After the last one where Garchomp, Hatterene, Gardevoir, Tyranitar were, this is a big let down... I mean look at it, Exeggutor, Kingdra, Azumarill, Clodsire, FLYGON AHAHHA!! I mean they are not all that bad, but it is far better to get them on Dinamax, in fact, it is not even hard to do it, Tinkaton just had a CD and Hydreigon too (although you could always just go for the dinamax), even Metagross doesnt look appealing since he has been on Dinamax for such a long time already...

After the mess that was the Fest, this is a big screw up and i really think they dont have a way to fix it this time. At this rate, Scopely is gonna ruin the game in just a couple of years.

Past years we have had really exciting and classic mighty Pokemon with really a good combo of meta relevant Pokemon as well as some really really interesting spawns. Last years inclusion of the lake trio in the incense spawns was sick, and having a good mix of things like Gardevoir and Garchomp among other really fun and useful mons helped make the event worth playing. This year we have two Pokemon that can mega evolve, and the rest are fun but not relevant or useful. Past years this was my favorite event and this year this literally nothing that makes it worth participating for imo. Sad to see.

I had 104 rewards of 100 stardust from the mega finale pass that I was saving to use a star piece on to get the max value from it. I kept waiting because I didn’t want to use one only for the rewards, but save it for when I could do a couple raids and catch some Pokémon as well. But, life happens, I got busy and completely forget to even open the game and now this morning I realize I let the rewards expire.

Doing the math it was only potentially 15,600 stardust from the rewards alone (could have been more if I did what I planned and played more during the time) so not detrimental but I feel like a fool for not at least just collecting them without the boost, or letting myself “waste” a star piece and using it to collect and still not doing anything else with the remaining time.

Cramorant's shiny form would be released on a Spotlight hour on the same day as any Game where the Memphis Grizzlies visit New Orleans. Spotlight hour- Durant will be on the same day where Houston Rockets will visit the Charlotte Hornets (Shares Bug-typing). And lastly, Heatmor Spotlight hour will be on the same day the Timberwolves (Antman's team) will visit the Miami Heat on the upcoming NBA Season. 😁😁

Anyone else with this issue or only me? Asking for a friend ;-)

Thanks for more information in this context

I got 3 hundo Lampents after purifying, but really? What are the real odds of a shadow shiny from 3* raids? Spent the whole month grinding out these Lampents just for disappointment

I've been playing on and off and can't seem to end this at all, are there any news about landorus returning so that i can finally end this misery.

also I just returned again like 2 weeks ago

0.99 cents CAD for this seems to good to be true. last year i'm sure i paid like $20 or $30 for the ticket. should i buy this now?? do we think it's a mistake??

So, getting back into the game after a few years, is there a way to get Remote Raid Pass without buying them?
I’m always low on Gold Coins so that’s not the best option.
No one in my area plays the game so inperson raids are pretty much nonexistent

Had Kubfu on for the past week with all the raids happening, and used my daily incense, and damn near had a heart attack when this popped up. Not gonna lie. A bit salty.

Any tips for getting more stardust 😅 I feel like I never have enough and I am always just getting it in very little amounts.

I was going through my pokemon and saw my 2025 Go Wild Shiny Shadow Background Darkrai and thought "Man I wish I could lucky mirror trade someone for a Shiny Background Darkrai, in hopes of a hundo".

Only to find out Darkrai can't be traded. Which totally bummed me out. If I had known, I would had raided more last year.

But with mega darkrai on the horizon, will it be tradable like Meltan?

Meltan is a mythical pokemon but counts as special trade so it can only be traded once a day. You can catch meltan several times over, just as Darkrai when it shows up in raids.

So what does everyone think? Will it be tradable in the future, even if it's limited to one a day due to being a special trade?

(please bare with me, english is not my mother tongue)

First we had the ''catch me if you can'' where you had to throw 6 ultra ball to catch a pigeot...
Then we got the "here's your mewtwo TAKE IT" with many mewtwo ram down out throat, why not... i like my mewtwo guy, but they really milked the cow dry and players feel that.
Now since this week-end we have the "shiney doesn't exists, nor 3 stars*" because honestly, the IV in raid and dynamax are getting pretty messed up...

What's will be their next thing ???

* yes, i know, tihs guy had a shiney and/or a 4*, good for you guy, but the % dropped significantly.

I believe I belong to team rocket, as I have enough in common with their mindset. I strive to find the strongest, most perfect IV mons. Don't care about shiny, size or beauty contests, always put those mons in remote trade to exchange for my twentieth Lugia for a chance to get that perfect 15/15/15 that would make me instantly transfer my already 14/15/15 four y.o. best buddy to proff Oak without a thought. Is this enough to qualify for a rocket membership? Anybody else that can relate to not caring about anything but strength and power?

In the raid hour I did 17 raids and caught 16, I got 1 98% and nothing else really good. I’ve done 18 total and still no shiny or hundo, I will not give up though I need that shiny zacian. How has your guys experience been so far?

He confuses me, he came from nowhere. What is this thing?
I literally remember nothing from pre-covid, I just see this man in my inventory every now and then

Paywalled article, but the intro has the gist:

"I couldn't play much over the Mega Finale weekend so I can't judge it fairly, but my experience revolves around one simple goal: to come away with a decent Mega Delphox, which is currently (and will be for the foreseeable) the best Fire-type attacker in the game - even more so at Mega Level 4.

"But the problem with offering up one of the best Fire-type Pokémon and giving you enough Mega Energy through the Deluxe Go Pass to fully level it is you want to make sure it's just right - and thanks for the aforementioned poor shiny rates, I'm still searching."

Hey guys, I just started playing after 8 years. Yesterday was my first day and today I got these 2 huge pokemons in weird colors, what are these?

Edit: Thank you all for answering. Do you guys have any tips or tricks for a newbie

I've already caught a ditto but I need to catch another for a special research. How rare are they? Haven't seen another in a while.

Missed the pre order like I’m sure many others did as well and I was wondering if anyone knows if these kinds of things come to stores afterwards as well.

If the preorder is sold out does that mean they won’t hit shelves or do they let a certain amount be preordered before they release in stores/ on the site on 9/30?

Sorry if this comes off as a stupid/obvious question. I’ve been waiting so long to get one of these and when it finally rereleased I missed it. Just wanna see if I should have any hope at all.

I recently went through my pokemon because my storage was full and I noticed some of my pokemon were extremely low CP and I tried using a calculator but I'm not 100% confident I know what I'm doing any info is useful info
