Willsun thanks for posting your handy list! I got a good Mewtwo today. And also a pig, a Snivy, Panpour, and Purrloin. Happy to have my Gen 5 friends.

rotinaj posted:With the pattern we have, they will definitely do Gible day. Maybe early next year. Good: catching a ton of Gibles and finally having enough candy to evolve the one I have into a Garchomp. Bad: Garchomp's shiny is utter rear end. It's categorically the worst kind of shiny: the one that's completely indistinguishable from the normal. I'll take ugly shinies over the indistinguishable ones any day. (Now shiny Mega Garchomp looks baller as gently caress but I have no idea how Niantic is going to handle Megas.)

Parrotine posted:Do you really think they're going to do megas after Game Freak gave them the axe this upcoming gen? Obviously I dunno, my dude. Why so aggressive about it?  I was just musing over a situation in which shiny Garchomp would be worthwhile to have.

Husband and I went from New England to French Polynesia for vacation and are grabbing as many local Pokemon as we can to trade each other for the gold Pilot badge. And Corsolas of course. Even then it's barely above 10,000 km distance.

Mewtwo Raid hour went well! Did 6 Raids and I caught them all! Husband got a shiny; I did not. It's ok. I now have a squad of psychic kitties so I'm happy. Hopefully I can get some Shadow Ball ones from EX Raids too. Now bring on shiny Origin Giratina. I'm ready.

Cowslips Warren posted:13 raids for me tonight. No shiny. I caught one on my mom's account when he was in town for a week, out of maybe 40 raids? I haven't caught a shiny Legendary Raid boss since Suicune. Did get a shiny Klink while on vacation though. I rarely get shinies outside Community Days.

I have a hundo Poliwag I rescued from Team Rocket. Which of its evolutions is more "meta"? If the answer is neither it's becoming a Politoed cuz Politoed is cuter.

parasyte posted:At least they're all one star so they're easily soloable. That's not the issue. If I use my free daily pass on a costume dude, that means I can't use it on a Darkrai. Not everyone is swimming in Premium passes enough that they can afford to burn their free daily pass on something frivolous.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:On the one hand, yes; on the other hand, the lack of shiny Darkrai means both A. it’ll inevitably be back with a shiny version eventually, and B. once you have your raid team of 6 darkrai, farming for more is 100% optional with very minimal ROI. You’re certainly not going to miss out on anything if you earmark 3 of your freebies for costumed starters. Hmm point. I had forgotten you can't trade them. That's hella dumb. The whole Legendary/Mythic distinction is dumb. Anyway this weekend I got costume Squirtle and Charmander and a Darkrai, so I'm in much better shape than I was. I'll keep a lookout for the last costume bro this week.

My game randomly stopped loading today. It boots up, but a couple seconds after it finishes loading, it just freezes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game and cleared the cache and whatnot, nada. I've contacted support but they just sent me a canned response about looking at the troubleshooting page. I tried everything on that page except the poo poo like unlinking my Google account from my phone, because no, gently caress you Niantic. This poo poo is your fault, not Google's fault. All my other poo poo works fine.

Gentleman Owl posted:I'm guessing yesterday's patch broke something for you (and if I know Niantic, plenty of other people too). Yeah it randomly started working again when I got home. Still missed out on a day of spinning the stops around my volunteer gig, stuffing dudes in the gyms, and my coworker was disappointed that I couldn't trade him a Chatot.

Smiles posted:got my fifth mewtwo ex-raid pass and the third i can actually attend, my best one so far has 10atk so hopefully i can nab a better one before regigas arrives I got an invite yesterday, my first since Mewtwo rotated into EX raids. And to boot it's on a day when I can actually be in town! I'm pretty stoked. I've done a bunch of Raids at EX gyms all month and nada. I'd have been pissed if it were for a Friday. Fridays I have a volunteer gig all day on the other side of the state. Sunday I'm not usually in town, but I don't mind making the trip for a Mewtwo. I even sent my husband an invite so he can come too!

DorkusMalorkus posted:I guess I didn't mind the two months of flower crown Eevee because at least those are easy as hell to catch. I'm already sick of wasting golden raspberries and ultra balls on an Articuno that I don't really want or need. Don't waste Golden Razzes on those. They can't run away. Just use the regular Razzes and regular Pokeballs, or Ultras. Or just run away if you don't feel like catching it right now. Definitely don't waste the Golden Razzes though.

Mustached Demon posted:Eh depends how often you raid and how good you throw. I have entirely too many goldens that I usually use on weather boosted stuff that I can't great curve well. Yeah, but the person I was responding to was lamenting about "wasting" Golden Razzes on Articuno. If they're worried about wasting them, presumably they don't have a lot to throw around. Personally I wouldn't blink at chucking a Golden Razz at a Pokemon that's being a pain in the rear end  but I can Raid a decent amount.

We were only out for an hour or so cuz it's cold out and I wanna play the real Pokemon game. Still ended up with 3 shinies, one of them 800+ CP and 3* which is now an Infernape, and a regular hundo of middling CP that I evolved anyway cuz I had enough candy. I also evolved the lucky Monferno I got ages ago. All in all, a good take for an hour. lol @ going back out there for the raid hour though. Not a chance.

I made out like a bandit on shinies and evolved a bunch of staters, a couple Flygon, and TWO Metagrosses and one Dragonite so that's nice. I'm still irritated that I didn't see a single Larvitar all weekend. Ended up 30 candy short on evolving my purified Pupitar after walking with it all month and scrounging for Rare Candies. Bah. I guess he'll still be good with Bite and Crunch but I wanted another Smacktar, dagnabbit!

Wheany posted:The second stage of this month's Team Rocket quest line has reduced purification requirements (5 vs 15 last month) and also you have to spin a pokestop only 3 days in a row (vs 5 days last month). Oh hey, so if you only purify Zubats and Rattatas, you only end up 2k Dust in the hole with the Dust from winning, catching, and the quest reward.  That's almost reasonable.

I even went into my phone settings and turned off camera permissions hoping it would get the message. It does not. Now it just bitches at me to allow camera access when I tap a 'mon, even though I told it to stop asking.

Johnny Joestar posted:looks like niantic maybe fixed their poo poo, because after a couple restarts and a few hours later the missing gyms are back Had something similar when I was out with my husband yesterday. We were walking to a restaurant that has a gym within range. He saw a gym tucked away in a parking lot that didn't previously have a gym, and I didn't see one there on my game at all. Then we got to the restaurant, and the gym there didn't show up on his game, even though I could see it on mine. And fight it and take it over. He restarted his game and the gyms were back to normal and he was able to put a dude in the gym along with me. Still weird. Cowslips Warren posted:I missed my chance to apply an Upgrade so it chose one at random fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Wayfarer. You will hear no argument from me on that. Wish I had a shiny 'karp, though. I have so many Magikarp candies and not a single golden fishie.

Just open the gift, I’ll take 100k experience or 200k experience, either way is fine. I'm not the guy, but if you just want your exp, you can force a friendship tick by sending that person an EX Raid invite.

seiferguy posted:Yeah its pretty funny when someone throws out a legendary to start and I'm like "you're mine, bitch" versus someone who throws out a skarmony and I'm like "aw gently caress." It's the same way in the mainline games. I would see teams full of legendary Pokemon and think "Ooh goodie! Fresh meeat!  " and run circles around them. It was the teams full of normal Pokemon I had to watch out for. Those would actually be a challenge.

I really don't like the research task events. Even if you go to an area with a lot of stops, hey it's winter in New England and it's loving cold out, you jerks! I spent about an hour walking around a middling sized city, got maybe a dozen rats. No shiny. I got discouraged after that cuz it was cold out and I wanted to go home!

Entropist posted:I constantly hit 20 gyms thanks to occasionally playing in the middle of nowhere. Hell, I'm still stuck in three gyms from last summer. Be careful where you put your mons when on holiday in rural areas! I saw some gyms out there that hadn't been flipped over in 700 days. Is there something special about defending 20 gyms at once? Most I've gotten at once is like... 5.

Oyster posted:I just noticed that I have two Shadow Moltres. I started the Shadow Zapdos quest in December but didn't catch him until January, then completed the Shadow Moltres quest all in January. I have been on the "find Giovanni" portion of the quest for weeks. And this is still the December version of the Rocket questline. I hit no less than 5 Rocket lairs while hunting for shiny Ryhyorn this weekend (didn't get any!) and every single one was a decoy. Took the long way around to get my lunch and hit up two more lairs today. Both decoys. I am extremely irritated with how little this game, and the Rocket quests in particular, respect your time. This is horseshit. It's winter in New England and I have a loving job. How much time does this game expect me to wander around outside in the cold looking for this rear end in a top hat?!
