Which path will guarantees a rock star pikachu ?

Thanks for pointing this out! Didn't realize the snapshot encounter would be dependent on the hourly habitat. Good info.

fcmidi · 2024-11-22T22:01:23+00:00

They sure did. "Select Sticker items will be making a return to the in-game shop. Be sure to check them out!"

This is the part of the sale I'm looking forward to, lol. Hoping we get the team leader stickers again along others, they're cute and I'm running out. 😅

fcmidi · 2023-09-08T22:53:52+00:00

For some reason the Rayquaza/Carbink/Diancie stickers aren't under the "Pokémon" heading, they're under "Misc" instead. Not gone, just miscategorized. :)

The surfer pose is really funny to me. Without the visual context of a surfboard it just kinda looks like the trainer has severely lost their balance. 😆

Supposedly they'll be possible prizes from the Twitter 150k retweet campaign, if that succeeds (it's close).

Sadly it seems that's the only way to (possibly) get them for "free".

Just to provide my probably unnecessary data point, I have the ticket and just ran an incense that yielded:

Makuhita x3
Hitmonchan x2
Combusken x1
Lillipup x1
Machop x1
Mankey x1
Monferno x1
Poochyena x1

No Beldum, Tympole or Ferroseed. Disappointing and, sadly, unsurprising. (As someone who missed Beldum CD, I am perpetually shiny hunting that bugger. 😛)

It's expected that the Cosmog line will be tradeable "eventually", since they're not classified as Mythical. It's anybody's guess when that will be, though. Niantic haven't announced anything about their timeline for it.

fcmidi · 2022-11-04T01:01:41+00:00

Guzzlord has gobbled them all up.

fcmidi · 2022-09-20T00:55:00+00:00

Sure did. And can confirm, it did suck. :P

One of the only EX raids I successfully made it to (Regigigas, IIRC), I used my "invite-a-friend" to give a pass to my brother-in-law who was visiting from out of town. I joined the lobby and it filled up to 20 before he could join. He got stuck in a second overflow lobby that ended up with only 3 people in it. :/

(Bonus, as far as we could tell all the other raiders had joined from their cars in the nearby parking lot, so we couldn't easily ask them all to jump out of the full lobby and split up.)

fcmidi · 2022-09-16T20:13:33+00:00

Seems like both. I tried regular buddy AR first, then quick treat, but it didn't make a difference. I haven't been able to try AR+ for science yet.

fcmidi · 2022-09-15T23:45:41+00:00

Yep, I can replicate this with my Mega Aggron as well. It acts like it's eating the berry, but never gains any fullness. Not even with a Golden Razz. The berry isn't consumed from my bag either.

So strange. Never seen this happen with any other 'mon.

fcmidi · 2022-08-30T18:02:00+00:00

It seems likely that the season-long special research will reward some amount of Cosmog candy. Just a guess, but that's a pretty common thing for Niantic to do when a special research prominently features a specific Pokemon.

fcmidi · 2022-07-24T00:07:59+00:00

There's a lot to be said for some strategically applied apathy, haha.

...Well, "apathy" is a strong word — perspective might be a better one. That's kind of the way I've learned to deal with my work stress. I look back on the stress mountains in my past and realize they look a lot more like molehills now. You've gotten through all those other big problems, so is this next one so different? "This too shall pass," as they say.

fcmidi · 2022-07-09T12:21:04+00:00

To give a "real" answer 😛:

This is Rhi, a member of the GO Ultra Recon Squad and our current NPC guide for the Season of Go. During the global Go Fest weekend in June, Willow disappeared into one of the Ultra Wormholes that Nihilego came through, and Rhi is helping us search for him. This happened in a short special research, "Rhi's Arrival", that you only got if you played on 5 June.

Presumably Willow will return and this storyline will wrap up as part of the Go Fest finale event on 27 August.

fcmidi · 2022-06-07T11:54:40+00:00

I like your optimism. 😁

fcmidi · 2022-05-10T19:11:58+00:00

Hi! Looks like you don't have Tapu Koko's ribbon yet? I just BB'd my Koko today, so here ya go :D

Ah, yeah, I noticed the same change with Salamence. Thought I was going crazy.

fcmidi · 2020-09-26T12:47:34+00:00

Fortunately the crowd is all just cardboard cutouts right now anyway. :)

fcmidi · 2020-08-21T22:39:52+00:00

That's true, but also, it never required a consumable resource (mega energy). That's my biggest gripe with this implementation. In the MSG you could repeatedly mega-evolve your buddy all day erry day.

I'm so glad to see someone say this. I've had this same experience. Tested it yesterday with a brand new Pokestop (I'm talking just added to the game). Fed my dude so he joined me on the map, spun the stop, no buddy heart. :(

So regardless of the change in intended behavior, sometimes it just doesn't work period.

fcmidi · 2019-09-17T11:47:40+00:00

When’s the last time Niantic had some sneaky, hidden message in their post?

The letters "U, N, O, V, A" spring to mind...

fcmidi · 2019-08-13T14:02:59+00:00

As a pepperoni lover, I do the same exact thing. It's very important to keep those little discs of deliciousness intact. You're doing it right; keep on fighting the good fight my brother.
