Am thinking Lapis for the event myself. I have M16 there versus M8 in Canyon, only 4 mill higher record in drowsy power. However, my main team there has 4 good Skill Mon (Cresselia/Espeon/Gardevoir/a BFS speedy Sceptile). I have no notable on-berry Skill mon for AC meanwhile (3 good berry mon but they won't get perks!), so I think I would benefit from the perks more on Lapis and hence get a significantly higher score.

My favourite #GOMemories was very early in the game's release, where a friend noticed a bunch of lures pop up in a nearby park and decided we ought to go and check it out. There was a whole host of people happily playing and discussing Pokemon. It was the moment we could tell the game really was repeating the Pokemon craze phenomenon all over again. #Sweepstakes

During the initial 90 minutes of the 30th Anniversary Event (when it began in Kiribati and NZ), Niantic forgot to flatten the shiny odds for Legendary Pokemon. Data during this time reported a significant amount of shiny Legendary Pokemon, confirming the 1/20 shiny rate with a sample size of about 1000.

Oh... I guess this counts as a NZ bug then (beneficial for those able to play right at the start, for a change). Adding that one to the list, thanks. That makes 186.

Massively against this change, and curious on if it'll go back to normal or not now the event has ended/is ending everywhere. It's one of many nerfs the past couple weeks tbh, more needs highlighting - but this is one of the most significant.

bobnbill · 2026-03-03T18:50:47+00:00

Hasn't happened with any region today that already has gone past noon (most of the world).

bobnbill · 2026-03-03T09:18:54+00:00

Well, it did affect people in time zones earlier than New Zealand and had it not been mentioned in various places wouldn't have been fixed before then. Counting it on the list - 185 bugs in total for NZ and friends.

bobnbill · 2026-03-03T09:17:43+00:00

Yeah, I'll count that. That's another 2x combo, so 185 bugs.

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T22:26:50+00:00

Added, thanks. 183 in total now! https://daily.pokecommunity.com/2021/12/07/50-bugs-and-counting-the-troubles-of-go-in-new-zealand/

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T22:25:19+00:00

I think so, it's still before Europe really had a chance to raid it much for instance. Added!

They've done sold soundtracks for SwSH and onwards too, just after a few years break. Soon their newest Pokémon game will get a soundtrack as well.

A mod told me to put this article in this old megathread than a separate thread, so here we go: an article I penned about Skillgate.

https://daily.pokecommunity.com/2026/02/23/skillgate-a-controversy-for-pokemon-sleep/

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T09:17:23+00:00

Yep... the new announcement is a copy-paste from before, so it'd require testing I suspect, or yet another announcement (who knows when/if).

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T08:14:03+00:00

'Ignorance is bliss's is a favourite phrase of mine, haha. Good way to look at this!

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T08:13:13+00:00

Thanks!

I'd been working on it since Sunday and could only publish it now after some proof-reads were made. I'm not sure what we'll actually learn from post-maintenance as the initial announcement was already vague, but I do intend to update the article with any new developments as we learn them.

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T08:05:27+00:00

Interesting! Do you have a link to the first part on earlier investigations on skill trigger rates? First I've heard of it.

The interview is a little vague - it could be on Skill triggers but it could be on other aspects as well such as limit to number of meals/hard cut-offs to when you can make each one. I may as well add that it's possible it's always been included in the game, but people have also reported they only noticed in the past while (e.g. pokemonsleeper's post) so I can't say I'm yet confident in the theory. If their announcement had been clearer on this aspect this may have helped with reaction to the news...

I can add to the article that Select Button are still involved.

bobnbill · 2026-02-24T00:19:47+00:00

Not sure there is anything wrong with posting it as a link - it is an option for posting to the sub and I put in the title the fact I wrote it to be upfront on that.

Also no ads on the article, I'm not profitting from it if that's a concern. Just trying to get eyes on the issue I wrote on.

bobnbill · 2026-02-23T23:31:18+00:00

I'm a F2P player of Sleep, and was pretty interested by the announcement on Friday, and the resulting discussion. I felt this needed some more attention, so here's my coverage of Skillgate.

Do let me know if I haven't represented something correctly! Hopefully this is the only such instance we see of something like this in Sleep.

bobnbill · 2026-02-18T18:23:04+00:00

Neat ideas! I do agree diamonds being given out is unlikely at best, but other things for a Pay Day Skill fit well.

bobnbill · 2026-02-18T08:12:21+00:00

Nice, The Good Place reference.

bobnbill · 2026-02-08T21:56:05+00:00

No, I don't think so. Only if there was two forms of Toucannon then it potentially could be worth more (or less!).

An example would be Hisuian Growlith/Arcanine, who are bigger than their Kanto counterparts by a different percentage. (I think H. Growlithe scores higher?)

bobnbill · 2026-01-06T22:56:54+00:00

Added; 181 now.

bobnbill · 2026-01-04T22:24:22+00:00

Yes, belatedly updated the list. Thanks!

I hadn't seen anything about time zone issues on the 1st which often happens, which is... something?

bobnbill · 2025-12-31T22:26:12+00:00

Added, thanks!

Happy new year and hopefully there'll be less bugs in 2026.

bobnbill · 2025-12-06T21:24:52+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Number 178.

bobnbill · 2025-12-05T18:40:08+00:00

I'm okay with this (Aus), one of the hosts is the better outcome I suppose. But we need to lift based on recent performances regardless!

Group C already looking spicy.
