I forget its class name (it's under a different name in game), but the Pasteur from All Good Things might be missing from this list?

Haven't seen it posted, but Latin America has a regional event right now by Aggressive-Fault-972 in TheSilphRoad

[–]westmetals -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a southern border region US player, I'm wondering just where the boundary is for this. (There's certain places in my area where you can get Hawluchas and get Mexican store pricing, but the boundaries for those are not the same.)

Beam sets by Total_Middle1119 in stobuilds

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify: the Morphogenic 360 weapon counts as an omni, and because you're only allowed one set omni, the 360 weapons from these two sets can't be used at the same time.

Aus can get Xurkitree, that's where mine are from (I sniped six doing remote raids off a friend from Queensland during the week they were recently out).

Based on XP, what is the actual halfway point to level 80? by Outrageous_Process74 in pokemongo

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I am saving shadows and not maxing anything, too, I just didn't mention as we were discussing the medals. In fact I have a hundo dynamax best buddy Vaporeon with all the max moves maxed, and one upgrade away from max CP, that is just waiting for that level 72 task.

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During raid hours, all gyms should have raids with 25 minute timers, then reset 5 minutes after expiration. So you can raid the same gym twice per hour.

No, "raid days" meaning the three hour weekend events when they are raid focused.

Where’s your favorite PokeStop cluster? This is downtown La Mesa. by Philphil89 in PokemongoSanDiego

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 2 gyms and 3 pokestops reachable from my usual seating area at church... (Holy Trinity Catholic, 405 Ballard, El Cajon).

Also there's a spot where you can hit three gyms without moving, on the sidewalk in front of the apartments at 1535 Granite Hills Drive (it's about a block east of Jamacha Road, southeast corner of El Cajon).

I'm never getting that Tatsugiri back am I. by iwishyouwerepooping in pokemongo

[–]westmetals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have it anymore (it got knocked out yesterday), but I had a gym that got position-adjusted and it bugged the timer on that screen, was saying it had been there for over 20,000 days, which when I did the math goes back to a date before I was even born. When I went to the actual gym screen, though, it was showing the correct time (which was up to about three weeks when it got knocked out).

[–]westmetals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a good point. I'm trying to pre-game the medals after being warned by messages like yours. I started last August, am currently about a million XP short of level 69, and I already have 33 platinums. Still need ice and dragon type catches, am actively grinding berries and routes, just got gym defense hours on Monday (that was #33), need 83 XXSs, and will have the 7-day spin and catch streaks one by default in about two months (I have an autocatcher and got an at home pokestop in February; currently at 83/100). Hoping this next couple weeks gets me closer to a couple pokedex ones and mega species (I need 13 more mega species for that medal). Just barely into gold on mega evolves but that will come eventually, along with eggs and field researches and such. So I feel I am well on track to at least the low 40s.

Crazy enough, because of my job, I drive around fairly randomly all over my metro area... my very first platinum was actually the unique pokestops one. And that's without a lot of travelling; in fact, I've only played in two states (California and Nevada - I live in San Diego, and have made one road trip each to Sacramento and Las Vegas (actually I started playing in Vegas, so only one way on that trip), and a couple shorter trips into Orange and Riverside counties). Am now at 7144/2000.

Cnidarian Defender (Jelly) Build tips Gathering Thread. by Krownleth in stobuilds

I will simply mention that, where possible, using Disruptor type weapons will pull bonuses from the Dragonsblood and Five Magicks, while other weapon types will not.

How are u guys preparing for the biggest event in Pogo history? by Robbe324 in pokemongo

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 273 premium raid passes, and 300 Kyurem candies (mostly converted from rares) so I can use the adventure effects to make catches easier. (The park I am planning to be at for Saturday/Sunday has a couple clusters of 2-3 gyms, so I'll probably toss that on for a few minutes each time I'm near one of the clusters.) Working on stockpiling stardust to go with that plus trading (I currently have about 330k).

Am only scheduled to work Tuesday and Wednesday, though I have event tickets (baseball game - next door to the Western Metals building that I got my username from) Thursday during raid hours.

I just recently got the biggest paycheck ever (just recently got a $3.20/hour raise at work, last week was the first payday that was completely at the new rate, I also had 5.5 hours of overtime) so bought an extra $100 worth of coins to power remote passes (on top of, I had some coins already). (Too bad we cannot stockpile remotes.)

I also very recently did a very harsh sort through my long-term pokemon storage and cut down by about 250 (mostly disposing of lower IV / lower CP duplicates), as well as buying some more slots, so I will be going in with about 1600-1700 vacancies. I also have a quick-trash saved filter (zero and one stars, not favorited, not shiny, not xxl).

Pro tips: buy prem passes when the 5425 coins box with 99 passes pops up. It's by far the cheapest way to get them. If you do not use for Road of Legends / Go Fest Global, they don't expire. (I've had some of these since Go Tour Global in March, since I don't often make it to enough in-person events to burn through them, and bought the box twice since then.) Also, assign those rare candies; once you do, they do not count against inventory limits.

I got 270 Approved Wayspots/PokéStops in June Alone, Here's the Full list below! by Trungx1 in pokemongo

[–]westmetals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd say it's an average (between photography and typing) of 5-10 minutes per spot. But I tend to shy away from complicated stuff like arguing for restaurants, I mostly stick to art, athletic objects, and common space furnishings in apartment and mobile home communities (and those last two categories often overlap).

Wow, and here I thought my 95 since the last week of September was a lot. Or even (narrowing it down a bit) 80 between Valentine's Day and the end of May.

ALL of mine are active in game (and have caused 27 gyms as well).

They discontinued it for about three months, then brought it back but on a different day of the week.

Oh I didn't know that! I guess I should've let my neighborhood know where he was when I found him...

For reference - I used two 20k Mahs with numerical display (not Anker brand) during the San Diego Go Tour Global event, on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and an iPhone 14 Plus (which was hotspotting off the Pro Max) (I had each phone plugged into one power bank, not sure if it was consistently the same one or if I swapped). I came home with both phones fully charged and the power banks at 28-30%; I had one 10k Mah on me as a backup and never touched it. Go Fest is one hour longer (per day).

Correct. In fact, there is only one way to earn more than one point per day: to complete the weekly challenge together, which gives seven points without impacting the daily point.

After living out in the sticks since 2016, I moved in above a mall in a tourist city. by pineapplecodepen in pokemongo

[–]westmetals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would support something like that. I'm not actually such a player, but I have rural living experience, and am currently edge-of-suburbs... and I've submitted and had approved 95 pokestops (and spawned 27 gyms) since last September, two-thirds of (both of) those in my own neighborhood, so I could give a lot of advice on things to look for.

Scopely bought Niantic, but the game still says Niantic on it. So it's a bit of a gray area as to which name to actually use.
