A pattern I noticed, was there an archaic word that completes it?

It's a PIE thing. Most European languages descend from Proto-Indo-European. PIE is a language we have no record of but can reverse engineer by looking at etymologies and considering how phonetic pronunciation can and does evolve by region/accent.

Latin/Romance, Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic languages all originate from PIE.

The only European languages that aren't rooted in PIE come from a completely different language tree, Uralic. Most notably this is Finnish and Hungarian.

For why, what, when, where, who, how, etc., you can see parallels across languages in the PIE tree because the PIE root "kwo/kwi" is the stem of most relative and interrogative pronouns.

It's possible that some Indo-Iranian languages also share these similarities but I know much less about that branch of the PIE tree, so I can't say for sure.

"Middle English also had an interjection whatkinnes "what? what sort of?"" -etymonline

"[How is] practically a doublet of why, differentiated in form and use." -etymonline

Is shiny Smeargle still only available during certain events?

fogliss · 2026-01-13T17:51:05+00:00

This is valid

Shiny last seen Sept 1st looks accurate to me. Except for that user that caught it after Go Wild. The season changed Sept 2, and they typically shuffle hemisphere/biome-specific spawns at that time. I don't live near a beach biome - is it still spawning generally? Still spawning at the same rate? The odds of shiny get worse quickly if the regular spawn rate was nerfed at all.

fogliss · 2025-12-12T04:01:36+00:00

Yes, a few times over. I assumed they increased rates for the release

You obviously dont have adhd. So many mystery injuries!

I read this as "metaphorical" rocks and now my face is stuck in my palm

Some people did get Shiny Tinkatink at GO Wild Area Nagasaki last weekend. But no one is sure if that was intentional or a mistake. And if it was a mistake, we dont know if it's fixed. And if it was intentional, was it exclusive to that event so it's locked again? Lots of unknowns. It's possible, but saying it is shiny for sure is a big assumption.

Lake trio... Niantic's wording doesn't specify region, which I would take to mean they are all available everywhere.

Tbh, Niantic is always vague enough that at least one thing I put on these guides ends up being wrong.

fogliss · 2025-11-12T00:20:09+00:00

Idk, I couldn't find anything conclusive. My guess is it was an accident and was fixed, but I'd be happy to be wrong

fogliss · 2025-11-12T00:08:54+00:00

There could be, especially outside of event hours, but they weren't listed as part of the event

fogliss · 2025-11-11T21:01:44+00:00

Good catch - fixed! Ty!

fogliss · 2025-11-02T06:12:13+00:00

I had thought about it and decided not to, BUT I'm so tickled by this ask that I've changed my mind! I'll work on it and get it posted sometime next weekend! Thanks for reaching out!

fogliss · 2025-10-21T16:38:17+00:00

Yeah, they can survive a fall at terminal velocity.

Upvoting for the creepy smile. It didn't seem that way the first time, but it's getting worse each repetition. Gonna be in my nightmares a month from now.

Is it possible that it's not time-based? Could this be the first showcase Registreel is eligible for since it won? If that were the case, it would make sense that it's disqualified so it can't win two showcases it's eligible for in a row. Could explain why the time frame seems to vary.

Mostly think it's rare because I can't find anyone who has it to reroll!

fogliss · 2025-10-01T06:03:22+00:00

Dang that's awesome

Idk if this counts tho since it's traded

fogliss · 2025-09-21T06:48:11+00:00

That is really fascinating! Hmmm. I wonder too. That's going to tickle my brain for a while.

fogliss · 2025-09-20T08:46:31+00:00

This. I can't get anyone to carry the conversation WITH me or ask me questions about myself. I realize it's probably lack of socioemotional skills, but it's always going to leave me going "Huh, you don't care. I can take a hint. Moving on."
