    I had given up on catching a shiny Cubchoo, but now I finally found one, and she has a bow 😍

    This makes me happy lol

    Note: The holiday event starts Dec 22nd 8am local time. I'm in New Zealand so it started today for us 🙂

    Is it just me, or have all pokeballs been nerfed recently?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 05:03 AM PST

    It feels like the last few weeks I've seen all levels of pokeball become less able to catch even low level pokemon. I've just had to use 3x pokeball, 3x Ultraball, 2x Pinap berry, 2x Razz berry and finally 2x Golden Razz berry...

    ...to catch a 455cp Vanillite

    This really does seem to be the norm for me of late, everything breaks out of the ball without much struggle. Excellent curveball be damned!

    Is anyone else just completely done with non-evolving costume pokémon?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 06:12 AM PST

    I either transfer them immediately or don't even bother catching them because they're almost completely worthless. Why can only some costumed pokémon, mostly Pikachu/Pichu variants, evolve? It just doesn't seem fair at all.

    Either let them all evolve or stop making them, Niantic.

    You can now sort friends list in Pokémon Go by "Can Receive a Gift"!

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:11 PM PST

    Finally, Niantic has decided to give us something that we've been asking for a long time! You can now sort your friends list by those who can receive a gift. This makes gift giving so much easier. Sort by "Can Receive a Gift"

    [brag] Wait, I thought y'all said 12km eggs were bad?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 07:48 AM PST

    This is it, guys. This is my peak. My third-ever 12km egg.

    Quick googling tells me there's around a .0085% .0135% chance of a 12km egg being a perfect Deino. If I math'ed correctly, that's about a 1 in 12,500 chance 1 in 8000 of a 12km egg being a perfect Deino. Please correct me if I'm wrong and good luck with your next eggs!

    FINALLY, after 600+ grunts and leaders today I got a shiny shadow Scyther :)

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 07:07 PM PST

    It took me 600+ grunts and leaders to get a shiny shadow and it came in the meowth balloon. I got to a point where I was doing the leaders without expecting anything so when I saw the shiny Scyther I almost swallowed my tongue.

    Question about Kanto Tour!

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:50 AM PST

    So, I bought the Kanto Tour ticket, and none of my friends are gonna buy it. So I was wondering, if one of the tasks is tot trade with someone in the opposite version, can you pick red/green even without the ticket? Because if not, then I'm screwed.

    Question in summary: if you don't buy the Kanto Tour ticket, can you still pick red/green?

    Thanks.

    My question has been answered! Thanks everyone!

    New Pokemon harder to catch than legendaries

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:07 AM PST

    As the title suggests, in recent times whenever Niantic releases a new pokemon , the catch difficulty is somehow set to max. Im tired of seeing bunnelbys and littleos with the max red catch rings(even with ultra balls) and then expending ultra ball after ultra ball trying to get them. The same thing has happened with vanillite.If it was only for a week i would maybe understand (not really, just taking into account ninatics capitalistic greed) but the same max catch rings persists months into a new release.

    Niantic probably has yet to understand that not all their players are whales and live in pokestop dense areas and that pokeballs are a scarce resource for rural players (i know theres an increased gift opening amount right now, but this is a general case), especially since people are being forced back indoors as the pandemics aftershocks start to hit.

    Rant over, hope something gets done about this (although looking at how quickly they rolled back the earlier covid bonuses as well as the fiasco that is remote raid passes this will probably fall on deaf ears)

    Pain is when a rare mon spawns and you cant get to it...

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 03:19 AM PST

    I would never have believed it to be possible but I actually had a salamence show up in my feed. Sadly I couldnt reach it, so this all the evidence I have that a pseudo legendary indeed can spawn in the wild:

    Make stickers less useless by turning them into a helpful (but optional) tool instead of annoying and pointless cache filler.

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:02 PM PST

    STICKERS ARE USELESS and ANNOYING and only SLIGHTLY less pointless than buddy gifts, currently.

    TL;DR: I would love to be able to send stickers with actual HELPFUL or useful 'stock' messages on them, as opposed to the weird/confusing "thank you thank you thank you!", "Oh yeah!" or "BYE!" stickers (thank you for what? is that happy "oh yeah" or sinister "oh yeah"? and wait, bye to WHO? am being unfriended? what?? 😭 lol yall know.)


    NON-TL;DR elaboration for bored folks with longer attention spans... possible examples:

    🔹Players who are not worried about XP can send a sticker that says "Open gift any time!", allowing lower level players to level up friendship and not waste days trying to track people down.

    🔹Conversely, somebody who really wants to make sure they have an egg going could send a sticker that says "PLEASE COORDINATE =)" when they approached milestones.

    🔹Players who have been away from the game for a little while and worry about getting it removed from other people's lists can send a sticker with a gift that says "Don't worry, still here!".

    🔹Players somebody may not know in real life and could never utilize lucky trades or anything with might be able to send a sticker with an x on it to let the other person know it's okay if they remove them from their friends list to create space...I've kept many people who weren't participating as much with gifts and didn't care if they had less friends, but I wanted to be courteous.

    🔹Players trying to complete a task or gain badge battles or something could send a gift with a sticker that said "PVP anytime please!" or similar

    🔹If Niantic were to bless us with the ability to trade longer distances in the future, sending stickers with "trade today?" Or similarly could help people clear out local lucky trades they want to make but can't coordinate because they only know the person by their Pokemon name and cannot contact them

    🔹 other cute things! ones that may not exactly useful but are still relevant, for example "nice username!" or "I love your buddy Pokemon!" or "your avatar's outfit is cool!" Beyond that, obviously stickers of just a Pokemon character without any particular message, or seasonal stickers, that's whatever.

    Sorry that was long, I just really hate the sticker mechanic & get mildly furious once in a blue moon when I remember how many I have and that I can't delete any of them. If you're going to force me accumulate something I don't want and don't need to use, at least let me delete it. pleeeeease?

    anyway, thank you for coming to my rant-y TED Talk. lol ❤️

    is there any real reason that i should keep event pikachu?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 06:23 AM PST

    i have about two dozen or so pikachu from the various little hat events and they take up a good block of storage space, ya know? some of the earlier ones can evolve but most them don't and their stats are pretty bad anyway. is there any real reason that i should keep / not transfer them?

    Giftable is the best update of 2020

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:43 PM PST

    It's the gift I never knew I wanted, but has changed my life forever.

    Being able to search for giftable friends or to sort my list by those that can receive gifts. I didn't think they'd ever make this a thing but it makes my life SO much easier.

    So thank you. Best update ever.

    I really miss challenging Special Research

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 02:56 AM PST

    This has been on my mind for a while, but I really miss having something difficult to kind of 'plug along' on. I was never a hyper competitive player that tried to get through all the research asap, I like it let it play out as I played, but it gave me a bit of focus day to day.

    This Shiny Celebi is the first special research we've had in ages and the hardest part was waiting for the right balloons to show up. It was only 4 stages long. Ugh. I just miss actually having to put effort in and having a few things to remember to do each day.

    Just a big thanks

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 06:21 PM PST

    I just said this in a comment to someone but decided to put it out here.

    I wish I had known this reddit community existed a long time ago. I just found it a week or so ago. I have learned so much that I didn't know about the game and gotten more help and kindness from others.

    Even made a few new game friends who are actually interacting with me with gifts and remote raids. It's made it more fun for me. I'm on disability and spend 90% of my time in my home. So interaction is a good thing for me 😁 even if we aren't really talking I still feel a bit more connected. Hope that makes sense.

    I know it's sappy but I'm happy 😂😂😁

    What's with high level players (lvl 38-40) dropping low CP pokémon (~300) in gyms to defend?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 08:16 PM PST

    I'm not sure if it happens where you're at, but I'll take over a gym and have two or three Pokémon below 300 CP dropped in by players over lvl 38.

    Update: Some interesting comments, I didn't think about Pokemon getting stuck in gyms since I live in a city where it's pretty fierce competition... You can have a gym with six high CP Pokemon (~2500+) and someone will come after you within 2 hours

    Really Intresting to see that some of the rank 10 poses were in this. The level 45 Special Research reward pose is there too.

    Just shared this so that we can revisit this and also since many players might not have seen this before. Personally I only saw this post some months ago.
