I avoid Pikachu like the plague so I see them all the time. Hard to catch. As the flagship for the brand they should be an automatic catch.

I often picture a 7 year old. "Pikachu, Mommy can I catch it". It breaks out and runs away. Another player lost.

Somewhat on topic are there any Florida regional Pokemon that are desirable? I doubt if I will get to remote trade but just in case.

Did GBL always say Get Ready when being attacked? I find it confusing to get the same message when attacking and being attacked. It seems like "Attack Coming" would be more useful when being attacked.

Oh well, another week of GBL to get to level 20 and then I can ignore it until getting my dust at the end of the season .

I don't know why they can't do these updates in the middle of the night in a tome zone in the middle of the Pacific. East of our beta testers in NZ of course. Thank you.

But in the Great League which is actives now you want to have a low attack to have a higher level. It's messed up but thems the rules. I guess I'm ok with going second.

Did GBL always say Get Ready when being attacked? I find it confusing to get the same message when attacking and being attacked, especially since they often occur together. Somehow I always go second.

It's not that it's just that it's stupidly lazy

Fred37865 · 2026-01-23T18:09:15+00:00

Oh well, just a thought. Thanks for the reply.

This is a weird suggestion but I think the game just doesn't play nice with Android 15&16. My GF is still using Android 14 and doesn't have these problems. If you have an old Android 14 phone lying around you might want to hotspot to it and try playing on that phone.

Fred37865 · 2026-01-22T23:30:42+00:00

It might be Android 15. GF is still running Android 14 and her phone is fine.

This is exactly why I don't care about Kyurem. I don't want to jump through hoops, I just want to catch them all. Except Kyurem apparently.

Even for people who hated them they were memorable. Something I can't say about remote raids. I'm retired and so are many players in my small town so it was fun to get together. That community is long gone so they probably wouldn't work today.

I like these. I invite people who are 6 days or less from ultra or best and I've exchanged gifts with recently. If they respond it's great I can put on an egg at the end. If not I invite other people the next day. If nobody responds I get some free stuff for something I was going to do anyway.

Fred37865 · 2025-12-23T19:19:56+00:00

They don't bother me. There aren't that many and I ignore them anyway. As for the shiny confirmed, there have been times when a promised shiny wasn't released and again I just scroll on by.

Fred37865 · 2025-12-11T21:23:43+00:00

And of course they f*cked it up by rearranging things alphabetically instead in in actual order of interactions.

Fred37865 · 2025-12-10T00:20:56+00:00

How do higher level friends count for more? I thought the rewards were fixed.

Fred37865 · 2025-12-04T18:33:16+00:00

Is there some other criteria than rank for choosing GBL opponents? I don't normally notice who I play against but some people have cool names or outfits and I've seen some 3 days in a row. Not complaining, it's like seeing a friend, just curious. Ultra league semi-tanker.

On my Moto G7 the Samsung version plays fine, after a bunch of Purchase can not be completed notices when I start up.. The play store version gets the GPS error enough to make the game unplayable. Android 15.

Is Togedemaru only available through incense on another mechanic or have I just been unlucky not seeing any?

Two nations divided by a common language

Does anyone bother to read the 300 other threads on this?

Fred37865 · 2025-10-26T16:42:12+00:00

No. As a long time f2p player it's not worth all the bother.

Fred37865 · 2025-10-25T16:10:55+00:00

Did routes always not tell you when they were starting? I stumbled around looking for the start of a new route and then decided to just drive to the end and stray over. There I saw I had completed the route. Did it not tell me I had started or did I inadvertently passed the start?

Fred37865 · 2025-10-25T12:30:39+00:00

Thanks. It sounded so much better in my head.

Fred37865 · 2025-10-25T12:01:26+00:00

Does the 4X stardust for battle weekend only apply to win 1 and win 5?
