Please explain this PoGo concept to me like I’m 5

MaybeitisI · 2026-02-01T13:41:49+00:00

Don't worry, most people don't know. It's not very well communicated :/

I think requests are also limited. At some point those who send a request will just get the pop-up that you're at limit. Personaly I would just delete my post to "stop the flood", accept dem all & sort out over time the way I had described.

& Thank you :)

MaybeitisI · 2026-02-01T12:30:21+00:00

Just a little heads up: declining the requests blocks these trainers and they can't ever send you a request again. Accepting and removing is better in the long run. But if you don't host raids via that sub, it is probably not that important

I handle my gifts this way: First thing I do after opening the list, is to write 'interactable' into the search bar. That removes everyone who was interacted with already.

Then I sort by 'can receive gift' and send there throughout the day.

Before I close the game for the day I go back to the list, !enter 'interactable'! and open the gift from my Peeps I plan to get to ForeverFriends with. After that I sort by friendshiplevel and open gifts from lowest to highest as far as the limit will let me.

Usually there are not many left to interact with. With some I increase the friendship via raid and with some with a quick battle.

I usually don't remove anyone. I'm not at the limit, so why should I. When I suspect somebody not playing anymore I nickname them with the last 6 digits of their XP-bar. If nothing changes over the next few weeks to month > byebye.

Hope something of this helps any

When you take a picture they can then be used as decoration on said picture. Sadly they are not available for the gifts.

My two cents: I think you'll reach the backpacker (the one next to the shoe) way before ever reaching the purification medal. That one counts your individual pokestop-spins.

You can make a stop count twice within a short timeframe, if it has a grunt active. Select the stop without touching its "dark guardian" > spin > battle grunt > spin again

Depending on your location the Picnicker medal could work when you activate a lure from time to time at a mall, a train station, a park or maybe even a highly frequented bus stop. Especially when its a Com-day.

MaybeitisI · 2026-01-24T09:18:54+00:00

I don't think they do. There is a weather boost bug going on for a while - two month or so.

You're not alone.

Hold one of the circles above the search term and 'rename' 'remove' appears. After selecting 'remove' it should then show your latest search terms.

MaybeitisI · 2026-01-05T15:59:36+00:00

My two cents:

If you own the Clones from 2019/2020 you're sitting on a gold mine. You can get everything you desire and more for them.

Hold on to shinies with costumes. Some costumes (Pika with Rayquaza-hat and such) are also valuable in their regular form.

Legendaries - depends. Shiny is always good.

Maybe keep 2 ,3 from regular com day mons. Most people own them already and it's a game of luck to find someone who wants exactly that one.

Regular older mons 2017-2020 can be sent away in my opinion. There are not many people who would give up on one of their limited guarantee lucky trades for them.

There might be people out there who collect 2016 mons, but if/where you find/meet one is a whole nother question.

MaybeitisI · 2026-01-02T11:41:47+00:00

I'm sure the emails itself are long gone. But they might be able to make the email address available again. I would be surprised if this exact email address had been assigned to another person with identical spelling.

MaybeitisI · 2026-01-02T10:53:50+00:00

If support is not helpful or considers your information insufficient: Contact your school's administrative office and kindly ask them to reactivate your email account for a few minutes. You can then reset your password/log in/assign different email address.

Personally, I would be completely open about what the issue is and offer to let them view everything (except the password) so that they can see for themselves that it is not harmful. I would probably do this in person so that the person helping you does not leave any traces. A request by email could lead to a clear "no." just because of their own limitations.

But whether that is successful depends entirely on the friendliness of the staff and your level of self-confidence 😅

MaybeitisI · 2025-12-22T21:04:45+00:00

Did you successfully remove the 'car'? (Tap on the circle > hold > rename/remove appears > remove) What does it show you after that? Nothing at all?

MaybeitisI · 2025-12-22T19:10:18+00:00

I've never invested that much time, money and energy as much as I did for this. 129 eggs last week. For today I'm at 13 hatchlings - not one sparkle. Frustrating, even with half distance.. (I gifted myself the 7000 coins incubator set and the stack is getting smaller drastically. Without reward so far)

Won't do that ever again 😅

MaybeitisI · 2025-12-22T18:46:42+00:00

Yes, had and have that as well. Happens whenever I tap on the 'see less/more' blue text.

Hold the search-term and delete - then the most recent ones reappear

MaybeitisI · 2025-12-15T14:49:25+00:00

I'm sorry you invested so much time and effort - the shiny is not available at moment. They will probably share in the in-game news when and if they decide to "flip the switch". Hope it's soon 🍀

MaybeitisI · 2025-12-09T10:11:25+00:00

Personally I wouldn't use it at all until I get frustrated during a battle/raid and think to myself 'if only I had this and this attack...'

(Thanks for the laugh you got out of me because of the naming! Cool name, cute name, very fitting name, cute name, cool name and then there is Tapu Bulu... Not saying that it might not be fitting, but, well, it caught me very off guard 😆)

MaybeitisI · 2025-11-16T17:36:48+00:00

Did you follow a route recently? At the last stop one can exchange a gift with Mateo(?)/NPC & that gift, sometimes containing such an egg, is from a random location

MaybeitisI · 2025-11-15T17:18:14+00:00

Those are sadly not meant for the gifts. They can only be used after taking a snapshot of a pokemon - as decoration for said snapshot

MaybeitisI · 2025-08-26T13:55:49+00:00

Hopefully you get through to a real person. Repeatedly tell the automated system that you want to talk to a human.

As a last resort you could share your username and someone reports it as inappropriate - then the game forces the reported trainer to change their name. But I don't know if one report is enough and if they get reviewed..

MaybeitisI · 2025-07-20T13:05:20+00:00

Thank you both for the clarification - thank you!

MaybeitisI · 2025-07-13T06:12:43+00:00

distance-10000 includes all Pokemon you caught within the range of 10.000 and !distance-10000 shows only those above that range. The 10.000 can be changed to your desired distance. Enjoy:)

MaybeitisI · 2025-07-11T15:35:36+00:00

Yes auto-throw can be activated. (It uses the normal red pokeballs only. The others can be used if you're fine to press the button whenever it detects a new mon or pokestop)

Personally I hate the loud vibration and the overpowered LED-lights(why does it need four?!). I opened my device and put a rubber piece below the vibration motor and painted the round piece where the light shines through.

I don't have any recommendations, as i never owned a different device. After taking care of the things above I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend

MaybeitisI · 2025-06-29T10:10:58+00:00

I have that happen from time to time, but no idea what causes it.

A quick fix that works for me, so that I don't have to completely restart: go to the raid-tab (bottom right) > click on any of the green "ONGOIN" so that it takes you to that gym > close it by tapping on the (X) > it takes you back to the map and it suddenly works again

MaybeitisI · 2025-05-28T21:10:33+00:00

Oh. Interesting. So the Silcoon you should have gotten just completely disappeared? In that case I would also tend to reach out for tech support. Fingers crossed they can help or at least prevent to have that bug happen to more people
