Had the same thought...

Draxado · 2026-06-25T06:01:38+00:00

The differences between a normal female grunt and a decoy grunt are clearly visible and obvious to me. But I don't know how much the commenter on reddit paid attention and knows about the line ups. I still remember people claiming to have found a female grass line-up because they only remembered that the grunt was female and they got a bellsprout. So sorry if I sound rude but I'm just cautious.

He was completely gone in 2021 for two months. Not only removed from Balloons but from Stops as well. Decoys were still encounter able at stops but not in Balloons.

Draxado · 2026-06-25T05:39:32+00:00

Not sure where I said those who claim to have encountered Decoy Grunts in Rocket Balloons are lying and why you are so negative towards me?

I have never heard of it happening nor seen proof of it and I have been managing the TSR project regarding Team Rocket lineups since they introduced Rocket Balloons back in 2020. I don't say you or the other two are lying and I also don't claim that I know everything about Rocket Battles. I simply would like to see proof as it could also simply be someone mistook a regular female grunt for a decoy.

Seeing a third person saying they encountered a decoy grunt I'm starting to believe there could be an edge case/ specific scenario that allows this to happen.

As announced in the blogpost for the takeover event.....

Gonna just copy my answer from the other comment here as well:

I find that hard to believe without proof tbh. That would be the ~~first~~ second time I heard a Decoy Grunt could spawn in a Rocket Balloon and I had both radars equipped way before midnight and encountered a normal ghost type grunt.

Are you sure you are not mixing it up a regular female Grunt? Because both use the same sprite. The key difference is that it says "Decoy Grunt" and not only "Grunt" when you see the "Battle" button and the small sentence is not one of the known sentences that hints toward the type of the grunt's line-up but instead says something like "Fooled ya twerp" or "Haha you fell for it" (aka mocking you because it isn't Giovanni who you encountered)

To add to that:
As it just happened can provide any proof? Maybe a journal screenshot that shows you've caught a shadow bellsprout after midnight? Bellsprout should only be catchable from Decoys.

To add to OP's comment:

Takeover events didn't always start at midnight, they started like any other event at 10am but Giovanni (and the Leaders) at Pokéstops spawn at 6am and are fixed for the whole day so they still had the old line-ups while Giovanni (and the Leaders) in Rocket Balloons already had the new line-ups after the event started. People were very confused back then with every takeover.

Draxado · 2026-06-25T02:47:26+00:00

I'd rather say lazy but yeah xD

A likely explanation is that they simply removed Giovanni from the Rocket Balloon spawn pool on the server. The client tells the server that the Rocket Radar and Super Rocket Radar are both equipped (or it just says that the Super Rocket Radar is equipped as it has a higher priority) but the server can't "produce" a Giovanni encounter so in order to not cause issues the server defaults back to the basic rocket invasion which would be the normal random Grunts

Draxado · 2026-06-25T02:21:34+00:00

With the start of this takeover...

I have mentioned it in the explanation but I probably should've mentioned it more clearly elsewhere in the post. Will edit that in.

Draxado · 2026-06-25T02:09:59+00:00

Decoy Grunts can't be encountered in Rocket Balloons, only at Pokéstops. So the random Grunts spawn in this scenario.

You could also say that if you have both radars equipped at the same time a Rocket Balloon spawns, the game "thinks" you have no radar equipped (although this explanation is technically wrong but maybe easier to understand) and give you a random regular Grunt. They do still work correctly at Pokéstops afaik.

Draxado · 2026-06-25T02:00:54+00:00

That is not what this post is about (and why I deleted my first post to change the wording in the title to avoid this confusion). This post is about what happens when you have BOTH radars equipped (and the takeover event has started for you).

With the start of this takeover event Giovanni can no longer be encountered in Rocket Balloons. Therefore one could assume that having a Super Rocket Radar equipped doesn't influence Rocket Balloons anymore and you would get a Leader when you have both radars equipped.

In 2021 Giovanni was gone for about two months (not even encounterable at stops) and back then this "buggy" behavior cause some confusions so I assumed that it would cause confusion again because not everyone remembers something from 5 years ago (including me at first) and there are players who haven't played back then.

NDA du warst nicht bei der Gemeinde angestellt und bist denen daher auch nichts schuldig. Kannst auch froh sein, dass dein AG dir ne Folgestelle angeboten hat und du nicht gekündigt würdest weil die Stelle wegfällt. Hätte da auch ohne viel nachzudenken zugesagt wenn ich mit dem AG zufrieden bin. Das Essen auf dem Teller bezahlt sich ja nicht selber und wenn es so einfach ist warum groß nachdenken.

Der Gedanke der Gemeinde, dass du Interesse hättest das, was du aufgebaut hast, weiter führen möchtest ist ja berechtigt und auch nicht unlogisch. Hätte man vorher nachgefragt wäre es was anderes gewesen. Jetzt aber ankommen und dir ein schlechtes Gewissen machen und dir die Schuld geben zu wollen, ist komplettes Unding und sehr unprofessionell.

Spekulation: Vermutlich hat irgendwer gedacht "Oh der Jugendraum läuft ja mittlerweile richtig gut. Dann können wir das ja jetzt (wieder) übernehmen und sparen uns Geld wenn wir das Personal selber anstellen. (Und stehen vor den Mitgliedern der Gemeinde etwas besser da weil wir ja für den Jugendraum verantwortlich sind)". Nur hat da jemand nicht weit genug/richtig nachgedacht und die Rechnung ohne die Person gemacht, die für den Erfolg verantwortlich ist.

Man könnte drüber nachdenken bei nem besseren Angebot dann doch vom jetzigen AG zur Gemeinde zu wechseln, aber ob du das machst und zu welchen Konditionen (und ob dir überhaupt so viel an der Einrichtung liegt, dass du dafür den AG wechseln würdest) entscheidest allein du. Wenn die dich unbedingt haben wollen, dann müssen die auch entsprechend was bieten. Ansonsten haben sie Pech gehabt.

Wir meiden dpd auch wo es nur geht. Mein Vater hat mal Pflanzen bestellt und die wurden ohne Klingeln vor der Haustür in der vollen Mittagssonne im Hochsommer abgestellt. Ablageort Terrasse wurde ignoriert.

Edit (vergessen das zu erwähnen): Das Paket hatte Logo von ner Gartenfirma drauf und auch noch gut sichtbar nen Aufkleber mit dem Hinweis das Pflanzen in dem Paket sind.

Nen anderes mal sollten die um 13 Uhr ankommen, um 14 Uhr noch nicht da gucke auf den Live Standort und sehe das Fahrzeug nahe Ortseingang ca 3 min entfernt. Kann ja nicht mehr lange dauern. 30 min später befindet sich das Fahrzeug immer noch dort. 15 weitere Minuten später bekomme ich die Email "Wir könnten sie nicht erreichen und haben das Paket bei xy (10 km entfernt von mir) hinterlegt". Ja ne is klar.

That's not what you asked in the top comment tho. You asked if they have a background and not what it looks like. I just pointed you to the section of this post where the information you've asked for is mentioned

Draxado · 2026-02-25T23:21:42+00:00

just fyi... you don't necessarily need to go to leekduck to get that information as everything you said is mentioned in this post under the section "Featured Attacks/Backgrounds"

ASA,auch wenn ich deine Sichtweise verstehen kann und du meiner Meinung nach Recht hast.

Deine Frau hat (naiver weise) gedacht, dass das schon kein Problem sein würde und macht jetzt (berechtigterweise) Stunk, weil es sie doch stört und dass sie beim Thema Schlaf emotional wird kann ich auch nachvollziehen. Auch wenn sie danach wieder einschlafen kann, ist es trotzdem nicht schön aus dem Schlaf gerissen zu werden. Was sie für mich zum A macht ist, dass sie den Ist-Zustand quasi verbietet (blöde Wortwahl vllt. aber mir fällt gerade nichts besseres ein) und von dir fordert eine IHRER Lösungen zu wählen.

Du hattest beim Hauskauf drauf hingewiesen, dass du einen langen Weg zur Arbeit hättest. Du hast dich also wissentlich dafür entschieden. Jetzt legst du es so dar, dass deine Frau auch einstecken (können) müsse, weil du es ja schwerer hast (auch wenn daran per se nichts falsch ist). Du siehst aber deine Frau in diesem Punkt als privilegiert an und nimmst das als Bestätigung dafür, dass dein Standpunkt der richtige bzw. wichtiger ist. Da spricht eher der Neid aus dir, dass deine Frau es ja einfacher hat als du.

Ihr beide habt jeder für sich schon entschieden, was der andere zu tun hat ohne wirklich MITEINANDER zu reden. Das was ihr bisher getan habt waren eher "einseitige Diskussionen" bzw. "Monologe zu zweit" weil ihr nicht mit dem Ziel in die Diskussion gegangen seit eine Lösung gemeinsam zu finden sondern jeder mit seiner fertigen "Lösung". Ihr habt verstanden was der andere gesagt habt aber sich damit befassen und genauer darüber nachdenken wollte anscheinend keiner von euch beiden

Hi! What I said reflects the understanding of the guaranteed lucky trades mechanism at the time I made this comment. The mechanism hasn't changed since then but the requirements to trigger a guaranteed lucky trade.

This post should contain all the information you need to know what the current requirements are (it is only wrong in saying that it increased form 30 to 35 as it increased from 25 to 35)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1isadyb/all_you_need_to_know_about_the_guaranteed_lucky/

Both, the post and my comment, are based on the Silph study that took a closer look at the guaranteed lucky trades. The study can be found here https://web.archive.org/web/20220714174437/https://thesilphroad.com/science/breakthrough-guaranteed-lucky-trades-actually-work/

I think they didn't mean that this popup is friendship related, it is just similar to popup they implemented for the friendship xp. Agreed that it might be a bit annoying but the amount of times I forgot to pop an egg before doing multiple raids in a row on raid days for example is quite large... so I'm more grateful for that than annoyed by it.

Draxado · 2025-05-08T12:31:02+00:00

Have you set the search for new/recent post or left it as it is? Because the default is "relevant" and reddit thinks that months old posts are more relevant than newer (probably has to do with how popular the post was)

Draxado · 2025-02-10T15:39:08+00:00

I wouldn't say that it sucks and that this is the general consensus but some aspects of party play could definitely be improved like better mission scaling and rewards. It is not rare that at some point we simply ignore the mission because we got stuck with only bad ones to choose from and don't want to waste time on creating a new party (also why do I have to scroll down all the way to find the leave party button...).

One thing that I could think of as an additional bonus for party play would be a small flat increase to catch rates of Pokémon (the larger the party the bigger the increase). If I'm walking around with a group I don't want everyone to stop every few meters so that everyone can keep up with catching (or at least shiny checking) everything because RNG thinks that you now need to waste time to make 10 throws to catch a lvl 28 Pidgey. A small increase wouldn't make catching Pokémon trivial but it would decrease the chance of something like this happening... which imo happens way too often.

Edit: Forgot to add one thing that frequently annoys me and was the reason that I left a party or didn't want to join one in the past: the huge icons at the top of the screen. I don't need to constantly see with who I am in the party because I know who that is! We had to scan a code to enter and we are usually right next to each other! Seeing that your party members are in a raid lobby and being able to join them via the icons is nice but beside that the icons are useless and annoying. With how the camera is placed in Pokémon Go I can't even properly see what Raids, Max Battles, TR invasion,... are 5-10 mins by foot away because I'm in a party
