[dusty oracle]

Tbf

Dragon Pulse Altaria doesn't lose any team matchups that Moonblast wouldn't.

[tropic reef]

ok

i just need to find some swablus then we set

correction, a lot of swablus

to power up

[dusty oracle]

Buddy it as well, that'll make things go a bit quicker.

[tropic reef]

yeah

[covert idol]

is altaria worth mega? my 3* one only has a max cp of around 1.9-2k

[ivory halo]

I did some calculations,

This team of mine has an 85-90% win rate.

[tropic reef]

nice

[lucid frigate]

What rank

[tropic reef]

what are the odds for a latias to spawn in gbl

[ivory halo]

20

[twilit sapphire]

Line of chars

Me: pog wild char

Also me:

[tropic reef]

level oneeee

[oblique ridge]

319 pokeballs

[twilit sapphire]

I save them for my pokeball plus in commdays

https://tenor.com/view/oshawott-adorable-puppy-eyes-ugfh-gif-20060139

I see no difference

[twilit sapphire]

poyo

[near yarrow]

Oshawott my beloved

[faint ferry]

so annoying not being able to throw eggs away

[final tulip]

agreed

i want those 7kms but i have to hatch all my other eggs one by one

[tropic reef]

without being able to delete i missed out on the 1 km eggs with the riolu and stuff a few events ago

[stark narwhal]

Yes! I basically have only three egg slots because I’m not interested in hatching anymore 7k eggs

[faint ferry]

yeah, im currently waiting on 4 old 7km eggs to hatch so i can hopefully fill the slots up with the event eggs...

[twilit sapphire]

the pain when half my inv is 5km eggs

[faint ferry]

still 2.5km on 3 of them, idk if i can get that in 3> days

[charred rapids]

Oooof current 7km eggs with noibat, I haven’t been able to hatch any yet

[faint ferry]

prefer event 7km eggs to 2km or 5km at least...

[tight pilot]

I’m 5/5 on event eggs … for hatching Emolga

[faint ferry]

LOL

togepi i wouldnt mind... mantyke and emolga though

niantic make some wack ass decisions... 5km buddy distance on noibat is awful

[stark narwhal]

I’m plodding away with rare candies from raids for a 22 CP Noibat.

[faint ferry]

First event egg...

[fossil basin]

What?

[ashen oxide]

Fuck you niantic for only giving us 10 balls for legendary Megas I’ve done 7 tonight and 6 of them have ran away what a waste of money

[faint ferry]

?

[fossil basin]

Oh nevermind

[fading harbor]

Event egg????

[faint ferry]

Yes, 7km eggs currently have noibat (and some other junk)

Togepi, mantyke, noibat, and emolga

[stark narwhal]

At the ER but caught a shiny so cool.

[fossil basin]

I stilll need togepi from event egg so..

Missed out on spring event

[rustic nova]

What do y’all think are the odds of a Solosis community day happening some day

[charred rapids]

Damn he's huge

[fossil basin]

My milotic beeg too XD

[short drum]

Anybody in here have an ign of sunflora??

[white quartz]

what is that

[short drum]

In game name

[tropic reef]

I got big boi too

Is my favorite boi kekrom

[pulsar thunder]

You mean discord name?

[short drum]

Nah in pogo

[stark narwhal]

I’m not sure what this means. Wouldn’t Sunflora’s in game name be Sunflora?

[short drum]

Yeah as in I’m trying to find out if there’s someone on this forum that has an ign of sunflora…

[stark narwhal]

Oh you mean their trainer name ok

[short drum]

Yeah, they randomly invited me to a raid then this happened 😂

[tropic reef]

@dusty oracle what was a good moveset for altaria again?

Mine has dragon breath and dazzling gleam

[dusty oracle]

DragonBreath/SkyAttack/DragonPulse is the best without Moonblast.

[tropic reef]

Ok

[dusty oracle]

Arguably for the team I recommended, Dragon Pulse is better than Moonblast.

[tropic reef]

Which charge should i get first since i dont have any candy to double move yet

[dusty oracle]

Sky Attack

[tropic reef]

Ok

Its finally mine

Beautiful

[charred rapids]

Wowww congrats!

[charred rapids]

Btw, that Berlin pokemon day ticket, can you do Sky Shaymin quest and get shiny Monke even outside Berlin?

The only thing I noticed strictly tied to Berlin are the garden quests but I never got any of those tickets so idk.

[clever oasis]

Any body have oricorio styles other than Pom Pom

[twilit sapphire]

They regional so unless you go and travel or someone close to you trade you, aint no way of getting them

[torn arrow]

i have the red one but you can't trade long distances

[tropic reef]

I only have yeller

I might get a different one in india soon

[stark narwhal]

How do I host a raid?

Nvm

[charred rapids]

[stark narwhal]

It’s really tough. I have 200

Energy but I don’t feel like wasting like 12 revives and a bunch of max potions on it

[candid thicket]

Imagine doing raids

[stark narwhal]

I’ve only hosted two. Won the first and lost the second

[candid thicket]

Thats why i dont host raids

[stark narwhal]

I’m fine hosting because I don’t burn remote passes

[candid thicket]

True

[stark narwhal]

I mean I’ve only hosted two Mega Latios raids. Never seen Latias around

I’ve hosted a bunch of others.

[candid thicket]

I dont play pogo that much anymore

So im not around when events start

Although i get 2-3 notifications per day

[stark narwhal]

I usually take a break when it’s cold outside so around March or April I start going hard until about October

[candid thicket]

Yea something tells me im going to turn off notifs

[stark narwhal]

I mean this chat used to be way more active than it used to be anyway

[candid thicket]

Yea

[torn arrow]

but have you faced mega kangaskhan?

[ashen oxide]

Anyone know what the shiny rate is for mega latias? Is it normal legendary or mega raid rates?

I’ve done 25 now with no shiny and two hundos that ran

[near yarrow]

1/20 I believe

[ashen oxide]

Just unlucky then

Makes up for the back to back thundurus I guess

[glad bay]

How do you know they were hundos?

[rough tapir]

Damn

That’s my highest ever tbh since I’ve never gotten a hundo

[ashen oxide]

Latias is 2006 cp at 100% iv non weather boosted and 2507 cp weather boosted

[glad bay]

Ohh awesome, didn’t know that.

[tight pilot]

@fleet ivy is Sunflora

P.s sorry for random ping Sunflora

[fleet ivy]

no problem!

[fleet ivy]

omg congratz!!!

[wet jewel]

After 7 remote passes i finally got megaenergy for both of them... so many last minute bail outs or quitters, i even got 1 guy bringging the baby mons into the fight... and i want at least another latias, since the 2 of them i got are 2 stars.

7 passes, only 4 victories ☹️

[tight pilot]

Shoulda joined my raids, havent lost a single one hehe

[wet jewel]

You do them when im not arround. You always wait for that xD

[tight pilot]

I do indeed wait until I see you go offline

[wet jewel]

I can get another set of 3 passes, in case i catch you ofguard xD

[charred rapids]

I have a question Is a shadow tangela good

[tidal temple]

Got this yesterday btw

[charred rapids]

Shadow tangrowth isn’t bad in ultra league

But would need the right stats

Because I have a 98% one

[final tulip]

can be good as a grass type attacker in raids as a tangrowth

[charred rapids]

And I don’t know if it is good

Well a 98 is probably not UL worthy so yeah probably just raidin

Well crap

[final tulip]

that's what i would do with it since the best grass type attackers are just venu and zarude

and roserade

[tidal temple]

Unironically gonna double move this soon

[charred rapids]

Wait really?

[final tulip]

yes

the grass type raid meta is very shallow and shadow tangrowth does well

[tidal temple]

IVs btw

[charred rapids]

So is this good?

[final tulip]

yes

[west marsh]

I have a stupid question. If I purchase a Go Fest ticket for the in person events. And something comes up, would I still at least get the special research?

[tropic reef]

i think you would probably have to actually get into the game first but yeah

you can just leave right after

[tight pilot]

Yeah but you’d miss all the timed research unfortunately & the special research would just be for the myth (shaymin) which will likely * be given for free a few months afterward! I’d probably just wait closer to the date sami (as I dont think theres any incentive to buy early as of yet atleast)

Yeah true you’d have to open the game atleast once that weekend but ya know

[tropic reef]

ping me when you have a latias

im still looking for the shiny

[tight pilot]

Latias a thicccum idk how many more of those i’ll be doing but if I have any i’ll def ping ya

[wet jewel]

Let me disconnect first xD

[tropic reef]

lol

[wet jewel]

I honestly dont mind not getting the Shiny, I just want one decent Latias

[tropic reef]

i just wanna get the shinies of my favorite legendaries

i have a random shiny hunt list

and ofc like 4 of my list goes in order

well.. not in order but pretty close to eachother

[wet jewel]

The only thing in my shiny list is "please god, get me shinnies" xD

[tropic reef]

lol

its basically the same for me except for the legendaries

this my list rn (+ thunderus but i got that yeee)

[fossil basin]

Wow what an butt hole. It made me waste so much berries and ultra balls

[tropic reef]

nice

[covert idol]

damn nice

good ivs?

[fossil basin]

No

[wet jewel]

Holy heck! Niceeee

[fossil basin]

I hate this

[tropic reef]

its not that bad for raids

for raids you mostly need attack but its better if you have all 3 ivs

[fossil basin]

I believe charizard shiny chance was boosted in this event

I was so scared of it running awat

i chuckes like 10+ ultra balls at it

[west marsh]

I don’t know if I can 100% go to the Seattle one once tickets go live for it. But it’s better to book now for hotels and flights. I can cancel later but

[final tulip]

it needs blast burn to be considered "good"

otherwise it's just an acceptable substitute for stuff like reshiram or darmanitan

[fossil basin]

Is blast burn a com day special?

or “elite tm”

honestly i might not use that zard for raids and such

[final tulip]

yes

[fossil basin]

Okay cool

[charred rapids]

I don’t think I’m missing a single shiny legend apart from those that haven’t been released

[tropic reef]

nice

[half kettle]

[charred rapids]

[tropic reef]

zarude coming out soon is pretty pog

[final tulip]

zarude has been out for a while

[fossil basin]

Yeah

[charred rapids]

[tropic reef]

shit

typo

i meant zygarde

[final tulip]

there’s been no announcement for it yet

[tropic reef]

its in the go fest picture

in the backrgound

its kinda small tho

so not officially announced

[charred rapids]

It’s been hinted and theorised, I wouldn’t exactly have hopes until it is announced

[final tulip]

i missed the part when niantic actually announced it

[tropic reef]

they didnt

that looks like zygarde to me tho

[charred rapids]

Get excited for that paywall 👀

[tropic reef]

its gonna be in raids i think

they did say there was gonna be a new 5* raid for the fest

[charred rapids]

Yeah pikachu with a funny hat

60k cp

[tropic reef]

lmao

honestly id be down

[fossil basin]

Yeah my team wiuld suck but if that happened im in XD

All o have is garchomp XD

[tropic reef]

ay its a pikachu

defence and attack and hp cant be that high

[fossil basin]

Haha

[tropic reef]

hey ur squad better than mine

i only have a sandslash and a garchomp both under 1500

my sandslash is broken asf for pvp tho

[ivory halo]

Interesting CP

[gloomy shore]

Rapper Starly in da house

[torn arrow]

looks like some trees to me mate

[fossil basin]

^

[faint ferry]

i dunno... could be unowns

looks like it could go either way to me

[charred rapids]

Looks like a dollar sign

[tight crater]

It said raid lobby was full

Raid lobby is full again

[charred rapids]

Aren't Unowns in the game already?

[faint ferry]

only during certain events, and only typically a few forms at once

[charred rapids]

Ah gotcha. Thought they're a full time spawn but rare like dittos.

[faint ferry]

unown B, G, O, and U are part of the ticketed go fest event

[charred rapids]

Unowns are a full time spawn but much more rare than ditto

I’m a player from the get go, day 1 and I’ve only seen a couple since they were released

[faint ferry]

also day 1 player, never seen one outside an event

[charred rapids]

Yeah the spawn rate ain’t good can tell ya that, wouldn’t be far off being as rare as finding the 3 lake spirits in the wild

[faint ferry]

idk why they bother having such rare spawns

[charred rapids]

Give people a surge of adrenaline when they see it on their nearby, who knows honestly.

[twilit sapphire]

the neuron activation when someone sees a wild unown outside of events

[charred rapids]

^dis exactly

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

Can’t say I’m not that person, gotta flex

[charred rapids]

Lmao

[ashen oxide]

Well I’m all out of passes and revives 32 latias raids later not one golden dragon

[faint ferry]

anybody know if charizards mega level is shared across both X and Y?

[tight pilot]

Yep so long as its the same Zard, it is now! I had specific different zards for X / Y but now both can mega evo to either for the same amount (where as I only did the dedicated one previously)

[faint ferry]

cool

although i guess it doesnt really matter all that much still... youd still really just want a separate zard with dragon breath if you were doing X, right?

esp now that you can get zero cost mega

[glad bay]

Does it go zero cost at full level?

[faint ferry]

it goes to just 3 day cooldown for zero cost and like... max of 10 (?) energy otherwise

[glad bay]

Awesome, thanks @faint ferry

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[faint ferry]

interesting thing to note - my zard became zero cost with around i think 20 hours remaining on its cooldown

[tight pilot]

Yeah I noticed last night my gengar was only 1mega energy to mega @ about 22 hours left

[tropic reef]

Thats def zygarde

[midnight iron]

Can someone explain to me why stuffel takes 400 candy to evolve?

Is bewear that good,

?

[charred rapids]

That's so far away

[charred rapids]

Bewear is decent for go battle league great and ultra but no so much for raiding.

Still shouldn’t take 400 though it’s not that great

[midnight iron]

Ah

[faint ferry]

evo requirements dont tend to have anything to do with how good a mon is...

a lot of them are just stupid requirements

noivern is not good but also requires 400 candy... its also rare when it is spawning and has a buddy distance of 5km

[glad rover]

So Noibat’s the only one of them that does that? Magikarp, Wailmer, and Swablu were decent enough to only need 1 km. Really don’t like that they brought back to 400 candy evolutions. Meltan I understand since it’s a mythical and wants you to work towards getting Melmetal but with the box it’s very easy to get it with just two or three uses of it

[midnight iron]

What are the shiny rates for here?

[pulsar thunder]

Are gifts the fastest/easiest way to get hyper/max potions and revives/max revives?

[final tulip]

i wouldn’t say decent but it has play if supported correctly

[final tulip]

either that or gyms

[pulsar thunder]

Thx those latios/latías raids have a few of my mons wiped out lol

[torn arrow]

trees and grass mate

[tropic reef]

Clearly the zygarde snake head to me

And the body is the green squiggle

Niantic also said that they were going to make a new 5* raid and i dont see what else it could really be

[final tulip]

no one else knows what else it could possibly be

[tropic reef]

Arceus gonna be a 268938 star

[fossil basin]

where are the spikes on its head?

[charred rapids]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/zygarde.gif

[tropic reef]

there

its just blended in with the background

[fossil basin]

where i dont see it

[tropic reef]

because theres a giant red line covering it lmao

[fossil basin]

well remvove it and draw a bigger circle

[torn arrow]

trees mate

[tropic reef]

trees arent squiggly lines that are on the ground

[torn arrow]

you're making stuff up out of nothing

it's shadows and grass

[tropic reef]

im really not

it looks like that cus i zoomed in

[torn arrow]

the eyes is the only thing keeping me from ridiculing you

anyway ima stop hurling shit at you

[twilit sapphire]

[tropic reef]

u guys telling me you dont see the green squiggly body thats a different green than all the grass and trees around it?

[torn arrow]

I really don't

niantic don't put effort into promotional art

[charred rapids]

Idk they put Rowlet on Exceggutor's head I think that's pretty neat

[fossil basin]

Its either

1. Its real
2. A rouse from niantic as a joke
3. It just doesn’t exist

[tropic reef]

i doubt it doesnt exist

[fossil basin]

I will run with 3.

[tropic reef]

like i see it right there

and if its a rouse

thats uh e

[twilit sapphire]

I did see Zygarde since day one of that image

so I dont think you're crazy

I think it would be the surprise 5 star raid that the event was saying but tbh we dont really know

[fossil basin]

Who knows

Maybe it will maybe it wont

[tropic reef]

there isnt many other legendaries to put but zygarde

and arceus but i doubt it would be a measly 5*

[final tulip]

i mean even if they release zygarde it will probably be pretty useless

[tropic reef]

facts but i still love the shiny and the pokemon in general

so imma raid for the shiny (when the shiny comes out)

[torn arrow]

i like toothpaste snek so I'm just hoping that the 100% form is added in some way and it is useable

because then I will have an increased chance of giving niantic money

[odd glade]

Do you guys think they will give us a sky form shaymin in August/September following the Berlin GoFest or there will be only a research for land form / candies

[tropic reef]

I doubt it

Like is pirouette even in the game yet?

Nvm it is apparently

[dusty oracle]

Probably; it may be in the final wrap up event.

[midnight iron]

FIRST TRY
Took 1 berry and great ball with a great throw
Apparently it's a weather spawn

[tropic reef]

when hoenn tour comes do you guys think latias will be back in raids?

Cus im still looking for the shiny and im out of raid passes/latias is too bulky 😕

[glad rover]

Meloetta’s Aria form’s the only one currently in the game

[tropic reef]

Thats what i thought

Theres an option for pirouette tho

[glad rover]

And same thing for Black and White Kyurem for its dex entry but neither of them are in the game either

[tropic reef]

Ok

[hidden adder]

guys

I just caught 3 charizards

[glad bay]

Is the Pokémon plus thingy worthwhile?

[tropic reef]

It probably is but if it were me i wouldnt risk losing a shiny

[glad bay]

From my understanding it lets you know when there’s a Pokémon and let’s you throw balls, but there’s not much else right? Can’t see what it is or anything?

[tropic reef]

It auto throws a ball and if doesnt catch the pokemon flees

I think

It also auto spins pokestops

Or am i thinking about something else

[charred rapids]

The gotcha is is the automatic spinner and catcher

The plus is manual, gotta press a button every time it’s in the vicinity of a spawn or stop, it will vibrate to tell ya when you’re close

Also it drains ya pokeballs so quick, since it’s the only type of ball it will use you’ll need a good stack

[glad bay]

Thanks for the info @charred rapids @tropic reef

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[glad bay]

Now I just need to beat Giovanni. Keep getting within one or two hits of beating his Shadow Latias.

[tropic reef]

What mon u using for lapras

[glad bay]

He’s got Gyarados for me

Or did you mean Latias? I was using a scyther but also tried an arcanine with a dark move set. I don’t have great counters.

[charred rapids]

What ya got bud, if you’re managing to make it to the latias than pull up ya psychic/dragon counters

[tropic reef]

i read lapras 💀

[glad bay]

I usually use the bewear, scyther and a CP 1918 magneton for it

[tropic reef]

what dark, dragon and fairy pokemon do you have

[glad bay]

Tried with the arcanine because he evolved to having two dark attacks

[tropic reef]

still neutral to dragon/psychic

i think ur tapu bulu might be decent if it has the dazzling gleam

[glad bay]

It does

Wasn’t sure how to look up both types at once, sorry for all the pictures.

[tropic reef]

use a ,

to search multiple

[glad bay]

😂 oh

[charred rapids]

No it’s not neutral, dark is still super effective, however stab probably stops it from being as effective as an actual dark type.

[tropic reef]

i mean the arkanine

its a fire type

[charred rapids]

But he’s running double dark moves on it

Ahhh, well you don’t want a dragon

[tropic reef]

hey i was fine with a dragon

ma boi kekrom destroys

[charred rapids]

Because of the moveset

Latias can learn charm, we need to know what the moveset is at the time before you throw a dragon at it

[tropic reef]

yeah true

[charred rapids]

So @glad bay next time you get gio, do a test run and tell us what the latias has as a fast move

[tropic reef]

mine had zen headbutt so thats probs why i could use kekrom

whys it so hard to find a shadow larvitar grunt

im still looking for candy for my ttar and to get a shadow ttar

[glad bay]

Does it say on screen what the fast move is?

[tropic reef]

no

just look at the animation it does

basically

like purple smog is dragons breath etc

[glad bay]

Ohh okay

[glad bay]

Latias does like a spin around attack

[tropic reef]

i think thats charm?

[glad bay]

I’ve fought Giovanni six or seven times and it’s always Gyarados but this time was suddenly Honchkrow, completely threw me off

[tropic reef]

not sure though

[final tulip]

look at his possible line up

[glad bay]

Yeah I’ve seen his second Pokémon can be a pick of three, but after so many of the same I thought it would always be Gyarados

[charred rapids]

No just coincidence, it doesn’t help that the balloon changes every hour for the event lol

New line up and new move sets every hour if you don’t beat him

[glad bay]

Oh damn

[charred rapids]

The first and last Mon will always be the same though, so it’s easy to manoeuvre around the lineup, it’s the moveset that can trip you, it could have zen headbutt one hour and then charm the next, again if you test it by having a dragon last and it goes down pretty dang quick you’ll know it’s charm

Dragon breath is easier to distinguish out of the three

[tropic reef]

zen headbutt is definitely the best to fight

[final tulip]

it helps that zen headbutt is a very bad move

[charred rapids]

Charm is the worst, dragon breath could line up a good fairy at least.

[faint ferry]

giovannis persian is ridiculous... i need a ghost or something with fighting moves i think

it always lasts much longer than the other 2 cause you gotta break those shields... and it tends to wreck machamp

[charred rapids]

Lucario, melmetal are two decent matchups

[torn arrow]

melmetal is hella chonky and can spam superpower. I think mine beat persian with half health. I don't think luca is gonna last long unless you stunlock it

[faint ferry]

need to evolve a lucario, dont have enough candy though and my only riolu is 10/10/11

melmetal might be tanky, but its not particularly good on offense cause of the crap move pool

[final tulip]

superpower is a good move, but you’re going to have to get the shields with rock slide

only downside of using melmetal

i know it’s hard to build but xl scrafty does very well against giovanni especially when his legendary is weak to dark or fighting

[faint ferry]

yeah, im not spending 100k stardust on that...

[final tulip]

oh right i’m forgetting not everyone has a master league melmetal already built (myself included)

[faint ferry]

i dont pvp at all...

just realised i have mega steelix up atm though and can use meltans to finish my shiny mew quest

[torn arrow]

superpower charges faster lmfoa

[charred rapids]

Guess because the superpower debuffs

[torn arrow]

oh yeah it debuffs, forgor about that

[glad bay]

@charred rapids @tropic reef finally got him

First try this morning actually

[faint ferry]

is it any good at least?

[glad bay]

Lol no sadly

@faint ferry

[faint ferry]

oof

mine was 14/11/6

[glad bay]

Decent Att at least then

[faint ferry]

yeah, not just junk

not a pvp mon... not that i pvp

[glad bay]

I never caught any of the raid Latios or Latias, even with great and excellent throws and golden berries. This guy I caught with a garbage toss first throw.

[faint ferry]

yeah, apparently the catch rate on the T6 raids was terrible

[glad bay]

Yeah 0 out of 5 attempts

For me at least

Couldn’t keep up buying revives

[torn arrow]

i think it's 2% assuming no berries, straight throw and no great/excellent

[tropic reef]

Nicee

[charred rapids]

raid megalatias 3337 1203 3565

[charred rapids]

Our bonding just wasn't effective 😔

[glad bay]

I really like how Serperior looks

Didn’t even know about it until recently

[fickle pelican]

For playing the safari zone, i have to pay the ticket and going to Sivilla, or the ticket unlock only a task, and going in Sivilla still let me play the safari zone?

[final tulip]

for the safari zones you have to be there in person

[glad bay]

Trying to teach my shadow Latias a new charge move, but it says it can’t unlearn Frustration right now. Anyone know why?

[cold saffron]

frustration can only be removed during special events

[fickle pelican]

So ticket is just to unlock the quest?

[glad bay]

Well that’s annoying. Thank you though

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to Fubani.

[final tulip]

you have to be there in person to receive the special research afaik

[fickle pelican]

Okay thanks

[crisp relic]

Gardy has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.

[glad bay]

This game.

Alright so I’ve mentioned my bad luck with catching a Latios or Latias. Wasn’t gonna try again. Decided to do one more and got this guy. Used a golden berry and a curved throw but nothing else.

[final tulip]

fortunately shinies from raids are guaranteed catches

[tropic reef]

next time you encounter a shiny, use a silver pinap or just a pinap if you dont have a silver

[glad bay]

Oh well wtf haha

I had no idea

Thankfully I received more than enough mega energy from the raids

So anytime you see a shiny from a raid it’s a guaranteed catch?

[tropic reef]

yep

you just have to hit it

[glad bay]

Wild. Thanks @tropic reef

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to RB12Gaming.

[glad bay]

And thanks @final tulip

[crisp relic]

You gave General Rep too recently. You will be able to rep again in 9 minutes and 49 seconds.

[glad bay]

Is there a best move set for Latios?

[tropic reef]

what type raid attacker u tryna do

wait no zen headbutts garbage

dragons breath psychic dragon claw

ig replace psychic with luster purge if you dont want to tm off the legacy move

[glad bay]

I don’t really PvP so I would just like to build solid raiding Pokémon.

[tropic reef]

dragon breath dragon claw

[glad bay]

Done. Got rid of luster purge.

[tropic reef]

Damn without a second thought

If it were me i wouldve kept luster purge cus its a legacy

I wouldve rare candied to double move but i think im like the only oen who would do that

Kekrom bout to be double moved

Wild charge time bois

[glad bay]

I mean I wasn’t sure if I should get rid of luster purge but it’s too late now lol

Hope that wasn’t a mistake

[tropic reef]

Its not a good move anyway

Psychics better

Hes so happy 🥲

At this rate i might start liking latios more than latias

[glad bay]

Cute picture

[fading harbor]

Can someone go into the friend channel and add me I am one pikachu away from the electrify the sky mission in Pokémon go and I have no pokeballs

[glad bay]

Just need 23 more magikarp

[tropic reef]

Just found a glitch

My mega latios turned into a mega legendary egg for a milisecond

Couldnt snap a pic because it was so fast though

[fading harbor]

Wait it turned into an egg when you already caught it so like when you are looking at it in the place where you can like give it a nickname or power it up it just turned into an egg

If that happened to me I wouldn’t know whether to be amazed or worried that my game isn’t working properly

[stark narwhal]

Do you still need someone to add you for Pikachu?

[fading harbor]

Yes

And are special research Pokémon pre determined to be shiny because I got a special research shiny alohlan vulpix and don’t know if I can just not catch it and it will still be shiny

What??

Does spark not see the rocket balloon right there

[final tulip]

it will remain shiny

[dusty oracle]

With limited exceptions to Mythicals, and from very select researches, no Pokemon is guaranteed shiny from a task.

However, once a pokemon has been rolled shiny from a task, you can run away, and it will remain shiny.

[dusty oracle]

Rocket Radar Scanning only searches for stop-based leaders, as balloons are around you anyway.

[tropic reef]

I already caught it and mega evolved it

And i saw a glimpse of the mega legendary egg

It turned into an egg lmao

[glad bay]

I was getting a drifloon and a magikarp spawn like every five to ten minutes back to back for most of the day and now I’m getting nothing. So close to finishing some ghost research and evolving a magikarp.

[tropic reef]

Oh bruh both the ghost and magikarp tasks are both a pain in the ass

[glad bay]

I agree completely

Caught 40 ghost types to get to the next step and what’s there? Catch 40 more. I’m five away now.

[wet jewel]

Omg im really tired of this... another 2 star latias... i need a 3 one for megaevolve and its like the 7th one...

Ok i checked.. not 7, 5... but still!!!!

[raw stratus]

guys...

i turned on adventure sync yesterday

and good thing i did

i was sitting on my bed checked pogo and BOOM

[fossil basin]

Is there raid hour for latios/latias or its over?

[final tulip]

there was one on wednesday

[fossil basin]

piss

[faint ferry]

i got 1 event egg... event ends in 24mins

also only saw a total of 5 pikachus

[ivory halo]

That is one of the cutest thing I have ever seen.

[glad bay]

This research is annoying

[tropic reef]

true

it took me half a year to finish it lol

if u dont finish it in the halloween event its gonna be hard

[faint ferry]

i just finished that a couple weeks ago cause of the lack of ghost spawns

the 40 ghosts, i already had the 9 types done

[glad bay]

This is the third time I’ve had to do those steps

Or at least catch the 40 ghost types.

I also have the research where I had to catch ghost types and dark types. Still working on the dark types because they never spawn near me.

[faint ferry]

i still have the 2020 december community day quest

for electabuzz and magmar

[tropic reef]

lol

wait werent they timed researches?

[faint ferry]

community days usually have timed research and the permanent one

[tropic reef]

ohh thats the paid one

ok

[glad bay]

Were Electabuzz and Magmar spawning during that?

[faint ferry]

yeah, but i just wasnt able to finish it before the event ended

[glad bay]

Yeah that makes sense

[faint ferry]

i also have the recent april fools quest with 2/3 dittos caught lol

[glad bay]

Oof

That event was the only time I’ve seen dittos

[fading harbor]

Can the special research Things give you Pokémon to catch other than just the same boring ones you can get normally

[tropic reef]

they are all set spawns

[ocean ember]

????

[twilit sapphire]

Research rewards are always set mons as reward

Pretty sure you can Google the research and it will show you what encounters you can get

[final tulip]

tsr is also a good resource for that

[wet jewel]

I got 2 more remote passes, should i just stop searching and Mega this Latias or spend the last 2 passes?

This is the best latias i have caught

[final tulip]

tbh it really doesn't matter for latias because latios just outclasses it

just mega evolve a shiny if you have it or just use that one

[wet jewel]

No i couldnt get a Shiny...

But thank you for calming my nerves, I was getting really stressed that I couldnt get anything good

[glad bay]

Should I focus on Salamence or Dratini raids?

[final tulip]

neither because bagon and dratini are featured in events fairly frequently

if anything go after rockruff because it's still a fairly new shiny

[tropic reef]

wait they are?

is it just me thats never seen a dratini in the wild other than the shiny i found in 2017

and the dragonairs in an event last year but those arent dratinis hehehe

[final tulip]

i said events not the seasonal spawns

i'm talking about stuff like the x and y events in summer last year or the dragonspiral event in december

[tropic reef]

yea dragonspiral was the one with the dragonairs i think

but i swear i have like never seen a dratini other than the shiny

[final tulip]

that was both dratini and dragonair

also deino

[glad bay]

I mean a shiny would be awesome, but are rockruffs/lycanrocs any good?

Was more looking at Salamence and (eventually) Dragonite for raiding mons

[final tulip]

again, bagon and dratini are featured in events and salamence needs outrage (which is a legacy move) to be a good attacker

and i wouldn't worry about getting good pve pokemon at your level just focus on levelling

but in the end it's up to you

[analog steeple]

Also as someone who loves dratini I probably have used my dragonite in raids like maybe 2x?

[tropic reef]

ive never used my avacado in raids

[analog steeple]

Have you used guac tho

[tropic reef]

?

i dont got a guac one

only my precious avacado

[analog steeple]

🥑

[tropic reef]

my first shiny

[final tulip]

cho

[glad bay]

Fair. Not sure what the best way to level is, hence my focus on raiding.

[glad bay]

I love what you name your mons

[tropic reef]

i would just keep catching pokemon

and do a bit of pvp

[tropic reef]

lol

thx

[analog steeple]

Tbh I’ve fallen off pogo as soon as this season was unranked lol

[oblique ridge]

last time i was rank 20 was millennia ago

[final tulip]

have you built a kommo-o yet

[oblique ridge]

Dont tell me thats the meta now.... for ul or ml?

[tropic reef]

yall have kommo-os?

[analog steeple]

Awww shit is that meta now?

[tropic reef]

ive only found 1 jangmo-o with bad ivs lol

[analog steeple]

I don’t even have one to my name lol

[final tulip]

i have one built for gl and i’m working on one for ul

[oblique ridge]

Name

[analog steeple]

[final tulip]

i’ve been dumping all my rc into jangmo-o

[oblique ridge]

Soooo ig i can use my slowbro now? Errr oh wait pinsir toooo

[final tulip]

shadow pinsir has play in limited metas

[oblique ridge]

Shtinky shuedos

Now shadow

Not*

[tropic reef]

oohh ok

[analog steeple]

Wtf time to build one??

[tropic reef]

ive been dumping mine on ma kekrom

my favorite boi

[analog steeple]

Time to make a jango fett

[final tulip]

it has a good stat product and good moves too

[oblique ridge]

Jango fatt-- snorlax i think i have one for ul

[analog steeple]

Bruh 😂

[oblique ridge]

Lemme nickname it that

[analog steeple]

Uze are ya building for UL or ML?

[final tulip]

i tried kommo-o in both retro cup and open gl and i can say it works in both

[analog steeple]

Ooo interesting. Have seen it in GL but didn’t know if it worked further up

[final tulip]

UL not going to bother about ml until i get a hundo or fundo

it’s very satisfying throwing off a cc against galarian stunfisk

[oblique ridge]

Decent stats too, 3 star, i think 13/12/12, you guys use pokegenie for checking ivs right?

[oblique ridge]

Fundo? Nundo?

[analog steeple]

Pokegenie for IVs yes! Super easy to use

[final tulip]

fundo as in functional hundo so 15/15/14 ivs

[oblique ridge]

Time to delete zome apps!

[oblique ridge]

Ohh

[final tulip]

doesn’t work for all levels but depends on the pokemon

[oblique ridge]

Should i keep for gl?

Oh wait is that a mega chari y in the background?

[tropic reef]

yea

that has not good pvp ivs anyway

[oblique ridge]

really? Why?

[tropic reef]

its better for no attack because something about the attack stat increases cp double the amount defence and hp does

so if you have low attack you can power up the pokemon more and it can take more hits

because it has alot more defence and hp

[oblique ridge]

Rip

I always thought chari was more atk based

What about raids?

I think i have like

120 candy to use

[tropic reef]

yeah

charizards good for raids

one of the best fire type raid attackers for the one you have

and dragon type raid attackers / a decent fire type raid attacker for x

itll need blast burn im p sure though

[final tulip]

the mega it is better as is determined by which legacy move it has

[tropic reef]

^

[final tulip]

@oblique ridge take a look at this for a good explanation on ivs

[tropic reef]

but they have y so i was just saying blastburn

[final tulip]

just keep in mind that ivs are not end all and be all

[tropic reef]

fax

my serperior can tank

[final tulip]

my gl kommo-o is 1/7/5 but still performs very well

[tropic reef]

my serperior is from a december comm day research

so 3 star

[oblique ridge]

Ohhh thanks!

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.

[oblique ridge]

Ill rep you in 10 minutes

It has no legacy moves, i have a 1* chari with i think a dragon fast move, cant remember the name

[sleek quarry]

Dragon breath is a com-day fast move

[gentle flume]

Yo

[faint ferry]

back down to only 20k stardust

[twilit sapphire]

[bleak niche]

Just TMd luster purge off my 96% shiny latios so I’ve double moved it with psychic and dragon claw now

[faint ferry]

imagine having TMs

[oblique ridge]

Thanks

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to RB12Gaming.

[oblique ridge]

yeah, it was that lol

[fading harbor]

How would TMs work if they made a movie and someone gave there Pokémon a TM because a TM is a CD 📀 so are you just force feeding Pokémon CDs or is there some thing like the pokeball can scan things and it scans the TM while the Pokémon is in the pokeball and the the Pokémon learns it that way

[candid thicket]

They bring portable TVs and play the discs immediately in lumiose city or something i dont play X and Y

[kindred musk]

lol

[tropic reef]

They have a tiny hologram phone thing

[tropic reef]

What are the new raids

[glad bay]

Tapu Fini

And Mega Blastoise

[tropic reef]

Ooh blastoise

Might have to do a few of those

[glad bay]

Lots of random 1-3 star ones

[tropic reef]

Know any of the 3 stars?

[glad bay]

Alakazam, Salamence, Mightyena as far as I can see

@tropic reef

[tropic reef]

None worth it this time around

Other than sala but i have one alr

[charred rapids]

Can it be shiny?

[kindred musk]

nope

[glad bay]

I wasn’t sure, is it just not a released shiny yet?

[glad bay]

Yeah I got one Salamence last night but will probably try a couple more times in hopes of better IVs

12/15/12 right now

[tropic reef]

Dont

Most 3 stars arent worth it

[glad bay]

I just mean if I see it locally. Probably won’t use any remote passes on it.

[tropic reef]

Ook

Yea

[glad bay]

I want Tapu Fini though at least for my dex

[tropic reef]

Same

[glad bay]

Do you know why it can’t be shiny? I can’t seem to see online where it says it can’t.

[kindred musk]

None of them released as shiny yet

most legendaries don’t debut as shiny you have to wait for the next time or next few times it comes out

[tropic reef]

The shiny usually comes out the second time the pokemon comes to raids

[dusty oracle]

Second or third.

Occasionally fourth.

[tropic reef]

When bolt strike zekrom

I need to etm my kekrom bolt strike comes out

[kindred musk]

Kekrom lol

[tropic reef]

Thats ma favorite bois name

[kindred musk]

[kindred musk]

lol

Is that shiny or normal

it’s hard to tell

[tropic reef]

Shiny

[kindred musk]

o

I have one too

[tropic reef]

I cant wait to get bolt strike

[dusty oracle]

The way it works is not an "Opt out" system, but an "Opt in" system, where all mons, at Niantic ground zero, cannot be available shiny. There are individual toggles for every mon, (most likely several toggles, one at each rarity level), and Niantic have to toggle the mon to be available as shiny at a given shiny rarity level, for it to be shiny.

[kindred musk]

and so they can make money

[dusty oracle]

If it's not advertised as shiny, it won't be shiny.

The exceptions being where Niantic plans an event, fills in half the coding, scraps it, and forgets to remove the code telling the toggle to turn on, which has happened on a few occasions.

[kindred musk]

druddigon for example

[dusty oracle]

Druddigon's an example of them forgetting to keep it on.

[kindred musk]

o

[dusty oracle]

2019's go fest Abra would be a good example of them planning something and forgetting to delete it.

They (allegedly) planned to release Shiny Abra for GO Fest 2019, programmed the toggle switch to turn on at the start time, decided against it later, forgot to remove the auto-toggle on.

[glad bay]

Interesting, thanks @dusty oracle

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

[dusty oracle]

Oh, and Water Event highlights are Costume Lapras and Dewpider release, Shiny Binacle release.

Nothing groundbreaking or entirely unpredictable.

[tight pilot]

Nothing groundbreaking?! Excuse me sir have you seeeeen that fancy boy lapras

[glad bay]

Any chance there will be increased magikarp spawns? 👀

[tropic reef]

are costume lapras going to be rare spawn?

or raids

[kindred musk]

Probably just raids

[tropic reef]

sad

[glad bay]

Is one of the poliwhirl evolutions better than the other?

[kindred musk]

idk tbh probably not

[cold saffron]

they're both pretty good in PVP

[dusty oracle]

Unsure. The source only puts up the "highlights" of an event, usually either the day of or the day before the update page.

[dusty oracle]

Do these souvenirs do anything or are they just a decoration

[dusty oracle]

Decoration

[dusty oracle]

In answer to the question, yes.

[stark narwhal]

Hatched. I’ll take it. I assume it’s 125 candy to evolve it all the way?

[dusty oracle]

124

[twilit sapphire]

@analog steeple it is time

[tropic reef]

How common do you guys think the research task for 10 gyarados energy will be

I need 160 more and the timed research gives 50

So i need 11 of these tasks

[dusty oracle]

Decently.

[final tulip]

2 events featuring mantine in a row

not bad

[glad bay]

Fantastic, thank you.

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

[glad bay]

I thought it would take me ages to evolve a Gyarados. Only need 8 more magikarp.

[analog steeple]

My body is ready. Shiny Lapras with drip

[lucid frigate]

Raid only tho niantic move

And i already know that research task is gonna be win 1 raid

[final tulip]

at least you can get 6 a day

[gloomy shore]

@blissful quarry FIFIIIIII

[wet jewel]

This will be a battle between Shiny Lapras and Blastoise MEnergy/Good IVs

[ivory halo]

I got a better one.

[charred rapids]

No, no battle, just lapras hunting

[faint ferry]

mega gyarados costs too much smh

[final tulip]

it's also very good

[charred rapids]

I just walk it, think I have over a thousand in energy and so long as I get it to the max level should be gravy

[faint ferry]

i have zero gyarados mega energy...

[kindred musk]

Gravy? Where?

I got 180 mega energy for gyarados

[tropic reef]

I have 140

[kindred musk]

rip

we all broke here

[charred rapids]

1,890 👀

[kindred musk]

scratch that

[rotund copper]

Do people actually do mega raids

[charred rapids]

I do enough to mega evolve them, then I walk em

The amount of energy gained after a few events will be enough to never even think about the raids

[kindred musk]

[tropic reef]

Yes

[short drum]

Da fuq is going on here

[kindred musk]

lol

[charred rapids]

Secret shiny

[final tulip]

visual glitch

[charred rapids]

Will it have increased shiny odds?

[final tulip]

it is currently shiny locked

and nothing featured in spotlight hours has boosted odds unless the species itself has boosted rates

[charred rapids]

👍 ty

[safe meadow]

Hello

Quick question how come I haven't got any shinies

I usually get so many

[tropic reef]

just luck

[torn arrow]

skill issue imo

[tropic reef]

Skissue

[glad bay]

I know not all raid Pokémon can be perfect but it sucks getting two star mons.

[twilit sapphire]

the moment when you finally hatch that 10km-12km egg and it has shitty ivs

[glad bay]

Exactly

[analog steeple]

Walking a 10km egg to get a damn goomy

[tropic reef]

I have only got 1 10km

Never seen any others

[analog steeple]

They have adventure sync eggs if you walk 50km in a week

[elder cloud]

can numel be shiny

[glad bay]

Anything special to those eggs?

[dusty oracle]

Nope.

[dusty oracle]

They have a different, set possible mons in the egg pool.

Munchlax/Shieldon/Phantump/Dedenne/Cranidos/Happiny for the 5km egg,
Beldum/Deino/Bagon/Riolu/Goomy for the 10km egg.

[stark narwhal]

What’s the Ditto Mons rn? Got a research task for catching one. Would delete but it’s rare candy so

[dusty oracle]

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

[tropic reef]

ekans and lillipups spawn quite a bit

the others close to none though

[fossil basin]

Does lapras with drip pop up in 3 star raids?

[fossil basin]

well soon

[oblique ridge]

oh wait does anyone know what tomorrows raid hour mon is

[slow warren]

Should be tapu fini I'd imagine?

[tropic reef]

nevermind tapu fini..... drip lapras is now in

[glad bay]

Is every Lapras raid a drip lapras or is that just a chance?

[fossil basin]

all should be lapras with drip

[oblique ridge]

This

Oops wrong place

[fossil basin]

oof

[kindred musk]

I already have a shiny lapras

am I really willing to get another one

[rotund copper]

Yes

Yes you are

[kindred musk]

[glad bay]

Pokegenie queue is the slowest I’ve ever seen right now

[rotund copper]

8 open lobbies for Fini

3,500 in queue for Lapras

[analog steeple]

It’s simple. Fini has no drip, Lapras has all the drip

[charred rapids]

And it’s shiny lapras with drip

[analog steeple]

I’m a simple pogo player I see a Lapras in raids and I whale

[final tulip]

i don't see no kommo-o built yet

[glad bay]

Got in when the queue was around 2,500. That was over two hours ago and still only at 1,166.

[strange zinc]

ive played off and on since 2016... ive never done a raid

rip living in the ass end of nowhere

[charred rapids]

That’s why they brought remotes into the system get started

[strange zinc]

ill have to wait someone hosts another then

[fossil basin]

okay i found a hundo karp in the wild

[glad bay]

Niiice

[fossil basin]

what am i supposed to do with it

[tropic reef]

and then mega

[fossil basin]

that means.... i need to grind 400 candy again. hahahahaha.... pain

[tropic reef]

hey a perfects a perfect

and mega gyarados is really good

so id say its worth the grind

just qc

[fossil basin]

ugh 60 candy to go then....

[final tulip]

only evolve it when gyarados can learn aqua tail upon evolution

[charred rapids]

👀

Transfer them all

[tropic reef]

[torn arrow]

okay

ig I will raid drip

[glad bay]

What does that mean?

[sleek quarry]

Lapras with a bowtie, ie "Drip" Lapras

[glad bay]

Ahhhh

I’m overthinking so many things in here 😂

[glad bay]

Three magikarp away from finally evolving one and none are spawning.

Was really hoping to get a decent IV one too, not much luck so far.

When is the safari zone event

Ping me when u answer, bc i don't check discord usually

[dusty oracle]

It's ticketted, and in-person only.

[rotund copper]

Anyone else’s game just not working recently?

Can’t catch stuff, things constantly glitching, etc.

[dusty oracle]

Have you updated the game?

[twilit sapphire]

just open the in game news or the web page

[rotund copper]

Yup, up to date

My Pokémon go egg widget isn’t working now either

[dusty oracle]

Fabulous, what specifically have you had issue with?

[rotund copper]

Uhh lemme screen record what happens when I get a chance, but basically:

I tap on a Pokémon and it just goes white. I can hear the Pokémon doing it’s cry and what not, but then it just suddenly goes back to the overworld after a few seconds

Half the sprites aren’t loading

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, that's decidedly not normal.

[rotund copper]

Oh and this happened

[dusty oracle]

I would double check you know your sign-in method, delete the app, re-install it. You'll have to reset a few options, as well, but it's worth a shot.

[rotund copper]

OH OH OH

I went to go test if it was working and this was what appeared

[dusty oracle]

Ahahahahaha

Always the blursed luck.

[rotund copper]

Well then, guess it works now

Thanks for the help

[dusty oracle]

I've checked other sources, and there doesn't seem to be any widespread issue, so if it happens again, do try reinstalling.

[rotund copper]

Alrighty

[rotund copper]

[crisp relic]

Rosa has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

[tropic reef]

same

[dusty oracle]

Never mind! Niantic have accidentally broken the game by bringing weather effects back!

[final tulip]

it's been so long

[glad bay]

What do they do?

[dusty oracle]

It's honestly hard to get a handle on what the actual issues are.

There's a fair few people commenting, but it's unclear how many have actually updated and refreshed the app.

[slow warren]

Weather effects?

[rotund copper]

Oh, so it wasn’t just me? I thought my phone was being weird by not showing weather effects like rain and what not

[glad bay]

What kind of stats should I look for in a magikarp I want to evolve? I imagine the a hundo is the best, but if I don’t have that should I prioritize any certain IV?

[charred rapids]

Just anything above 96% with attack, don’t wanna waste 400 candies only to find a better one ya know

[glad bay]

Exactly

I’ve got six I’m looking at.

[final tulip]

personally i wouldn’t evolve a magikarp until gyarados can learn aqua tail but evolution

and none of those are any good
