niceee'

[sullen urchin]

garbage ivs... worth evolving?

[tropic reef]

yes unless u find another one

i say shinies before normals

[sullen urchin]

ok lol

i had just evolved a gabite to garchomp yesterday and right after i found a shiny gible

SHINY EEVEE 😄

[tropic reef]

nicee

i still need a gible

and a tepig

[sullen urchin]

i think the only one left i want is shinx and duskull

[tropic reef]

both the only community days i did this year

lel

[sullen urchin]

same lol

oh no, i only have 19 balls left 😂

[tropic reef]

oh no

spam friends for gifts then ig

thats what i do 😂

[sullen urchin]

lol i'll have to add more, half of mine aren't active anymore

[tropic reef]

ok

[sullen urchin]

welp thats the com day for me, out of balls lol

[flint wind]

just sent u friend req hopefully u can get a few more

[sullen urchin]

ty i appreciate it

[sullen urchin]

Woohoo

[charred rapids]

any shiny luck anyone?

got a snivy and a gible today

[sullen urchin]

All but magikarp and darumaka were caught this weekend

[glad rover]

I love that I can skip the hatch animation now and my community day’s going great. Getting more Gible candy and this community day was also helpful in helping me finish the Roselia and Machop research that came with the Kanto Tour ticket

[tropic narwhal]

Anyone wanna be my friend?

[glad rover]

#pogo_friend_codes

[tropic narwhal]

My bad

[ivory halo]

Choose your starter.

[twilit sapphire]

Still no Snivy, pain

[ivory halo]

[glad rover]

I got a shiny Snivy to

[tropic narwhal]

How are you guys getting so lucky?

[glad rover]

My haul for this community weekend is pretty small, that Shiny Machoke is the start and Shiny Snivy’s the last thing I’ve kept from it

[twilit sapphire]

Just normal playing and catching everything

[west marsh]

^

I already have multiple shinies of these guys so I’ve just been casually catching

[tropic narwhal]

I do that, so my question still stands

[west marsh]

How many spawns are you getting on average ?

I’ve gotten about between both days of minimal play I guess 500? I only have 12 shinies

[tropic narwhal]

At least 15 Pokemon every time I visit the PokeStop across the street of my house

[glad rover]

I’ve only gotten 3 as you can see above

[charred rapids]

bro everything that's spawned near me in the past half hour immediately flee before I could even see what the hell it was

[analog steeple]

It’s also comm day weekend @tropic narwhal so the odds are boosted for previous comm day mons

[glad rover]

Make that 4 since I just found a shiny Eevee that was right next to Cliff

[charred rapids]

bro I tried to add tags to ally regional forms but clicked the wrong button and transferred all of them instead

i genuinely may be stupid

[twilit sapphire]

Also playing during CommDays you get either crazy lucky or awful rng

[twilit sapphire]

You get asked before transfering that if you're sure so that may be your own fault

[charred rapids]

yeah I know, I wasn't paying attention lmao

[tropic reef]

i got all the comm day shinies so far

im tryna evo the gabite pignite and dewott rn

[glad rover]

And now it’s over for me, so back to ice types. Need to build up candy to evolve my Vanillish

[tropic reef]

same

just ended 11 minutes ago for me

really wouldve liked finishing getting my shiny emboar samurott and garchomp

i was close to getting my garchomp and samurott done

sad

[solar rampart]

Got a shiny porygon from a raid with a friend

[stoic grove]

Anybody get a shiny swablu for community day?

[charred rapids]

I got one yesterday

also got gible, Eevee, oshawott, and Shinx yesterday + snivy and another gible today

[solar rampart]

I got so many shiny gibles yesterday

[twilit sapphire]

Only one yesterday, one from very long ago and the rest during the respective day

[inland ermine]

I really wanted that one! I've hatched so many and caught soany yesterday I for sure thought I would get one

[tropic reef]

ya

2 if u wanna trade for one in home

[stoic grove]

It's alright I found someone that will trade one when we are ultra friends, but I'll add you as a friend

@tropic reef

[tropic reef]

ok

but are they close to u?

the distance for pogo trading is within 100 meters

[stoic grove]

Yeah

[tropic reef]

ok

[charred rapids]

so in the collective 12 hours the event went on, at least half of the shinies I found were in the last ten minutes

[tropic reef]

pog

i also found like 3 shiny oshas today

[odd glade]

Should I pure for an hundo mega or leave it like this?

[glad rover]

Aren’t Shadow Pokémon stronger the lower their stats are?

[tropic reef]

i dont think so

im preety sure they jut get a stat boost

but imo the higher ivs and cp would help more

[odd glade]

Ye but mega is ignoring shadow boost so I dunno what to do

[tropic reef]

i say purify

[odd glade]

Oh I misread, I mean in general (inoring gbl which I'm noob at and not really doing) better stats are working the same for shadow and non-shadow mon?

[hasty obsidian]

Shadow mons have 20% more damage but also receive 20% more damage (I think those were the numbers, someone correct me if they're wrong). Which makes even a 0% shadow mon better than a 100% non-shadow of the same mon (for PvE at least), not sure how this would compare to megas tho if you plan to use it for that

[odd glade]

I don't think I will use a non mega obamasnow at all (shadow and non shadow) so I guess imma purify it?

But ye maybe should compare mega obama to a shadow one

[lucid frigate]

Better to purify it if you plan to use it for mega

For pvp, keep it shadow

And without mega, dont use it for raids

[odd glade]

okok thanks @lucid frigate

Is there away to get a remote raid pass back if the game crashes

[radiant vigil]

you can log a ticket with niantic, they usually give you back the pass if you complain

[tranquil folio]

Okay

[opal forge]

Anyone have a friend referral code for PoGo? I got locked out of my account and niantic is impossible to work with - making a new account

[slow warren]

Can use my code, PRBFV2PPD 😄

[opal forge]

I’ll add you too!

[slow warren]

Sounds good to me 😄 ty

[mossy bolt]

Yo could someone give us something free to make a lucky trade my trainer code is 5317 2346 4257

I really want to make a lucky trade

If u want to trade me DM me or add me

[glad rover]

Trading is only local Xottic

There’s no way to have anyone here give a Pokémon in a trade that could possibly become a lucky Pokémon, unless they’re right next to you

Omg so sad looking

Enjoying the 3x catch on an easy excellent mon

At least Voltorb made an effort to redeem itself

First holiday Spheal and now a community day for it, they’re giving Spheal a lot of love lately

[flint wind]

[final tulip]

3x catch exp

[torn arrow]

if I'm not level 40 by Monday 17th January 2022, I will be a bit disappointed with myself

I'm just over halfway through level 38 (~1,800,000/3,000,000) and level 39 to 40 is 5,000,000xp

that's about 6,200,000xp

[tropic reef]

thats

[torn arrow]

possible new year's boosts along with christmas boosts (i think) and immense tryharding should get me across the line into level 39 just after the new year

[tropic reef]

alot

[torn arrow]

I know it is

but I know I can do it

it's gonna be xp galore next month with the comm day

7200xp each catch is insane

during comm day

-remindme 672h am I level 40 yet?

oof rip command

welp I set the reminder for 666 hours in my private server

wish me luck

[crisp relic]

Jaysic has given 1 'General Rep' to Zzetti.

[inland ermine]

Thanks for posting

[faint ferry]

whats up with the rocket balloons? havent seen any spawn in a few days

[analog steeple]

I might’ve stole them from you. I’m getting them pretty frequently

[faint ferry]

[glad rover]

Hmm, just got an email telling me about my progress in Pokémon Go but everything’s basically all zeros since I guess what kept track of that for the email is bugged/broken

[radiant vigil]

sounds about right

[sterile arrow]

I have a question about whether a certain spawning of a slowbro on top of a slowpoke counts as bad or not.

[sterile arrow]

Never mind it was answered

[ornate condor]

Will an incense attract a weedle?

[inland ermine]

I think me and milotic were just abducted

[tropic reef]

weedle was a reward in one of the comm day tasksssss

the first one reward i think

oof

[rotund copper]

Oddly satisfying

[calm orchid]

What do blue rings under a Pokemon gym mean

*the

[radiant vigil]

i believe someone has powered up that gym, saw one last night

why it is off centre though, that annoyed me more

[calm orchid]

No it’s just I keep attacking the gym someone is constantly healing the Pokemon thought it meant there was someone near it

[tranquil folio]

So there’s a difference?

[radiant vigil]

they can remote berry to heal

[calm orchid]

Can they remote Berry the all the Pokemon

[radiant vigil]

yes, they can but there's a limit of 10 berries per pokemon every half hour

which still sucks best bet is to attack the same pokemon over and over until they hit that 10 limit

rather than going through the gym at once, cos you can lock them out at 10

[lucid frigate]

Left female, right male

[inland ermine]

I never even noticed that

[glad rover]

A lot of gender differences are really subtle. Like how Wooper’s whiskers are different for them, or how the hair tuft for Shinx is different for each gender

Tusk size for Piloswine and Mamoswine also come to mind

[steel bough]

are mega raids worth it? how much cp would one get after you defeat it? just want to know so i dont waste my pass lol

[radiant vigil]

I don't do them

I dislike the whole rental part of it

[charred rapids]

I’m banned from pogo

I can’t even open it till it kicks me out

[charred rapids]

Mega energy can be obtained through tasks anyway, new Mega’s will have their energy available after awhile through this process

[trim marsh]

Yall think I can solo a 22k glaceon raid?

[west marsh]

Essentially it’s only a T3. I’m able to solo. But it depends on your counters.

Who you’re using, What level they are, movesets, weather boosted by chance, etc

[inland ermine]

I didn't even notice any of that @glad rover but it has been a while since I played with any of those mons outside pogo

[inland ermine]

Why is spotlight hour in the busiest time of the day? Maybe they don't assume adult parents are playing I guess? Every spotlight hour had been at a kids game, during dinner, or during me being to tired from parenting I missed my favorite blue snowman

[glad rover]

So they’re finally releasing it to the public without being behind a paywall, hopefully

You got only a week to get it though

Also Galarian Mr. Mime counts for the dex entry for the Kanto dex so if you need that, I’d go for it

[west marsh]

Lol I feel that. We adjusted dinner for Spotlight and Raid hour to 5pm. Thankfully our oldest daughter loves car rides so normally an hour, give or take, in the car doesn’t kill her lol. Too young for sports games to be an interference but I’m sure we’ll be upset once that starts 😂

[glad rover]

Galarian Darumaka being shiny capable now is nice, well tomorrow

I probably would do the Timed Research for G Mr. Mime. My brother plays but I don’t think he’d enjoy trading Pokémon for a G Mr. Mime

[inland ermine]

You will be haha!! Every other mom will be taking pictures and you will secretly be making curveballs wondering if you should take pics too!! (My oldest is 9, so I try to do both experience makes a difference)

[west marsh]

Sounds like me one day

[stark narwhal]

I want that shiny Stantler worse than I’ve wanted any shiny so far I think lol

[fierce aurora]

Quick question, does anyone know why only certain gyms/stops are eligible for levels based on ar mapping and if that’s being extended to all poke stops soon? Thanks!

[sleek quarry]

Regice and Heatran 🤢

[twilit sapphire]

Not sure I think it's still too early to know much info since not many peeps are scanning, I'll give it a look later

[stark narwhal]

AR mapping just feels creepy from a software standpoint anyway. I’ll never do it

[fierce aurora]

Ah 👍 ty

[crisp relic]

This whole month looks awful

[final tulip]

the only good thing ig is mega aero

[faint badger]

shiny pokemon heh... if only i could get shinies out of comm days

[flint wind]

finally part 3 of mew research

[faint badger]

im still looking for 4 eggecute

and 3 whismur... and 70 feebas candy... and hoenn pokemon to spawn

god i hate events in this game where only 5 pokemon will ever spawn in the wild

[odd glade]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-vomit-luvicat-stupid-funni-gif-21439008

[fierce heath]

Heatran is kinda cool but regice?? Ewww

[torn arrow]

next month is very underwhelming

[analog steeple]

Pretty much the only good thing is comm day for the PvP nerds

[lucid frigate]

I also wanna get a shiny magnemite from power plant event, checked so many and no shiny

[analog steeple]

[tropic reef]

I wanna shiny hunt genesect but idk if ill be able to get enough raid passes sad

[analog steeple]

I think it’s locked so you’re good

[radiant vigil]

Another locked form with boring moves?

[rotund copper]

Yep

And we still got one more shiny locked Genesect form to look forward too

[twilit sapphire]

that sucks

i really wanted shiny genesect and couldn't raid when it was around

i actually think it's weird they're not releasing wormy giratina again

[glad rover]

Oh wow another Genesect that can’t be shiny how exciting

I seriously thought that with all the Unova themed raids lately involving legendaries that they’d bring back Tornadus and the rest in raids. I still need Tornadus and Landorus for that stupid Season of Legends research

[charred rapids]

NO WAY FREE INCUBATORS

[green hamlet]

<@&663761167176433665>

<@&663761167176433665>

[stark narwhal]

CAught a second shiny Delibird….Stantler plz

[glad rover]

Man they really make you work for Mr. Mime in the catching challenge. The friendship challenge I also could get a Mr. Mime from but that’s longer and maybe impossible for me to complete

Already got a Bergmite to so happy about that

[stark narwhal]

Missing one more unique ice type catch on the first stage of the catching challenge

[torn arrow]

which one do you have

[stark narwhal]

Bergmite, Cubchoo, Delibird, Swinub, Vulpix, Snorunt, Spheal, and Snover.

I’m sure I’ll see a sandshrew or A Darumaka

I popped an incense at work and just caught everything but that one

[tropic reef]

finally got a shiny from this event

a garbage abomasnow sad

[inland ermine]

Look at this. It had been almost 6 days like this. As team instinct I totally thought Niantic had removed the gym because instinct also had the gym right across from it and it changed within a few days LOL. I am thankful my glaceon did not get stuck

Loaded the kids up and had to go see it for myself

[glad rover]

Glaceon from 3 star raids will count so I’ll probably catch one of them

[fierce heath]

Well next month is relaxing and a chill time after the last 3 months being full of big event's

[woeful pulsar]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/new-year-2022/

[flint wind]

if youre lucky you may encounter fearow

[odd glade]

yay more hats... and glasses

[tight pilot]

Im honestly just hype for party hat wurmple in the wild, didnt get the shine when it was only in eggs last time

[flint wind]

how much you wanna guarantee only pika and slowpoke can evolve

and that im gonna get a high rank one that cant

[odd glade]

Time to evolve?

[flint wind]

cp is special

[odd glade]

I hope the Hoothoot can evolve

But it's not gonna happen right?

[flint wind]

probably not

[twilit sapphire]

@tight pilot Mitch, are you interested in doing a couple of mega obamasnow raids?

[flint wind]

if i had coins i would
finally got my char to level 40

[cerulean imp]

What do you get from mega raids other than the pokemon?

[flint wind]

energy and just normal raid stuff

so pretty much
this event is costume event and fearow

[cerulean imp]

Ah ok, guess im bettee to just wait until im lvl 40 then to get the energy

[twilit sapphire]

you can join a mega raid if your mons are around level 30-35 and have decent counters

[charred rapids]

I went to my local park to play Pokemon go and there's a swarm of 8yo kids on the play structure sacrificing each other to satan

i just want bergmites

[tropic reef]

Lol

[cloud steppe]

Anyone available to do some trades for the quest?

Just back and forth stuff

[west marsh]

Unfortunately trades have to be locally done

[cloud steppe]

Oh that’s no fun

How local?

[tight pilot]

I’m only like 5 hours late but i’d be down for a couple whenever although getting tons of energy from these event tasks ngl

[west marsh]

Within 100 meters

[cloud steppe]

Ok th am you!

Thank

[west marsh]

Yw

[faint ferry]

still havent seen a rocket balloon in probably more than a week now

[fossil basin]

My prem service just ran out. And im out of space for pokemon in go

Welp i havr money for more storage so i just bought more

[stark bluff]

Oi
You people are probably smart
I linked Home and Go to the only Nintendo account I have, but it's acting like they're two separate things. is. is there a fix. how do fix

[inland ermine]

Merry Christmas, Aussies🎄

[radiant vigil]

indeed Ty!

[flint wind]

Do any of you know the who Alopecie907, Damion991, or NoeA87 is? If i can coordinate a lucky egg friendship level up with any one of them I can make it to lvl 40

[tight pilot]

NoeA is @fading oak ‘s son don’t know the other two tho

[thorn steppe]

I've been not as active recently (Series X came into my life XD ) But...Merry Christmas for tomorrow everyone!!:D

[cloud steppe]

Whoever here is Sunflora, thank you I caught a shiny Kyurem!!

[charred rapids]

Can the holiday stantler be shiny?

[flint wind]

yep, it can

[charred rapids]

Yay

What about in the raids?

[flint wind]

yep

[torn arrow]

i feel like I should drop my friend code since im decently active here

gonna put it in #pogo_friend_codes as I should

[glad rover]

Alright just need to catch 5 more ice types and I’ll have a Galarian Mr. Mime. Should be easily done soon

Anyone know what the evolution requirement is to get Mr. Rime? Regional Galarian Evolutions seem to always have a weird requirement except Obstagoon

[torn arrow]

just have 50 candies

that's literally it lol

[glad rover]

Well I got 40 and if I catch G Mr. Mime with a Pinap Berry I’ll have 46. Shouldn’t be too much. Honestly surprised there’s no weird requirement when things like the catch 30 psychic/poison type or win 10 raids requirements exist

[fossil basin]

i serious wonder if the shiny odds are boosted on chirstmas eve or day.

[twilit sapphire]

they aren't, or i'd have gotten the dumb bird since first year kekw

[tropic reef]

medium event

thats gonna help me find shiny snorunt

hopefully

[white gulch]

What iv checker does most iPhone users use since calcy iv isn't available

[twilit sapphire]

i think pokegenie is there

[white gulch]

Is there a app that scans wilds like calcy for iphones?

[twilit sapphire]

not sure, too poor to have iphone

[white gulch]

My sister has one just trying to find a app that scans wilds

[inland ermine]

Why?

[slow warren]

Vibrava has a lower atk stat than trapinch so the cp goes down

[inland ermine]

this is 4* trapinch

[slow warren]

It'll increase again when you get it up to flygon, but thats just how Cp is weighed toward atk stat

[inland ermine]

Oh that stuff okay whew. I appreciate you

[glad rover]

Got my Mr. Rime so I’m happy now

[ivory halo]

Do you ever want to battle in the GBL but you have to discard items/Pokémon to play?

[analog steeple]

Literally always

[lucid frigate]

For me, its having to catch those annoying encounters

Ive gotten a few shiny legends from it, but most of the time they’re a nuisance

Like it just wanna do another set, not was tens of ultra balls on a damn 2* useless legend

[torn arrow]

no

[flint wind]

level 40
and got my favorite shiny!

YOOO and a nundo pikachu!

[glad rover]

I still need 500 thousand to get to level 36. Then after that more months of waiting

I could open gifts up friendships but it gets a bit annoying since I always have to make room in bag every few boxes

[cloud steppe]

So do I have to just catch all those ice types to do the winter wonderland challenge or do I have to trade for them?

[torn arrow]

you need to trade

[cloud steppe]

Trade them or for them?

[torn arrow]

you need to have then traded to you

[cloud steppe]

Ok thanks!

[hearty lance]

is trading only local?

[stark narwhal]

40 km right now

[earnest wind]

Snorunt doesn't wanna show up and my gf can't trade it with me lol

[charred rapids]

there's a certain christmas gift i wanna brag about here

[glad rover]

How does that work exactly?

[charred rapids]

from what i've read in the app store reviews and from the back of the box, it's supposed to link to your pokemon go account and automatically catch pokemon and spin pokestops for you

though the QR codes for the app store and google play that let you download the app both seem to take you to the app store

apparently the app hasn't been updated in at least 3 years either and it's really janky

[faint badger]

yeah

you link it and it auto spins pokestops and catch pokemon

[charred rapids]

seems like it has to be paired every time you open the app

some people have had problems where it just catches one pokemon then stops working entirely, and you have to close and reopen everything for it to repeat the process apparently

[faint badger]

yep 3rd party

[charred rapids]

gotta say, it's pretty damn low quality

[faint badger]

yep 3rd party

[charred rapids]

3rd party moment

[faint badger]

for nintendo its like the only thing ill buy mainbrand of

for my ps4, i buy offbrand controllers, but for my switch i got a pro controller bc of nintendos stuff

[odd glade]

damn grats you will enjoy it for sure ^^

[faint badger]

i bought myself the pin auto catcher from pokemon

mainly cuz that was like 25 bucks and a pokeball plus is about 60

[flint wind]

my gotcha evolve is great for me

[glad rover]

So do you guys think I should transfer my Shiny Kyurem from last night into Sword?

[flint wind]

really depends on where you use it more

[glad rover]

Well is Kyurem any good in Pokémon Go PVP or PVE?

[charred rapids]

tbh i might just return mine simply because of how the one i got seems to function according to reviews

[flint wind]

it took a few days to work fine. maybe its because i got the evolve version (more expensive) that mine works smoothly. only thing is its a bit slow to notice pokemon when you start it up, but once it gets going its amazing.

[flint wind]

only thing its looking forward to is fusions
otherwise its terrible

[glad rover]

Got it. There are those fusion dex entry holders so the fusions might come eventually so I’ll probably wait for that then.

[lucid frigate]

Kyurem black will be the only relevant form

The other 2 seem pretty useless

[final tulip]

why is that?

isn’t it a stat clone with white kyurem

[gilded rune]

L

[inland ermine]

@west marsh BFF?

[lucid frigate]

Kyurem white has worse moves

By a fairly significant margin

[glad rover]

The Yellow team can’t be that forgettable but still funny

[obtuse crow]

I’m actually the yellow team. We fighting for our lives out there to get just one gym 😅

[inland ermine]

Went out of town for the Christmas weekend and there is yellow everywhere!😍

[lucid frigate]

I remember this one meme but i cant find it

[obtuse crow]

Love that 💛💛💛

[inland ermine]

Me too! I dropped several off, left my mark!

[west marsh]

Hm? Are we getting close or?

[inland ermine]

Super close. Just go ahead when you get ready. Ign jess4mylittles @west marsh

[west marsh]

Did you want to coordinate an egg?

[inland ermine]

Nah! Just whenever, I'm too forgetful for coordination

[ivory halo]

That's not a glitch, it is the Instinct inquisition. ( No one expects it )

[obtuse crow]

Yes!! Small but mighty

[ivory halo]

Indeed! I too am an instinct member.

[obtuse crow]

Same. Love it. I chose because of Zapdos

[ivory halo]

Zapdos may be construction paper compared to the other Kanto birds, but no 4x weakness to rock. And realavent in almost every metagame.

[obtuse crow]

To me it’s which design I like more 😅

Zapdos > Articuno > Moltres

[arctic gull]

Anyone willing to help me with trade challenge?

[glad rover]

Trades are only local in the game Endeavor

[torn arrow]

depends on if someone is within 40km of you

[gilded rune]

Anyone know what the mon encounter is with the Pokemon holiday tasks

[river bobcat]

The trade tasks?

[wise kraken]

Which tasks? The ones with catching ice pokemon and sending gifts are both Galarian Mr. Mime iirc

[gilded rune]

ye that's what I attempted to ask kek

poggers @wise kraken

[crisp relic]

chili’s has given 1 'General Rep' to 🖤Courtney🤍.

[inland ermine]

Some dude, following me around trying to fight me the day after christmas

[tropic reef]

I got a perfect galarian mr mime from collection challenge rn lol

[wise kraken]

Grats!

[white gulch]

Lf someone to trade for the collection challenge
6893 5704 9714

[torn arrow]

trades have a distance of 40km in this event

so you need to post your general location to coordinate a long-distance trade

[sleek quarry]

Anyone have experience with Shadow Zapdos? I got a 15/14/14 for Master League, but it's an expensive build an I'm hesitant

[flint wind]

even if you dont use it for ml, its a great raid attacker
to be the optimal version, it will need an etm for thunder shock

dont know how it performs in ml, but it loses hard to dialga and other dragons. im assuming the top things it would shred are kyogre (if you shield blizzard) and togekiss

[inland ermine]

Found a pretty regional mon

[flint wind]

corsola is a

[inland ermine]

Yes

[flint wind]

cant wait until shiny comes out

but i hope it doesnt take as long as heracross to find

[glad rover]

I think the shiny was released for it, or the release I think was postponed since it was supposed to be released in a ticketed event in Japan that was canceled

[flint wind]

havent seen any gyms with it or found any

[flint wind]

i managed to find a 0 15 15 before i found a shiny
it was over great league cap so it was rank 2 not rank 1

[glad rover]

So yeah the release was postponed then since that exclusive ticketed event was canceled

Have yet to see Heracross’s shiny but I might find a pink one eventually

[flint wind]

i caught mine with my gotcha the first day i got it
was a bit iffy on the gotcha until i saw the in the pc

[odd glade]

Will it be boosted in the Johto tour? I forgot 👀

[tropic reef]

how long does the 40 km trade distance last

[west marsh]

Til the 27th I believe

Now the exact time I’m unsure of

[tropic reef]

ok

[analog steeple]

I think shiny comes out Johto tour since the Japan event was cancelled

Still not really seeing a reason to get the tour ticket. Shiny mew was hard to pass but so far the best for johto is…..?

[glad rover]

Yeah, because so far a normal shiny locked Celebi with an “exclusive” move is their biggest selling point and that definitely is not enough motivation for me

[flint wind]

unless its a busted move like aura sphere then nah for me

[glad rover]

Yeah and they already made Shiny Celebi happen to celebrate the premiere in Japan and Shiny Celebi in general is more easily obtainable then something like shiny Mew

[mortal root]

a guarenteed shiny corsola or the debut of galarian corsela would be better

[glad rover]

But even then the Johto Tour ticket is $11.99 so I wouldn’t spend that much money on a Corsola of all things

[gilded rune]

niantic....

[twilit sapphire]

DRIP

[radiant vigil]

I guess shiny mew is pretty hard to top

[faint ferry]

took me like 6 months to get the last 10 dragons for the shiny mew quest...

just cause there wasnt anything to spawn

[torn arrow]

well there were a ton of dragons (mainly dratini) earlier this month...

[glad rover]

And Dieno’s still the weekly research breakthrough reward

I mostly need fairy types and rock types for the Shiny Mew research. Fairy types are a little less common for me

[inland ermine]

When you're in a nice place and people don't immediately knock you out of gyms. This is just in a 1 mile radius of me. Headed home soon to be hunted down by mystic

[odd glade]

I bought a ticket because I had a lot of fun in the kanto tour regardless of the shiny mew. I doubt they will offer a reward that will even be even to the shiny mew in the masterwork research, but it will be interesting to see what they are planning.

[analog steeple]

Good point. I definitely had a blast with the kanto tour that weekend! Lot of locals out and about together and I got to meet a lot of my local scene

[stark narwhal]

Especially since most of us already have shiny Celebi

[torn arrow]

I am not part of that most of us

sadly

[charred rapids]

do you really have to be at the same place for trading? or is there a way around it

[gilded rune]

You have to be within 40km of the person your trading w iirc

they changed it recently but I feel like it's 40km

[charred rapids]

ok thx

[west marsh]

It’s normally 100m

They increased it for a limited time

However it’s back to 100m

[stark narwhal]

I thought the distance was until the new year?

[charred rapids]

Finally

[west marsh]

Unfortunately it was till the 27th 1pm EST

[stark narwhal]

I’ve got a spam account I can use so eh.

[loud nest]

I don’t see a thread for pogo trading so if this is misplaced, I apologize; I am looking for a weedle, any stats or cp. just need it for research goal completion.

[flint wind]

The problem with pogo trading is that you need to be really close (100 meters i think) for a trade.

[loud nest]

Ofc you do

[gilded rune]

Ye kinda dum

[leaden mantle]

honestly maybe urged to make a pogo alt with blue stack on my pc just to do the trade challenges

[near fiber]

Anyone has a parasect I need one for my pokedex

Bruh I just discovered this split screen shit what

[radiant vigil]

you found the android alting secret

[twilit sapphire]

oh no our secret found

[cerulean imp]

How do you do that?

[sleek bane]

@west marsh plan a day for bestfriend? We are 2 days from it and been for awhile 🙂

[west marsh]

@sleek bane I have a day picked out for Wednesday during my raid hour because I have a few that day - but I now we are not in the same time zone unfortunately

[sleek bane]

I can just sit up for your raidhour. Shpuld be doable. I think.. 🥲

[west marsh]

We can hold off until another day too! I’m sure I can find a time to pop one earlier the day. I don’t want to keep you up

I should have a bunch of people coming up soon since I had a massive adding on December 5th. If you want to wait a few more days/up to a couple of weeks?

[sleek bane]

Aye can wait. Im fine with either. And if we cant get it on time then, u can just open and let me know u did, and i just pop an egg when i wake up or something. Just dont wanna screw u over for that juicy xp when it can be planned sort of 🙂

[dusty oracle]

https://thesilphroad.com/science/mythbusters-part-3-event-decay

Somewhat unsurprising, but should put rumours to bed.

[inland ermine]

👀

Show me de wey

[tropic reef]

ayo what how tf do u do that

[tight pilot]

^ only avail on android btw guys

[odd glade]

wait how

It won't let me log to 2 accounts in the same phone

[hasty obsidian]

You have to clone the app if your phone is able to

[odd glade]

I mean I can split but it won't let me log twice... unless I log out first? 👀

If it's really gonna work you guys changed my pokemon go life forever lol

[inland ermine]

Dis me

[slow warren]

IF you're on a samsung, you can download Pogo once on google play store, and another time on samsung galaxy store and they count as seperate apps.
Another way is using one in a secure folder I believe

[crisp parrot]

Can somebody please post the obamasnow picture here? I heard from somebody that it was a funny picture

[slow warren]

[crisp parrot]

Haha nice. My day is complete

Thanks

[slow warren]

pinnacle of art 🙂

[crisp parrot]

Haha true. Mona lisa of pokemon

[torn arrow]

please explain the secure folder method further for me

[twilit sapphire]

you should probably take that to DMs

[cerulean imp]

How do you get xl candy?

[west marsh]

You have to be level 40+

But the ways to obtain are; trading, catching, converting, raiding, hatching, walking your buddy

It’s like any other way of getting normal candy but XL just aren’t always guaranteed unless you are catching legendary, mythical, or evolved form pokemon

[cerulean imp]

Thanks, does it only show up when you have some rather than saying 0?

[west marsh]

Yes so it’ll only show if you actually get it. So it’ll be between 1-5. But expect mostly just 1.

[slow warren]

Sorry im not quite sure how it works I just heardof it 😦 a quick searchmight help though

[cerulean imp]

Thanks for the info @west marsh

[crisp relic]

fergoosee has given 1 'General Rep' to SamiSamsterz.

[west marsh]

Of course

[inland ermine]

Pogo frans I got a switch oled for chriatmas this means I can get back to regular Pokémon games now. Please don't delete me if we are close to ultra or best friends!! Or if we raid hard together. Cause I will be on. Just not near as much.

My ign is jess4mylittles

Thanks so much for all the fun and help from everyone

[charred rapids]

I'm getting a bunch of ads for a Pokemon go joystick app on youtube and there's nothing I can do about it

[glad rover]

YouTube does that when you Google search certain things. After I bought the Mario 3D All Star collection I’d get ads for people selling physical copies on EBay. Happens when you’re browsing tech based products

Which is dumb but can’t turn that off because you know it’s YouTube

[charred rapids]

Can vanillite be shiny?

Or is it not released yet?

[hasty obsidian]

not released iirc

[charred rapids]

?

Oh wait

Man that sucks

I want my bubblegum ice cream cone

[glad rover]

Yeah I don’t even think Snorunt’s shiny has been released since I’ve seen a lot of them for this event but none have been shiny

Glalie and Froslass don’t really have great shinies though. Since Glalie gets red eyes, and Froslass’s sash gets a bit lighter

[tropic reef]

I saw someone get one on yt

Guess we both r just getting unlucky

[charred rapids]

It is my friend got it

[analog steeple]

It’s been released

I faced one in PvP

[lucid frigate]

I evolved my first one into glalie, it was a female and right before froslass released

Got a second one but it was male

[sleek quarry]

It exists 🥶

Oops, didn't mean to @ you

[glad rover]

Seriously each person doesn’t need to @ me more the once. I believed the first person that told me

[analog steeple]

It was two people mate

But yeah my b. Always forget to turn that damn @ off

Wish I could make the reply feature set the @ to auto off

[glad rover]

It was four

But yeah I wish they would implement something like that to

[analog steeple]

Would be nice for folks like me who fat finger reply

[tranquil folio]

Does anyone know what today’s like special spawn is since it’s Wednesday

[lucid frigate]

Todays a raid hour, not a spotlight hour

So more legendary raids will be spawning

[fallow helm]

I swear without seeing this emoji every time I see abomasnow I think obamasnow

I appreciate I’m not the only weird person who though that when I see it

[torn arrow]

[gilded rune]

100m trade distance I think 🥶

[serene quartz]

Man’s never read rule 3 huh

[oblique ridge]

[rotund copper]

Oh my god

Fog

it exists

[twilit sapphire]

oh yes, it looks so cool but it's so rare

[faint badger]

try living where i do lmao

its foggy almost every days but no fog

always windy or cloudy

[stark narwhal]

So I didn’t know Maractus was even was in the game until I stopped off the interstate in Florida today

[small mason]

[lucid frigate]

They have maractus in florida but not somewhere like arizona

[charred rapids]

Hello I had a question about regional exclusives

I’m currently on vacation to curaçao (tropics) with my family and I got corsula and marcactus (multiple of both ) but haven’t managed to find heracross I was just wondering if there’s a reason I cannot or do I have to look harder ?

[radiant vigil]

Might just also be drowned out by current event spawns unfortunately

When I was in new Zealand I couldn't find a relicanth and I was staying near the water lol

[charred rapids]

Awe, do you think it will be better tomorrow since it’s a new event ?

[west marsh]

Tomorrows event ends at 8pm local but they New Years event starts at 10pm local.

So you might get lucky in that 2 hour difference but unfortunately it might be slim.

Either way you’ll probably see more event spawns than normal spawns like heracross.

Good thing is mega heracross still needs to come out so we might see him in raids again globally or via remoting

[glad rover]

Yeah I see Maractus in this state quite often, the shiny isn’t even out for it but its CP can get pretty high like Heracross or Pinisir

[odd glade]

damn USA has so many regionals :|

[radiant vigil]

ikr

[odd glade]

Please don't make the colors region locked

[twilit sapphire]

vivillon pain

[torn arrow]

they will be region locked, like in x and y

they just will

I don't have proof, but knowing niantic, they will have them locked

[torn arrow]

also those are flabebe, which evolve into florges, there is no scatterbug or spewpa in the pic i think

[twilit sapphire]

i didn't even say that those were vivillon

i just said vivillon pain, im not confusing mons (also please don't ping me it's 5 am for me )

[rustic nova]

6 shiny snover across 2 accounts during this event

[glad rover]

I really hope they aren’t. They might make it a capture challenge to get one of each if they aren’t regionals

[stark narwhal]

AHHHHHHHHHHH

This vacation in Florida rules

[west marsh]

Maybe they’ll make them seasonal based? Like deerling? Maybe??

[glad rover]

Apparently Hoothoot’s shiny was just released into the game so keep an eye on that owl now

[lucid frigate]

It does, but all the special ones are on the east coast, so anyone in the midwest and west of the US just get screwed over too

[steel bough]

honest answers
can someone who only have a 1 star 3k+ cp metagross, 3k+ cp dragonite
hundo 3k+cp zekrom and a bunch of reshirams can solo a machamp raid with 20k cp?

dragonite is 3 star

the reshirams are also 3 stars

[west marsh]

Hmmm.

I remember way back in the day I struggled even with prime counters. But that was also YEARS ago…

[steel bough]

i was making sure so i dont waste my pass lmao
luckily i found people to help me

[lucid frigate]

Most of those dont do super effective damage so likely not

In case for the future

[glad rover]

Alright so I just finished the task to catch 151 different Pokémon for Shiny Mew. Now I just need to catch a bit more for the rest and I can move onto part 3

[ornate condor]

Hey will trading gibles give me more gible candy?

[gilded rune]

trading them away gives you 1 candy aside from events so it's the same as transferring iirc

Don't quote me on that

[hasty obsidian]

you can get up to 3 based on the distance between the pokemon being traded

so if you trade that gible with a pokemon from a very long distance you can get mroe candies than regularly transferring

I believe there was also a bonus that gave you +1 while trading but not sure if it's still around or gone

[gilded rune]

But the max distance is like 100m the distance idrk

[hasty obsidian]

yeah, but if you trade with someone locally who has a pokemon that's caught in a big distance from where gible was caught, it works

7km eggs make this very accessible since their location is the one of the stop from where the person sent you the gift you received it in

[untold light]

Lets goooo

[radiant vigil]

Not even in dex is the more impressive part

[untold light]

Yeah first encounter haha

[lucid frigate]

Its what ya call the casual luck

[radiant vigil]

Pogo r u ok

[torn arrow]

slowpoke is a bit slow atm

give him some time, he still thinks it's 2020

[gilded rune]

[river bobcat]

Is there ever a reason not to purify a shadow mon?

[slow warren]

Yeah, basically any really good mon you dont want to purify

They do 1.2x more damage I believe, but take 1.2x more damage in return. However their total output is much better than normal mons, so try to avoid purifying high iv/good shadow mons

[faint ferry]

@slow warren gonna be opening the gift shortly

[slow warren]

😮 Sounds good to me, thanks!

[faint ferry]

+1.2m exp...

Still like 4 people sitting on 1 gift from best friends who've been inactive for weeks...

[slow warren]

damn nice
But oof hopefully the get back

I'm 39 right now so tryna power through to 40 😄

[faint ferry]

Same lol, 3.2m to go

[slow warren]

Good luck 😮

[cerulean imp]

When is there a new 5 star raid pokemon? Has it changed today?

[glad rover]

Kyurem’s around for a little longer and then Heatran comes around or Regice. Not sure which comes first

[cerulean imp]

Ah ok, need the next one

[stark narwhal]

It’s a good day for some football!

[fallen coral]

Any Pogo tips!? I kinda suck at the game LMAO

[west marsh]

What are you seeking help for? 👀

[knotty ice]

LF trade: Grimer and/or Exeggcute
Msg if you want to trade 🙂

Oh wait you have to be close to trade F

[odd glade]

I have that one virtual friend that's ignoring my messages for like weeks for coordinating an egg before going best friends. Should I just open her gift at this point? o.o

[glad rover]

Since this new year’s the Year of the Tiger, when Chinese New Year comes around do you think the game will have a celebration, maybe even release Incineroar/Gen 7 into the game? They’re probably the only Pokémon that instantly comes in mind for me to be tiger related

[odd glade]

Raikou in the opening screen in a reference to the Year of the Tiger

[flint wind]

new raikou move maybe
aura sphere

[glad rover]

Oh right I guess that makes sense then, Incineroar would be a good bonus though. Since for year of the Ox they had timed research involving Tauros and Miltank (which I thank every day since that’s how I got a Tauros)

[flint wind]

I somehow got a shiny tauros from that research
Dont got to go on vacay and grind for one (i did accidentaly encounter one shiny in NC too )

[ornate condor]

I just got a New Years slowpoke

And why does it have 2020 glasses?

[hasty obsidian]

Because it's slow

Still in 2020 for slowpokes

[ornate condor]

I evolved it

[faint badger]

can the game please stop having events every day i need pokemon but the only ones spawning are events and its annoying

[west marsh]

I do agree, having event after event can be annoying. After this event ends on the 4th you’ll have roughly 3 days in between before the next one starts on the 7th. And then unfortunately after that another event will start 6 days after that one finishes.

[brave dome]

Uh... is this supposed to happen?

[west marsh]

No lol. Just a glitch. There’s always a few like that for someone out there

[brave dome]

All the pikachu have their textures and animations missing

And raichu is kinda messed up

[west marsh]

😂 some weird glitch lol

[torn arrow]

I don't think raichu is doing too good

[west marsh]

He’s been Impaled

[brave dome]

Huh guess its just my app that's doing just traded it and its normal

[faint badger]

i need 5 eggecutes... well spawn me them when i use mossy lures?

its so hard to do challenges now days \

[bitter granite]

Hey what is the Giovanni research rn

[bitter granite]

Ikr

I started during the Christmas event and I had like a one day window to catch non-event Pokémon

[dusty oracle]

No, Exeggcutes won't spawn off Mossy Lures. (Except by the offchance that it pulls Exeggcute as one of the wild spawns, which is highly unlikely, and not worth gambling on.)

Your best bet is to wait until Easter, which will definitely have Exeggcutes, wait for a rocket rotation so that shadow Exeggcute is in grunts, or wait for Alolan Exeggutor to be back in raids.

[tropic reef]

rarest mon is a shiny lucky perfect mewtwo

[tropic reef]

what would the special research give

[west marsh]

Nah this is not rarest haha

[tropic reef]

what is then

mewtwo isnt even possible to get anymore i dont think

[tropic reef]

adding on purified

thats atleast one of the rarest

[west marsh]

Other pokemon are more rare

Shiny Pikachu Libre in terms is more rare than that

[tropic reef]

libre is in pokemon go?

[charred rapids]

Yea

[tropic reef]

o i did not know that

huh

[charred rapids]

Idk how you get it

[west marsh]

Only from GBL rank .. ace?

It’s a high asf rank lol

I confirmed with an infographic

It’s legend rank

[tropic reef]

in any season?

im close to legend rank this season

[west marsh]

Every season yes

[tropic reef]

o dam

thats hard to get

ok so the rarest shiny is shiny lucky perfect pikachu libre

[west marsh]

One of yes. I’d say armored Mewtwo is prettttttty rare

I couldn’t tell you which is the rarest but there’s quite a few very ver very rare out there

[ivory halo]

Time to grind...

[lucid frigate]

Ive gotten 4 libres and still no shiny lol

Not to mention getting to legend which is a whole process in itself just to get one libre per season

[hasty obsidian]

No info on that yet afaik

Also shiny detective pikachu is one of the rarest as well iirc

[lucid frigate]

Oh yea

[west marsh]

Oh yes definitely

[lucid frigate]

Was shiny locked for the event except accidentally unlocked when it started ending in some places i think so a very small window of time to get a shiny detective which was only from snapshot

[west marsh]

He might be the actual rarest

[lucid frigate]

Libre has a harder process but still available today and not left in a super tight window

[tropic reef]

thats the question

does anyone have a shiny lucky perfect detective pikachu

i doubt it

[west marsh]

There might be a person out there

I don’t do PvP and if I do I can only get to rank 10 lol. I want shiny libre but i need better pvp pokemon and more patience

[tropic reef]

i just wanna get to rank 20 in one season

so i can get legends without having to use raid passes

[west marsh]

Makes sense

[tropic reef]

im at rank 17 rn

i have to grind

when does next season start?

[hasty obsidian]

While lucky is a factor I wouldn't say it adds much rarity, since these trades can be guaranteed and you wouldn't even be the one who caught it, but that's just my opinion

[hasty obsidian]

Somewhere mid February I believe

[tropic reef]

off topic but somehow the first trade i ever did was a lucky

[hasty obsidian]

Nvm it ends on February 28

[lucid frigate]

Always rotates about the same with the regular PoGo seasons like season of mischief or season of heritage, but usually starts and ends a little earlier

[dusty oracle]

Shiny Purified Mewtwo is exceptionally rare, because it's unreleased.

[dusty oracle]

Exception being lucky Deoxys, which was available for a very very short time.

[ivory halo]

Just won 5 master league battles in a row.

[bitter granite]

What is the Giovanni research rn

[tropic reef]

it mightve changed but last ive seen it was the legendary birds

[torn arrow]

it was lugia

[bitter granite]

And to get it I need to beat all three of the people like cliff?

[torn arrow]

ye

[bitter granite]

Crap

[torn arrow]

cliff, arlo and sierra

[bitter granite]

I’ve only beat Sierra- twice

What’s the research gonna be called when I get it

[torn arrow]

good luck with the others

[torn arrow]

idk

[bitter granite]

Ok thanks what typing do they use

[tropic reef]

sierra and arlo are annoying

and i barely find cliff

[bitter granite]

Oh

Well

[torn arrow]

bruh cliff is 60% of all the rocket leaders I find

30% sierra

[bitter granite]

10% arlo

[tropic reef]

sierra is like 40 arlo is like 40 and cliff 20

[torn arrow]

and 10% Arlo, which is the one i was looking for

[bitter granite]

I was doing a machamp raid earlier and now I have to revive 9 Pokémon

[torn arrow]

I've got a shiny shadow gligar and a good shadow gliscor from him

[bitter granite]

And I lost btw

[torn arrow]

wait did you solo the raid

[bitter granite]

Cause I tried a 3 star raid when my best was 1523 cp

Maybe

[torn arrow]

you need pokegenie

[bitter granite]

What’s that

[torn arrow]

it's a third party app that lets you register your mons into the app, and it can give you the best teams for a raid, using what you have

[bitter granite]

Ohhh

[torn arrow]

you can also invite 5 other people to raids to make them easier

[bitter granite]

I would but I’ve got 3 friends

[torn arrow]

you are given 5 people, they friend you, you accept their request and then you invite them to the raid

[bitter granite]

Ohhhh ok

What’s your strongest Pokémon

[torn arrow]

watch a vid on yt on hosting raids on pokegenie and you'll figure it out quickly

[bitter granite]

Ok thanks

[torn arrow]

my highest CP mon is a Slaking with over 3400CP

[bitter granite]

Oh my friend has one with like 3390

[torn arrow]

most of the mons I use are around 2500CP

[bitter granite]

My best is a pyroar with 1599cp

[torn arrow]

I don't use Slaking in raids, it's not that good

[tropic reef]

my best is a kekrom wwith like 3150

[torn arrow]

kek

[tropic reef]

what ivs

[torn arrow]

I can't rember

and I cba to check

[bitter granite]

Rn I’m tryna get greninja but it’s hard to get 100 rare candies when I can only do masterball and I usually lose twice to dragonite or charizard or Mewtwo

[torn arrow]

like the Slaking is kinda just there, rotting away at the top of my boxes

[bitter granite]

Cause froakie like never spawns

[tropic reef]

im 1 candy away from greninja

[torn arrow]

don't do master league

if you don't have to

[bitter granite]

That’s the only league there

[torn arrow]

oh ok

[bitter granite]

It’s master league and master league classic

[torn arrow]

oh yeah the event league ended

[tropic reef]

classic is way easier imo

[bitter granite]

I do classic cause I feel like there’s less Mewtwo there

[torn arrow]

that's true

level cap is level 40 in classic but level 51 in open

[bitter granite]

51? Isn’t the max 50?

Or is it rank

[tropic reef]

no

51 for some reason

[torn arrow]

best buddying a mom gives you an extra level

hold on I gtg

[bitter granite]

I thought you were talking about trainer level and cya

[tropic reef]

all the professors names are trees

hmm

[bitter granite]

I was battling a dude and we both were pretty equally matched and he quit

[bitter granite]

If you’re telling me that I already knew that

[tropic reef]

no

im just saying

[bitter granite]

Alright

[tropic reef]

im telling no one

Hey RB

[tropic reef]

but dw people think theres gonna be a froakie comm day event some time this year

[charred rapids]

Looking for other teenagers to be friends with on Pokemon Go, no adults please! Message me for friend code, I send gifts!

[west marsh]

That’s a weird request ngl

[bitter granite]

K thanks

[crisp relic]

ScorpionTheSandwing has given 1 'General Rep' to RB12Gaming.

[prisma mantle]

Do we get a ribbon for transferring purified Pokemon from GO to Sword?

[tropic reef]

wait does anyone know what starters u can get in swsh other than alola and galar

[tropic reef]

no i dont thinks o

[prisma mantle]

Welp thanks anyway

[pulsar thunder]

Kanto and Hoenn

[final tulip]

cap is 41 in classic

[lucid frigate]

^only with best buddy tho

If you power up to 41 with xls then it will not be eligible

[radiant vigil]

They really want to make that johto tour appetising eh?

[west marsh]

I was wondering why I had it and a lot of my friends didn’t lol. Makes sense.

[tropic reef]

I hope hoenn tour is good reward

[glad rover]

Well they haven’t released Shiny Jirachi, so they might do that if they eventually do a Hoenn Tour

If they do a Hoenn Tour I’d hope they’d bring in the regionals into raids like they did the Kanto Tour.

They’ll probably do that for the Johto tour to, but I already have the complete Johto dex

[west marsh]

Hopefully by the Hoenn tour we’ll get our Kecleon lol

[stark narwhal]

The research looks kinda boring

Didn’t do kanto Tour so I probably won’t do this one either

[west marsh]

At least with Kanto Tour we got shiny Mew. This time it’s just a special move Celebi and I’m just like “eh….” But I participate in all the events they have that I can attend locally/within the US.

[stark narwhal]

Oh wow I hadn’t looked up the reward….that’s doo doo

[glad rover]

Well that Celebi is the reward for the basic research for the Johto Tour, the master work research that comes after completing it they have not disclosed a single detail about what the final reward for it is

[west marsh]

I hope it’s good lol

But regardless even if it was like a shiny…. Idk… like a basic Gen 2 Mon. Still participating haha.

The event in itself imo is 100% worth it. I hope to finally get my shiny spinarak

[glad rover]

I don’t know it feels kinda sketchy they’ve been pretty tight lipped about what the master work research will give you. Almost makes me think even they have no idea what to put for it. Master work research is called master work for a reason though, it will take a very long time to complete it since some people are still working on the last one (like me) for shiny Mew

[west marsh]

Hmm true. Hmm. I’m even more curious now what it could be.

[oblique ridge]

special move celebi doesnt sound that amazing

[radiant vigil]

If they're not announcing the master research upfront it makes me more sus. Like they're trying to buy you in on an unknown because maybe if you don't know you won't get it?

If they tell me it's shiny jirachi I'd buy it straight away

[oblique ridge]

||poketwo shiny jirachi? reminds me of someone...||

[radiant vigil]

Poketwo shiny jirachi is the only shiny jirachi I have

[oblique ridge]

maybe they want people to get hyped and make them buy it but thenit turns out to be pretty bad

in the end niantic is still getting money

[radiant vigil]

That's exactly what I'm thinking hehe

If it was actually good they'd tell us

[oblique ridge]

that means they know itll be bad

[radiant vigil]

[cosmic fractal]

After Johto tour add Kyogre

into raids

[west marsh]

That would be nice ngl

I want some XL candy. Actually bring back the whole trio lol

[analog steeple]

Feel like I haven’t seen kyogre since go fest?

Would be nice to get a good one

[cosmic fractal]

Bro all the raids since Giratina have been ass PVP wise

[analog steeple]

Yeah pretty much. Just some new shiny stuff and old mons

[cosmic fractal]

This month ass aswell

[lucid frigate]

Zekrom aint too bad for ML

Also resh and zek are good raid mons at least

Plus cresselia for gl and ul

[analog steeple]

Is Zek good for PvP? Only saw one before and was confused

[cosmic fractal]

Kuyrem is worthless for PVP, same goes with Heatran and Genesct

[analog steeple]

I don’t master league much so I’m a total newb to ML meta

[cosmic fractal]

Regice alright for UL

[analog steeple]

It also at my ice beam without shielding so I’m a lil biased

[cosmic fractal]

Get Melmetal , Luiga and Dialga and power up the hell out of them

[analog steeple]

I’m working with melmetal, groudon, togekiss. Ain’t the biggest fan of dialga but might work in lugia

[lucid frigate]

Zacian is extremely good in ml rn

[cosmic fractal]

I don't like ML

[analog steeple]

Got a hundo lugia sitting on the bench

[cosmic fractal]

In UL and GL i have a beast of team

[lucid frigate]

Has basically no hard counters

[analog steeple]

Can’t believe I didn’t raid this more when it was in rotations

[cosmic fractal]

Perfect GBL ivs

[analog steeple]

Stupidly fell for some comments online that said it’s meh and to wait for the other form

[cosmic fractal]

Giratina , Gengar and Empolean with Good PVP ivs

[analog steeple]

I do have a 13/15/15 zacian I might just give up and use

[lucid frigate]

Traded for giratina?

[analog steeple]

What do y’all do against gira?

[lucid frigate]

My only one is a 2 star

[cosmic fractal]

Ye

[analog steeple]

Nooo 😢

[cosmic fractal]

Got lucky

[lucid frigate]

Use xls and you complete overpower ul

[analog steeple]

Oh I more meant for ML haha

[lucid frigate]

Ah lol

[analog steeple]

In UL I run articuno and jellicent just for giratina

The joys of blasting it in the face with ice beam is just

[lucid frigate]

Any dragon breath user does pretty well against it

[cosmic fractal]

GL team is Nidoqueen , Raichu and Toxicraok with all good PVP ivs apart from Raichu, thats a 3 star

[analog steeple]

Alolan raichu or kanto?

[cosmic fractal]

Pvp ivs don't matter in ML so use it

[lucid frigate]

Ran azu double ghost during GL, the occasional shiftry was a pain in the ass tho

[wraith flame]

Can we change the in-game-name in pokemon go somehow?

[analog steeple]

Funny I’ve been seeing the opposite . Seems you want hundos for just about most ML stuff cause of mirror matches

[cosmic fractal]

Yes but i forgot how

[cosmic fractal]

Ye you want Hundos

[analog steeple]

But yeah running a 14/14/15 groudon and it’s doing just fine

[lucid frigate]

Most important is dialga tbh, a 14 atk dialga is a useless dialga

[wraith flame]

bcz I don't like my current name, it is:
<My Initials>IsSuperCool
for some reason it just irks me when the professor says that

[lucid frigate]

Think you get a one time change

[wraith flame]

what why only once this is unfairness

[lucid frigate]

Only explanation is that its niantic

[cosmic fractal]

Niantic should add all of Gen 7 and all of Gen 8

[wraith flame]

lol I searched online and someone reported to niantic that his account was hacked and changed the nickname, so he got second rename chance, now ofc I will not do that, that is a clear lie

oh also, I purchased a bag in the store bcz I have too many items but how do I kinda like equip it? I thought it auto-equips on buy but I still am not able to collect more items as my bag is out of space

and when I go to the store it is asking me to re-buy

that really sucks coz I had been saving a lot of pokecoins just for this purpose

[cosmic fractal]

Johto tour ass

Not getting it costs too much

[sleek bane]

A bagg-upgrade only provides 50 slots at a time. And yes they are pricy..

[wraith flame]

yes but I wasn't able to get even one item after buying the bag

[west marsh]

Were you more than 50 over?

Maybe it’s possible that could have been the issue?

Raids, first day spins, and leveling can do that. Or even these latest quest rewards that give you like 25 calls at once

[wraith flame]

hmm not sure

maybe I did collect many items it was like 1 month back when I bought

I just remember I still couldn't collect items the day I got it

now I don't know whether it was after collecting 50 or not

also raids are damn hard

[tropic reef]

I need to send gifts for the new yearsss

[twilit sapphire]

The baby is back

[woeful pulsar]

ew

[twilit sapphire]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/community-day-classic-bulbasaur-jan22/

[analog steeple]

Frenzy plant bulba again?

[twilit sapphire]

Yes

They ll probably do Squirtle too then later

[analog steeple]

[odd glade]

I mean... I was about to complain and then I've seen it's an extra CD

Could be nice to farm some XL's

I hope they are gonna do that eventually with all the past CD's

[analog steeple]

It’s pretty solid for PvP. I actually thought it was February’s comm day but nah a bonus one is pretty neat

Kinda curious why they’re doing two in a single month

[tranquil folio]

What about charmander 😞

[tropic reef]

Already been redone

Once so prolly later

[tranquil folio]

Noo all I want is a shiny charizard and now I gotta wait even longer

[odd glade]

iirc we also had magmar and electabuzz in the same month in the past

But im pretty sure they are doing it so both older and newer players will enjoy the CD's.
...and ye also for selling another special research ticket kek

[lucid frigate]

Tbh there was no other move to give venusaur (ground coverage would just be like meganium), and frenzy plant is its best move anyway so…

[final tulip]

they could give it earth power

but idk how good that might be

[flint wind]

already got shinies and hundo
but no e charged tm for it so the hundo knows petal blizzard

[lucid frigate]

Rip lol

Well time to get to rank 19 in gbl then

[twilit sapphire]

ew

[tranquil folio]

Bruhh

[oblique ridge]

[twilit sapphire]

why would i want more charmander after all those past char days

[lucid frigate]

Beldum rerun pls

[oblique ridge]

how often would someone need to spend money on pogo

[twilit sapphire]

beldum WOULD be really nice

tho it's legacy move is more often around in events

[oblique ridge]

rn im about to get the $20 pokecoin bundle to get some pc for bag and mon space

[lucid frigate]

Can never have too much meteor mash

[oblique ridge]

mega-gross

[twilit sapphire]

idk i just buy mon space since somehow i always fill it

i have almost full 3850

[lucid frigate]

[oblique ridge]

getting pc should be easier in my opinion

the max is 50 per day right

[lucid frigate]

Getting some pokecoins for achievements or the medals would be reasonable

[twilit sapphire]

via gyms? yes

[winged vigil]

My guess is... money. As if Jotho Tour and Go Tour weren't enough. Plus all the pokecoin purchases a lot of people get.

[twilit sapphire]

there was some testing on gaining coins with task and other stuff in new Zealand last year

but we don't know what happened to it

[lucid frigate]

But nah, i get 200 wins in one of the pvp leagues and all i get is the ability to purchase clothing. Classic niantic

[oblique ridge]

niantic being niantic

[winged vigil]

It would be nice, but I heard they just did an incence event last year for it. So... not really sure if it's gonna happen

It'd be cool tho, as we just had Beldum Spotlight Hour

[lucid frigate]

Man that spotlight was so poorly scheduled

[winged vigil]

Oh, definitely... all of those. Specially Sableye and Beldum

[oblique ridge]

oh kyurem's in raids

[final tulip]

niantic this is what we need please

[lucid frigate]

For me, sableye was ok and i was able to get the xls to finish my great league one thankfully

[final tulip]

metagross is still the best steel type attacker and i don't have a single one

[lucid frigate]

I have a full team cause i made sure to get them during the og CD

[winged vigil]

Oh, pro. Missed a lot of CD's

[final tulip]

ready for regice then i assume

[oblique ridge]

i think i have a metagross with metor mash

[winged vigil]

Just did all of last year... ready for 2022

[lucid frigate]

Bagon rerun would also be nice, but i mostly want it back in leaders as a shadow

[winged vigil]

Wonder what exactly Go Tour will bring this year tho

Bagon would be nice, but I think they did an evolution or TM event last year for it, and also Dragonite I think

[lucid frigate]

Not really interested in the special move celebi, but i think ill still get the ticket

[lucid frigate]

Yea thats true

Mudkip rerun actually

[winged vigil]

Yeah, Johto legacy is cool. I meant the other. I think it'll be Kanto, but no much details been given about it

Mudkip. Such a beast

[lucid frigate]

Wanna max one hundo, have 2 so i can use one for both xl and classic ML

[winged vigil]

Haven't seen many counter for that... so, beast. Nice move

[oblique ridge]

im gonna start seeing more swamperts

and i dont have any grass mons to counter it

[winged vigil]

You will, if you catch some Bulbasaur during the event

[oblique ridge]

"if"

so what should venusuar's ivs be

[lucid frigate]

Dragonite walls swampert pretty hard
