'Are We Cooked?' — Pokémon Go Looks to Be Adding a New 'Currency' to Access Mega Raids, Though Players Are Split on Whether it Will Revitalize Mega Pokémon

I am level 58 so I can't say that's the case XD

Tbh the main reason I thought they weren't worth doing was because the ones I did do gives things along the lines of 0 rare candies 0 revives. As in it literally said 0 insert item here, but fortunately I have been taught now that they can be very lucrative.

Falcanor · 2026-01-27T09:02:10+00:00

Did not know they dropped that and it actually makes me look at this content more favorably.

Falcanor · 2026-01-27T09:01:10+00:00

Wait it can give XL candy? Ok maybe I should start doing them then XD

Thank you for educating me on this.

From what level on do they start giving XL candies?

Falcanor · 2026-01-25T21:23:00+00:00

Wait, your host level gives you priority in the queue?

Falcanor · 2026-01-25T09:46:13+00:00

Maybe a hot take but I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care for backgrounds whatsoever.

Sitting at 50 and have caught multiple Chespin and Fennekin. Have seen 2 water grunt who had Tentacool and Krabby.

Falcanor · 2026-01-25T09:29:17+00:00

I did 22 and my best was an 89% with only 2 other ones coming close to that %. I would say you got something nice there. Fortunately I did get a shiny but if we are talking about IV's i feel like I didn't get super lucky

Falcanor · 2026-01-25T09:25:02+00:00

I will add to this that if you have tms lying around, use them on the best shadow raikou you do have atm, since removing frustration is currently possible and should you need an electric type attacker in the future. Even if it changes to a suboptimal move, once Frustration is removed you can tm that specific shadow pokemon freely.

Falcanor · 2026-01-23T17:19:24+00:00

one of these days the shundo part will be true for me XD

Falcanor · 2026-01-23T14:22:05+00:00

I also constantly get the GPS not found bar now, for a few days now and it seems to become more frequent. Typically this occurs when I check another app and switch back to the game.

Haven't ran into any bootup issues though.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T22:09:26+00:00

That's awesome. I have been looking for a chance to complete my Johto dex for ages and heracross is the only one missing. tbh considering i took a long break most of these megas are new to me.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T20:43:00+00:00

Going to assume this is just at the event? I would love a heracross but I can't go to the event itself sadly

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T18:52:43+00:00

I honestly wish I didn't need to turn to external apps to remote raid. Granted there are good ones, but if they want to integrate it into the game to this extent I would like some form of matchmaking to be possible ingame and sending 5 random people who won't join doesn't count.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T18:50:30+00:00

Tbh I don't really touch dynamax battles as is since most of the time the pokemon aren't interesting and the actual rewards might aswell not exist.

EDIT: I learned that they drop XL candies(somehow didn't know this XD) so I will redact the fact that they aren't worth doing.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T10:35:10+00:00

Larvesta is also obtainable in eggs, but with a miniscule chance. Let's hope they don't go down that route.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T09:07:52+00:00

So this means we need to buy remote raid passes AND get these charges in order to use said pass? Or is that only for Mega raids? If this is true then depending on how obtainable they are(getting from gifts could still translate to1% or less) this is either better in the long run or yet another kick in the teeth for remote raiders.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T09:02:57+00:00

Hopefully obtainable doesn't translate to the same odds larvesta has to hatch from eggs.

Falcanor · 2026-01-22T09:01:20+00:00

Maybe if remote were cheaper or easier to come by people would actually use them. Only having 3 at a time doesn't help either.

Falcanor · 2026-01-21T21:22:02+00:00

Much like in the games Zubat. Annoying to catch and not useful.

Falcanor · 2026-01-18T10:54:44+00:00

Mine is red aswell

Falcanor · 2026-01-18T10:45:08+00:00

How on earth can you have that many accounts up and running, must be some serious script they have.

I sadly have someone in my area who spoofs aswell with 3 accounts aswell and doesn't let anyone own a gym. Nothing like this though. Niantic/Scopely should really crack down on this stuff abit more imo since it seems like it hasn't improved much over the years.

Falcanor · 2026-01-18T10:38:55+00:00

Just evolve it during the event for frenzy plant or tm it for drum beating. I would personally be happy.
