I was unaware that there were pokestops in North Korea, this is wild. Got two from the same user yesterday and today. Just thought it was cool!

I caught my first Cubone with a background (El Día de los Muertos special event has started in Mexico), and I must say it’s beautiful and I’m really happy to have gotten it.

Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language. 😅

Non AR Screenshot It's not very often I don't want to catch a Pokemon. It's even more rare when I'm afraid it will catch me.

Had some of my best luck playing today and maybe scopely gave me some birthday luck, going for walks in the rain paid off and had a wonderful time celebrating today. Usually play extra during halloween since I'm a fan of costume pokemon. What are your thoughts on costumes in pokemon go?

Non AR Screenshot 10k route approved!

Post image
2.6k Upvotes

I've tried my hand at route creation and have had both of my attempts auto rejected, but they were close to a school and maybe that's an issue?

I ran a circuit around a local lake and had route creation engaged. The route was auto-approved which was really surprising. How long is your longest route that you've made or used?

I thought the community was more of a "400 m is long enough" so this was a pleasant surprise. I'll complete the maiden voyage today and am curious regarding how much XP and stardust it rewards.

Edit: Maiden Voyage complete: 4000 XP, 1000 Stardust, 3 Zygarde cells and 3 hearts with my buddy.

I don't even know what happened today. Checked my Age0&shiny search and I had TEN.

Vulpix (costume), Gengar (costume) x2, Noibat, Litleo, Duskull, Piplup (costume) x2, Pumpkaboo, Oinkologne

The double costume Gengar + green Noibat in like 30 minutes is insane. Best shiny day I've ever had by far.

Halloween event is treating me too well this year.

Kinda self explanatory, but not a lot of people know that you can do this. I’m working on my platinum medals to grind out these last couple of levels before i max at 80😮‍💨, so i just thought I’d share some tips i picked up along the way.
Feel free to share yours as well!

PS, also make a stop at your house & make your own routes (who said that? 😩)

Question Detective Pikachu Field Task

Post image
54 Upvotes

Hi all,

This might be super random, but I only came back to Pokémon Go after years of hiatus a couple months ago and, while I’ve loved getting super hooked to the game again, this has been bugging me.

I still have a research task from the original Detective Pikachu event in 2019.

From what I understand, completing the task would spawn an event-themed Pikachu with a detective cap, which I don’t have in my Pokémon library. That said, how often does Flareon spawn?

Outside of a wild spawn (which feels like a non-zero chance), the only other ways I can think of catching a Flareon to complete this task would be if it was a reward from different research (that’s how I got 1/2), if it was part of a raid, or if it’s part of a Team Rocket party.

I’m not sure how likely those are either, but they somehow seem less than a wild spawn. I’ve evolved plenty of Eevees into Flareons, and I don’t think trading would fulfill the task either.

Has anyone else encountered this, a similar situation, or does anyone have any advice?

Caught while in traffic!! I had the hardest time finding the galarian birds for the longest time. They just wouldn’t spawn but this one was by the Phoenix Suns arena.

I need to keep an XXL or two for showcase but i wish i could organise it by the biggest one and transfer the rest. I know you can work it out but seems a hassle to have to calculate it for every one

I’ve dumped about 10 so far and beginning to wonder if there’s a reason for the abundance of Pumpkaboo? Or are the growing conditions just perfect in my hood? I’ve searched archives and can’t see a reason to hold onto them for event purposes.
