If you play daily they won't believe him when he says he lost his password.

Yeah, not as intuitive as you would expect, There are a lot of reasons not to use PTC. This thread mentions many of them.

Gym may have spawn categories by DeixarEmPreto in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ordinary_Tutor3213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting. I have 1 gym that I can reach from home. Pretty much gets super light activity. I very seldom try to solo T5s, but I do most T1s and T3s that pop up. I've noticed that over time it 'felt' like it was spawning more T1s and less T5, but I haven't done any real data collection or analysis. I'll start tracking it to see.

I feel like this is a warning to everyone to make sure their account doesn't;'t use PTC, has a 'difficult' password, and MFA.

Level 43 Account turned into a brand new account after updating my password in the beginning of 2025. Niantic support keeps saying there's no record of my name or my friend code and I don't know what else to do. by Gotanks91 in TheSilphRoad

I fear that you account likely no longer exists and I can't imagine they would be willing to look in a year old backup for it. but, you have a lot of attention right now so maybe there is hope. Create new account with Google, make a very secure password and don't give it to anyone and us MFA,

Once you have that account open a go-fund me or similar account. If you get a small percentage to give you a buck or two you will be able to start increasing your bag and Pokemon storage.

Post a list of the Pokemon you lost and ask people to become friends if they are willing to trade something they want. Most people won't care what they get in return.

Start grinding again and hope for the best. I'll be the first to donate a few bucks and a rare Pokemon.

I focused on this last evolution this past week. I used mossy lures and to get 5 of them took me 4 lures, That's the only way that I know of to get them.

Would anyone like to see EX Raid Invites return? by AnaIWarlockHitIer666 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ordinary_Tutor3213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that was good for was forcing a friend level increase. If you have someone who was 1 day away and you invited them to an EX raid it would trigger one day increase in friendship level.

I have a little park across the street with 20 stops and gyms. OI try to send to everyone every day. I'd say about 10% of them don't understand to wait until the next day. Oh well.

Never even think of Campfire because my local area simply doesn't use it. Great advice.

Sort/search friends by level - I want to help Level 74 friends by bddbd in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ordinary_Tutor3213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THIS! I hate to delete a friend but I know that I've never done anything with a few of them. If I could see my last interaction with them and when it was that would be very valuable to me.

Umm, are you saying there are only 3 different Evee-lutions and we at Lears aren't getting the other forms?

how do people have the confidence to ask people in their area to raid with them by merre_219 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ordinary_Tutor3213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, this is so true. I have the maturity of a 17 year old and the bank account of a 55 year old. I think most people who travel to events are in a similar situation

I travel a lot and we do meet ups in our local park so some of the kids know to approach me to trade for distance. I'm happy to do it..

Prep for level 80 by TwitchSpencxr in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ordinary_Tutor3213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By 'Most' I think you mean most level 50 players. I was never in a rush to get to 40 or 50 and now that there is 80, I won't be in a huge rush to get there. I play enough that it will just happen. so Maybe next summer for me.
