I am going to be very sad if I lose my collection of cp 69, cp 420 and cp 666 ‘mons with the stat rebalance.

You just need un-pair the device from bluetooth and then re-pair it again. It happens all the time to me. It’s a quick and easy fix.

It’s frustrating to have Niantic to be able to coast by just due to having the Pokemon property. Two years in and we finally have something resembling a real game.

Lol. To grind out the gold trainer medal as efficiently as possible it still takes 17 hours of tapping.

Adventure sync rewards are pretty dogshit for the distance walked. The rewards were totally acceptable for effort pre-nerf.

Man people can take this game way too seriously.

I was out this morning walking my dog and took a few gyms out along the way. My wife got a dm through our local discord threatening us to leave those gyms alone because they were the one that created the portals/gyms through Ingress and deserve to be the first one to get gold at them.

My wife knows exactly who it is. I think she’s going to message the discord admin and see what they’ll do about it.

For some reason most of the red team players are huge selfish assholes compared to everyone else in my city.

What’s hosed up is that you need to walk 15km with bonsly if you want to evolve it.

Although, what mad man would want to evolve that cute little dude?

I still can’t imagine spending real money to fight a raid with such insanely garbage mechanics.

Old Swerdlow

Also IVs barely matter unless you trying to solo/duo really difficult stuff. The effectiveness of an 80% compared to a 100% Pokemon is about 2% more effectiveness/dps.

Chase the 100% IVs for fun but it’s not a huge deal. Most hardcore players are the only ones that care a ton about IVs because there is no other big goal for them to chase.

I lucked into a blue turtle for my wife through my gotcha this morning and then she managed to find one for me while out on a walk with our dog.

I’ve had crazy shiny luck this week. Back to back shiny latios, a pink sheep and now some Mario Kart bullshit.

Niantic can’t even do the standard f2p game procedure of giving the customer a discounted price/bonus for buying its currency and actually charges more money for buying coins in bulk of more than 100.

Now I am the Magikarp.

Is there a place that keeps track of which legendaries are available and when? I'm hoping to get an Azelf this weekend before they become rare again, and my buddy has a few duplicates he can trade once he's not dust broke.

My solution to fix my adventure sync problems was to delete the app and reinstall it. Restarting your phone might help too.

Old Swerdlow

IV’s make at most a pokemon 10% better from zero to 100%. They only matter if you are trying insane 1-2 person raid challenges or min/maxed pvp mons. They aren’t really worth considering unless you find the chase to get a 100% mon a fun endeavour.

So few pokemon are worth using in raids outside of legendaries no matter their IV’s.

Pvp is a whole other meta that I don’t pay attention to.

It’s also one of those situations where it snowballs. The more raids you do, the easier it is to fight raids solo with your good raid Pokémon.

Also wow EX raid invites are hard to get in big metro areas. I did like 50 raids in the past week and ended up without an EX invite this round -- as far as I can tell it's because I was mostly raiding either in really big busy CBDs or near my random minimal traffic local gyms.

You are only eligible for Ex Raid passes by doing raids at Ex gyms.

He’ll be the best non legendary water attacker.
