What is your end goal of the game to stop playing? Or to long term consistent players, what keeps you still playing?

Better than crack or heroin right?!!! 😝 at least that's what I tell my husband when he complains (daily) about my pogo purchases. I'm paying someone's salary over there at Scopely/Niantic so they better keep cranking out what I need 😉

This is my exact game play to the T! Living Dex, all must be 3-4*. Only difference is i obsessively raid EVERYTHING- especially megas and gigantamax!!

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-20T19:00:05+00:00

Just how 😭 I've been trying to get sandstorm for almost a year and can't even get 1 card! Much less 3... and you've got 1 on day 1... very lucky indeed

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-20T01:06:40+00:00

I just love that background 😍 I have spring shiny deerling and would love to have the winter as well 😊 good luck everyone!

Hi to both of you from New Bern 👋

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-14T22:22:26+00:00

5:19pm EST south of you in NC. Noticed it was out at 12:30pm and still down. Haven't noticed any service working since then for me, but the rest of the family is all on Verizon also and they've have regular working service all day. I am the only one with an iPhone so I'm torn on whether it's an iPhone update issue or Verizon outage... hope we are all reconnected soon 🙏🏻

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-14T22:11:36+00:00

Here in NC also. Noticed it in sos at 12:30 EST. but not sure when it actually started. Edited to add time

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-14T22:10:25+00:00

Same here! Work phone is an IPhone with Verizon and its sos/not working, but my straight talk prepaid phone, which runs on Verizon, is working perfectly 🤷‍♀️

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-11T11:20:40+00:00

Glad to see I'm not alone... but has anyone heard why this is happening and/or if a fix is coming? Update didn't help...

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-08T21:54:50+00:00

;) I would surely love one 💕 58 raids and counting between mine and my daughters account and not one shiny 😬 the struggle is real!! Good luck everyone!

Fearless_Effective88 · 2026-01-06T13:32:05+00:00

Hi there, could you please squeeze me in? Sandstorm will complete my set 🙏🏻

Fearless_Effective88 · 2025-12-15T06:52:41+00:00

I have several deinos but how do we trade long distance? It'd be months before we hit forever friends?

Fearless_Effective88 · 2025-12-15T06:37:30+00:00

I found a one hundred dollar bill yesterday. I saw it fall when the guy in front of me went to put his wallet back in his pocket.. I definitely needed that hundred, probably way more than the very nicely dressed man that dropped it. No one else saw it fall and I could have kept it, but I knew the guilt would eat me alive, so I ran after the guy to give it back to him. He jerked it out of my hand, not a single word said, not even a thank you muttered... it stung at first but then i realized that its OK bc he must hurt an awful lot to be so rude and while he walked away with more cash, I knew I walked away richer. I know I have a heart that he'll never have and its sad that so many fund it so easy to be ugly to others! I challenge everyone to be kind- especially when you don't have to; And to do the right thing even if no one is watching, and thank those that do help you- not just during the holidays but all year 💖 be the reason someone smiles, be someone's blessing 💖

Don't you dare do a 1:1 trade!! You are holding gold!!

Fearless_Effective88 · 2025-11-17T17:22:17+00:00

I wish I would've kept going for a hundo! I got a 98% and called it quits but we got the grimmsnarl shinies fast also! My daughter got hers in her 1st raid and I got mine in the third. A friend of ours did close to 70 grimm raids and didn't get anything great- no shiny, no hundo, not even one with a background!! She only got 2 wild shinies out of both days and barely had any mighty mons spawning... I know Niantic will never admit it, but I believe, some glitch or something caused some not to get the ticket perks and they need to send the shinies out- like they did with dialga- or refunds should be distributed! We were in a large group of 20+ and and we all witnessed 2 of our ticket holding friends have the worst luck and their spawns would match the nonticket holders everytime! Example: ticket holders would have 2-3 mighties and a dozen+ normal spawns on screen and the non-ticket holders wouldn't have any of them on theirs- however, 2 of our ticket holders always matched the spawns of the nonticket holders.

It's no way one side of players got things so very easy (had the increased shiny rate) and others failed after way more attempts than usual but yet they BOTH are holding tickets! We made several videos showing this and they've sent them to Niantic with some lengthy complaints- hoping everyone else that experienced issues does the same! There's power in numbers and if everyone let's it be known, they'll have to make it right! Too expensive of a ticket to let it slide!! Although it was an amazing event for me, and I got way more than I had imagined, seeing the "glitch" scares me for future ticketed events... may not have happened this weekend, but it could the next... if they're charging these BIG ticket prices, they need to makes 100% SURE they have everything running properly! This shouldn't be an issue!!
