[covert idol]

🙄 here we go again

[rotund copper]

Pain

[torn arrow]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/july-2022-content-update/

[final tulip]

i was right

good to see that dialga is back

[odd glade]

No event mentioned between July12 to July27 means we will get a rocket event somewhen between .. Shadow Latios lets go

[flint wind]

yess dialga xl candies for my maxed out boi

[sleek bane]

Dialga is only fun thing for a month. 😅

[faint ferry]

what date is it for you? if you opened it on the 28th there should be time for 1 more box before the event ends

[faint ferry]

ooh, zapdos, moltres, and gengar

[sullen peak]

It's the 28th for me also

What time on the 30th does the meltan event end?

[faint ferry]

8pm

[sullen peak]

Oh alright. I should have time then

[twilit sapphire]

July stuff

[sullen peak]

Is he good?

[oblique ridge]

What?? Why dialga out of nowhere

[twilit sapphire]

on to another shiny dialga i guess haha

[oblique ridge]

[faint ferry]

lost the 1/2 to hit rock slide with TMs on my terrakion three times

[whole crane]

legit said the same thing

[oblique ridge]

Like i get ho-oh or lugia

[outer tree]

Are the legendary birds worth raiding? I know the shadow versions are better.

[charred rapids]

Only if you have hundo’s/shundo’s to make out

[faint ferry]

having more than one of some of the best raiders is always good, right?

articuno isnt great, but zapdos and moltres are

[charred rapids]

They’re above average, there are better mons for each type to raid with

[outer tree]

Gotcha guys thanks for the feedback. @faint ferry @charred rapids

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[outer tree]

Looks like I’ll be raiding hard for them I need gengar mega energy too

Yeah I’m waiting for reshiram and zekrom to appear agian I just started back playing when they appeared but I missed the event. @charred rapids

[twilit sapphire]

well they just came back like two months ago so it might take a while

[charred rapids]

If I’d focus on anything for any other player it would be dialga

[final tulip]

aimee that was back in december

[charred rapids]

But I have a shundo moltres to max to 50 so like

[outer tree]

Yeah Dialga is a must for me.

Palkia is pretty beast too

[charred rapids]

Besides there is talk about the galar birbs coming soon anyway, they share the same candy

[outer tree]

True true that should be lit

[rotund copper]

I mean, the galar birbs were found in the files

with the kanto birbs coming soon, I feel like the galar birbs will be really soon too

[oblique ridge]

Maybe ho-oh lugia soon tho

[near yarrow]

Thinking about it it’s been at least a year or two since the beasts were available for more then a day

Then again palkia is probably next because of dialga

And then maybe giratina

[charred rapids]

Giratina probably not, as it is coded to be a shadow legendary soon

Which is gonna beeeeee broken

[rotund copper]

Shadow Giratina

Sounds like it’ll be a fun raid counter

[charred rapids]

Should be an amazing one, and should at least be powered to 40 regardless of the IV spread since shadows are always superior

[woeful grotto]

Jesus christ

[fickle grail]

Would anyone want to trade me the Pokémon I need for the event

[faint ferry]

trade is limited to within 100m

[fickle grail]

Oh

[woeful grotto]

Yeah that kind of dumb tbh

Basically trade with people who play the game closely

Like university or school students

[frosty violet]

Is this game f2p friendly for just collecting exclusive mons for home?

[pulsar thunder]

Yeah it’s pretty F2P friendly if you live in a city/suburban area. Tough to grind if you’re in a rural area

[glad rover]

Why’s Pansear in the picture for the sixth anniversary thing? It doesn’t mention it spawning anywhere on Serebii. It’s a regional Pokémon I’d like though since where I live only Panpour spawn

[odd glade]

ohwell I was right about the shadow latios, was wrong about the dates

[rancid oasis]

first ditto i have ever caught was a shiny 🙃

[final tulip]

https://pokemongolive.com/post/anniversary-event-battle-weekend-2022/

[rotund copper]

Ngl, that pikachu is kinda cute

Its weird that they did just Charmander though, and not all 3 party hat starters

[tropic reef]

Ralts in wild

[tropic moat]

oh my god cake costume pikachu

dammit niantic you've sucked me in again, I need one

[rotund copper]

Ill take 3

[tropic moat]

you fuckers might've screwed me out of a shiny meltan, but

(not you all in this channel, just having a dialogue with niantic for a sec)

[charred rapids]

starting to think meltan's shiny rate is the standard 1/500 or whatever the fuck, with none of the 300 encounters I've had in the past two weeks being shiny

NEVER MIND I FUCKING GOT IT

two minutes before my box ran out as well

[flint wind]

is it worth it spend 80 rare candy for a 2nd charge move on registeel?

[charred rapids]

i mean i wouldn't

[slow warren]

I did, served me pretty great in fossil cup
But depends on your pvp teams i guess

[final tulip]

yes

[flint wind]

alright! ill grind the necessary dust then ill have a menace to gl!

[sleek quarry]

I got traded for a low attack regi and I spent all of dust on it for gl. It's a menace

[slow warren]

Lucky 😮 only could trade one regi and it ended up with higher ivs then before so I think im using a 10/15/14

[twilit sapphire]

ngl the fancy clothing is cute

cant wait to use the random cursed poses with fancy clothes

[outer tree]

Finally I’ll be able to tm away frustration.

[stark narwhal]

No info about why pansear was included in that image?

[rotund copper]

Nope

[faint ferry]

if its just for PvE why not just give it a second move?

a bit of candy and stardust vs a tm seems preferable

[outer tree]

That is true huh. @faint ferry

I might do that then

[faint ferry]

its what i do for all my good non legendary shadows...

makes them usable without having to wait for the event too

[outer tree]

Ah makes sense…

[glad bay]

I have an excess of TMs is my only thought

[faint ferry]

i used up 11 TMs trying to get zapdos to learn tbolt this week

[glad bay]

Yikes

[faint ferry]

yeah, all it takes is a run of bad luck

[glad bay]

I guess moves are where I have luck since I don’t have much luck with everything else.

It’s always been 3 TMs or less to get what I was hoping for

[faint ferry]

buying the second charge move on mons can also aid in your TM RNG

reduce the pool by 1

done that on things like machamp

[torn arrow]

and then dynamic punch and rock slide are both good moves for machamp

as an example

[charred rapids]

So just stuff we already know

[torn arrow]

yes but condensed

[twilit sapphire]

why would i pin something already in the pins

[ashen oxide]

Think it’s worth building for UL?

[charred rapids]

Uhhhh is that a serious question?

If so, no

[ashen oxide]

Lmao no it’s literally rank 4095 it can’t get worse

[gusty estuary]

Dont know if permited here, but im looking mirror trading phantump and Pumkaboo! Plz DM

[glad bay]

Have to be within 100m to trade

[ornate basin]

Can someone help me i sent a Friend request someone and they accepted and i still have the challenge make a new friend

[neon turtle]

Can someone help me complete the advanced tcg challenge? I just need to trade venusaur, blastoise and charizard (will sent those out aswell)

[sleek bane]

Need to be close to 100m to trade.

[neon turtle]

Oh...

Thank you 🙂

[slow warren]

If you have two devices you can make an alt and trade with yourself to finish it

[torn arrow]

yo which psystrike mewtwo should I upgrade?

[odd glade]

When does the research breakthrough switches tomorrow?

[final tulip]

1 pm pdt

[odd glade]

thanks

it isn't the same hour for each time zone?

[final tulip]

no it’s just niantic time

[sullen peak]

How do y'all have all the mewtwos? I can't even get 1

[tropic reef]

Raids

[slow warren]

Ehat time does meltan event stop? 8pm?

[glad bay]

Oh crap I forgot to open my box today

[glad bay]

Yeah 8pm

[sullen peak]

Same 😭

[glad bay]

Never got my shiny

Oh well. I’m sure it will come around again.

[glossy spindle]

Purify or nah?

[dusty oracle]

Nah

Save that for Commday!

[faint ferry]

walking with stufful, had given it a poffin...

hearts for walking go up, no candy, no walked distance recorded on it

[glad rover]

Only need to walk and get 4 candies left for Clamperl to evolve. Hopefully I get Gorebyss my last Clamperl evolved into Huntail and need one for my dex

[dusty oracle]

The lack of clamperl spawns is annoying. 😦

[faint ferry]

i was just in this predicament recently... had 3 clamperls, 2 evolved into gorebyss, 3rd was was huntail luckily

hate random evos...

[glad rover]

Yeah can only really rely on rare candies and walking to get candy for them

[glad rover]

I have a third one as well, but I’m hoping that I won’t need to use it. Will find out if I will need to soon

Gorebyss is the only Hoenn Pokémon I need left for my dex, that isn’t a regional or unreleased. Still hoping Kecleon gets his day eventually

[faint ferry]

theyre withholding kecleon because its gonna be too OP

dont wanna trivialise raiding

[flint wind]

theyre probably contemplating whether to implement its ability or not

[faint ferry]

just make it genesect-lite

[flint wind]

theyll make monthly field research each kecleon type

[faint ferry]

18 months of kekleon

[stark narwhal]

I’m frustrated…I can’t get the game to let me spawn my buddy

don't purify it

[glossy spindle]

Ok ty

What’s community day do to it

[glossy spindle]

.

[dusty oracle]

It's on the 17th of June!

Use a Charged TM on the Battle Weekend on the 9/10th to remove frustration (You don't technically have to do this now, but it's as good a time as any)

And then evolve it on the 17th

[frozen olive]

how rare is shiny meltan

[final tulip]

impossible to get now

[glossy spindle]

Impossible?

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, it's turned off again.

[glad bay]

For the time being you are unable to get it @frozen olive

[glad rover]

Not sure if we have any German players at the Berlin Go Fest, but I’m curious how they implemented Sky Form Shaymin

[sleek bane]

They did it like they done with deoxys, made a new version.
Wish they had done it like they did hoopa, so u can just swap form.

[glad rover]

Interesting

[dusty oracle]

It's an entire second capture - using the same grassy walkway assets from Land Forme.

Still locked to Pokeball only.

[stark narwhal]

Well I figured out how Pansear was implemented lol

[rotund copper]

How so?

[stark narwhal]

It’s the encounter for finishing the Berlin - Molten Rocks habitat collection

[rotund copper]

Oh

[dark wadi]

Are the darkrai/cresselia raids joinable? Or rather they work kinda like the zweilous ones = you have to be in berlin?

[final tulip]

they are joinable remotely

[dark wadi]

Thanks!

[crisp relic]

UnheardMelody has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.

[ornate basin]

Can someone help me i sent a Friend request someone and they accepted and i still have the challenge make a new friend

[odd glade]

Pretty sure it's a bug, I've seen plenty of ppl complaining about it on fb

[ornate basin]

Ok

[slow warren]

For cresselia, is it worth doing a normal trade for a shiny one?
Or lucky for bragging? Fairly sure its a pretty bad PVE mon, but pretty good in pvp?

[final tulip]

depends

is the shiny on an alt

also yes cress is very good especially in UL

doesn’t get one shot by anything from full

[sharp lintel]

Tf

[charred rapids]

why the fuck did you steal their pizza rolls

that wasn't very epic :(

ok well maybe they're just having a bad day for a different reason unrelated to pizza rolls, i suppose that's also a possibility

[slow warren]

Cress is on an alt yeah

Best buds with the alt though, so has iv floor of 4 I think

[tropic reef]

5

[tropic reef]

Is skuntank good in pvp?

[tropic reef]

I would wait for a lucky trade

Because i doubt ur gonna get pvp ivs and it would suck for a shiny cress to be bad ivs

[slow warren]

fair enough ty

[final tulip]

spice pick

[slow warren]

Heya so I've been running
Wat gun/surf Lapras
Counter/Cross Chop/Night slash Primeape
Fire spin/shadow bone/bone club Marowak

In kanto cup any recommendations other than 2nd moving lapras? Dont want to throw too many resources into it since its 10 13 14

Hypnos been a bit annoying but marowak cna barely win over it

Is hex better than fire spin in this scenario?

[lucid frigate]

Yes hex is better for the hypno matchup but it also sacrifices matchups like a-slash

[slow warren]

I think I read it gives better energy gain, and it wont affect the other matchups too badly?

A-slash I kinda hard counter with primeape and smei with lapras

[lucid frigate]

It does have better energy gain

Id recommend fire blast instead of bone club

If you’re going the hex route

[slow warren]

Fair I'll swap his set around a bit for my battles today :D thanks

[vivid onyx]

can numel still be ditto?

[sleek bane]

Yes

[tidal temple]

Pic from earlier

But I'm excited kek

[final tulip]

@dark wadi any specific time you want to hit best friends?

[dark wadi]

Not really, we can do it now if you wish - i have some spare eggs to pop

Just lmk

[final tulip]

i have another friend that i can coordinate with so i’ll let you know a time then

[glad rover]

Yes my second Clamperl evolved into Gorebyss, that’s a relief. Also excited to see Pansear spawning globally and in raids temporarily in 2 days. Exciting for most since it’s a regional, except for people in Europe and Africa since they most likely already have a bunch of them

[rotund copper]

I had just used 47 rare candies on that Pansear from the timed research assuming I’d never see one for a while

[torn arrow]

why not go out on multiple walks?

and use the rare candy on other useful stuff

unless you've levelled up all of your good mons

I personally need another 8 mewtwo candy to get my psystrike mewtwo to level 30

[charred rapids]

hit level 31 yesterday while going to my local park for an hour trying to find a magmar to complete the collection challenge

gave up after not finding it and went home then the magmar spawned in my fucking house

[woeful grotto]

I feel bad for them
But I don't many people play this

[woeful grotto]

How I not making coins

More likely

Y are they not attacking

[tropic reef]

You only get coins once they die

And only 50

[glad bay]

Every 24 hours you can earn up to 50.

[pulsar thunder]

I also just put lower cp mons in gyms so they're easier to knockout

[fallow copper]

Tis be smart

[radiant vigil]

Tbh cp doesn't really matter, high cp will decay to a one hit kill with not much cp within 8 hours, but lower cp mons decay slower and might need the full 2-3 battles to take out

[pallid socket]

Should I evolve my shiny meltan or my meltan with good stats? (I already have the home melmetal)

[stark narwhal]

Okay - I’ve switched camera permissions of and on, deleted the app and redownloaded and still can’t get my buddy to spawn. What’s going on?

Nevermind it finally started working again.

[gusty estuary]

Anyone willing to trade a sandazzle or a female salandit in pogo? I have some shinies to spare

[sleek bane]

Need to be 100m apart to trade

[oblique ridge]

Trade distance is 100m

[charred rapids]

was sitting in the starbucks parking lot waiting for my mom to get her sandwich and I thought "wouldn't it be funny if a shiny just spawned"

and next thing I know

[odd glade]

🤔

[oblique ridge]

cospog?

[tropic reef]

Ya grubbin line is coming in the next event or smt

But i would love to see vivillon turtonator and cosmog

[oblique ridge]

oh no, oh no no no no no mimikyu meta

[rotund copper]

I recognize everyone except for the woman talking to Spark, who’s that?

Oh, and the guy behind the Turtonator

[slow warren]

What a deal

[oblique ridge]

Lmaoo

[glad rover]

So this long week long temporary research ends with a washing machine Rotom encounter. Will have to devote time to finish all the long tasks since I missed Rotom the last time it was available

[rotund copper]

Would be nice if it was lawn mower rotom like at Berlin go fest

[charred rapids]

Was it 2 potions and 5 pokeballs?

[tropic reef]

It was a fast tm and some berries i think

[charred rapids]

[rotund copper]

Unpopular Opinion; this weeks 1 coin box wasn’t bad

I’ll gladly take a free poffin

Sure it’s not nearly as good as the remote raid pass boxes, but it’s better than nothing

[tropic reef]

It was a worse free box tho

Wait u got a poffin?

I got a tm and some random berry

I think

Oh guess it was a poffin

Yeah poffins are cool

[charred rapids]

shame i don't have friends

(i can easily walk to all of these)

[charred rapids]

Get second account, get gud, duo them all ez

[charred rapids]

i have a second account but I'm broke as shit

anyway I think this part of the research might be bugged

How so? I managed it

[raw roost]

Which part of it?

[normal crystal]

Also had no problem doing it. You can't do the same species for the bottom one

And the snapshots you can do with your own Pokemon

[glad rover]

So for the battle with your buddy task for part 2, does it have to be a battle with someone I’m next to physically or would a battle in the go battle league be okay for that task?

[oblique ridge]

A raid can also work

You just need to give yoiur buddy berries and take it in a raid

[dark wadi]

I thought zapdos was to appear on friday?

[sleek bane]

@final tulip do a raid later to get that bestfriend xp? 🙂

[final tulip]

sure

@dark wadi you want to go bf today as well?

[dark wadi]

Sure! You host a common raid for us both?

[sleek bane]

I got a zapdos in 30min if u guys wanna do that for bestfriend thing @dark wadi @final tulip

[final tulip]

yeah that works for me

[dark wadi]

I’ll be in a meeting, better for me in say 3 hours ( )

[final tulip]

either way works i’ll be free for the rest of the day

[sleek bane]

Can do it after 3 hours then so its just 1 egg 🙂

[final tulip]

zen what tz are you in?

[sleek bane]

Cest

Currently 14:47

[final tulip]

ok i’m in gmt+4.5 rn so it’s better if you host for us

[sleek bane]

Japp. Will save my gift-hunt for whenever he is done at meeting and try find a fun raid. Just done traveling for abit so bck in dead-town 😅

[dark wadi]

I might have some raids in the morning (i’m cest too) - i’ll host np @final tulip @sleek bane

[final tulip]

sounds good just ping me whenever

[sleek bane]

@final tulip @dark wadi will s unown do?

[final tulip]

id rather do zapdos

[glad rover]

Is the screenshot portion of the research bugged? I’ve taken screenshots of 3 different normal types Pokémon and it only counted towards the first task of the research

Found a workaround, just took a picture of a normal type I already had since for some reason that wasn’t working with wild encounter Pokémon

[sleek bane]

When it says wild in the quest, then do the wild ones.
If it only say snapshot it means the one u have in inventory.

[glad rover]

Already finished off part 3, slowly progressing with part 4 since I need to go to stops and a gym

[charred rapids]

new update lookin fire

[ashen condor]

I have a stupid question. Is there any place I can put my event pokemon and not get rid of them for candies

[rotund copper]

Nope

I mean you can trade them to an alt account, but you’ll never get them back on your main

[ashen condor]

Ugh, I just wanna transfer the hundred million special event Pikachus I have thank you for the answer! Appreciate it big time

[tropic reef]

I just wasted 550 pokecoins on an outfit set

It looked too good to miss out on

[charred rapids]

Anyone here after exclusive stickers on postcards? Got some from tcg

[final tulip]

send me a gift please

[dark wadi]

That set was like

Opened mewtwo and holo dragonite in the first 4 packs - made my day

[dire scaffold]

That’s demonic bro💀

[charred rapids]

there were like a hundred more💀

[twilit sapphire]

[charred rapids]

You wanna gift with tcg sticker there

[twilit sapphire]

yes

[charred rapids]

Sent

[sly field]

Looking for people interested in a 5 ⭐ Zapdos Raid...

[glossy spindle]

What r u meant to do with the charmander

[faint ferry]

wym?

[glossy spindle]

Should I evolve it, power it up,save for an event, or will I maybe need it for a later quest (the four star one)

[faint ferry]

its just a charmander but with a hat, i dont think theres any quest that requires it

[glossy spindle]

K ty

[tropic reef]

Dafuq

[glad rover]

Onto part 4 of the special timed research, need to just do the gym battles and pokéstop spin tasks and the rest should be easy. Have two remote raid passes for the part 5’s raid tasks

[fossil basin]

i just need to wait for a 1 star raid near where i am and solo

[glad rover]

Since it was really specific with the screenshot stuff, for the gift tasks on part 5 can I just send 5 gift with stickers each time and have that count for both tasks?

[final tulip]

yea

[oblique ridge]

Are these good stats for latias? I know i should change its moves for raids, but was wondering about comp

It has drsgon breath and frustration

[faint ferry]

theyre great stats, but shadow latias is still just alright for raiding

down below shadow gardevoir for psychic and regular dragonite for dragon

[oblique ridge]

Oh alr, thanks!

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[faint ferry]

i hate catching zapdos so much

[split rose]

when are shiny odds boosted?

[tropic reef]

For what

[split rose]

in pogo

I should of just goggles ngl

The Standard Shiny rate is 1 in 500
For Legendary and Mythical Raids is 1 in 20
Community Day Shiny rates are 1 in 25
Permaboosted Shiny rate is 1 in 64, which is for Aerodactyl, Alolan Grimer, Alolan Marowak, Alolan Sandshrew, Alolan Vulpix, Chansey, Klink, Lapras, Nincada, Onix, Pineco, Riolu, Skarmory, Spinda, Spiritomb and Timburr
Rare species have a less permanent shiny rate boost of 1 in 125

[tropic reef]

Ya for what mon

[dusty oracle]

Read the pins.

Perma is more than just those.

[split rose]

specifically Ledyba but I got my answer

[split rose]

I can't read

[ornate basin]

To wich one should i evolve it?

[torn arrow]

how good is shadow latios in raids?

[final tulip]

i don’t think it ranks too high

[faint ferry]

probably gardevoir

[ornate basin]

Ok thanks

Piter has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[faint ferry]

still pretty strong

[torn arrow]

wait how did you get shadow lugia today?

giovanni gives out shadow latios now

[sleek quarry]

Masterwork research from Johto tour

[outer tree]

Ok I have i quick question so I have 2 super rocket radars saved up plus slight schemes from what I’m hearing I should just fight Giovanni and catch shadow latios?

I was just going to save them but I heard u can’t stack them

[pulsar thunder]

I have three rn and waiting on shadow mewtwo lol

[outer tree]

Yeah see I was planning on saving them too I have two but I heard you can’t stack the new researches.

I might just save em idk

[dusty oracle]

You can stack them, but only when they give you one outside of the main storyline researches.

So from Timed Researches, Go Fests etc.

Considering it replenishes, you may as well just beat Silent Schemes, get Shadow Latios, and then "get your radar back" from the new research.

[twilit sapphire]

Hope you get some nice pulls aimeeeeeee

We pulled a shiny

[rotund copper]

I wonder why they called them Radiants

[twilit sapphire]

And of course the pika

[charred rapids]

I really like how they made the ditto cards in this set

[charred rapids]

Anyone willing to trade on Pokémon go ?

[twilit sapphire]

You can only trade with people close to hoy, we suggest you find your local go group and try luck there

[charred rapids]

Thanks !

[twilit sapphire]

No worries hope you find someone

[normal crystal]

Gimme

[safe nymph]

What on earth

[ashen gull]

what a cute pokemon!

[outer tree]

Lol wtf.

[outer tree]

Did my Giovanni battle last night ivs kinda bad is it even worth powering up?

[oblique ridge]

ngl this makes me wanna get some

[faint ferry]

possibly for (non master) pvp? youd have to find out whether latios is actually any good for pvp though
in terms of raiding, shadow latios should be about equal to regular rayquaza, maybe a bit better. so pretty good but maybe not worth the cost - candy for shadow dragonite and salamence is much easier to come by and theyre stronger as well

[outer tree]

Thanks for the info I appreciate it so I’ll just get a good shadow dragonite or salamence

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[outer tree]

That’s the best shadow bagon I have.

[faint ferry]

pretty good, i have one with i think IVs reverse of that

[outer tree]

Sorry for all the questions is this worth powering up?

[lucid frigate]

Nah latios isn’t good in pvp

Its moveset is pretty good but like with many mons, its stats are the problem

[faint ferry]

if you can spare the stardust, the only better dragon (current and future) attackers are all megas

[faint ferry]

yeah, thats about what i figured, high attack = bad for capped pvp

[lucid frigate]

Not always, but in this case yes cause it generally has high stats

[outer tree]

Cool thanks for the feedback now I’m wondering if I should wait to teach it outrage or just go with Draco meteor.

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[faint ferry]

even with draco meteor, it only loses ground to 1 more mega (latios) overall. outrage is better, but draco meteor is still very strong

only caveat would be that maybe you waste attack energy by it dying while charging up draco meteor

[flint wind]

i just got a 15/11/10 shiny shadow charmander? is charizard good for raids, thinking of evolving and powering up if he is (and not megas)

[faint ferry]

best non legendary/mega

[flint wind]

oooh did not know its that good, better evolve it asap!

[faint ferry]

the community day starter moves are very strong

[flint wind]

mhm theyre monsters, this and my level 40 mega charizard y should melt grass ice and steel types

[outer tree]

Sad since I’m newish I missed out on it

[faint ferry]

there are events for the starter legacy moves more often than most... like over the weekend evolving any of them would give them their legacy moves

[glad rover]

Feels nice to have a Rotom now since I missed it the last time it was around

[slow warren]

If its still Sunday for you, can evolve a charizard right now to get blast burn and dragon breath

[flint wind]

if in today its still there it should

[outer tree]

Thanks just did it now. @slow warren

MY DAILY SPAWN IS SHINY

I forgot to check it until now

Holy shit bro

[charred rapids]

Ok

[dire scaffold]

Sorry bout that freak out

I’m just a very happy lad

[fossil basin]

i plan to head out to comday but it seems to rain

i mightcancel it...

[dusty oracle]

Err. It still has a week to change.

Weather forecasts are notoriously fickle.

[outer tree]

Caught this guy yesterday I just need hydro cannon and I’m good.

[unique hazel]

Is a 98% shadow squirtle any good?

[flint wind]

very, is it still the event rn in your area?

if so purify it (for the hundo that can mega, remove return, then hydro cannon if the event is still on)

otherwise id say wait to evolve until the next event where it can learn hydro cannon

[unique hazel]

I removed frustration and evolved it during the event. I have not purified it

[flint wind]

oh then do not purify it, its still a good water attacker

[outer tree]

Ok so I have a question regarding these two zards and what’s the best approach my first one doesn’t have blast burn but has overheat and fire blast level 35 but I second zard has blast burn should I stop investing in my current one and just power up the one with blast burn?

[faint ferry]

theyre both good, overheat isnt a bad move

the second one would definitely be stronger

[faint ferry]

difference between blast burn and overheat is significant, but its still a top fire attacker with overheat

regular charizard is significantly lower on the scale

regardless of which move it has

[outer tree]

Oh cool I see now yeah mine is third on the chart

Hmm

[faint ferry]

really just comes down to how much stardust youre willing to spend currently

[outer tree]

Ok what I’ll do is I’ll just keep my current zard at level 35 he also is level 2 in mega evolution. I’ll save up for when a raid boss is weak to fire and start powering up and mega my second one

Thanks again you’re great help! @faint ferry

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to WobblyBits_X.

[faint ferry]

having 2 megas is good as well to get more of those free uses

[outer tree]

True

[tropic reef]

Just wait until you are able to get a charge etm

Then tm on blast burn

The first one has a higher level ivs and has both of the megas

It would be a better use of resources to wait for an etm

[outer tree]

Thanks for feedback as well! @tropic reef

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to RB12Gaming.

[outer tree]

Yeah that sounds better than using up my resources I’ll just elite tm it.

[charred rapids]

was gonna go for a walk yesterday to find giovanni and get shadow latios but he came right to me in a balloon as i was getting ready to leave

[outer tree]

Oh wow

Did u catch latios yet? If so how were the ivs?

[charred rapids]

and i got latias like not even a week ago because i was having trouble with the go rocket quest line from what i think was march

[charred rapids]

hold up

[outer tree]

Oh ok you got better stats than mine

Well I guess attack wise

[oblique ridge]

Question, how do you get elite tms? I dont have any quests for it and im out of the ones i had

Sudo

[flint wind]

go battle league, i think end of season and reaching rank 20

[oblique ridge]

Thats not bad then, im at rank 16

[tropic reef]

Is gallade any good in pve?

Or pvp

[charred rapids]

Pvp ultra league, pretty good with counter/leaf blade/close combat

But it’s fairly squishy so shields might need to be used to keep it going, you get a close combat off though on something with mo shields though it’s pretty nice.

[flint wind]

i thought it didnt have counter, that it runs confusion

[tropic reef]

Im candy broke and im saving the candy for if i get a shiny ralts so what single charge move should i use

[flint wind]

for pve or pve?

[tropic reef]

Pvp

[flint wind]

what league?

[tropic reef]

Ultra

[tropic reef]

Ya it doesnt

It has low kick confusion and charm

[flint wind]

shadow ball wins the most matchups

[tropic reef]

Ok

I just used 5 tms with no shadow ball

[charred rapids]

Probably is confusion, I don’t do pvp often, I do know it’s good though

That’s because gallade doesn’t learn shadow ball, if you’re only doing a single move gallade which kinda hurts it, leaf blade probably since it’s spammy and doesn’t debuff ya, you could also try and bait

[flint wind]

oh i just did a dum, looked at garde instead of gallade, 100% leaf blade

[high kernel]

got shafted hard by rng, got Arlo like 6 times in a row when all I needed was Cliff to complete the quest and move on to Giovanni. I was going to let it go but then I realized once I caught Latios today that meant I couldn't tm frustration off anymore

[tropic reef]

Yey thats what it ended on

[charred rapids]

There will always be another event to tm frustration off, the shadow lati’s aren’t good anyways

[high kernel]

True, just felt weird for me to get Arlo spammed out like that

[charred rapids]

Why am I just finding out that we get a deino makeup event in Asia pacific

[oblique ridge]

Br

[faint ferry]

really wish i could search by level and buddy distance...

[normal crystal]

Excited for an extra Deino comm day again

[charred rapids]

I didn’t get too many shiny ones so yeah I’m okay with it, my ball count gonna suffer with starly being the very next day

[rotund copper]

What’s this extra deino comm day?

[normal crystal]

Starly is meh to me sooooo 😆

[normal crystal]

I only got like 3 shiny Deino sadge

[rotund copper]

Ah, I see. Ty

What was the issue? Not boosted?

[normal crystal]

No idea, I didn't get the issue I think

Or I did and didn't notice haha

[rotund copper]

[normal crystal]

But I'll take the make up day 😆

[rotund copper]

Hopefully we get some issues over here on the east coast of America this comm day

I’m gonna be on a cruise so I probably won’t have internet

[normal crystal]

But a cruise

[rotund copper]

I mean I’ll take a cruise over a shiny starly any day

But still

[charred rapids]

Starly will come back in December most likely, or have em traded, sure there will be players more then willing to give em away

[final tulip]

i think it was that there were a lot more zweilous spawning near lures than expected

[charred rapids]

Chances at more XL’s should be delicious

[odd glade]

When You hatch 2 Salandit female in the same time & with the same IV 😳

If the size was the same aswell I would think something is wrong with the game

[dusty oracle]

Hiya Kit, sorry to bother you; could you confirm if Zweillous, Binacle or Doduo raids are mentioned on the notif? It seems to be a targetted post, unavailable outside of the regions, (or at least, I've checked and cannae see it) but would quite like to know for legality purposes.

[charred rapids]

It has no mention of raids.

[normal crystal]

Ping incase you didnt see, as Devito has said above, no mention of raids

[stark narwhal]

Just did some remote raiding to finish the limited research!

[ashen gull]

[faint ferry]

[tropic reef]

Same thing happened for my kyogre raids

The first 2 had the exact same ivs

[charred rapids]

going to nyc next year, hyped to play with the community there. i've heard it's still popping

[outer tree]

Hey peeps so I have another question so my Hariyama has frustration removed and is powered up a bit I just caught the machop recently it has frustration but I can buy a second Charged move so my question is should I just stick with Haryiyama for now? Or power up/evolve machop or just save the dust?

[flint wind]

hariyama is actually quite a decent fighting attacker, give it dynamic punch and its decent

[outer tree]

Yup I looked up what was the best moveset for pve I have counter+dynamic punch

[flint wind]

actually better than lucario in certain situations, such as ttar raids,

#2 attacker there, only behind shadow machamp

[outer tree]

Nice so I lucked out getting a good iv one.

[glad bay]

Can Metagross or Tyranitar be shiny from raids?

[flint wind]

not yet. once they have their megas released they will be able to

[glad bay]

hey guys question, is there a Pogo trading chat?

You need to be within 100 (10?) meters of someone to trade, so no

Nope, unfortunately only if you’re close enough

No global trading

[rotund copper]

For what? PVP or PVE?

[faint ferry]

more than i have at home smh

[lucid frigate]

Politoed, although its fallen off a lot since weather ball got nerfed

[slow warren]

Wb was nerfed? How so?

[normal crystal]

Better Deino day than the last one 😂
And we were driving for the first hour of it, so no catches

I thought cellphone activity helped spawns and there’s people everywhere. Unless that’s a myth, which is entirely possible because I don’t remember where I heard or read that

Should I buy the com day box for the elite fast tm for my Tyranitar? He knows bite and stone edge.

Meh. It's your choice. Regular TTar isn't bleeding edge currently; Mega will make it better. You can get a free one for PVPing.

I think they meant that u get a free elite fast tm from pvping. @slow warren

[slow warren]

oh lol

[final tulip]

you'll get it in about 6 weeks though

[dusty oracle]

Better than the rip off that is the CommDay box.

[tropic reef]

Wait you can???

A free ttar?

[dusty oracle]

Free ETM.

A free TTar isn't really anything to write home about.

[tropic reef]

It is to me

I need candy

Specifically like 10 to 40 max mine which happens to be exactly how much a full evo mon gives u

[oblique ridge]

yessss rank 18 on gbl

[lucid frigate]

Yes you do get 2 free elite tms but the fast tm isn’t earned until the end of the season which would be september

[outer tree]

Hey guys I’m trying to get into pvp I was going to try great league is this a good team to invest startdust in and is it a decent pvp team?

[lucid frigate]

Marshtomp is ok but its pretty much just inferior to swampert, alolan graveler isn’t too great outside of limited cups, and shadow gardevoir is also not super relevant

If its a decent pvp team you want, then i think that can suffice

[outer tree]

Damn it! Those were my top pvp iv mons

I might have some more.. have to check

[lucid frigate]

Don’t be too concerned about ivs

Species, movesets, and team comp all take more priority

Id recommend pairing it up with a scrafty and galarian stunfisk too

Id assume you have at least a few from hatching eggs

[outer tree]

Yes I have a few

So don’t worry too much about the ivs for now? Because this is what I got.

[rotund copper]

Arlo didn’t give me my charmander >:(

[fossil basin]

[final tulip]

id submit a ticket

[rotund copper]

Just did

[final tulip]

that’s fine i use a 12/10/10 stunfisk and it works very well

it wins cmp ties over most other stunfisks so that’s good if you’re in the mirror

[slow warren]

Damn really I've been holding off building Fisk since I only have egg ones

[fossil basin]

That 1 starly is looking sus

[oblique ridge]

Wait what time is comm day from?

11-2 right?

[final tulip]

yes

[normal crystal]

Starlys still everywhere after 2

[fossil basin]

must be the extra stuff. from staravia eggs etc.

[normal crystal]

That's for Starly to appear around the defeated Raid gym

They're everywhere

[lucid frigate]

Yes that’ll work perfectly fine, mine are similar ivs and ive had plenty of success in higher ranks

Theres an imposter among us

[light dune]

With the previous two games having taken place in Sinnoh, we were thoroughly sick of having to look at Starly. Verily, Niantic did say "Here, my child. Have a buttload of the bastards." And the avian avalanche was indeed such. The Walmart parking lot hath delivered a bounty on this day. Not only in plagued birds that sparkle in the summer haze, but also a bonus of double candy from which thine Meltan Box may feast.

[glad bay]

Oh the double candy would have been smart to use for meltan! Doh 😖

[fading harbor]

[glad bay]

Just encountered a wild clauncher. That was new to me.

[lucid frigate]

You must be new to the gbl experience then

[fading harbor]

What bird is the starly line based on falcons or hawks cause that will depend on the name I give mine

[glad rover]

There is a kind of bird called the starling, from their names maybe based off of them. Pokémon wikis typically have the origins of where a few Pokémon’s names come from

[flint wind]

is that a heracross? if so, thats one way to get a regional

[rotund copper]

Ah I’ve got some from Florida back in 2017(18?), don’t think there’s any new regionals here for me

[fading harbor]

Is that the odds that all comunity days are like the starly day

It's weird that regional forms appear both under the region they were discovered in as well as the region as the original form was, when using those search features

[fading harbor]

I love how they are starting with hisui forms because hisuian zoroark is awesome but they haven’t even added all of the galar forms yet at least I think they haven’t I might be wrong correct me if I am

[dusty oracle]

They are yet to release G. Corsola.

[rotund copper]

I am in immeasurable pain right now

I just left that island

[flint wind]

[fading harbor]

Ok

[slow warren]

Obstruct seems decent for pvp I'd assume? Since obsta gets counter anyway?

[snow axle]

Oooh heck yeah, Obstagoon is my favorite Pokémon so I’m very happy about this

[fading harbor]

I love obstagoon but Pokémon go seems to want us to hate three stage evolutuons cause of the whole candy evo thing

I hope the community day has extra catch candies

[glad bay]

So Obstagoon only exists in the galarian line?

A lot of the generations of Pokémon are still foreign to me, but the shiny g. zigzagoon line looks really awesome

[twilit sapphire]

i love ziggy

[twilit sapphire]

yes, only for the galarian

[glad bay]

Thanks @twilit sapphire!

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to Aimee.

[rotund copper]

I feel like there’s a Shrine down there, that or a Korok seed

[narrow hatch]

I'm being attacked by stars

[flint wind]

and being blessed by stardust

[narrow hatch]

Yis

[glad bay]

Oh no was Staryu today!?

[rotund copper]

Yup

I couldn’t go so my dad tried to get me one for my shiny Kanto dex.

No shiny staryu, but the Barboach he accidentally tapped was shiny

[glad bay]

Staryu and Machop were the only two I was looking forward to. Completely forgot 😩

[slow warren]

Ayo managed to snag myself 350k dust

Got lucky with a weather boost

[charred rapids]

W

day 200 something of waiting for fennekin comm day

[ivory halo]

Me waiting for litwick comm day:

[narrow hatch]

I want gastly :(

[final tulip]

it hasn't been a featured event spawn for quite some time now

it is a fairly common spawn at night though

[glad bay]

I almost never get ghost spawns

[torn arrow]

i deadass forgor about spotlight hour because of the heat

[stark narwhal]

All I get are Shupper

Shuppet

[tight pilot]

probably wont get Gastly again seeing as we had it in 2020 comday, could potentially see it with a new move tho when they feature gmax gengar or something

[reef hornet]

I'm stuck on that special research where you have to take a snapshot of Landorus. How am I supposed to find him? Haven't seen a single raid with him in it

[flint wind]

lando isnt currently in raids, you have to wait until it appears again

[reef hornet]

Ugh, that's a little annoying

[tight pilot]

That quest was released when Lando (and other two genies) were in raids for 2+months (like a year and a half ago lol)

[rotund copper]

Samosa you’re killing me here

If you ever happen to stop by New York I can slide a shiny Gastly

[narrow hatch]

aA

;----; my boi

[woeful grotto]

How my luck so good but not on my mainline games

How I can't get the shiny reshiram 1/25 but Go Pokemon full ods

[rotund copper]

Oooh super jealous of that Hitmonlee, it’s one of the last ones I need for my Kanto shiny dex

[woeful grotto]

First one btw

And is a shiny

[spark mountain]

https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/hisuian-discoveries/

[flint wind]

ofc theres paras

[oblique ridge]

rip no shiny rowlet

[twilit sapphire]

growlithe my beloved

[rotund copper]

7km eggs are lame during the event

[stark narwhal]

So we getting Sneasler And Overqwil?

[rotund copper]

I doubt it

Probably will be the same as Voltorb’s release

[dusty oracle]

Unlock raid day is almost certainly H!Brav.

Plus the H!Brav sticker.

[rotund copper]

Oh good, I saved a shiny rufflet from GO Fest for Hbraviary

[dusty oracle]

Probably won't be able to evolve it.

Offchance you might.

[rotund copper]

…fuck

[dusty oracle]

But both precedents for evolving into regional formes have had special events long after release.

[rotund copper]

Only took them like 4 years to give A-Exeggutor and A-Marowak an event

[oblique ridge]

Why does that look like yveltal lmao

[torn arrow]

kinda looks like talonflame imo

[split rose]

can you evolve pikachu to a raichu?

[glad rover]

Not the Alolan version, Alolan regional evolutions for Pokémon where the pre-evolved form is the normal Pokémon are raid only. Raichu, Marowak, Exeggcutor and Galarian Weezing for some examples, Marowak and Exeggcutor have had some chances to be found in the wild and research, not sure about the other two

It’s been a real long time since I’ve seen a Galarian Weezing

[split rose]

thx

[glad rover]

Assume it’ll be the same for the Hisuian Pokémon that are like that, Kleavor, Braviary, Lilligant, Sligoo and Goodra

[split rose]

there was an event youncoudl evolve cubone to A-marowak right?

[glad rover]

Not that I know of, Alolan Marowak has been in raids and part of the Halloween research from last year had it as a reward

[glad bay]

There was just recently an event to get Alolan Marowak through evolution

[split rose]

yeah that's what I thought

[glad rover]

Must’ve missed that then but it’s passed so right now Cubone can only evolve into Kanto Marowak

[split rose]

I'm wondering because I have a shiny pikachu and trying to see if theres a chance I can evo it to a-raichu

[glad rover]

I’d just hunt a-raichu in raids when it’s next in them, probably better odds

[glad bay]

Not unless they have an event where evolving Pikachu gives you A-Raichu

[split rose]

ya my thoughts exactly

[tidal temple]

Idk if anyone else is gonna be at Go Fest Seattle on Sunday, but if so, see ya there!

[tidal temple]

It was at the end of last season, it's how this was possible

Shiny shadow was also possible

Same for Alolan Exeggutor

[near yarrow]

Go fest Seattle gang

[outer tree]

lol are they waiting in a line to get captured?

[rotund copper]

They’re waiting for the crosswalk

[outer tree]

Lol true. @rotund copper

[tidal temple]

@near yarrow

[near yarrow]

@tidal temple

[tidal temple]

[unique hazel]

So where I live there is a gym, and next to the gym lives a mystic player. That player knocks my pokemon out of the gym whenever he can, even though he has gotten his daily coins and I haven't. Would I be a bad person if I started doing the same?

[torn arrow]

no

or knock him out irl and say "oops I thought you were a mon in the gym"

[tidal temple]

Can confirm, works

I recommend that

For legal reasons this is a joke

[stark narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/cops-police-sirens-catching-crminals-what-you-gonna-do-gif-22472645

[stark narwhal]

Why does every candy I catch look like swablu candy

[cedar pelican]

Galarian zigzagoon in the next cd?

Might actually do this one its shiny is fun

[unique hazel]

Update on the gym situation, the person seems not to want me in the gym even with his maxed daily coins

Operation Keep Mystic Out of the Gym is a go

I shall make his supplies run dry if I must

[unique hazel]

Now a kid from team instinct have joined in, not sure what to do now

[ornate basin]

You can defeat the gym and then swt a pokemon in the gym after they try to defeat the gym you can feed goldenrazzberrys to your pokemon so he doesnt get defeated.

[unique hazel]

I have no berries left

But i have a LOT of healing items

[rotund copper]

Wait for a raid egg to appear

Right before the raid egg hatches, defeat the gym and put a Pokémon in

That way they’ll have to wait for the raid to end to knock your pokemon out

[unique hazel]

Both me and the mystic guy is already using that tactic, no eggs in sight now though

[rotund copper]

Oh

[flint wind]

maybe leave the gym blank for a few mins after defeating it, like maybe 5 mins before raid egg? how long do u have priority?

[unique hazel]

and my fight is only with the mystic guy, not the instinct kid

[rotund copper]

Not very long afaik, like ~30 seconds from personal experience

[unique hazel]

Things seems to have cooled down for now

[flint wind]

its 10 mins for the kicked out team, only 30 secs for the other teams

[rotund copper]

Ohhhh

[flint wind]

so ig that could work as long as no one else is bugging you, kick em out 10 mins before raid egg, leave it blank until around 10 secs before

[unique hazel]

sigh Mystics back

[flint wind]

oof, i think you just have to wait, is this a public area or a battle with a spoofer?

[unique hazel]

Public football field but i see no one outside so i think they live in the house next to it

[stark narwhal]

That’s so annoying when the other team immediately steals

There’s no fun in that honestly

[flint wind]

are you certain they have their coins yet? if not maybe wait till later and they might not care

if they already did then you can just annoy them- if youre gonna constantly be there just dont take the gym ever

[unique hazel]

A chansey spawned... how fitting

[unique hazel]

Their pokemon had been there for over a day, i checked

Its a 1 minute walk from my house anyways so 2 can play that game

[rotund copper]

Set up camp in the football field

[unique hazel]

I could, but im not hatching any eggs that way

[torn arrow]

do shuttle runs

or well shuttle walks

so the game actually registers the distance covered

[unique hazel]

Well, at least I can work on my gym battle medal

earned 32 coins so far, but I could have had all 50 by now ;-;

[reef hornet]

Ayy next community day is Galarian Zigzagoon

[oblique ridge]

Is there any point in buying tomorrows ticket?

[stark narwhal]

Yoooooooo

[twilit sapphire]

birbs

the fuck is that catch rate lol

[outer tree]

Yeah you’re right wtf @twilit sapphire

[oblique ridge]

Whaaaat?

[fossil basin]

Im somewhat excited https://twitter.com/leekduck/status/1549856560628830210?s=21&t=B6jQMpEZhkPFgXT-1fAhSg

[final tulip]

i feel like the catch/flee rate might be a reference to how the birds are roamers and they might be implemented how the beasts were during the johto tour

[fossil basin]

Flee rate somehow worse then wimpod

[glad bay]

Is Dialga worth going for?

Seems to be a huge amount of people in line for it on pokegenie

[fossil basin]

I honestly dont know. I did do a single raid for it and got it. I dont reallwant to go for shiny dialga. Thats my opinion on the matter

[outer tree]

Yeah I want to know as well and see if I should raid it for a raid attacker

Might do some research

[normal crystal]

@charred rapids thank you for the invite, but I'm too poor for passes 🥲

[crisp relic]

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

[faint ferry]

its only available in a few regions yet, wait till tomorrow when itll be released globally to try use pokegenie

[normal crystal]

I refuse to pay the inflation as well 🤣

[final tulip]

yes

very much worth it

it’s good in master league and doubles as a good steel and dragon type attacker that isn’t weak to dragon

[outer tree]

Nice I’ll definitely try for a high iv one and shiny

[tepid wraith]

Anyone going to Seattle that wouldn't mind sending some raid invites for the exclusive legends?

[fossil basin]

dont ask for raids.

[tepid wraith]

When I wrote that I didn't realize I was. I was trying to preemptively have someone added prior to the start. Rereading it I see how I failed, and apologize. I hadn't thought about phrasing at all.

[unique hazel]

Neat, just got a 15/15/14 Aron

[stark narwhal]

Why is my candy glitched? This was a shuppet
