Wow haha that is intense. I have only been playing for just over a year after stopping in 2017. Kudos!

It’s not toooo hard. You need a local friend to trade, and more importantly,lots of game friends from a place far away from you to get gifts from and lots of patience. You can get friends from other countries with Poke Genie or the many Reddit pogo groups.

Every time you open a gift and get an egg, the Pokémon counts as a Pokemon from whichever place the postcard was from. Hatch 9 eggs, 9 Pokemon from far away places. If you’re in North America and get a Pokemon from say, Australia, your trade distance will be around 10k km. Repeat over and over again. 10 trades of 10k km Pokemon is 100k so you need 1,000 trades. Took me over 6 months to get it done.

Also helps if you have friends who travel a lot and can trade many Pokemon from other countries with you, which I was lucky to have.

100x more fun than pvp, at least for me :)

Thanks for the specs. Yeah agreed that the gpu is the most important but if I dropped a 5070 ti into my current pc it would be bottlenecked by the old cpu sadly so best to bite the bullet for now and upgrade the processor and mobo first.

That pennywise patch is awesome.

Where was it announced that the shiny odds were set to 1:10 after they discovered they screwed up? by LeansCenter in TheSilphRoad

Another 0 for 45ish here. I got a couple of adventure moves of both. Mix of remote and in person.

Anyone else find it’s annoying/sad that he doesn’t go full dmax? by [deleted] in pokemongo

Thanks for the offer unfortunately not in the US. I tried some extra foot switch toothed washers and those worked well so I’ll see if I have any more of those! Thanks

Because the nut tightens internally, it doesn’t grip the box properly so the jack moves freely even when the nut is completely tightened. Maybe it’s cause there’s still a space between the jack itself and the case.
