[tropic reef]

hehehhe

i can give a shiny glameow in home

for it

[fading harbor]

Discord just made me sign in with my email when I was using my phone number and because I wasn’t using my email I had to make a whole new account

[ivory halo]

Travel planning Oshawott

[tropic reef]

spheal

[ivory halo]

Yes, Spheal too.

[wraith flame]

how do I link my pogo account to HOME? I don't even remember if I made a niantic or trainer club account xD

I don't remember my credentials either

[wraith flame]

wait a sec I don't get it... do I just need to send a pkmn to HOME to get melmetal in swsh, send a meltan to HOME to get the meltan and melmetal in SWSH, or send a melmetal to HOME from pogo to get a melmetal in swsh

(by "melmetal in swsh" I mean gmax)

[twilit sapphire]

yeah, basically

[wraith flame]

basically what?

I gave three choices so which one

1. like do I just send a random pokemon and get melmetal in swsh
2. do I send a meltan and get melmetal in swsh
3. or do I send a melmetal and get melmetal in swsh

[torn arrow]

just send over any rando mon

so the first option

[wraith flame]

so even if I send a magikarp I can get melmetal in HOME (via mystery box), and a mystery box in PoGo as well?

[torn arrow]

ye

the mon doesn't matter

[wraith flame]

everybody, magikarp is the best pokemon EVER! it allows you to get FREE MYTHICALS!!!

jk

[torn arrow]

yeah but so can smoochum

nobody likes smoochum

[wraith flame]

I sent my smoochums to power up jynx

honestly idk why

maybe to clear pokemon space who knows

[odd glade]

I think I know which starter you gonna pick in PLA...

[ivory halo]

Mhm

[wraith flame]

i am tied between oshawatt and cyndaquil 😦

[torn arrow]

it really do be like that

[gilded rune]

Lmao how did that happen

[tropic reef]

basically so if you send a random pokemon to home they give you the meltan box

in pokemon go

and also when you open the phone version of pokemon home you can claim a gigantamax melmetal im pretty sure

[charred rapids]

You want a Water/Dark or a Fire/Ghost? Cause those are the final evolution types

[spiral ledge]

Yo could anyone with a magikarp trade me? Im trying to get one for the mythical discovery quest thing

[charred rapids]

Still need 95 MC to evolve one I purified

It dropped from 400 to 360

Oh and MC is acronym for Magikarp Candy

[spiral ledge]

I have 219 Mc man 😢

[charred rapids]

I have about 265

My shinies in PoGo

I still need ghost types for the 11th step of Misunderstood Mischief though … about 9 more

[tropic reef]

same

i need like 12

[spark mountain]

https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/season-of-heritage-power-plant-event/

[twilit sapphire]

the baby is coming

oh it's one of those "delete Frustration from shadow mons" event

[torn arrow]

already

[final tulip]

thunder regice

also this is probably a good time to grind for magnemite and electabuzz xl candy

[torn arrow]

now that I'm level 40, that's now relevant

[fading harbor]

Can someone see if they can trade with me I need deerling or winter sawsbuck for Pokédex or to help evolve my deerling

[torn arrow]

trading

only if i spoof or I locate your address and trade with you

and we don't do spoofing here

[fading harbor]

You need my address to know m??

[torn arrow]

ig

but like

I'd rather not

what I'm trying to say is that you have to be physically close to the other person to trade

like you got your two game boys and a link cable

[fading harbor]

The game says 100 meters how long is that in feet or inches

[torn arrow]

328 feet

3937 inches

and since you wanted it in imperial (🤮) I can't even get to you

because im on the other side of the pond

[fading harbor]

Imperial???

[torn arrow]

feet and inches is imperial units

metres is metric (i.e world minus usa and canada)

[fading harbor]

Oh ok

[lucid frigate]

I need to get a shiny or hundo magnemite, maybe even a shundo

[torn arrow]

yeah you need one, your pfp is literally a magnezone with a mustache and sombrero

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

Pokémon go

[wraith flame]

confirmed?

[glad rover]

Nope, just rumors

[charred rapids]

Wait almost 10 days cause some people actually proved on YouTube the types

Hisuian variants are never wrong

[glad rover]

Yes the clickbait people who post shit just to get views

The game itself hasn’t been leaked at all like BDSP was so heavily leaked before release. I’m not believing a thing until it’s actually out

[ashen oxide]

Does anyone know when or if tornadus thundurus and landorus are coming back? I only managed to get landorus so I’m at a bit of a standstill on this

[charred rapids]

Won’t know until they announce the next lot of raid bosses, still have Regice to go after genesect

[final tulip]

and it's thunder regice too

[torn arrow]

fire blast registeel next?

I couldn't even get lando

at least I know to also grab tornadus and thundurus

[final tulip]

probably not

[torn arrow]

maybe fire blast on regirock then?

and then blizzard on registeel?

all three are 120 base power and 70 accuracy in the msg

[rotund copper]

Maybe it’s just thunder regice, thunder registeel, and thunder regirock

[tropic reef]

thunder registeel is like the only one that makes even a tiny bit of sense

kind of

[ashen condor]

Welcome to another episode of things I just figured out today: Poochyena booped the ball I threw at it and then my buddy booped it right back. Didn't know that could happen

[tight pilot]

Yup! Any buddy great level or higher will do that from time to time

[fading harbor]

Hey everyone

[hollow viper]

Shiny Plusle

Provided by Nexus-Z

[glad rover]

Wow that shiny is terrible but it’s in the spotlight hour so I’ll try and find one

[torn arrow]

#bot_commands please

[ivory halo]

Looks like I have a win rate of 57%, pain.

[fading harbor]

Why are there so many plusle I thought there was a bulbasaur event

[glad rover]

Plusle spotlight hour, Bulbasaur community day on Saturday

[fading harbor]

Ok thank you

Is there a shiny chance and if so what are the odds

[glad rover]

There is and normal Pokémon Go shiny odds. No boosted shiny odds for Spotlight hours

[fading harbor]

Ok

[untold light]

Which should i evolve first my first?

[tropic reef]

shiny

[west marsh]

Personally for me the perfect

[untold light]

If only metal coats were not so rare

[west marsh]

If you do your 7 day spins you’ll see them pop up occasionally

[glad rover]

The power plant field research looks nice. Going to have to try and find some pokéstops since if you get the one for walking 1 kilometer you’ll get Helioptile and if you get the field research to walk 4 kilometers you’ll get Emolga for that.

[odd glade]

No timed research for this event? o_o

[glad rover]

Doesn’t mention any on Serebii, just field research at the bottom of the page they made for the event

[tight pilot]

Pls no more trash emolga until they release the shiny

[odd glade]

oii who did you call trash

[odd glade]

No timed research for me. Now I can rest for 12 days thanks Niantic

[analog steeple]

I have a lucky one that’s totally useless

[final tulip]

remember when it was spawning in the wild but very rarely

[charred rapids]

very strange

[tight pilot]

Riiiight? And it seems every 10k i hatch is damn emolga i have like 400 candies for the thing

[rustic nova]

yo, for anyone who has the event started already, is magnemite spawning ?

[lucid frigate]

Yea

It hasnt started for me but its in the wild for the event

[rustic nova]

alr ty

[sleek quarry]

Yes, they're everywhere for me

[fading harbor]

Does anyone have a raid near them I need to do a raid but the people in the raid channel are all offline

[glad rover]

I never have got an Emogla from a 10k egg I get Timburr from them mostly

[tropic reef]

i get vullaby

ive gotten neither of those 2

[glad rover]

I thought Vullaby was only in 12k eggs?

[final tulip]

has anyone else been seeing a lot of deoxys-d in open gl recently?

[glad rover]

It is the Defense form so it makes sense why people would use it

[tropic reef]

ohh ya

sry ya thats what i meant

i dont hatch 10 km

i forgor

[analog steeple]

Yeah it’s to counter Wally and his ice spam

[final tulip]

ah makes sense

[analog steeple]

Holds up well against everything else meta wise except those sableye/ trevanants still kicking around

[final tulip]

and the occasional swampert as well

[glad rover]

Well they mentioned more about the Johto Tour today, but still absolutely nothing about the masterwork research. The Celebi you get for completing the normal research for it knows Magical Leaf and that’s what’s special about it. You also get a shiny Gyarados during that research to but still doesn’t seem worth it

[lucid frigate]

Bit of an issue for my neo grasshole team

Submitted some battles and they got featured on zyonik’s channel

[final tulip]

probopass

what exactly does it do in the meta

[lucid frigate]

Its fun

Spicing off after hitting legend

[final tulip]

i see

i’m still trying to get to veteran, at 2300 elo rn

[odd glade]

🧐

"If you catch Celebi during the event, it will know the attack Magical Leaf!"

[flint wind]

👀 i didnt see that part

well now i regret maxing my gyarados

this one got a floor so its guaranteed better

[ashen oxide]

Is anyone doing genesect raids rn?

[gilded rune]

#pogo_raids but also it's a rule to not ask for raids, people will host if they wish to

[twilit sapphire]

tfw i already caught a wild shiny gyara from a past event

[tropic reef]

im too broke for the event

sad

[normal hawk]

Trading is down cause of this guy:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/s83p6y/today_i_traded_100_pokémon_with_a_friend_and_they/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[lucid frigate]

Ofc its a niantic move for them to try and fix an actually good glitch immediately

[slow warren]

feelsbad I only have one lucky friend and apparently they're in Dubai

[west marsh]

Ugh

[analog steeple]

Time to get the PvP community and convince niantic the lag gives us all free shundos and raid passes

[tropic reef]

how do u know if they are a lucky friend

[slow warren]

The name will appear yellow with some bubbles in your friend list
and if you click on themitll say "lucky friend"

[tropic reef]

ok

doesnt it like remove after u do a lucky trade or smt?

[slow warren]

Your first trade with them is guarenteed yeah, after that it normally goes away
I guess for that glitch it never did so they could farm the luckies

[untold light]

Omg idk your discord name sarah but thx for the invite I caught it that was my first legendary that actually stayed in the ball

[wraith flame]

imagine catching so many meltan for one straight hour just to realize you are 49 candies less for evolving

and now I have to wait 3 frickin days to get more candies

[wraith flame]

bruh

I need to walk 20 km for just one meltan candy

I could have got like 7 snover candies with my abomasnow

if I got one meltan candy with meltan rn

[tropic reef]

its 20 km for a meltan candy???

bruhhh

[tight pilot]

Yeah all Legendary / Myth are 20km per candy, wouldnt bother walking Meltan you’re honestly better off waiting the 3 days and popping another box

[cerulean imp]

How do you pop a box to get meltans? I only have the 1 from the research

[final tulip]

send pokemon to home or lgpe

[cerulean imp]

Thanks, might give that a try later

[wraith flame]

that mystery box completely got me from 64 pinap berries and 150 ultra balls to 0 pinap berries and 40 ultra balls

(and I used some pokeballs for lower cp ones but only 5-6 of those spawned)

[fading harbor]

Does anyone know of Pokémon can be transferred into Pokémon go because I have Pokémon in let’s go and in home that I want it go but don’t know if it is possible

[tropic reef]

no

[fading harbor]

Dang it I need a shiny magnemite in Pokémon go but shiny hunting sucks in this game (mostly cause there is no hunting you just find a Pokémon and hope for the best)

Wait is there any way to get certain Pokémon to show up more often or is it just random Pokémon show up at random times

[lucid frigate]

Im in the same boat as you

Like 800 seen so far

Almost 900

[dusty oracle]

Outside of specific pokemon from special lures, and targetting specific research tasks, which is still fairly random, no.

[odd glade]

Any idea if trading is back?

I have tons of mons to transfer and I want the double candies

[ivory halo]

On the topic of GBL...

Win rate for this team is 70-85%

[tropic reef]

nice

[wooden glade]

Ayo does anyone have a ditto they’re willing to trade me? DM me if you want to see my pokemon.

[tropic reef]

what does gbl stand for anyway

[ivory halo]

Trading is local only

Go
Battle
Leauge

[wooden glade]

Ah. Sorry then didn’t know

[ivory halo]

No problem, I learned that the hard way as well.

[ivory halo]

Go
Battle
Leauge

[tropic reef]

lol

[odd glade]

Welp just checked the game and trading is still removed . I Hope it's not gonna turn as it was with Team Rocket a few months ago

[ivory halo]

I did kind of miss having an evil team to smash around.

[lucid frigate]

Go battle lag league

Oh yea, that was so dumb when they disabled rockets last year

[final tulip]

we better get some good compensation this time, last time was just stupid rocket radars

[flint wind]

Long distance trading 👀

Premium trade pass or some random garbage gonna come out

[lucid frigate]

Tbh, since this is niantic, i expect absolutely nothing

[radiant vigil]

The moment lucky friend trades stayed lucky though they turned off trading entirely

[ivory halo]

I wouldn't be too sure about that, they aren't Game freak, so that is great.

[lucid frigate]

True, they aren’t game freak, but niantic is even worse

[flint wind]

knowing niantic they perma turn off lucky trades tbh

[oblique ridge]

well, its niantic

[lucid frigate]

Just search niantic on urban dictionary

[charred rapids]

Hmm

Why is he not showing teeth

He is normal

[oblique ridge]

Not a bad collection rn

[thick moth]

willing to trade event shiny butterfree or kirlia for shiny voltorb

[tropic reef]

you cant trade

they removed trading to fix a bug

and you need to be within 100 meters of eachother anyway

[west marsh]

Well this is lame

[final tulip]

not the compensation i was hoping for

yet again, niantic never fails to disappoint me

[glad rover]

Wow something that lasts for four days so amazing!

[lucid frigate]

No surprise

[ivory halo]

Ah, well at least they didn't do a rubbish job on BDSP.

I just saw the compensation,

But I am broke on stardust, but my Great leauge team is incredible.

[odd glade]

https://tenor.com/view/ffs-baby-really-oh-god-just-stop-gif-12739180

[lucid frigate]

That was ILCA who did a poor job

But niantic still does terrible for their most popular game

[charred rapids]

Coming from someone that’s played both main series and pogo for a super long time, Niantic is far worse no contest

[oblique ridge]

[odd glade]

1. Niantic
2. ILCA
3. Gamefreak
4. Spike chunsoft
   ^ My rating from worst to the least bad
   ILCA is getting closer tho

[oblique ridge]

Chart pf shame

Of*

[ashen oxide]

Does anyone have suggestions? I’ve recently started struggling with pvp this is my great league team I’m at rank 18 and pretty consistently getting smacked. I lead with probopass and recently swapped togekiss in for celebi and I’ve been doing better but toxicroak and lucario leads have been ruining me

[final tulip]

this is for sinnoh cup i'm assuming?

[ashen oxide]

Either Sinnoh or great league

[final tulip]

also the first thing is you should probably double move all your pokemon

[ashen oxide]

If I could afford it I would

[final tulip]

none of those 3 really do well in open great league

[ashen oxide]

I’ve found that probopass is generally really solid but I’ve been swapping the other two a lot

[final tulip]

what exactly do you have for great league rn

[ashen oxide]

These are my around 1500 mons

I’ve been trying to just hit rank 20 this season for the legendary rewards but these last 5 ranks has been a slow slow slog it’s taking me like 2 days of battles to go up one rank

[final tulip]

you could try something with vigoroth altaria and walrein

assuming that both walrein and altaria have their cday moves

also one thing i should mention is that legendary rates have been reduced at least in my experience

[ashen oxide]

I accidentally tmed moonblast off of my altaria I picked the wrong move of the two still salty about it

Walrein has cd move though

[charred rapids]

Then use skarmory

[final tulip]

skarmory is good for covering walrein

[charred rapids]

Problem is they both share a weakness that you hope Vig can take down in electric types

[final tulip]

gunfisk could work well on that team

[ashen oxide]

I tried running vigoroth and felt like it was insanely squishy and did no damage even when it was hitting super effective

[final tulip]

counter isn't boosted by stab but if you have body slam it can do good damage

[charred rapids]

Yeah Vigoroth is a better pick than 80% of those mons which are either squishier, slower with charging the moves or they’re just too weak

A lot of those mons get shafted on their move sets too, some are better for Ultra league

[final tulip]

vigoroth is a good safe swap

you can lead it too but i find it better in the back

[ashen oxide]

I’ve got a lucario that’s just over 1500 im still pissed about it

[charred rapids]

Lucario at the moment is only good for sinnoh cup which doesn’t happen often or ultra league

[ashen oxide]

Is steelix viable at all?

Got a shiny recently that will power up nicely but it’s only a few hundred cp now

[final tulip]

in ultra league it can be good

but it needs xls to reach 2500

[ashen oxide]

If I want to keep running sinnoh do I have any better options I could run or should I keep plugging away at it

[final tulip]

you should give togekiss charm

that might help with your mu against fighters

[ashen oxide]

Could I use this in place of togekiss for sinnoh with the right move set? @final tulip

[final tulip]

not really since toxicroak and togekiss do 2 completely different things

[charred rapids]

But toxi is pretty good to pair with toge, those bastiodon’s can be pretty annoying lol

[modern siren]

30

[crisp relic]

@modern siren has been warned for: trying to sell account, we don’t do that here

[lucid frigate]

Body slam spam with counter/body slam adds up QUICK

[rustic nova]

heliolisk isnt of any use in pvp right ?

[lucid frigate]

Nah

[rotund copper]

Oh shit

[lucid frigate]

This was my libre this season

[oblique ridge]

i see a mustache man

[odd glade]

[cyan quarry]

If you cant login, niantic has somehow deleted several pokemon from the game. Yeah. Wtf.

[lucid frigate]

I got back in and things seem to be fine

[cyan quarry]

Sems to of just been fixed haha

[west marsh]

Haha it’s fixed now it’s just funny to see they were messing up hardcore

[radiant vigil]

oh it's bulba comm day rn forgot

[sleek quarry]

Anyone see the ticket rewards for the com day?

[west marsh]

You mean this?

[sleek quarry]

Yes! Thank you @west marsh

[crisp relic]

tarheels98 has given 1 'General Rep' to SamiSamsterz.

[west marsh]

No problem

[slow warren]

Hmm are those rewards worth?

[twilit sapphire]

hmm the candy for mega evo

[ivory halo]

When UL comes along, I'll be ready.

( great leauge too, )

[glad rover]

Oh dang I just realized I have zero sun stones. Looks like Helioisk is going to have to wait. Upside though Bulbasaur day start as for me in a couple hours

[untold light]

First great buddy 😎

[twilit sapphire]

What a weird looking bulbasaur

[obtuse crow]

Bulba

[rotund copper]

Send help

[lucid frigate]

the weather boost stinks

makes getting a pvp venusaur near impossible

[glad rover]

Got a shiny Bulbasaur and I evolved my Galarian Slowpoke so I enjoyed this small bonus community day

[tropic reef]

ye

i only got a 1 star this comm day

when do we know what the next comm day is

[glad rover]

We don’t, they’ll announce February’s eventually

[silent thunder]

Is anyone else having shit luck getting a shiny bulbasaur

I’ve caught over 60 and nothing yet

[sleek quarry]

I played on both of my accounts and got 7 between the two. Pretty good considering I stayed inside on incense

[silent thunder]

I caught over 130 and only got 3 shinies. I’m kinda bummed 🙁

[cyan quarry]

I think I won this one 😂

[cyan quarry]

I'll raise you my first catch on cd 😂

[lucid frigate]

When i ran azu double ghost and there was just a medicham left i felt the same

Am also curious, what rank your at rn?

[cyan quarry]

Im at 2250 atm. Using my usual team of ari/azu xl/coff. Turns out the latest meta change is massively in my favour once more 😅

Havent played too much before comday, or I would be mid vet by now

[analog steeple]

Ooo kinda debating switching to that

What do you do on basti swaps for medi/sableye/basti lineup?

[twilit sapphire]

[lucid frigate]

Never really ran into those teams, usually bastiodon leads ~~also were people really safe swapping a bastiodon? ~~

[analog steeple]

Guess I more meant basti as a whole

But yeah usually sableye safe swap for that lineup

I’m so bored in GL I might do that azu/double ghost with trev and coff

[lucid frigate]

Ah lol

I run it with xl sableye and trev, but january cd made things much more annoying with the walrus

[final tulip]

i like how the meta just shifted to walrein and its counters

[ivory halo]

After the January comm day, my main GL team turned Anti metagame. With the rise of Bastiodon and Iegacy Walrein.

My team is:

Lead, Zebstrika ( Thunder ). FA: Spark, CA: discharge, Flame charge.

Breloom ( Chiniu ). FA: Counter, CA: Seed bomb.

Samurott ( Hikoroko ). FA: Waterfall, CA: Hydro Cannon, Blizzard.

Note: Samurott never lost against any Azumarill.

[silent thunder]

Mine is raichu alohan marowak and clafable. So far they’ve been doing me good

[lucid frigate]

Not really an answer for trevenant there

[ivory halo]

I never battles against one the entire season, but flame charge on Zebstrika should be sufficient.

[lucid frigate]

Interesting, they’re pretty common for me, but trev does outpace zeb to moves

[ivory halo]

Which moves does it normally have?

[lucid frigate]

Shadow claw/seed bomb/shadow ball

[ivory halo]

None of my Pokémon resist ghost, and Blizzard on Samurott takes an eternity to charge.

Walreins are everywhere in rank 19

[slow warren]

Why not fury cutter/megahorn as 2nd move on samurott?

[ivory halo]

Dragon types

[slow warren]

Ah suppose so just seems you lose a lot of charge and would have to have shields down for the dragons

[ivory halo]

I tried fury cutter on a different Samurott, but the water coverage was really important on this team.

[oblique ridge]

I played maybe an hour of comm day and got one shiny, and got almost a hundo bulba

Thing is, i forgot to ask which one i shouldve evolved to get frenzy plant on, is there another way tk get frenzy plant?

[charred rapids]

Elite charge tm or wait for events that bring them back, which isn’t often

[oblique ridge]

Elite tm it is i think i have a few

Also what are good ivs for venusaur? Dont really care about pvp, plan to do some raids eventually

[slow warren]

fair enough whatever works

[oblique ridge]

[slow warren]

raids venu tho I assume just near max atk and decent 10+ other stas if thats your best?
Don;'t trust me though

[final tulip]

raid venu just needs max attack

or any lucky should suffice

[analog steeple]

Ye if you aren’t worried about PvP (shame on you) just go for best you can nab

[final tulip]

any luck on pvp venus today cho?

[analog steeple]

Uze what’re you running tomorrow for GBL day 👀

Noooope. All weather boosted

[final tulip]

probably what i ran today after cday

looking like wally venu talon

[analog steeple]

I have no clue what to run. I gotta get rid of Gfisk since everyone and their momma is running medi again

[oblique ridge]

gbl season is about to end anyway

This is gpod right

[slow warren]

😮 nice

[analog steeple]

Ye that’s a great one!

[final tulip]

it was wb in my city too but in the next one over it was windy so that’s where i did my cday until i got at least rank 30 for both leagues

after that just wb bulbasaur for me

[analog steeple]

Ugh I should’ve done that

[slow warren]

lmao you drove out of the city for cday?

[oblique ridge]

So sludge bomb and frenzy plant for charged attacks, and which fast attacj?

[analog steeple]

Venu is such an ass in UL/GL

[final tulip]

it was a 5 minute drive so not that much

[final tulip]

vine whip

[final tulip]

for real though

[oblique ridge]

Thanks for your help!

[slow warren]

oh wierd small city then

[final tulip]

not really i just live on the edge

[analog steeple]

I have to dedicate two shields just to barely beat it out with Deoxys

[slow warren]

fair enough

[final tulip]

if i go to the north i can get to the next city in 5 minutes but if i go south it takes up to 30 minutes

[slow warren]

ah makes sense

[final tulip]

what i do against deoxys is just shield first psycho boost and then tank the next one

[oblique ridge]

Regice incoming in raids

[analog steeple]

That’s why I big brain and rock slide first for the shield then psycho boost twice

[final tulip]

i usually get 1 frenzy plant off so my talonflame can finish it off

[final tulip]

most people only counter 5 times so it’s an easy read for me

[analog steeple]

Yeah people who go straight PB to start probably haven’t done that matchup much?? You get to the 3rd PB but you don’t win

Source : me, finding out the hard way

[final tulip]

good source

venu is my safe swap for most bad lead match ups

[analog steeple]

Venu is a killer safe swap tbh. I’ve seen so few talonflame

[final tulip]

the fwg core is working pretty well so that’s good

[final tulip]

talonflame is there to beat medi and gunfisk in the endgame

[analog steeple]

Time to check out my mons and see what I can actually put together that counters the Walrein and medi/basti

[oblique ridge]

I have a bibarel a garchomp and toxicroak as my sinnoh league team, who should go girst?I

I switch em out often to see what works best

[analog steeple]

Oof I’ve done like no sinnoh so I’m not much help

I imagine toxicroak is a good closer though

[oblique ridge]

The problem with toxicroak is that theyre really common these days

[final tulip]

drifblim beats croak 1v1 so you could try that

oh nvm i misread what you said

if you have a lucario or empoleon that could be a good lead

[oblique ridge]

Uh i might have a good/decent pingu

Oh i dont, nvm

Uh i can take a shiny team of shiny pingu roserade and gible

Is ninetales good in gl?

[final tulip]

alolan ninetales is good in gl

kanto ninetales is fine but it does better in limited cups afaik

[analog steeple]

Atales

My first Mon I built a core around

[oblique ridge]

Now that i think about it i have a ton of almost hundo mons

[final tulip]

the bad thing about atales is that it loses to everything on my team

depending on the charge move ofc

[final tulip]

the ivs aren’t that great for great league but you could use it to climb up the ranks

[lucid frigate]

Shadow probopass was funny against a-nine leads

[oblique ridge]

Hmm ig i could try ninetales with pinsir as lead and either garchomp slowbro or snorlax

What about electrode?

[final tulip]

garchomp isn’t good in great league

electrode is okay but it does better in limited formats

[final tulip]

i see we have a probopass enjoyer here

[oblique ridge]

[lucid frigate]

Running neo grasshole was fun, but it killed my win rate

[oblique ridge]

So.... pinsir almost hundo bibarel znd almost hundo ninetales did not terrible

Changed up ninetales from heat wave to psyshock

Sighh.. #removesinnohleague

[wraith flame]

do u think they should let bibarel naturally spawn but remove bidoof evolution?

because more than half the world wouldn't evolve bidoof, even if they have many candies

[rustic nova]

Which should I max out ?

[odd glade]

Shadow if you are rich is dust (there's a rocket event in a few days too)

[final tulip]

definitely shadow

you don’t need to max it really just level it up to around level 35 and you should be good

[wraith flame]

was there a shiny bulbasaur event recently, literally every frickin gym near my home has at least one shiny pokemon from the bulbasaur line

[tropic reef]

yes

bulbasaur community day redo yesterday

2 pm to 5 pm

[wraith flame]

why am I always the last to know all of this, especially when it ends 😦

[tropic reef]

check pinned messages

they always have it pinned

and also it tells u in the news tab

[wraith flame]

btw I am finally gonna pop another mystery box

[lucid frigate]

I am too envious of you

[tight pilot]

Leaders have : Teddiursa (cliff), Bagon (arlo) and Poliwag (sierra) ~ all can be shiny (ofc)

[final tulip]

shadow chikorita right before johto tour is good at least

[lucid frigate]

Shadow johto starters are… interesting

[tropic reef]

the bagon might be good

salamance

i wanna get a shiny totodile so bad

[west marsh]

Imma be farming that Poliwag 😍😍

[tropic reef]

hopefully i get lucky without a ticket during the tour

[final tulip]

sami you do pvp? or just farming it for the shiny

[west marsh]

Shiny lol 😂 I’m terrible at PvP. But if I were to go for it. Which of them is good and what IV’s 😂

[dusty oracle]

Poli for PVP now; Teddi for PVP later due to... reasons, Bagon for PVE

[final tulip]

both of poliwag’s evos are good in pvp

[dusty oracle]

Poliwhirl is the better of the two, both are viable though.

[final tulip]

is ursaring going to be good in johto cup?

[dusty oracle]

Eh.

I more mean ||PLA spoilermon||

[final tulip]

i have a rank 1 teddiursa i caught a while back

ah i see

[dusty oracle]

Trying to be tactically vague.

Which is obviously harder to plan for.

[final tulip]

indeed

[dusty oracle]

I think there is a way to work it out already; although movesets may play some part.

[final tulip]

until we get the moves there’s no way we will know if it is good

[lucid frigate]

Spice

[dusty oracle]

Assuming current theoreticals, it should be, unless Nian decide to be really mean.

[final tulip]

i like spice

[lucid frigate]

Most intense battle today

[final tulip]

bastiodon stall

[odd glade]

Green Shadow Bagon ...

[oblique ridge]

@final tulip thanks for the raid invite!i just saw it

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.

[tropic reef]

||but is ursaluna gonna be in the game?||||thats the question||

[final tulip]

saw you online and decided to toss you an invite, too bad you couldn't join

[dusty oracle]

||I mean, eventually, yes. Everything will come to GO eventually.||

[sleek quarry]

Shadow Bagon, take my money 🤑

[ivory halo]

When does Go batte day end?

[final tulip]

11:59 local

[ivory halo]

Alright, thanks.

[frosty void]

So pogo trades are banned here?

[tropic reef]

no

you can only trade within 100 meters

[twilit sapphire]

I mean, by trading rules.
You cant trade to anyone in game if you're not close.

And most shiny myths from pogo are trade banned

[oblique ridge]

I thinj i may or may not have druddigon dexed, whats its pokedex number?

[final tulip]

621

[oblique ridge]

Oh nvm i didnt

[wraith flame]

I finally got melmetal

and, I also lost all my razz berries, pinap berries, great balls and ultra balls

[tropic reef]

#Hoppip Community Day.

Here is all the info.

#PokemonGo #PokemonGoApp #CommunityDay #PokemonGOCommunityDay

Twitter · Jan 24, 2022, 6:00 PM

[final tulip]

the 3 raid passes is nice

[stark narwhal]

Bruh Hoppip?

New shiny is nice I guess

[odd glade]

I wanna go 🤢

But it's a pink shiny

Useless and forgotten pokemon tho :|

[tropic reef]

why cant we have fennekin or smt

well ok

[charred rapids]

FINALLY someone else gets it

Gen 6 starters would be too soon, they haven’t released gen 7 and they’d catch up to themselves

[charred rapids]

then they should do a ditto community day or something

tired of having these two special research quests just sit there for weeks on end because ditto won't show up 🤬

Community days are usually mons with third stage evolutions with very few exceptions (mostly exceptions that mega evolve so I guess it would sort of count as three stages).

[tropic reef]

Eevee

[charred rapids]

We’ve had it twice lol

And it has more than 3

[tropic reef]

2

[charred rapids]

A Pokémon with 8 different evolutions warrants a community day

Ditto does not

[final tulip]

having a ditto community day would ruin the rarity of ditto

and the shiny form of course

[analog steeple]

It’s got a place as a good budget tropius in PvP but yeah totally useless if you don’t PvP

Im excited just cause it’s such a cutie

[charred rapids]

New shiny is always nice, so long as it’s not already released shines like the last two bloody years

[radiant vigil]

I always like new shinies

[glad rover]

Man if only I could have any Tropius

[lucid frigate]

I was kinda hyped for it and then i realized spheal cd happened

[analog steeple]

Spheal and nidoqueen are the worst. So good in neutral matchups you usually come away limping from them

[glad rover]

A Nidoran community day sounds like it would be fun

[twilit sapphire]

Love the Hopp commday, such a nice shiny too

[oblique ridge]

Hoppip.... eh im fine with it, but we just had a grass type comm day...

[torn arrow]

no we didn't

it was water/ice type

[final tulip]

the bulbasaur community day classic was this last saturday

[radiant vigil]

bulbasaur doesn't count, was a repeat

jumpluff shiny looks hella cooler

[torn arrow]

I forgot about that ngl

[final tulip]

it counts gilli don’t kid yourself

[radiant vigil]

i didn't play it so it doesn't count for me

[odd glade]

New Johto shiny that is been released 2 weeks before the Johto tour...

[torn arrow]

it's a comm day classic, not a comm day

two totally different things

[radiant vigil]

louse gets me

at least they're separating repeats into these classic comm day things, because i don't feel like doing a 3rd charmander comm day or something

[odd glade]

Is it regional? damn

We have tons by tons here

[torn arrow]

ye it's regional

[odd glade]

Time to start saving them for whenever I go travel

[torn arrow]

we have no relevant regionals I think

[odd glade]

I have these saved for whenever I will get the chance to trade with ppl

[torn arrow]

the struggle of being a bri'ish "person"

[odd glade]

rip

[torn arrow]

well you can't really trade the lucky sigil

[odd glade]

You will probably get some when gen 8 mons will start to be released

[torn arrow]

oh ye that's true

but which mons

[odd glade]

Sinistea for sure

[torn arrow]

I feel like yamper could be a regional

but dogs are transported all around the world so I doubt it

[torn arrow]

proper bri'ish drink

[odd glade]

Maybe they will pick a random no evolution mon from galar, they like to make these regionals

[twilit sapphire]

Rip CP and ivs

[twilit sapphire]

Aight no need to go that far with posting that kind of stuff

[stark narwhal]

Glances in Heracross, Tauros and Maractus

I went to Florida for new year and got Maractus and Heracross.

[glad rover]

Yeah South Florida is where I live so I can encounter Maractus and Heracross quite often. South Florida however is the only part of the US where you can’t capture a Tauros. I do have one from last year’s year of the ox research at least

Carnivine and Corsola also are other regionals I can encounter here

[rustic nova]

hey yall

just got lucky friends with my alt

do i
1: wait till event ends to see if i get a magnemite to send to my main
2: pick between shiny zubat, mudkip, totodile, meltan, or alolan vulpix to send to my main

[final tulip]

trade something now so that you have a chance of getting lucky friends later too

[lucid frigate]

Im still salty that i cant encounter maractus in my region

I mean cmon, theres a desert within 100 miles

Lots of cacti there

[radiant vigil]

the only regional i have here has been given out so many times in global events it's barely even worth calling regional

[rustic nova]

maybe, but last time i got lucky with my alt was almost 4 months ago, and it took nearly a year to get lucky the first time

[lucid frigate]

Same

I actually got kanga from a somewhat event surprisingly

When pokemon worlds was in anaheim and they did an event in pogo as well with kangaskhan and WORLDS unown. You know i absolutely had to be there

[final tulip]

it's still better imo

up to you ig

[stark narwhal]

I only went to Orlando so Corsola was out of reach.

[rotund copper]

Went to Disney world this year and manage to nab some Carnivine, maractus, corsola, and Heracross.

There were bouffalant down there too, which I wasn’t expecting, but it didn’t matter too much since we have bouffalant up here in NY.

[glad rover]

Bouffalant? I’ve been to Disney World many times but haven’t ever seen one of those there

[rotund copper]

No I was remembering wrong

I found it while I was in New Jersey, the memories were blending together

[charred rapids]

i miss my sirfetchd

[tropic reef]

Dude same with my darmanitan

Its been stuck in the gym for like 2 weeks

And trevenant

[charred rapids]

how common is it for incense to not spawn anything for 10 minutes after it's used

[charred rapids]

been half an hour, still nothing 🗿

[analog steeple]

Definitely submit a ticket

That sounds insane and not working right

[spark mountain]

https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/february-2022-content-update/

[analog steeple]

Oooo deoxys is back

[odd glade]

With a shiny???

[analog steeple]

Great little blurb there Juwu @gentle moat !

[gentle moat]

All 4 forms

[analog steeple]

Yeah! The forms are all shiny unlocked this rotation

Oh shoot. That timing 😂

[odd glade]

https://tenor.com/view/6m-rain-wallstreet-make-it-rain-gif-8203989

[gentle moat]

🤣 great minds think alike

[analog steeple]

Yeahhhh same haha

Glad I saved all this money this month but it’s about to get spent next month

[odd glade]

indeed

🌻 🌼

Probably heart trim furfrou as well

[dusty oracle]

Err, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but:

"Which type of team you’re submitting: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Bug, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, or Steel. All Pokémon you pick should be the same type."

[odd glade]

Ohh I see what they did there, Johto's gyms types

[final tulip]

shiny espurr was unexpected

[glad rover]

Shiny Deoxys being back and all forms being shiny capable is perfect. Each form is only in raids 3 days each though. Sure anyone who wants to hunt all 4 will be coughing up some cash for all of that

I’ll probably just try and hunt for one shiny Deoxys but might try for more if I want to go really into it

Also I need to capture any Deoxys since I need one for my Hoenn dex

[lucid frigate]

Is that a legend rank pose i see

[charred rapids]

anyone got any ideas for what the fairy type evolutionary line being introduced for Valentine's day will be?

[flint wind]

flabebe line most likely

[charred rapids]

Probably flabebe if you ask me lol

[tropic reef]

ahhhhhh

deoxys

im gonna have to grind gyms ig

i still need the dex entries for deoxys regirock registeel suicune entei ho oh and raikou

and imma try shiny hunting deoxys ho oh and lugia

which form should i do for deoxys tho

[gentle moat]

Time to redo it lol

[gentle moat]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

3 days of solo L5 raids yessss I love deoxys atk lol

[flint wind]

need to build shadow honchie further

win rate alr 91% on genie

[safe gust]

Hi

[stark narwhal]

Finally got a shiny for this event

[tropic reef]

https://forms.gle/zir9yYtZNVRQJPJ88

im uh

cant decide which one

[twilit sapphire]

i prefer the regular deoxys

[final tulip]

i’d go deo-d since it’s good in gl and ul

[oblique ridge]

Shiny regice time

[glad rover]

What I’m going to do is try and get just any four shiny Deoxys, later I’ll use the meteorites in Vielstone City to change their form (once connectivity for Home’s out) for the living dex stuff

How many coins does it take to refill transfer energy again? Because transferring a shiny mythical automatically drains all the transfer energy

[twilit sapphire]

or wait a couple days

it takes around a week to refill

[glad rover]

Yeah so it would be an entire month until I would have them all transferred

If I waited

[twilit sapphire]

not that you needed it urgently for something

[glad rover]

Well never know when they’ll announce Home connectivity for BDSP especially now that Legends is almost out. I have a Deoxys from a past game so when I transfer them I’ll be able to bring the Go ones into the game

[wraith flame]

how many more days will the power plant event last?

[twilit sapphire]

uh

till the end of the month

i think feb 1

[wraith flame]

I have like 2 magnemite candies now so do u think by the end of the event I can get 98 more for evolving magneton?

I COULD use a magnetic lure, but in that case I would need two bcz I need like another for the evo condition to complete

[torn arrow]

are there any forms that aren't deoxys-d that are viable in some way, in pvp or pve?

or is deoxys-d the only good one?

[mighty lynx]

heyo, I have a question. Do I need to keep my Hoopa in GO for some reason? I need it for my living dex in Home, but it's giving me a little warning when I try to move it. Is it needed for a quest or something?

[dusty oracle]

Depends. If you have the "Mischief Unbound" research, and potentially future alternate researches, albeit highly unlikely, you will need it.

If you do not, or only have the Misunderstood Mischief research, then no.

[final tulip]

another shundo libre https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/sd9llr/i_could_legit_cry_right_now_first_time_getting_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[rotund copper]

Wow

[ivory halo]

This is very exciting.

[odd glade]

Don't get your hopes too high, I suspect we will not be able to transfer pokemons from Go to BDSP, but Home will just be kind of storage for BDSP ||plus you will be able to transfer pokemons from PLA as well when pokemons from PLA will be a one way direction as in pokemons from LGPE||.

[glad rover]

Why though? BDSP has abilities and that’s the main reason why Let’s Go has its restrictions

[odd glade]

I am planning to go for attack and speed deoxys at most for because these are soloable (With 2 accounts) but if RNG god will lvoe me I will go for all 4

[odd glade]

The answer is that how TPC most likely do stuff. it can also be like that at first, and then they will make it possible to transfer pokemons from other games as well. also don't forget, even if we will be able to transfer our deoxys, we will need a deoxys event in BDSP first to transfer or PoGo's one.

[glad rover]

Or you can transfer a Deoxys from a past game like the one from ORAS’ post game

[odd glade]

That's an option too, to the lucky people who has one in Home

[glad rover]

Which I do since I played ORAS and he’s been sitting in there for a long time

Stuck in Attack form

[odd glade]

Mine is stuck in ORAS forever unfortunately

[glad rover]

Also have the Plasma Deoxys event

From many years ago

[odd glade]

I had an event one from 2013 I think but I gave it away because I couldn't be sure if it's duped/genned or not

2013 is the Plasma one isn't it?

[glad rover]

Yeah after that exploit that can’t be named I wouldn’t really trust anything that wasn’t redeemed yourself

[glad rover]

Yes since it was for Black and White2

[odd glade]

Ye the only event mons that I kept which I didn't redeem by myself are shiny Diancie bc I just can't send her away and shiny poipole & Naganadel that a real life friend gave me to complete my shiny UB collection

I hope we will be able to get a Shiny Diancie in PoGo in the future tho

[glad rover]

Really low risk of it happening but Diancie may one day end up in Mega Raids. Darkrai, Deoxys and Genesect have been in raids so not too out of the question

[odd glade]

Mega Diancie raid will be really tough, if they will keep up with her insane stats from the main games

[dusty oracle]

Eh.

M!Diancie raid wouldn't be that bad, statwise. Especially given the quad weakness to steel.

Eternamax raids?

Now that is a fresh new coat of hell.

[odd glade]

Mega Diancie is one of the only few mons with 700 stats (or more). she has great defense and even greater offense, she only lack in HP, and if they will follow up with the previous mega raids, it will not be as noticeable. to be fair, all the pseudo legendary's megas have 700 total stats as well, and pokemons like mega metagross can be even tougher, but it depends how they are gonna imply them in the mega raids.

[gilded rune]

So is druddigon shiny locked this event

[glad rover]

Druddigon can be shiny, it’s only Monferno and Muk that can’t be shiny from the current raids

[gilded rune]

Ok thanks I thought so

[dry ember]

anyone wanna do a mega aerodactyl raid?

[gilded rune]

#pogo_raids ^^

[twilit sapphire]

Its just a meme btw, at least for now

[odd glade]

Are you kidding me 😳

[nocturne dawn]

Anyone have any form fuefrous? Will trade rayquazas, houndour, snivy miltank, therian land/torn or or for em

[charred rapids]

Trading is limited to a distance of 100m

[nocturne dawn]

Pg sharp trading?

[rotund copper]

Not sure what that is, but if it’s any form of spoofing it isn’t allowed to be talked about here.

[charred rapids]

It would be spoofing and yeah we don’t do that shit only legitimate talk in here

[nocturne dawn]

You dont need to cus. Its not in channel discription nor is it in pins @charred rapids

[charred rapids]

Is there a rule for that? I didn’t use it to attack or insult you, simply “we don’t do that shit”.

[nocturne dawn]

...

[rotund copper]

cough

Oh nvm they left

[charred rapids]

Really got salty over my word huh 👁️👄👁️

[radiant vigil]

That's like day to day lingo down under

[radiant vigil]

They'd get insulted over the nicest of us here

[analog steeple]

I’m glad I didn’t reply because I swear I use fuck and shit so freely

[rotund copper]

to myself Stay professional hurb, just stay professional

[torn arrow]

nah fuck that if they get offended by a word that isn't actually offensive they just gotta grow up and realise that not everything is happy disney movie PG fun for everyone

[final tulip]

bruh

[torn arrow]

[ivory halo]

Ooooooo

[wraith flame]

I have claimed three gyms and added a pokemon to each, so every day I will get 150 pokecoins right?

[slow warren]

Unfortunately not

[wraith flame]

dude that sucks

I wasted so much time defeating gyms

[slow warren]

pokemon in gyms earn 1 coin per 10 minutes in a gym iirc, so about 8 hours in your pokemon will earn 50 coins

[wraith flame]

yes but I claimed three DIFFERENT gyms and each of those three have 1 of my pokemon

[slow warren]

But once you reach that 50 coin cap in 1 day, you cant earn anymore til 12:01AM rolls over to earn 50 more

[wraith flame]

Oh sad 😦

[slow warren]

Yeah, so if all 3 of your mons get knocked out in the same day you only earn 50
Theoretically you can earn 150 coins, but gotta hope people knock em out 3 different days

[wraith flame]

I knew I shouldn't have wasted my my golden razz berries to revive em

[wraith flame]

my abomasnow got knocked out of 1 of em today morning I think

[slow warren]

oof
Its not too bad in some places
but downtown/popular areas pokemon gyms get taken over every couple hours

[wraith flame]

so I still have melmetal and electivire defending the other ones

[slow warren]

Hopefully they stay in then

[wraith flame]

I think my electivire will still take time to be KOed bcz it is in a gym with 6 mons, and electivire is the last

so lets hope melmetal can cut it for long enough to give me my last 50 coins

oh also is there a specific level where we get golden razz berries as lvl up reward?

and would you rather pop another mystery box to get another melmetal or to power up your existing one?

I think I will power up so it stays in gym longer

[slow warren]

Haha indeed
But I think there is but im not too sure Id have to google

Id use a mystery box to catch new meltan incase you get a hundo or something nice, sinc eits basically free to do so every 3 days

Unless you already have a hundo/shiny I guess

[wraith flame]

I don't think shiny ones spawn with mystery box, shiny meltan was only in some event

[slow warren]

Looks like you only get golden razz berries as level up reward at level 10
but any raid you do you get a ton of golden razz so they don't really run out if you do raids every now and again with the free passes

Ah yeah, I think you're right

[wraith flame]

I am seriously not having enough CP for raids. My only reliable mon is Melmetal, coz I can get infinity of them, plus I can get infinite meltan candies. Electivire will only be gud until this event is running and abomasnow is running out of candies, lately only egg hatches gave me snover candies. but that was a month ago as well. I could walk along with them but it takes much longer to get candies that way. Also if you mega evolve a pokemon once does it use up the mega energy?

[slow warren]

Candies do take a long time to reliably get for more uncommon mons since rare candies are the only way for those ones

Eggs rotate with the event so you'll get different ones once "seasons of heritage" ends
I'd reccomend just catching a bunch of pokemon until you reach level 30 where pokemon you encounter can be the highest level (30-35) and train from there unless you get hundos or something

Mega evolving pokemon does indeed use the mega energy, which is initially 200 mega energy, but once you do, subsequent evolutions only need 40 mega energy.
You can gain mega energy for that specific pokemon you mega evolved by walking them as your buddy. Each candy (1, 3, 5 km) will give you 15 mega energy as well, so its replenishable

[wraith flame]

oh okay coz I have 200 steelix energy from some event so I was just thinking can I replenish for 40 more bcz mega just lasts 8 hours

bro what.... I am battling Team Valor's leader Candela (in Battles > Training), and I can swear typhlosion should have fire around its neck but Candela's Typhlosion doesn't wtf

[torn arrow]

the 3d model of typhlosion doesn't have the fire neck

it's how it is in the msg

2d sprites have the fire, 3d models don't

@wraith flame

[wraith flame]

why tho

[torn arrow]

idk

game freak couldn't properly model it or something, idk

so they left it out

[wraith flame]

typhlosion looks dumb without it

[torn arrow]

or they just couldn't be bothered

[wraith flame]

they could model charizard tho....

[torn arrow]

yeah but it's charizard

[wraith flame]

they both have fire on their bodies -_-

[torn arrow]

game freak loves pikachu and charizard

and meowth

every other mon can go fuck themselves

-game freak

[final tulip]

you can also spin gyms for beedrill energy

[slow warren]

If you walk the steelix as a buddy after Mega evolving yeah you could make back the energy

[oblique ridge]

This

[tropic reef]

and evee

but yeah

[wraith flame]

so as long as it is mega evolved I will get energy and if it un-megas I won't? does adventure sync work with this?

[slow warren]

Once you mega evolve it once it will permanently be able to get mega energy via walking
Adventure sync works yeah as long as he's out and about as your buddy

Only works for that specific steelix as well, so if you have two and try to walk the one that was never mega'd, you can't get mega energy from it

[wraith flame]

oh makes sense thx

bruh why is onix needing 50 candies to evolve?

[wraith flame]

is it rare for that to happen I got 0 beedrill energy (I think) even though I spinned many gyms

[tropic reef]

ya same

i got basically none, all i got is from the research quest

[wraith flame]

seriously tho why do I need 50 onix candies dis sucks

[slow warren]

xd better than 400 candies to evolve magikarp/noibat

Onix should be in breakthrough research rn

[tropic reef]

tru

i literally only found my first noibat like a month ago too

how th am i gonna get like 120 of em

[slow warren]

walk with candy

[wraith flame]

I am not gonna walk with a stupid magikarp next to me

I would rather walk with onix, which I am doing but for some reason it is 5km like WHY

[glad rover]

If you want Mew you will. Since normal Mew’s research has a task to evolve a Magikarp

[glad rover]

Also it’s 5k since it’s a rock type. Rock types typically are 5k

[tropic reef]

im doing my dewott rn

[glad rover]

Not the worst really since legendaries and mythicals require 20km to get one candy for them

[wraith flame]

will feeding it any specific berries increase that chance?

or only poffins

[glad rover]

Poffins only. Or getting rare candies from raids help speed it up

[wraith flame]

before the 4th victory in battle league gave me rare candies but now all items are randomized idk why

[final tulip]

you might have to have mega evolved a beedrill already for that to happen

[final tulip]

this depends on the rank you have achieved

[wraith flame]

oh that explains legit everything

[wraith flame]

I am on level 5

[glad rover]

Interesting development, but will be nice to have one

[wraith flame]

yo, they don't even have much of the alolan or galarian dex completed but they directly jumped to hisui? nice

wait it is 30 January for me, so it will just start when 10:00 AM roles by right? (Or is it 10:00 AM for the devs' time zone?)

[glad rover]

It says right there 10am local time for each player

[wraith flame]

oh okay, so I just gotta wait for 9 hours and 29 minutes

and do it qvick coz season o' heritage ending

will hisuian voltorb be considered flex AFTER the event ends coz otherwise it would be pretty rare to come by I bet

I just wanna flex coz all I have to flex is a shiny bidoof and melmetal

[glad rover]

Maybe but it currently can’t evolve so they might update it eventually

[wraith flame]

will it need same amnt of candies as regular voltorb?

[glad rover]

Like how Galarian Farfetch’d couldn’t evolve at first when it was released into the game

[wraith flame]

actually I never evolved regular voltorb coz an electrode randomly spawned

completely making my voltorb hunting pointless

well... at least I could send all voltorb to willow and get lots of candies

[glad rover]

I have no idea but most likely yes

[final tulip]

all it means is that you need to complete the set to go up to the next rank

[wraith flame]

tbh I won't even evolve coz hisuian electrode looks dumb

it looks like it is about to cry...

but cry seeds or smth

[tropic reef]

alr got it but still dont get any

[wraith flame]

at least that is what my horrible nightmare depicted when I was like LEGIT IN HISUI in PLA and the Origin Forms of Dialga Palkia and Giratina surrounded me and arceus arose from the above and then a noble pokemon started attacking and all I had was a crying electrode who didn't do anything and I was gonna be killed but arceus saved me

lol that was the strangest dream I had in months tho tbh

[tropic reef]

what i dont get is how hisuian voltorb spawning

*will spawn

[wraith flame]

next to regular voltorb

[tropic reef]

like hisui is olden times right?

[wraith flame]

so I am thinking RNG

[tropic reef]

does a portal get opened or smt?

[wraith flame]

oh u mean the sensible point of view

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

well.. hisui is ancient times, that doesn't mean the pokemon are restricted to ancient times

[tropic reef]

no but they are

do you see them in sinnoh right now?

[wraith flame]

if it didn't get extinct then I don't see why it will not spawn, despite being extremely rare

[wraith flame]

that, my friend, is one of the many complications of releasing a game set in the past after u already released its present time counterpart

and their remakes

like it would be sensible to first do PLA

then bdsp can get all the stuff from past u know

now I am awaiting the release of Pokemon Legends Dialga and Legends Palkia

and Legends Giratina coz like why not

[tropic reef]

i dont think thats gonna happen

[wraith flame]

ofc it won't

[tropic reef]

i think the legends series if its gonna be asieres

[wraith flame]

but it makes sense it should

[tropic reef]

i think its gonna be like the trio master or the third member of the trio

like rayquaza and kyurem

[wraith flame]

but arceus is the trio master and FOURTH member of the trio

arceus is trio master of both creation and lake trio

[tropic reef]

ye

wait

[wraith flame]

AKA the trio master of Uxie Mesprit Azelf Dialga Palkia and Giratina

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

I think they should be doing special arceus raids cz of game release honestly

[tropic reef]

but then that would mean ho oh and lugia should both be games

cus the birds and the beasts

[wraith flame]

tho that might just be too OP cz that way u get a literal god on ur team

[wraith flame]

they both are

[tropic reef]

no i mean legends games

[wraith flame]

Gold and Silver
Heart Gold and Soul Silver

[wraith flame]

ohhh

[tropic reef]

if it were to be a series

[wraith flame]

but then even Legends Rayquaza should exist

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

and Legends Kyurem

and Legends Necrozma

[tropic reef]

ye those would be good

[wraith flame]

and Legends Eternatus

[tropic reef]

the last 2 would be wierd yes

but the others work perfectly

like in legends kyurem we might see the full legendary that split into the trio

[wraith flame]

story line, alternate universe where eternatus wins, completely destroying everythign

[tropic reef]

it would be back in time tho

so i think it would be basically the same story

just u getting to choose between one of the 2 brothers

ok we are getting very off topic from pogo

[wraith flame]

story line, merge of Ultra Necrozma, Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings, making Divine Necrozma, a pokemon that only arceus can beat, but arceus has been lost for a very long time, so long that it was last seen in Hisui, and then only in mystery gift boxes

[wraith flame]

true lol

would be cool if we could send hisuian voltorb to HOME and then send to PLA

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

I just want hisuian arcanine in pogo tho

its artwork looks so frickin cool

but whoever made origin forms of dialga and palkia should be suspended from life

[tropic reef]

dialga origin form looks cool imo

and i dont think anyone likes palkia origin

[wraith flame]

anyways, my mon who I put in a gym yesterday is not knocked out yet and it is like 1:00 AM so I am 100% getting at least 50 coins right?

[wraith flame]

to a certain extent maybe

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

k

I have finally found an efficient way to money farm

[radiant vigil]

Sus

[tropic reef]

its spawning now?

[tropic reef]

i wonder when its evo will arrive

[final tulip]

it's going to start spawning on the 30th after the rocket takeover event ends

[tropic reef]

then how

tf

[slow warren]

Time traveler

[tropic reef]

yes

[radiant vigil]

I'm in the futurw

[late echo]

Hi 👋

[analog steeple]

[dusty oracle]

Pokeball event later this month?

[wraith flame]

basically it spawns after 10:00 AM local time for players

so maybe they are in other time zone

[wraith flame]

for me here it is 9:38

so I gotta wait for like 20 more mins

[wraith flame]

wtf is Voltorb Candy XL?

is it something specific to hisuian voltorb?

[radiant vigil]

You start getting it at L40

It lets you power up your pokemon past L40

[wraith flame]

oh I am on 25

[radiant vigil]

Otherwise it works the same way but rarer

[wraith flame]

also how did u get 23 million stardust?

[wraith flame]

so any pokemon can get XL candies? cool

[final tulip]

milli is something we pvpers like to call a hoarder

[radiant vigil]

Yes

[radiant vigil]

I hoard everything. I've powered up what I needed for pve lol

[final tulip]

how many level 50s do you have

[radiant vigil]

3 most things are fine at L40

Also legendary xl candy is expensive else I'd have maxed my articuno to L50 already

[wraith flame]

do u think hisuian electrode will be added?

wait we need leaf stones?

[brisk bluff]

When does this research task for Hisui Voltorb pop up? I've been catching them for a bit but haven't gotten it

[glad rover]

Dang Voltorb can’t be sent to Pokémon Home

[glad rover]

It will eventually like how Sirfetch’d wasn’t in the game at first when Galarian Farfetch’d was released but was added later

It will most likely need 50 candy and it might have a special tedious task for you along with it in order to evolve it. Like how G-Yamask needs you to win ten raids to evolve it, or for G-Slowbro and Slowking that you need to catch 30 poison types/psychic types

Or it might just be 50 candy like G-Linoone and Mr. Mime only need the candy and don’t have a dumb tedious task requirement to evolve them

[wraith flame]

or maybe 50 candies near a grass lore? like that thing to evolve eevee to leafeon

I think the typing of hisuian voltorb is the only thing that is bad

I mean... well it looks cute but having two types advantageous to water is not a great thing imo

especially coz grass has most weaknesses

[dusty oracle]

Most likely won't be grass lure.

It will probably be unlocked in 3 weeks, during Pokeball event.

[dusty oracle]

Open the game on 30th of Jan post 10am, should then be in your special research tab.

[tropic reef]

whats the pokeball event

[dusty oracle]

It was in the monthly blogpost.

[tropic reef]

ok

[dusty oracle]

GO Tour Johto Leadup Event: From Friday, February 18, 2022, to Friday, February 25, 2022, get ready for Pokémon GO Tour: Johto with a Poké Ball–focused event!

[tropic reef]

okk

just a gbl thing

[dusty oracle]

?

[tropic reef]

wait no

i read wrong lol

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, just a regular event. ^^;

They're prolly waiting on people to play PLA for Hisuuian Electrode, as it hasn't officially been revealed as yet.

[tropic reef]

ye

[wraith flame]

will the Voltorb from Hisui research quest be easy?

I just played right now, and right when I was closing willow told me abt it

so I didn't see all the stuff to do, is it anything hard like snapshoting landorus or smth?

[faint badger]

catch 10, use 10 berries to help, 3 trats for buddy

5 minutes max (if you arent a rural player)

[tropic reef]

ye

pretty easy

what do the rewards give u tho

[faint badger]

since its wild pokemon id assume new voltorb

and 3 pinaps/razz

[wraith flame]

bah,easy peasy

[final tulip]

i’m pretty sure this is going to be something along the lines of: get stocked up on pokeballs for the johto tour

[wraith flame]

10 berries to help wht

help catch a mon?

[faint badger]

catch

[wraith flame]

k I will do tomorrow mornin coz for me less mon spawn at night

[faint badger]

theh only 3 challenges i have left are soft locked

most annoying stuff ever i stg

[wraith flame]
