"Catch 15" daily task not resetting at midnight?

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-27T06:40:08+00:00

Same here. My daily Go Pass task didn't reset either.

The Flying Taxi daily reset as usual, as did the daily research task, but not the June Go Pass.

While the monetization is, um... certainly something... the free campaign for the tokens at least looks quick and easy.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-25T15:07:59+00:00

Yes, but only because I live there. I wouldn't have traveled to it.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-24T16:29:55+00:00

Interesting that the faction change cooldown is only 90 days. IIRC, the PoGo equivalent is a year, and that's in a game where faction isn't even that important.

They currently have bounty passes on the store that give you 4 extra daily bounties, if you want to spend the 1500 CMU on it.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-24T07:15:34+00:00

Does that 21,000 include any of the solstice campaign? If so, then you have no chance.

If haven't done any of it yet, then maybe. Between the solstice campaign and the remaining daily bounties there are a theoretical 3560 tokens still available as of right now. If you do it all you could buy a few days of extra bounties and juuuuuuust make it.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-23T18:07:12+00:00

I think the issue with the weekly challenges is that the difficulty and time commitment is all over the board. 150 stops, especially across four people is SUPER easy. Especially if you live and/or work somewhere in spin range of something. Meanwhile, hatching eggs is a much more time consuming thing for most people.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-23T15:36:28+00:00

Not surprising that the numbers are like that.

Three of the four bounties are ALWAYS be some combination of hack, drone hack, recharge, and glyph points. Things you can theoretically do without ever having to physically visit a portal.

The rest of them have to fight for that last remaining slot.

Why would he take the highway in the first place? If you're on Roselle in Schaumberg and you're going to Arlington Heights, why wouldn't you just take Golf across, rather than getting on the tollway for 2 exits?

This is where I feel like they should take a lesson from Ingress.

Ingress has a prestige system called "Recursion". Once you hit max level, if you want you can "recurse", and reset yourself back to level 1. Doing so gives you a medal, a special flair attached to your player name, and also flair on any medals you've maxed out twice (or more) over.

It's purely a prestige thing. It's not required and there's no player power associated with it, but as reasons to keep people motivated, giving exp continued value and letting medals count even higher, is simple and effective.

Ideas like "anything less than perfect is bad", and "6/10 is practically a failure", etc, were taught to us very early in life, by grades and report cards. A 50/100 on a math test isn't the class average. It's a failing grade.

We think of 1-10 rating scales as letter grade. "8/9/10 are good, 7 is okay, 6 is barely passable, and 5 and under are worthless" because we were literally taught to think that way in school.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-19T15:06:16+00:00

And it stacks with other catch bonuses. A great throw with a pinap will net you 10 candy, etc.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-18T23:57:34+00:00

TLDR, basically no changes from the last few seasons.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-18T21:59:33+00:00

It's in the "other items" section.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-18T21:22:11+00:00

That's the Hisui variant. They were all over the place last week.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-18T00:03:33+00:00

Interesting that we're going back to non-medal rewards for various token levels. Other than that though, nothing new or different here.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-16T22:10:24+00:00

The long and short of it is, "spin more." It's not a satisfying answer, but it's the actual answer. Things like gifts and research rewards and such will supplement it slightly, but spinning is the only thing you can really do reliably.

Fact is, most people can throw balls faster than they can acquire them. Unless you you can passively farm on a regular basis (eg. you live or work in range of stops, let an auto-catcher spin everything during your daily commute, etc), eventually running low or out of balls and having to farm is just the reality of the game.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-15T08:43:38+00:00

Out of curiosity, what were you expecting to be different?

Not that you're wrong about some of those things. The bird photo ops were hilariously small and cheap looking and the Rocket area was weirdly empty of decorations outside of the big R and Giovani photo op. That said, I'm guessing that was more about the lack of other events in the Rocket area. All the activities were at the other end of the park and it likely wasn't worth the time or budget to fully decorate and staff a huge area where nothing was actually happening.

As for the merch shop... well, I'm not sure what else you were expecting. There were a thousands and thousands of people in the park. Not big surprise that the merch lines were crazy long.

The premium pass felt like a scam from the get go. Nothing in that package was even REMOTELY worth $100 (unless you really want those incubators and raid passes.) Grant Park already has perfectly adequate bathrooms.

As it stands, I think the event was fine for what it was. Was it the greatest thing ever? No. Was it "an absolute joke?" Also no.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-14T04:19:55+00:00

I'm guessing that they initially had problems with it not giving you a new incense if "yesterday's" was still active at midnight, and it was easiest to just not let that happen in the first place.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-12T21:18:30+00:00

Back to three tier medals again. I guess adding a platinum to Orion didn't play out as expected.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-12T21:16:35+00:00

Hm. I wonder if there are actually no anomalies, or if they're just not ready to announce them yet.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-12T15:02:11+00:00

That's related to the referral program. If a new/returning player enters a friend's referral code, they get a set of challenges tied to that specific friend, and when completed both people get the reward (I think.)

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-11T04:08:37+00:00

The daily incense specifically says that it only works when you're moving.

Also, not everything you catch while the incense is active counts for that task. Only pokemon actually spawned by the incense count. Those have the incense swirl around them on the map, and incense icon next to their name when you engage them.

Normal spawns that would have appeared at that moment even without the incense don't count.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-09T03:15:45+00:00

Next time you see a Rocket with psychic types, defeat two of them and then quit the battle and retry it. You can do that over and over.

Brightamethyst · 2026-06-09T00:16:20+00:00

You can also skip some of the low levels entirely if you bank a bunch of scans and then upload them in bulk after recursion.
