    Please read this post regarding the rules of the sub before posting

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 04:49 AM PST

    As we hop into the new year we are making a bigger effort to curb rule breaking posts before they happen. We hope that an education effort will help and have already started with an auto mod message DMing all posters a link to the rules with a message about rule 2b and rule 3 being the most broken rules of the sub so they have a chance to self regulate.

    The rules for the sub are available here in their entirety, but I will break them down into shorter versions in this post for everyone

    So here we go

    Rule 1: Be kind, Be civil, Don't be a creep, don't witch hunt.

    Rule 2a: All posts must be relevant to Pokemon Go, and not simply Pokemon in general. This means that art, crafts, memes, must use assets from Pokemon Go. This means your meme templates need to have something from Go in them. Simply saying something is related to the game is not enough, you must show us it is related to the game if you are posting images.

    Rule 2b: Non AR INGAME SCREENSHOTS and VIDEOS must be posted as a link in the BODY of the post, supported by 100 characters (not 100 words). This formatting rule only applies to Non AR ingame screenshots and videos, and not memes, art or AR images.

    Rule 2f: Please do not share trainer codes for any reason. There is a dedicated subreddit for that, as well as a Discord.

    Rule 3: No cheating. Do not tell others how to cheat, where to get advice on cheating, or how you do or have previously cheated. Play the game the way the creators intended. These are the trainer guidelines as defined by niantic

    Rule 4: Don't spam. If you want to share a Discord, Etsy, website, survey, give away, etc ask permission in modmail first. Unless your group page offers something unique that an affiliated sub or discord doesn't, you will likely be denied, but we are always open to hear about new ideas.

    Please remember this is only a short breakdown of the bulk of the rules, and that the rules in their entirety are available in the hyperlink above.

    Now, a lot of users ask why to some of these rules so here we go. Here is one resource to the why.

    Rule 1: Because nobody likes jerks. We are all here because we love the game. If you have a problem with a user on Reddit, modmail us, if you have a problem with a trainer in the game, contact Niantic. The user base is not here to fight any battles for you.

    Rule 2a: There is another Pokemon sub of equal size. If you want to show off your cards, plush collection, surprised Pikachu meme, general Pokemon drawing etc, it is better suited there. We obviously don't want content that has nothing to do with the game either, there are like a million subreddits, find the right one if it has nothing to do with PokemonGo.

    Rule 2b: We have a bot that removes non ar ingame screenshots and that is literally all it does. It is about 50 percent effective, and still performs something like 10k actions a month. The bulk of our human moderation is honestly catching what it misses. The subreddit would be overwhelmed with non ar screenshots, and essentially useless if we did not attempt to mitigate this through forcing users to post them differently than other images. The alternative to this rule is to simply ban non ar screenshots.

    Rule 2f: Similar to rule 2b, when friend codes first came out, and about every time there is a make 3 friends mission, the sub gets flooded with requests. The automod is much better at catching these than Magic eye is at non ar screenshots so you don't see it, but the spam can get pretty significant, even in the comments on top level posts that have nothing to do with friends codes we see dozens of automatically removed attempts to share codes.

    Rule 3: No one likes cheaters. Even if there is some justification for cheating, like say, there is a pandemic and going outside is risky for your health, the risk to your account is not worth it, and we do not want to be responsible for spreading information that may result in bans. If you are unable to play fair, don't play until you can. There are lots of other games that you can play in the meantime.

    Rule 4: We are not here to make money for any one, we don't make money being moderators. We want anyone who is turning a dollar off linking to this sub, to also be an active member. We want any one using this sub to do research to be verified to some level so we know users aren't being sent to risky sites. We don't want to direct users to cheating groups, and a fractured community is not very beneficial to most users, so we want to peak at any Facebook, Discord, Telegram or similar group before allowing it to be posted. There are already a few well established groups out there, and the affiliated discord is run by different moderators than this subreddit.

    As a warning to all users, we have started issuing short bans for minor rule violations because the rules have been excessively ignored in the past.

    We have a 0 tolerance stance on cheating in this sub and bans are significant to permanent for all rule 3 violations.

    Please enjoy my Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto Infographic!

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:43 AM PST

    Which color should you pick for Kanto event.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:09 AM PST

    I created a Google Sheet to easily check which shinies and how many of them you are missing from the Pokémon that are exclusively boosted to specific version.

    • Go to here, then 'Make a copy'.

    • Check the boxes from which you have a shiny.

    • At the bottom there is number for each version that shows how many new shinies (for you) that version has exclusively.

    • Darker color = shiny rate is boosted.

    • Ligher color = shiny rate is boosted & exclusive spawn to that version via incense.

    Sprites are from LeekDuck's website.

    Which upcoming raids are worth doing?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:40 AM PST

    With lots of countries in lockdowns now, and 6 tier 5 raid bosses before the end of February. As a newish player, what's worth prioritising?: - MewTwo - Zapdos - Moltres - Articuno - Latias - Latios

    Where should I spend my limited raid passes?

    Possible coins rework?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:37 AM PST

    I'm expecting a fair few downvotes from people who don't agree and that's fine, as long as I find people who agree.

    I live in an area that's pretty much controlled by team Mystic (I'm Valor) and I make around 14 coins per week. Every day I'll go for a walk with my friend (also Valor) and we'll capture all the nearby gyms. The problem with this is that as soon as we capture gyms and leave our Pokémon there, the gym is recaptured by Mystic writhing 10 minutes.

    This causes me to make a minuscule amount of coins while also frustrating me to an extreme amount. Being honest, I just made this post to see if there's any other sufferers of this. I have been considering saving up 1000 coins to be able to switch teams and being able to finally make coins, even if i want to stay on my team.

    Personally I'd like to see more ways to make coins for players in rural areas or areas dominated by a certain team who have no social or home life. Possibly special pokecoin research or something like that.

    Tl;Dr: pokecoins too hard to grind in team dominated areas, possible rework/alternate sources

    I've been playing PoGo since only a few days after it launched but I've never participated in the Battle League. What advice can you all give me before I get started? Pokemon? Teams? Strategy? Anything is helpful. Thanks!
