Turns out the highest mountain in the British Isles has both a pokestop and a gym at the top of it. Of course I took over the gym.

I was on holiday in France last week and found a gym up a mountain that had been held for 375 days straight. Of course that was prime time to have connectivity issues, and then the iOS bug that required reinstalling the game. So he’s still holding that drat gym

Speaking of EX raids, our local group had a strange bug happen on the gym we were targeting for passes this past week. We had over 30 accounts that had raided there so we were almost guaranteed to get passes on Saturday... but then on Friday, someone reported that a level 1 raid egg on that gym hatched into nothing. When they clicked on the gym, they got a message stating that the gym was closed for an EX raid and would reopen shortly. We know there couldn't have been an actual EX raid; we tried to trigger that gym the week prior and got clock-blocked by a raid at the last minute so nobody got passes. Now there hasn't been a single raid at the gym since that bugged raid appeared. Then EX passes went out on Saturday and we didn't get any, so we're pretty sure the gym bugged out and wiped everyone's progress. So now we've gotten screwed on Mewtwos three weeks in a row thanks to weird game bugs (two clock-blocks and this empty EX raid). Most of us already have Mewtwos, but it's just frustrating trying to trigger more raids for our newer players only to keep getting shut out by glitches.

I headed off after 15 minutes and by that point two other people had put stuff in already. It is a well-trafficked peak.

A park in a neighboring suburb showed up on the Silph Road Global Atlas as a verified charmander nest at the turn of the last migration. Wife and I made a few trips to said park and pinap’d everything we could. This was my result: Extremely good IVs and the best moveset he can get. Won’t require much dust to max out either. Crossed an item off my Pokemon Go bucket list with this one.

Very nice Charizard. I haven't sought out any nests but I just checked and I'm at 2735 caught pokemon and I just saw my second Charmander today and caught it for the first time. Already caught a Charmeleon a while back and recently traded for a Charizard but the little guy had eluded me until today.

I didn’t get a shiny wingull, not for lack of trying though. I did get my first Entei this morning though. 91% with best moveset.

I felt moderately bad when I pulled two shiny wingulls in a row at the same intersection walking with someone who's gone zero for however many. not bad enough to stay silent about it though I guess

Finished my original 151. Thank god for local trainers that have a ton of money and travel a lot. And also other players who are spoofers to just get regionals for the rest of the local scene.

That just means the time is now, with triple dust running this week. I'll gladly make a handful of burner accounts and pre load them with dust and tauros to exchange for kanga, trophius and relicanth.

I never see Charmanders anywhere, ever. I'm still sitting on 20 total candy with an annoying gap in my Dex.

Remember folks that each Pokemon can only be traded once across all accounts. So a new account catching one regional and trading for another will just end up with a trade locked regional on it. Your main account will never see it and will die alone and unloved.

That's not what they were suggesting. For example the account would be operated by someone in the USA for a while and catch a bunch of Tauros, then the log in details passed over to some Europeans who would trade themselves the Tauroses but also catch Mr Mimes, and so on and on until everyone has everything. It's a smart idea but would take a lot of stardust grinding and also for me if you're doing all that you might as well just spoof yourself round the world.

Are you in the A2Ypsi Discord? It's a pretty good local discord. I've already got those, but I'm sure other people in there want them for stuff.

Got Celebi today. But it forced AR mode and my phone was near useless. Closed everything else, and was still getting such a low framerate that I couldn't throw the ball nine times out of ten. Took ten minutes of waiting for Celeb to move close and then basically dropping the ball on it to catch. Is my phone just a piece of poo poo, or is this a known bug? Are there any other special Pokemon that force AR? I got my first ex raid pass and now I'm worried mewtoo will be like that...

Is there another device you could try catching it on?

It's just mythical Pokemon, try closing the app and revoking it's camera permissions, don't accept when it asks for them back. If anything AR mode depends on fails it'll fall back to the regular no-camera catch screen.

Mewtwo, specifically, does not require AR so you're fine on that.

Jirachi should be the next mythical and it's gen 3 too. Mew was introduced in March, Celebi in August, so see you next year.

PVP needs to be launched with zero to minimal bugs, so I don't want to see goofy stuff like mythical pokemon until they've knocked that completely out of the park.
