Nutto is:

- not a glitch
- added for the Let's Go marketing campaign
- the new Pokemon that will be transferable from Let's Go to Go
- part of Gen 7
- probably Pokedex #808
- possibly the steel-type evolved form of Ditto scrapped in the Gold/Silver beta
- but more likely a brand new steel-type that just has solder that looks like Ditto

Man if that's the evolved form of ditto instead of the perpetually screaming spike I'm going to be mad.

my favorite glitch is the one i just got, where you lose gps signal for a split second during the mewtwo catch screen and get booted out

and re-entering the gym or relogging does nothing

very cool

Oh yeah, or tapping "go to gym" on a defending pokemon if you have no gps and getting bootet to the map screen. Or getting the red "GPS signal not found" banner... Well pretty much ever. It covers information and UI and also causes lag that fucks up poke ball throws when it appears and disappears.

I downloaded this game 2 years ago and promptly forgot about it. Until this weekend a friend was talking about it and I started playing.
This is kinda fun. I'm level 9 at the moment and I don't really know what I'm doing. I added my name to the Google thing in the OP, so if you could add me and send me sweet gifts, that'd be cool. I live in Belgium by the way. Don't know if there are any special Pokemons here though.

Welcome!

You can get a lot of easy XP to boost your level by just adding friends and opening a gift from someone (or you send them a gift and they open it). You immediately become "Good Friends" and get 3k XP, and then 7 more days of that will make you "Great Friends" and grants another 10k XP. You can easily get yourself to level 20 just off friend bonuses.

I've also just started playing due to finally getting a decent phone. Just got my first perfect IV poke too, an Oddish. Which is rad, really like that whole line. Is Vileplume or Bellossom better? Or just go with what I like best (Bellossom)?

Vileplume is the stronger evolution but it's outclassed as a grass type attacker by Exeggutor (and a few others actually) and lacks a poison type charge move. Neither one is top tier so you might as well go with the one you like better.

There's a point in the celebi quest line where you have to evolve a Pokemon with a sun stone to progress though, so maybe wait until then.

Yeah, I added some friends and got some gifts. Got an egg and when it hatched I got a green Grimer? It looks pretty cool but I have no idea why this one is green.

The 7 km yellow/purple eggs from gifts hatch Alolan variants of some Pokemon, and for a limited time (until the end of September) they can also hatch some Gen 1 Pokemon, including regional exclusives.

Alolan Pokemon: Meowth, Diglett, Sandshrew, Grimer, Vulpix, Geodude
Regionals: Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, Tauros, Farfetch'd
Others: Tangela, Porygon

Hi belge

The best way to level fast and get better pokemon is to raid, best way to do that is find your local group which will be on Facebook or discord or WhatsApp. If you’re a little wary about meeting other people playing the game it’s mostly harmless and fun.

If you're not shelling out for incubators constantly, that can be 60km of walking. I don't spend money on this game so eggs are pretty much a waste of time for me. It can certainly feel like a slap in the face to spend 7km on a single egg just for another smug rear end Meowth to crawl out of it, still trailing yolk and bits of shell.

Just hatched 2 Mr. Mimes in a row.

After flying to Europe and collecting 2 Mr. Mimes in the process, this feels like cheating :sigh: Though I'm loving my two new Kangaskhan homies, so I guess I should get over it.

Eh, this event blows because the chances are so low, and it takes a lot of walking to hatch that many eggs. I’ve hatched 10-11 so far, and not one regional. And I get that many just because I can track steps on my watch during my retail based job.

Just because you obsessively play this game to the point of anger at every inconvenience doesn't mean you should rag on people who don't. The fact that the odds are so bad is a thing that sucks, and you shouldn't be holding that against people.

I do agree that the egg hatch should be nearly all regional, or as I said before, like a 1 in 4 chance, and a 1 in 18 for a shiny regional or something like a shiny Alolan, but I save my sympathy for people who have hatched 10 or more garbage mons and walked like mad, instead of using just the free incubator and bemoaning the bad luck.

For gen2, there's only regional Corsola and Heracross, right? Or are any of the missing ones regional?

Okay I got a go-tcha, and it's about 1 billion times better than a go plus. The auto catch/spin feature is amazing, and makes it so I'm not even slightly distracted while driving. I didn't get any shinies on the first use but I caught 54 pokemon on my 25 minute commute.

Whether you thought it was a glitch or not why not hang on to a couple of them just in case? There was always a chance of this.

You’ll no doubt be able to get another anyway, they’re still showing up and now that unknown types get prioritised in the radar they shouldn’t be too hard to locate.
