I've been unable to log in since the latest update. Since the update that crashed the scanners I'd often get the "incompatible OS" message when switching apps, but a quick cache clear would fix it for a bit. Since the latest it pops that message right after the allow camera access prompt, regardless of whether I accept or deny those permissions.

Guess I gotta put this on my work phone.

one of the more dedicated players I know has a go+ and cannot do the streaks for their life on anything other than a legendary raid boss, because they just never catch trash manually. It's kinda funny.

Anyone in here playing on a Moto X4? Thoughts? I'm considering upgrading from my old and tired Nexus 5X, which has just been making GBS threads the bed lately. Half the time I load the game, the framerate dips down to unplayable levels.

Have you tried formatting it? I had huge issues with my Nexus 6 (not 6P, just vanilla 6) formatted it and everything has been lovely so I can continue to hold out for the Pixel 3.

Granted, if you're due for an upgrade anyway that won't help, but if the sole reason you're looking to upgrade is poo poo Pogo performance like I was, try that.

Question for all you people that are way more dedicated than me:

Can gifts be sent remotely, or are they like trading in that it's local only?

I'm basically wondering if it's worth bothering adding friends on the other side of the country to gift them faticates.

It is a specific version of android thing, and phone model may play in as well. I have a Nexus 6 and it deletes anything I have when I switch apps. A friend with a Pixel 2 does not have that issue.

I intended to only be friends with people in my raid group or that I could realistically trade with.

Which Kyogre should I power up:

15A/10D/15S or 15A/12D/14S

The first one. There's some meta-analysis that says lower defense with higher stamina might get you an extra charge attack in a raid.

I can confirm the actual quest is to get two eevee candy from walking. I started that quest with about 4 KM on my Eevee and when it ticked over to 5 and I got the candy, the progress bar is at 1 of 2.

Additionally, if you get the glitch that gives two candies when it rolls over that 5km, it autocompletes. I did both the Espeon and Umbreon 10k walks in 5k that way.

So I finally have been re naming some of my Pokémon on specific movesets, and I ran into a fun one:

I got a Tyranitar on community day, so I went to label that Pokémon “Smackdown.” Well, apparently Niantic doesn’t like that, a text comes up that says “that name contains inappropriate text” and you just can’t name it that.

So, beyond the whole censorship part (which is dumb but whatever) I’m just like, well why did you let Tyranitar learn an inappropriate attack then?


And hopefully it’s everyone, and I didn’t turn on some parental control accidentally.

I tried to name a Snorlax "Enola Gay" and that was inappropriate, but "Gay" is just fine.

Now he's named "Enola Găy", which apparently is quite dandy.

Rolled up to an Articuno raid while traveling to a different site for work, didn't want to get out of my car because I was in a handicap spot, normally I just walk from work. There was a straggler on discord, but he said he was rounding the corner and to start the lobby. I hopped in, there were 3 people already in the lobby with 50 seconds left, probably people not on the discord that were hanging out in front of the gym. We battle, it ends, I take off to go to the site I was supposed to fix things for work. Looked at discord to see if anyone got a shiny and found a large string of insults directed at me and how the straggler didn't get in because I started the lobby early (I didn't, the pubbies did) and how I'm blacklisted from any raid he's in.

Some people in my normal raid group asked why he didn't tag someone asking to back out and assured him that I don't normally do that, and he went off on a tangent about "mansplaining" and how "he's probably not a bad person but he was already on my blacklist, now he's banned from this group, I'm done wasting dollars if he doesn't wait."

We're two days away from being ultra friends and I don't know what I did to get on his original blacklist(?), and the only mistake I made was not popping back to discord to make sure he was in, but it kinda sucks that several people not in my normal raid group bought into his diatribe. I get it, everyone has lost a pass because people started early and that sucks, but that's taking it to another level.

either charge tms have had their rate greatly, greatly reduced or i am just incredibly unlucky because i did over 30 articuno raids during bird week and got zero charge tms the entire time, which was bullshit because it meant i never got a shadow ball mewto

Extremely unlucky I'd go with. I burned literally all my charge TMs on Moltres day giving TTars Stone Edge because I had zero with Smackdown, and now I'm back up to 20, even after getting 9 Mewtwos to Shadow Ball before it became legacy. I raid once, maybe twice per day.
