

[fluid eagle]

i dont get em

i get 1-2 every few days

had too use 60+ rare candys from gbl for it

[charred rapids]

We have nothing on the solstice event, usually we have the spawns, the possible new shiny and all by now

And the next legendary raids? Still no clue

[flint wind]

just let it be mr mime

[fluid eagle]

mr rime]

[flint wind]

mr mime should be the legendary raid

[charred rapids]

Eh I got the shiny I’m good

[flint wind]

shiny galar mr mime 👀

[vestal hollow]

im hoping for gigas but knowing my luck it won't be gigas

[charred rapids]

Gigas is actually a pretty decent possibility actually.

[fluid eagle]

i bet its gonna be suomething that catches you right off guard

there 2

[flint wind]

im sus of zygarde comn

[fluid eagle]

best idea i seen was regis

[charred rapids]

Probably the two regi’s from gen 8

[fluid eagle]

since they realeased 3 and their

[flint wind]

ooooo eleki and drago would be cool

[vestal hollow]

maybe a mixture of gigas drago and leki??

[fluid eagle]

just switches of the originals like the other galarian types they realeased they poke

thats copy of a past

[charred rapids]

Who knows we will see in like two days

[fluid eagle]

eleki 0p i hope its him hes my fav

right off on journey gl

[charred rapids]

Probably bring back something trash like cresselia

[flint wind]

eleki gonna suck in pogo tho

tbh id be fine with crogale

[vestal hollow]

they've been pretty quiet abt everything so we'll see soon 👀

[flint wind]

ooh they might do solga and lunala

[charred rapids]

Yeah they have that’s my point, usually the info is leaked a week beforehand, they been real quiet and it’s only two days away

Best be good

[flint wind]

might have cosmog as a wild mon and you have to evo it

[charred rapids]

Gen 7 legends too soon

We just had Xerneas and Yveltal

[flint wind]

o tru

[vestal hollow]

isn't gofest bringing meloetta next month too?

[charred rapids]

Yes

Special research for it

cough should of been shaymin.

[flint wind]

shaymin my boi

[vestal hollow]

shaymin would have been cool

[charred rapids]

Definitely would of preferred it
