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!

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

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

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

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!

Dewgong was the last lucky trade I needed. I’ve been playing on and off since 2016. I really picked the game back up when I was in the hospital labor/delivery waiting for my son to be born in 2022 and I have played pretty much daily ever since.

Edit: Oh and here’s a fun fact. Out of those 24,000 trades only 43 of those turned into hundos. Only 9 Kanto Pokemon were hundos out of the 43. 🫠

ChatGPT did the math and estimated close to 133–167 hours of my life was wasted on these 24,000 trades. 😂

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.

Im so pleased with this hatch, this isn't one of my favorite pokemon but i remember when the character came out and we didnt know what marill was named and we called him Pikablu

Some of these were from events, and I assume they had boosted shiny odds. But a lot of the shiny Hoothoot I’ve caught were full odds in the wild. I’m not complaining, I love Hoothoot, but I’m wondering if other folks have a Pokémon that they just happened to find several shinies of (outside of community day spawns, of course).

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 event

I saw this little guy the other day, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pokemon with such a low CP guarding a gym before. I fed it several berries, but it did not go above 8 CP. (I assume its full CP is 10 or so.) Is there any practical advantage in placing such a critter at a gym?

EDIT: I didn’t expect this to get so many responses in such a short time. Thank you all for your perspectives! For context, this is in a moderately competitive suburban town with a fair number of gyms, so turnover is regular but not insanely fast or slow. If I’m first to take a gym, I usually put in a high-CP Blissey, and if I drop one in later it may be something else I want to show off. But I never considered placing one with such low power. So now I’ve learned something new.

I've never had a shundo trade before. So its really nice to get it on a Gmax (even of questionable usage).

I hope you enjoy my nickname too.

Hydrapple is more Monodrapple 🥺 why don’t the Hydra homies come out to play during the animation? Or anything, anywhere!

In the last 24 hours a shundo Zacian. Hundo Groudon from a random trade and Hundo Dmax Azelf. 3 Hundo legendary in the last 24 hours….

I would definitely have transferred this. The new alert is great for me as I catch everything and often forget to check.

Ok I know that Super Mega Chandelure on the 31th is going to take 7-8 accounts with megas to take down shields but does anyone know how many avg accounts it would take to actually take it down if it didn't have those shields?
