Really? I think I've seen four and caught three of them.

They're way more common now during cloudy weather. Croagunk is the same, but since it's a dual type both boosted by cloudy. Also, it's a 5k hatch.

Part of me wonders if this increased distance is a way to further minimize the Nearby window and make people more reliant on pokestops (where you actually have stops, anyway). I used to be able to see spawn points behind my yard, which is a Nest. Now I can't due to nearby pokestops.

I just got my first Croagunk last Sunday (50 miles from where I live) and I still don't have Skorupi. My town has weird spawns

Skorupis tend to bounce around from relationship to relationship without ever taking the time to just... be Skorupi, y'know.

So I found a complete in box Gotcha at a Goodwill today for $5, but it doesn’t charge or respond at all. I see on Amazon I can get extra chargers, but what is the likelihood that the charger is broken vs the Gotcha itself?

I live in permanent overcast during the winter so poison is always a boosted type, and one night on the way home I caught like 8 in a row. Lots of Croagunks too. It's a weird luck of the draw of what I get that spawns here. Last winter I caught hundreds of Machop as well.

One thing I've noticed is eggs from some places tend to hatch what is uncommon, i.e. 5k eggs would hatch Growlithe, which isn't that common where I'm at but I see them all over the place when I visit San Jose, and eggs from San Jose would hatch Swinub which are plentiful in the wild from where I'm from. So it makes it all the more frustrating that I'm hatching a 10k with that poo poo in there.

during the regional 7k event i hatched mostly tauros, which is not helpful as someone who lives an hour south of the heracross/tauros dividing line. (i've gone north of the line a few times and caught plenty of tauros already)

i still don't have a kanga

Make a burner account and find a kind Aussie goon to catch one for you out of the goodness of their heart. Or for you to catch your regionals in their burner account. I need to get the current regionals (carnavine and...parisichu?)

I have picked this game back up after a year.


So.....I log in, and I get a warning from Niantic to stop cheating. And I have a fuckton of pokemon with a red line through them. And a majority of them were caught in San Francisco, despite me living in Texas.


I had to release a lot of pokemon in the pursuit of fair play, and I changed my password for my pokemon trainer ID. What an odd turn of events.

That happened to me, only I hadn't actually played pokego before 2018. But I had a bunch of striked-out mons from New York, from 2016. Whereas, I'm Australian. Someone must have just jacked my trainer account. :shrug: Since you can't use them for much, I released them all but one, to keep around for novelty. I was already a few levels higher, with a bunch of items, so I kept all that.

Not only can you not use TMs to get Hydro Cannon, you can't add a second charge move to get it either.

It's always on a Sunday afternoon in Aus, which is why the sites were confusing me.

One of my spin tasks unexpectedly gave me an Aerodactyl when I claimed it today, and now I have the reward sitting there while I desperately try to find a Cubone so I can advance to the Let's Go Meltan stage that needs the Aerodactyl :supaburn:

Husband only got one... One is better than none I guess? I will need to save one for a friend who was unable to do Community Day at all.

My end haul was 3 Feraligatr with Hydro Cannon, one of them shiny.

I'm not taking time to post when there are Totodiles to catch. Five shinies, a 100% IV, and a lesser IV that levels to 2500 CP on the dot - I'm pretty happy.

Picked up 15 shinies. Not my best community day but hard to complain, couldn't summon too much enthusiasm for this one. Mall of America was packed full of people staring at their phones as is custom for Pokemon special events, along with plenty of confused and/or irritated bystanders.
