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.

I submitted a report via the "appeal a termination" link despite my account not being terminated, sending them a screenshot and also asking them what exactly I did wrong. Hopefully they're getting so flooded with these submissions that they realize they probably screwed something up.

For the record, I don't own Let's Go, don't have a Plus, don't have an iWatch, etc.

Ah, well dang, it's worse when you don't have an obvious cause. Hopefully they resolve it for you.

Someone in my raid group got a strike against him despite never using anything that would be considered cheating. He contacted Niantic and they said that the message was sent out in error, so I dunno?

Also a girl on Facebook got banned from every group and chat when PMs surfaced where she would trade you almost anything for a measly $5-10, depending on the Pokemon you wanted. Screenshots are forever.

Don't open this can of worms, you'll get the one or two champions of weekday EX raids screaming down your throat.

I have never gone to an EX raid on the weekday where people said "thank goodness it wasn't a weekend" or gone to a weekend one where people go "I had to take time off work for this/I'm squeezing this in on a lunch break/Weekends are so inconvenient."

They have a 7 day cooldown, so I probably don't need so many of the darn things.

So I'm coming back to Pokemon go for the first time since launch. I'm level 7. My only goal is to obtain Meltan and his evolved form. What is my most direct path to this? What is any path to this, I have no idea what I'm doing.

A gun isn't a gun unless it shoots Magic.
If you have Pokémon Let’s Go on the Switch, you get a mystery box once a week whenever you transfer a Pokémon from Go to Let’s Go. The box spawns Meltan around you, and once you catch 400 candies worth you can evolve it. If you don’t have Let’s Go, then you have to do the research assignment to get one Meltan, and evolve through rare candies and walking.

To expand on this, walking requirements alone would be 8,000km to get enough candy :magical:

I have a question about raid bosses. If their type gets boosted by the weather, is it a harder encounter only because their moves get boosted, or do they have more health when weather boosted?

Health is the same. Moves get the weather boost if applicable.

Some guy in our Facebook chat claims that he didn't get a Sinnoh Stone from his research because he already had one in his inventory. I can't confirm that personally because I have a few days left until my second post-stone research breakthrough.

edit: one thing that I did confirm is that the mall I was at for Beldum day (Centr-O in Oberhausen, Germany) just deleted almost all their stops and gyms. Maybe having thousands of people walking around a closed mall on Beldum Day had something to do with it?

This game is trolling me. I got some (I thought) easy quests to evolve two Pidgeys. I have seen all of two Pidgeys since I got those quests.

One of them was a Ditto.

Not a single one since. What is this nonsense? Usually they pop up with some regularity but as soon as I have a quest for them suddenly they're rarer than Dratinis!

How long are the Let's Go quests available, again? I don't want to miss my chance to pick them up because all the Pidgey suddenly decided to fly south, or something.

FYI Cresselia is a Dex entry only. Worse than a ton of common attackers. About on par with Hypno, Slowbro, and Grumpig. So enjoy another month off from Tier 5 raids.

I liked Cresselia in the games. But yeah, probably garbage in POGO.

We’re gonna get so many bland useless raid bosses this generation. Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, Dialga, Palkia and Cresselia are all going to translate badly.

I’m hype for Heatran eventually though!

that's not entirely correct, as palkia is going to be one of the best attackers in the game provided they don't give it a poo poo moveset

The moveset's already been datamined, so if it doesn't change it has.... dragonbreath dragon tail as quicks, and fireblast, hydro pump, and draco meteor as charge moves.

Willsun

e: Oh nvm you said that's for Palkia and that's correct.

The moveset I found datamined for Dialga is:

Fast moves: Metal Claw, Dragon Breath
Charge moves: Draco Meteor, Iron Head, Thunder

If true, this makes Dialga only mediocre with its saving grace being NOT weak to dragon type as a dragon type itself. Dragon Tail would have made Dialga somewhat better, but lack of Outrage as a charge move still puts it behind Dragonite.

And yeah get ready for true PoGo hibernation whenever the lake trio is brought out. We can only hope they release all three at the same time for just one month and be done with it, but why would Niantic ever pass up a free chance at dragging on a generation? At this point I can only ask that they release the lake trio during June/July/August so I can stay out of the heat.

Welp, did a cresselia raid, got it on the first ball. Guess I'm done now except for helping people that haven't got it yet since it's bulky and needs people so you don't run out the clock. More alola marowak and shinx raids for now.

Kids and I can almost trio it with lick Gengar but we need more TMs and dust. Not sure if it's worth the effort compared to powering up dragons for the next few dragon bosses.

Are notifications messed up for other people? I have it selected to inform me when a Pokemon's motivation is low and returns from the gym, and all misc update messages off. It never tells me when motivation is low, only tells me of a return about 40% of the time, and always sends me misc update messages. What the hell is wrong with it?
