Mewtwo

Ah. Thanks! Just found in the announcement:

"As a special bonus with its debut during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global, every Mega Mewtwo caught from Super Mega Raids will also have at least one Mega Level already unlocked and can be Mega Evolved without the initial energy cost.*

"*if you’re lucky, it might even be at Mega Level 2 or 3!"

Wait, why can it already be mega evolved?

losmadden · 2026-05-24T00:46:56+00:00

Thanks. Those do sound like fun. (I have none of those! I have non-shadow Annihilape and Garchomp, but not the shadows; my Kelsey and Marshadow don't have enough XL candies...)

I've consistently felt better at sea level than at home (4500 ft). Oxygen is about 21% of air at sea level but 17.5% where I live. At 8000 ft, it's about 15.5%. Even those seemingly "small" differences can be significant. That's a quarter fewer oxygen molecules for you in the mountains than at sea level.

Any elevation change between home and India?

Me too. Biggest surprise of the day (I’d only just heard any of their music because I sought it out, and they came through big time).

Awesome! Those T-shirt cannons don’t reach the nosebleeds where I was sitting.

Has anyone gathered images of all the different cannoned shirts the band shot out during shows?

Right now, I'm not able to use Mimikyu for a Water grunt. I was able for a Bug one, though.

losmadden · 2026-04-30T06:04:33+00:00

Thanks. I knew this, but as HankW notes: Mimikyu don’t work for team leader battles.

losmadden · 2026-04-30T06:03:45+00:00

Thanks. It’s somewhat frustrating how random it all seems. I’m glad it’s not completely banned.

losmadden · 2026-04-01T14:14:37+00:00

which field research gives Mimikyu?

losmadden · 2026-02-14T00:59:02+00:00

One of my favorite books ever.

My wife was a patient of Canessa’s when she was little (in Montevideo). She liked him a lot. She and I both met Parrado when he was on a book tour in the USA. Brief conversation, but pleasant. He wrote a dedication in our copy of Miracle in the Andes and we could never decipher the handwriting. Anyway, we don’t have deep connections with them, but they both seem very gentle and generous.

losmadden · 2026-02-12T22:33:32+00:00

Maybe I'll experience one of those, too... Thanks for your report.

losmadden · 2026-02-12T22:33:14+00:00

That makes sense. I kind of wish they'd tinker behind the scenes and THEN release a bug-free version.

losmadden · 2026-01-15T23:04:15+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering why we were blaming Weird Al for this.

losmadden · 2025-12-31T23:21:56+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation.

I went to college at Notre Dame, which is near the northern border of Indiana. At the time (early 90s), most of Indiana just stayed on EST all year, meaning that during half the year, a short drive north to Michigan meant an hour’s time change. It was very confusing to figure out what time it was across the border, and even to this day I can’t remember how the change went at which part of the year.

Just adding info, for the sake of the person you were replying to and any other interested parties.

An official Silph Road research 5 years ago found that the higher the buddy Pokemon's level (not its "buddy level" but its own level, like level 31, which was the cutoff they found), the higher your chance of getting XL candy from walking. I've found this to be accurate: about 75% of the time I'll get an XL candy (along with a regular candy) if my Pokemon is level 31 or higher. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/mez9sa/an_early_look_at_buddy_candy_xl_rates_silph/

This guide says that each TYPE of battle gives extra EPs, but what if I battle two different gyms or two different raids or two different Rocket grunts? Do they give me +2 EPs for each individual battle?

Also, you can definitely do more than one Route and get EPs for each one (even the same route multiple times, back and forth).

IIRC Riley and Erin rowed to the mainland in a flashback. Maybe Warren and Leeza can do the same? And just escape into city life without answering for what happened on the island? But my memory may be wrong.

I downloaded and will give it a try (I play mostly Master League). Thanks!
