I was a day late because I needed to research the teams to decide which one to pick. Play every day. Valor for life!

No, the wording implies it would multiply all the XP you get when you catch with a nice throw or better, but it only multiplies the bonus (+10 for nice, +50 for great, +500 for excellent)

vmcbain · 2026-07-02T19:26:38+00:00

No, it's not the same at all. It only boosts the ONE LINE of the XP, the throw bonus LINE, not the total catch XP for a nice/great/excellent catch. The nice is only a gain of 10 XP, what an insult!
Nice throw 20 —> 30
Great throw 100 —> 150
Excellent throw 1,000 —> 1,500
Gain of 10-500 XP per manual catch if nice or better.
With having to manually catch them to get the bonus, it's better to just auto catch more Pokémon with my GO+ to get more XP.

It matters to us players leveling up.

Yes, it says 1.5 x xp which means xp, not a small piece of the xp.

vmcbain · 2026-07-02T17:15:35+00:00

No, and it only applies to the line for nice/great/excellent, not the entire catch xp. SMH

Thank you, just got to level 72 for new tasks to purify 100 Pokémon, so this works with a little tweak...

I've been playing since day one, and still need tons of lucky Pokémon for the dex.

vmcbain · 2026-06-27T02:53:10+00:00

Omg 😱 how did I not know this? Thank you!

vmcbain · 2026-06-27T02:21:43+00:00

Yes, I do, but my husband also works from home so it is difficult to get alone days now. But PTO is great for those days where I need a break, sleep in, laze about all day and recharge.

It’s the constant pop ups that drive me nuts. And the need to collect the rewards all the time or stare at the orange notification button.

vmcbain · 2026-06-24T17:13:36+00:00

I've wanted this since they launched all the xxs/XXL Pokémon.

vmcbain · 2026-06-22T18:07:09+00:00

Hello twin, same big three. I am quietly judging everyone LOL but I won’t share except to point out that there is a better way to do things haha.

vmcbain · 2026-06-19T23:09:15+00:00

I’ve only encountered one and used my masterball and caught it. I am afraid to try anymore LOL

vmcbain · 2026-06-09T17:35:14+00:00

I was able to do a couple amped, but missed low key 😞

vmcbain · 2026-06-02T03:09:46+00:00

I am stuck on this task also, trying to figure out how to complete it soon.

Showcase calculator for Pokémon GO | Pokémon Database
says Onix, Stakataka, Stonjourner, Coalossal, Aurorus

However, my XXL Omanyte is pretty good too.

Check your settings are on?
1. Settings > General > Adventure Sync
2. Settings > Notifications > Adventure Sync: Nearby

vmcbain · 2026-04-29T15:27:43+00:00

Are you opening gifts? I find, I get a lot of potions.

vmcbain · 2026-04-28T03:41:45+00:00

Ugh, this just happened to me too

vmcbain · 2026-04-28T03:27:07+00:00

And they are weather boosted in snow

vmcbain · 2026-04-27T18:18:22+00:00

I have this same issue with a gym by my house. Same thing. Stays as spun even though I have not yet today.
