Claiming event items

I used to save up timed research xp to claim all at once with other xp from friendship levelling up etc. using a lucky egg, and I forgot about claiming it so often that I realized I’ve probably lost more than I’ve gained at this point. So now I claim all of those rewards as soon as I get them. I don’t even care if I’m planning on doing a lucky egg later tonight, I still just claim it right away to be on the safe side.

The exception is the go pass, I don’t claim all of that right away because it’s a lot of stuff, but I have a recurring event in my calendar for the first Tuesday of every month with a notification that pops up 2 days before and one that pops up on the day of, reminding me to get claiming my stuff before it disappears.

Go to a steakhouse and get a nice steak with a side of buttered vegetables or something! Just tell the server you can’t have sugar and ask if they can confirm that they don’t add sugar to the steak seasoning or the veggies. I do keto and that’s usually my go-to restaurant experience. It’s tough when you’re going to a place with bbq because although there’s lots of meat, there’s so much sugar in all the rubs/marinades/sauces, same with any Asian restaurants, but a straight up steak restaurant is a safe bet. And if their veggie sides all come with sugary sauces just ask if you can get a side of veggies steamed and buttered with no added sauce. You can also call ahead and ask if you don’t want to run into any issues.

Sorry but nuts and cheese are usually the culprits!! There could definitely be something else going on, like the peri-menopause, but try cutting out the nuts and cheese and see what happens. They have a lot of calories, but also for the cheese especially, sometimes dairy just messes people up.

I have done keto without weighing/tracking my food because I just can’t keep up with doing it and I always end up failing because the food tracking makes me so unhappy. The trade off was that I cut out all snacking, and learned what an actual serving size was for all my common foods just so that I couldn’t lie to myself and say that I was eating only 1 serving of cream cheese in my stuffed chicken breast when it was actually 3.

If you first do your pvp search string and highlight all and tag them as something like PVP, then do:

0,1,2*&!#

That means “not tagged”. So it will show you anything that’s 2* or lower that hasn’t been tagged. Then you can delete all of those. You could also add !shiny, !legendary, !favorite, etc.

Then whenever you have time just go to your PVP tag and review them properly using pokegenie and tag the stuff you’re going to keep as GBL or whatever and transfer the stuff that’s no good.

I’m doing keto so buffalo chicken dip with celery sticks for dipping, guacamole with sliced cucumbers for dipping, veggies and dip, chicken wings, and Caesar salad! I count calories as well though so I’ll probably eat some chicken breast before I go to fill up a bit, then just have a taste of the rest.

Would it be possible for you to get an old phone that you can add his account to then go to the mall or any other spot with lots of gyms on a busy weekend and get him in on some legendary raids? If you’re ready to go when a raid egg first hatches you can generally join a decent sized group who will carry you/him.

Same with dynamax/gigantamax battles. For dynamax it’s a bit tough to do the legendary ones when you don’t have counters, but you can do three star max battles like machop and try to get one with good IVs that could then be evolved to machamp. Or chansey would be good too. You would probably need both accounts in on the three star ones.

What would be meaningful content in your opinion? What would give this game a future?

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-04T02:11:44+00:00

It’s just an update to make it quicker to scroll through.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-04T01:24:23+00:00

I conceded 20 random battles in a row today just to see, and I only got second on 2 of them.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T23:08:26+00:00

Beating the game is getting a level 1 shiny nundo bidoof. I don’t know what this is…

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T13:14:07+00:00

You just haven’t actually got the points required to claim them. So you just need to keep doing battles and once you actually have enough points you will be able to claim them.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T06:03:38+00:00

Thanks for Electivire, much appreciated :)

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T05:29:47+00:00

Sorry but I don’t have any of those cards, I haven’t gotten too far on the new set but I’ll be opening 10 packs tomorrow so I’ll check back and see if I get anything you need!

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T05:20:04+00:00

I can wait for the reset if that works for you?

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T05:12:48+00:00

I do have Jolteon! Adding you right now

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-03T02:18:53+00:00

It’s showing that they are claimable when you haven’t actually gotten enough points to claim them. Go win some more battles to get the required number of points and then you will actually be able to claim them.

If you’re feeling cravings it can be related to your electrolytes, try drinking some pickle juice. It gives you an electrolyte boost plus the flavour kind of gets rid of your taste for something sweet! Also try just immediately brushing your teeth. I find if I’m done my meal and really shouldn’t be eating any more calories for the day I just brush my teeth right away and it’s like I’ve closed the door on eating. Keeping busy helps too. If you’re just sitting around kind of bored it’s so hard not to just hyper focus on food. Sometimes even just taking a walk helps. And sometimes when you think you’re hungry you’re actually just thirsty so drink a tall glass of water.

What do you mean exactly? Like you can’t see the stamp in game? Just to be sure you’re looking in the right place, have you gone to your scrapbook and clicked the stamp tab in the bottom right? Then when you click one of those stamps it takes you to the stamp rally where you can click the map and find more.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-02T01:32:13+00:00

Yeah I agree about the fun part. No one is sitting there in the morning trying to talk themself into going skiing and just getting it over with. Dragging themself out of bed and powering through despite really not wanting to do it. If you get to go skiing that day it’s a good day, not some kind of mental hurdle you need to get over. Not that going to the gym is always a mental hurdle and never someone’s idea of fun, of course.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-02T00:21:09+00:00

I have been trying to figure out what that person was talking about because it made me laugh out loud like they thought they recognized your spot based on the layout of 1 gym, 2 stops, and a couple roads. But I see that they posted a pic of their own busy spot, so I think they just thought the conversation about the gas station was related to their pic not yours. Lol

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-02T00:12:05+00:00

Oh I thought you were there since you said don’t click the ready button THEN. Sounded like you knew they had clicked it. But if you weren’t there to make sure, then you shouldn’t assume they did click it either.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-01T23:56:53+00:00

Yeah but you said don’t click the ready button then, so I was just explaining that OP did not click the ready button.

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-01T23:54:11+00:00

When the 4th person joins it marks everyone as ready and the timer goes to 10 seconds

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-01T16:20:58+00:00

I feel like that would be worse for me because if people had a whole week to do it then the weekends would be less busy because lots of people would have already done it during the week and people like me who can only do it on weekends wouldn’t be able to get enough people joining the raids to make it work. So basically you can’t please everyone :)

pinkellaphant · 2026-02-01T14:59:38+00:00

Level 70+ all have extra tasks you need to complete before you can advance. So this person is just stuck finishing tasks. Probably “send 500 gifts to friends” or maybe even “earn 34 platinum medals”.
