[west marsh]

Have to be local

[plush comet]

My thunder punch Heatmor rocks the love cup

[wraith flame]

pog I got a shundo hoppip

I did not take a screenshot coz I am dumb

I am unable to flex in #pogo_showcase coz I suck

(oh I also caught a hoopa it was like the fifth(?) research in mysterious mischief)

[wraith flame]

prob here is woobat is the only spawning psychic type 😦

[tropic reef]

Third

[tropic reef]

ok

im pretty sure niantic doesnt know math

whenever i evolve a pokemon to its third stage i keep one of my candies that i used to evolve it

so basically you need 100 candy to evolve but only takes 99 to evolve

[slow warren]

When you evolve a mon you get 1 candy back for some reason

[tropic reef]

yea

[final tulip]

once you hit level 40 you can get a candy xl as well

[wraith flame]

caught a shiny celebi pog

also caught a shiny hoppip with 69 cp

that fits perfectly

[fickle shore]

birb

[lofty finch]

sup

[steel bough]

this would be fine on masters right?

planning to make it best buddy, just wanna know if its worth it

[sand trail]

Finally evolved it

[final tulip]

yes but it needs aqua tail

[tropic reef]

I dotn even remember walking this week lolol

[final tulip]

https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/cd-savethedate-mar-may/

no info about what the community day is featuring yet

[twilit sapphire]

dates dates dates

one sunday and the other two during saturtday

[wraith flame]

CAN THEY FRICKIN STOP WITH COMMDAYS AND STUFF THIS IS ANNOYING

I want to play plain simple pokemon go like I used to back in the day this is overwhelming

[tropic reef]

Bro comm days are gonna be every month regardless

[lucid frigate]

Cds have been a thing since 2018 lol

[tropic reef]

yea

[twilit sapphire]

lmao they been a thing since almost start

you can go play og pokemon games to play at your pace, you can play pokemon go like "back in the day" by ignoring the events and just catching, what's the problem with that? that's nothing different from "the old days"

but anyways, wonder if they gonna put Chespin in the next or in one of those or they gonna be doing the random mons

[tropic reef]

hopefully

i dont even have a quilladin yet

and if they add chespin

then they adding fennekin and greninja which i want good shiny forms of both

[dusty oracle]

Chespin's my best guess on what March is.

Makes the right amount of sense.

Starter now, starter in Juneish, starter in Septemberish.

[tropic reef]

yea same

but then again like someone else said they would be catching up with alola which they havent added yet

[twilit sapphire]

tfw they aren't even done with hoenn and sinnoh anyways

[slender lake]

[tropic reef]

They added galar ones before any alola

Thats just

Idk

[twilit sapphire]

that was just to commemorate, not even half of galar dex is available

[tropic reef]

yea

[twilit sapphire]

[odd glade]

Hey guys which from these three are the best for raids?
thundurus (regular form) / cresselia / heatran?

I have a lucky trade with myself and I wanna pick the one that will help me the most (all three are shiny on alt)

[final tulip]

heatran is probably the best out of those 3

but if you're looking for a strong raid attacker i'd probably lucky trade a non shiny

[odd glade]

rip

just wanted a shiny raid attacker for flex

[dusty oracle]

Agreed on Heatran.

Thundy would be better if it gets forme switch.

[odd glade]

Ye I went on Heatran

[odd glade]

[twilit sapphire]

the pain of the people stuck in the tasks of taking pics of the genies

[lucid frigate]

None

[lucid frigate]

Luckily its a bad research anyway

[tropic reef]

Im still stuck in it -_-

On the thunderus stage

[twilit sapphire]

i did finish it but i see daily posts in fb of people asking for the genies for trade

just for the tasks

[final tulip]

they'll be back soon

hopefully this year

[lucid frigate]

With how long we had them i kinda hope we never see them again

[wraith flame]

I need landorus photo

where me get me landorus

[west marsh]

When it comes back into raids.

Which could be awhile since we had them sort of “recently” for a very long time.

Or you can trade locally for one. Granted you will need a decent amount of dust unless you are further along in friendship.

Those are kind of the only options as of now to obtain them.

[final tulip]

i'd say waiting is the better option since the quest isn't that great to begin with

[torn arrow]

is nyandorus (the animal form of landorus) better than mandorus

why was cleffa put on pokegenie

[final tulip]

yes the therian form is better than the incarnate form

[twilit sapphire]

Our city is getting ready for the irl event

[tropic reef]

Ohh dudeee

That looks so cool

Im kinda jelly

[dusty oracle]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/apex-reveal/

Ticket holders will be able to obtain both Apex Shadow Lugia and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh regardless of which version they select for Pokémon GO Tour: Johto.

Raids will include Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Lugia, and Ho-Oh!

[tropic reef]

wait whats an apex

[dusty oracle]

Shadow+, basically.

[twilit sapphire]

cooler shadows

[tropic reef]

oh ok

can i get it without ticket

[twilit sapphire]

no

[tropic reef]

oof

[twilit sapphire]

guessing the extra shadow mewtwo from last year is also an apex

[tropic reef]

what will be attracted to incense for non ticket holder

[twilit sapphire]

only sadness

[dusty oracle]

Just the event spawns.

[tropic reef]

😢

[dusty oracle]

Spinarak, Gligar, Teddiursa, Mantine, Ledyba, Delibird, Skarmory, Phanpy will be off the table for non-ticketholders, I assume.

[tropic reef]

oof

[twilit sapphire]

Timetables for the Tour

[slender lake]

Didn't know Masuda did music :o

[tropic reef]

lol

[twilit sapphire]

the other stuff

[tropic reef]

well anyways im def gonna get hoenn tour

hopefully i can get da shiny apex kyogr

[twilit sapphire]

the other other stuff

[dusty oracle]

Apexes can't be shiny

[twilit sapphire]

i really want that ho oh bag

[slender lake]

2k egg Togepi

[dusty oracle]

0.5k egg Togepi

[slender lake]

[tropic reef]

no extra candy for meee

sad

[twilit sapphire]

@slender lake music from last year's tour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71tXQo4UOkM

[slender lake]

Oo

[twilit sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLueTrwsh3AeYGXT-m09wr5AneQF_V1wPh

[slender lake]

I've never had the music on in game

[twilit sapphire]

the rest of the songs

[dusty oracle]

Go Tour/Fest are the two things I actually spend on in PoGo.

[twilit sapphire]

i only had the during the tour because the music was so good and the updated remix sounds cool

[slender lake]

Truuu

[twilit sapphire]

guess the music for this tour gonna be the songs of the timetable

[odd glade]

Apex shadow vs shiny mew 🤔

[twilit sapphire]

well they already gave shiny onion

don't think they would give it twice

[tight pilot]

Not only that but announced right at the end vs at the beginning, tempted to buy a ticket now but missed out on 2 months of research so that kinda annoys me

[twilit sapphire]

yeah i missed the hats too

big sadge

hope they sell them later

[odd glade]

I bought the ticket for the event itself this time anyways, kanto tour was surprisingly fun in the last year

[tight pilot]

Noibat encounter + 75 candy woulda been nice, think you can still get but just salty about it

[tropic reef]

yea

[twilit sapphire]

i think it was if you got it before the 10th only

[tight pilot]

It felt supppper overwhelming and not enough time

[odd glade]

The rewards weren't that great anyways, unless you wanted the hat :|

[twilit sapphire]

yeah i had so much fun during the kanto one

had like half of repeat shinies but the new ones were great

can't wait to hear the national park theme pogo ver

[analog steeple]

Both are p solid for PvP but can’t imagine many players care about that

Looks like the ticket is a pass for me

[twilit sapphire]

commdays and events being too much about pvp is pain

[analog steeple]

Especially funny when the state of PvP is absolute turd nuggets

[twilit sapphire]

yeah lol

[glad rover]

So a Shadow Lugia and Shadow Ho-oh are the rewards for the Johto Masterwork research?

[twilit sapphire]

yeh

most likely

[glad rover]

Well I guess that was the best they could come up with

[analog steeple]

Hard to beat shiny mew in their defense

[glad rover]

And they already released shiny Celebi in an easy research

[twilit sapphire]

yeah, i've seen post in our local group asking when the shiny mew event is coming back

and im just like

[analog steeple]

I almost wonder if they didn’t plan to do another kanto tour style event and saw all the money that came in and decided to do johto

[glad rover]

Yeah not going to happen ever again. Shiny Mew’s definitely one Pokémon they keep under a very strong lock and chain

[twilit sapphire]

the idea was good but, the fact they gave shiny onion later that year was

[tropic reef]

shiny deoxys for hoenn tour??

[glad rover]

Jirachi

[tropic reef]

maybe???

[tropic reef]

oh yea true

[analog steeple]

Shiny Jirachi

[twilit sapphire]

i prefer jirachi

[glad rover]

Deoxys’ shiny is already out

[tropic reef]

yea

[glad rover]

Excited for that next week

[twilit sapphire]

me waiting for shaymin and manaphy/phione

[tropic reef]

i was shiny hunting deoxys anyway so ill be happier with jirachi

[twilit sapphire]

[tropic reef]

oh dude i have to grind pc before next week

gonna be hard

[glad rover]

Manaphy might be a bit more complex because of the egg and Phione coming from breeding. But Shaymin should hopefully come soon now that they’ve figured out how to change a Pokémon’s forms

[twilit sapphire]

yeah, furfrou was a blessing in that change form mechanic

[glad rover]

And they even continued that with Hoopa

[tropic reef]

but are they really gonna change the legendaries that alr exist?

like theres alr an origin giratina just a diff mon

we sure that they gonna added form changing for those?

[twilit sapphire]

yeah, also thinking how they plan to implement origin forms for dialga and palkia

[tropic reef]

yea

[glad rover]

The complex part about Shaymin’s form change I could think of is that in the games at nighttime it reverts back to the normal form. Since Sky Form’s only available during the day time

[twilit sapphire]

also meloetta's form

[tropic reef]

maybe hopefully going back in time

would love to have dumbbell throat llama

[twilit sapphire]

let us put armor to Mewtwo

[glad rover]

I never was able to get one of those

[twilit sapphire]

im just holding them in case i get to trade them to someone who missed the event

[glad rover]

I’m sure if I knew about Pokégenie when it was happening I would’ve got one

[twilit sapphire]

pokegenie didn't have that feature by the time this event was happening

the raid feature is pretty recent

armor mewtwo is from 2019

remote raiding was introduced in april 2020

[odd glade]

We will have to wait all the way to gen 5 for shiny victini/keldeo (assuming arceus will not be shiny locked in bdsp)

oh AND MELOETTA

Why TPC hates gen5 mythical shinies

They updated the +/++ moves power, wasn't there 20-30mins ago

[rotund copper]

Hmm

Would that be worth it though?

Lose the bonus attack power by purifying it for an extra 25 power in raids

[sleek quarry]

I hope they have IV floors. Cuz I'm not looking to another 10/6/6 shadow

[rotund copper]

0/0/0 would be cool tho

[twilit sapphire]

me who have all myths with shit ivs

[rotund copper]

Same

[analog steeple]

I think zarude is my only good one

10/15/15

[rotund copper]

Meloetta is my only good one

13/15/15

[odd glade]

If purified will be trade able and you have an alt account you can just keep them shadow in your main and trade the purified with your alt

[exotic yoke]

assuming arceus ever comes to that game

honestly, I'm rather disappointed that all we're getting are souped-up shadows

and not even the fun kind, like maybe XD-001

[dusty oracle]

It should have a 10/10/10 IV floor.

[odd glade]

Meh if you said that like 2 months ago I would say no chance we are not getting it, but seeing they are not even updated GTS and union room yet (game is out for 3 months already?), I lost all faith in any future event for BDSP. I still think we will get all the mythical in there eventually (gift/event) but I won't be surprised if we don't.

[torn arrow]

we were told GTS would be here early 2022

we have another month for gts then it's just bs at this point

[odd glade]

At this point I couldn't care less, I didn't open my SP save file for a long while... It's just bizarre that they promised us x stuff in the trailers which we didn't get.

[twilit sapphire]

100/10

best clothing

[tropic reef]

oh yes

pogg

did they announce when electrodes coming?

[twilit sapphire]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/pokeball-prep-go-tour-prep-event

[final tulip]

gunfisk in the wild with a shiny chance is nice

[wraith flame]

WAIT IT IS ADDED?

[tropic reef]

not yet

on the 18th

[wraith flame]

dangit

[wraith flame]

what timezone?

there are still 2 days for it to be 18th for me

huh?
https://pokemongolive.com/en/seasons/heritage/

team GO rocket leaders will have a shadow ho-oh or lugia?

I don't understand I am confused now

[safe cedar]

Hey, I have 2 shiny Darkrais in my PoGo box how much are these worth if I transport them to Pokemon Home?

[tight pilot]

Since they would currently be locked to home, honestly not much besides another shiny myth swap (in which you’ll find way more clones/hacks etc before you find a decent legit trade so watchout) .. imo wait until home transferring is avail to BDSP/PLA as we dont know how they’re going to add it in yet & if you send to home now you may not be able to send there afterward (sort of like the Let’s Go games

[wraith flame]

umm

[dusty oracle]

No.

They're the rewards for the Masterwork Research accessed by the Go Tour ticket

Like it says on the page that page links to.

[glad rover]

Oh wow just 50 candy, no stupid evolution requirement. Perfect I already have enough to evolve my voltorb then

[tropic reef]

Bruh

I cant walk over there and slaking

[odd glade]

What's the next deoxys? att or def?

[mortal root]

I think its going attack then defense

[odd glade]

Oh awesome thanks

[mortal root]

then speed

[tropic reef]

yea

[torn arrow]

the uk is currently on permanent wind due to two different storms hitting us so yay to deoxys weather boost

[charred rapids]

Does deoxys have boosted shiny odds?

[tropic reef]

no

the same 1/20 as every other legend

[slow warren]

For the event quest of Thousand Year Slumber, "Battle a trainer 7 times" can you do that in go battle league? Or only a battle via the freidn list thing

[lucid frigate]

Either way works

[tropic reef]

how do u get the thousand year slumber quest

i need jirachi

[slow warren]

Ty 😄

But I think its an event sequence?
I unlocked it after I completed the quest for Celebi, which was unlocked after I did the mew quest

[tropic reef]

Ook

Im halfway on celebi

[wraith flame]

I completed celebi where my Thousand Year Slumber

also I never completed the mew quest

[slow warren]

Google but shrug they appeared exclusive for me unless I wasnt paying attention

[wraith flame]

is celebi quest "Distracted by Something Shiny!"?

[final tulip]

that's the shiny celebi quest i believe

[wraith flame]

yes it is

so is THIS celebi quest wes is referring to different from the shiny celebi quest?

[radiant vigil]

they are different

shiny celebi you could only get the quest at specific time windows, the other celebi quest you can get any time when you've unlocked the prerequisites

[wraith flame]

but shiny celebi is better

[radiant vigil]

hence why it was limited release i assume

was released initially cos some celebi movie came out in japan

[wraith flame]

wasn't it for release of Secrets of The Jungle?

that is why Jessie and James were added from anime

plus I am 100% sure in that movie celebi was at the very least MENTIONED once

[radiant vigil]

yeah that's the one

[wraith flame]

where in the world do dittos spawn tho

can it only transform into

Gastly
Drowzee
Teddiursa
Remoraid
Gulpin
Numel
Stunky
Dwebble
Foongus
?

or also

Weedle
Pidgey
Rattata
Zubat
Paras
Paras
Venonat
Mankey
Voltorb
Magikarp
Sentret
Hoothoot
Ledyba
Spinarak
Hoppip
Yanma
Zigzagoon
Whismur
Seedot
Skitty
Bidoof
?

[dusty oracle]

Just the former list.

https://www.leekduck.com/FindDitto/

[lucid frigate]

Second list has some super outdated mons

Like magikarp

[wraith flame]

are any of the formal list mon even spawning in whatever event is going on now?

what event is even going on now I lost track

[final tulip]

all of that list except gastly and drowzee are spawning fairly often

[west marsh]

I get a ditto like once every few days because of Gulpin. They are everywhere for me

[cerulean imp]

Will attack, defense and speed deoxys be rotating into raids as well?

[west marsh]

Yes

[cerulean imp]

Cool, cheers

[glad rover]

Yeah each one’s only in raids 3 days each

Speaking of. I still need to do a raid for one before Normal form’s gone

[tropic reef]

I got celebi quest on like part 6

[final tulip]

@steel bough i’d suggest for you to save your etm for something else

[tropic reef]

-_- my younger self didnt know what etms were so i wasted it on a random move for melmetal

[wraith flame]

Are the tickets for Johto Tour still purchasable? And do we have to be at a specific place for features or can I do it sitting in mah home?

also apex shadow lugia can be captured in the GO Johto Tour's silver version right?

can...someone respond?

(ik it is a little rude but I rlly wanna know)

(my exams are coming up I don't want time clashing)

[final tulip]

yeah they will be

[final tulip]

you can capture both apex shadows regardless of what version you choose

[dusty oracle]

There's some aspect of beating up Rocket Grunts + Gym Trainers

So having access to stops may be beneficial.

[wraith flame]

but do we need to purchase the ticket to get apex shadows and do the questlines?

it is like 50 in my local currency here

[wraith flame]

my house is a pokestop. no scratch that my house is TWO pokestops

(not exactly there are two fountains outside my house both are pokestops)

[tropic reef]

Yea

[odd glade]

I tried to compare between both versions (red- shinies I want, yellow- shinies I don't have in any game) , and I still can't decide which version I will pick

[tropic reef]

silver

hz legend u dont have in any game and u want right

and also larvitar shiny

[dusty oracle]

Yes

It's a ticket thing.

[wraith flame]

Guess who just caught a Deoxys from a raid battle

[wraith flame]

damn it is like 50 in my local currency

you might be wondering, bruh that is cheap but my parents are the "Don't spend on useless stuff" kind

EVEN THO I have like 5000 in my piggy bank, but they are saying "Don't spend your money", and I really wanna say "Dude it is MY money"

but I can't coz I would get a serious shouting

[wraith flame]

about this....the only deoxys form that is added is regular deoxys right?

why is everyone quiet

[dusty oracle]

Because you're asking a question and expecting an answer within 2 minutes.

[analog steeple]

Also some of us are working

Or at school

[dusty oracle]

Or marking schoolwork. Best of both worlds.

[odd glade]

Ye but I'm not sure how many raids I will be able to have because it was super intense in the last tour

[analog steeple]

Marking schoolwork

Giving everyone As

[odd glade]

But Silver shinies are a bit better

[dusty oracle]

Alas, it's not how it works.

[analog steeple]

Ugh this is a tough one. I’d probably go Gold even though lugia is my boy

[dusty oracle]

But for those who put the effort in; effort shall be returned to them

[twilit sapphire]

I believe in Ho oh supremacy

Even if its shit in pogo

[analog steeple]

I’ve been ride or die lugia since Gold/silver

[dusty oracle]

To answer the question, yes, currently, the other formes are coming in the next few days.

[twilit sapphire]

Ho oh is my fave legendary so it was an ez pick too

[dusty oracle]

And yes, that looks like Pokegenie, although I wouldn't necessarily advise putting active links to the google play store in the chat.

Aimee and Cho, why not both?

[analog steeple]

[dusty oracle]

Google rewards are surprisingly good if you fill out all the opinion forms

[twilit sapphire]

Wow sure let me spend $600 of my currency and not eat a month or two

[analog steeple]

Do it

[dusty oracle]

Eating's overrated

Sleeping even more so

[analog steeple]

Eating is quite temporary

Ho oh and lugia are forever

[twilit sapphire]

Also my bf is getting Silver side so I don't worry about the trading

He also paid for me both Tours so

[dusty oracle]

Cute goals

[twilit sapphire]

it was so weird seeing a press conference about the event

[lucid frigate]

You havent seen it in ml then

[twilit sapphire]

[lucid frigate]

Ig you mean pve tho

[twilit sapphire]

in general, ho oh has neven been treated with love in usefulness

rip my eyes

[wraith flame]

oh because from your screenshots it look different to the one I use

[dusty oracle]

They're definitely not my screenshots; I don't use Pokegenie.

But that is the Pokegenie logo.

[wraith flame]

no not your, I mean everyone here's

and okay imma delete the link

[tropic reef]

that looks so cool tho

[radiant vigil]

Pogo flash bang

[steel bough]

oh, do you have an idea which pokemon would be good with a legacy move?

[final tulip]

as mitch said psystrike mewtwo is worth the investment

[steel bough]

i dont have a mewtwo currently. any clue when its gonna be back on raids or in team rocket?

[final tulip]

just save it then

no idea when it will be back

[winged axle]

I have a perfect iv of Helioptile. And i have a question, Which Electric move are the better one? Thunderbolt or Parabolic Charge?

[dusty oracle]

Thunderbolt

But neither are good

[lucid frigate]

The answer is don’t use heliolisk

[wraith flame]

lmfao

anyways if I asked my father to buy the Johto Tour ticket (which I did), and he said "maybe" (which he did), in YOUR experience, what does that mean?

[tropic reef]

Its means a maybe

Depends on if u do well on smt or not

Idk

[west marsh]

It just means maybe lol. Ask again in a few days. Just behave until then?

[wraith flame]

how....Do I just study extremely hard (which I don't like doing), because my exams are like 5 days after the Johto Tour?

they are my finals tho so the portion is a LOT

where is the exclusives list for the johto tour?

[west marsh]

Honestly every parent is different. Just be good. Do some extra chores around the house. Help out. Study. Just basic stuff.

[wraith flame]

https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/deoxys-pokemon-go-raid-battle-tips/#which-pokemon-to-use

OR... just join a raid with people who have giratinas and zekroms and stuff and u will be fine (thats what I did even tho I caught deoxys I felt embarassed bcz the only actual pokemon I could flex was melmetal)

at least NEXT time I can flex my deoxys in a raid

[west marsh]

I mean, deoxys is a very easy legendary to raid for. Aside from defense form. Plus with it being a regular t5 boss. It’s not really a flex anymore.

[wraith flame]

when it LEAVES raids tho....

[west marsh]

So does every legendary.

[wraith flame]

changing forms manually isn't allowed tho right?

(not possible*)

[west marsh]

No, not possible.

[wraith flame]

I think next year when we are back for a hoenn tour they will add a meteorite...

[west marsh]

For what usage?

[wraith flame]

so lemme get stuff straight. If my father DOES say yes, and I buy the ticket, what next? Do I need to go somewhere or sit in my home?

[wraith flame]

changing form of deoxys

[west marsh]

I don’t believe so.

I don’t think they’ll do a change form for any pokemon aside from Furfrou.

OR orcorio

[wraith flame]

I think it fill fit having an item

btw does hisuian electrode exist?

[west marsh]

I just don’t foresee it happening because then there’s a few other people that they could use it for.

[wraith flame]

now?

[west marsh]

He does for the new event.

[wraith flame]

did the event start?

[west marsh]

Also if you get the event ticket you can play from home.

[wraith flame]

it is 18th here already

[west marsh]

10am locally from the 18th

[wraith flame]

yay no need to double mask because my mother made it mandatory to wear two THICK masks whenever I leave home

[wraith flame]

AKA 10 minutes from now

(for me)

[west marsh]

Then yes, if it’s almost 10am for you. It’ll start the possibility for Hisuian Electrode

[wraith flame]

umm can event boxes be purchased through the entire event course? because I think giving remote raid passes for 1 pokecoin is too OP

eh whatever, this way I can get 342 remote raid passes, I will be rich!

[west marsh]

That’s a box that’s redeemable every Monday

It’s only a one time purchase

[wraith flame]

no yesterday night there was an Event Box and I could purchase it as many times as I wanted, how do you think I caught deoxys, huh?

[west marsh]

It’s supposed to only be once per Monday.

So maybe it was a glitch?

Also there’s other means to catching a deoxys. Aka raiding locally.

[wraith flame]

if it was Imma be filthy rich

[west marsh]

It’ll fix itself probably.

[wraith flame]

I don't get legendary raids locally, only normal and mega raids

[wraith flame]

if it doesn't imma be filthy rich

[west marsh]

They spawn. You just don’t see them.

I mean. Kind of ? It’s just remote passes and silly items.

[wraith flame]

then they must be too far, because the Pokemon > Raids shows only mega bosses and some other event raid bosses

there was once a regirock raid but no one actually wanted to help me

[west marsh]

It happens

[wraith flame]

but when I continue battling in raids I get rare candies

rare candies = more candies for mon

more candies = higher cp

[west marsh]

I mean true. I know how rare candies work. Lol

[wraith flame]

higher cp = better gym defense

better gym defense = 50 coins

the cycle repeats

[west marsh]

Not necessarily

[wraith flame]

wdym

[west marsh]

Higher CP defenders diminish faster. So they’ll be low CP after a few hours and easier to kick out.

[wraith flame]

why?

[west marsh]

Plus type advantage really makes it easy for most. High CP’s don’t really scare many players.

Just how the system works.

[wraith flame]

then...

what if I put my 5cp weedle

will it diminish slowly?

(actually it was 10cp)

[west marsh]

It will, but still and easy take over cause it requires one hit.

[wraith flame]

then....

abt 1560 cp rhydon?

that did serious damage to deoxys

in the raid battle

[charred rapids]

Then nothing no matter what ya put in the gym will be taken, gym defending in this game ain’t balanced

[wraith flame]

unless I put it in a gym that no one goes to

[west marsh]

True but then you won’t get your coins lol

[wraith flame]

I will after a month or so

[charred rapids]

Then any Pokémon will be fine in a gym no one goes to

A month of 50 coins is a bit rough lol

[wraith flame]

even a 10cp weedle?

[west marsh]

Yeah…

[wraith flame]

weedle supermacy

[charred rapids]

You’d want to aim for the gyms that get taken, even if you last even half the time you’ll rake in far more

[wraith flame]

there is a mall nearby, and the mall itself is a gym. So I suppose most people just walk there and take it on from the OUTSIDE, but there is even a gym that is of an escalator INSIDE the mall, where I could put pokemon, so it is moderately taken, and can only be done if someone actually decides to enter the mall

[charred rapids]

Take both

[west marsh]

You need to last a little over 8 hours collectively to get coins. I always try to take 2-3.

[wraith flame]

I am really not wanting to put abomasnow in gyms coz it has double weakness, but it is the 4th strongest pokemon in my team, and the top 3 are the ones I use for the GO Battle League

but I wonder....deoxys could make into top 5, so probably aerodactyl can defend gyms for now

I never actually checked how good deoxys was, my battery was on 2% while doing the raid, so my phone shut down RIGHT AFTER deoxys registered to dex

[west marsh]

Literally throw in whatever

Deoxys isn’t that meta for PvE anyways. Not sure where he stands for PvP, but I assume defense form is better.

[charred rapids]

Yeah don’t be worrying about double weaknesses or anything, doesn’t matter what it is if someone wants the gym they’ll go for it regardless what it is

[lucid frigate]

Defense is the only useful form

[wraith flame]

I am an attack kind of person tho

[lucid frigate]

For pvp only, all other forms suck for pve and pvp

[west marsh]

^ Deoxys just really isn’t super meta

[lucid frigate]

If you want a good psychic, mewtwo

But even it is a bit overrated (besides shadow form with shadow ball) since psychic coverage is fairly limited

[final tulip]

psychic isn't a very useful type to begin with

if you want a good non stab shadow ball user darkrai does the job pretty well

[wraith flame]

is darkrai in raids tho?

[final tulip]

it was back in october

[cold saffron]

Usually around Halloween

[wraith flame]

but I would have to wait months for it

in that case

[west marsh]

Yep. Waiting is a very reoccurring thing in Go.

[wraith flame]

dude it is like 10 months that is a LONG wait

[final tulip]

patience is a virtue

[wraith flame]

patience for 10 months isn't supposed to be

man I seriously want to get the Johto Tour ticket, Heritage is the only season I did everything thing and I want to complete it till the end now

[final tulip]

personally i was pleasantly surprised that we got deoxys back so soon

especially not only 1 form with a shiny lock

[wraith flame]

what will happen on bidoof day dis year?

[west marsh]

Who knows. All up in the air with Niantic. Possibly nothing.

[torn arrow]

first time I've got a weather warning

[wraith flame]

stay home stay safe

[torn arrow]

no

it's just a light breeze

[wraith flame]

still

stay home stay safe

[torn arrow]

even though the met office have called it a storm (specifically Storm Eunice) I don't think it's that bad

[wraith flame]

still

stay home stay safe

[torn arrow]

it was pretty rainy though, so I didn't go out then

[wraith flame]

u don't wanna get injured while catching pokemon (I really wanna make an exception for shiny bidoof but then u might die so ye)

[torn arrow]

in other parts on england it's a complete ness

*mess

trees go to sleep on the road

but where I am it's been fine

[wraith flame]

it thinks u are in dangerous lands

[torn arrow]

it's just not normal to be really windy

[wraith flame]

it thinks hoopa has called all the legends into one place, destructing your surroundings

who knows, the fallen trees might be regigigas

or sudowoodo idk

[torn arrow]

search up storm eunice on google

[wraith flame]

is it better to be a PVEer or PVPer?

[torn arrow]

apparently there was some floodig somewhere

[wraith flame]

Or both basically means you PVE (like raid) for stuff to PVP

[torn arrow]

well ig pveer

pvp gets miserable

with gbl being laggier that a computer from the 1600's

[wraith flame]

yo

[torn arrow]

and riddled with bugs

[wraith flame]

I finally got access to da phone today

imma click the Evolve button on hisuian voltorb

[torn arrow]

not saying raids are better but there are less bugs and less general bs there

[wraith flame]

this is the closest I can get to do PL:A stuff till I buy it for my bday

[wraith flame]

but raids are good....

[torn arrow]

well they are better, but it still has its issues

[wraith flame]

I like raids

tho, coz this is the closest we can get to my fav pkmn mechanic, dynamax/gigantamax

[torn arrow]

yeah ig

wait wtf the fuck

do you have swsh on your switch

[wraith flame]

no

[torn arrow]

how does one prefer dmax over say megas or something

dmax and gmax is just "hehe pokemon go beeg"

[wraith flame]

no

gmax makes my favourite pokemon (charizard) look even cooler

[torn arrow]

gmax charizard looks like he just suddenly ate a shit ton of food and is now out of shape

gmax blastoise looks cool though

[wraith flame]

also because I usually get my dynamanx band before mega ring in pixelmon playthroughs

[torn arrow]

if there was a "my 600lb life" but for pokemon, gmax zard would 100% be on that show

[lucid frigate]

If you said that like last year, id disagree. But nowadays, i can’t argue against that

[wraith flame]

is there seriously no way to do the ultra/great league once u have unlocked master?

I legit hate these stupid giratina sweepers

[torn arrow]

oh shit I just found out that I live in a red area

[wraith flame]

what

[torn arrow]

that's not poggers

[wraith flame]

what is a red area

[torn arrow]

that basically means that the weather is at its worst in that area

[wraith flame]

does that mean u better stay home stay safe even if u have an oppurtunity to catch shiny bidoof?

[torn arrow]

well you should do that, but nobody is stopping you from going out

wind is apparently getting to over 90mph on the coast

[wraith flame]

would u rather die get injured or have a shiny bidoof?

[torn arrow]

shiny bidoof kinda clapped ngl

and I can always find another one

but I'd rather not get injured

[wraith flame]

the only reason I am talking abt shiny bidoof is because it is my favourite (and technically only) flex in #pogo_showcase

[torn arrow]

well I got 4 a-meowths on its spotlight hour

shiny hat shinx and shiny glasses sneasel

level 1 hundo electabuzz

shiny deino from field research

[wraith flame]

Should I:
Evolve my Hisuian Voltorb
OR
Catch another Hisuian Voltorb and evolve that bcz I seriously think Hisuian Voltorb is so cuteeee

[torn arrow]

2 attempts for shiny reshiram and 3 attempts for shiny zekrom

I think you should get another hisuian orb so you have the family

[wraith flame]

yes but I don't have regular orb....

and won't that just consume two more spaces in my boxes?

(party*)

[torn arrow]

yes it will

do you live in a rural area?

[wraith flame]

no

[wraith flame]

isn't that a bad thing?

[torn arrow]

shouldnt be an issue then

you can buy more bag space with pc

[wraith flame]

how much space does the extra bag space add?

[torn arrow]

50

for 200pc

[wraith flame]

out of rhyperior and magnezone which is better addition to party?

[torn arrow]

wdym?

[wraith flame]

I have rhydon and magneton

[torn arrow]

they do different things

[wraith flame]

so I am asking which is better to evolve

[torn arrow]

why not get both

unless you only have one sinnoh stone

[wraith flame]

idk getting one will be easier

[wraith flame]

think I had 4...or was that dragon scale.....

I definitely have ONE sinnoh stone

[torn arrow]

okay

hmm

I say go for rhyperior

[lucid frigate]

Rhyperior wont get the cd move

[wraith flame]

yes I think that is better

my only fire coverage atm is aerodactyl

but pokegine analysis says it has 46% ivs

imma check rhydon ivs

[torn arrow]

send pic of iv bars

[wraith flame]

one sec

[torn arrow]

right it's been more than a second, hurry up

[wraith flame]

dude...... I will.....soon™️

I am doing smth now

if I do a mega raid and win (in groups ofc) can I catch the mega raid boss in addition to get mega energy for the boss?

[torn arrow]

you get mega energy as a reward for beating the raid

if you catch the mon you don't get extra energy

and the mon you catch is the normal form, not the mega form

[tropic reef]

Pog

[valid sentinel]

@fleet ivy hi, are you the Sunflora that just invited me for 3 Deoxys in a row? Just wanted to say thanks 😊

[crisp relic]

colMustang / Robert has given 1 'General Rep' to clau.

[fleet ivy]

yep! my pleasure, thanks for joining

[odd glade]

Which version did you choose?

[west marsh]

Going gold cause I want shiny spinarak

[odd glade]

Shiny spooder

I think I will also go gold for shiny shuckle

[final tulip]

i have 3 of those sami, you want one when we eventually get lucky friends

[west marsh]

If you didn’t live on the other side then a solid maybe lol

[charred rapids]

I will go both, for everything

[tropic reef]

imma go with the silver cus i wanna get the shiny skarmory lugia and tyrannitar

apex shadow lugia shouldve been colored as shadow lugia smh

🚨Because early qualifiers for Worlds ends with S10, Niantic will be increasing battle sets in GO Battle League from 5 to 20 from Thursday the 24th to Monday the 1st🚨

Twitter · Feb 18, 2022, 11:55 PM

Like 18 extra days worth of sets

[final tulip]

oh so go battle day everyday?

interesting

[lucid frigate]

In terms of sets, yes

But no bonus dust and iv floor isn’t removed

[final tulip]

i figured as much but the extra deoxys chance is nice

[tidal temple]

Just got this, not too familiar with Go, but IVs are good so I'm assuming it's good?

Got it from a remote raid

[final tulip]

not really

all the deoxys forms are bad in pve and defense is the only good one in pvp

[wraith flame]

So I just wanna understand....let's say I go to the Shop in the PoGo app and click to buy the Pokemon GO Johto Tour Ticket, and I buy it, do I need to do anything additional/go somewhere or will mon just start spawning near my house on 26th, and will I get the masterwork research?

[odd glade]

The mons will spawn for everyone,
what the ticket does is

• attracting exclusive mons to your incense
• giving you a lot of extra shiny rolls for certain pokemons
• exclusive event research + masterwork research when the event is over
• extra catching candies (like a lot of extra catching candies)
• some premium raid passes when you spin the gyms

[odd glade]

Eer let's see if att deoxys is really soloable as ppl say and for what cost (revives)

lmao that raid is a joke, it's easier than some of the 3* raids ._.

[west marsh]

Lol yes

[torn arrow]

I failed a solo deoxys-a raid

but i got it into red

it's still a very easy duo

[final tulip]

it’s an easy solo too

you probably need to upgrade your counters or get better ones

[static flare]

Hey yall can someone help me with deoxys raid?

[tight pilot]

This ^ very easily solo-able

[torn arrow]

yeah I do, some of my mons were level 25-30

however I usually don't level up mons so I can solo them

[hasty obsidian]

Has anyone here done all the Hoopa quests (including the ones that only give candids) but never used any candy/given any rare candy to it?

I'm looking to know the total amount of candies you get from all of that if anyone's able to check

[tight pilot]

Should be just shy of 100 (maybe 80-100 because i know i’ve dumped some rare candy into it but not a lot!)

[hasty obsidian]

yeah I believe it's 86 or so, I changed its form but wanted to give it candies to have it with its "default" amount of candies

[wraith flame]

should I recap the season of heritage?

I have been working on a good way to say the story for so long in my head

So.... once professor willow discovered this big door and all trainers and team leaders decided to help him open it. After reading the inscriptions on the walls blanche concluded that the first lock can be opened with ice and ground type pokemon so she modified incenses to attract specifically those pokemon like swinub. they eventually managed to open the first lock, and a big shake happened, sending dragon type pokemon from unova, including zekrom, reshiram and druddigon (who debuted in pokemon go), across the world. after that we had a christmas break to exchange gifts. then spark said the second lock needs rock type pokemon, so mega aerodactyl debuted, and eventually we managed to open the second lock. finally we needed electric type pokemon, so many electric type pokemon, including helioptile and heliolisk (who debuted), started spawning. but while trainers were catching these, team go rocket striked. after trainers cleared out the grunts, prof. willow and the team leaders realized the door was open and everything behind it was....gone. apparently the team go rocket attack was a diversion and team go rocket used their own electric types to take whatever was behind the door. but there was no time to worry about that, as professor willow just discovered a ball like pokemon resembling pokeballs from the hisui region....Hisuian Voltorb. He asked trainers to catch as many as they can so he can conduct research to see if it can evolve. During this time Arlo stole something from the cave and created something more powerful than Shadow Pokemon....Apex Shadows. He converted Ho-Oh and Lugia into Apex Shadow Ho-Oh and Apex Shadow Lugia. Trainers must save these legendaries by going on a tour to a Johto Region. But of course they should use Ball Day Prep as an oppurtunity to stack up on pokeballs, as johto has its fair share of mons to catch. Speaking of pokeballs, Professor Willow discovered Hisuian Voltorb's evolution...Hisuian Electrode.

(ye...I am wiped out from typing that)

[glad rover]

It’s that weak you can do that?

If it is that weak I might just try and get 4 shinies for it, and wait until BDSP for them. I’ll have to spend an entire month transferring them anyway unless I spend some coins on the transfer energy

9000 CP less then normal Deoxys does sound really promising

[final tulip]

cp doesn’t really matter

it just has a paper thin defenses

[analog steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/soft-lakers-kobe-bryant-gif-11015107

[final tulip]

indeed

[lucid frigate]

I sneezed on accident near a raid and it fainted

[half kettle]

[crisp relic]

You gave General Rep too recently. You will be able to rep again in 45 seconds.

[tropic reef]

Wait are the incense stuff only attracted to incense?

Or can they be found in the wild

[west marsh]

If it says incense stuff. Then. What do you think lol?

[tropic reef]

Its def not incense stuff hehehe

Well maybe it spawns more with incense

Thats what i was thinking

[odd glade]

Shiny Deoxys ratio:
Alt 4 : Main 0
Raids Ratio:
Alt around 20 : main over 70

Thank you game 🙂

I hope they will let us transfer these to BDSP soon at least...

[wraith flame]

is it worth purifying apex shadows?

[final tulip]

no

it’s generally not worth purifying shadows unless it’s something like sableye that you can use for pvp

speaking of which @analog steeple

[twilit sapphire]

they building a gym

[wraith flame]

I mean....I do raids a lot

[final tulip]

niantic is actually putting effort into something

[final tulip]

well shadows are also better for raids

although they’re expensive and generally only matter in niche duo situations

[wraith flame]

but sacred fire++ and aeroblast++ have 25 more power in raids n gyms so....

[final tulip]

the 20% power boost from shadows is way better the 25 extra bp

[wraith flame]

20% power boost?

that exists?

[final tulip]

that’s why shadows are so good

[wraith flame]

why did they add purification if shadows are better

[final tulip]

some people like to purify

[wraith flame]

also....is it worth doing the legendary beasts raids which pokegenie says "starts in 5 days and...."

[final tulip]

i don’t like purifying shadows but i have to for the level 45 quests

[final tulip]

yeah for sure

[wraith flame]

I purified a magikarp for some purification quest coz I honestly don't see it in battles or as a gyarados atm

[final tulip]

only raikou and entei are good in pve but ho-oh and lugia are good in master league

suicune is sadly useless

[wraith flame]

wht abt suicune

eh, don't like suicune anyways

[final tulip]

gyarados is good in mlpc and ultra league

[wraith flame]

I like raikou and entei coz I like fire and electric types

[final tulip]

it’s also a really good water or dark type attacker

[wraith flame]

(DO NOT ASK ME WHY I AM GOING SILVER I PERSONALLY THINK LUGIA IS BETTER)

[wraith flame]

yes but what are the chances I will get 300 more candies to evolve it....

[final tulip]

the lunar new year event just happened

[wraith flame]

unless there will be a magikarp comm day

[final tulip]

you could have played a lot then

[wraith flame]

thats how I have 100

[final tulip]

unfortunately that has already happened

[wraith flame]

otherwise I had 20

[wraith flame]

celebrating 10 years since the release of Magikarp JUMP!

they should do that

and add all variants as well

[final tulip]

too much data

and it’s niantic

[lucid frigate]

Mine took me to legend this season, such an insane investment

[final tulip]

i need to start walking it

it has such a good match up into everything except charmers

too bad it’s 5km distance compared to scrafty which is only 3km

[lucid frigate]

I just distance traded all of mine from the spotlight hour

Was the only way i reasonably built it

[final tulip]

now to wait for another sableye event

i don’t think i even played that spotlight hour as hard as i played the beldum spotlight hour

[lucid frigate]

Couldn’t play the beldum one at all, weekday at noon is a terrible time for me

[final tulip]

i never thought i’d get a good sableye let alone invest xl candies into it

[final tulip]

i got lucky since i was free that day at 12

[wraith flame]

why?

[charred rapids]

Because it’s bulkiness and move spread, counter, rockslide, thunderbolt and/or psycho boost help it really well against meta

All the others are just flimsy and trash in every aspect

[wraith flame]

YOOO my dad bought me the ticket I am so happy

[wraith flame]

ok got it

when is the timed research for ball day prep rally ending?

I don't understand how can I complete 14 field research quests if I don't have 14 days to do them.

(u get 1 field research per day)

[torn arrow]

you can get them from spinning stops

[wraith flame]

do u get a free incense at the start of the johto tour as I have 0 incenses

[wraith flame]

really? does it require completing a previous field research?

[torn arrow]

you can hold 3 field researches at a time

[odd glade]

Considering we are only missing 10 lines of pokemon excluding leggos/myths, alola and galar, my bet is that we are going to get vivillon and gogoat lines in the spring season (Kecleon sits in the corner)

I wonder if they will start dropping gen 7 this summer

[wraith flame]

is it necessary to play in all 12 hours of the tour, or is 1 or 2 hours of playtime okay? also this

[tropic reef]

uh you just press ok when they die

then in the top left it says items

u can tap the revives and potions there and use em on pokemon

@wraith flame

[wraith flame]

no in the middle

in that video he healed in the middle of the raid battle

[tropic reef]

you cant do that

they just cut the healing out of the video

[wraith flame]

ohh....so basically they LOST to deoxys, healed and re-joined? and the raid boss retains HP? also is it necessary to play in all 12 hours of the tour, or is 1 or 2 hours of playtime okay? also do u get a free incense at the start of the johto tour as I have 0 incenses

[tropic reef]

yea

for the first one

you dont need to play the entire time

and i dont think youll be able to finish anything in an hour

so prolly half the tour is good

and im pretty sure you dont get a free incense but idk

[wraith flame]

what about 2 hours

[tropic reef]

prolly not

[wraith flame]

that is like 1/6th of the tour

[tropic reef]

like theres like 20 tasks

[wraith flame]

umm 3 hours?

[tropic reef]

idk

[wraith flame]

dude I don't wanna do the masterwork research during the tour -_-

[tropic reef]

im not counting masterwork

masterwork is only 4 really hard tasks

you need to finish the 20 tasks to get the masterwork after the tour im pretty sure

[wraith flame]

I need to finish all 20?

during the tour or if I finish all 20 after the tour I can still get

basically it is a special research right

[tropic reef]

idk for sure since i didnt do kanto tour but thats what i read

[wraith flame]

or is it timed research

[tropic reef]

yea

masterwork is special research

[wraith flame]

I couldn't as they banned the kanto tour in Abu Dhabi coz of covid

[tropic reef]

oof

[wraith flame]

no the 20 tasks

[tropic reef]

thats timed

for the johto tour

[wraith flame]

so I can't get masterwork without timed....?

[tropic reef]

i dont think so?

[wraith flame]

DUDE

there is no way I can complete 20 tasks in 1-3 hours

[tropic reef]

they are pretty easy takss tho

[wraith flame]

I mean.... I thought the masterwork is guaranteed after the johto tour

[wraith flame]

easy for urban or easy for rural as well

(I don't think anything is easy for rural honestly)

[wraith flame]

do u KNOW the tasks? coz I don't have time to express my anger about this news I never got. I would prefer a link for the research tasks

[tropic reef]

no

i dont know the tasks

[wraith flame]

umm then what is this all

[tropic reef]

but here are the kanto ones

[wraith flame]

ok

[tropic reef]

pretty easy tasks ngl

[wraith flame]

this literally looks like special research format

[tropic reef]

uh its the same for both

[wraith flame]

wait this is the TIMED research?

you can gain three hearts w/ your buddy in 12 hours?

[tropic reef]

yea

should take a minute at most

[wraith flame]

how do u get hearts with your buddy anyways

[tropic reef]

you feed your buddy berries

then it walks with you

then you can just do the things that give hearts

[wraith flame]

what gives hearts

[tropic reef]

one sec

[wraith flame]

I don't actually follow with buddies all I do is put them in my buddy slot to farm their candies

[tropic reef]

@wraith flame

[wraith flame]

k

I am still freaking out that I can't complete the timed research in time I mostly wanted to johto tour for apex shadows to complete heritage story

[tropic reef]

should be fine

[wraith flame]

still freaking out man why can't they make johto tour quests special research? did kanto tour do special or timed research?

[tropic reef]

timed

kanto tour was also timed

[wraith flame]

oh no I am not destined for completion 😦

so we can't get masterwork without timed research?

[tropic reef]

yea]

[toxic oxide]

I just wanted to share because I opened up the game randomly & didn’t even notice when I was catching him because it looks the same but omg I’ve never caught a shiny before besides like 1 time & it was an ugly pokemon but for it to be one of my favorite pokemon & my partner pokemon in the game is so crazy!!!!

& the reason i have so much bulbasaur candy is because of the fact I’ve had bulbasaur as my pokemon partner since the game came out lol, now i’m not sure if i should evolve him into venusaur or keep him as a cute shiny bulbasaur!

[wraith flame]

I am literally surprised about how many bulba candies you have

[wraith flame]

is that written somewhere I am extremely nervous now. I just made a plan for someway to do 3:30 hours of playing

[toxic oxide]

yeah man he’s been my partner since 2016!! I don’t play too regularly i just mostly catch pokemon here & there but this whole time he’s been racking me up some candy hahahaha

might be time to change it to charmander though so i can get me a Charizard!

[tropic reef]

i have about the same

[toxic oxide]

or maybe Turtwig for Torterra... we’ll see hahaha

[tropic reef]

there was a bulba comm day like a month ago

[tropic reef]

charizards are easy to find

def torterra

[toxic oxide]

oh man I think I remember that! I must’ve been busy though because I think I remember being bummed out I wasn’t able to have time to go on my phone & play

[wraith flame]

so...here it goes
8:30 AM - Wake Up
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - First Hour
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM - Study/Have Lunch
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Second Hour
4:00 PM - 7:30 PM - Study
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - Final hour (and 30 mins)
Rest of the day - Study/Have Dinner

[tropic reef]

oofff 7 hours of studying?

[wraith flame]

I know...but to get the time to play I gotta do smth good u know

[toxic oxide]

Okay I’ll make Turtwig my partner! I think I only have one so far, maybe 2. but since I’m always busy I’m sure it’ll feel like I’ll get my turtwig candies in no time lol

[wraith flame]

its not like I won't study religiously this whole week (not that I am happy abt it)

[tropic reef]

your parents might allow you to play a bit more instead of studying if you tell them about it

like to not waste the money

[wraith flame]

they already bought...

[wraith flame]

how do I explain....they don't like pokemon that much

(they do....a little)

All I said till now is "There is an event after which I can get something good only if I manage to do something during the event which will take 3 hours to complete (according to ur analysis)"

[tropic reef]

ik

[toxic oxide]

Good luck!! you got this!! I’m a very studious person too, once you put your mind to it it gets easier to stay in it

[tropic reef]

i mean to allow you to play so you dont waste the money

so you get all the rewards

[wraith flame]

I still think they should guarantee the masterwork quest after the event is done as long as u bought the ticket

I mean imagine something bad happens and u get COVID on the day of the event....

then what huh?

[tropic reef]

incense inside ur house

[wraith flame]

or probably injured or something idk

[tropic reef]

incense inside ur house

[wraith flame]

I have 0 incenses at least make it so u get a free incense at the start of the event

[tropic reef]

u can buy one with pc

i think its like 80 idk

[wraith flame]

that is expensive

plus I will probably need remote raid passes for the research...I have 2 tho

[tropic reef]

it gives 3 free

3 free passes in the shop during the tour

[wraith flame]

what

[wraith flame]

can't they give incenses -_-

do u believe I can do the whole timed research in just 3 hours and 30 minutes?

[tropic reef]

uhhh

theres a chance yea

[wraith flame]

what is the chance (in percent?)

no actually in fractional form

fractions are poggier

[tropic reef]

i would say like 40% idk

if u had like half an hour to an hour more i feel like you would be able to finish it all 100%

[wraith flame]

half or one? I could...hehe...sneak in a few minutes to my routine, that reduces my study time (which my parents won't be happy with)

[tropic reef]

prolly one

[wraith flame]

I could add 15 or 30 mins to the first two hours as well if u think that is sufficient

[tropic reef]

yea

[wraith flame]

imagine we will be discussing all this and it turns out that half the quests are claim and progress and the other half are spin pokestop/catch one mon/do one raid etc...

[tropic reef]

i doubt it

the only claim one is probably gonna be the first one

to get some pokemon to evolve during the quest like in kanto tour

[wraith flame]

no the kanto ones u sent had many claims

[tropic reef]

at the end

after finishing the tasks

only the first and last ones were claims

i would assume its the same for johto tour

[wraith flame]

[tropic reef]

[jagged sun]

anyone got some tips for trying to get a goomy in pogo?

[west marsh]

Probably hoping to get one from a 10k egg

[jagged sun]

aye

i havent got any of those

i am in a windi area tho

nvm, just turned to sunny 😔

[twilit sapphire]

[west marsh]

Even in windy weather your rate so so slim…

It’s been windy here for a couple of weeks now and I only see bagon and dratini

[twilit sapphire]

yeah get eggs and hope for rng best

[west marsh]

Pretty much :/

[jagged sun]

how hard are 10k eggs to get?

[west marsh]

Eh harder than 2’s and 5’s but not too rare. But I also seem to get them fairly often. Not sure of the exact drop rate

[twilit sapphire]

it's weird

10km do be somewhat rare

but you can be unlucky lucky to get only 10km eggs

[west marsh]

That’s true ^

[gilded rune]

pog.

[tropic reef]

lmao

[tight pilot]

Gold badged, owned (pokemon in / your colour) gyms have higher drop rate for 10km eggs irrc (if this is still s thing, not sure with the whole upgrading stops/gyms system)

[wraith flame]

still freaking out

[wraith flame]

I wnet silver. Mostly because of delibird, houndour, miltank shiny, and pineco shiny looks autumn-like

umm larvitar looks good as well

I hope I don't catch a sudowoode that is shiny

and skaromy looks rusted

silver shinies are basically hiding some kind of backstory

Ledyba - Dyed
Delibird - Dyed
Skaromy - Rusted
Phanpy - Dyed
Cleffa - Shiny
Sudowoodo - Autumn
Whoeverthatis - Idk
Pineco - Autumn
Houndour - Shiny
Miltank - Coloured
Larvitar - Cool
Lugia - Awesome

[tropic reef]

The idk is yanma

[wraith flame]

Yanma - Cool Colouring

still freaking out

abt the timed research

[flint wind]

shame.
🏃‍♂️

[wraith flame]

oh umm sorry....but I think regular one is better

[flint wind]

its fine
i personally am a big fan of the autumn tree

[tropic reef]

Honestly a shiny is a shiny imo

I dont care if i get a shiny i dont like its still shiny

[wraith flame]

cool

and I am still freaky....u know that I won't be able to do the timed research on time

[tight pilot]

Git gud & finish it on time then

[wraith flame]

I won't have time

[flint wind]

i actually saved up pokeballs for an event

[wraith flame]

not much anyways

[flint wind]

over 250 balls
(my bag space is only 700 )

[tight pilot]

Hmm sounds like a you problem & feebas you gotta increase that bag storage

[flint wind]

i have been

[wraith flame]

I probably will have like 3 hours and 30 minutes

[flint wind]

start of the month it was 550

[tight pilot]

Oh damn, holding off on raids and putting into storages? You’re mainly f2p right?

[flint wind]

yep except for ticketed events
only getting free remote raid passes

also increased storage in pokemon from 750 -> 900

[tight pilot]

Ahh yeah fair, some of the events just too good to pass up and the value is way better (especially than just buying coins 24/7 )

[wraith flame]

do u think 18 research quest levels will be possible in 3 hours and 30 mins?

[flint wind]

luckily a bit of a break since i can solo attack deoxys
shadow mewtwo with shadow ball puts in some work
just wish i could get it some xl candy

[tropic reef]

I got about the same with a 450 bag 😓

[wraith flame]

when was defense deoxys coming to raids again?

[tight pilot]

Yeah its do-able but would be hard, kanto tour last year had that many if not more but it can feel very overwhelming!

[flint wind]

yep with shiny chance

[tight pilot]

Tuesday

[wraith flame]

tomorrow?

[flint wind]

just use the power of quick catch

[wraith flame]

what is quick catch

[flint wind]

are you telling me youve been playing pogo without it?

[tight pilot]

Oh yes its monday LOL sorry holiday here for me so keep thinking its still Sunday

[wraith flame]

WHAT IS QUICK CATCH DUDE

[tight pilot]

Quick catch is the only way I know how to catch

[wraith flame]

the only way I catch is curve great

[flint wind]

look it up i cant explain it well
its so useful

[wraith flame]

for some reason I can never do anything other than curveball great

unless I specifically want to

like curve excellent

but I never fail to do a curveball great hit idk why

[flint wind]

even on raids?

[wraith flame]

eh?
https://screenrant.com/fast-catch-trick-guide-pokemon-go/

[tight pilot]

Take left thumb from below phone and tap and slide the ball option to the left (you can see it move) then take other thumb and throw curveball as normal then let go and tap top left, boom quick catch ez

[flint wind]

i use berry tab but yea

[tight pilot]

If im going fast yeah esp if the raid has time left on it bc you can just re-enter the encounter hehe

[flint wind]

o true

[tight pilot]

Dis also works*

[flint wind]

i mean i quick caught my shiny registeel cuz why not

[tight pilot]

Hahahah yeah shiny legends of course

[flint wind]

also i finally decided on choosing gold version for johto tour!

(the game told me to by hatching me a shiny larvitar )

[tight pilot]

Lil sour patch larvae hatch

Doesnt silver have your tree tho?

Or already got shiny tree

[flint wind]

i am sacrificing the beautiful tree for more shinies
i alr have lugia so it would be a waste

[tight pilot]

Honestly understandable & lugia been around more timez than ho-oh im pretty sure

Plus tree common in tasks n such, you’ll come across a shiny one eventually

[wraith flame]

I can trade u the tree...depending on where u live and if I catch 2 trees

[flint wind]

probably not around you tbh
florida life

[tight pilot]

You dont live near Feebas

Your EU based legible, correct?

[flint wind]

along with that i am glad that swinub will be a spawn
will the boosted candy thing be going on?

started building up an okay shadow mamoswine then got blessed with a 13 14 15
can only get up to lvl 35ish

[wraith flame]

what is the minimum amount of time it will take to complete the johto tour timed research

what are the chances a raid boss will be hundo?

[flint wind]

raid bosses have iv floors at 10 10 10 but they can be hundos

my only hundo from a raid is on my alt (sad groudon noises)

and technically a random machoke

[tight pilot]

Hundo from legendary raids is actually a lott more rare than just shiny from legendary raids, the odds are something like 1/300-400 ish

[wraith flame]

u can trade w/ ur alt right?
