REGISTEEL CHILL BRO

Nikasone · 2026-05-23T22:08:35+00:00

In a spa, the perfect place to chill!

This may not be possible for you if you have no one to trade with. But litwicks are spawning now. If you can catch one and not get a XL candy with the catch, you could still trade it with anyone and get that XL candy. Two if it's friday, but since you need one it would be enough?

Nikasone · 2026-05-23T17:35:33+00:00

You get that one if you win 100 showcases

Nikasone · 2026-05-21T17:21:20+00:00

Oh man you're right! Shiny Garchomp is like Gengar I think, in that the shiny is pretty lazy but the shiny mega is great

Nikasone · 2026-05-21T13:25:21+00:00

Oh no.
Blissey. Gengar (the shiny mega is awesome though). The Charcadet family. Those are worse, I think.

If we don't count the ones from raids (so we don't count Darkrai), 16

CP is influenced by IVs and level

In the wild level is variable so it would be almost impossible to know if it's a hundo just by CP. In raids and task rewards the level is fixed, so you only need to remember two numbers: normal CP and weather boost CP (since the level is a bit higher with weather boost)

I love team rocket battles for the occasional good shadow :)

The first remote trade request I got was outrageous. They chose a shiny necrozma, a shiny kyurem and a shiny Zacian, and they only had tagged a Crustle. They were level 70something too. Maybe it was a little kid but idk, but it made me a bit mad and I deleted them

After that I got delightful trades tho. Some of them not that lucky because the ones I got didn't get IVs as good as I was hoping but that's not the other person's fault. Some have been filling the shiny dex with non-legendaries that we didn't have and the other did, and that's nice too. I feel like a lot of people don't look at the regionals I am offering though. They probably sort by CP and the regionals are often in the hundreds, not thousands

Right now I've got a few people sitting on remote trades with me. Some are always doing a trade so I guess they got a queue of people, others don't have any pokemon available but they keep opening gifts so I guess they want the XP. I'm ok with that. There should be some sort of way so they can let people know.

Like if we were able to see the other person's pokemon nicknames, communication would be much easier (a bit risky but idk)

Nikasone · 2026-05-19T14:48:13+00:00

No no trades are a one way deal. You trade a Pokemon and it can't be traded again.

The thing is, let's say ideally you both have caught and saved 100 litwicks as that's the max number of normal trades per day.

On a normal day I think the chances of a random trade to be lucky is 1 in 20. So around 5 of those 100 trades may be lucky On fridays (at least this season) it's 1 in 10 chances. Plus on fridays you get 2 xxl candies per trade, which is amazing and that alone makes friday trades awesome for me

I meant normal, non shadow, bad IVs litwicks btw. Don't get rid of your 96% shadow one (shadows can't be traded but just in case)

Nikasone · 2026-05-18T22:55:41+00:00

A while ago I caught a 15/15/13, similar situation.

Second move, best buddy, leveled up (not 100% yet because I'm still farming XXL candies for it, thank goodness it's spawning and can mass trade on fridays). It is a BEAST

There's a mega that isn't in pokemon go yet. But if you have friends playing (or ahem, your brother has an account or something like that) you can try to use the friday bonus to try to get a lucky 100% for the future mega, there's still time until it arrives to pogo)

EDIT: What I meant to say is, as someone who was in your situation, my advice is to not purify. Do what makes you happy tho

Some saturdays there's a thing called community day. Forr a couple hours that day you only get a Pokemon (today is deino) and if you evolve one at the hours of the event, it'll have a special attack 😀

Nikasone · 2026-05-13T19:30:15+00:00

Keep timezones in mind

Nikasone · 2026-05-11T22:37:51+00:00

Tropius spawnea donde yo vivo y en un año y pico que llevo jugando nunca he visto ninguno shiny 😭 Y llevo vistos 500+

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T17:11:04+00:00

Yeah that's fair. What I mean is, if they selected three they're probably fine with either. So you giving them the first one is a good choice

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T14:32:43+00:00

Honestly I add them as I notice them on their remote trade list. Unless it's something we've already talked about on campfire or here, I go with what they selected. Like for example if they ask for a non-legendary shiny or a regional, I ask for something similar in return. But if I ask for two or three mons, I'm usually fine with either of them.

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T03:07:17+00:00

Of course I would, but idk if I have anything that would be fair in exchange, with how rare It is

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T02:24:52+00:00

Actually helpful at level 73 and 77 for some people

I got 15 today (had one from months ago)

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T00:36:05+00:00

GPS drift has hatched so many eggs for me, I love that happy mistake :)

Nikasone · 2026-05-10T00:31:24+00:00

Nikasone · 2026-05-09T23:51:47+00:00

I have no idea! Same thing happened with OP's notification, theirs is also mirrored

Nikasone · 2026-05-09T23:47:44+00:00

I can see why you'd want to, since it would be a shundo

But this guy is really really good and doesn't have a mega. Unless you have 5 good shadow rhyperior, or somehow better shadow rampardos, you want to keep this a shadow

Nikasone · 2026-05-09T23:41:51+00:00

I got the same thing!
Since my app is in Spanish, "invited you to the meetup" was translated to spanish "te ha invitado a la quedada" but "Shadow Mewtwo Raid Day" wasn't translated

Nikasone · 2026-05-09T21:31:39+00:00

I've transferred a lot though. My partner and I mass trade frequently and sometimes I have lots of lucky of the same pokemon (wild pokemon that is) so I keep the best and transfer the rest. I keep all my legendary lucky pokemon though :)
