"Is that an accurate quote? It should be.

Why was silver pinap not 3x candy???

I mean I know why it wasn't, that would make the game too "easy", but seriously there's got to be a better way to get more candy on poo poo that doesn't spawn often

I'm pretty sure I'm never doing a quest for any kind of nanab unless it does more than movement/catch rate. Or it's really loving easy.

Moltres Day catches are going to have Sky Attack, I guess. Is that any good? I feel like I'd rather my fire chickens have double fire type attacks but :shrug:

Also discovered today an Umbreon is NOT an Eevee..even though they earn Eevee candy. I evolved my buddy with 5k to go (had an overlap from the first 'walk 10k') and did my last 5k with evolved Eevee..it did NOT give me credit for my last candy for the quest. Apparently it HAS to be an Eevee to count. So I'm going out for another walk now! :P

I was actually curious about this, and I'm not surprised it turned out lame like that

Go out at night or in the early morning, on my daily dog walk I come across at least 10 ghosts because I woke up at like 7am.

How is it "lame" that walking something that is not an Eevee doesn't earn you credit for a quest that tells you to specifically walk an Eevee?

Had probably the luckiest day since the game launched today. Headed to my EX raid and caught my first shiny Wingull when I arrived. Caught the (terrible IV) Mewtwo, and immediately swapped it with the guy standing next to me. Turned into 87% and lucky. A minute later I caught a shiny Natu, followed by a second shiny Wingull. I'll take it.

I willed too hard again...
Some guy with a daughter that comes to raids suddenly showed up recently with an ahegao hoodie and it threw me for a loop. No one gave him attention for it and I hope he just never wears it again. Just why, you have a daughter, dude.

The same guy also recently got attacked at a raid by some tweaker. I was told by regulars they were all raiding at the local library and some strung out dude was getting really upset they were playing (nowhere near him) and how it "defiled the sanctity" for the librarians working there. The gyms are just statues outside in a courtyard and at the parking lot loop and nowhere inside the library. They just ignored him and kept playing and the guy continued shouting and telling them not to cross a certain line. The guy that wore the ahegao hoodie I mentioned had his daughter with him and since I wasn't there, no one's exactly sure if he purposefully or unintentionally crossed the crazy guy's "line," so the crazy guy goes up and decks him. No serious injuries but his sunglasses go flying and they said the daughter wasn't even really aware what was going on. No fight ensued, everyone came to stand between the two and told the crazy guy they were calling the cops and he ran.

Apparently the crazy guy hid under a nearby bridge and some random girl on a bike rode by and told the cops where he was and they went to go take him away at taser point.

months ago some dude got real mad that we were raiding at a church, insisting that we were actually there to deal drugs, and smashed one of our raiders' tail lights with a baseball bat

he did not work at the church in any capacity btw

Sorry, I should have put a short description for ahegao so you don't have to google this stupid new 4chan-ish trend. People think it's funny now to make clothing or decals or prints of anime porn faces of characters in the throes of, well, porn acts. Those prints cut out the rest of the body so it's technically safe, which is probably why people who wear/buy these things think it's funny that it's "porn but not porn." Their whole reason for wearing/buying these things are so they can stand around shifting their eyes watching for a reaction from anyone and at best, hoping someone gets uncomfortable enough to tell them not to wear porn in public so they can retort with "But is it porn??" :smug:

So yeah, young dad that drags his daughter around to raids decided to wear a hoodie covered in this kind of print. That's why most of us don't feel that sorry for him getting punched by some weirdo.

TOO LATE.

I got the "walk 10k with an Eeevee" quest showing complete but the Eevee itself only showed 5k walked. So I walked another five and it suddenly jumped to 15. Then I evolved to umbreon and it didn't give me the quest as complete, but then when I logged in the next day, it showed it was and I went to the next stage, and it already counted me as two along in the "spin pokestops" quest. Hooray!

Nanabs are good as snacks for whoever you have in a gym when you can't be bothered giving them a golden Razz berry. Otherwise they are first to get trashed when I'm out of bag space.

I'm slowly creeping up my bag space with my daily coins, but always hitting the limit. I'm up to 1200 now, with a slow accumulation of max revives/max potions from gifts using up 400 slots between them. And I still delete nanabs on sight.

it's the same for me now, but when I was on that Quest it didn't matter what time I was out I wouldn't see ghosts but once every few days. It was the same for my wife, when she was still on that part I would see ghosts spawn on my account but they wouldn't be there for her

So in regards to special trades, if I have a shiny Pikachu, and evolve it, now shiny Raichu, and work out a trade with someone where they're going to trade me a shiny Pikachu, would that still count is a shiny special trade in terms of stardust, or just a regular special trade when he wants a non shiny back?

Good event overall. We both got a few shiny wingull, and I caught a shiny snubbull last night.

I'm surprised that the goon collective here hasn't created a couple throwaway accounts to pass around so everyone can get regionals.

We have a few people in town that travel enough, but I don't have any shinies I want to trade for most of them.

I think what the poster was saying was a “throw away account” where multiple people are given the login and password. So someone in Europe catches a bunch of Mr Mime, then someone in the US logs in and trades a Mr Mime to oneself for a Pidgey or something.


This reminds me: to the nice Nashville goon who was holding a Mr. Mime for me, I sadly probably won’t be by Nashville for a year or so. So trade away.

You know, I'd never even thought of that, but I had thought about setting up a second account to do bulk throwaway trades with for luckys.

I'm missing most of the American regionals, I'd be well up for doing the European legwork if you fancy it. PM me? :wink:

Cowslips Warren posted:

I figure he means setting up a second account that EuropePerson catches regionals with, then AmericanPerson signs into it on a spare phone and trades to their main account. Then vice-versa.

Dr Tran posted:

450k, I don't know if that is "doing well". But it's more a case that my bag's constantly full and I have to throw away something to spin a stop right now, and nanab is the easy decision for me.

That's exactly how I felt when I caught mine, but turns out that even lovely Mewtwo is better than like 90% of attackers outside of edge cases with rare weaknesses / weather boosts.

Having a beefed up Mewtwo and Machamp means I basically never have to worry about switching pokemon during a gym battle anymore.

I got a second Ex Raid pass and was hoping to get a better Mewtwo, but sadly I had to be somewhere when it was scheduled and missed it by 30 minutes. :negative: I just started playing again so I don't know anybody in the local community that I would have trusted enough to to the raid for me, but hopefully I snag another pass someday. Sounds like I got pretty drat lucky getting 2 in 2 months.
