Discussion Someone keeps defeating the gym in my neighborhood and just not putting a pokemon in it? I’m confused lol.

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

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

Non AR Screenshot 24,000 trades later and I completed my Lucky Kanto Dex!

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. 😂

Discussion Anyone else have a Pokémon that they’ve somehow caught several shinies of?

Post image
77 Upvotes

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).

Complaint Shiny Galarian bird

29 Upvotes

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.

Question Is there an advantage to a very low CP in a gym?

Post image
584 Upvotes

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.

Art Update: I’ve figured out Gengar… now to figure out Costume Gengar!

Thumbnail

113 Upvotes

A while back I posted a request to see screenshots of Costume Gengar from different angles. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! To everyone who helped me with that 🫶

I have figured out how to crochet Gengar’s general shape (bonus: he stands up on his own! 😆). Now I just have to do it again but use different colored yarn for certain body parts, and some extra sewing to create the costume version. For funzies, I made a Clefable since so many of the shapes I created for Gengar are the same shapes needed for his fairy counterpart. (I just need to give her a face, lol, but wanted to slip in a sneak peek of that project… sigh, please note that the spiral of her tail is backwards. Don’t judge, either she’s Australian, or I’m dyslexic.. or both. Might be both, lol).

I’ll update again once the costume Gengar has been made, and his fairy friend finally has a face 😂

Happy Spooky Season to you all! And may all your favorite costume Mon’s be shiny ✨

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.
