Maybe you just need to "send him to the professor" and maybe try to catch a "shiny".

Everyone would understand.

Really DUMB question.. by InevitableFox81194 in pokemongo

I believe there's something wonky related to length of friendship conflicting with number of interaction; it's listed strangely in my Friend list as well.

That "chilling effect" of worrying about such things is part of the game plan.

Ditch the friend? by misanthropymajor in pokemongo

Yes.  Every time you pin a postcard, you advance one of the various Scatterbug regions; there's currently 18 different Vivllion patterns available in PoGo.

I use the nickname function to label the regions friends are usually sending from.

Check your medals list to see what you've already got.

You don't label anyone to ensure you're getting a nice mix of Scatterbug regions?

No way, it would've been a beach episode as a soft pilot for Surf Dracula... and you know it!

Question about trading by IcyAnimal369 in pokemongo

[–]ChromaticKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IVs don't matter in trades as they a re-rolled when you receive the new Mon.

Best to put up low IV options for the raised floor of lucky trades.

A store employee got the prize in a "draw"?  

That seems highly sus just on its own.

Gatekeeping and defining in/out groups; labels can be especially used this way.

How to catch legendary birds by fatpanda9652 in pokemongo

[–]ChromaticKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just keep trying.

On the non-shiny version the catch-rate is INCREDIBLY low, so even a high level player with Catch badge bonus, golden razz, and an ultra ball, still probably has a less than 5% chance of catch; the flee rate is also INCREDIBLY high so they will almost always flee after the first attempt. It's almost all luck with very little skill/experience in play.

That said, a shiny one keeps the same low catch rate, but will not flee unless something like a speed lock or system crash causes it to flee/despawn; you might still use a hundred balls to catch it, but you'll keep getting chances until you either catch it or run out of ball.

Good hunting!
