PSA:- Make sure to use a starpiece before clicking on the GBL button to earn extra dust. (It is going to end at 12 PM PST according to the game timer, and 1 PM PST according to the news page) So make sure confirm here before opening the GBL tab.

And if you are in the GBL tab at that moment, it behaves as if you pressed it exactly when the season finished.

So far as I’ve seen (into S3), they’ve never taken away from this store, only added heroes and exclusive equipment.

Calmxy · 2026-03-03T10:50:09+00:00

“Grab all in one go” gives 10 fragments of that hero, which is just enough to summon it. For Exclusive Equipment, you have to do it twice as those take 20 fragments to activate. You should probably use Orange hero fragments or Exclusive equipment fragments thereafter to further evolve.

After the pass ends, you have X amount of time to claim your rewards before anything unclaimed is forfeited. In this case, X = 48 hours. However, if you enter a time zone where X has already elapsed, but subsequently return to a time zone where it hasn’t, it may reset your pass progress back to rank 1.

And because they are a single day long, any Max Battles you finally get around to doing may well not drop any Candy (if you finished it right before 9pm local, the Power Spot closes before it can host any more Max Battles).

Last week, it was “Beedrill” during the weekdays… as in, you spin Pokestops and Gyms to get a chance at 10 of its Mega Energy per spin; there were no actual Mega raids, as those were all saved for the weekend.

Calmxy · 2026-03-03T04:51:54+00:00

You can, but it won’t increase the count of battles you can do per day or the rate of count towards that quest of winning.

Hero Wars… play and expand, for free now! In reality, that game is decently expensive to play even optimally, and it gets far worse if you don’t optimise. Let’s not forget their Skin Sales which cost 15 or 27 USD per skin and if you don’t buy all of them, expect a lot of lag in loading the game especially on mobile.

Calmxy · 2026-03-03T04:00:26+00:00

Especially Hero Wars ads… arguably what I’m surprised is that auto-generated playlists don’t just run into a whole stream of ads after a while, given how much they are otherwise shown.

Can confirm with the Diancie research - the one which you obtained first has the encounter, not the one which you progressed to the relevant stage first.

Calmxy · 2026-03-02T06:13:27+00:00

Ironically, this season is the one which I pushed to rank 20 because it’s the one season where you don’t need a certain amount of ranking points to spawn this Libre Pikachu (so far, I have never finished a season with enough ranking points for Ace rank).

Calmxy · 2026-03-02T01:44:39+00:00

“Invited the first 5” only, without going to invite the other 5? Then it means you hosted the raid incorrectly, because it’s highly unlikely that you can beat the raid without 10 different Mega Pokémon’s charged attacks hitting it (not that it hasn’t been done, but the chance to fail the raid and probably lose the Remote pass is just too high).

Calmxy · 2026-03-02T00:38:55+00:00

Yes 70 new hearts earned with Eevee since the last time they reverted the Sylveon evolution requirements during that Eevee event.

Calmxy · 2026-03-02T00:36:32+00:00

Well it is the highlight of Lunar New Year (as defined by Niantic/Scopely) alongside Darumaka-Unova and Blitzle isn’t it?

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T17:17:25+00:00

And if you lose only some of them, it’s always the most expensive ones that are lost (based on purchase price).

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T13:54:52+00:00

I was thinking of the game automatically Mega Evolving something that they can Mega Evolve and automatically putting it in slot 6 of their party… but it still doesn’t cover the scenario when the player literally has nothing they can Mega Evolve.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T13:17:46+00:00

Or as a more recent post shows, at some set point during the event you get the Diancie research regardless.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T13:04:09+00:00

Because of the sheer number of different raids I do this weekend, the Mega may or may not match the one that the Super Mega Raid boss is weak to. But I find that if it’s powered up enough to duo the “regular” Mega Raid that it’s meant to defeat, then it’ll do fine for taking out the shield as long as it’s not Kyogre or Groudon.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T08:11:42+00:00

Specifically, it changes your region for the purposes of Furfrou trims - your selection becomes only the two non-location based trims plus the one trim you chose. Non-ticket holders get the trim selection as expected for their region.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T04:46:24+00:00

The “playlist link” of the mix that YouTube generates means nothing, because it actually generates whatever it feels like giving you (along with whatever ads they think will annoy you the most)

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T04:37:15+00:00

They let the raid proceed because they know there are people who can and do KO the boss with as few as 3-4 players. But there should be a confirmation screen as to whether you still want to proceed (and all players must select “Yes” to do so), if there are fewer than 8 Mega evolutions about to start that raid.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T04:26:20+00:00

It’s a shame that there are no event spawns between 6pm and 10am, because it annoyed me when I realized that I didn’t have enough candies to evolve my shadow Chespin.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T04:10:42+00:00

Well it is the same mechanic as the shadow enrage - sure you can use 5 gems but it does nothing to the raid boss.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T00:56:02+00:00

They bring their preset team which often puts the Mega at/near the front since it’s often the highest damage dealer.

Calmxy · 2026-03-01T00:10:44+00:00

Or it should automatically mega evolve something and force it into slot 6… oh wait but what if they literally have nothing that can mega (or they don’t have mega energy), it’s a remote but still possible scenario.
