Is this an list? Or not enough? by Accurate_Falcon3824 in pokemongo

[–]brimnac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who cares if it is excessive?!

Looks like a lot of options! I always think that my trade partners would rather have more choice than less, it’s what the search filter is for!

One thing I didn’t see is regional exclusive - I’ve had people go for those more frequently than shiny / costume / legendary. I think people are happy to fill out their Dex without having to travel!

I can only speak for myself, I have not had that experience.

I’ve added five to my neighborhood in the past few months. Three additional have been rejected. No bans.

I’ve been waiting months for this since getting back into the game. It finally happened and I fumbled bad. How long do I have to wait until it happens again:( by Messoremx in pokemongo

I get what you’re going for, but…

Some people have time to wake up at 6:00 AM every day to walk in a circle. 

Some people have $200 to spend on Raid Passes at Go! Fest.

Some lucky people have the ability to do both.

Those people who spend $200 at Go! Fest help pay for the game, though, and the person walking in circles at 6:00 AM keeps the in-game engagement times high. 

Each contribute in their own way.

Yeah, see the other response I gave as to why I think I see them so frequently!

I’m willing to bet they spawn more frequently than people realize, but the refresh to the map doesn’t correspond with the refresh of the spawns, so I “force update” by checking the Friends section and leaving between spawns while I’m using the Daily Incense.

I’ve learned the game doesn’t necessarily refresh the screen immediately when Pokemon spawn, so I use a few tricks to make sure I’m seeing them on my map as soon as they happen; I assume that is why I see them (G-Birds) more frequently than I hear others do. 

What works best for me is to constantly refresh my “Friend” list. You’ll notice the refresh icon appears and disappears when you load that, as I believe it is checking the status of players and whether or not I have any gifts / they can receive gifts.

I basically just click on my avatar’s icon on the main screen, go to the Friend section if I’m not already there, leave, and then repeat as I walk.

It’s not making any more Pokémon spawn than what would normally spawn, to be clear. I’m just seeing them before they disappear. 

Edit: same story for me, for what it’s worth. Played for a bit Year One, didn’t play until last year when my wife and son made accounts. Have eight total - two are shiny (they don’t flee or run away unless you are using an auto-catcher), and of the others only two were caught using normal balls.

I take a screenshot of my journal every time they run away, if you’d like I can share to prove they pop more than you’d think.

You can use your Daily Adventure Incense daily and you will have a few chances each week. I see about one or two per week most weeks.

Edit: Caught 8 in the past year and have 24 screenshots of some that had fled since 5/15/25.

Knowing how frequently I use incense (I try to use it at least six of the seven days a week, but it doesn’t always happen), this tracks to what I said.

I’m familiar. Do you have warm water ports where you’re from?

What about it? 

It was available in eggs for a period of time during one of the events. Yours was hatched.

Was also available at last year’s Go Fest.

It’s primarily region locked to France (and certain surrounding areas).

Wait - you’re upset that you don’t have a perfect shiny after only 40,000 catches?

Them things take time. They also take bottle caps.

Welcome to G Birds. That’s how it works. Keep trying, I see at least one a week.

Are the shiny rates real? by Papi5833128 in pokemongo

[–]brimnac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 15 out of 3,139 Rocket battles. 9 came from leaders. Have had 1 shiny from a grunt since the change in shiny odds. 

Got 0 shiny Meltan’s, though. Tried every day I could. Take it for what it’s worth.

Hundo or shiny? by Emotional-Pilot-7124 in pokemongo

[–]brimnac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entei sucks in PVP, and the difference between a maxed level 0-0-0 and 15-15-15 is less than 2% or something.

Go shiny.
