I have a google Pixel, is there something I need to enable on the OS for this to work? I don't normally track my steps, and I was unaware if it's doing it in the background or not.

Download Google Fit if it's not already there. Enable Adventure Sync in Pokemon Go. Should work.

Is there somekind of lvl limit? Can't find the option in Pogo. I'm 33.

It’s currently only rolled out to level 35 or higher, that limit will come down over time

Seems km accumulation is back to how it was a year+ ago where it was much easier to rack up km with shorter distances.

I'm curious if putting your phone in an electronic baby swing to gain steps/km will work.

How do you guys find local Discords? Facebook? Reddit? The one for my area seems oddly dead relative to the amount of gym and raid activity I see in the wild, and I'm wondering if there is a more active one I'm missing

Honestly, I typed in Arizona Pokemon GO Facebook and it had a link to the AZ Pokemon Go discord, and it's active. Probably include where you are in florida since I'd imagine your area would be flooded with players.

I keep having a weird issue that I've been unable to find anything about though - whenever I catch a non wild pokemon (from a raid, or reward from research etc), the next time I catch a pokemon the 'ok' button on the screen afterwards doesn't work, I have to force close the app and reopen to get past that screen. I don't seem to lose anything but it's pretty frustrating.

My girlfriend's account is currently on her old iPhone so I can do raids for her in the city, and it had the exact same issue yesterday. It also didn't remember that I Favorited the Pokemon after I had to force close it. I'm guessing Niantic lied when they said the latest forced update was "Bug fixes". :colbert:

I'd highly recommend the fb chats too, I was in one for tempe/mesa for a long time and it was the best raid resource for me at least

I'll keep that in mind, but my current usage of facebook is basically never using it ever. I think the FB chat has a bot that posts the posts in the FB chat to discord and vice versa anyways.

When in doubt, park yourself in front of a popular raid target near hatch time, keep an eye out for people playing, beat the raid if possible (optional but it would help to prove that you're not dead weight), and ask them if there is a group you can join. That's how I ended up getting into my local Discord group which wasn't accepting invites through Silph Road.

I found mine via Facebook. Look for active Pokemon Go groups in your area and join them, then look to see if there are active discords.

There's also a Discord atlas on The Silph Road: https://thesilphroad.com/map/

Has anyone had trouble with the circle trick? It wasn't working for me yesterday. That is, it was definitely changing size when I spun up during the attack animation.

I didn't have any trouble with it this morning on a machamp. Maybe you let go during its attack animation when you initially locked it?

Looks like Adventure Sync has been rolled out for everyone now? I stepped outside for a run over to catch a wild Hariyama, and got greeted with the number of KM I walked this week (15.9 km apparently) and a bunch of Pokeballs. I also see the option to enable the feature now, and I'm level 30.

Also re: Ok button bug, looks like my Android is fine actually in terms of this, but not the iPhone. Did a quick Shinx raid on my way back, tried catching a wild Arcanine, and I was able to exit out normally.

It's not out for everyone yet. My boyfriend is level 28 and he still doesn't have access. I'm digging it though. I've been trying to walk more to lose weight and this is definitely a motivation.

Someone earlier mentioned you have to enable fitness tracking in your phone's system settings itself.

Yeah, you're right, I read something elsewhere about "rolling out to level 5" and assumed they had done just that instead of going down by 5 each time. :(

Closing and reopening the app let me finally sync it successfully. But now I get occasional messages telling me the game crashed, only it hasn't. :thunk:
