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?

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. 😅

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

Edit: I'm sorry all, I didn't know this was rare. I appreciate everyone letting me know, thank you guys.

I'm happy to have gotten a shiny so soon into my time playing Pokémon Go, especially of my favorite Pokémon, but I wish I could have been lucky enough to get a semi-good version of it. 😥

Question Detective Pikachu Field Task

Post image
109 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.

Non AR Screenshot These events always suck BUT... 10 shinies in one day?!

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? 😩)

56 Upvotes

It will show you the folks you can still earn a friendship point with that day, aka who you may want to prioritize sending gifts to. Especially helpful for people like me who don’t get out much and don’t get that many gifts 😅 I saw this posted here a while back in the comments on another post, but think it can afford to get some more airtime!

Complaint Pokemon Go is overdesigned

37 Upvotes

Every time you tap the screen too much of everything happens, be it an unskippable 3-second animation or the same sound that plays when you press anything in the same section. Why can't we skip the evolution sequence? Why does your buddy pokemon just stare at you for like 5 seconds before joining once it's fed? Do we really need to wait at least 30 seconds just to start a solo raid, then 10 more seconds before it begins, and then watch the defeated pokemon shrink just to end up looking as usual as if we didn't just kick its ass? After all, why are advanced graphics settings so far from being advanced? Why does every Team GO Rocket member have to 1) be fully displayed on the map; 2) say 4 separate lines AND hit 3 different poses before you can start the battle? Why is there still no option to mass accept and send gifts? What if I don't want to see pumpkins scattered around every damn PokeStop draining my battery x2? WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SLOW and don't even get started with the BUT MUH IMMERSION stuff. I've been playing since the release day and the gameplay speed didn't really bother me back then but now that I'm an adult who only has time to play on the way to and from work I'm irritated

Complaint Losing the balloons sucks so much

Post image

I've gone out to play all 3 days since reaching this task, and I haven't seen a single leader. I missed the balloon one day when I opened the game and I was busy in the morning and didn't get back on until it was gone. It's 3 rocket battles Michael, how long should it take? 5 days?
