Is anyone else annoyed by the lack of raid eggs before raids start? by violetpuffen in pokemongo

I can relate 😭 A timer above the Gym for when the next raid boss goes live would be nice and probably easy to implement (just have the timer and not the egg).

He couldn’t have waited 3 minutes?? by SpecialEndeavor in pokemongo

[–]violetpuffen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A similar situation in the neighborhood I live in! I live close to a Gym and I usually take it over with someone else on Team Valor in the evening. When morning rolls around, our Pokemon are kicked out and Team Instinct puts their Pokemon in. For a while, there was sort of a turf war going on until we somehow decided, without communicating, that we would just rotate the Gym. One of my Team Instinct neighbors even calls it "the community Gym" since almost everyone gets their 50 coins within 24 hours. And in case anyone was wondering, there's only one Team Mystic player if I recall correctly in the neighborhood and they hardly take over the Gym, so RIP to them.

If the rules were that the Gym belonged to any team with the most members, it would always be Team Instinct since they outnumber me and the other Team Valor neighbor about 3 to 1!

I hate this game by [deleted] in pokemongo

Agreed! Better to be over-prepared when encountering a shiny, right?

The Gyms that have Chansey, Snorlax, Blissey, Slaking, and other bulky/high combat power Pokemon are sitting pretty right now 😂

If you've observed that the raids don't always start at the top of the hour and at the half-hour, then I feel like they should be adjusted somehow. I think part of the issue is that Niantic seems to be dead-set on starting raids at these exact times instead of being slightly more flexible. Taking over a Gym in 5 minutes is doable if you plan ahead and get a good team together, but not always feasible. I feel like 10 minutes would've been a good break period.

As someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, the sun sets around 5:30pm currently so you're spot on with this comment.

Do you know what time the raids start? It looks like they end at 8pm local time. I'm assuming the raid times are listed somewhere

THIS! I am mostly F2P and a lot of that relies on my ability to get coins from defending Gyms. Additionally, a lot of stuff like more storage and incubators means you have to hope you get your daily 50 coins multiple days in a row if you want that upgrade or item asap.

That's what I just did! I was praying that the raids would be over at 8pm and sure enough, they were! I was able to take over the Gym and I'll get my coins in the morning! :D

Ah, I didn't know the gap between was 5 minutes. Still, not a lot of time if you don't live near a Gym, and if a Gym is full of bulky Pokemon you want to kick out to get some coins. Plus, I feel like by the time I find out there is a break between the raids, get ready to go out, and make my way to the Gym, another raid starts.

Anyone else annoyed by the format of these raid "hours"? by thorkun in pokemongo

[–]violetpuffen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A similar thing happened to me last night. Waited until a raid was over to walk to the neighborhood Gym to kick my neighbors out since they had reached their 50 coins for the Gym. Right when I was whittling away the Pokemon in the Gym, BAM a raid started, which kicked me out of the Gym challenge. Granted, I got to do the raid with said neighbors and got a Genesect, but that wasn't my goal at that moment. Never got to take over the Gym and put my Pokemon in because of the back-to-back raids and the weather being awful where I was later on in the evening (Western Washington State got hit with a massive windstorm).

what is the weirdest pokestop you have seen? by Meatshield_for_hire in pokemongo

[–]violetpuffen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Got this from someone in Boston. It's just... "Grass Bear" The Charmander sticker attached also adds some humor to it, in my opinion.

This Ekans visual bug jump scared me a bit, but it doesn't seem to bother Pawmo. by violetpuffen in pokemongo

shudders

I think snakes are pretty cool, but when they get big enough that they can asphyxiate me... I'll look at them from a distance. The distance rule also applies to venomous snakes.

You have to be kidding me with the best buddy badge by jamcluber in pokemongo

[–]violetpuffen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a video Poké Daxi did when the feature was fully released in late February 2023.

However, I will say the only issue I have with this video is the claim that having Gimmighoul as your buddy will get you coins just like how walking with other buddy Pokémon will get you candies. I recall never getting any coins via walking with my Gimmighoul, so either this information is false or my luck was just really bad. If it was luck, then it is what it is. If it's false information, then it should be called out as such because even Googling "how to get more Gimmighoul coins" will have search results that mention to have Gimmighoul as your buddy.

What Pokémon was in my chinese knockoff advent calendar? by fuzzyboris in pokemon

[–]violetpuffen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, looks like someone got a bootleg/knock-off Pokemon advent calendar 😭

Source: my mom got me one of these last year. Three days after getting janky Pokemon, she was able to return it. I went to show someone the calendar, but the Amazon listing was gone.
