Écrémeuh is pretty great too. I moved to Québec, so it's tempting to change the language on my phone to French to help me learn the language, but I don't want to have to relearn all the pokemon names at the same time.

I don't want to be in a tragic situation where I know the French for Pidgey, but not 'light switch' .

Phoenix?

The outback is the inland desert part of the Australian mainland; Hobart is the major city on Tasmania, the island south of the Australian mainland. It's akin to asking telling someone in San Francisco that they're near the Grand Canyon because it's the same country.

I guess I'll just leave his account off for a day and see if that resets it. I'm assuming that's been tried and failed considering the size of the community and my googling coming up with no solutions.

Mine finally noticed I'd been catching for a few days - it flipped to 2 days in a row late yesterday. Guessing some really dumb off-by-one bug combined with a state keeping bug or...something. We'll see if it completes tonight or tomorrow.

Berrying gyms is by far the best way to earn gym XP

New gym popped by house. Golded in 16 days, was on the other side of town overnight for 5 of those days. Just berry the poo poo out of it.

I’m on holiday in France, and yesterday found a gym up the top of a mountain hike that had been held by one guy with his Jolteon for 375 days straight.

I really wanted to claim the place for myself, but the signal was so weak I started having login issues, then got hit by the “crash moments after loading” iOS bug. Reinstalling the app on a mountaintop with only an edge connection isn’t really feasible :(

I'm gonna have to go hunting tomorrow. I've taken the last two days to clean and reorganize my house and life to some extent. I feel like a random day of Pokemon hunting and low level raiding might be nice. I'm bummed I only hit one Ho-Oh raid. I know my sister is gonna be pissed because she didn't catch a Ho-Oh on the one raid we did. She's got autism and can't drive so her only way into town and Pokemon is my wife and I. Should I trade her my Ho-Oh since she missed out due to me not going in? I have the dex entry and that's all I care about, so I wouldn't mind giving her mine.

I finally bought a Gotcha yesterday. I have auto-catching disabled, and only auto-spin on. Even when right next to a stop, it won’t spin. It’ll just keep vibrating and telling me “Hey, there’s a Pokémon in range” and never actually spin the stop.

No, she needs to learn that not everyone gets a Ho-oh.

You disabled auto catching on the gotcha, not the setting in the app that tells the go+ (or gotcha) to catch Pokemon. The reason nothing is happening is because it's waiting for an input from you.

I have auto catch known and auto catch unknown turned off in the app. I also have auto catch turned off on the Gotcha itself.

Chairman Mao is talking about the in-game settings, not the setting in the Go-tcha companion app.

The game is still notifying you about 'mons nearby and expecting you to take a manual action to catch them. You need to turn off the in-game notifications (Settings -> Pokemon Go Plus -> Nearby Pokemon), then the game will only notify you about stops.

Changing the auto catching setting only changes whether or not the gotcha auto catches the Pokemon for you. You need to disable it in-game if you want it to stop catching them entirely.

Yeah as others said, there's two separate sets of settings.

* Go-tcha settings (done from the Gotcha touchscreen) - you should really just leave these be, and let it auto-catch and auto-spin. The only setting you may want to tweak is vibration. (I would leave it on, too, though.)
* App settings (set inside the Pokemon Go Plus sub-menu in the Settings menu). Use these to tell it if you want to catch pokeymans or not. Obvs you always want to spin pokestops.

If you only want to spin pokestops, you need to turn off Nearby Pokemon notifications in the app settings.

So my super-nice counterfeit pokemon go plus also has the autospinning mod built in. I've got pogo running on my phone at work and it lights up every couple of minutes from spinning a stop or catching a mon. Gonna be rolling in items soon. :c00l:

It uses red balls.

It hits item caps and won't let you spin, just like normal. It's annoying, too.

Most efficient for a star piece would be lining up your 7 day catch in a row, as many egg hatches, field task reward, raids and gift opening as you can on a community day or Moltres day

Triple stardust events are the best. Community days even without tend to be good, too.

I have two dozen or more, just taking up inventory space for me so it's basically whenever on my end.

Use them this weekend when they last a full hour and the stardust multipliers are live. Ideally, time your streaks/eggs/research for the star piece window as well. Otherwise just catch as much as you can.

With the exception of vibration being off, this is what I do. Doing everything through the in-game settings is the closest thing to how you would normally control the official go plus accessory.

I came within seconds of beating my first Machamp raid. There was the tiniest sliver of health left and when the timer hit 5 seconds remaining the raid ended. I almost threw my phone. Turns out it's a common raid problem.
