Is there any chance whoever's alt is "SAPoGoTraveller" could send me a gift? We've been one interaction away from Ultra for a while, and I've got a few others lined up.

Looten Plunder posted:God forbid I'd want to trade pokemon, that would be near impossible to negotiate. To trade with people you need to be within 100m of them, so basically need to know/be with them in real life. And as with everything else social in this game, you have to rely upon an external communication method to coordinate that.

Seiyal posted:Is there a good way to tell if someone has stopped playing/removed friends from friends list etc? There's a few friends on my brothers' acct that seem to be pretty much stuck in the 'have sent gift, no gifts incoming' state and I'm not sure how to help them out. I don't want them to delete their friends if it's just an odd glitch or known issue but also don't really have any advice as to how to tell if that's the case either. Set their nickname to the number of Pokemon they’ve caught (displayed on their profile) and check back in a week or two. If it still matches they’ve probably quit.

Mustached Demon posted:It probably despawned on the map after you tapped it. If that happens, they always run away. I can say for a fact this isn't true. The other day I rushed across town to catch a Pansage; opened it on one phone but saw it despawn on the other. I still caught it on the first one.

I've gone from 2 spawn points at home to about 5, all almost exactly the same radius from my house in a circle. It's pretty funny, like they've been watching my activity and added them specially

With the Tourism event on and one of the quests being “Trade Pokemon caught 10,000km apart”, are there any Aus/NZ goons who want to do a gift trade with me and my girlfriend’s UK accounts? That way we can keep the quests stacked and try to get/hatch an egg that’s over the distance to trade. Me: 0334-3718-4989 Her: 4212-9657-0650

 These are the post-change spawns I get in my house, at the end of a small dead-end street. A+ would Niantic again. Vegastar posted:They hosed up, it sucks, and I am baffled by changing spawns instead of adding spawns. It’s far easier to do a “delete all, reimport” than a literal planet-scale merge, if you believe the new data is a reasonable replacement. But they’ve already acknowledged it had a larger impact than they intended and are looking into it..

HookShot posted:I just got my gotcha in the mail, and it caught me a caterpie! You don’t need the screen on, but the game does need to be running (can be in the background). It needs re-pairing about every hour and a quarter, but you should get a push notification when it times out. But you also get a push notification for every Pokemon it attempts to catch (whether it works or they flee), and there’s no way to separate these notifications, so you’ll probably end up turning them all off.

I know about the mechanic but I've never once seen a gym and thought "Oh a Gible, I'll hang around and plough 100 berries into this for a shot at one candy".

seiferguy posted:Kinda wish I taught my good meltan a second move before I evolved him into melmetal. Ah well. I wont make the same mistake with Deino! Deino and Meltan both cost the same for a second move (75 and 100 respectively) whether you teach it them pre- or post-evolution. It’s only the “baby” Pokemon (Pichu, Riolu, Bonsly etc) who are cheaper. Ask me about my Meltan named “whoops” with a second move that cost me 100k dust.

Then again I dont do much PVP anyway... I'm keeping my Lucario below 2500. I'm not interested in Ultra League right now, but it was costly enough (candy-wise) to get him to that level that I'd rather not get the marginal gain of going slightly over. Wheany posted:I have been using a S2 cell overlay to strategically submit new pokestops. Sure, this stop is in the corner of this playfield, but the center of the field is in a cell that already has a stop. There's no stop in the 16 cells around my house, but at the same time I can't think of anything that's likely to get approved to submit.

Johnny Joestar posted:got like 5 2km eggs ready to go so here's hoping. Bad news: egg contents are decided when you pick them up, not when you hatch them, so those 5 eggs won’t have the CD mon in (except by coincidence). If you want to maximise it you should focus on hatching all the eggs you currently have and not incubating ones you pick up during the weekend until the old ones are cleared (or at least those 2ks). That way you can stock up on the CD ones to hatch later.

It used to be like you'd get an approval/rejection within 4 days of submitting one, but now my latest one has gone on 13 days still "In Voting." I've had two near my house go through in 4 and 5 days a couple of weeks ago. Meanwhile one near my parents' place which I thought was a sure bet (a nature reserve with no portals anywhere nearby) has been in voting for nearly a month. Was really hoping that would get in before I'm back for Christmas..

I’ve been doing pretty well (30/35 with a streak of 18) with Jirachi/Deoxys/Giratina. All of them are pretty tanky and can take a lot of the charged attacks. Plus they seem to catch people off-guard who’ve just learned how the top meta picks play against each other. Most of the time people burn both their shields on Jirachi’s first two charged attacks because they don’t know what it’ll do.

I’ve given up on Adventure Sync on iOS. It’s turned off, and when I try to turn it on it guides me to system settings that don’t exist.  If I delete the app and reinstall it fixes it for a while, but as they’re stored device-side that wipes out all my raid, PvP and Rocket lineups. And the problem still comes back anyway.

It is meant to be Thundurus this month, but Niantic are packing in constant events to keep people hooked and spending money. Those two shouldn’t completely replace Thundurus - there were still a few around this weekend alongside Darkrai - but they share the 5* egg pool. The Cresselia and Registeel event is for PvP prep before Go League restarts later this week.

Kantesu posted:Cress is solid in both Great (though you have to trade it with someone sub-Best Friends to have a chance of it going low enough; or catch it with a sub-level 20 account) and Ultra. It probably has a harder time in Ultra with the ubiquity of Giratina, but it at least has Aurora Beam and/or Moonblast there to make it not a shutout. Registeel walls it out pretty bad. Crap, you've just made me realise my Great League Cress has completely the wrong moveset. I've been running it with Confusion/Future Sight/Moonblast, which takes ages to reach charge moves. It still tanks charge attacks from most of the meta though, so has a solid place in my main team (Jirachi/Deoxys-D/Cress). Also we've been one interaction from best friends for a while; feel free to trigger it whenever suits you.

Apze posted:I've been having the most success in the current league with Bastiodon, Medicham, Shadow Victreebel, although I may swap Medicham out for Toxicroak. What movesets are you running on these guys? Do you think the Shadow boost makes a big difference for Victreebel? I’ve not been playing loads; have a decent ratio with my team but haven’t hit the higher ranks yet so looking for other ideas to swap to when the grind kicks in. Kantesu posted:
I’m still at a >70% win ratio overall, though it’s not working out as well as pre-season GL which I ended on about 95% with the same team. I guess it just works because of the blind format - it’s an easy team to counter if you know that’s what I’m running, but the majority of matchups don’t. It also helps that all three are reasonably tanky, and using the same team against the meta for so long means you learn what timings can/can't be taken safely. I also fancy trying a Mawile, but can’t decide which of mine to invest in:  I’ll probably end up going for the lucky one; even though it’s got the worst stat product it’s by far the cheapest option..

Hannibal Rex posted:Do you have enough candy? That was more of a limiting factor than the stardust for me. I'd level up the purified one. The numbers are stat product, max CP, stardust cost (not including 2nd move). I was focusing on the stardust cost but you're right, thanks, candy is the bigger pressure here. I'd heard a lot about Shadow Mawile being a beast, but looking at candy that's just unattainable for me  Looks like my best option is actually purifying one of the shadows - it costs 20k more dust but saves me 40 rare candies.
