Dear Fake James,

Why my storage is always near full:

Raids:
I participate in one car raids, so I have to have the best counters to maximize efficiency. I usually have 3 battle parties preset for weather, and raid boss movesets. This accounts for most multiples of the same Pokemon.
I maxed out six Gyarados for a tourney I participated in only for Gyarados to be replaced by Kyogre like a month later.

Gyms:
Everyone should have 6 maxed out Machamps by now. Then assorted other counters. And then a fleet of Blissey, Chansey and Snorlax to stick in gyms.

Living dex:
I had a scanner, so I have hundos of almost everything. Multiple hundos. I think I'm holding fifteen 100% Magikarp. I like that I can fill in a role of pretty much every gym theme imaginable.

Gender dex:
Yeah, that too.

Shiny dex:
I can't part with my shinies.

Lucky dex:
I've transferred a lot of these, but you can only transfer one at a time. I neglect to transfer bad ones right away.

Legacy moves:
I have a completely useless Starmie with Quick Attack and Psybeam I don't know what to do with yet. Plenty more Pokemon like this.

Pikachu hats:
Stupid stupid stupid shits. But I have to have one of every hat to stick in a gym.

Unown:
The scanner was fruitful, so I have one of almost every letter. I've had a bunch of events near me, so I have a lot of duplicates.

Community day Pokes:
Still have way too many Sunglass Squirtle and Frenzy Plant Meganium at the moment.

Trade pokes:
As long as I don't need to unfriend someone, I'll hold some nice Pokemon for trade. I also trade Pikachu, small rats and large karp with some friends so we hold them for each other until we play together.

Waiting for double candy:
Biggest reason I have no space left. So many Legendaries I'm waiting to transfer.

Copy that into your keyboard replacement.

If I type $beldum, that pops out. I can go into my Pokédex and hit search and type $beldum and if I have a match, I’ll have a 100% Beldum.

Lick's true DPS is higher than hex, but where it truly stands out is EPS, which would allow you to build up shadow ball really quickly. It means this gengar will be viable provided you use a charged TM afterward.


Just build parties, geez.

Alternatively: send your aggrons to the candy muncher like I did.

The 100% catch rate for shiny raid bosses is dead. Had Shiny Gengars pop out of balls last weekend.

Absol, mawlie etc aren't 100% catch as shiny iirc but legendaries are. Gengar might have just been 100% from some weirdness involving the raid day code since it's only been the birds before now.

That said, every one of the 6 shiny gengar my raid group caught was a first ball catch. Maybe the ones that were claimed to have popped out weren't actually shiny? I haven't seen a dispute on the 100% anywhere else.

Maybe it was because we were wafu raiding and going too fast? Both cars in my group had Shiny break outs.

Where do you grind? I live in SGV and most ppl head to Montebello mall and either walk or drive. Just moved here so still figuring out places to farm when I have time.

I grind in Newhall in Santa Clarita Valley but did Community Day at Santa Monica on Main St.

I heard there’s some good grinding at Cal Tech.

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.

They probably planned the raid boss rotation months ago and had no clue Shinx farming would be as popular as it was. It's not exactly a powerhouse in the other games or a huge fan favorite from the cartoons.

It can be shiny, thus it is popular.

So I replaced my uncharging gotcha with a Gotcha Ranger and it seems to connect very quickly, which is good. However, it also seems to turn auto-spin off, which is not.

I think it might be happening because of button presses happening in my pocket, but the old one didn't do this despite living the same place. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Run the gotcha update app until it is synced.

For gifts, it matters when the gift was sent, not when opened right? Or does that only count for what you get, but if you get an egg, the egg is dated from when you open it?

If you're concerned about getting a Munchlax, dont open gifts until after 1pm local time.

I want to invest more in the Ultra and Great leagues.
All of my Kingdra are over 2500, so I need one of those. I'll probably invest in more legendaries in the Ultra tier.

I dont have the moves I want on Mew, but I also don't have the TMs to waste to get them at the moment.
All Mewtwo have Shadow Ball plus Focus Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt or Flamethrower.
Dragonite has Dragon Breath, Outrage and Hurricane, but I use it for tearing down gyms rather than PVP.
