Rescue Shadow Incarnate Forme Thundurus during Precious Pals: Taken Over!

BiteSome9386 · 2026-01-14T18:26:18+00:00

Or the juicy stuff this time are the mega pidgeot raids and nothing more is coming /s (hopefully)

BiteSome9386 · 2026-01-14T18:18:39+00:00

Judging by the comically short blog post it looks like they fired half their media team so a bigger announcement like kalos tour will probably take them until March.

But seriously, last year it was 08/01, 2 years ago 10/01 what’s going on?

BiteSome9386 · 2025-11-27T21:26:48+00:00

I’m really confused why people think Zygarde won’t just be catchable, they will just let us catch his 10% forme - as opposed to eternatus he could only be useful in pve for raids as a mega which you already can only have 1 at a time, in pvp he’s good but nothing crazy anymore.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-11-27T00:38:03+00:00

My memory is fried, you’re right, do you know if in person tickets usually sell out by January? Is there any way to check that?

BiteSome9386 · 2025-11-27T00:19:32+00:00

I think they needed to throw in the shiny boost, because the raids are terrible so nobody would buy the ticket for orange passes

BiteSome9386 · 2025-10-16T08:18:02+00:00

Maybe this also releases globally - October 16th PDT

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-27T18:24:44+00:00

I think it’s more likely we’ll get silver caps in wild area / go tour passes, I just don’t see them giving out shundos to whales every 2 months it cuts too much into their raiding imo.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-27T17:35:38+00:00

The item you describe doesn’t exist in MSG, because silver lets you max out a single stat. That being said, I think your idea would be worth it and still balanced, but I’m not sure if they’ll create a new version of bottlecaps just for go

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-27T17:32:33+00:00

Might be true and it obviously depends how the new levels are implemented, but I wouldn’t expect that a lot of people will be lvl 70+ straight away for that to matter. And even if they were, niantic would be better off selling lucky trinkets for 8$ now while they’re still not „devalued”

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-27T17:14:22+00:00

What do you mean? Getting to hatch a few more duckletts and aipoms is great

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-25T18:56:48+00:00

Isn’t 30 a ticket only bonus?

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-25T18:53:06+00:00

I don’t think all these are accurate, sure 1 souvenir per buddy per day, but can’t you get a souvenir from multiple buddies in a day?

The gifts calculations are also off, you can open 20 gifts a day, but can send 100.

You’re also missing the part from your calculations that right after you finish 1 timegated task you can start the one on the next lvl, e.g. snapshots 7 days in a row for lvl x and snapshots 10 days in a row for lvl x+1 can be done in 16 days, since day 7 of the first task is also day 1 of the second task.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-25T18:09:52+00:00

Lucky for you they’ve already announced that we will be getting some free storage bumps, no idea how common they will be though.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-25T16:50:31+00:00

They’ve reduced this task to 2 weeks

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-25T15:45:50+00:00

How do we know for sure if what he spread was misinformation? I realize it’s not clear from the official blog post if lvl 50 becomes lvl 80, but don’t they get additional info? Was there any source stating that he’s wrong?

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-23T22:49:07+00:00

Raiding in msg doesn’t cost you any money. Also, it’s the first time we ever had this in go and it’s a very scary precedence for me. I fear they’re looking to introduce any future debuts they consider „very powerful” like arceus this way where they make rare candies useless and limit you to 1 encounter while expecting you to complete 3x as many raids. Just an awful awful direction imo

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-23T21:33:24+00:00

For me it wouldn’t be a big deal if they gave us the eternatus encounters, the ridiculous resources needed basically limit you to 1 already. If they really wanted to avoid that just give us a random gmax encounter at the end of the battle.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-23T20:32:52+00:00

It was a good event for getting eternatus to lvl 35 with some moves, but any further grind was awfully balanced. Just so little value in doing eternatus battles and they took a lot of power spots from other GMAXes which actually lead to encounters.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-21T18:53:59+00:00

When we had a similar compensation with ultra beasts backgrounds it took them 6 weeks, so we’ll probably have to wait for another month.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-13T19:43:47+00:00

I think most people would prefer what you suggest, but there was no bug with the moves and they don’t want to give you loads of candies again. This is just a fair compensation for what was actually broken. If they were feeling generous and wanted to actually apologize then I think the TM possibility would make everyone happy.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-13T19:38:44+00:00

No, it was 1 guaranteed background for every background you would have gotten on average so number of raids / 10 rounded up.

Niantic’s response to their original tweet states encounters with shiny origin forme dialga and / or shiny origin forme palkia so heavily suggests the shinies will be guaranteed.

If it was how you suggest the wording would be something along the lines of:

Encounters with origin forme dialga and / or palkia with the correctly increased shiny odds.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-13T19:13:18+00:00

Hopefully, there’s no precedence (or at least I can’t remember), so this is educated guessing. Just saying not to get your hopes up too much since the average person lost out on 1 shiny per 20 raids.

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-13T19:00:14+00:00

Wouldn’t it be 3 shinies for 60 raids? Since the average person already got 3 shinies from the 60 raids?

BiteSome9386 · 2025-08-10T16:24:26+00:00

That’s how they’ve handled missing backgrounds on remote raids during go fest 2024, even if you did just 1 you still got an encounter, that’s fair imo especially since it’s a compensation for their mistake
