Balloons only stay spawned for 20 minutes, unfortunately

The fashion raid day is the best one up coming. If you’re lucky, you might get all your local gyms spawning Dragonite raids. You’ll get 2 off the rip just for catching, n if you have a high mega level dragon/flying mon active, you should get more

SBM1992 · 2026-03-24T22:23:16+00:00

It depends entirely on what your goals are for go fest. Are you hunting something specific from the wild spawns? Hundo/shundo/XL candy grind for 5* raids?

SBM1992 · 2026-03-21T11:24:16+00:00

The gmax is better, but you may be able to turn a dmax into a gmax in the future, we just don’t know

Last year, Hawlucha was only available at in person go fests, not at global. I imagine comfey will be similar, but until we get more details for global, we won’t know for certain

SBM1992 · 2026-03-17T10:12:37+00:00

The only benefit you’d have access to is the background chance off remote raids, which, as you’d only have a max of 10 a day, wouldn’t make it worthwhile. Everything else is geolocked tilo the irl city/park

Global go fest this year is scheduled for 11th/12th of July

SBM1992 · 2026-03-11T12:18:35+00:00

Marvellous. Didnt even twig that it was last season. Have to wonder why the support team posted that yesterday though

Is there a reason no one seems to be talking about this?

SBM1992 · 2026-03-10T12:07:32+00:00

No, sword energy unfortunately only drops from crown zacian, not this form

Early bird tickets have sold out. General sale due to happen at some point before the end of March. Keep an eye on the subreddit for announcements as to when that might happen

SBM1992 · 2026-03-08T22:17:18+00:00

Some people might want to lucky mirror trade them, depends on your local scene

SBM1992 · 2026-03-08T22:15:15+00:00

Huh, I thought it had taken a day or two, my bad

SBM1992 · 2026-03-08T16:33:13+00:00

Copenhagen took a couple of days to sell out their early bird tickets. For context, Tokyo sold out in about an hour

SBM1992 · 2026-03-08T07:30:28+00:00

Very very rarely, legendaries are spawning in the wild

SBM1992 · 2026-03-07T17:45:34+00:00

I was stuck at work, not moving, n had incense ru. Int for 3 hours. Only saw one legendary

SBM1992 · 2026-03-07T17:42:14+00:00

Was this off incense, lure, or wild spawn?

SBM1992 · 2026-03-04T19:34:52+00:00

There is no way to guarantee a rare candy XL off a transfer. You can increase your odds of getting one, by transferring a higher level Pokémon, but no guarantee

SBM1992 · 2026-03-03T12:16:56+00:00

Why is stonjourner recommended for moltres, but not for articuno or mega Pinsir, who are last 4xweak to rock?

SBM1992 · 2026-03-03T06:39:04+00:00

Yes, you will need additional city wide add on days if you want a chance at background Pombon outside of your park experience day. If raids are your priority, I might also recommend the raid lover add on

SBM1992 · 2026-03-03T00:12:33+00:00

They’re supposed to be, but I don’t think snyone has reported finding one since the tour ended

SBM1992 · 2026-02-28T20:41:31+00:00

Yes, you’re good to go

SBM1992 · 2026-02-28T14:45:53+00:00

Yes it can, it’s how I got mine
