My gotcha got one on the drive home from work today. Good day! Love random shinies.

I somehow managed to lose my Gotcha between the car and the house. it was in my pocket, and when I arrived inside, it was no longer in my pocket. The pocket also has no holes, so I don't understand what happened. I guess I'm buying a new one at Gamestop tomorrow.

Edit: Found it! It slipped between the seat and the middle console almost immediately I expect, somehow.

This is :krad: and I did not see this coming at all.

Time to download Google Fit I guess?!

Yeah, I just downloaded it, but I would have preferred it worked with Samsung Fit, which I already use. I didn't need two different Fit apps.

As far as we know then are formes just going to be entirely different Pokemon in this game? Or have there been clues about morphing from forme to forme?

Going by Castform, you have to catch it in a form and it stays that way forever in PoGo.

However, they've not stated at all if this is what they're doing with rarer pokemon like legendaries.

I was looking forward to spreading mimes to the children when we got back from Europe, but welp.


Also, I think there should be at least some benefit to having played the game from its early days.

There is, you get to trade your first ten old as gently caress pokemon and get Luckies. I got lucky Mewtwo, SC Gengar, Empoleon, and shiny Ho-Oh this way.

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.

Our local discord rules are basically be nice, if you arrive late to a raid, tough poo poo unless people feel like backing out, and don't accuse people of spoofing unless you have proof. Even then, talk to the mods first. No one seems to have problems with multi-accounting.

There is absolutely no code of conduct for Gyms, which results in some seriously salty people. If the game lets you do it, go for it.

Went out on Halloween hoping to find a shiny duskull, got a shiny sableye.

Caught a random shiny shellder, my second, a few days ago.

Really really wanted a shiny ponyta, got a shiny Cubone/marowak instead.

So, yay? Good problems. I would trade any of these for a shiny Eevee in a heartbeat.

You'll probably find a lot of people on your local discord or whatever willing to trade a shiny eevee for either of those. I only got 9 shinies over the two days, but many people got 20+ in my discord, and probably wish to get rid of them.

Also make sure to wait until you get the notification for getting the second candy, not just the 10km walking. I know they should come at the same time, but sometimes they don't and you need both.

Did you update Calcy IV recently so it has the new CP calculations? either something went wrong during that conversion process, or the data got cleared on it and it's forgotten everything.

Seems like it would have difficulty remembering pokemon that got adjusted, so it may have wiped what saved stuff it had?

Find a Use 7-super effective charge attacks in gyms quest, it gives an Electabuzz, which is at least a 10/10/10.

Community day I’m just excited to try and get dragonite and Tyranitar candy really. Always in short supply for me.

How good is the evolved form of Mareep? I have a lower CP one, so I’ll be looking to try and evolve a better one up.

It's not great, but when it gets its Mega evo it might be good and it'll have a good dragon move, which it gains as a type.

Yikes. I have 680 normal Pokeballs and feel like I really need to invest in some more item storage to get more before Community Weekend starts tomorrow.

Just trashed another hundred Ultra Balls to make room.

are you planning on just using your gotcha? otherwise, why would you keep normals when you could have ultras?

edit: to be fair, i probably don't need 350 golden razzes

edit2: i still need to buy 650 items slots worth, which is a lot of coins

On top of the recycled community day too? :effort:

I get it, for those of us who have been back for almost the entire year (I returned for Dratini day, missed bulbasaur day and only go to catch two mareeps but have been back for everything else), it's not the most exciting thing in the world. But a ton of people have only been back for like, 3 months, and they missed the birds and probably some of the beasts. This is a good move for retention of new players, and they know that longer term players aren't going to stop playing anyway.

Edit: Also take into account that it's winter in the northern hemisphere and if they were releasing amazing things a lot of people would be salty because of the weather.

Between a 4 hour walk yesterday and today, I've got the following shinies:
2 dratini
1 bulbasaur
5 mareep
2 charmander
1 eevee
5 cyndaquil
2 larvitar
1 beldum
3 chikorita
1 squirtle

and still no loving pikachu, which is the only shiny of them I don't have somehow.

FistEnergy posted:

We have until 11pm PST tomorrow to evolve for CD moves, right?

Correct!
The ones that really matter are Metagross (it's a 33% DPS boost over its next best move), Tyranitar (if you need rock type attacks), Charizard and Venusaur (it's their best attacks by 10%~, and they're useful). Dratini doesn't really benefit from having the Draco Meteor, it's good but pretty much on par with its other best dragon attack, and Cyndaquil and Meganium aren't very good even with their community day moves.

I also hatched myself a perfect Treecko, so hey, unexpected bonus.

yeah I had weird perfect luck, I caught a perfect Poliwag from a quest reward and hatched a perfect Alolan Sandshrew, as well as got a perfect Beldum in a trade all on Saturday.

I really enjoyed my battles despite a lack of new Sinnoh stones being awarded to me. Did 6 battles with ultra friends and battled all three of the team leaders. Got 500 dust for the first three people battles and 500 dust for the leader battle, and since you don't have to heal your pokemon afterward I feel like it's a pretty good system so far.
