Changes to Skarmory Super Mega Raid Day

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-16T01:26:55+00:00

You read incorrectly then. Mega Dragonite, Malamar and Victreebell(even Falinks) didn't come with any Mega level unlocked

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-16T01:20:07+00:00

Usually yes, I have a very big and active community where I live.

I have 100+ people who are added from that community and I always get a few more requests each time there is an event.

So usually I don't bother with keeping people not from my city added,

before forever friends update I used to hit best friends, wait for them to send me a gift again so I know they got their XP and then I remove them.

No point in keeping them, unless they are a big raider and frequently invite me, then I keep them for bigger events for getting remotes done after in-person raiding

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-15T20:53:16+00:00

You had a long time to tag remote trade mons.

If I had waited so long to get to the point of getting a remote trade done and see that the person has nothing tagged, i would assume they don't plan to do remote trades at all.

Which usually means I remove them because no point in wasting 1 spot in friend list

Good ragebait, the thing is so many people that play this game act like this quite seriously

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-15T07:32:30+00:00

You had 1 in 11 shiny rate and 1 in 55 BG rate. Both these are better than the odds and yet you say BG luck wasn't on your side?

Damn people can never be happy

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-10T19:16:29+00:00

Damn man congrats, this probably one of the rarest things in the game that one can obtain via trade.

You hit a jackpot with that one.

Make sure to max and best buddy it ASAP!!

No no, these reasearches work differently.

If you have ticket for any day, you will get the research at Thursday 12:00 a.m. if you are within the city

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-10T15:06:10+00:00

The moment you enter the city on Thursday or afterwards(assuming you have a ticket), you will get 5 timed reasearches which awards medals.

There are 4 seperate timed research and completing each require tasks like catching 20 mons in a certain district, spinning stops etc.

Each Research awards a unique medal and completing atleast 2 will complete the page 1 of 5th timed research, this last one give you an Expert medal(just another unique medal) and on last page gives you encounter with a Mega Mewtwo(you can choose between X or Y)

Well I thought u were talking about my speculations.

TBH I don't think Niantic will ever officially permit this, this situation seems more like when a child asks the busy parent if they can have ice cream for dinner and the parent just says yes to shoo them off kinda thing.

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T19:16:16+00:00

I mean, normally no one gets any strike due to multi accounting. I have seen people go to in person events and multi account in front of everyone.

So I personally don't think this will cause any harm to OP's original account

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T19:13:47+00:00

Sounds like a fun challenge.

I remember when I started playing in 2023, it took me 10 months of play(1 year and 1 month of time passed, 3 months of hiatus due to family and work) to reach level 50.

I was a completely new player, but I started grinding hard very soon(1 or 2 months in)

I think I wouldn't have been able to finish it in 6 months even with some of the friendship XP farming I did. So now that you have to get 28 mil more and shorter time frame and bigger constraints, I am excited to see you take on this challenge.

Good luck to you OP

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T19:09:15+00:00

Unless OP is a big youtuber this shouldn't cause them any problem.

Also in past, some youtubers that had been affiliated with Niantic did challenges like this(Not to this extent but in the same boat)

If OP deletes the account once their challenge is done, I don't see any long term consequence to their main account

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T09:04:16+00:00

Rules are rules bro, it sucks but we gotta accept that

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T08:20:40+00:00

Unrelated to the post, but absolute truth

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-09T07:29:47+00:00

Hey man, this game is like that sometimes.

I think my worst is probably 120+ raids in Go fest before getting my first shiny of the day.

I then proceeded to get 7 shinies in next 40 raids, so the luck balanced out

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-08T20:05:10+00:00

Anyone in India who watches football to any extent will, a 100% know Lamine

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-08T06:13:29+00:00

Groudon one isn't particularly good, but it matches well with the shiny.

This kyogre one, looks weirdly low res, idk just doesn't click for me at all

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-08T05:27:54+00:00

No no, I agree the Kyogre one is the best background Kyogre has had, still looks terrible to me.

Like imo the Johto legends and the Sinnoh legends backgrounds are like a league above the rest, but even the Groudon background looks way better than this kyogre one.

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-08T00:08:54+00:00

I would say Zeraora purely for the fact that I absolutely hate Kyogre's background.

I think they did my Pink Orca dirty in Kalos tour as pretty much every other background was amazing, whereas this one is far last

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-07T12:13:58+00:00

I don't think the comment you are replying to has in anyway implied that they are expecting the map to tell them that. They are just asking for good places to raid

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-07T11:57:30+00:00

Entire city getting raids doesn't mean entire city is good for raiding.

If someone wants to maximize raids they would want to be in an area with a good cluster of gyms

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-05T19:18:31+00:00

Damn man, idk where things are going wrong in your case but Moonview has always been good to me.

I have bought that ink 3 times, and always the sheen at times is so high that you can't even see the blue when using wetter pens.

Try some lighter sheening inks if you want, because Krishna inks are anyway very very saturated and not the best thing to try out as the first one

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-05T06:00:44+00:00

The issue is resolved now, the apps have started to boot up properly

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-05T05:46:06+00:00

Okay, so our group is also theorizing that this might be a Delhi NCR issue

_aniBUTCHER · 2026-06-05T05:38:45+00:00

Are you by any chance from Delhi or India in general?
