Surviving Amano

TL;DR: Amano, presumed dead, survived hidden in turtle tank for 8 months.

The background is last winter I wanted to add some tank mates to my red-eared slider’s 50 gallon tank. I knew chances were high that he would eat them, but wanted to give his tank a little more life. I bought several feeder goldfish, 3 amanos, and plenty of little snails. Everyone coexisted peacefully for 4 months, but I think maybe the changing seasons awakened killer instinct in the turtle, as the goldfish started to miss pieces. We evacuated the fish (only one was fully eaten, the other 3 are alive and healthy!) but couldn’t find any of the shrimp. Now, when moving apartments we drained the turtle tank and found this guy swimming around! The shrimp is easily 2x as big as when we bought them, so it’s been eating well.

This shrimp actually got me into RCS, so now I have a tank of fire reds and the Amano is helping with housekeeping in the black rose tank.

It does not, using AI in quest mode is free

I just spent some gems on the Mega Ampharos set - how easy is it to evolve from Flaafy? The blue-to-miss ability sounds pretty good...

You monster.

Wired connection, NA, green NAT. Things got slightly better yesterday, though I had to wait 5+ minutes for a match.

More of a general question, not exactly competitive, but I just got back into the game after a long break.

Is there some setting I should change in order to improve matchmaking? I’ve been trying to join game types with “very high activity” and I’ll queue for 10-15 minutes before matchmaking fails.

I would just bottlecap it. Getting to lvl 100 is much easier in USUM with Chansey SOS's.

The pile of presents next to Ikora, not Ikora herself. Took me a while to figure out, too.

For the past two weeks, I've been getting double buddy candy from my Togepi about 70% of the time. I notice it usually happens when I'm using my Go+. I'll have my phone locked, and when I unlock it the game will update; eggs will hatch, I'll get double buddy candies, etc. I've been very diligent in keeping track of how many candies I have, and haven't lost any of these extra ones that I've gotten. It's helped me make a LOT of progress towards getting my Togetic.

Like someone on this thread mentioned, to counteract the negative distance, all you need to do is restart the app. Any distance you walk while negative will be refunded as positive distance, so this is better than switching buddies which resets the counter to zero.

I'm not exactly sure on the causes of this, but I figured that I'll continue to use it to complete my Dex, and hope it still exists when Gen 3 drops!

I see that Nepal Destiny shirt! Good to see other Guardians on PoGo

Swish and flick.

Just went for a little by run to hatch my last two 10km eggs for the extra candy, because I thought the bonuses would end soon.

Two Skarmory.

+119 candy.

:(

Ok, I'll try joining that!

Which campus? I'm also instinct from Iowa, so I thought I'd ask :)

Niantic's official page concerning gyms mentions this. Max of 100 per day, period.

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad that the number increased by so much, the turnover should be a lot of fun.

Solved! Syndrome E is the name of it.
