I haven't seen a single shiny. Hoping to go out tomorrow with my buddy.

I did get some Alolan Sandshrews from eggs (from Dubai) and now have a fancy Sandslash. Tons of Wailmers and Snorunt too.

Edit: What does hitting level 30 get me? Can I hold more than ten gift items at time?

Every Pokemon you catch will have the same stats as every other person level 30+ will catch. 10 presents is always the max.

So, is it basically about racing to 30 before I should feel attachment to any of my pokemon? Reached 18 this week (started away about 13)

Yeah. Add your friend code here and to the sheet and add a bunch of people and you'll be at 30 within a week or two from all the friend xp

Man, I'm lovin' this "event."

Got a shiny sandshrew, and before yesterday, I think I'd seen about 4 Piplups, tops, and after doing a little walkin' around yesterday and today I finally evolved an Empoleon.

Apparently the shiny Abra and Clefairy yesterday at gofest was a fuckup and they shut them off after a few hours according to folks in the park today.

Amazing that Niantic is still too stupid to see an opportunity to just embrace it and not piss people off when they make a mistake. Any other f2p game would have been crucified by now.

Shiny geodude, karp, and Psyduck today. Still hunting for my Seel, Sableye, and Horsea.

Did hatch a shiny Togepi before the event.


You know, Niantic could just release a new shiny every other week and not tell people. The first one who caught it would freak and then everyone would mass play for it.

There was also an area where chimecho was a 100% chance to photobomb and gave 1k dust (1500 with star) so Niantic nerfed that

Something I was curious about was answered on r/thesilphroad today: shiny Pokemon can and do run from Go Plus and Go-tcha attempts, but the journal doesn't show them as shiny. Video proof:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/c0gnpr/video_proof_of_pokemon_fleeing_from_go_plus_not/

So it's best to do your shiny hunting the normal way, and leave the auto-catch for times you can't look at your phone (driving, etc).

Is my trainer code. Trainer name is Frykka, but I'm trying to change it to BellSA like other mobile games.

I currently teach in a small town, but it has its share of Pokestops. I added myself top the spreadsheet but will add other folks.

One question, though: since there's no header is the date supposed to be the date our info was updated or something else?

Nope. Someone's gotta boot them out. At least you can enjoy your guaranteed gold badge. :v:

It sucks that the 50 coin daily limit only applies to the day your Pokemon comes out. I had one at a stop for three days and got nothing because I had already got the limit that day.

So, now that I have some goon friends, I've gotta ask: if I use a lucky egg, do all my friends also benefit from it while it's active?

It's probably too much to hope that they stack, but I'd like to help folks out where I can.

They need to drop their own.


I really wish we could make our own gift boxes. Like, cost 100 gold to make a 5-10 item box for friends. Here's a metal coat, 5 golden razzes, and 1 ultra ball!

The only thing to really consider when it comes to gifting is on the receiving end; eggs from gifts hatch pokemon that are considered to "come from" the gifter's location, which can then be used to boost your "distance traded" stat.

Beyond that, not really. If you've got access to a lot of them go hog wild; if you're gifting sparingly then send gifts to people you haven't opened gifts from today to maximize the number of interactions you get.

Are the adventure sync rewards compatible with star pieces? Ie, if I pop one at 845 am Monday, will it give 100k instead of 50k?

Yes, but you need to time it well. Or you either miss it or do it too late.
