You either have friends who STILL haven’t tagged Pokémon for trading or you get friends who expect the world but provide nothing in return. So aggravating.

Shoutout to the people who actually understand remote trading, I didn’t think it was a difficult concept but apparently it’s not easy to comprehend.

I think Pokémon GO might actually be over for me.

My goal/enjoyment for the game has been completeing the Pokédex. I’m at the point where I’ve completed Kanto and Johto, and I’m only missing a handful of Pokémon from the other regions, but the remaining ones are things I missed or they’re region-locked.

Getting them basically requires me to keep logging in every day, checking events, checking schedules, etc., just in case the one thing I need becomes available. Or grinding friendships for trades, which seems… 🤷‍♂️

At this point, it’s just added screentime. It’s continued daily engagement for months or years waiting for specific releases. And it feels like the game is jerking me around because I’m finding the monthly challenges are really effective at getting me to log in, but what’s it all for??

Does anybody relate?

I live in a very small town that doesn’t have a lot of people playing GO anymore, and I don’t have any irl friends living nearby to ask to download the game for me. Are Parties completely off the table for me, since I don’t have anyone physically nearby? I’ve just gotten back into GO after taking a long break (stopped playing around 2021) and been working away at the missions, so knowing there’s a whole category of missions I can’t complete is a real bummer.

Don't know what the rates are but could have fooled me that they are boosted at all. I have a few from a community day from forever ago. Event done as far as I'm concerned.

I’m maybe just a little irritated… Fennekin is one of my favorite shinies and I missed the Community Day due to work a while back.

Shiny Mega Delphox rides for Team Instinct!!!
Is this combo one of the first ever???
✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨

Location is the red sea mall in jeddah for those curious(im actually there)

Theres literally so many gyms i cant even click on specific ones how do yall deal woth that

Is it just me or does it feel like someone over at Scopely didn’t flip the switch for the increased shiny rates if you have the deluxe pass?

I feel like the wild spawns for the starters still have the 1/500 chance to be shiny and that for the Mega Raids it’s 1/125. Neither of which are “increased” shiny odds. I would’ve expected 1/125 for wild spawns and 1/64 for Mega Raids.

Idk it might just be my luck for this event but it just seems off, I haven’t gotten a shiny (wild or raid) since the event started.

It’s a noob question I know, but I just started playing. What am I supposed to do with all the Fennekins? Is there any reason to save them, or should I transfer them and get candy?

Also, my shiny is 2*. Should I still evolve it?

So my husband and I are completely different on this, but wanted to see what other people do.

When it comes to taking gyms, do you guys wait the 8 hours so others can get their coin before taking it, or disregard that and take it whenever? Not judging either way, just curious! I typically will wait until someone hits the 8 hour mark before taking the gym, but my husband will take it regardless

Just a late PSA to the players who dont know better:

1. Armoured Mewtwo is coming back.

2. there were a lot of players who hoarded them and asked for RIDONCKULOUS kinds of trades just to give one out, or sold them for money

3. you have a Limited amount of Guaranteed lucky trades, its on a hidden counter, google it and youll find a better explanation.

4. the hoarders, if theyre smart (smarter) will try to get their stocks out to those who know nothing. dont fall for it.

Good luck and have fun while also staying safe out there.

1. dont over spend on AM2. its not that good and its not rare.

2. AM2 will NOT BE SHINY.

3. Am2 canNOT mega evolve. (as of now, simply because of different stats.)

Just got my Frist level 50 today and was wondering how many level 50 people are sitting on and is there. Good way to earn xl candy for Pokemon.

Decided to risk it and purchase the deluxe. What do yall think? Was it worth it? So close to a shundo. Lol

Love my mother but damn this is funny
