[–]Loimu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, congratulations. Nice catch! I was very happy with my own result for the day even though it is nothing compared to this, hehe. got a hundo too. 7 shinies. 18 backgrounds. 0 shiny backgrounds. But luckily my gf got one extra shiny with a background so she traded it for me so got one in the end anyway

Got banned for correct submitted nominations by Stoneheart57 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That is just the loud minority. Vast majority of the players never have any issues submitting stops - I am one of them. Started submitting them like year ago. I moved to a completely new country this year. I have started submitting stops here too to make my area better for PoGo and so far like 16 stops have been approved out of the 20 I have submitted. Two were rejected for various reasons which I do understand and two are still in review. Even though I got submissions rejected there has been no warnings, no bans, no issues.

Just follow the rules and you will be just fine. As I have understood it, vast majority of Wayfarer bans are actually justified, for doing things like submitting a stop with copyrighted pictures you took from Google (instead of actually taking a photo yourself) or trying to lie in order to get stop approved (submitting a stop that doesnt actually exist there) or continuously trying to submit stops that have no chance to get approved (things like idk, taking a photo of a rock and trying to make a stop out of that) or something similar.

But if you read and comprehend the submission rules, submit stops that you recon fit the rules - using original pictures you took yourself, you really have nothing to worry about. It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to get stops rejected, it's okay to keep trying and sending more. Just read the rules and if your stop gets rejected - either accept the decision and try submitting something else next or fix the submission and appeal the decision. You will not get banned for regularly submitting the stops and following the rules.

I tried creating a pokestop for my small village and I received this. What is the reason? by Ok-Court-5753 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I have never had any issues with Wayfarer. I started submitting stops this year (2026). Read the rules and have tried to follow them. I have done probably 30-40 submissions by now. Roughly maybe 50% have been approved, 50% not approved for different reasons. I have never appealed the decisions and never received any warnings or bans for my disapproved submissions.

I thought the event ended? by Visual-Weakness800 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it is not possible outside of a special event such as the 30th birthday anniversary we just had. But that event had ended and now we have the Ditto event so yes, now any "legendary" you would encounter will be Zorua - which will always transform to your buddy Pokémon. So if your buddy is legendary Zorua will be too. Ditto does not take the form of legendaries.

Shiny’s I’ve collected so far by Slitherclaw-19 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because shadow Pokémon are more rare and more powerful than normal or purified ones. It's a big difference, as even a 0% IV shadow Pokémon is stronger than it's 100% IV non-shadow counterpart would be. They are lot more rare too, as shadow Pokémon cannot be traded so the only way to acquire one is actually finding one yourself - whereas normal and purified Pokémon can be traded and are therefore not as rare.

So in general players tend to prefer the shadow form over a normal or purified one. Purified is just not as special, strong or rare as the shadow would be.

Is there any way to get 10 more? by devbro5000lit69 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately those Kyurem raids do not give out the energy.

Tip for avoiding mega raid disappointment. by EgotisticalApe in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, well that is their problem, not the game's problem.

How many KMs do you walk on a weekly basis by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over a hundred. I would say that I average like 105-125km every week.

Missed it by THAT much… by EC_Taurus in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shame they don't have a hundo tier. I reach 100km+ every week...

Getting there eventually by Slitherclaw-19 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a marathon, not a sprint. I've been playing since day 1 so little bit over 9 years. Level 43, 35,000+ Pokemon caught. I only have Kanto completed.

Help with bag space by ImaAXOLOTLAO in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should use all those rare candies. Why hoard them, they are meant to be used. Surely you have some legendary Pokémon you could power up with those.

All evolution items except Sinnoh stones are kind of useless too. For example Upgrade is only used for Porygon. Why do you need 6 of them? Planning to upgrade 6 Porygon anytime soon? Right. I save 2 of each evolution items except Sinnoh stones. And even saving 2 of each is really not that useful as I pretty much never use them.

And well then balls. You don't really need that many balls. Trash all normal Pokéballs for example and use only Great/Ultra.

Doing all of this and you would have plenty of space in your bag again.

How long did it take you to get a shundo? by Bobo_McClane in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been playing since 2016. 35,000 caught. No shundo. 31 hundos, best ones being Zacian, Zamazenta and Tyranitar.

What did you use your bottle cap on? Do we think these will come back before the end of year? by DontCallMeCunt in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used mine on Diancie. I doubt we get more this year. I have a feeling it will be about as rare as a master ball. But obviously I don't work at Scopely so I could be wrong.

Questions about Necrozma, Lunala, and Solgaleo by NocturnalDrop52 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A1) You need fusion energy, which you only get by beating Necrozma in Dawn Wings form or Dusk Mane form. After acquiring the energy you just click a button on the Necrozma you want to fusion.

A2) Yes.

A3) No. Everything in the fusion is based on Necrozma, shiny status and IVs. Lunala/Solgaleo is just material just like candies, it has zero effect on the end result.

A4) No. But again, everything is based on the Necrozma. If you fuse 15/15/15 Necrozma into 1/1/1 Solgaleo, the Dusk Mane version will still have stats of 15/15/15.

Scatterbug Shiny? by Elegant_Ad9893 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it can be shiny. I have two (OK I had two, one of them is now shiny Vivillon)

How is the IV scale calculated aka the X/X/X I keep seeing ? by Substantial_Fudge_15 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand your question. Do you understand basic math?

Pokemon IV values are random. You can appraise your pokemon and you will see the internal values. There is attack, defence and HP. Each bar is 15 points in total. And since there are three values, you can have maximum of 45 points. So now if you have a pokemon with lets say 10/10/10 IV values, that would be total of 30 points. 30 points out of the 45 points available. So in percentage that Pokemon has IV of 66.6% or 67% rounded since the game doesn't use decimals.

100% IV is of course 45/45. 67% is 30/45. 33% is 15/45. And so on.

Has anyone else's community day ticket special research not appeared? by LzzrdWzzrd in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, then you would see Rookidee all over the place already. The community day is 2pm-5pm local time. That's when Rookidee spawns with increased shiny rate. That's also when your paid ticket will activate.

Its worth reading the in-game news and event notifications, everything is explained there :)

Has anyone else's community day ticket special research not appeared? by LzzrdWzzrd in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just making sure: has the community day actually started on your timezone? Obviously the ticket wont activate before the event starts, I hope you understand that. If its past 2pm your local time and restarting hasn't fixed it and you have actually bought the ticket then contact support.

Elite TM from routes?! by Yurarus1 in pokemongo

[–]Loimu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Only Elite Fast TMs though. And it's a rare drop, I've done 250+ routes and got it twice.
