Hey Pokémon trainer Stekspader, you’re not listed on the google sheet so I’m not sure if you are even a goon or not. We just hit ultrafriend so pop a lucky egg as soon as you log in next.

It's not a useful thing to do but I really like Ditto and would absolutely do it if I were you.

And, it has always worked like this, since the beginning of the game, so if you previously thought you were sorting by HP you were actually sorting by CP!

That's not really a useful sort. Wtf Niantic?

Today I caught a shiny Pikachu and two shiny Eevee. loving A. Also did a fun raid train today where someone got a shiny Mawile.

So not sure if I'm being a bitch here, goons, help. I had a trade set to help someone on Discord, he wanted a Raquaaza, he had several shinies to offer. I picked Eevee, even though I had some, and today's new two made me realize I only have 3 Rayrays and someone else has offered me a mon I don't have for one. So I hit up the first dude and explained, and asked if he had anything else. He got snippy with me, said as soon as he got a shiny he set up a trade for it, and then apparently forgot what our trade deal had been, because he wouldn't shut up about shiny Espeon.

Sounds like he wants the Rayray more than you need anything from him so he better sweeten the pot. Don't be taken in by angry dudes who think they entrapped you in a binding verbal super legal contract just because you thought about helping him. I would just say sorry that conditions changed especially since you got more shiny Eevee by yourself.

A lot of people are pretty entitled when it comes to trades and they don't realize that not only are you helping them, but YOU have to end up paying stardust as well even if you're getting the shittier end of the deal. I'm very accommodating if I'm the one asking for stuff since oftentimes there's not much else you can offer back besides a chance at a lucky or a reroll of something they want.

Rayquaza is hard to come by and worth its weight in gold right now so I wouldn't feel bad if I were you. Tell him to go ask some other super prolific player who might have 20 on hand or something.

Yeah, all the "hard" meltan quests have a trigger to spawn the annoying things. For the scyther, get the evolve 2 anorith, for the ditto, do the excellent throw, and hatch 2 eggs gets you aerodactyl.

It's also made easy in that the quest names have "Let's Go:" in front when you find them.

e: I see now Let's Go quests end next Tuesday, not this Tuesday.

Did you update Calcy IV recently so it has the new CP calculations? either something went wrong during that conversion process, or the data got cleared on it and it's forgotten everything.

Seems like it would have difficulty remembering pokemon that got adjusted, so it may have wiped what saved stuff it had?

Are you still powering them up with stardust? Or changing their moves? Sometimes these things make CalcyIV think it's a new Pokemon.

Nah all mine carried over just fine, the new CP formula was known, so it should have been able to anticipate what the new mons would look like. Looks like Wheany just got screwed somehow (assuming his app updated at all)

The same people who think it's fine to deny you the 50km rewards just because you're 10m short and Google Fit is totally accurate despite counting only half of my 5km run.

If I worked evenings or weekends I'd probably be pretty happy with that time. There's no time that's going to make everyone happy.

I just got "Battle in 10 Raids" part of the quest.

Can I still cheese it by batting in the same raid 10 times so I don't have to wait 10 days to complete the quest?

As in, start the raid, then run, then start a new? I suspect it only counts when the raid successfully ends, but I haven't checked.

It doesn’t work anymore, they changed it when people were cheesing it for Mew. It counts passes spent now, so you don’t have to actually even fight if you don’t want to or have enough players.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just got this warning and I have no idea why:



I've never used GPS spoofers, don't log into any sites to check IVs, and the only thing I've used that I could even remotely think this refers to. Seems others are getting the same message, likely in error, but they suspect it has to do with the iWatch or trading in the Let's Go games, which I haven't done yet. Kinda stumped what they think I've done outside using PokeGenie, which doesn't plug into the game.

I've also heard that accounts are getting strikes just for connecting to Let's Go. Get in touch with support and have them check it out.
