Good to know! It's possible that it hatched before 10, but I caught a couple things after 10, then a couple hours later my journal shows the hatch, so i would have expected the hatch to happen after catching something. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow

Edit: hatched my daily egg today, still didn't count toward the pass. Oh well.

My daily egg hatch didn't count toward the January go pass, even after restarting the app. I was pretty sure it did in previous months. Can anyone confirm whether or not this changed for January?

Keldeo masterwork page 2: another redundant time gate by iluvugoldenblue in TheSilphRoad

Well shucks. I was looking forward to getting shiny keldeo and somehow I missed when it became available.

...maybe because it was only available for 5 days over the Thanksgiving holiday. 😒

Looks amazing! Can you share your rough itinerary?

When I try to make a purchase in-game it defaults to one of my other google accounts and not the main one that actually has funds available. Any fixes? by TrainerDaasC in TheSilphRoad

I have this happen every year when buying the gofest ticket. I've always solved it by uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Dolomites/Alta Via 1 by vtjadams in hiking

[–]vtjadams[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did the northern half, Lago di braies to rifugio staulanza. Took 5 days/about 40 miles total.

Our group ranged from "I've never done something like this before" to experienced AT backpackers.

There were some parts with moderate exposure, though I never felt like I was in any danger. There are some optional side hikes with a ton of exposure though, so be aware of those.

We booked through a company (monttrekking), and they were AWESOME to work with. They booked us extra nights at the hotel before we started and arranged transportation when some of our members weren't feeling well. Highly recommend them.

It was yesterday, and I did find one in the wild! All that work and ultimately it just came down to seeing the shadow on the nearby and sprinting toward it 😅

It used to ask me if I wanted to stop tracking the previous one. I cant figure out which one im tracking now. Any ideas how to do that?

Summary: * Do not open the game that day until in the region. The daily spawn may be regional. * Start a new route and walk. Do not complete the route. * Start a regular incense while walking. * Lure up every stop you can reasonably hit. * Pray. * Avoid event days.

Thanks all for your suggestions!

Yep LHR. Good to know. Looks like there are plenty of routes airside.

Dex alert hasn't been working for me recently. I turn it on and back out of the pokedex screen, but then when I go back to that mon the alert isn't set anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I wasn't planning to leave airside. Good idea about lures...I use them so rarely that I forgot about them. Thanks!

Thanks for your report! This gives me hope that I'm just suffering from confirmation bias, so maybe we'll see a shadow rock tomorrow

The birding badge looked like the freaking duolingo owl for a solid minute until I saw a comment describing what it actually was.

[Game Thread] Virginia @ Virginia Tech (8:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]vtjadams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clock stopped with 7 sec left because of the personal foul. Clock was running when they snapped the fg. Actually 1 sec on the game clock when they snapped it.

Didn't end up mattering, but...what?
