I think I might use my lunch break to drive to an anorith nest.

Edit: all the pokemon in the final quest do nest so check silph road around your area.

Do people still use silph road? The nyc map has almost no info so I assumed people mostly gave up on it

Eh mine is partially updated and I think people are somewhat better about it for this quest.

I'm on the special research where you have to catch 2 Omanyte/Kabuto, 2 Lileep/Anorith and an Aerodactyl.

I see maybe one Kabuto every two months, no Omanytes unless it's raining (I'm in CA, so hardly ever), never seen a Lileep, and have only seen an Anorith during the previous event, and Aerodactyl maybe twice ever. This is idiotic.

I’m still stuck on the Ditto phase. :suicide:

Kept my Go-tcha running pretty much all day every day since the quest went live, did as many quests as possible hoping to get the one that rewards Ditto when it was a thing... nada.

If you're in a area with lots of pogo players, there may be people calling out where dittoes are, and what they're hiding as in chatrooms.

The local discord had a ditto quest posted in the research channel almost every single day that the Let's Go quests were live. You can usually find any of the limited time ones there if you're persistent enough.

sometimes I feel a little bit like Don draper, and I want to scream at Niantic, listen you're making x number of dollars, you use my suggestions, you will make x raised to y number of dollars, who says no to more money!

you want to sell more incubators, yes putting garbage 5 k's in the pool and making it impossible to throw eggs away works, or, you can make it so they have to spend stay fifty to a hundred gold pieces, to leave the egg with a friend, or to transfer to the professor.

you want to sell more raid passes, put into shinies of all the previous raid bosses, and also on communities, make every gym spawn a new 4 or 5 level egg the entire event.

you want to sell more garbage Avatar items, maybe sell some more Pokemon themed ones, like jackets, more shoes, jewelry, carrier or hats for your buddy.

I'm stuck on "evolve a drowsee"

Niantic seems to dislike people who rush though quests, but also if you don't grind the quests for the 2 weeks they have relevant spawns and field research quests then lol @ u.

Like for once I decided not to nerd out and look at quest spoilers, just do it at my own pace and I have to say I recommend it 150%, feels really good being stuck on a relatively straightforward quest.

Admittedly, one thing that they did do well was deincentivizing having to save every lucky egg for evolution sprees, meaning that evolve X mon quests aren't so difficult, namely because you aren't evolving any random mon when you get the requisite 50 candy or what have you.

If they sold a second permanent incubator for 19.99, I’d buy it. Not 1999 coins, just $$$. Credit card, PayPal, whatever.

I have lost all powers of reading comprehension and counting ability hours ago
It's a game like anything else, developers gotta make money somehow. I rarely pay for anything in this game at all, but I probably would for a second infinite incubator. The rest of the stuff is all disposable or cosmetic and I'll only spend gym coins or Google bucks on that.

I save my lucky eggs for when I have 100 or so pidgeys :frogc00l:

The last time I did it was a few days ago when I was under 100k from 39. I went through my stash and just evolved a lot of stuff I've been hoarding with great stats and high level. Didn't bother with Lucky Eggs, though; I save them for Ultra/Best Friend bonuses.
