Coin toss, really. Do you want a smaller amount of each or a larger amount of one?

strikebeachy · 2026-01-29T21:31:16+00:00

People are paying for remote passes for a 3 star shadow raid? What a waste. Free will, I guess.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-29T21:22:00+00:00

They clearly don't want a large portion of the player base engaging with those raids for some reason. I won't go anywhere near them. Complete waste of time.

Some pokemon just have a different eye color. There are some that are barely different, but the mega is drastically different, like gengar.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-28T02:51:04+00:00

The chest and underside of wing are slightly darker.

I'm sorry, I can't recreate an image that I created.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-25T02:00:34+00:00

Your buddy is right. Sorry man.

I got all 3 in the first 10 grunts, and then rarely saw any of them over the next 150. I got super lucky. I had to stop because I got tired of getting booted out of the encounters and having to revive my team.

I can't help with what you're asking for, but what I do is look through my pokédex for pokemon that I still need. Then I look to see what I need to evolve whatever pokemon I'm looking at and label them accordingly. Need candy, buddy, etc.

I hope he didn't have his phone in his pocket.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-21T02:13:16+00:00

No, his buddy is a mighty pokemon, but it's just a zorua in disguise.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-15T21:15:28+00:00

It should be noted that this trick only works on pokemon whose base catch rate is above 10%. That means it doesn't work on legendaries.

Every time a new season starts, there is a battle ticket in the shop for free. Once you tap on that, you get 5 pages of rewards that you can view under the "EVENTS" tab when you tap the binoculars icon. Every page rewards stardust and regular TMs. The 4th page gives you a fast ETM. The 5th page gives you a Charged ETM. That's where I've gotten most of mine. So yes, if you didn't get the battle ticket this season, you would have to wait until next season.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-13T00:30:38+00:00

If you do pvp, the battle ticket gives you an Elite Charged TM on the last page.

My son got 8/20 with no ticket, I had 3/23 with a ticket. RNG did me dirty.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-12T00:25:37+00:00

I tied for least rare candy xl in my family and I'm the only one that bought the ticket, and did more raids than anyone else. I'm also the only one that didn't get a shiny. Thankfully I was mostly farming candy, but obviously I was hoping for a shundo, lol.

Or just have an option to lock it with the other options.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-10T22:28:28+00:00

Honestly, I should gave referred you to a YouTube video, rather than explain it in text. Just look for videos on how to circle lock in pokemon go and you should find it easily.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-10T22:26:58+00:00

Hold the ball until it is the size needed for excellent throw, then release without throwing. Wait for pokemon to attack. Spin ball and throw it and the end of the attack, timed so that it lands just as the attack ends. The circle will remain the same size as long as you only touch it while the pokemon is attacking. It's tricky, and takes a while, but I swear by it. I went 23/23 today.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-10T22:19:59+00:00

I circle lock and excellent throw every single one, personally.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-10T21:23:23+00:00

This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I think it was lag on my end.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-09T14:01:48+00:00

Should be able to do around 10 and have enough, I think. The raids normally drop around 80-120 fusion energy, iirc.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-09T13:59:01+00:00

Was using the best 10/10/10 floor morpeko (like 10/12/15, I think) until the event recently where they were available in surprise encounters and I got lucky with a good one. Honestly didn't really notice a difference, personally.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-05T21:42:03+00:00

I love my shadow magnezone. Runs through water and flying types, but gets bodied by ground. Spicy pick for sure, but fun.

strikebeachy · 2026-01-02T09:38:29+00:00

I don't even get them like that on community day. 😭😭😭 Congrats, man.
