[slow warren]

ah right you have to buy remote passses

[radiant vigil]

Yeah, or premiums if you like going to gyms in person

But rn remotes are usually cheaper than premiums unless there's a really good bundle

[slow warren]

What do premiums do? Just allows you to get into a single raid or

[radiant vigil]

Let's you raid like a remote, but you need to physically be at the gym

Whereas remote you can raid from anywhere

Also can use premium passes for gbl

[slow warren]

oh I see, remote is usually better innit

[radiant vigil]

Remote is way better rn

Assuming they don't nerf it... Niantic always intended to reduce the damage done by remote raiders at some point

[charred rapids]

its chewsday innit

[slow warren]

I see ill save er up for it then

[charred rapids]

would you like a bohttlowotta

lmao yo the bri'ish memes be cracking me up

[radiant vigil]

XD

[charred rapids]

bro homie got a whole pentagram pfp

Why you do him like YG

lmao bro in the chat trying to summon spirits and shit

Can we just remember that Americans call them gas stations, when it’s petrol….

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Giddy up fellas, I’m travellin about eagle per freedom yee haw

[charred rapids]

shiny omanyte

litty

[uncut trail]

42 more XLs

[charred rapids]

big pog

[uncut trail]

gotta hustle for that level 50 dialga

[radiant vigil]

dedication to the grind

[charred rapids]

yo i dead ass need that shiny kabuto and aerodactyl in pogo so i dont have to hunt them in lets go, then i need shiny zapdos and articuno to finish my shiny lets go dex

not a fan of doing resets so pogo been super clutch

[radiant vigil]

aero luckily has perma boosted rate in pogo so worth the hunt

[charred rapids]

its in raids right now?

[radiant vigil]

here i am rn hunting shiny voltorb in let's go

[radiant vigil]

yeah

[charred rapids]

BET! ima drop a smooth 40$ and raid until i get one

[radiant vigil]

although if you have swsh might be easier to get there lol

[charred rapids]

doing raids in swsh yuck

[radiant vigil]

cos also fossil event rn

[charred rapids]

when does that even end

because if its easier i might just do it on swsh

[radiant vigil]

25th

pretty sure someone would be hosting shiny aero

[charred rapids]

hmm might be something to consider

sad because this is actually my second time doing a shiny dex in lets go

during the corona outbreak i had to sell my switch right before pokemon home came out

[radiant vigil]

nooooo

i couldn't imagine restarting

[charred rapids]

there is no ammount of words to describe how painful it was

i remember first day back it took my 4 literal days to get shiny charmander

[radiant vigil]

and can't even save game files to nintendo switch online either sigh

[charred rapids]

thats not even the half though, since im a certified competitive pokemon sweat lord, i got the full shiny dex all perfect natures and chained over 4000 chansey to get them all to level 100

i still wonder if who ever bought my game even looked at the save file

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

or if they just reset the whole thing

[radiant vigil]

did they even play pokemon

[charred rapids]

idk i pawned it, so someone idk bought it

[radiant vigil]

so could easily be someone who had no idea what pokemon save file was there omg

[charred rapids]

lmao yup

super tragic stuff

[radiant vigil]

oh no

[charred rapids]

i know that it was a little kid who got it though

because my switch account had another user lmao

[radiant vigil]

oh lol

[charred rapids]

i cant remember the name though, but apparently the pawn shop didnt even bother removing my account

i saw i had like 500 hours of some game i never played

[radiant vigil]

yeah it sounds like they just sold as it lol

[charred rapids]

i remember it took me literally 7 days to get a single shiny polywag

the pain

[radiant vigil]

you have way more patience than i do

me staring at these red balls for a few hours

[charred rapids]

lmao yeah the power plant is painful

[radiant vigil]

i've gotten shinies there, just not what i wanted lol

[charred rapids]

how is your shiny dex coming?

[radiant vigil]

need 6 more for kanto

[charred rapids]

speaking of shiny voltorb

lmao

[radiant vigil]

maybe i should leave pogo open in case shiny voltorb lol

[radiant vigil]

hahaha i figured

noice

[charred rapids]

you jynxed me, i needed a kabuto

:v

[radiant vigil]

can also get kabuto from swsh raid event rn 😛

ah there is a kabuto/aero shiny rate active rn in #swsh_max_raids haha

[charred rapids]

ok bet im going to look into it rn

are they host charging people

[radiant vigil]

nah all free

just add them, do some raids, delete once done

detailed on the pinned post

[charred rapids]

millia you the goat lmao i wouldnt have even known

kind of feels weird just getting free shinies though through raids like that idk

[radiant vigil]

lol that was me, then a few hundred hours later i got every single shiny that was den catchable

can be a bit difficult if there's a rolling den and what you want is a 15% chance only on 3* cos it might be rolling for an hour and you still don't see it XD

[slow warren]

Got a shiny onix from the unlock for time reward page 5 is it a guaranteed shiny?

[radiant vigil]

it's not, you're lucky!

[unique hazel]

I got shiny Magnemite from mine. Always a pleasant suprise when that happens

[slow warren]

Oh cool :D ty

[uncut trail]

almost at 296 XLs

[uncut trail]

5 XLs away

and last 4 passes

[uncut trail]

298 XLs now

[uncut trail]

92 raids (3 fled), 2 shinies

I might power this up fully if I can't find a better one by the end of the event

[radiant vigil]

wow xl collection done, but man so ripped off on the shiny rate tho

[tight pilot]

Sheeesh

[uncut trail]

ye

i will take a break for a bit

maybe get some dialgas from go battle league

maybe before event ends i may try again

there's so much time left, i just wanted to get the hardcore part out

and i caught almost all of them except 3

[steel parcel]

some construction started and my lte isn’t working so gbl is going to be my only source of stardust for a few days

[young bolt]

Can u get shinys from ultra unlock

[analog steeple]

Yup

[slim cosmos]

Why so many

[analog steeple]

Wynaut

[tight pilot]

For shiny / XL candy / chance for hundo or shundo

[thorny harbor]

hello

[tight pilot]

Chello

[thorny harbor]

How's everyone?

[twilit sapphire]

sleepy

[uncut trail]

i might go for a few more

maybe, just maybe

[charred rapids]

shiny baltoy

lit lit

[lusty spoke]

hoopa was gen 6 phew i wasnt going crazy

[flint wind]

what was the optimal spread for ec ducklett? just got a 0 14 15 yesterday

[tight pilot]

Honestly with elemental cup being a rareity and iv spreads dont make the worlds biggest difference at that low of cp its mostly about having the matchup W or atleast neutralizing the matchup! Wouldnt waste a ton of resources and just take your best one that can sit closest to 500cp

[flint wind]

ty!

[crisp relic]

||Once again, not a feebas|| has given 1 'General Rep' to MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor.

[tight pilot]

Cant seem to find anything for iv chart for elemental cup but yeah

[steel parcel]

my rank 1 is 0/15/15, maxes at cp498

[rotund copper]

What a beautiful Gym name

[flint wind]

amazing

[serene linden]

The fun is beginning

[late edge]

What quest is that?

[rotund copper]

Pain

But the reward is Shiny Mew

You had to buy a ticket during Kanto tour to get the research

[tight pilot]

There you go, someone that actually know what theyre talking about in todays day of pvp

[steel parcel]

lol idk if i know what i’m talking about all the time, 50% of the matches i won today i was like, huh thought i would lose that for sure

[analog steeple]

Lost a matchup today to a veteran cause my game lagged. Was so mad. Just needed one fast move

[steel parcel]

i feel worse winning against a veteran in the 2300s than an ace at the same elo lol

i’m just trying to go 3-2 on all my sets so i climb slowly. when i’m lucky and climb 120-160 pts in a day i’m likely to lose at least half of that the next day bc i’m outmatched

[analog steeple]

Really? I feel so much better winning against vets lol

Feels like I got to play against the big bois

I’m trying to power up my stuff for UL remix. I’m 200 away from veteran

[steel parcel]

nah every time i go against a veteran i get really easy matchups and end up winning

so i just get lucky. doesn’t feel like a real win

[analog steeple]

Oh I wish we could switch lol

I get the guys pulling all the tricks. All the sack swaps, the baits, the sneaky fast moves

[steel parcel]

yeah i’m leading dewgong and all my veteran leads are shadow dragonite or shadow nido

playing aces is way more sweaty. lot of schamp leads. managed to win against most of the ones i ran into yesterday and today but it’s still sweaty lol

yep

knowing exactly how much dmg i take from each move helps a lot but damn this was a close one

[lusty spoke]

Yall

Is a blastoise soawn common

[flint wind]

my current team for remix is abomasnow (lead), jellicent, and noctowl. any suggestions for it?

[analog steeple]

Whatre you doing for obstagoon leads ?

[flint wind]

crying in corners

ive been switching between ariados and aboma tbh

with ariados team i lead with noctowl

[analog steeple]

Just depends what you’re seeing a lot of. I see a lot of goon leads so I keep zubat in as lead since it can beat goons

[flint wind]

i only have a shiny golbat and 300cp and barely any candy

and no stardust

would machamp fit on the team in any way?

[analog steeple]

Machamp is fantastic in this cup

[flint wind]

if only a charged tm event came up soon
need to free my hundo shadow machamp from its frustration grave

also stardust problems
again

[analog steeple]

For a shadow champ you want as close to low attack as you can to get more bulk

It’s already so glassy

[flint wind]

probably gonna use that one for raids

[analog steeple]

But yeah a machamp lead with snow and jelli in the back is great

[flint wind]

my only 2 0 15 15s that are low enough cp for great are digger and shadow politoed
digger is at 307 cp and poli is at 500
and the same problem strikes again, stinky stardust

[analog steeple]

Yeah shadows are expensive

[flint wind]

also poli banned

[steel parcel]

there’s only one day of gl left, i’d just play whatever you have close to 1500 and get through all your sets for the stardust

[analog steeple]

And then prepare for UL hellhole aka XL PvP

[flint wind]

also when i learned about pvp ivs i checked my previous toad it was in the #3900 area

i need to find a way to synergize with rank 1 glaceon

[steel parcel]

focus on ul and building stardust for the next round of gl. audino’s available in field research until the end of july, stack 100 for the next triple stardust event and you’ll get a nice 945k dust

[flint wind]

i would run my new hundo umbreon if i was level 40 or above
and stardust

[analog steeple]

Hundo umbreon

[flint wind]

its gonna be a fun one

[steel parcel]

try getting a lucky hundo from trading with a friend, saves a lot of dust

[analog steeple]

Get last resort on that bad bitch

[flint wind]

yea i need to

not gonna go for psychic

[analog steeple]

I’m probably gonna do psychic / last resort

[flint wind]

interesting

[steel parcel]

that’s definitely spicy

[flint wind]

will water pulse be any good for glaceon even tho pulse sucks so bad

rn running ice shard icy wind avalanche as a bait and nuke boi

[analog steeple]

You hardly ever get umbreon on a desired matchup. It’s almost always the safe swap blind throw

Might as well make the machamps sweat a bit on the lock

[steel parcel]

i’m debating whether to play the rest of my sets today or stay at 2401

[flint wind]

the other pokemon i need to work on maxing is hundo purified wobbuffet still with return

[steel parcel]

this is the highest i’ve ever gotten and i’m nervous lol

[flint wind]

ive heard those things are scary

[steel parcel]

i’m running wobb on my gl remix team!

[flint wind]

dont have any way to get even close to enough candy for one tho

[steel parcel]

there’s a lot of froslass, jellicent and mandibuzz in this cup so playing it is tricky but it’s a great pivot/safe swap

[flint wind]

i havent seen a mandibuzz in quite a while

[steel parcel]

really? i run into one at least 3-4 times every set

what’s your elo?

[flint wind]

only in the 2100s maybe thats why

[analog steeple]

That’s weird as hell

Things in at least half my matchups

[flint wind]

im glad it isnt mine

it makes me cry in a corner just like obsta

[steel parcel]

cho you’re about the same elo as me right?

obsta is fine. wobb has counter and can tank 2-3 night slashes once dewgong icy winds goon

[analog steeple]

Indeed ! A few points under but ye

[flint wind]

i might want to make a team revolving around shadow bellossom

[analog steeple]

Goon lead, froslass, nido or jellicent. Every fricking matchup

Every now and then you get the guy running the spicy YouTuber team

[flint wind]

bullet seed leaf blade is absolute godlike on a shadow that actually has defense

[steel parcel]

yep same. add mandibuzz and that’s 99% what i go up against

[analog steeple]

Oh yup forgot about mandi lol

[flint wind]

and machamps rarely

[steel parcel]

i don’t mind though, i use basically the same strat for every team and it works 3-4 matches out of 5

[analog steeple]

Been running Golbat / snowbama / froslass

[flint wind]

sudowoodo becomes meta when

i feel as though if tapu fini makes it into great league cp it will become the meta

[analog steeple]

Most folks don’t expect me to no shield the first AA from mandibuzz so I can usually hoard energy and keep shield advantage

Meh. I feel like I see everyone say “if x gets y then it’ll be the meta”

Landorus is a recent and prime example

[flint wind]

rip lando boi

even tho tapu cant be a charmer its really bulky
and if terrain pulse (maybe late gen 8 so we dont have to worry yet) is a mirror of weather ball then we have a really good fairy charged move spammer

[steel parcel]

i just play the team i know best lol, the meta is what it is

[flint wind]

it might also get icy wind which will be really annoyin or it might get surf which is also a very big pain

[analog steeple]

Don’t think they’d ever allow a fairy wb equivalent

[flint wind]

it would def break the meta

[analog steeple]

That’d be way too busted for PvP

At that point just pack it up and start over

[flint wind]

natures madness would likely become a move in the future but i expect it to have a huge energy cost

[steel parcel]

let’s see how aegislash fares before speculating abt gen 6 lol

[analog steeple]

Aegislash

[flint wind]

oh no

rock slide and shadow ball

fury cutter gonna be the fast move of choice?

[steel parcel]

i love ghost types starting with haunter and gengar so i’m pretty much expecting my boi to get a nerf somehow

[flint wind]

oh it got shadow claw

and psycho cut

[steel parcel]

also depends on whether it debuts as shield forme (defense oriented) or default blade forme (glass cannon)

forme changing might be implemented by then but then idk how it’ll work going from shield to blade when it attacks

[flint wind]

carbink and diancie

super super super bulky charmers

carbink might be coming in the near future too which makes that very bad

charm rock slide and either earth power or moonblast/dazzling gleam

luckily diancie wont be here for a few years

[analog steeple]

Lmao shadow claw sword boi. Terrifying thought

[flint wind]

i wonder whats going to happen with trevenant
it could either be quite strong or just a dex filler

what do you think the biggest gen 6 threats still out there are

zygarde is an obvious one, if complete form is seperate then that thing is going to be way too crazy

[dusty oracle]

Complete gets hit with the nerf bat.

[flint wind]

yep for sure

[dusty oracle]

If they follow the existing rules about Level 40 4000CP mons getting hit with the nerf bat.

Which makes it less powerful than 50%.

[flint wind]

avalugg could be really good if it gets a decent fast move, dont think it can learn any good ones though

[inland ermine]

Hows it going? Everybody getting what they want?

[minor lake]

💀

If anyone knocks him out before 11 I’m done

[charred rapids]

Hey guys sorry I have to head off and knock out this dumb as heck blue shuckle out of this gym, it’s been in there for like nearly 22 hou…..oh hey man what’s up

[minor lake]

[radiant vigil]

next minute they're same team so you can just join em instead

[minor lake]

I have 2 shiny shuckles

[charred rapids]

THEY ARE THE SAME TEAM GODDAMIT

It’s fine probably on the other side of the world, I ain’t swimming to knock out a derpy turtle

[radiant vigil]

HAHAHAHA don't hurt your fellow instincts

[minor lake]

Chicago IL

[radiant vigil]

wow that challenge has been thrown

[minor lake]

Another one

[radiant vigil]

i don't even have one shiny shuckle

[minor lake]

I don’t have a normal one

😪

[radiant vigil]

shiny world problems

[minor lake]

💀

Just a few more candy

[analog steeple]

Hot damn

I’m 100 away

[minor lake]

Mine Alr has both attacks too

Iron head and dracometeor

[charred rapids]

[minor lake]

[charred rapids]

Just vibin

I have a few shiny shucks, they were a safari zone spawn so pretty common back in the day, always a nice shiny though

[minor lake]

I’m a free to play

[radiant vigil]

i will just enjoy my shiny shuckle from swshh instead

[charred rapids]

The shucks spawned worldwide lol

So you didn’t have to pay for em

[minor lake]

Ik it was a event in like 2018-19 I think

[radiant vigil]

i tried, but no luck with it then, i remember it being like easter 2019 or 2018 or something

[charred rapids]

Yeah but you made it sound like I paid for mine

[minor lake]

Just the ticket owners had better odds

[radiant vigil]

yeah they did, was still like a mid boost for everyone else

[charred rapids]

Yeah 1/64

Back when safari zone spawns just popped off

[minor lake]

It was a 2019 event

2 years ago

[radiant vigil]

wow, such a different time that was

[minor lake]

Yup I couldn’t go out on my own

I had to make my older brother who has kids Alr take me 😪

At least my nephew had fun

[charred rapids]

my internet keeps crashing

tf i pay yall for

[slim cosmos]

How do I best farm Friend XP

[radiant vigil]

Lucky egg on multiple best friends

[slim cosmos]

Also how can I set up Home for my Alt

[radiant vigil]

You can use the same home login for multiple accounts

[thorny harbor]

Oh that's nice millia

[slim cosmos]

More like I want my Alt to become best friends

[slim cosmos]

It says I can’t link a different Nintendo account

[thorny harbor]

What level you are Millia?

[radiant vigil]

If it's just one friend try make sure to do your daily interaction by sending a gift or trading once a day

[radiant vigil]

49

[radiant vigil]

Same or different device? I have home working on multiple accounts on both the different and same phone

I just used the same Nintendo login and it worked

[thorny harbor]

Oh nice!

That's very cool Millia congrats!

1 more lvl until max level

[slim cosmos]

Oh. I tried to switch my home login and you can’t but it looks like multiple POGOs can move into the Same home account

[radiant vigil]

That's correct. One device for the actual home app but doesn't matter how many pogo accounts on various devices linking to home

[slim cosmos]

Ahhh. It worked. Cool

[radiant vigil]

So i can't open home on my mobile and iPad, but i can still send mons to home in go via my iPad if that makes sense

[slim cosmos]

And I guess making beat with my Alt is just one interaction a day. Gift or raid

[radiant vigil]

Or you can battle it in pvp as well

[slim cosmos]

To save the gift for others

[radiant vigil]

Trading probs the fastest way to do it if you have the 2nd device

[slim cosmos]

Yea. I find Pokémon at a stop. And my main catches a Cranidos at like 1400 and my kids catch the same one at like 700 and we trade those all day. Basically it’s me catching mons for them at a slightly higher level than they should see in their game

[steel parcel]

someone is aggressively arguing that their purified 4* snorlax outperforms a 13/15/13 shadow snorlax and i am trying to be zen

[analog steeple]

Are they. Are they stupid

[steel parcel]

i don’t know

[analog steeple]

Do they just not understand the damage boost

[steel parcel]

so much overconfidence

[radiant vigil]

Challenge them to a duel

[steel parcel]

right after i point out that s-snorlax, s-champ and s-hypno are great for pvp

[radiant vigil]

We can all go in and down vote if ya need

[analog steeple]

Do they. Do they not know about shadow champ aka the daddy of shadows

[steel parcel]

lol it’s okay no brigading. i just don’t want anyone spreading misinformation

[late edge]

It's true. Some shadow mons are meta

But some aren't

[steel parcel]

true but those are probably not meta even as non shadows

and purified wobb and sableye are better than shadow

[radiant vigil]

It sounds like they're against shadows as a whole xD

[final tulip]

rude but

[steel parcel]

where is the anger coming from!

[analog steeple]

I mean like tell me you’re a low level player without telling me you are

[vestal hollow]

they have no reason to be getting salty lmao

[steel parcel]

friends, don’t purify your shadows!

[analog steeple]

So many above 3000 bro you just watch

[final tulip]

only for quests

[charred rapids]

Well he can purify all he wants, but yeah it’s ridiculous

Wrong way to go about it

[steel parcel]

yeah i’m too nice to do the math for him, but everyone else is fighting him lol

[late edge]

He's kinda toxic?

[analog steeple]

I’m surprised you didn’t take the battle request lol

[late edge]

In a way. Also where the f does the anger comes from????

[charred rapids]

Let the dumb be dumb I suppose

[steel parcel]

he didn’t challenge me, just someone else who tried to explain the damage buff

[radiant vigil]

Oh i guess he's the lone shark in the ocean if you've got backup

[steel parcel]

my trusty pvpers swoopin in with the fax

[analog steeple]

If there’s one thing you can count on it’s PvP folks being the nerdiest fuck group in pogo

[charred rapids]

just breathe

[charred rapids]

Resist any urge to smack a mofo

[analog steeple]

Nah they have a profanity filter I’m p sure

[steel parcel]

no it’s on one of the team subs, so there’s not much activity. i’d be scared for their dms if they posted this to silph arena lol

[analog steeple]

Oh goodness me too lol

[radiant vigil]

....i think i found it

First post >.< dishonour to our team lol

[faint ferry]

i should purify my mewtwo

[faint ferry]

any info on the next rocket takeover...?

[radiant vigil]

Nothing

[steel parcel]

reposting this from reddit for my pvpers in here:

so i checked pvpoke and i was surprised by how many mons perform better as non-shadow! (at least in 0-1s)

great
skarmory, purified xl sableye, venusaur,
lapras, snorlax

ultra
swampert, articuno, politoed, lapras, skarmory, snorlax, gyarados, machamp, a-muk (but shadow k-muk > k-muk), suicune, charizard, piloswine, raikou

master
ho-oh, mewtwo, mamoswine, dragonite, metagross, swampert, electivire, weavile, moltres, porygon-z, suicune

i only checked the top 100, but for everything else that has a shadow variant, the shadow performs better than the non-shadow. in ml, s-snorlax is #17 compared to snorlax at #43! (of course, i wouldn’t recommend investing in shadows for newer players or those without stardust to burn)

i was replying to a comment arguing that shadows don’t work at rank 20+ (i.e. against skilled players, implying shadow users lack skills?) but in the politest, most research-driven way i could manage

[radiant vigil]

sad feels for my hundo shadow skarmory

[uncut trail]

6 more raids today

[faint ferry]

shadow dunsparce when?

[steel parcel]

in regular ultra, s-skarm is #43 and non shadow is #37, so it’s close! i’d give it a shot, shadundos are rare :)

[radiant vigil]

my only hundo shadow

[lucid frigate]

I should tell that person that i ran shadow magnezone (not even a hard meta shadow) last season and nearly got me to legend

Shadows in general are pretty fun to use, they’re squishy but just give em a shield advantage and things (for the most part) work out

[rustic nova]

if i go this entire event without a single shiny fossil i will be sad

it doesnt even need to be either of the new ones

the only shiny fossil i have is a shiny shadow omanyte

[twilit sapphire]

imagine getting event shinies

[rustic nova]

[charred rapids]

[rustic nova]

[radiant vigil]

[normal crystal]

What's an event shiny?

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

shiny kabuto

we lit lit

[unique hazel]

I'm so excited. Got my first auto-catcher for Go, being the Pokeball Plus

[radiant vigil]

once you go auto it's so hard to go back

[vestal hollow]

only shiny I've gotten in the wild besides dialga is Porygon... the pokemon that's had comm days before I just want cranidos

[radiant vigil]

comm day shinies always make me sad uses up my luck quota for the month

[unique hazel]

You guys are getting shinies?

[uncut trail]

got a yucky non-event shiny yanma

i got 5 of these pesky shinies already

[radiant vigil]

man i know someone who'd kill for a pogo shiny yanma haha

[final tulip]

I got two of those

one on the main one on the alt

[radiant vigil]

I just have the one from 2019 lol

[steel parcel]

first time playing an expert! the badge looks lit ngl

[uncut trail]

well i just got another shiny dialga

3/110 ish

[modern nymph]

Jebus that's alot of remote pass

[late edge]

That's.... a lot of dialgas

[uncut trail]

all for that hundo

normally i cba but its one of my fav gen 4 mon

[steel parcel]

what’s your favorite?

[uncut trail]

shiny wise it would be giratina

regular one there's a lot that sticks out to me

but my bias says gallade

[inland ermine]

Why is torchic so cute when it runs away from the pokeball

[late edge]

Haha.

[dreamy flower]

Need Help :( always looking for rayquaza. But never got the Chance... Because Not enough ppl for Raid... Maybe i will find here some help with raids?

[uncut trail]

rayquaza isnt in raids atm

[south shoal]

currently dialgas only in raids

[steel parcel]

could try asking your local discord if anyone has spare rayquazas. someone local really wants a shiny charizard so i told them i’d be happy to trade one to them

[dreamy flower]

Have no shiny Charizard... Poor me.. Wanted also some haha.
Im also fine with dialga... But in my City everything is dead no One is doin raids and my friends quitted

[shut surge]

You can try using an app like pokegenie also to queue for raids if the discords are quiet

[inland ermine]

110 dialgas. You must be rich

How do yall grind so hard??

[fluid eagle]

persistance.

[inland ermine]

I lack it

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel not a flex but I never thought I would come back from 1400 to ace rank 🤣🤣🤣

[steel parcel]

congrats! yea i went from 2100 to 1100 during element cup so it was a long climb back to ace

[late edge]

Why does my xerneas look@like this?

[primal sluice]

i think this is wt boost me up

on my main i had about 7 deoxys from that cup XD

[stuck schooner]

thoughts on pokemon unite?

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/aug-2021-events/

[lusty spoke]

Shaymin and necrozoma thatts odd

[cyan quarry]

They're just covering all formes past and present

[modern nymph]

it's alright for a moba game. would be very cautious on the monetization especially if newer pokemon become power creep as time pass on

hmm is mega beedrill or pidgeot worth doing raids? or just worth a mega evolution entry?

[subtle bough]

mega raid shiny rate is 1/60 if im not wrong

cuz i learned that quite painfully

[modern nymph]

is that better than the standard rate?

[subtle bough]

leggies shiny rate is 1/20

so i would say no? unless u are ready to burn through remote passes

[modern nymph]

NOPE

[subtle bough]

wild pokemon no matter how low the rate is cant be compared with mega raids though cuz wild pokemon doesnt require us to buy remote raid passes or raid passes

[modern nymph]

honestly i think i might stop getting dialga. i've caught like 12 of them now

[subtle bough]

my shiny dialga came after 56

[modern nymph]

yeah... no i'm not that desperate.

[subtle bough]

yea if u dont really mind , then dont do it

unless it is something u really want

[modern nymph]

eventually. but it is so damn pricey

[cyan quarry]

Mega bee, unleas you want a challenge, avoid

Pidgeot is very much worth for xl grinding

[modern nymph]

personally remote raiding shouldn't have cost to begin with.

and trading should have been Globally accessible

[cyan quarry]

Beedrill energy is occasionally generated when spinning gyms when you unlock them

[modern nymph]

that good to hear

[subtle bough]

[cyan quarry]

But if you do want a challenge, beedrill is a medium hard duo, boasting massive damage and actually okay coverage. Not to mention spammy

Rhyperior and heatran are your best bets, being bulky and dishing out se damage quickly. Rampardos also works well, but is revive heavy.

Mega wise zard Y or pidgeot

Mewtwo works, but beedrill's bug attacks make him paper

[crisp relic]

[Message Link](#pogo_showcase message) to #pogo_showcase
i had bf next to me for the last 2 sets and honestly explaining my predictions for their backline/what charged move they would prob throw/if they would shield or not helped SO MUCH. best bf ever

Req. by Classic Christian. Quote from · Jul 26, 2021, 5:13 PM

[analog steeple]

@steel parcel I’ve found narrating my matches to people has helped too. Might be a nerves thing for me?

“Oh they have a blah blah blah probably gonna try and bait with blah then swap”

“Oh that’s okay I can take this move and then shield the next one”

[steel parcel]

yea exactly! it helped so much

i even showed him exactly how much damage i’d take from each unshielded move

still got lucky with some of those matchups

i managed to go 5-0 on my first set playing all veterans

i’m never playing a match without him now. he’s in for a ride

[lucid frigate]

Grats on veteran! Expert next?

[steel parcel]

i hope!! i’m only 150 pts away

we’ll see how ultra goes

[twilit sapphire]

It is pretty great when people do that narration thingy

helps a lot to newbies to understand stuff

[charred rapids]

Get Morgan Freeman to do mine

[steel parcel]

i’d go 25-0 with the voice of god narrating my internal commentary

[late sparrow]

So I found this in the wild
Useless but cool

[analog steeple]

Running open or remix? I just tried remix and got murdered. Lost 180 or so points :/

Jelli and drifabloom driftballoon drift ballroom however you spell it are just too slow for gengar

[charred rapids]

i need pogo to bless me with a shiny aerodactyl so i can finish my lets go shiny dex

[steel parcel]

omg oh no! i was thinking remix but now i’m not sure

[analog steeple]

It’s bruuuutal. If you don’t have giratina-O it’s a bad time

Or a way to walk that and gengar

[steel parcel]

i don’t have any gira with pvp ivs

[analog steeple]

Gonna give it another day then go back to open if I need to

I XL’d drif goldbloom and jelli for nothing but pain

[steel parcel]

i do have 4/5 of its main counters—gunfisk, aboma, poli and a9

have you seen it in lead or in the backline?

@analog steeple this is what i have to work with, but about half need to be powered up:
g-stunfisk - rank 2
jellicent
scrafty (455k stardust)
meganium
s-champ (113k stardust) - rank 7
a9
drifblim (504k stardust)
machamp
skarmory
blastoise (470k stardust)
snorlax
magnezone (184k stardust) - rank 4
altaria (508k stardust)
goodra (23k stardust)
hypno
zangoose (517k stardust) - rank 14

[late sparrow]

Yeeee

[steel parcel]

zangoose is the most $$$ but counters gira, aboma, gunfisk, mewtwo and s-champ. loses to nido, toed, snorlax, sylveon and regiock tho

[charred rapids]

pog nice shiny

[late sparrow]

Thank

[analog steeple]

Usually tucked in the back which is why I’ve been trying to draw it out with jelli

Ooo zangoose

[steel parcel]

i got my gl remix team from a random comment on reddit, still looking for a good ultra team lol

[analog steeple]

Saw a LOT of armored mewtwos

Yeah there’s usually a thread I lurk on silph arena so gonna see if they got anything for remix cup

[steel parcel]

yea i googled a few ideas for ul remix teams so i know what to expect if i run into one of those leads

don’t have the mons for those teams so i might as well figure out how to counter em

[analog steeple]

Might have to shelf my champ till I can retool

Tragic. The man gets me through every UL matchup

[steel parcel]

150 pts to expert is so nerve wracking. i feel like a lucky streak could take me there in one day but a few missteps will tank me into the 2000s

i’m going to see how far i can go with mons i have built already. last round of ul premier i spent way more than i earned oops

[analog steeple]

So stressful. I was 86 points shy of veteran and just kept facing the hard counters during gl remix

Back to 2186 but meh. I’ve been in worse spots

[steel parcel]

ahh that is stressful. 4 out of the 10 leads i ran into on my final 2 sets were shadow champ! rngesus was testing me

i’m hoping ledian gets a move update next season, got a good rank 1 i’d like to try

@analog steeple what times do you usually play? i’ve started noticing that my 4-1 and 5-0 sets nearly always happen between 12-3 pm (maybe bc i’m playing against bored kids?)

[analog steeple]

Usually play in the morning so like 5am -6am my time before work so I beat up the aussies

Usually in the afternoons is when I hit rough patches

[twilit sapphire]

@normal crystal @analog steeple the holy trinity of team colors

[normal crystal]

[radiant vigil]

what's this about beating up aussies

[analog steeple]

Isn’t like 12hrs from now your evening? 🤔 @radiant vigil

[charred rapids]

You ain’t beating no aussies mate

[radiant vigil]

it is

[analog steeple]

Otherwise who the heck am I beating Up in PvP

[radiant vigil]

but closer to midnight

[charred rapids]

Lil Bin chicken

[radiant vigil]

so it might not be the aussies cos some sleep early haha

[analog steeple]

Am I beating up Europeans??

[radiant vigil]

likely japan/korea/singapore in that -2 hours timezone

or the west australians, but go for it on them (jk)

[analog steeple]

Awww hell yeah stomping on some hardcore Go peeps

[radiant vigil]

cho getting the real pvp experience

[normal crystal]

How dare you

[steel parcel]

@analog steeple why aren’t we friends on pogo? i need to battle you sometime

[analog steeple]

Oh shoot lemme slide into those DMs

[slow warren]

Feelsbad when theres dialga in your backyard and I'm weak af

[minor lake]

Look what I found on my little brothers acc

Finna send that over to my main 😌

[serene linden]

lemme do the same real quick xD

[steel parcel]

use pokegenie to host! easy xp too

[analog steeple]

^^^^

[serene linden]

tried it yesterday, didn't like it

[serene linden]

you can always post it in legendary raids, there's bunch of people waiting for'em

[slow warren]

Oh I see wasnt aware ibcould do so maybe if it's still there when i get home lol, just went out

[tight pilot]

I can usually help ya out just ping me 🙏🏻 whether ya need ppl or even just randoms

[slow warren]

O sounds g thanks, sadly its almost gone couple minutes and I gotta run errands maybe next time

[plain marsh]

lol

[restive ore]

When you transfer PoGo pokemon to sword/shield do you keep same IV?

[slow warren]

Woohoo got first dialga by sponging off a random raid with 9 people lmao well deserved /s

[analog steeple]

Yup just the speed is random since pogo doesn’t have speed

[restive ore]

You dont have to get the premium to transfer over like 2 or 3 right?

[slim cosmos]

Is this dude rare now?

[radiant vigil]

premium doesn't affect how much you can move, just how much you can access in home (30 on the free iirc)

[restive ore]

Ah so as long as I don't pass 30 mons I'm golden sweet

[radiant vigil]

i think you can hold more than 30, but you just can't see beyond that

[faint ferry]

250k exp from evos...

pretty alright for an hour

[unique hazel]

Wow, my slaking has been defending a gym for 5 days now, a gym that normally changes color every day too. I wonder what happened that made players uninterested in it

[uncut trail]

decided to just buy one pass today

and 4th shiny

[radiant vigil]

one more was worth it

[uncut trail]

good thing i can use my green passes on raid hour

i will walk to the gyms personally

so odds now are like 1/27.5 ish

out of the 110 raids

[radiant vigil]

raid hour shiny time

[charred rapids]

psa - gotcha are causing temp bans on pogo

source: 2 of my accounts with gotcha use got temp banned 1 that didnt use gotcha didnt even get a warning

[fossil basin]

Gah my game almost died due to crashes.

[fossil basin]

Gotcha?

Forgot to turn off ping again

[radiant vigil]

Rn seems to be a lot of false warnings on pogo accounts - another flag are users running ios12

[charred rapids]

https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEFr-E49rN70azW-1oLq5TwQqGQgEKhAIACoHCAowyviECzCygIIDMNL7kAc?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

@charred rapids

[inland ermine]

Does anybody ever wonder what niantic does with our info??

[analog steeple]

Probably the same thing google, your phone, your social media, your credit card purchases, your internet history etc etc etc do

[young bolt]

When can you get legends from battle league

[charred rapids]

They haven’t undone either of my 7 day temp bans that came with my warning.

I just let the gotcha run while I’m working or surfing the web. So kind of lame tbh

[tight pilot]

At rank 20 then its still upto random encounter on third win

[slow warren]

This raid hour bit on Wednesday 6 to 7, it increases legendary shiny odds? By like a lot or?

[young bolt]

Thank you

What

[lusty spoke]

oh yeh how do you get more mega candy except doing raids and walking with the pokemon

[radiant vigil]

nah odds aren't increased, it's just every gym having L5 that hour

[radiant vigil]

those are the best two ways, unless you also get some xl rare candy (rare affff)

[inland ermine]

Whats xl rare candy?

[lusty spoke]

You squish regular candy together st lvl 40 to become xl candy

[late edge]

Ah yes. The most dangerous weather. Sunny weather

[slow warren]

Ah gotcha ty
Was reading it and misunderstood

[silver nymph]

heatadvisory

I have it too

[unique hazel]

I have it too because fires could starts. It's nice that there are warnings in the game though

[late edge]

Anyone know what the mega raids are going to be for ultra unlock week 2?

[elder cloud]

Make sure you dont melt into a human ice pop

[late edge]

Yes.

[cunning horizon]

Are there porygon raids happening? I need to catch 7 for the event thing.

[late edge]

There are porygon 2 raids. No porygon raids I don't. Think

[tight pilot]

Yeah ^ just Pory2 (doesnt count toward timed research*)

[sleek quarry]

After Mega Charizard X: Mega Ampharos, Mega Beedrill, then Mega Pidgeot

[orchid barn]

does anyone know how pogo changes the legendaries

like when will they switch

[late edge]

Their ign news and such

[late edge]

Yaaay ampharos

[tight pilot]

Next is Palkia , dialga ends Aug 3rd

[late edge]

Wait so what's in the 3 day interval?

[tight pilot]

Oh oops it is August 6th, ultra unlock 1 just goes till August 3rd*

Theyre leaving dialga in raids until Palkia comes on the 6th at 10am local time ofc

Till Aug 20th, so two weeks of Palkia too

[civic rampart]

What legendary Pokémon do u get from Giovanni rn?

[flint wind]

pretty sure ho-oh

[faint ferry]

still trying to make up my mind on whether to send my lvl 1 100% lucky greninja over to home or not

[steel parcel]

speed stat is random so it’s not a guaranteed 6iv but could be worth a try

[faint ferry]

yeah...

and being lvl 1 is kinda cool on its own

like, i have lvl 1 emboar and garchomps sitting in home too

[inland ermine]

Will i ever find a ditto?

[flint wind]

someday

[inland ermine]

Someday never

[civic rampart]

How do u find a ditto?

[fluid eagle]

luck. it basicly hides as other pokes then you gotta catch em till one randomly changes

[late edge]

Pokémon isn't giving me the blue berry and cranberry I want

[twilit sapphire]

it is do you know how much it sucks to play under the sun nowadays

you feel awful, sweaty and dying just by walkin a couple streets

[radiant vigil]

Got sunburnt on several comm days, very dangerous

[twilit sapphire]

i practically died after fest days

too much sun and hot weather

summer sucks

[late edge]

Haha I agree

[charred rapids]

Go fest

[analog steeple]

I tossed so many invites your way

Just kept wondering where the hell you were lol

[charred rapids]

I appreciate all the invites and the persistence though Cho, I would of been happy to join.

[analog steeple]

Next time

[charred rapids]

Indeed, or Heracross

Because I’m definitely gonna be smashing out whatever Heracross I can manage

[flint wind]

hopefully heracross spawn rates boosted, hope to get a pink bug by the end of that event

[analog steeple]

If anything they’ll probably decrease to get raid money

[flint wind]

[charred rapids]

They aren’t spawning globally anyway so that’s unfortunate

So yeah I can see them decreasing the spawns for where it’s located

[flint wind]

luckily im in heracross area... hopefully at least some show up

[rotund copper]

I wish they had brought back every costumed Pokémon from 2016-present for the ultra unlock 2021: time

Imagine how cool that’d be

[charred rapids]

Ew no

Costumed Pokémon are the bane of my existence, that would be a terrible event

[flint wind]

i would have to buy more pokemon storage

[charred rapids]

Would be too much backlash, all that work to unlock something good chunk of player base has

[radiant vigil]

remember flower crown eevee from research breakthrough?

[tight pilot]

Pls not again

^ and i love eevee + costume mons too its just been sooooo many times

Howeverrrr I would love another chance at shiny Party Hat Wurmple, couldnt get the shiny first time around

[charred rapids]

Ahhhhh party hat wurmple, probably one of my most coveted shines

[radiant vigil]

[tight pilot]

I spent soo much on incubators for that event and nadda🥲

[radiant vigil]

i have shiny party hat eevee lol

[charred rapids]

Sorry to say I didn’t try for it, if I remember I was pretty busy during the event, and I only got to hatch two batches

[radiant vigil]

I always hope for the event where I can low effort it and still get the shiny

[charred rapids]

Like this current one for me? I got the cran and shieldon below 50 checks, dialga was first raid

Which means my Hera will take 300 raids

[analog steeple]

I used all my incubators for Lapras for shiny Lapras and nothing

I think I hatched 30 something eggs

[fluid eagle]

did any of you get a shiny pikachu meleotta hat?

[serene linden]

I got one

[charred rapids]

Yeah same

[fluid eagle]

got it first poke on go-fest

i think mines lvl 1

[charred rapids]

Didn’t want it but I got it

[serene linden]

I got a near shundo shiny feebas

[tight pilot]

I wanted but didnt get missing most shiny hat pikas only have a couple like new years hat, flower crown pichu n couple others

[radiant vigil]

there's too many of them to keep up with i have like 6 and i think that's already not too bad lol

[tight pilot]

Oh yeah i got the 5th anni 🎈 pika shiny too thats why i couldmt get meloetta hat one

[radiant vigil]

oh i got the meloetta one, that one is probably more common than the 5th anniversary one anyay

[inland ermine]

Hi pros. So if i rank up in BL does that put stronger mons in the wild or anything?

[analog steeple]

Nope. At rank 20 you can encounter legendary Pokémon if you win 3/5 battles in a set but besides that no

[inland ermine]

I see. So just keep hustlin candies and shuffling out the weak ones?

I saw somebody was an ace, how does that happen??

[analog steeple]

Just fight and win lol. What level are you in game?

[inland ermine]

30,started 3 weeks ago

[analog steeple]

Great league might be better for ya

Cp 1500 limit. Ultra is 2500

[inland ermine]

Its putting me in ultra, so i do well there. I kilt all my mons during go fest so its taking a while to recover haha

[analog steeple]

Yeah right now it’s ultra. Honestly the first few ranks are just typing matchups

The higher levels is when you gotta do more PvP strategies

[inland ermine]

So i have 92 friends, 91 are all from this server. Im currently attempting strategy so one day i can battle somebody from here and at least do decent. Im too old and put way too many hours into pokemon to fall on my face so imma keep practicing. It took me a minute to catch on. Ive played red as a kid up til now, so this is a little different

I mean up til currents

Swsh

[analog steeple]

OH so for PvP yoy don’t battle your friends you battle strangers

[inland ermine]

Ok

[analog steeple]

But yeah lemme know if you want pointers or advice

I enjoy PvP even though I’m dicks at it

[inland ermine]

Thanks!

[radiant vigil]

you sound pro tho

[inland ermine]

Its helped a lot being in ultra, my good mons are 2500 and under and not fainted lol

Whats the highest cp?

[tight pilot]

Cho is Pro

[radiant vigil]

cho the pro

[charred rapids]

GoPro? Nah fam ChoPro

[uncut trail]

and what do you know

2 raids today and shiny dialga

5 in 110 ish

cant wait for raid hour later

[radiant vigil]

oooo nearly at 1/20 odds now

[uncut trail]

ye

back to normal

only difference is 400 XLs

[analog steeple]

It’s that thing where I understand the leagues and ideal counters but never seem to line up good ones

[radiant vigil]

ah all talk and no action? 😛

[analog steeple]

Me : “ah yes I just need machamp on their snowbama and I can kick ass”
Them : “lemme just lead with mewtwo for lols”

[uncut trail]

algorithm i guess

i do go up against bad leads most of the time

[radiant vigil]

yeah it's funny like that, was on a win streak, ranked up, got smashed, then ranked up again and was on a winning streak?

it's like they shove you bad matchups on purpose consecutively

[uncut trail]

ye

[analog steeple]

They do try and keep you at a 50% win rate

[uncut trail]

on another note, i might just be able to max out 2 more dialgas to level 40

[analog steeple]

Even the big pro bois are sitting at 60% at best

[uncut trail]

cuz of how much i farmed

[radiant vigil]

you'll be the king of master league

[uncut trail]

im still hunting for those two new shinies tho

got shiny bellsprout yesterday and it sucked

[radiant vigil]

dw same here

[uncut trail]

would much rather shiny voltorb

goddammit

[radiant vigil]

oh that's the only one i've gotten this event

pogo must've felt sorry for my failed voltorb hunt in lgpe

[uncut trail]

i got 2 non-event shinies so far

a fricking yanma which i already got 5 of

and a bellsprout which i also have 5 of

[radiant vigil]

yanma

[inland ermine]

Yanma would be cool

[uncut trail]

got my free weekly remote pass and bouta dunk it on dialga

[sleek quarry]

Use it for raid hour!

I'm planning on running maybe 15 Dialga tomorrow. Got my shiny, aiming for that hundo

[uncut trail]

i can walk out for raid hour so thats fine

really need to down my green passes

[serene linden]

know the feeling xD

[uncut trail]

i got a 98% but no shiny

i was soooooooo close now

[minor lake]

My sleep schedule is trash no wonder I’m never up in time to take gyms

[onyx moat]

When will they come to raids?

[charred rapids]

Probably not for awhile

[radiant vigil]

when they've milked the money for shiny kyurem

[uncut trail]

That machop was such a cock block

Thank god I got the main target

[radiant vigil]

[odd glade]

So thats where all my shiny Dialga went

[lusty spoke]

Random question but where would I find a cubone if possible to even get one anymore

[muted bough]

I have shiny ✨ cubone for u

[radiant vigil]

From an event that releases cubone from oblivion

[lusty spoke]

Darn why did they make the meltan quest so stupidly annoying

[serene linden]

there's a mission where you gotta catch some lileep and omanyte, finally did it last week with the Time event

[lusty spoke]

Cuboneeee why do you hurt me like this

[uncut trail]

i caught a second shiny cranidos off incense

[radiant vigil]

Is that the secret to cranberry cranidos? 👀

[final tulip]

I really do want a shiny cranidos

[late edge]

Same.

[sleek quarry]

I wanna find two so I can send one to home for the diamond and pearl remakes

[uncut trail]

there's plenty of days left so it should be enough time

now gotta snag the other one

[final tulip]

indeed

[radiant vigil]

[analog steeple]

Foggy weather this morning as I was going for coffee which turned into me walking around for 40 minutes catching gastly

[tight pilot]

Foggy weather in game so rare i dont even blame you

[analog steeple]

Weather has shifted unfortunately but got this boy

[tight pilot]

Damnnn

[analog steeple]

Just mad I wasn’t more prepared. Didn’t have my chargers or anything

Was gonna stay out an extra hour but now it’s cloudy weather

[tight pilot]

Can never expect that foggy weather but always nice when it comes in, in the early morning! Only need like just shy of 200 more ghost types for plat ghost badge too so gotta take alll those ghastlys

[analog steeple]

Might just go grab my pack and walk around a bit more anyways. Weather isn’t supposed to clear for a few more hours so might get lucky

I need 250 for this gengar and I’m at 100

[final tulip]

You guys are getting weather other than cloudy no way

only cloudy and sunny around here

[inland ermine]

@analog steeple that view, how do i see that on mine?? It doesnt look the same

[analog steeple]

It’s not in pogo it’s on a separate app

[inland ermine]

Ahhh i see

[uncut trail]

inb4 i get another shiny cranidos

and not shieldon

[tight pilot]

I want shiny cranberry

[serene linden]

im only getting blueberry ... sad

[late edge]

What.

I have no blueberry or cranberry. ;-; I've used all me incense on trying to get a blueberry and cranberry

[tight pilot]

Jealous of that one too got another shiny lileep this event but already had so

[serene linden]

I meant regular cranidos by blueberry xD

i'm not lucky at all with this event

[tight pilot]

Oh LOL i thought you meant shiny Shieldon bc he goes bluey tbh havent had spawns last two days being out on vacay but will hopefully clean up when we get back Friday!

[serene linden]

last shiny I got was shiny regigigas on swsh yesterday

[late edge]

Last shiny I got was my shiny cramorant that stole my shiny luck for dialga now

[uneven vale]

Hi! Since I'm not playing Pokémon GO anymore, I'd like to transfer some of my pokémons to Sword. Could someone advice me which pokémons are worth transferring? I bet some of them are easier to get in Sword than GO so I don't want to make a mistake that I'll regret later 😅

[sleek quarry]

You would probably want to transfer Pokemon that are shield exclusive, like Gible. You can find a list online of what version has which exclusive Pokemon

Then maybe shinies or legendaries. It will probably take a long time to transfer them all though

[sweet whale]

Can anyone please help me with a mega raid, I just really need to win one for a quest

[faint ferry]

what quest needs you to win a mega raid?

[late edge]

What is his mood??? Confusion

[faint ferry]

nooo i stepped on my new phone and cracked the screen

[stark narwhal]

Was shieldon the only mon with increased shiny odds right now? Because I got Voltorb this morning and Cranidos this afternoon

[faint ferry]

i dont think any are boosted atm

i got 2 kabutos and a bunnelby since the event started but 0/19 dialgas

[late edge]

Cranidos, porygon, kabuto, omanyte, shieldon, voltorb are all boosted

Btw anyone know good counters to Giovanni? Probably gonna fight Giovanni today

[faint ferry]

are you sure theyre boosted? leekduck doesnt list them as such

[flint wind]

any fighter is good for countering persian (machamp is really nice)
any spammy abuser like excadrill or roserade
and ofc a rock type to wreck ho-oh

[faint ferry]

i like having rock slide as a second move on my main machamp for burning shields quicker

[flint wind]

pretty sure cross chop is faster than rock slide tbh
or is that a raid champ

[faint ferry]

rock slide has different coverage though

[flint wind]

true

[faint ferry]

heavy slam would probably be marginally more useful, but not really worth the TM

[flint wind]

eh machamp wont survive a charmer before it gets to use it

[analog steeple]

Do you have confirmation they’re boosted anywhere ?

Shiny odd boosts isnt the same as spawn boots

[faint ferry]

im almost 100% certain theyre not boosted... caught a lot more of them combined this week than i have during community days and only gotten like 1/10 the shinies

[analog steeple]

They didn’t list it when they revealed the event info

[faint ferry]

have something like 20 shiny tepigs

[rustic nova]

the SPAWNS are boosted but they arent shiny boosted

prob seems like they are but that is just because they are spawning more than usual

[dusty oracle]

None of those are shiny boosted currently.

[serene linden]

I wish xD

[late edge]

I know ultra unlock page. I think 2 Pokémon boosted. I though they meant often in the wild ;-;

It was in ultra unlock picture

[dusty oracle]

Shiny Cranidos and Shieldon are appearing for the first time, but they're not shiny boosted.

[faint ferry]

[late edge]

Ah. ;-;

My bad;-;

[analog steeple]

That shiny shieldon is niceeeee

[late edge]

[dusty oracle]

It's a rare day they shinyboost something for a non-commday non-paid event, and it's rarer that they advertise it.

[analog steeple]

Yeah ^ tends to be why I try and comment when I see misinformation. I feel like a lot of pogo is peeps posting their findings so it’s good to make sure everyone knows the accurate info

[faint ferry]

arceus community day when?

[analog steeple]

For instance I had been raiding deoxys with someone for weeks before I realized they thought it could be shiny

[late edge]

Yeah sorry I though they meant like more frequent in wild

[dusty oracle]

People only worked out Meditite was shinyboosted during Valentines because they suddenly got a tonne of shiny reports.

[analog steeple]

All good don’t worry. It’s happened to all of us

[late edge]

Still looking for that cranberry and blueberry

[analog steeple]

Same

[serene linden]

Saame

[late edge]

;-;

[serene linden]

whenever i see someone getting a shiny in pogo_flexing, I pop an incense and hope my day will come

[dusty oracle]

Speaking of clarifying, just to clarify, if something's at a certain shiny rate, it's almost certain that that shiny rate will be the same for all methods of encountering it. So for example, Cranidos is both in the wild and in raids rn. It's at base odds for both the wild and raids, there's not a unique rate for each encounter type.

Well. All methods, unless Niantic does a booboo.

[analog steeple]

Wym they’ve never done that hides galar ponyta under the rug

[dusty oracle]

Shiny Research Alolapix flashbacks.

[analog steeple]

hides shiny rocket shadows under the rug

[faint ferry]

i got a shiny shadow pinsir in december

2 of them even

[analog steeple]

Did y’all ever read about that? Someone posted on Reddit asking if anyone had received a shiny shadow after a certain date and the entire thread was a resounding no

It was believed niantic had turned off the shinies

[faint ferry]

lol

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, it's listed in the "Shiny Absences" log.

[rustic nova]

Pretty much all of these spawns excluding maybe 10-20 of em have been during this event, no shiny. I’ve seen YouTubers get like well over 1k encounters and no shiny

[late edge]

Y'all have. Good shines?

[faint ferry]

wonder how many ive had...

[dusty oracle]

I got my only shiny Cranberry on the second click of the event.

Since then, nothing.

But hey, still got a few more days.

[late edge]

The only good shines I have are mewtwo and dialga

That's my opinion though

[rustic nova]

Cranidos is one of my favorite shinies of all time, I want it so badly

[faint ferry]

oh, i got a shiny lickitung last week

[dusty oracle]

I've got a cute pair, Golditung and Goldilicks.

[rustic nova]

But during this event I’ve gotten TWO shiny Voltorb, a Porygon, and a Murkrow ALL on my alt account

[late edge]

Check #pogo_showcase to see me shines.

And tell me which one you think are good

[rustic nova]

Then on my main I get… shiny bulbasaur?

[late edge]

Haven't gotten nothin for this event

[faint ferry]

last week i got lickitung, bunnelby, duskull, and mudkip

[late edge]

;-;

[serene linden]

how y'all doing that ;=;

[late edge]

Buneary prob the one I want most

[rustic nova]

I want at least one shiny fossil this event but it just ain’t happening

[dusty oracle]

Find an offroad cycle route. 😄

[late edge]

I have 12 shines that it

[faint ferry]

only 12 total?

[late edge]

What.

Yeah. Only 12 for being level 32

And playing for more than 3 years

[faint ferry]

when did you start playing?

hmm...

[rustic nova]

how often do you play?

[faint ferry]

you just missed community days or something?

[serene linden]

aren't you doing community day's

[late edge]

This would be my second account though. I had an older one but lost it so had to make a new one. Luckily no shines in the old one

[dusty oracle]

Cycling is honestly the best way to play PoGo.

[late edge]

Yeah I missed all the community days.

[faint ferry]

i got around 15-20 shinies each of charmander, swablu, tepig, and gible

[late edge]

I recently got back into pogo.

[serene linden]

i get around 5- 10 of each species on comm days

[faint ferry]

oh, and nidorans

[late edge]

What's next comm day?

[serene linden]

get ready , 14-15 of august it's eevee comm day

[late edge]

There was a snivy wasn't there?

[dusty oracle]

Map out your local area, go for an hour long route at just under fastest pace.

[faint ferry]

i think eevee is next

[late edge]

[dusty oracle]

All commday pokes for this year will be back in December, at CommDay rates.

[rustic nova]

dont have data

[late edge]

Ah okay. Thank god. I need gible

[crisp relic]

Nova has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

[dusty oracle]

Last year's commday pokes will be in raids, but it's not worth the hassle.

[faint ferry]

i want phantump community day

[serene linden]

I gotta go in another city to get pokestop, aiming at lvl 38 to add some near me

[faint ferry]

get me my white tree of gondor

[dusty oracle]

Phantump's more likely to get a special research day, if anything.

And not for a while, at that.

[faint ferry]

i transfer most of my shinies over to home

[late edge]

Dang I'm on a ferry and I ain't got gps signal

[faint ferry]

trade them with alts first if their stats are crap

[late edge]

I transferred a shiny mewtwo into home and it's not letting me put the shiny into swsh

[dusty oracle]

I keep all of mine in GO, as I already have a completedex in HOME. I mainly play GO for something to do whilst out and about.

[faint ferry]

do you have a mewtwo in SWSH already?

[late edge]

No

[serene linden]

shouldn't matter

[late edge]

I have the dlc but I don't have mewtwo in swsh

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, HOME won't let you transfer in a GO mon to SwSh that you don't have already registered.

[serene linden]

weird

[serene linden]

for real

[faint ferry]

i sent my PoGo shiny onion into SWSH no problem

[late edge]

Uh... I was able to transfer a latias that I traded through home.

[faint ferry]

i already had a regular onion though

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, it's not an issue if you've had a non-PoGo version in first.

[faint ferry]

yeah

you just gotta have the dex entry before sending it in

[serene linden]

raid hour start in 50 min for me so ill host then

[late edge]

Um. Latias wasn't entered in my dex but I was able to transfer it over.

Same with kyogre

[dusty oracle]

As in you traded for it on HOME?

[late edge]

The latias yes the kyogre was straight from my pogo

[dusty oracle]

The latter is odd. The former had been to SwSh before.

[faint ferry]

wonder trade in home gave me a shiny kyogre from PoGo yesterday

[dusty oracle]

Quote: "If you wish to transfer certain Pokémon from Pokémon GO that are in HOME into Sword & Shield or any future game, that Pokémon needs to be registered in the Pokémon Sword & Shield game's Pokédex or have already had one in that game."

[late edge]

;-;

Ah okay. I think if you don't have the dlc you can just transfer it in

[slow warren]

Is there like a trick for shinies in pogo or just pure rng

[late edge]

I got the dlc recently. And I transferred my latias before I got the dlc. Same with kyogre

[faint ferry]

rng

[dusty oracle]

Just pure RNG.

Well.

[late edge]

Rng

[slow warren]

Ah ty

[late edge]

Maybe the dlc?

[dusty oracle]

There are some pokes that can't be shiny, so those are a 0% chance, elsewise it's RNG.

Xd

[slow warren]

Shiny mons dont appear on the overlay map right? You have to click em to find?

[dusty oracle]

Mhm!

[faint ferry]

yeah, if you wanna hunt just shinies you can just tap on them and back out till you find one

they dont reroll after you back out though

raids wont show if theyre shiny till you beat them

[slow warren]

Ahh ty
Additionally, I have a field thing for catching a ditto, I read they just appear as anything? So I have to catch anything and hope it's a ditto?
