really?
yep
that literally just ruined some of my plans
and the ipad ive used for alt trading for some reason doesnt update the game 
Lmao yeah and floors are 1/1/1 for great friend , 2/2/2 for ultra and 3/3/3 for bestfriend
I thought I could trade with my smaller brother's acount to get more candies for raid bosses, u know because we participate in the same one
i have 30 magikarp waiting in my pc
you can get lucky trades though
trade trash iv pokemon with good potential of being good for raids (such as machop, swinub, cranidos etc.)
Yeah and you can still trade to get more candies, just likely wont be good iv’s so just trade extra trash legends from over 100km away for 3 (4this season) candy extra
thats the hundo
we dont even know the tasks yet
And it really depends on your game play too like…. For some it could take little time and others a lot. There’s so many variables
Sami has hit the nail on the head. Spawn density, pokestop accessibility and to be blunt, luck, play a massive part of events like this.
It could take 20 minutes, it could take 8 hours. No-one can tell you how long it's going to take, because A, we don't know what tasks are on the research, and B, even if we did, your gameplay situation will be almost unique to you given where you are, how efficiently you can catch etc.
1/6^3, so 1/216 odds, roughly.
About 10 times more rare than a shiny legendary. Same thing for eggs and research tasks.
Hundo from lucky is 1 in 64, as that's 4^3.
Still rare.
I just reached level 40 yesterday
1/216 
Trust uzbek ^ my rote dumbass cant remember odds

oh pog congrats
Ty 
took me 6 months 
My first xl was a raupy xl 
I got it from releasing a caterpie

people are going fast to leveling up to 40
meanwhile my lazy ass can't get above 41
i cant get above 33 
it's the eevee quest isn't it
I got to level 40 and then just stopped caring about xp
no, it's the evolve with item ones 
even worse 
i finished that during december community day and speedran 42 and 43 so now i'm stuck at the purify 100 shadows for 44 
i have more than 30 evo items and i don't really want to spend time
in the evo cutscene
how fast
anyone ready for the johto tour event 
Honestly cant wait for it
me tooo aaaa it’s been too long
same but mostly for the irl kanto tour
Im still jealous about that
I would absolutely love those cups. dang it!
Samee

i only have those 2 from past seven eleven events
the one on the right was a 3 color variants. one of each team, of course took the color of my team 
the left one was hard to find
and these ones, i've never found them 
the other side
Is this in all 7Elevens or jsut yours?!
just here
seven eleven mx made the 🤝 with niantic here so
we get seven eleven events a lot
the johto cups aren't available yet, but soon, hopefully
So jealous

Defense deoxys is on Tuesday right
correct
defense deoxys is today
is there a niantic suggestion site? I wanna suggest that from next year they can keep the tour in march so they don't collide w/ my exams
Lol… I don’t think they will move the month it’s been because of exams…. I’m sorry.
???
but the johto tour is literally 3 days before my finals
and every year I keep on getting in a higher grade, meaning I will have less time for doing the tour
Yeah… like I said. They aren’t going to change it for one person of the millions that play.
It’ll probably remain in February like it’s been.
well...what if many people have exams during feb?
Still probably wouldn’t tbh.
but then you tell how will I complete the tour along with study for my exams that is literally impossible
but it is a necessity to do both (okay it isn't but...)
There’s plenty of time…
do u think I will even be allowed to play 12 hours straight when my finals are coming up?
Didn’t say straight.
Just saying as a whole the event is very long.
It’s not like community days where it’s half as long.
do u think I will be allowed to play 1:30 hour straight at 3:30 hours interval with my finals coming up?
ironically the time in between if we consider are starting time is 9:00 AM, then most of the time in-between will be spent on lunch and dinner, not preparation
Events are bonus play. You don’t have to participate at all.
I wanna do Johto Tour coz it is part of season of heritage. now if hoenn tour has Omega Shadow Groudon and Alpha Shadow Kyogre as a continuity of a season ofc I would wanna participate
I get that but tbh. Studies > Games anyday.
(also that depends for how long I was doing the season coz heritage was the only season I had done everything in since the start)
yes but sometimes I feel they aren't evenly balanced
just out of curiosity what grade are you in
why does everyone in discord have to ask that
To me you just sound a lot younger than me. I could be wrong. But I’ve also been a bit curious myself.
someone asked me that exactly 10 minutes ago in another discord server
Funny how that can happen lol
studies for me didn't get that difficult until around 11th grade
are u colabbing with them to eventually get my grade
probably not
… no we aren’t lol
not for at least 10 years
by then I would have a job or something
Haha it’ll definitely be probably…. 6-7 years.
They do a tour a year it seems lately. We are only on Gen 2.
That’s like… Gen “9”. If it even counts cause I don’t think it does.
can't they do a tour in July/August if they even have to do a tour a year because at that time everyone is on summer break
and the best part is so am I
They do go fest
in July or August?
Yes
umm...that was a multiple choice question
no, not everyone is on break lmao
most of the people are pretty sure
for one, it's not even summer for me in july so no it's not summer break
is it winter in july?
for people in the southern hemisphere
for u
She lives in the hes
Not all corners of the earth have the same season
Yes* lol. South hemisphere
only aussies are like that 
yes so I asked is it winter
It’s the opposite there as it is for us here in the NH
Didn’t you learn that in school?
isn't it always winter for you guys up there
where both summer break is for in the northern hemisphere and winter break is for in the southern hemisphere
More in Canada
I did
you don't seem to understand that things work very differently for different people
Lol I love in Pennsylvania. It gets cold and hot thankfully we see each season 😂
our lives are not like yours 
Oh ya they’re super understanding and actually plan all their events around you specifically! Also, @radiant vigil actually works for them, shoot her a message and she can definitely get it switched for your exams next year 
i work full time so i'm lucky to have more than two weeks off a time for the entire year lmao
Full time for Niantic ^
full time 
i'll give you a shiny mew mitch, i like you
if summer and winter are during the same months for the different halves of the world, then they can probably have a summer/winter break at the same time
play pogo more then i'll believe you
there is no way @radiant vigil works at niantic
You the best, thanks gilli 
MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor has given 1 'General Rep' to milliaswan.

yes way 

All the ways
if seal is the ceo of pokemon, surely i can work at niantic, why not? 
well then prove it
perfect logic

flex your shundo giratina that's plenty of proof 
does shundo articuno work for ya? 
because seal made the server so I believe it
sure why not
if u do work at niantic do u have an official Pokemon GO discord server?
only niantic employees get 2 shundo legendaries 
niantic doesn't actually care about proper communication channels
that is some solid evidence tbh
so no, no official discord, you gotta follow us on twitter
This ^
because we like to drop random useful messages on a platform most players don't check
twitter and occasionally in game news
Maybe check myspace?
ok imma search the pogo twitter and see whether ur messages exist there

Check under gilli
Because social media accounts are run by one person yes

Gilligan Lotad the 3rd (she from royal family)
That is my whole reaction to reading this
Gilligan 

gilberta sounds better tbh
valid mate, very valid 
What's a holiday? 
Can I get a summer break holiday from my work .. is that how this works
I only know "at work days" and "working at home days".
Also, yes, my father's brother's milkman's shirt's mother's ghost knows a gerbil that lives in Niantic HQ, and can 100% confirm that Milli works for them.
In all seriousness, the only way Niantic will ever change the dates of an event is if there's a natural disaster, at which point, yeah, I think people have a bit more to think about than PoGo.
or pandemic 
will the johto tour require u to battle a gym?
Again, we don't know.
On the balance of probability, (and the fact it would piss some off) the basic research probably won't, but they could introduce a task to make three catches whilst having your phone upside down, and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
facts
i get worked to the bone

The Masterwork Research probably will, as it's a natural time extender.
It's nearly 6am, what even is sleep at this point.
gotta work hard to get johto change updates deployed without breaking the game, no guarantees though
If you get it to run perfectly, you're doing it wrong. XD
we don't do any sort of user testing before we press the button to live game version
Part of the fun is in waiting for the "What will Niantic break now?" show.
you don't want to see the code repository
this season of gbl was a perfect example
what are GO Tour Challengers?
The amount of hardcoding is absolutely disgusting, I'm sure.
Basically themed rocket grunts. There'll be a timed research to beat a number (we don't know how many. probably 8) up.
yeah, the grad developers forgot to swap out the mock variables for the actual hard coding 
there should be a post on twitter somewhere about the line ups


the challengers are usually just fancy people wearing fancy shop clothing lol
Yo Milli, can't wait till winter break
on twitter only btw because niantic hates putting info in the in game news 
it's too much effort
Imagine having a break in the middle of the year 
ikr, what is that
essentially the fashion challengers back in october that were just a waste of time and space smh
Wanna break? Get a Kit Kat
Yes pls




Did someone want me to change dates of an event? I can do it for tree fiddy

Milli works for Niantic, trust me I should know
Faithful employee since yesterday, been promoted 3 times for being so shit at her job it’s the kind of incentive we need at my shit company, I appreciate that dedication.
Thank you for the feedback, unfortunately me and my company are more concerned with spending all that green that you and every other player has graciously given us than meeting your needs and/or making our customers happy, so for a small fee of $159.99 USD we can give you this small little gift basket, has a pop up book. Oh and your soul belongs to us now. - John Hanke CEO of Niantic Inc.
MetalJesus |WetNoodle| has given 1 'General Rep' to LegibleSleet827.
aye just let me know what i need to work on next sir
I propose we release kecleon, but only available in the North Sentinel Islands, it’s brilliant.

This gives players a chance to enjoy the new rich environment and get along with the Sentinelese people who seem very friendly and accepting.
wait I don't understand what is the small fee for (and how can 160 dollars be considered small)
(especially because where I live the currency is 4 times of dollars.....so basically the "small" fee will turn out to be 640 here)
wait can't u pre-pone the tour by one week from next year on? I don't think one week really matters to most players, plus 19th february will never ever be 3 days before my finals no matter what happens (hopes something doesn't happen)
is there any other good IV for Defense Deoxys other than defense? (basically HP or Attack)
generally lower atk is better for pvp in general, pvpoke would have the specifics
what are good counters for M. Ampharos no matter how many ground type pokemon I scan with PokeGenie I NEVER have 20% dmg contribution
it's just tanky because mega raids aren't meant to be soloed, you need to do it in a group
oh i have 44.8% with a team of dragons it seems
I know, but there are many groups for Mega Ampharos
and when I try there is only Info and Top Counters
no Join Raid or Join Queue or whtever
probably because you need to hit that 20%
ground and dragon types
I have Abomasnow, Aerodactyl, Rhydon and all
rhyperior at the minimum
yeah that's kinda important
why...
my salamence is useless if it has the wrong moves
even if you have a dragon type, if it has dark type moves against ampharos it's not going to do much

on the basis of M. Ampharos btw
yuo can manually input the moves in pokegenie
Poke genie is actually against TOS, I’ll crack down on the law if I have to.

why is it against TOS
I've been trying to get myself fired for years
Milli……YOU GET A PROMOTION, keep doing your absolute worst

I'm sorry what?
That’s what I like in my workers, fire crackers.
u just said pokegenie is against the TOS
I don't even understand why is it against TOS
multi accounting is against TOS but most people do it anyway
oh no 
i know mr hanke has at least 2 accounts himself

what does PokeGenie have to do with multi accounting
both level 49 too 
maybe 
I don't even know what multi-accounting is
I just use PokeGenie to see IVs in % and to join raids (remotely)
it just means having an alt
ie more than one account
u can make alts?
i have 2 phones, one for each
it is against TOS but niantic probs makes a lot of money from people buying things on both accounts so they leave it
No, you can’t.
tl;dr don't worry about using poke genie
niantic don't actually ban anyone no matter what they do
tl;dr listen to mr hanke 
well brandon tan did get banned a while back
but that was for account sharing iirc
people were paying him money for him to raid on their behalf 
that money ain't going to niantic so 
Ah Brandon, my favourite little puppet….er player
but the fun police always puts it to a stop
I’ll have you know, I’m loads of fun.
wait a sec, is it considered an ALT if I...
yes
forgot my login account as I didn't play for 1 year and got a new phone
made a new account
remembered my old credentials and logged in with that
forgot to delete the new account
Nup, delete both now.
why....
I can delete the new account I only have a charmander
I can't delete the other one I got a johto tour ticket, if I do delete u gotta issue me a refund
dw about the charmander, it does no harm
you gonna delete my 3 accounts? 
one is higher level than yours boss 
unless I catch another mon, trade charmander with my main, get more charmander candies and evolve my charmeleon in the main account
why would I do that tho
Dang, already spent the money on a bag of zooper doopers, will have to send an IOU in the mail, please contact my assistant Milli for the details of this transaction.
wait what no I don't want refund
i won't delete my account
mr hanke is coming exclusively for mmsarom and milliaswan while leaving kombuchie alone 
final
Milli wtf
Alright, don’t do it again 
mmsarom isn't mine...it's the bfs...i just borrow it...liberally
I’m always watching.
Why do I only have 2 on friends
dude I can delete the "alt"
if I remember the "alt"'s login credentials...
oh the 3rd one i barely use, it's my i'm really desperate for a shiny alt

it says last caught was reshiram
ye by now u probably realized I don't remember login credentials all that well
thanks uzbek
you checked for me
You’re only a higher level because mum grounded me I COULDN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE
i think you might have grounded yourself mr hanke 
say that to my L50 account
Now now, I did no such thing. I’m the CEO.
anyways....can u prepone the johto tour by one week from now on? (basically 19th february) as then I won't have a 3-day pressure to study for my finals
Prepone 
just ONE WEEK
prepone 
well...there is an option to postpone it by 3 weeks if u wanna go that route...
today is the 22nd february
yes so?
you want the event held on the 19th?
not this year
They're not gonna change events in pogo just because you want it that way
I am saying from 2023 onwards


if you try enough you can force change 
define "enough"
Write a strongly worded letter
mr hanke, i want a pogo event for my birthday because i am a good employee ty
lotads only, boosted shiny rates
Are you suggesting that he kidnaps me Uz?
the ultimate reason why milli keeps hosting so many raids in this server, niantic worker sucking our money for those remote raid passes

Imagine changing events every time a Nancy whinges
i delegate the raid hosting to mitch
that could be a viable option
Just not the way the world works
mitch is a wannabe niantic worker
(JK mitch I LUV U)
i'm helping him with his dreams so i can retire after i get 5 more promotions
on my side of the world many people (including pogo players) have exam sometime aroud february end, so they won't do the tours. and if they don't do the tours niantic doesn't get money..so just preponing by 1 week allows both players and niantic to enjoy
Thank you for expressing your concerns about the events timeline with me and my employee Milli “lotad” Mills, unfortunately pleasing one player will not satisfy another, as this we can not just move around event dates and times to anyones liking except for maybe MellowMitch, that player is a hoot.
Ok cool, what about the other side of the world
hmmmm u shud check the profit they earned from the go fest last year and u will know they be making big bucks all the time
mcmellowmitch 

I literally said on my side of the world
Uz that’s strike 3
more like big bucks or bigger bucks 
but my side and kit's side is the cool side tho
Keep testing me buddy
idk abt their education
They're not going to cater to you and the 🤏 amount of people on the same schedule as you, sir

exams
they are three days after the johto tour
hey good break time while u study for exams! got the fun got the knowledge, winner life 
Imagine the people that have to work full time jobs and miss out
ye u might not know finals aren't easy

i've graduated from uni with honours, i know exams 
you'll be fine if you mess some up lol
no I won't (not this year at least)
i'd have lost my scholarship if i went below credit on any subject 
so i played pogo inside on campus yo
Sir, hundreds of thousands miss events due to work, responsibilities, school, even their own kids but one should prioritise what is actually important in life, especially when it comes to a mobile game…..
but all work and no play makes legiblesleet827 a dull boy
Now give me all your money, there is deoxys raids to be had
defense deoxys 
no way dude

you'll never take my money
dang wrong reply
ouch 😦
I don’t want your money, it disgusts me anyway.
no it doesnt
oh really then refund my johto ticket and just gimme the master work research
like any potential crushes/girlfriends, it doesn't exist
no one asked u to buy it though.......
I’ll refund you this grape, I don’t really have much else but a paper clip, some hair that honestly I have no clue where it came from and this bubble yum wrapper
I'll take the bubble yum wrapper
is the grape a golden razz berry?
no is a nanab berry
The grape is just a regular razz, throw it at your dog to make it easier to catch.
what do you get?

I don't have a dawg
Dang I’m at the wrong house then.
wait u are standing oustide my house door atm?
No no no
good
What wood is this door made out of? It’s got a really nice scent to it.
k wait, let's strike a deal
You tell the estimated time it will take to complete the johto tour research (and whether future tours will have similar tasks)
And I won't ask u to post/prepone the tour, got it?
why would I know what wood the door is made out of
I'm not even asking what the tasks are just how long they take
(also on the basis that I have access to 2 pokestops just by sitting at home)
just ring the bell and I will see whether it rings rn or not
actually mr. hanke can be kinda sus as PoGo does track ur location
That’s a trick question, as the research will take as long as the player wishes to progress through it whether they are willing to enjoy it or go hardcore. Future events will be harder tasks, for half of the rewards that are usually given as Pokémon go tradition goes.
Santa tracks your location too but y’all love that fat bastard.
future events or tours?
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHIGNG ABOUT MY FRIEND CODE
YOU CAN'T TRACK MY ACCOUNT
and my friend code is in #pogo_friend_codes
I do?
dang stupid internet re-ordered my msgs
no he doesn't, he doesn't exist
what the hell was this chat a while ago
Something Santa and the love your parents have for you have in common. KA POW
that’s harsh I’m sorry bud.
ok so assuming I play for 2-3 hours will I be able to complete the research quests (considering I only have access to 2 pokestops, 0 gyms, and remote raids). Just give me a probability
I'd like for you to have considered before even getting the ticket, your availability and stuff about that
There will probably be a couple task about trading with the other version
I already considered availabity
WHAT???????????????????????
that is totes unfair
Technically you have almost 18+hours if you just fly to new zealand when it starts and travel along the timezones as it goes 🙂
very easy
what if I change the phone time
and make it so it is always idk 3 PM of 26th February till I complete the timed research
It’s totally fair, I’ve designed this game so that you would socialise, not to be a shut in, my right hand man Milli (who is in fact, a lotad) came up with this brilliant idea.
is that really gonna happen?
well, what about the people who don't have friends that have Pokemon GO/Didn't wanna buy the ticket
sucks to be them
Wes, my other right hand man has given the verdict.
I have two right hands, it’s a disease.
seriously tho this has to be changed
can I use an alt for trading?
you need another device
or if you have a Samsung then download pogo on galaxy store and play store
I have another device
ok
do u think I can jump up to level 10 in less than a week?
catch pokemon
and isn't it against the TOS?
also niantic hasn't banned anyone for it...
why are u recommending me to do it
I WILL KILL MY INTERNET FOR RE-ORDERING MY STUPID MESSAGES
because it's easier
well...I don't need the tour ticket on both devices tho right? seeing kanto tour timed research, all we had to do is trade three pokemon with friends that is it.
I don't think you need ticket on both accts
ye that might work considering I can curveball, and most mons will be new registeries (actually all mons except charmander)
anyway I need to put my phone away, have fun
no wait I wanted to continue the discussion
I'm at school
dang
anyways if I level up to level 10 and then ONLY use the alt for trading purposes FOR THE TIMED RESEARCH, not to try to re-pool the IVs of my mon or anything, will I get banned?
Bruh can you be mindful with the pinging
Some of us are trying to sleep
This was last time Tour collection challenges
And the locked incense ones
Even with an alt, you 're not getting some of the spawns needed for the collection since it doesnt have a ticket and they're locked to ticket holder incense
Now please dont ping reply like crazy, its 4 am for me
Before sleeping again,
the name
but the collection challenge doesn't count in the research...
(I didn't ping 🆒 )
It hasn't depended in prior occasions for the research.
Probably won't, but it's not worth speculating at the minute.
The masterwork research will probably require plat Johto medal.
Masterwork for Kanto Tour just required for you to buy the ticket and you didn’t even need to complete the Tour research in the event period to unlock it
well I asked in the official discord server for the r/PokemonGO subreddit and cleared it out myself
one sec lemme post here
This was the exact message I sent to ask there, just read the applicable parts:
I bought ticket
I chose Silver
I will choose cyndaquil (obviously)
I will get a SPECIAL research (meaning I can complete it even in 10 years)
On completion I can get the masterwork research (which I can also complete it in 10 extra years it is my wish) and also shiny gyarados (and celebi but idc)
Completing masterwork = Apex Shadows
the response was "Yea, correct, unless niantic wants to drop a surprise bomb on you"
do you have to trade stuff from other other with the other version to get the apex lugia and ho-oh?
if so ima cry 
No you get both Apex Shadow Legends. Just like in the original Gold/Silver/Crystal you could get both. Which that tradition for Johto also continued in HGSS
Trading was a requirement in the Kanto Tour for one piece of the main research and it just had to be with anyone.

I mean, there could be a task in the maskterwork research like "complete 200 trades" or "complete 30 special trades"
But as for lugia and ho-oh as you been told you will get both,
they will probably do it like the og games, if you picked gold for example you will get ho oh in the middle and lugia at the end
that is so dang bad
but probably not

and ye I confirmed that the research tasks to get masterwork is SPECIAL NOT TIMED, so you can probably unlock masterwork 10 years from now
that depends on how long u take to complete the special research tho
10 years 
no no the special research doesn't take 10 years to complete
probably will take me 10 years 
it is that even if u stretch it to 10 years u still get it
Bruh you already said it does

I said it can take as long u don't need to worry about completing it in the 12 hous timing for the tour
the only good thing that comes from completing during the tour is that the GUARANTEED celebi that is a research award will know magical leaf
and the other guaranteed stuff is shiny gyarados, masterwork research and rocket radar I think
I can’t wait for the shiny gyarados 
me neither, tho I regret farming loads of magikarp during lunar new year
I also have a shiny magikarp, precisely the reason why I was farming magikarp during lunar new ear
and now this just makes everything a waste of pokeballs
the ones I used to catch magikarp
I just realized, u get a free Up-Grade, so my porygon will now evolve
Wow that totally is a revelation and not how the last Masterwork was released
Its not in the daily box tho..
a few weeks ago
it was probably one of the glitched ones
maybe
probably because the apex shadow master work is required for heritage
not "required" but a part of heritage
I was being sarcastic, which it seems you don’t really have much awareness for when people are being sarcastic to you. That’s exactly how you unlocked the Masterwork for Kanto Tour, the research wasn’t timed and you could get masterwork at any time even after the tour was over
You just needed to buy the ticket
Well..... 
Are all the special researches like that or just the Masterwork?
What do you exactly mean?
Are any of the researches timed? I only started like a month ago so I'm not really familiar with tours
Special research can be completed at any time, this johto tour masterwork is the second one that you unlock after completing the main special research that comes with the ticket
So none of it disappears after the tour is over?
All research on the right menu side is not timed. If there’s a timed research going on it will be on the menu side that appears when you slide left
Timed research page
Regular research page
There will be timed capture challenges for the Johto Tour, they will disappear once the tour’s over but the main research you get with the ticket will be on the “Special” menu and can be completed at any time after the tour and once you complete it then you unlock the Masterwork research
Ahhhh okay, thank you
Meteor mash on metagross is a good one too

Imma wait on a beldum comm day redo or until i get enough candy to double move for meteor mash
Earthquake is really helping alot rn
They've done plenty of non comm days Meteor Mash events
this last year
i actually forgot that this past valentine's event had Ralts line CommDay move 
Yea
Yeah waiting works too, just depends on how impatient you are
Mewtwo is still top pick if it comes back though, it's one of the pve worth dual moves
K
so.....I was lied to...all along?
I feel heartbroken....
Not exactly but yes bamboozled.
As long a research is not in the timed part, is all gucci
i haven't even got past the first part of the shiny Mew one 
and it's been almost a year
yay I don't have enough damage contribution to defense deoxys
defense deoxys is annoying, just because it's tanky 
you'll do way better in speed Deoxys
yes but I need defense only
f
Had a pretty good team for Deoxys D, almost everyone had darkrai/tyranitar and I was runnning mega houndoom
Free boost for all 
I am nearly close tho, but I can't moveset scan aerodactyl as it is sitting in a gym that no one cares to defeat now for some reason
i’m going to have to run mega gary because i’m out of houndoom energy
my damage is going to go way down
you don't have crunchy bois tyranitars for it?
legit 1 week ago it was the top targeted gym locally, and now it is a pile of junk
is gary gengar?
Gyarados
gyarados
o gotcha
my team is really meh against defense deoxys
lvl 40 shadow ball mewtwo comes in clutch
then 43 mega gyara (im also out of houndoom energy)
then darkrai at like level 30 then shadow honchie hoopa unbound and smack down crunch ttar
it can solo atk deoxys but still not the best
😮 sounds pretty good compared to mine lol
how do u change hoopa form?
When you put atk and dwfense forme back to back 
Going from 100% contribution to like 26 lol
theres a button that says change form 
is it later in the season of mischievious research?
that requires candies right....?
yeah im at 27% damage
My reccomended team includes my shadow mamoswine since I only have 5 goodish dark types lmao
yep 50 i think
I have 6
normally my non matching reccomendeds are shadow mewtwo hundo shadow machamp and lvl40 mega charizard y
i do 29%
damnn jealous Ive been searching for a good shadow machamp but I got jack
Didnt think to scan my megas since i dont have them half the time so didnt wanna skew my genie thing lol
will confined hoopa do well against defense deoxys?
Team barely gets over the cap at 22.2% with a 1800 shadow weavile lmao
let’s duo 

both hoopa forms are top attackers against deoxys
I think I can mega gengar never used it before tho
when will Defense Deoxys leave raids? on johto tour?
even confined?
Feb 26 I think yeah
Oh really?
I ignored my hoopa
that’s what i said
great! what moveset?
confusion/shadow ball I think right?
astonish
Definitely not confusion
resisted damage is not fun
what
Ah my hoopa has Max atk
astonish/shadow ball?
no single person can do that much to deo-d
yeah
Unbound is better right?
yup
Before I spend 10k dust 
yeah has higher attack than mewtwo right
I don't need to unbound if I don't have the candies right?
Anyone know the atk break points lol
the what now
yeah it’s fine as is
i just use high iv bois
just power it up
The break point where at a specific level the damage increases significantly
thats a thing 👀
So usually you don't need to Max something because it technically hits Max damage before
I have 6 candies...will that work?
whats dialgas breakpoint
huh. more you know
Is the breakpoint the nearest whoel number milli?
oh yeah i forgot that you’re a stardust hoarder 
Something like that, it's why it jumps up sometimes cos it rounds up or something
i have 1000 stardust
spending it on a really nice shadow swine rn
Ahh gotcha, should look more into it
sitting at 10k dust cuase im dumb
Well I guess getting it to L30-35 doesn't hurt
oh i barely use shadows in pve or pvp
Yeah no shadows for me for above reasons
i went ocd a few months ago and categorized my top 6 attackers for each type so i know what to power up or evolve
But also cos I already have so much powered up already
too much dust and the extra attack isn’t worth it unless your going to duo something absurd like regirock or regice
imagine having decent shadow mons
i got a 0 15 15 shadow squirtle recently but not rank 1
same with my shadow politoed
too bad it’s not that great in open gl
Yeah the trade off it is dies faster, I think overall it's not going to make a significant difference in pve at least
my only recent rank 1 is swalot 
it might be useful for hoenn cup 
You’re too late if you’re asking that question. Hoopa Unbound only could be accessed from a bonus research that could only be given if you completed the mischievous research before the season of mischief ended. Or you paid about $5 for a ticket if you didn’t
That ticket of course had a time limit for when you could buy it, so you’ll be stuck with Hoopa Confined
Never have I seen such BS in Great League battles, I got a 7 loss streak and should have won 5 of them, Me and my Pokemon are furious.
i think i missed the unbound one
because i forgor
didnt unbound cost money

Was it due to go battle lag?
Most of it, yes.

all my homies hate go battle lag
Mhm
Angeyrey
As someone with 7269 battles done, i can absolutely confirm 
battle lag is bad
but sometimes its fine for me
it works like normal but just does all the damage at the same time
For me, it can prevent charged attacks from going off and can skip 20 seconds of a battle especially at the beginning.
😬 yeah thats bad
is there any way pokegenie forgets about this stupid damage contribution and just lemme join the raid?
Not for defense deoxys
That thing is too dummie thicc to let folks roll in contributing minimal damage for parties of 6

do better 
will hoopa confined with astonish/shadow ball make me reach from 12% -> 20%?
I caught it from Misunderstood Mischief and used a pinap berry
so I got 6 candies
so the max I can power it up to is how much ever I can power it up to w/ 6 candies
no
i wouldn't worry about hitting 25% right now
i'd just join one of @tight pilot's raids when he hosts 
okay imagine I have a team that gives me 12% contrib, and I add hoopa (astonish/shadow ball) and umbreon (snarl/foul play) what percent do u think I will reach?
bruh
in what timezone does mellowmitch live in?
gmt -5
ye but they don't suit me 😦
they never did and they never do
i've seen some raiding around these hours from aussies so maybe you can join on the ocassional
our local niantic employee you mean


I’ve never hosted a raid in my entire life what do you mean

lol
Im a noob, only level 15 on pogo

You can host a genie raid without the damage contribution limit
That's why they cap 20% so technically the 5 joiners could do it
aaaa
or you can just deal enough damage 
tell that to my shinies from peterborough 
lol
amogus

east coast best coast
last resort umbreon is interesting
You will not be required to adventure with Eevee as your buddy ahead of time during the event

lmao

road map?
it is a map of the road
road road road
Ms. Gilligan out here breaking the notifications now
Sounds like a promotion is in store
indeed 
knowing @charred rapids i'm probably due for another promotion 



Would anyone like to rate this metagross's name?
A friend called his Fugaku, which I still think is the best Metagross name. Pretty cute though!
use PokeGenie name gen -_-
I do think nicknames add to the PoGo experience
I wouldn't be half as attached to PoGo buddy Garchomp without the name and backstory behind it.
I released my original starter at some point, so Garth is the oldest Poke I have, and I've developed a fondness for the boy, ETMing and maxing him even when I own better IV'd Garchomps. (He's a 13/15/13, so still massively decent.)
ded place


ehehe tiny gym
I was about to ask where this is but then I realized I’m an idiot
your mom
nah 
Literally no need to make that kind of comment
Just in case, Monterrey, México
literally no need for you to make this time of comment

Also 
this is what I chose for the tour it actually shows ho-oh
I didn’t realize you could already choose 
I’m glad I checked the ticket again
Literally no need for you to this comment of a comment
Of a comment of a comment 
of a comment of a comment
what does that mean.....?
oo nice I called it
Hope we will get volcarona before they start dropping gen 7, my legs are ready for 400 candies Larvesta
Yay I could finally work to getting Incineroar and other Gen 7 Pokémon I like. With how many ultra beasts and legendaries there are for the region they will have their hands full for raids for awhile after they eventually release Gen 7
Oh wait now that I’m thinking of it, PoGo’s supposed to have an announcement tomorrow before Pokémon Day, maybe they’ll announce Gen 7’s release day for the game. Might not even be that since the announcement could be something small to
Gen 7? More like kekleon
gen 7 more like something about johto tour most likely
I mean they did say about a few months ago they’re working on implementing Kecleon into the game. Because of what Kecleon’s ability is in the normal games, that’s what they said is a bit more complex for them to figure out how they can translate that into PoGo
Since it’s ability is also Kecleon’s gimmick
Is the team rocket boss available now? Or do I have to wait for an event?
you need to wait for gio to be back in an event
if you have the super rocket radar you can fight giovanni
whut
if you have the radar you can beat him
Great League is fun until around rank 15 where every team becomes some combination of Stunfisk, Whiscash, Registeel, Alolan Ninetails and Azumarill.
I wish I could reset my rank. 
RIP
Okay yeah I have the super rocket radar. So should be able to find him then. Thanks!
epic goodluck
You’re missing medicham, scrafty, lickitung, bastiodon, and walrein too

what about swampert talonflame umbreon trevenant or sableye
i don't even bother with pvp
i've also found that some people don't shield their medi from a talonflame's brave bird in a 1 shield scenario
it's very funny when they get okhoed
I played four matches in a row yesterday with a lead Stunfisk. Thought I was getting matched up with the same person at one point. I understand meta gaming and there is nothing wrong with it when prizes are on the line, I just miss the randomness and surprises in the beginning ranks and getting a chance to use non-meta mons and still have a chance.
Things should be much more casual next season since elo will not be a factor anymore plus different cups
I think pick one, ban one type mechanics in PVP could be fun to experiment with.
Tf was that
They’re gone
Idk


Pokémon go has its faults. But damn
Lol

Looks like I missed something with the amount of mods here 
My fav is playing machamp v talonflame in Ultra
You both commit both shields but you can come away with a slice of health that can get ya a cross chop. Usually leaves their Wally in the yellow
just wondering, what legendaries is worth raiding? i can only use the free passes, so I'm wondering which mons I should raid multiple times
id say whichever version you picked
for ml pvp you want lugia though
suicune and entei are the weakest, raikou (especially shadow) is good. unless you want to grind candy, ho-oh isnt the best (you want apex shadow)
Ho Oh does have a good place in ML too
Hey y’all, if I were to buy the Johto ticket now, what premium content would I get access to, and how long would the access last for? Trying to decide whether it’s worth it since I know I missed out on some stuff already, so thanks in advance for your advice!
you’d get nothing extra just the ticket holder bonuses tomorrow
So the higher shiny chances, special incense Pokémon, and item/cosmetic rewards, right? From what I know the researches had to be started earlier
yeah
Got it, thanks!
YourUSSenator has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.
that looks so cool
Im not a pvp person so im just seeing the pics of the people that went 
I think is still going or almost over
but thats a lot of peeps
of course it’s walrein 
lol
Ok, I want to go there.
Johto Tour Collection challenges
Jesus evolve 40 mons in a day?
I suppose, I dnt have many jhoto mons to begin with to pre-evo just not used to it I suppose
With increased candy rates.
Oh is it double candy?
ohh gotcha, I see 😄
Got the hundo 27th raid, i did 41 and no shiny, a hundo is rarer than a shiny too
Johto Tour starts now for me, didn’t buy it but I can still enjoy the raids and possibly can get a shiny Smeargle from pictures
you dont need to censor yourself on here, its fine
lol all the gyms
Got a shiny suicune from take a snapshot of wild suicune quest. A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one
got a shiny raiku from the snapshot reward sadly forgot to nab a snapshot for entei when I used a raid pass
ok another raikou now if it only gave me entei for snapshot
how do I fight the flying gym leader
i think random pokestop npc
ok
Anyone looking to trade for the exclusives? I chose Silver
I got gold also I need a cyndaquil cause I accidently converted my spare into candy and only quilava left
Oh perfect i also got what you need ok let me finish this raid im in and we'll do it
take as long as you need I have to make sure I have extras anyway
Aight
You guys realize you cant trade if you arent close right?
i thought they buffed it again for the event or did they revert that?
Oh dang it probably
You wanna try trading im ready
I only have 3 of the 4 atm is that fine?
Not for the event
yeah sure
yep out of range rip
aww bummer oh well
How do i find these triners i need to fight i havent seen?
Randomly at pokestops
Legit just found one i been goong by stops for like 2 hours and only just found one 😂
Do you still only get 1 smeargle encounter?
Nah
How do I get more
You get more than 1 for sure , i didn't count how many I got but it was over 3
Do I just need to wait? I’ve tried swapping buddies
I got 4 on alt and 1 on main
that was enough for me
REDEMPTION
How many special trades can we do during the event?
Eyyy. grattos!
Thanks
リコ has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.
yea they flee
but u can get suicune from the screenshot
I got a shiny Entei in the wild 👀
I was sacred it will flee but apparently their shinies are 100% catch in the wild as well
anyone else not seeing the npc trainers during johto tour?
You will see them when you will progress in the timed research
so i have the flying trainer and after 45 mins of constant pokestops not 1 npc trainer. am i doing something wrong?
Trainers will only appear for the gym battle you're on.
Make sure you've completed the level of research in the Today Tab.
right im still on flying. shouldnt a flying trainer appear at a pokestop right?
ive passed like 50 pokestops and no flying trainer lol 😦
ok ill zoom out and see if that works
Look for pokestops in the distance that have a shaking cube, but no discolouration.
Those are gym trainers.
how do i evolve for an umbreon and espeon
Choose Eevee as your buddy and depending on daytime it’ll evolve to Umbreon/Espeon
I suppose it’s time for a name change
welp met the legendary pokemon Raikou in the wild and fled life is sadge
Did you take a snapshot?
no...
Oh, well the reward for doing so is a Raikou encounter
