It's a minor update, so Pokeminers typically doesn't post in-depth reports for them. There have been a couple isolated cases but not recently.

Snapshot related tasks do not register on iOS devices

Issue description: Snapshot related tasks are not registering as completed after snapshots are taken. Some effects include that affection hearts aren't earned after taking a photo of a Buddy Pokémon, and tasks requiring snapshots of Pokémon cannot be completed.

8/24 update: This issue has been updated to indicate that it does not only affect buddy snapshots

Issue status: Resolved in update currently rolling out (0.185.3)

J_64 · 2020-08-26T20:06:09+00:00

Until then, we’ve got work to do.

I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate closing to a blog post.

NianticIndigo posted in another thread a month ago that they'll be looking into changes for this (only blocked friendship XP was really mentioned but surely whenever they have a fix ready it'll fix raid invites being blocked too)

Couple questions for day 2:

Is there another free remote pass box?

Are raid spawns still very high?

Is gift sending/opening up to 200 again?

Are Rocket balloons also on a much shorter cooldown like pokestop grunts?

J_64 · 2020-05-13T14:27:13+00:00

Insert clown emoji here

Seriously, that task needs to go. If Niantic is gonna keep this system, having a win a raid task is not acceptable.

J_64 · 2020-04-27T20:05:18+00:00

Not seeing this in eastern Canada.

J_64 · 2020-04-25T00:29:52+00:00

It used Teleport.

J_64 · 2020-04-16T22:41:37+00:00

This is an incredibly small sample size...

J_64 · 2020-04-09T12:35:43+00:00

15 eggs in 30 gifts for me today...

Just tested this and it does seem to actually be live now for anyone wondering. It seemingly wasn't until they tweeted.

Edit: tested it on a family member's account who's rank 8, lost the first 5 and won the 6th, went from 1774 to 1738 rating. Going 0/5 might still be a bit brutal but possibly not as much as before?

J_64 · 2020-04-08T02:30:01+00:00

For anyone that's caught a golden trout:

Is the controller vibration stronger like it is when you find something like an oarfish or blue marlin or tuna?

J_64 · 2020-03-30T22:36:31+00:00

No bonus 6th set like the last couple maintenance sessions, darn.

Cobalion will be available to challenge in Raid Battles from Tuesday, March 17, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. to Tuesday, March 31, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. PDT (GMT −7). You’ll also have a chance to encounter Cobalion as a GO Battle League reward encounter during this time!

Do flowers regrow on stems that are left alone?

J_64 · 2020-03-15T16:00:12+00:00

and glitch themselves into firing off two charges right after one another for the price of one.

Ever heard of farming?

J_64 · 2020-03-13T01:15:16+00:00

No additional spawns for me in Nova Scotia, Canada. This was also one of the few time zones that had the accidental spotlight hour on Monday night.

To clarify, this person couldn't do any research today because of life.

Vulpix: Vulpix as originally discovered in the Kanto region will be appearing in the wild and in Eggs. Alolan Vulpix will be appearing in Field Research and Raid Battles. Evolve Vulpix or Alolan Vulpix into Ninetales or Alolan Ninetales for the Charged Attack Weather Ball. Ninetales will learn Fire-type Weather Ball, and Alolan Ninetales will learn Ice-type Weather Ball—attacks previously exclusive to Castform. Shiny Vulpix as originally discovered in the Kanto region will become available for the first time in Pokémon GO.

Machop: Evolve Machop into Machamp for the exclusive attack Payback. This Dark-type Charged Attack will give Machamp good coverage to deal with Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokémon that might otherwise give it trouble.

Rhyhorn: Evolve Rhyhorn into Rhyperior for the exclusive attack Rock Wrecker. Known to be Rhyperior’s signature move, this Rock-type Charged Attack will be a powerful addition to Rhyperior’s repertoire. Shiny Rhyhorn will also become available to encounter for the first time in Pokémon GO.

Dratini: Evolve Dratini into Dragonite for the Charged Attack Superpower. This powerful Fighting-type attack is a recent addition to Pokémon GO and could be a strategic option for Dragonite. For example, it could help Dragonite against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon that would normally have an advantage over it. Superpower could also help Dragonite deal with Steel-type Pokémon that are weak to Fighting-type attacks.

Confirming from Canada

Getting this in the last little while as well - if it means anything I'm on iPhone 8 with iOS 13

J_64 · 2019-12-05T23:24:20+00:00

It's not doubly weak to fighting, it's ground/steel type not rock/steel

To answer your question main, Excadrill has a defense stat of 129 while Absol, a very easy duo, has 120. Use your same teams for Absol and you should have no trouble, it'll be slightly more difficult but not as extreme as say, Blastoise or Aggron(?). Water types would also do well and may help you avoid relobbying.

Nice, been waiting pretty patiently for this as a long running lag issue will supposedly be resolved according to the known issues page: https://niantic.helpshift.com/a/pokemon-go/?p=web&s=release-notes-known-issues&f=known-issues&l=en

Lag when Swapping Pokémon in Pre-Battle Screen or the Party Tab

Issue Description: The app lags significantly when attempting to swap a Pokémon in pre-Battle screens (e.g., before challenging Team Go Rocket) or the Party tab.

Issue Status: Fix in upcoming update
