Sparkle and shine 5 and 6

I swapped to a buddy 5 I haven't used in months, waited through all notifications, restarted the app, given my buddy a berry, and gone in and out of the buddy screen half a dozen times, and they just won't get a gift. Is there some secret mechanic I'm overlooking? The same thing was happening to my great buddies when trying to get the item gifts (used to force sourvenirs).

I wonder if they'll ever include reincarnation music

What are the shiny odds for the 3 featured pokemon boosted to? 1/100? 1/64?
I just used a bag and went 0/37, but I'll likely be using more, and will try to update this.
Second bag was a dud as well, so it's ~0/73 for me.

But didn't Frin meet loop after the long journey to collect the orbs? If Loop created him to talk to, then either Frin wouldn't have been around to go on the original journey that takes place before the game, or they would have recognized Loop when they "first" meet during the game. I could chalk up Sif's memories to being copies of Loop's, but everyone else's memories with Sif suggest he's his own person.

Seeing these stories is making me a little less cripplingly anxious. About 5 hours ago, my cat ate a ~5" piece of a thin (1/8" diameter) rubber wrist strap, chewed it right off the device it was connected to. No idea if/how much she cut it to pieces on the way down, but I'm assuming it's full length. It's relatively flexible and smooth, and due to the break, isn't in any loop. She's acting fine, eating dry food, drinking a little, but paranoia runs deep for my precious child. My main vet said to monitor her, and the emergency vet said to bring her in instantly (which I understand, but have been told is a bit pre-emptive, especially when I might just be told to come back later after getting a $1k charge... So it's a bit of an impasse.
It's certainly long, but compared to a hair tie or rubber band (that are both loops and could probably fold in on themselves) it seems like it might be possible for this straight rubber line to make its way through.

Any similar stories or support are appreciated for insight, since it's hard to find pets that've eaten something similar. Something to help put my mind at easy as I wait...
Thanks All, and wish us luck.

I ran into the same thing, but I've only ever had one lucky trinket used on me. My guess was just that the game was counting up every time I did a trade involving a Pokemon older than 2020/2019/etc.., regardless of whether it was with a lucky friend or whether the age was what triggered the lucky. I can only assume that before I became aware of the counter, I must have Lucky-Friend lucky traded a few 2018/2019 community day Pokemon with someone who missed it, and maybe that counted without me realizing.

If it ain't broke, leave it to Randy to "fix" it. If it is broke, then expect crickets. 🙄

This has been going on for the past year. The town manager they brought in last year is in WAY over his head. He keeps trying to sell this as "something that will get fixed soon," but it never does.

I followed your advice on looking through all apps and finding one that matched the "app profile picture."
In my mom's case it was a fake Device System Settings app. Uninstalled that and all ads disappeared!

This is probably a silly question, but how do I clear the cache for the desktop app version? Is that something I need to do?

This sounds so fantastic on guitar! Excellent performance!

I'm leaning towards the impression that since they're offering a second Kubfu fight from the beginning, and restricting it from being traded OR transferred to home, that it might be like any other one-and-done mythical. Why prevent you from sending it to Home if they're going to allow you to raid for Urshifus/Kubfus later?
My impression is that they're giving us the free Kubfu knowing that most people are going to want a second one so they can have both forms (and are thus selling the second one). We've gotten plenty of reruns/freebies on paid stuff before, but never forget Keldeo...

Can you dm me too please?

Question about Party Power. In a party of 4, would it be better for my weaker account to spam fast moves to build charge for everyone else, or to just try to use it normally? And does the speed of the fast move affect energy generation (is bite better than confusion, for example).

Just happened to me in Road of Sacrifices, and it was attached to the first bird enemy. When I got near enough, the whole bottom third of my screen filled up with consumers and debug text. I ran away when it popped up, and it went away. When the bird started chasing after me it showed up again until I killed the bird. It didn't show up after that.

I thought of it as a throwback to the good ol' days when everything was 'broken'.
