I did. I figured I'd be gambling if I tried to order it from anywhere but the official site.

I’ve seen too many videos of people getting the wrong one because they were desperate for it. I waited exactly a week because UK to Hawaii takes a little more time than usual deliveries.

Actually I'm an imposter (for now) - I'm still basking in the hive of Pogo activity that is Cambridge; moving to Leam at the end of the month. I'm already on the Discord but yeah, seems a bit dead compared to the scene over here :(

Are you able to turn off iPhone location settings? With Android I can head to the park, walk around and catch everything, then as I'm heading home I'll turn off locations once my trainer is at the sweet spot of 2 gyms and 2 stops. As I'm driving home or to work, I get up to an hour's worth of go-tcha spins.

With this fighting event it's been nuts, started at 1200/1500 and had to start deleting revives and potions at the half hour mark.

This is normal and fine. There's a small trick to getting this to work. Disconnect and reconnect the go+ to reset the connection timeout. Position yourself on top of a cluster of stops or gyms. Wait until your go+ or whatever is highlighting one of them, then kill location. You should end up locked in place with the GPS signal not found warning, but the go+ will keep highlighting and allowing spins every 5 minutes until the hour timeout hits the go+ connection.

I wonder if raids lasting longer into the night is a thing of the past. Less and less people are willing to raid at the end of the day after I'm off work because I think everyone's trying to pile in on the hot 3-5pm window. If raids could extend their spawns by even an hour when summer is officially here, I'd appreciate it greatly.

People are just bored of Lati@s probably, and we have another month+ to look forward to when they swap regions. They aren't particularly exciting designs and don't fill in any attacker role like a lot of the other legendaries did.

Yeah I realized that too. I'm just a little anxious right now because the fighting event means double exp at raids and I'm missing out when no one wants to do the last raids of the day.

I'm also not looking forward to the titans because I'm afraid they're just going to contribute to the amount of high defense/low attack mons that get recommended in people's raid teams. The concept of using better attackers to end the raid earlier is already too much to explain to more casual players. Even with preset teams being a mechanic, asking people to change their teams is probably too much of a chore for people at raids.

latios is going to be the first legendary my wife can't get because the lack of interest in it specifically+less raids due to no map had made it unfeasible to get in groups in the burbs for l5 raids. before there were enough going to jump in whenever, but not anymore

So how do you avoid the soft ban, and how long am I banned for?

Edit: figured it out. guess I shouldn't do this, drive home, and expect to hit my usual stops when I get there. It does work though....

Yeah, once the go+ connection times out I like to kill the game for 5 minutes or so before reopening it if I've traveled beyond whatever's visible from my actual location. Forgot to mention that.

Is it possible for a nest to either disappear completely, or spawn trash Pokemon? I walked by the nearby park stop yesterday, which used to be a Corphish nest (before the water event started). After the migration, there's only Rattata. :(

Or if you are grinding XP, they are great. Commons usually evolve at 25 candies or less, so the more you have, the more you can evolve. Which means more XP. I used to pray for common spawn nests. Gimme all the pidgeys!!!

Have you tried formatting it? I had huge issues with my Nexus 6 (not 6P, just vanilla 6) formatted it and everything has been lovely so I can continue to hold out for the Pixel 3.

Granted, if you're due for an upgrade anyway that won't help, but if the sole reason you're looking to upgrade is poo poo Pogo performance like I was, try that.

yeah, just got one . huge upgrade from my Droid turbo, despite having the same amount of ram. haven't used it in raids yet because of carrier fuckery but just on wifi at home it's noticeable better. doesn't freeze loading the dex or stuff like that

Sometimes a nest doesn't have any of the nest pokemon spawned, especially when it is a small nest

There was just a migration, so all the nests changed. The event spawns have everything screwed up as well.

Yeah, I knew about the migration, which is why I'm checking out the nearby nests. I went to another park with nests and found Shuppet there (was previously Spoink), and the event spawns didn't seem to be affecting them.

I finally hit mine today too, random Zigzagoon at Olive Garden while my wife was finishing her coffee. I almost fell out of my chair got him in one throw.

Now I just have to catch 8 more ghosts in an area that rarely spawns them even when there's no event overriding normal spawns
