Cough Drop The Beat posted:Did the Legendary Lunch Time event and caught 5 Giratinas, including an 89% dude. Not bad at all! I wish Niantic did guaranteed raid events more often because it's really fun seeing everyone and their grandma out there. I got three evil caterpillars, and an invite to an EX Raid from one of the EX Gyms I hit! AND it's for a time I can actually do! Madness! It's Deoxys-D in those right now, right? Guess I'll be putting these Giratinas to work!

Glad I'll be gone for half of the Latios time next week camping, because raiding's gonna suck when Latios is taking attention away from Giratina. I can't fault people for wanting to chase shinies, but origin forme Giratina is really useful and I'd rather chase more of them over Latios. Would've been nice if it came out whenever Lake Trio is coming out instead, but maybe we'll get even better re-releases during those months. I need to find myself Giratina Loyalists in my town during these trying times.

14 giratinas across 2 accounts, nothing over 90% and one 10-10-10 Also it was pissing rain for exactly the duration of the event  At least I've got plenty of fodder for those guaranteed lucky swaps, I guess

NTRabbit posted:My usual not summer when the brown snakes are out community day walking trail just had a new pokestop added in the middle and a new gym added at the northern end I think the recent Ingress OPR updates really helped with the massive backlog of POI submissions. There's one player in our local area with a high enough Ingress level to submit/review new POIs, and they recently did a sweep of the area, taking requests and submitting new locations. After a couple weeks, we ended up with at least 10 new stops and 3 new gyms (converted from former stops). Before the OPR changes, those would have stayed in the backlog for months. I recently got back into Ingress because I want to get my level up and help with submissions, too. It's also nice to have something else to work on since I finally hit 40 in Go.

Nice. My local discord has this great map for us to use that is apparently the best route around downtown. It's not a big city but we do pretty good.

IVs. Each ranges from 0-15. Attack/Defense/HP is the usual order, I think. More is better, generally.

To go further on the “generally”: For PvP Great League you want closer to 0/15/15 for most species*, but that’s really getting into minmax territory. I think IVs only makes a few % difference over their total effectiveness? * or 15/15/15 if they max out under the CP cap.

I've had a lot of success with PokeGenie on iOS. I think CalcyIV is the other one people use, but not sure if that's on iOS.

Yeah as mentioned above, PokeGenie is the best on iOS, but using it ends up filling up your photo library with screenshots. It's still far easier than going to websites to do it though. CalcyIV on Android is better; it works as an overlay and reads the info straight from the screen, but unfortunately that would never work on (non-jailbroken) iOS. I play the game on iOS when I'm out and about, but have an Android phone for work that I use for bulk-rating them when I get home. Both apps are as accurate as they can be, but depending on the level of the Pokemon there can be ambiguities in its stats (more common in lower-level Pokemon). Both of them have the ability to input the in-game appraisal of the Pokemon to narrow it down, and PokeGenie can list all the possible combinations (I'm not aware that CalcyIV can actually do this?).

CalcyIV can even automatically scan the appraisal though you still have to tap through the appraisal text and not too quickly or it'll miss the text. It will also show potential stat combinations on the app itself but the overlay only show the maximum, minimum, and median. It can also rename your Pokémon (by way of pasting from the clipboard) with its stats, level, type, gender, and various other parameters. It can even use special unicode characters to get around the name character limit like so:

Calcy lists all possible combinations if you long press the button and go into the app. Swipe right and you can pick from a list of all possibilities (if it's one you deleted the history of or something). The raid boss tools in it are great, too.

I won the lottery and ended up with a shiny ash hat pikachu. I don't particularly care to keep it, so I'm trying to figure out what to trade it for. Maybe shiny azurill? This is my first rare shiny so I'm not really sure of the relative rarities and if I should ask for multiple in return...

ReginaLynn, really sorry but I just accidentally went Ultra friends with you without warning. Hopefully you see this and can get an egg on first, if you still care about XP. Sorry again  Kantesu posted:One more note on Poke Genie: It has the option to delete all of the scanned screenshots in your gallery, which does not also delete the associated scan. Oh yeah! I realised it deleted the screenshot when you delete the scan, but I’d missed the manual entry in the sidebar. It’d be really nice if you could set it to auto-delete them once they’ve been processed, but the iOS permission prompt probably breaks that possibility.

The in-game appraisal tells you the overall total, which stat(s) is the highest, and how high that stat(s) is. For Mystic, Blanche saying the stat "exceeds my calculations" is always a 15. 14 is just "impressive."

What's the closest large metropolitan area? In general, more people = more spawns. Are there any parks near you? See if you can find a map that has nests for your area, and if one of the nests is spawning something you're missing. If there's not one for your local area, the Silph Road's may help: https://thesilphroad.com/atlas See if there's anyone around who'll trade you things you're missing? Roll the dice with incense? Or lures if there's stops near you. Is anything you're missing an evolved form? If you own the pre-evolved form, make it your buddy to earn candy for it. Hatch eggs until your legs fall off?

You can do the same Pokémon multiple times until he shows, if you want him to have that specific move set.

I thought that Smeargle only showed up on the first shot you take, and only for one Pokemon, so you have to take one picture each of several 'mons until you get photobombed. Is that wrong?

Is that wrong? He does show up on the first shot you take, and only the first shot, but unless they've changed it, you can do the same one over and over until he shows. Some days, nothing spawns near me, and I have to do that over and over and over just to keep my Daily Streak going, since it's the only one I can get. I tend to hold the icon to open the menu and slide my thumb diagonally up right, which will take me right into the Bag menu, then I tap the camera, and tap whatever is closest to my thumb, exit with my left thumb, exit the "Here's your photo(s)!" menu, and start over.
