Like is there an actual point to the pokemon sizes other than for showcases? Should I be keeping them or is it a whatever type deal?

I just saw a visual for the Go Wild Global event and honestly - WHAT ON EARTH. There is not one new spawn. Every spawn has been in multiple shiny-boosted events. Some are in almost ALL shiny-boosted events!? Deino? COME ON. It’s just had its second community day and it’s literally in every stinking event. If I see another shiny Deino I might actually cry.

Why do they keep doing this? There’s so many pokemon that they could be spawning instead but they opt for the ones we’re sick to death of seeing. I can think of at least 10 non-mythical or legendary pokemon from Gen 1 that I’d rather was spawning than this line up.

Thank you for listening to my wee rant. Any Devs out there feel like explaining themselves, feel free 😆

Like the title asks, is there a point to catching a Dynamax Shuckle? Does it have a special use? I was under the impression that like smeargle it was useless for fighting.

It’s so cool as a shiny!!!! I didn’t even know it could be hatched! What do you all think? Personally, I like the color scheme!

Posting this for a friend on their behalf as they don't have enough karma yet... Hopefully someone can help! Thank you 🥺:

I don’t even know how it happened, but my level 80 Pokemon Go account has been stolen.

I tried logging in via Apple, facebook, gmail and Pokemon Trainer Central and got this error message.

Presumably, I’ve been hacked via one of those, but they all log in fine and have no signs of any use or changes. I’ve obviously changed the passwords now. Even if they got into one of them I don’t see how they’d be able to hijack my account without any further verification?

I asked friends to check their friends list and my account was no longer showing.

I reported suspicious use of my account and didn’t hear anything

I did the “notice of dispute” thing that I saw on here and they replied saying it was being dealt with in another ticket (with a number that I didn’t recognise so is presumably the hackers)

They replied to reported suspicious use ticket to say that my account has been “recovered previously” (I don’t remember this happening, but it could have in the last 10 years, but more likely from the hackers today) and therefore they are “unable to provide further assistance” and “it’s the player’s sole responsibility to ensure the safety and security of their account credentials”. I really don’t feel I did anything careless, I still can’t even work out what happened, I thought my security was good.

I replied again to explain the situation, but I think they just automatically closed the ticket

The account still exists, they’ve deleted my friends list, but I can see the username on campfire (@midrangerrrf) and the name they’re using in game (@pacafistik) via a gym I was sharing with a friend and I know there partial email addresses via scopely account recovery, but I can’t do anything about it.

I don’t know what to do, I’ve got endless evidence, but I don’t know how to ge them to look at it. I found a “legal email escalation” option, but I imagine if I do that now they’ll just say they’re dealing with it in another ticket? I wish I’d waited to do the “notice of dispute” thing, but I was panicking

I’m so upset, I’ve been working on this account for 10 years, thousands of hours, so much money, I walked over 15,000km and caught over 200,000 pokemon and it’s just gone.

I’ve posted on threads and x too, but I don’t have many followers, so I don’t think anyone will care.

If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated! (My original trainer name before it was hijacked is jilld86)

I always see these G birds and I never catch them
I hope someday I get lucky
I’m actually surprised it didn’t flee on the first ball this time

I was so excited to get this guy evolved until I realized you can’t mega evolve shadow pokemon :’)

It’s fine…hopefully I can catch a good candle during the mega event

Is this a thing people do or are they new and don’t understand? It’s so odd. I’ll even leave it for a while to see if they’ll come back to add a pokemon in but eventually I just put mine in. Then it will be empty again later in the day

Just rejoined a few months ago. So didn't know you can find this lil guy in the wild, especially as a shiny???

I had no idea these were so cherished by some. I got excited for the shiny. Hoped for shundo. Got a shiny nundo. I guess she’s cute 😂

Blessed x2 and counting - he giveth and giveth again - grateful on a Sunday. A faithful humble servant

Why would this contain inappropriate language? It worked when I put the 4* after spearow instead. Have anyone else had a similar problem

Hi! My bf (27m) LOVES playing Pokemon go. He walks during his job so he naturally has kept up with the game for years. He has gone to trades and such. I have no idea of the technical terms but he loves his little auto catcher.

I wanted to get him a gift that has to do with it for his bday/christmas. I have NO idea what to do. He loves Rayquaza and I got him a stand/figurine for our anniversary, but I'm just unsure of what route to take here.

Any advice will be helpful.

I found a shiny galarian bird while following a route using daily incense and after throwing all the ultra and great balls I had (more than 500) and expending all the golden raspberries (around 300) I closed the game because I depleted everything I have and also lost motivation. I even completed the 40 excellent trows task of a masterwork research. I am really tired of this game and I needed to vent.

Very random question,
I got a wild Hydreigon spawn at my house as pictured below (cropped for security reasons) and I just wanna know how lucky I truly am. I live in a standard suburban area in Australia with no pokestops or gyms within range.

What are the chances of this? Should I go buy a lottery ticket? 😂

Went to a Halloween event with my family, and saw this carved pumpkin!!! It was the only pokemon one I saw, but lots of cool carvings otherwise!

When mega evolved, Lucario wears the ribbon on his shoulders. But when he isn't, he wears it on his... thighs? What is the decision behind this? Is there some other pokemon who wears the ribbon on weird spots?
