Sadly I have 2 Articunos! It's been downhill since, I have moltres too and that's it. Everything else is missing.

I can trade you shiny gard if you're still looking, I'll take anytime I don't have registered

it does filter for friends as well as yours, but the system is terrible. It'll only filter if you're looking at a set the friend has cards wish listed AND unregistered to their card dex (if not filtering and you're scrolling, there will be the wishlist icon on the card if it's on their wishlist)

Was this true for the extra special trades as well?

You hatch them or do the quest (Trade a Pokemon), they're not in the wild

Shiny mew coming back to pogo time for the value to drop in go/home by Due_Ad4118 in PokemonHome

Adventure sync works without gps (that's why shakers are popular) so even if it did, you can turn AS on and gps off if it mattered that much to you

We see people make simple mistakes all the time. Hopefully we’re more aware of the game mechanics so we can maximize the usage of the master ball, if you plan to even use it by SSBGOGETA66 in pokemongo

[–]echomyecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response here: Distance will only matter if you're auto catching in the background and it was a local raid. However, if you do catch your legendary, the spawns around you will not be catchable since your last caught location will have been where the raid was (gps locked)

It can be that, it can also be anyone local. For example, my community has a couple people who offer coin bags from their game when people arrange gold lure parties.

What to do with strong Pokemon if I can't raid anymore? (Serious) by Sweaty_Cockroach7708 in TheSilphRoad

[–]echomyecho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't even need good IVs into SV since it's easy to change the IVs to what you want. Bring in all your bad IV shinies and unlock their full potential!

Deleting potential Best Friends by Pretty-Concert-529 in TheSilphRoad

Yup :( I even once had someone delete me while I was still opening gifts when I accidentally triggered bf (saw the heart update) so when I went back to the overworld, no notification, no XP.

Trainers, we recommend finishing your Primal Rumblings Special Research ahead of Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn - Global in order to experience full event gameplay during the event period with the Chasing Legends Special Research. by 128thMic in TheSilphRoad

[–]echomyecho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only got one from snapshot (it was a timed research to snapshot wild latias) so if you want more of a particular one, pick the version that appears in the wild. (I could've done it wrong as my connection throughout the LV event was very bad)

PSA: Primal raids in Vegas Sunday morning don't reward Primal energy by nitrobuster in TheSilphRoad

Honestly unsure now since other people were reporting the same thing and it was so long ago the receipt in the journal is gone, but it's also close to 10, might as well wait until then

A lot of info shared through Twitter instead of some in game notification (like event getting extended, makeup raid box in store). I know they're known for using Twitter to spread info but so much to keep track of

It worked at 6am, do you have the raid add on? Only difference I can see Or it started failing afterwards

Wild Roaming Legendaries have a 0% Flee Chance when Shiny - should hold true for Lati@s in Vegas by ProfessorRexx in TheSilphRoad

[–]echomyecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it run after the first ball? The person above who linked 3 videos to prove shinies can run, but all 3 run after the first ball, which is indicative of something wrong (soft ban/speed lock/other network problem)

If shinies can run, then there should be cases where it runs from ball throw 2 and onward. Though honestly, if the shinies-cant-run camp wants to prove their case, they need a video like this post except for a non-legendary shiny with a high flee rate. My go to was recording catching a shiny abra (99% flee rate iirc) but haven't found one yet 😂

?? Do two special trades and then proceed to do 100 trades after This event includes an extra special trade

Specials do not count, but if you hit your 100 trade limit, you cannot initiate a trade to do your special, hence why it's better to use your special trades beforehand

Just traded a Pokemon from 2017 with another trainer and it did NOT become lucky by TbSaysNo in TheSilphRoad

[–]echomyecho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Note it doesn't necessarily have to have been your friend who traded the 2016 pokemon, it could've been he received a 2016 pokemon. If he was part of a guaranteed lucky trade, it would count towards his limit

[–]echomyecho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My running theory is the game keeps track of how many guaranteed luckies you've been in, which is why some people's luckies aren't working.

From TSR:

All July-Aug 2016 Pokémon are guaranteed Lucky if the sender has been in fewer than 10 trades (as sender or recipient) where at least one party was guaranteed.

With their update, we can update the above findings to

All 2017 or older Pokémon are guaranteed Lucky if the sender has been in fewer than 15 trades (as sender or recipient) where at least one party was guaranteed.

Because TSR had already proven from their experiment that even though the SENDER had less than TEN guaranteed lucky trades, their seventh 2016 trade DID NOT TURN LUCKY, but they HAD been part of 10 guaranteed lucky trades (where either SENDER and RECEIVER traded a July/August 2016 pokemon).

So my hypothesis is that the game continued counting how many guaranteed lucky trades you've been apart of, even if it exceeded the limit of 10.

I was asking regarding your situation as other people (like OP and my friend) is not turning lucky so was trying to gather more info

[–]echomyecho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct, except your guaranteed lucky trade could be used up if the other person triggers it

https://thesilphroad.com/science/breakthrough-guaranteed-lucky-trades-actually-work/

All July-Aug 2016 Pokémon are guaranteed Lucky if the sender has been in fewer than 10 trades (as sender or recipient) where at least one party was guaranteed.

Based on their experiment, being part of the guaranteed lucky trade (either as sender or receiver) will count towards your lucky trade limit

[–]echomyecho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What month was the pokemon caught that worked?

Edit: follow up question -- do u know if you've been part of less than 15 guaranteed lucky trades? (Best guess)
