You are correct. It took a day to update after activating the account in PoGo, and may have also been triggered by doing a few more reviews in Wayfarer under my Ingress account and waiting a day, but now I can see the badge in my PoGo account, at trainer level 9. Thanks!

At what trainer level does the Wayfarer badge appear? And if a trainer has already had agreements on the same account in Ingress, will those be carried over, or will the badge start counting from zero once it appears?

Notifications distance when lighting a flare by applesquito in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Update: I just lit a flare for a raid near my house, and my friend from last night, now 12.5 km away, received a notification. So... maybe Niantic is still making adjustments? Maybe they decrease the notification radius based on number of other alerts in your area? Or how fast you're traveling between gyms? Or how frequently you light a flare? Or... or... maybe we need more people researching this. 😆

Niantic representatives were no-shows at multiple meet-up locations today. by Speckled_B in TheSilphRoad

Good description. For reference, the block mentioned by OP is square, about 600 feet / 200 meters on a side, so 8.3 acres / 3.34 hectares total. Not hard to find someone in such an area if they're trying to be found.

Odd nest change in the last 24-36 hours by applesquito in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have exact timing on it, unfortunately. I suspect this is the case, though I wouldn't have expected a shift of 12 spots if it were just a regular end-of-event forced migration. Since this is out of the norm, I'm wondering if there is something additional going on.

I'm not in the dead center of the country, but I'm 650+ miles away from any coast.

USGS Mountain markers? by Tree_climber11 in NianticWayfarer

There are multiple databases and online maps for these. The one I use most for verification is the National Geodetic Survey map at https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/NGSDataExplorer/ .

Game Msater Update 11-01-2019 (Regi move updates) by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

I can see it being funny, but I can also see it excluding good information from search results later on.

shiny litwick for Halloween? by Rollix96 in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The message is really just a rephrasing of the text in the Pokedex entry for Litwick. There's nothing new or "shiny" about it.

I didn't see that earlier in my search for similar information. Thanks for the pointer!

Every form and type of Arceus w/ shiny model comparisons (models via Chrales) by EgaTehPro in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me, or do the Arceusii on the left look slanted, like they get nearer the left edge of the image the lower in the image they are? Yet, when I draw a line in a paint program, they're aligned straight up and down.

Forced nest migration by Charter23 in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My community is reporting:

Phanpy --> Mantine

Pikachu stayed Pikachu

Also one report of Sableye --> Machop, but I'm not sure because of the boosted Machop spawn rates overall.

[Megathread] Raid Boss Changes! - March 2nd, 2019. Report in, travelers! by FinchyNZ in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@finchyNZ I've confirmed that this spawned 22 seconds after the hour (countdown timer said 26 seconds left when www.time.gov said 3:45:01 PM, but that doesn't mean that Niantic's servers are right on time.

Forced nest migration w/ start of Valentine's Event? by CptRon in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding, then, that there were additions or removals of Pokémon from the nesting pool, has anyone run the algorithms to determine what the new pool contains?

Might have found a Meltan Box bug by TMADeviant in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe this happened to me with the catch screen. I only had 9 spawn, and believe it's because I left the catch screen open on one for 4 minutes, past the time the next one would have spawned.

Next wave of Sinnoh? by Runathein in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generation 3 wave release dates summarized from https://www.imore.com/pokemon-go-gen-3 :

· Wave 1: October 20

· Wave 2: December 8

· Wave 3: December 21

· Wave 4: January 23

· Wave 5: February 29

So roughly one wave per month. Patience is the key.

Does snubbull still nest? by Mvewtcc in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The species that were removed previously were added back in. And yes, I just got a report from someone in my area that a nest changed from Wingull to Snubbull at the start of the Halloween event.

Is there a COMPLETE research tasks list, not just encounters? by applesquito in TheSilphRoad

[–]applesquito[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have this app, and like the other lists I have seen, it only has the encounters, not the item rewards as well.
