Is anyone else not getting progress towards friend progression? My roommate, who I added the day this came out, still says "If you keep playing together for 5 more days, you can become great friends!" We've exchanged gifts every day, taken down a few gyms together, traded, and done lots of game-friend stuff, but it's been stuck at five days. My other two friends on here who I added the day after are both stuck at 6 days each as well.

Yes its only a visual bug, it happens when one of you keeps sending gifts first. The person who opens them first gets the friendship increase while the sender bugs out. If you do it the other way for a day you also get back to the right amount.

Thanks to CoX, my stairs will be protected forever!
I finally got my last ghost this morning :woop: Now on to 10 raids which hopefully won't take 2 months like the last step. Hatched 4 eggs this morning too so hopefully today's gifts will bring some sweet Alolan eggs. I even have a blue Persian now. I sent out gifts to who I could but the list makes it hard to tell who I've hit already so I'm just working down and trying not to miss anyone. It's been a good day.

The jurys still out on whether this is correct or not. If one person always gives and the other always opens, friendship always updates for that person. When a new friendship level is reached, it updates for both.

If you alternate days for being the first to open a gift, you both sync friendships, but seem to not gain friend xp every day.

We'll see what happens when people should hit Great Friend level, but it may not be entirely visual.

You don't actually need to win the raid. When I was doing mine, right around when it first came out, I found a Snorlax raid happening and just kept throwing lovely mons at it while not bothering to actually battle it, because what was the point. There was actually one other person doing the same thing with me, we both sat there and lost to Snorlax probably five times.

I finally got an Alolan vulpix after hatching about ten alolan eggs, and I have like 47 Vulpix candy now.

You can't get credit for the same raid multiple times anymore, so 10 days without premium raid passes. Credit is given as soon as you enter the lobby and spend your pass though so it doesn't matter if you can't beat the raid if you just want your day's credit.

That’s just one of the reward encounters, along with ditto, Pikachu, and some others. They haven’t revealed who the 7 day reward quest will be yet.

I’m dumb, breakthrough is Body Slam Snorlax. That’s a pisser :(

I looked through my collection and I have three Body Slam Snorlax but they're lower CP, I kept them because of the legacy move. So maybe I'll get a usable one from this. I was still hoping for Raikou though.

Body Slam Snorlax used to be THE best defender in the game before everyone had 6 perfect Machamps and Blissey didn't exist. Now defending gyms has become less about movesets and more about berries so :shrug:

Yeah I've got a gym in walking range and I'm planning to just throw lovely mons at it twice.

Well, four times, twice in a raid and twice normally.

Like mentioned above, it was the hardest hitting defender out there in those early days due to how quick it could pump out Body Slam attacks. Offensively I'd say it's more useful to have STAB 3-bar body slams over heavy slam which is only good for 3 types.

I wonder what other non-legendaries they'll put in Field Research. I think Lapras is a strong contender, because she is another Poke that was hard to find, although I hear the water festival helped some people with that. Porygon would be very very welcome. I had 10 upgrades and no Porygon to use them on.


For Special research they're probably going to go with Celebi next, but I hope they leave Mew up for people just starting.
