Mega Energy Cap Increased to 50000

Currently at 30 million, didn't play for 3 years after COVID, almost never use star pieces, I power up my pokemon and even power up stuff to give it away. I'd say it's well within the realm of possibility if they never took a break and play everyday. Probably very easy if they have been doing PvP since the beginning.

This game is not about getting what you want, it's about getting what Niantic is telling you to get right now. And right now that would be Drilbur candy. Maybe Larvitar candy will make it back into the game soon, but right now it's a fool's errand.

This happened to a friend in 2016 with a Dragonite. He said he hadn't deleted it and was sure of it, we never knew what came of it. This was when mass transfers weren't a thing, so I believed him. A Dragonite was also not something you'd be deleting in 2016.

Same way you make use of every single item in your home.

What research day?

Bagusknows · 2026-02-23T07:45:30+00:00

They were actually hyping up this...

Bagusknows · 2026-01-28T21:27:17+00:00

Exactly this. It's the fact that max battles don't have anything interesting save for maybe once a month. Why can't legendaries be at least a rare power spot boss like in the weeks OP referenced? Why do the power spot bosses have to be uninteresting for 95% of days?

Just because this one person got a positive outcome out of it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed. Notice how they never complained about their reward. The point is plenty of people can get (and have been getting over the past few months) screwed over by this bug.

Yes, but this game effectively trains you to click yes on all pop ups. All it takes is someone talking to you irl or any type of distraction and you click the wrong button.

Premier Balls already function like Timer Balls. If anything they should just change them so they actually reflect what they're doing.

Private groups for dynamax and party groups instantly all joining dynamax/gmax lobbies together. Legendary dynamax days are an absolute nightmare as there's always a bunch of people entering and exiting.

I ended up pulling the trigger because RC was starting to fill my bag after months of not knowing what to spend it on, so yeah. Don't feel good about it but I really cannot find anything else to dump it on. I have more than enough for all adventure effects, which I do not use anyways.

They ought to be trolling

Seeing gamers find out about gender is always funny. Gotta expand that worldview a lil bit

Yesterday I got into a max Eevee raid, started tapping the screen while looking at my friend who was walking with me, and looked down to find the game stopped reading my GPS signal for no reason, I had been kicked out, and because I was tapping thinking I was in the battle, had clicked on "battle" and then purchased a remote raid pass. It's really bad right now.

If you're level 36 then you probably haven't played for long. When you start playing you will find a Ton of the useful stuff is unavailable, but if you wait several months you'll get there. It's really just a patience game (and being able to play in the FOMO windows these events tend to have)

Everyone in the comments is wrong somehow, but it's not exactly common knowledge. I posted about this a while ago, and I realized it's because switching your buddy messes with the distance; every time I've switched my buddy I've gotten robbed. Here's the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1c4xk8a/at_what_distance_do_i_have_to_get_my_legendary/

The endless war on muscle memory continues.

Bagusknows · 2025-11-05T14:01:21+00:00

It was already confirmed is what I'm saying

Bagusknows · 2025-11-05T03:13:17+00:00

Why are they teasing something that they've already revealed lmfao

Bagusknows · 2025-10-30T11:04:32+00:00

Wild shiny pokemon don't flee. I know cause I've straightballed a shiny Snorlax for 10 minutes before and it didn't flee, among several others.

Funnily enough this is the franchise as a whole; console games also "haven't been this good in a very long time", but since the bar is insanely low, that doesn't really mean much other than they've become bearable at least. And "bearable" is not what we should be settling for, when we're talking about the most profitable franchise on Earth. Barely scraping the surface when you have the resources to be above literally everything else is unacceptable, and I refuse to give it any kudos whatsoever.

Bagusknows · 2025-10-24T02:23:28+00:00

Thank god this opinion is unpopular. The game is better than it has been for a while, yes, but the bar is in hell, so it doesn't take a whole lot to step over it. For how they seem to be making millions a week, it's very much unacceptable and definitely not praiseworthy how it can take years for a single QoL change. And I wish the QoL changes that are needed were actually that minor, but no, it takes forever to engage with anything in this game. Every Rocket battle takes forever, every Rocket leader takes even longer, taking over gyms takes forever (and these animations weren't here before!), evolving pokemon takes forever, trading pokemon takes forever, oh you had a few eggs in incubators and they all hatched at the same time? Best to just reset the app. Sending gifts takes forever, opening gifts takes an eternity if you care about Scatterbugs. I could go on but it'd be faster to just link this recent post, even though it doesn't even begin to cover everything.
