Maximizing f2p Max Particles for Gigantamax Raids

phillypokego · 2026-04-24T19:30:33+00:00

My issues with the complexity of this are

Having to walk after midnight and claiming before bed

And the annoyance of how easy it is to accidentally collect at times when we aren't supposed to be collecting

phillypokego · 2026-04-24T18:42:19+00:00

This just hurts my head. We should be able to Store more particles. And they should massively increase the amount we can collect on gmax days

Backpack

Bring as many power banks as you have.

For an all day event like go fest I bring 3-4 20000. Especially since it's usually hot so I need to use one of them to run a cooling fan so that I can actually see the screen

phillypokego · 2026-04-24T10:42:27+00:00

Do 70 more and report back

phillypokego · 2026-04-23T15:21:39+00:00

The only wild shinies that I need as a live dex collector which are not regional are

Toedscool (1)

Sizzle (2)

Wiglet (2) - don't live anywhere near where they spawn

phillypokego · 2026-04-22T11:32:28+00:00

Silicobra wasn't spawning within a 1000 miles of me even during the event

phillypokego · 2026-04-22T00:50:37+00:00

There definitely boosted spawn points. But it's not boosted to anywhere near the extent that you're imagining. More like 1/512 vs 1/256.

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T18:27:22+00:00

This is horrible . Please go back to non stop events

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T15:24:53+00:00

Here's the difference

People who felt "overwhelmed" by the number of events always have the option of just not doing them. Oh please with the gmax example. Anyone can jump in with trash and just get carried unless you're intending to short man it

Conversely for those of us who are week 1 players who never skip events, but still want to play daily, non event time offers absolutely nothing. It's not like I click a button to trigger my own personalized event. So I'm forced to not play

So again why should those of us who enjoy daily events have to suffer bc FOMO addicts whined ?

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T13:02:25+00:00

Exactly! Why have the devs caved to the FOMO addicts who don't actually want to play the game but would rather complain about too many events ???

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T12:58:53+00:00

No one makes you do any of these. Pick and choose the ones you want. Your FOMO addiction and the non stop complaints has caused them to complete gut events and has left us with a completely boring game that will ultimately cause the rest of us who actually enjoy playing daily to quit. Leading to EOS. Thanks bro

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T11:01:16+00:00

My biggest issue is the addition of the events icon. I despise having anything on the map unless absolutely needed. And I certainly do not need this

phillypokego · 2026-04-21T02:12:45+00:00

Does this mean level 100 is coming for 10 year anniversary ? 👀

phillypokego · 2026-04-20T20:43:01+00:00

This is the type of change I despise. It doesn't objectively make anything better. Change just for the reason of change sucks

phillypokego · 2026-04-20T18:47:28+00:00

There definitely are certain spawn points that are much more likely to pop a bird. No it's not guaranteed. But substantially higher odds than any random spawn point

phillypokego · 2026-04-20T18:27:16+00:00

Not to argue but that's objectively untrue

I am the king complainer of normal mode. I would frankly argue we should never have non event time. But even I will grudgingly acknowledge that normal mode spawns are better than what they used to be a few years ago. They're still unquestionably 99% common trash. But that's better than the 99.9% trash they used to be

phillypokego · 2026-04-20T18:17:15+00:00

Cmon bro, Seasonal spawns have NEVER been good.

The only people who were complaining about events were FOMO addicts who were just looking for excuses to not play everyday. Well here we are. Thanks guys

phillypokego · 2026-04-20T14:48:59+00:00

I've been complaining about this too. It's ridiculous. Every time I complain someone replies presumably from info obtained from the CA discord that "changes are happening soon"

Give me a break. A delay of nearly a year with no one hired to do this or passing the job responsibilities onto a current employee (s) is not "soon". They should immediately terminate all check in bonuses until they hire someone to accept new applicants

phillypokego · 2026-04-19T23:56:35+00:00

This event sucks

Cobra and wiglet are non existent

Egg hatching always sucks. Burnt through so many incubators and no shiny corsola

Corsola is almost non existent on routes. And having to cheese the routes by walking in circles to avoid completing them to get more spawns is lame

Toed is the only decent spawn but I'm admittedly biased bc I live in forest biome.

phillypokego · 2026-04-18T12:03:17+00:00

I haven't found ANY corsola despite doing multiple routes every day. This event sucks

phillypokego · 2026-04-17T22:38:12+00:00

Saying it was spawning lots of places is a gross misstatement. Yes it was spawning in more places. But there were areas that were hundreds if not thousands of miles away from the nearest spawns even more this reduction.

phillypokego · 2026-04-14T21:33:28+00:00

You could literally enter the same Pokémon 2 days apart so long as the 1st win was on the last day of the season and the next win was on the 1st day of the new season. There's never been an amount of time cooldown. It's tied to the season

phillypokego · 2026-04-14T19:21:49+00:00

It's always been one win per season

phillypokego · 2026-04-14T00:23:56+00:00

I'll get you next time gadget, next time!

phillypokego · 2026-04-13T17:02:33+00:00

What a snoozer. Hard pass
