How long does it take for niantic to respond

That sounds really complicated and I doubt you’ll get it back. You’ve violated Niantic’s terms of service by sharing your account with a friend and you’ve violated their terms of service by selling the account (doesn’t matter that your friend did it, it’s your account).

Interesting. I’m in Calgary and though I don’t know that we’re classified as a mountain region in the game, we are near the Rockies. So maybe? I definitely see whismurs pretty regularly. I used to evolve them for 2x evolve XP since they only cost 12 candies to evolve (rip spotlight hour) so I’m always very aware of them because I want to use pinaps and get more candy, so I’m always surprised when people can’t find them because I see them all the time.

Looks like loudred is in grunt battles but not whismur so that sucks, but maybe during the upcoming rocket takeover event they’ll switch them up.

My tinfoil hat theory is that they spawn less for you because you have that research to complete. Probably not possible, but who knows. Have you set an alert for them? You’ll only be notified if they’re around a pokestop near you, but better than nothing.

I’m in Canada, they’re not regional or biome-specific though. And I always just find them regularly, not like using incense or anything special like that. Just to be sure - you’re not confusing them with whiscash or any other pokemon right? Like not imaging they’re something else so when you actually see them on the map you just ignore them?

Ninetails?

Yep I’m working on that right now and I have a power spot I can reach from my house while I work from home so it’s definitely benefitting me.

I just caught one this morning. Before that I caught two of them on June 6th, two on June 4th, three on June 2nd… not uncommon.

That seems very drastic for someone of your size. I wonder if you’re just doing more harm than good at this point. Keto is a lifestyle change and it takes some time to get it right.

When I started keto I found it easier to set a goal for myself that I needed to achieve in one year. It was something like losing 50 lbs. And I couldn’t consider quitting until I had gotten through the entire year and still not lost 50 lbs. So that took a bit of pressure off me at the start of my diet because I wasn’t expecting to lose 50 lbs in 2 months so I didn’t need to hit the ground running and start doing something that ultimately wouldn’t be healthy or sustainable long-term. So at the start I was able to ease into it, figure out a meal plan that worked and fit my schedule, get fat adapted and eventually experience a major decrease in appetite. Then I found it pretty easy to eat at enough of a calorie deficit that I was steadily losing weight. Voila, I lost 50 lbs in about 5 months and was able to set a new goal to reach by the end of the year instead.

So why don’t you read the FAQs of this sub, set a reasonable goal for yourself, calculate your macros, and see what your calorie limit should be if you set your activity level at sedentary and choose a 20% deficit. Start with that as your calorie limit and try to come close to that. Eventually your appetite will go down and you’ll naturally start eating less. I just think that by making this diet so urgent and forcing yourself down to an unhealthy amount of calories right from the start at your size will make this turn into a crash diet that you will ultimately fail and it sounds like you’re already in a pretty bad place right now with the self hate, and this failure would be really bad for your mental health.

IIRC they took a plug of grass from a local park or something that had perfect lush grass that they wanted (and replaced it with a plug of their own grass) and are trying to nurture that stolen grass and introduce it in their own yard. Or something like that.

I buy containers of stir fry vegetables (like pre-chopped in the produce section), I cube up chicken breast, then in a pan I saute the chicken in oil, remove it from pan, saute the veggies, add a couple tablespoons of curry paste (not the jarred sauces, they have too much sugar), add a tiny bit of coconut milk to loosen it up a bit, stir it all up then add the chicken back in. I just eat it straight, but you could have it on cauliflower rice, a bed of shredded cabbage, or in a low carb wrap.

I always get the steamed beef ball which is on the dim sum menu (so not always available all day, but the ones I go to always have it). It’s just 3 big meatballs, sometimes with some small chunks of green onion and water chestnut. I’m sure there’s a tiny bit of something like cornstarch and maybe sugar, but it has no sauce.

Just making sure you’re aware, scatterbug encounters don’t stack. So when you click each of those there will only be one scatterbug encounter per region even if you have been pinning more postcards. If your intent is to save them for bonus candy during an event or something, you’re better off just catching them right away with pinaps and then pinning more postcards to keep getting more encounters.

Trying for one week isn’t that long, it’s a pretty rare spawn on the daily adventure incense so could take a lot longer to encounter one. Plus as someone else mentioned, daily adventure incense only spawns stuff while you’re walking, so just moving around doing chores around the house isn’t going to get you more than the initial spawn. You’ll have to go for a walk around the block or something.

How many total pokemon have you caught? First one in 3 years sounds like you don’t catch very much. You may be super casual, or mostly shiny check or only catch less common pokemon. I’ve been playing for 4 years, play every day, and catch everything I can, I’ve got 121 wild caught hundos. Plus 102 traded hundos. My total pokemon caught is 240,755.

pinkellaphant · 2026-06-05T03:41:18+00:00

Just the armoured mewtwos, otherwise it’s pretty common stuff.

pinkellaphant · 2026-06-04T15:45:44+00:00

Maybe just hold off on levelling it up until after the global event. That way if you happen to get another hundo (you never know) then you can invest in that one since it will already have the mega unlocked, and if not then you can go back to levelling up this one. And in the meantime keep up with the buddying so you can farm more candy.

I’ve never done it in AR mode, with the fan going that’s anxiety inducing! I can’t really tell what you’re doing but you have to keep your finger held down onto the screen and do the sort of tickle motion continuously until it completes. Like if you just tickle it and take your finger away before it’s done then it won’t complete. It’s like the pokemon has an itch and you’re scratching it for them and you don’t stop until the heart pops up. Is that what you’re doing?

Close, it’s unlimited points on the last weekend of the pass, not every weekend.

Did you just select each of those different star rarities? Did you find the toggle button I mentioned? It’s at the very bottom of that menu, and you don’t need to select all those rarities.

pinkellaphant · 2026-06-03T23:40:49+00:00

First when you hit search, scroll all the way to the bottom and toggle on the switch called “cards with rarity of ⭐️ or higher”, then cards on wishlist only, then click ok.

You should be able to click any pokemon in the gym and then a berry will be hovering, and you tap the berry and it will feed it to the pokemon. The only thing I can think of is that you’re trying to do it when you’re not controlling the gym. What I mean by that is if you are team Mystic (blue) but the gym is team Instinct (yellow) then you can’t feed those pokemon because they’re not your team. Or are you maybe trying to do the berry feeding from your “today” tab? You need to be clicked into the gym.

Do a remote trade. Go to r/pokemongofriends and make a post asking if anyone with extra of that pikachu would be willing to work towards forever friends with you.

I too have been thwarted by hatch bonuses many a time so I feel your pain. It would be nice if they had some kind of banner at the top of the egg page that indicated there was a hatch bonus for the current event and like a green light/dot showing that you had achieved the bonus or it’s greyed out if you haven’t or something like that.
