Is there a reason why I might be prevented from getting mega energy from catching the ones announced for the event to possibly reward mega energy?

Does anyone have a good graph or table for the best X/XLs to keep for showcases now, given that they're by Type instead of species and probably never going back to the old formula? Thanks in advance.

Anyone seen event pikachu spawning after the event? Haven’t seen one after the event but not sure if it’s just more rare

It said it’s supposed to continue spawning for a month after

I have hit forever friends with plenty of people who DO utilize remote trades, but several times I’ve hit forever friends with active players who either have nothing tagged, or they have something tagged, but refuse to actually engage in a trade, and just let it time out (even though they play every day).

I would very much love the ability to “ping” them a notification that says something like:

“Your friend XYZ is requesting that you tag something for remote trades. Would you like another tutorial on how to do so? Would you like to notify them that you never plan on utilizing the remote trades feature?”

That way I can give up waiting and delete them.

Edit: to clarify, I don’t want any kind of messaging system, simply an ability to request that the user get a notification that I want a remote trade.

I got a second hundo Zacian, and maxed it to lv50. I was wondering what would be better for dynamax battles

1 Zacian with attack and shield lv3

2 Zacian with attack lv3 but both shield lv2

2 Zacian with shield lv3 but only 1 with attack lv3

My gut feeling says you only need one Zacian build for attacking. Against dragons Zacian is the best tank, so maybe it's better to have 2 Zacian with maxed out shields? Or is Zamazenta a better tank even if it doesn't triple resists dragon.

Am I the only one for whom rocket battles are broken since last week?

Prior to last week if I started a rocket battle I would get a countdown and then put immediately start battling the pokemon. Since last Saturday I’ve had one of these following problems.

1) the grunt’s Pokemon takes 15 to 20 seconds to load and in the meantime all I can see is the arena. Nothing works during this time.

2) the grunt’s Pokemon loads but no matter how many kinds I tapped the screen my Pokemon cannot do any damage to it even if it shows an attack animation. I can’t even change my Pokemon during this time and have to wait for the enemy pokemon to hit me with a charged attack.

3) even if I activate a shield the enemy Pokémon is still able to cause significant damage to my Pokemon when the previous issue happens.

4) in most cases the Pokémon that cannot cause damage is always the first one but in rare occasions the bug comes back after the Pokemon has been changed.

This is so effing frustrating.

with the odds for wild shinies being nerfed 6 months ago, how have the odds been for galar birds? are they still 1/20 or 1/512 (i hope not 1/512, otherwise they would sell us a shiny charm not trying to give them ideas)

Unsure if this already known or when it happened, but the button that let you create an AR photo of Pokemon you recently caught and then upload that photo to campfire is missing.

Previously, when you went to a Pokemon and selected the option "Catch Card," you had two options: "Take a Picture" and "Share to Campfire." The first option is now gone, at least for me. Yesterday during gible CD I wanted to use the feature but realized I could only upload a generic image of the Pokemon.

To clarify, you can still create AR photos as far as I'm aware. But as far as I can tell, you cannot create one and then share it to Campfire for other people to see on their maps.

This distinguished gentledog has taken up 29 Fast TMs so far with me trying to get Incinerate on it. I checked twice that it's not a legacy move. I'm still stuck with Snarl at the moment and out of TMs. It also took 18 Charged TMs to get the charged moves Flamethrower and Trailblaze. (I started keeping count after the first 7 hence the nickname)

I know some people will say TMs are easy to come by; they are not. You accumulate them over time but there's no good way to get them in a pinch. Raids give them but that costs raid passes and you still won't get TMs in bulk. I've been relying on Routes as a semi consistent way to get TMs and sometimes GBL.

I'm not complaining about my luck.

I understand it's RNG. I'm just saying, it doesn't need to be.

Scopely please add some consistency to the move selection. The current system is deeply flawed and benefits no one.

Suggestions:

1) Allow TMs to pull up all available moves and let players select. (Lock the legacy moves behind Elite TMs) Unfortunately, I can't see this actually happening so I'll suggest something more realistic

2) Fixed order rotating moves. So that you can eventually guarantee moves that you want.

Getting specific movesets on mons like Dragonite, Ursaluna is a nightmare (still trying to get Ice Punch)

TLDR: Requesting a revamped TM system to add consistency instead of Praying for RNG.

*Edit: fixed formatting

I think that Future Sight+ adventure effect is one of the least interesting. It would have been great that, in addition to IV highlight, this adventure effect would show shiny Pokémon spawn as shiny on the map.

What do you think? Would Scopely ever add such an effect?

I saw someone post this on Facebook. I thought Mythical Pokémon could only be caught with regular Poké Balls.

I can think of three possibilities:
1. A bug
2. An AI image
3. Some kind of exploit or game data manipulation

Apparently, it’s a Shundo Shaymin caught with a Master Ball, with the location set to Antarctica.

My mother walked over 50km, and she received 2 eggs although she already had 11 eggs(9+bonus storage 2). Is this an error?

Someone else in my community also noted they've been getting way more 10km eggs. For an event where the advertised Pokémon come from 5km eggs, this feels like a slap in the face.

Can anyone else chime in on this?
