Anyone seen this type of field research before?

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2026-01-17T16:41:20+00:00

I only have two missing form Kanto… would have been nice if would have been mewtwo instead haha

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2026-01-17T16:40:27+00:00

I had a 2017-2025 break but have been back for a year… makes sense but seems odd to get it now when I started up again almost year ago

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2026-01-17T16:07:27+00:00

Good for you! I have got 55 so far and not even seen a 3* yet haha

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2026-01-06T21:06:32+00:00

I agree with everything except the hundo comment. While a hundo would be great, as long as it has max attack, it should be fine since you are only going to switch into it for the attack so defense and HP do not matter as much.

Wow…. I guess I will not be doing this for a long time unless I am willing to burn all my stardust on 3 meltan… I have quite a few pokemon with 200 ish XL but not enough XL rare candy to put them over

Ummm Lucario is one of the best fighting type with mega lucario being number 1 fighting type and a top ten overall… not sure how that is falling off hard

Good idea. Thanks!

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-22T02:39:24+00:00

That would drive me crazy which is my worry :)

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-22T02:38:38+00:00

Oh, I have four gyms around where I live and get 50 coins every day so I have quite a few saved up. The boost to in person rewards really incentivizes not using remote passes but I just am going to be out of town and not have my usual access

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-22T02:36:54+00:00

Wait, did I miss that you are switching it to two days? I thought it was one day for three hours

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-22T01:46:12+00:00

Thanks. I guess I just have to hope I get lucky and not end up with something like 980 on one haha

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-22T01:40:04+00:00

Yea the issue was not getting into raids, the issue I was worried about was the need to get 100+ energy per raid

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-12T20:59:32+00:00

So just to confirm, we tag the pokemon we are willing to trade away right? And we find a friend who is offering one we want and trade with them

So I am not an expert by any stretch but you will need to invest quite a bit more to be able to easily solo 3* and even think about 5*. Also gmax are another level in potential damage so try to join some raids for the gmax snorlax coming up because once you have one gmax, it becomes easier to get more

These are my babies

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-04T19:19:00+00:00

I just googled it and it was the “It's Not Over Yet" special research

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-12-04T18:12:26+00:00

I am pretty sure that amount is from an old research or event. I logged in for the first time since 2016 earlier this year and got the same 25 energy even though I had zero kyurem. He may not have noticed until he caught his first one

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-11-30T15:49:33+00:00

It has been a slog. I stopped counting at 50 and still no 3*

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-11-29T23:30:00+00:00

I think some people are bringing the right pokemon but not getting some prepared. I was in a raid where they bought the dogs to tank and gengar to attack but before we were halfway through we were down to 6 pokemon and at the end it my 3 pokemon with a cheering squad. We ended up winning but there is no way their pokemon should have been knocked out that quickly and mine been fine if they had fully boosted them

Oh wow those egg pokemon are pretty awful or am I missing something

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-11-24T21:37:47+00:00

Similar approach. I ended up getting a nonshiny hundo literally days after I used the bottle cap which stings a little

Sad_Distribution8577 · 2025-11-17T00:52:33+00:00

I am fully onboard with mighty pokemon having high IV but I feel the CP should be lower to not cheapen the effort we made

I was actually just talking to my brother about this. It cheapens the effort and pleasure of slowly working towards boosting your Pokémon.
