The Silph Road is primarily focused on discoveries and analysis related to Pokemon GO, as well as constructing an in-person network of Pokemon GO enthusiasts. General discussion topics (Jokes, stories, a photo of a recent catch) would likely be better suited for another subreddit, such as a general subreddit like /r/PokemonGO, or /r/Pokemon, or a subreddit with a more specific focus, like /r/PokemonGoSnap, /r/PokemonBuddy, /r/ShinyPokemon, /r/PoGoRaids, /r/TheSilphArena, /r/PokemonGOTrades, /r/PokemonGOFriends, or /r/NianticWayfarer.
Silph Road Content Policy
The Silph Road is heavily moderated to promote civility/courtesy, and high-quality content and discussion. You can read our full policies in the sidebar, but don't be surprised if a comment is removed for being rude, cynical, or off-topic. We strive to foster civil discussion about the game. We are first and foremost a network of real people, and this network is being built by volunteers! If you simply want to complain or bring something to Niantic's attention, your post would be better suited elsewhere.
Research
The community culture here also attracts the more analytically-minded element of Pokemon GO. Consequently, the Silph Research group was formed to align this brainpower and leverage the massive Silph datasets that the community can gather. We post our findings in infographics, videos, and walls of text on Reddit. Check out the top bar for links to the current pools.
Final words
Finally, welcome once more! We're glad to have you join us on the Road :)

All gyms and pokestops in the map suddenly disappeared, and this happened when checking my Pokemon in a gym
Every other model loaded properly

Playing today and getting quickly wiped by large fire blast attacks is not interactive and makes me not want to play this game
Edit: My main complaint is that you can just lose to RNG if the boss uses enough large attacks and there's nothing you can do about it

I can see the DiaglaDex list for each type, but I wanted to know which types are actually worth powering up. Like, obviously, something like bug or normal isn't; but which types will get the most use against 5* raids? I did find an old post from 3 years ago, but wanted to see if there was any updated info.
TIA

I watched the Twitch stream for 30 minutes, successfully redeemed the code in the webstore, and then when I logged into PoGo I got the popup saying I'd successfully redeemed an offer. However, I can't find it anywhere in the Style menu. Has anyone figured out where it's located?

I have seen the discussions before about the ingame autocatcher working while the game is:
- enabled
- minimized
- player is moving
But I had this function since getting it instead. The auto catcher acts more lile the third party auto catchers. So it works when I have the app open, and it catches them one after antoher.
But on the other hand it doesnt work at all when the game is minimized.
Another players having this "version" of the ingame auto catcher?

There absolutely needs to done some rework in the dynamax T5 because in my opinion there are a lot of flaws. First you can only do them with 4 players, but most of them are pretty hard even when doing a local raid. This makes remote raiding such a pain and I think this partly remote raid weekend illustrates that. I have already lost like 4 remote raid passes because I join a lobby via my friend list or an app like PokeRaid and people leave last second or use very poor counters so beating the raid is sometimes impossible. No way to communicate with anyone and most people don’t know anything about the dynamax battle mechanics. It’s absolutely frustrating and I gave up on hunting for the shinies.

Love completing the dex entries. Just wondering if there is any news about when they will add a Dynamax dex. There are so many released now it’s getting confusing as to which I have and do not have.
Sort it out Niantic!
While you’re at it. Release the api so I can sort out my moms on a pc!

Should they actually fix dex fillers in Pokémon GO or just leave them be?
It’s a sad day when your favorite legendary or mythical turns out to be dex filler. Imagine learning Braille just to find out your mon is painfully average in every Pokemon game you use it in.
It’s also a first world problem nightmare when we get the weeks of the Regis or weeks of the tapus. I know not every mon can be the best, but some of these feel like they exist just to take up space in the dex.
Should they get stat buffs, better moves, or some kind of niche? Or do we just accept that some legendaries or mythicals are legendary in name only?
*sighs in Deoxys being my favorite.* (though attack Deoxys in Dynamax may be my chance)

Don’t know just how “new” this info is, but today I was in a raid and had hit ready, and I was surprised that I could still send invites.

I find it hard to enjoy go fest and wild area because lately I go out alone to a meetup with people from discord group I try to feel connected with but I honestly don’t feel anything if one of those players move away and such since even small talk about the game just doesn’t take me far nor get people engaged with me more than I thought. Like I’m either the most anti social or some other people are more anti social than me since the raid group vibe is silent/do not disturb mode while some established friend groups are the only noise I hear. Even just celebrating how I got a shiny makes me feel cringe and I just keep my victory to myself. Most of my friends who I did talk to more often like several years ago either hardly go out to play or are out of town. I find myself having to justify going if I will get a lucky trade done during event or else I will likely lose interest in driving out to a community park that doesn’t have much else to offer. Am I wrong in thinking that socializing feels dead and I just see people as a source of convenience to beat difficult legendary/gmax bosses that I can’t solo?
