Getting real tired of your poo poo Niantic

I've hatched 70 Alohan eggs

45 Alohan Meowths / 64.29%
13 Alohan Sandshrews / 18.57%
9 Alohan Grimers / 12.86%
3 Alohan Vulpix / 4.29%

I've been keeping those super incubators churning. Partly to chase those hatch IVs, and partly to keep my egg supply cleared out so I can level up those friendship levels for PokeGoon Fest 2019!!!!

Wait. I think I had one of those lightbulb moments. Say I hatch some Alohan Pokemon from goons, from say Norway and Australia, and then if I trade those to people here where I live in the US, would that add to their pilot's badge? And mine too?

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.

Not sure they would have gone with Snorlax without the legacy move, so I would guess other legacy moves people care about. I guess ice shard/ice beam Lapras is possible, but if they're willing to do evolved forms then likeliest is probably shadow claw Gengar (making my 98% one a lot less rare). The only one I personally need is rock throw Omastar, but I kind of doubt they'll do that after adventure week.

Yeah I posted a few days ago. If you're going less than a mile to your destination , minimize the game , wait 8-9 minutes and open at destination and you'll get credit for the distance. I use it constantly when leaving my house and opening it at a light and it'll give me some kms, then from another light to where I park

mostly funny looking. I did see a raid with a lot of alolan exeggcutors and that was worth seeing. just a bunch of really tall trees smacking a legendary. I think that one is the closest to relevant for leveling.

Yea it doesn't track your speed when it's minimized, so if you keep it that way it'll update from old to last position within a rough window of time. I think it's technically ten minutes but try not to push it. And the speed limit is around 6mph which is one mile in said ten minutes. So I aim for a bit less than that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but once you get the hang of it you can really add up the kms doing errands and commutes.

I think those four are all the ones that hatch from eggs, yes. You can also catch alolan ratatta in the wild.

I read two more are supposedly coming at GO fest, Geodude and Diglett. We'll see?

I'm at 11 meowth and 2 Grimer so far. I just want 2 of each, then trade the rest for distance towards the medal.

Traded one of the eggs I got, and got 9000 km towards the distance medal.

Don't use anything that requires your login info. If you're on Android use Calcy IV. If you're on iPhone use PokeGenie.

IIRC their stats are the same as their regular counterparts, they just have different skins. So alolan exeggcute should still be good

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

Going by the Gen 7 games, Alolan Muk (Poison/Dark) should be a good one. Only the one weakness in Ground, and being a slow hard-hitting tank should translate well to the Go stats system.

some of them have slightly different stats and elements. alolan exegg is dragon/grass and has 230 attack vs regular grass/psychic 233. Minor, but there. :shrug:

I'd argue ice/fairy instead of fire is a pretty big difference.

I took over my first gym! Me and someone else I couldn't see were grinding it down, and they managed to take it before me but for some reason only left an extremely baby abra. Like, 20 cp. So I kicked the baby in the face and dropped a 700 cp seviper in there to maybe give some other mystic people a chance to drop in better pokemon.

I am excited to get some pokecoins for this, since seviper hasn't come back yet I don't think. You do get an announcement when that happens, right?

EDIT: The gym is in a pretty high-traffic area so I have no illusions about keeping control of it if some other mystic players don't reinforce my hold fairly quickly, but it was still fun and I think I'm getting the hang of how battling works in this game.

You do get a notification like the ones about friends when that happens, yep. You’ll get 1 coin for every 10 minutes he stays in the gym (I think) and you can earn a maximum of 50 per day.

I usually drop weak stuff in gyms myself. I don’t like grinding down the Blissey/Snorlax/Slaking tag team that’s in every other gym and I don’t really want to inflict it on anyone else. Might as well make the lineup interesting.

Edit: While I’m here, have an EX raid trip report:
The rumored turbo nerd and his binder of phones never showed up, but we did get a pretty good turnout. 4 or 5 elementary schoolers, a larger group of older kids, me, another goony type, and a grandmother who started the game with her granddaughter and kept playing after the kid quit since it got her walking around more.

Maybe 16 people in all. Most had levels in the 20s but we took down Mewtwo no problem. I caught myself a 98% one! :woop:

The highlight of the raid was grandma getting down to her last ball, asking one of the kids for help, and the kid hitting an excellent curveball to catch it for her.

Sounds fun!

Yeah, I'll probably throw in pokemon I like instead of just walls on gyms, but since I don't intend to buy pokecoins I'll need some way of getting fashionable. A couple people have put up bulkier pokemon into the gym I snagged so hopefully my snake friend will get me some good funds.

Most gyms I see tend to be team valor, which I guess makes sense but you'd think would also make things kind of boring if you were in valor.
