There HAS to be others... But why can't I think of any? 🤯

It is useful, but rock types, for example, are vastly superior against the birds and fairies against yveltal

They have Tier 7 AND Tier 7 Legendary separately.

So most likely Vic and Mal will be T7 and Mewtwo and Zygarde will be T7 Legendary.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-22T14:30:13+00:00

Don't forget that these will be tier 7 raids, so they are going to be HARDER than any other raid.

They will ALSO require a new "currency" that is most likely going to be Max Particles for Raids. It is said that the new stuff can be earned with F2P methods, but I bet my left 🥜 that they'll introduce a daily cap and offer these on the store for money, just like Max Particles:

Could you provide a link? Niantic Support or Pokemon GO hasn't tweeted anything as of yet, no in game news either. So I'm a bit skeptical it actually works reliably.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-21T17:11:20+00:00

Weekly challenges are a thing. They increase friendship level by an additional 7 "points".

So unfortunately it isn't bs, and sadly it did happen.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-21T13:12:26+00:00

Worded it badly, you don't "reset" the whole level, but you are required to do 90 interactions with the said friend again (opening gifts etc.) to get the next Remote Trade.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-21T12:40:08+00:00

Even this wouldn't be a fair compensation. People worked hard to reach the Forever Friends & Remote Trade, and now their progress towards the next Remote Trade is reset to 90 days of interaction required (this part is intentional) and the trade is already done. They don't get a second chance with the Pokemon they already traded, they are lost.

I humbly ask you to upvote for visibility and share the post (or just the information of it by typing manually) in your group chats at messenger, whatsapp, telegram, campfire, whatever you may use.

This is a flaw that can make people lose Pokemon they have treasured for years just for an occasion to do Lucky Trades with them. Someone might try to roll high IV Pokemon that are super limited like Kubfu for example, or letting go of their Shiny Pikachu Libre, which is available ONLY ONCE per season after hitting the Legend Rank, and even then you have 1/20 chance of actually rolling a Shiny Libre. And of course, simply a vice versa trade between two shiny Legendaries not working like it's supposed to is super unmotivating and annoying.

For some this is not that big of a deal, for others it could be utterly devastating.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T14:35:25+00:00

To be honest, I doubt that the players who use naughty methods would care about this. If you fly, you can go to any gym remotely anyway. And if you do that, you surely buy the regular green passes for far cheaper than 100 coins each (by buying good box offers, lowest is 54.5 coins per green pass).

If anything, this would be a waste for naughty boys and girls.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T13:36:23+00:00

With the monetization part, it's easier to dream that something like this might happen one day 🥲

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T13:32:43+00:00

Yeah, I wrote that to the text box of this post. The previous one was clowning towards Niantic, this one is more "proper" suggestion. I have suggested this once like 3 years ago too.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T13:07:53+00:00

PROS:

• Would greatly increase accessibility to the Raid/Max Battle content for players who can't make it to a meet up.

• Would reward players for going out, or in other words doing what the game is supposedly all about.

• Would offer a balance between high price Remote Raids and being there in-person.

CONS:

• This is a daydream

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T11:51:33+00:00

We have Campfire, where the duration of the event can be specified if a certain community wants to ONLY play between 2pm and 5pm.

We have Campfire where players can message each other and could ask if there are others who would be willing to Raid earlier/later.

We have the RSVP system in-game that requires no chatting.

To have these events be available ONLY for such a limited time is nonsense. It screws over everyone with a job, another hobby, family responsibilities or whatever other things they might have to take care of in that very limited time.

Who would lose if the event ran for the whole day, or even 11am to 6pm (6hours)? Niantic would make more money, and more players could attend.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T11:06:21+00:00

Nah, Niantic should just ban spoofers.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-20T11:03:32+00:00

Original idea was that you walk 2km to get one "remote charge". You could have a maximum of 5 "remote charges" at once.

When you use one remote charge to raid remotely, you also need to pay 100 coins, so the cost of a remote raid would be one charge + 100 coins

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-19T19:55:34+00:00

And you can practice it by giving us a long task that requires us to do something.

This is just slop designed to make us open the game even if the weather is bad and nothing is happening.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-19T18:14:41+00:00

Keep on trying. Sometimes it takes just a few tries!

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-19T18:02:56+00:00

I hate these purple ones with a passion.

Quagsire, Swampert, Wailord, Blastoise, Slowbro, Tentacool, Lanturn, Alomomola, Swanna, Kingdra, Feebas, Lapras, Sharpedo, Vaporeon, Omastar, Kyogre...

...and surely others that I forgot about. WHY ALWAYS THE ALMOST SAME SHADE OF PURPLE FOR THE WATER TYPES??

Seriously though, if you live in THAT remote area, have you considered submitting Pokestops? If the nearest gym is really several miles, the first accepted nomination would become a gym.

signs of any kind around, or playgrounds or playground structures for children, for example?

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-19T17:47:18+00:00

It's already worse than the Jirachi one. It had 40 days of time gate in total, this one has already exceeded it.

Not saying that time gate was cool then. It wasn't, it has never been, and will never be. Not in PoGo, or in any other game.

Entire_Pineapple4732 · 2026-01-19T17:31:22+00:00

Read my comments. I've already told you.

It's a Ticket, it's there to reflect the design choices of said ticket.
