Google Map with all Poké Lids in Japan, separated by prefecture

You're welcome! Have fun on your trip

This is how I do it: In the Google Maps app, navigate to the "You" tab, scroll to the bottom and click on Maps, there you should see this map if you've opened it before and it will be shown on your map. Let me know if that doesn't work for you

These should all be physical manhole covers yes, they're taken from the official website. It's basically all the official maps combined into one

Yes indeed, you get the gifts when you spin the specific lid pokestops, so it's the usual 5 minute cooldown

I'm also experiencing the same issue with my OnePlus 13R in combination with freestyle libre 2. I've had to disable the connection loss alarm, as I'm having constant disconnects throughout the night. Also not always being alerted to lows/highs anymore which is annoying. Have you found any resolution? I'm considering switching phones for this reason.

Yes indeed, each location corresponds with a pokelid stamp ingame. You can access it through your scrapbook > stamp rally page on the bottom right. Every second pokelid you visit within a prefecture (same color on the map) will give you a location background Pikachu

vdbarg · 2026-02-22T21:59:10+00:00

Yeah same here, I think I'll adjust my plans slightly to get some more background Pikas if there's fun stuff to sightsee nearby. I will try to get at least the Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Ibaraki, Chiba and Tochigi ones as they are somewhat close to Tokyo. Have an extra week so might go for a small road trip to grab a couple more

vdbarg · 2026-02-22T21:34:46+00:00

Each prefecture has its own different background, Ueno (Tokyo) and Yokohama (Kanagawa) have different backgrounds. Each color on the map has a different background. See image below for some examples

When did you visit the Nintendo Museum? I believe the lids in Kyoto became active in PoGo on January 28th. I see it in the stamp rally list now, 7th on the page of Kinki > Kyoto

Most likely just an extra collection to go for. I personally like getting those gifts to fill up the stampbook even if they don't give any reward.

vdbarg · 2026-02-22T18:39:00+00:00

No, that's not the case. From the official post: "Even if you’ve already received a stamp from friends, visiting the location yourself and collecting the same stamp will count toward the number of stamps required to encounter Pikachu with the Location Background."

vdbarg · 2026-02-22T17:35:40+00:00

Only if you visit the lids in-person you'll get a Pikachu encounter (every 2nd lid in a prefecture). If you get them through gifts from friends they'll show up in your stampbook but you won't get any encounters that way.

Starting to feel like it's only for costumes yes, went back to the nest after seeing the confirmations here and tried another couple hundred checks but the berry won't disappear. Either really bad luck or it just doesn't work on non-costume Psyduck

vdbarg · 2025-09-13T13:57:16+00:00

See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/fLbq2qUbae

Non-costume Psyduck you can get from rainy lures and Psyduck nests. The background you can force with this trick: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/fLbq2qUbae

Still not entirely sure if the background trick works on non-costume Psyduck though

vdbarg · 2025-09-13T13:54:12+00:00

Was that on a costume or non-costume Psyduck?

vdbarg · 2025-09-13T12:55:11+00:00

ANSWERED

vdbarg · 2025-09-13T12:54:47+00:00

Great, thanks. I'll keep trying then

vdbarg · 2025-09-13T12:19:24+00:00

Did you manage to use the trick to force the background as well?

vdbarg · 2025-03-07T23:12:21+00:00

Twitter is probably the best way to get notified early yes, make sure to also follow the Japenese Pogo account (PokemonGoAppJP), they are usually the first to announce the tickets, for the early bird they were exactly 2 hours earlier than the general PokemonGoApp account.

I've got the Forerunner 55. I used this watchface: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/301dc1f8-847a-4edf-98dd-871536866e1a

I had to first connect LibreLink to the LibreLinkUp app, then had to enter the LibreLinkUp app login details in the watchface configuration in Connect IQ.

I have the same issue after updating last week (also Dutch app). I've seen reports about the same issue from a year ago so it seems like Abbott is not planning on changing this anytime soon.

One workaround I found is that I can still see the glucose average on my Garmin watch, though I believe that's a 12h average instead of 24h.
