What's the point of a new thread?

And also, I'm confused about this part in the op: 'Pokémon in a gym are organized by the order in which they were placed by their owner. Go ahead, put a Pidgey in slot #6 behind a Blissey, Dragonite, Tyranittar, Gyrados, and Ampharos. You'll be glad you did!'

What does this mean? :downsgun:

Old one got full of bad sinnoh puns.

Yeah seriously. If this quest doesn't give us at least the evolution for Pokemon 108 then I'm gonna be even more disappointed in this game than usual.

Also in disappointment news: finally snagged a shiny Murkrow, caught a weather boosted Giratina, and hit 39 all within 10 minutes. My kid missed his Giratina. Now I feel bad.

You should.

My gotcha caught me a shiny Bulbasaur yesterday and shiny Swablu last week :D

RE Gengar: I love Gengar and was pleased to hear about the shiny chance but was ruined by the it being another sucky "barely any different for normal" shiny



Seriously what's even the loving point? Why not make him black or white or ANY OTHER COLOUR instead of a slightly different shade of purple thats barely even noticeable.

Also does this mean wild gastly be shiny now? or is it only Gengar and only in the raids?

It's a relic of early shinies just being palette swaps. Like each color had a number and the shinies back then was just the color number +1 or something like that. Hence boring gray Gengar and vomit Dragonite.

Does it just track steps while your phone is on you or do you need a fitbit or some sort of device like that?

Uses your phones internal step tracker I think. If it doesn't have one then well too bad.

How common are these shiny pinsirs and caterpies? Bagged me a caterpie but not a pinsir yet.

Didn't take part in Gengar day though. Stupid night shift.

The pinsirs should be pretty common for the rest of the weekend but will then drop down to regular shiny rates, so today’s your best bet if you want one.

As far as I know Caterpie’s far more rare!

Sweet!

I did bag a 2364 lv31 pinsir so that's neat.

Counter is a move that waits for the opponent to attack first and then deals double the damage back, for anyone (myself included) who forgot moves actually do things in the main games other than being mashed.

Makes sense as wobbuffet looks like it'd bounce back and headbutt you if you punched it.

Okay, it took me a while to figure out why they're doing shiny Cubone and Ponyta, until I realized it's because the shiny colors are green and blue - the colors of the Ingress factions. That makes a lot more sense.

They're seahawk fans gross.

It was boosted all weekend, just not as boosted as the 3 hour window. Normal shiny rate is 1/450; normal community day shiny rate is 1/24 (during the window); shiny rate outside that was estimated to be 1/90.

You will be able to unlock a second charge move on every Pokemon, usable in both PvP and Raids. Costs Stardust/Candy for each Mon.

Welp that's gonna change everything

I'm pretty darn excited about the second charge move. Gonna add a whole heap of depth between the typing and various charge bar/damages.
