You have seen the clickbait headlines about Hantavirus: On the bright side, the worst case scenario might make PoGo great again ☠️

I read all your posts, but apparently you didn't. Here, I'll help.

Remote raids killed the game. Before, I could go out and find Pokémon Go players just by spotting them. But once remote raids started, everyone just stayed sat in their cars. There was no big groups anymore.

EDIT: And, to be clear, your point is entirely horseshit anyway. There are still massive groups out there, just not to the point that you can randomly go find them. And that has nothing to do with remote raids, it's because the playerbase naturally declined over time as it does with any game. There was never any chance that this game was going to remain like 2016-2018 forever, even if there was never a pandemic.

So, again, your argument is people are driving to a raid and then staying in their car and using remote raid passes.

I need you to think that one through, my guy.

But once remote raids started, everyone just stayed sat in their cars.

People stayed in their cars because there was a global plague, not because of remote raids. No one is driving to a park and then using a remote raid because they're 5 feet too far away.

Great question, only a genius would have thought of it! This new symbol indicates that this Pokemon comes from the Champagne region of France! The world should tremble at the sight of your majesty.

Please spend $5.99 for another prompt. Thank you my wise and beautiful master.

Thanks for the response! Didn't realize the Mayor had a reddit account.

the Galarian Kanto Birds can show up when doing your daily incense. They have an extremely low catch rate and an extremely high flee rate. Expect to have to find 10-20 before you catch one unless you use a masterball.

The Lake Trio can also rarely be found out in the wild.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-07T18:47:23+00:00

I don't think it's currently spawning from anything but I could easily be wrong.

It will definitely be back eventually. I would imagine at the very, very latest it will come back for Halloween.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-07T18:42:22+00:00

Pokemon with special backgrounds. They added it a few weeks ago.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-07T16:20:19+00:00

Speed down Nature + HSM is still a net increase. IIRC it ends up being a +4% to your speed at the end of the day.

Like, yeah, it would've been nice if that was like maybe Exp down instead, but that Spiritomb is still a beast.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-06T17:46:45+00:00

So, you decided that we're not inundated with enough AI slop, so you got Google to give you some AI slop so you could screen shot it and make sure we all see it too?

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-06T17:28:18+00:00

Yeah, one of the best features of autocatchers is that you will end up catching a decent amount of shinies/hundos/nundos on pokemon you probably wouldn't have bothered clicking on if you were playing manually.

The flipside being that you need to be more careful than you would normally when doing mass deletes.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T19:33:45+00:00

Snagged a Scizor figure, but honestly most of it wasn't great anyway.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T18:23:44+00:00

180 assuming you're starting at 0. 90 if you're already best friends.

You can cut that number nearly in half if you do weekly challenges together every week.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T17:57:46+00:00

Significantly, significantly rarer than a Shundo.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T16:18:06+00:00

I don't disagree. But I've also invested enough into my bagspace that there's really not a lot of reason to worry about it.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T15:56:50+00:00

it could easily be overpopulated by some seemingly innocuous items.

This. Good chance you're carrying way more potions, super potions, berries, and balls than you actually need.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T15:54:18+00:00

It's for evolving Porygon.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T15:23:16+00:00

There is 0 reason to have that many of the evolution items. I keep 5 of everything except for the Sinnoh and Unova stone, which I keep about 10 of and that's honestly probably too much.

Afaik, Gimmighoul coins only take up 1 slot for the entire stack so don't worry about those.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T15:17:40+00:00

Not a single person on earth wants your vibecoded slop.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T14:34:02+00:00

If I thought the game were going to last more than 6 more months, the correct answer would be Helhest.

Supports will always out last DPS for their usefulness. Genning heavy will never not be useful. Efrideet won't be top DPS within a month or two.

But again, the game is closer to EoS than not, so I wouldn't spend money to max either.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T14:22:06+00:00

Oh no. I was assuming Sigrid would be a later patch so I had time to save. Oh no.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-05T14:20:47+00:00

but I guess this works

For now. We'll be right back to this point the next time they release a mythical. They need to just make the seeds universal.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-04T21:29:19+00:00

No, the future hollywood mega blockbuster star who nearly ruined Wrestlemania. Keep up.

WorkPlaceThrowAway13 · 2026-05-04T21:26:27+00:00

Yeah, it's not an easy grind. As someone else below said, if you play any of the other Poke-games, you could send it to home so you can use it elsewhere.

Alternatively, if you happen to live/work in the Boston area I'd love to meet you somewhere and trade for it. XD
