If you have any questions about Pokemon GO (anything from basics to specifics of a certain mechanic), ask here! We also have a wealth of information available in historical posts, so try using the search bar. Or click the Discord link in our topbar and head to the #boot_camp channel - where helpful travelers are standing by to answer questions.
__________________________
The Silph Road is primarily focused on discoveries and analysis related to Pokemon GO, as well as constructing an in-person network of Pokemon GO enthusiasts. General discussion topics (Jokes, stories, a photo of a recent catch) would likely be better suited for another subreddit, such as a general subreddit like /r/PokemonGO, or /r/Pokemon, or a subreddit with a more specific focus, like /r/PokemonGoSnap, /r/PokemonBuddy, /r/ShinyPokemon, /r/PoGoRaids, /r/TheSilphArena, /r/PokemonGOTrades, /r/PokemonGOFriends, or /r/NianticWayfarer.
Silph Road Content Policy
The Silph Road is heavily moderated to promote civility/courtesy, and high-quality content and discussion. You can read our full policies in the sidebar, but don't be surprised if a comment is removed for being rude, cynical, or off-topic. We strive to foster civil discussion about the game. We are first and foremost a network of real people, and this network is being built by volunteers! If you simply want to complain or bring something to Niantic's attention, your post would be better suited elsewhere.
Research
The community culture here also attracts the more analytically-minded element of Pokemon GO. Consequently, the Silph Research group was formed to align this brainpower and leverage the massive Silph datasets that the community can gather. We post our findings in infographics, videos, and walls of text on Reddit. Check out the top bar for links to the current pools.
Final words
Finally, welcome once more! We're glad to have you join us on the Road :)

I know they planned on this but I want to double check that this is confirmed before I power up my GBL megas
Update: so I tested with a mega I didn’t care if it was over the CP cap and it does adjust the cp to under whatever league you’re entering. My Mega Sableye 0/14/15 is ready

Has there been any previous case like this for a costume shiny ?

This is your annual reminder: scroll through your pumpkaboo at a ghost showcase and take some screenshots so you can get rid of your excess xxl's if you have been stockpiling during the event.
r/TheSilphRoad • u/destiny023 • 5h ago
Reached out the night of the outage as soon as the game came back up. Was able to claim all the Xp as well. Will claim and pray to the shiny gods.

Howdy y’all! Hope this helps. The research is still available but, you’ll need to catch the various recommended streamers on Twitch. If you go to your “Drops” page, under “campaigns” you’ll find the list of streamers. Trisha is currently on and they’re going to try to stream as much as possible through the week. Make sure to follow the streamers to get live notifications if they aren’t online at the moment and make sure they’re streaming Pokemon Go. Once you’re done, you’ll need to go to the Pokemon website to redeem the codes. I’ll post in the pics as a guide. Don’t forget to hit “claim” on twitch!

I've been opening gifts all day, probably at least two dozen since 10 am when the Halloween event started, and I'm getting stickers but it's the same boring ones we always have. Has anyone gotten Halloween stickers today?
Edit: I guess I'm just having bad luck!
r/TheSilphRoad • u/Gaias_Minion • 14h ago
Just time-gated catch pokemon.
It took me about 15 encounters for a Cubone bg, can't try Party Play at the moment but maybe those encounters have higher odds.
r/TheSilphRoad • u/Meringue-Relevant • 2h ago
I know it’s not ground breaking but just a heads up.
Some of the things I’ve noticed that it does fix is the audio sound when tapping bubbles in GBL for example and it fixes that annoying gift scrolling bug.
