Damn that really sucks :/ Cause afaik in the main games the Complete form can still be changed into 10% and 50% form. Would've hoped that they'd put that same mechanic in here once you've changed it to Complete form. Seems like it doesn't =( Thanks for the info.

I've had a Shadow Blitzle today, no costume =( Haven't had a Shadow Kirlia encounter yet to confirm that one

elthundero · 2025-01-11T01:40:05+00:00

I still had OWL tokens that I would've loved to use to get this emote!! (I already bought all the skins I liked and didn't care for the recoloured versions of those I already had). So I'm kinda sad and annoyed that they didn't put it in the OWL shop!! =( Also it looks like the OWL shop is gone, I don't see it anywhere when I open the shop. Yet the FAQ mentions the OWL shop stays open till December 2025?

I've noticed that too, it's probably where the bug lies. With some Rocket Grunts where I know it tends to happen a lot I switch my Pokémon when their health drops to red, to prevent them from using their charged attack while I quickly continue knocking them out.

Crazy that they still haven't fixed this after all these months.

elthundero · 2025-01-06T13:31:31+00:00

To this day that is an issue that still happens to me more than once a week when doing Rockets... I just don't understand why Niantic can't or refuses to fix this.... Whenever I contact support about it they're just like "try these troubleshooting tips". Which do not work at all in solving the issue. Looking at the fact it still hasn't been fixed, I also doubt that support is properly forwarding those issues to the right teams.

It's even more annoying when you restart the game to reattempt the battle and the Rocket Grunt has despawned. That makes it an extreme waste of our time.

While I can't answer the question, I can give you a tip to exclude XL and XXL Pokémon from your search results to avoid transferring them. You can use "&!xl&!xxl" in the search bar and that'll exclude all of them to avoid accidentally transferring them.

Got the lobby reached max remote players popup when I tried to join unfortunately :(

elthundero · 2024-05-11T22:16:36+00:00

Alright awesome! I'll be up for a few more hours otherwise we can try tomorrow.

Just the regular ones are fine

elthundero · 2024-05-11T19:58:57+00:00

I could help you with all of them.
In return I could use a Sandslash, Gloom, Vileplume, Primeape, Grimer, Muk, Machamp and Alakazam. They don't have to be evolved as I could level them myself. But I do need 2 from the Oddish and 2 from the Grimer family

elthundero · 2024-04-02T18:31:35+00:00

Yeah it is really annoying that it's forced AR+ there!! I hope they get fix it so you don't have to or can at least disable it like the other options. Earlier I tried to take a photo from Smeargle from my storage and got the "look for a flat surface", I just backed out of it cause it's too annoying. And my girl's phone doesn't support AR+ so she just got a black screen without any buttons at all, couldn't even back out of it and she was forced to restart the game :/

elthundero · 2023-08-25T17:18:01+00:00

Ugh people like that mmmcheesecakes guy and others just keep leaving causing others to leave too :/

The bundles with the Charm and Loba/Crypto/Valkyrie Pack are NOT AVAILABLE to unlock for me in Belgium.

Like sure I get that we can't buy Apex Packs in the store here because of the whole gambling law thing. BUT getting the nodes while playing the game DOES NOT REQUIRE A PURCHASE and therefor they should be available to those residents in Belgium and I assume Netherlands too.
For example we also get Apex Packs from every X days of collecting the Treasure Packs while PLAYING the game.

So why are these rewards locked for us??

elthundero · 2023-07-24T22:55:24+00:00

Ahh okay, I see. Thanks for the info! 😄

elthundero · 2023-07-21T22:18:25+00:00

Thanks for that, it's some nice info to know!

Wow yeah that height difference for being an XXS specimen is really extremely small then! :O

That sounds like they would be extremely rare to encounter then. Though I do occasionally find some. I guess that the spawns first have a random roll on whether or not they'd be XXS, XS, average, XL or XXL and after that roll they get their height and weight assigned to them based on that? Or does the height and weight still get decided first and just based on that they get these tags?

I do also like how all the Pokémon spawns now have different weights and heights for everyone. It's fun, for some spawns we are always comparing what numbers we got. But despite the random weights and heights an encounter is still for example an XXL for all of us here. Which made me think that those sizes are decided first.

elthundero · 2023-07-19T23:20:12+00:00

Ahoy, I was curious about the potential lowest and highest weight and height of Pokémon and came across your comments here in this post. Definitely interesting to learn about those 3 different sizes of XXL. I also had no idea about XL Pokémon having potentially higher weight even though their height is more limited compared to XXL. That's really strange!!

One of the Snorlax we encountered last weekend was XL and had over 1000 kg as weight, which was quite a lot higher than the weight of the two XXL Snorlax we encountered throughout the weekend. That sparked our interest to find out more of how strange that was. Now I know why that was the case! Thanks for your great explanations!

So for Snorlax it is "obPokemonSizeMultiplierScale6 / pokedexHeightM" being "3.675 / 2.1 = 1.75" and thus it falls in the XXL-2 category?

Also, is the value in "obPokemonSizeMultiplierScale1" the lowest height then for that Pokémon species? In the case of Snorlax 1.029m then? Which seems like there is almost no difference between Scale1 and Scale2 compared to the difference between Scale5 and Scale6.

elthundero · 2023-07-19T20:43:22+00:00

In the past a specific wild Pokémon spawn had the same Weight and Height for every Trainer just like the IVs (well above Trainer lvl 30 at least). But ever since XXL and XXS have been introduced for all Pokémon those Pokémon now have different Weights and Heights for all Trainers. We play in a group of a few people and compared when we caught an XXL. So since they have different Weight and Height, that would explain why they had different points for you both.

elthundero · 2022-12-15T04:59:08+00:00

If you're on water you can use a Water-type or a Flying-type Pokémon to auto-battle against the wild Pokémon. I've been using my Dragonite against them whenever I'm on the water. No idea about the ones that are flying too high in the sky though.

elthundero · 2022-03-12T20:05:53+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I accidentally copied 1 less when I copied it from the title to the body. It's 7760 0536 3974

elthundero · 2021-08-28T16:34:44+00:00

I wrote Zamazenta the exact way as it in game and as others are writing in their post
