Current Events > Pokemon GO General the Third: SwSh caused the second one to purge.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Synchronoise is only useful for PVP (even then, it's only marginally better than Psychic). For gyms/raids, Psychic all the way.

Outrage is also better than Draco Meteor for Dragonite. Similar performance in a vacuum, much more reliable as a 2-bar move.
---

That's what I saw.

Salamance is still good for CD move, yeah?

---

Yeah, since its CD move is Outrage.

Oy, tonight or tomorrow I need to do a pretty thorough cleaning/organizing of my Pokemon storage to prep for this weekend.
---

Groovy.

Dragon Pulse is a weird choice for Ampharos but I think I'll use that for surprise gym defense.

---

Doing my evolves.

For some irritating reason they all ended up with the CD move and then something shitty.

Tyranitar doesn't need to know Fire Blast.

Speaking of, isn't there a community day today?

For me it's not even work. I always have family stuff when they happen so I'm either travelling or at my parents' house (middle of nowhere) or too busy. I might be able to do a little bit for a little while when we get to our hotel but I don't know that I will have much time.

It's 36 hours.

shit.... miscalculated he's screwed.

but i did catch enough for the both of us. that beldum in the raid i tried today was a 2 star. luckily the one i hatched was the right one.
wanted to see what fate would've had in store if i didn't hatch the right egg.
---

I wanna hunt down some Totodile.

He's probably my favorite of the available Water starters.

---

bump

---

Got myself a shiny igglypuff.
---

Successful enough CD weekend. Got the PVP evos I needed and a few extras of the useful PVE ones. Didn't need to do any shiny hunting but came away with two more Bagon and Trapinch and a Treecko.

Finally got some Meteor Mash Metagross on my alt, so I could finally reliably duo Terrakion... now that it goes away in a day and a half, lol. At least easy Virizion duos are coming next.
---

It was a great CD weekend, I came away with two shiny trapinch, a chimchar, and a swinub. All three I had not had before.

I caught a totodile on sat. which was not shiny was transferred. I caught 1 pokemon yesterday and I don't remember what it was but it wasn't shiny and I transferred it too... but I got a 7 day catch streak as a result.
---

I was mostly excited for the weekend cuz if stardust. I'm really bad with wasting it on powering up random Pokemon I like.

Got like 80,000 over the two day stretch. First time I'm over 200k since the Summertime lol.


---

I've been powering things up in prep for this Battle League, so the extra stardust was welcome here too

---

My dumb ass bought extra Charge moves for a Gengar and Torterra because I misunderstood what I was doing.

As such, I've had fuck all for stardust for weeks.

---

Evolved my roselia with my last sinnoh stone. She's at 2216. <_<
---

I require 3 friends for a quest. I'll be leaving my code here in case anyone wants to help and help themselves to my general surplus of gifts

Alternatively, my Trainer Code is 3021 5346 1702

The number works a bit better than the icon.

it's a great pokemon whichever you plan to specialize in grass or poison. i got all the CD pokemon i wanted. even if i didn't hatch that egg that day i would've had a beldum on the 2nd day.

raising blaziken and a sceptile i really need to work on an ice pokemon had to take down that one leader named cliff gardevoir does fine but didn't last against that Ttar. gave out about 8 hyper potion which had no use to taking down any close gyms.
---

Focus on Mamoswine for Ice.

Nine's a beast.

we have one that needs to be built up, other pokemon needing priority for certain team matches.
won't have to face another leader until i find 5 more grunts.

edit: have to make sure he/she isn't the one i'm needing to use a fast tm. there's several that need it. after blaziken/charizard i'll get mamoswine/sceptile.

Should I invest in the poke-gotcha bracelet? Does it actually do it's job by spinning pokestops and collecting pokemon? Thinking about getting one.

Just remember that those catches aren't guaranteed, but it can be helpful to have in the background collecting dust/items when you're doing something else/not paying attention to the game.

So it will work with my galaxy s7 right? Gonna end up getting one Tomorrow.

If you've got it up to date it should. I use the pokeball plus which has been a pain at times to connect (same phone). I've heard similar issues with people who have gotcha, but it usually seems to be a matter of persistence.

It should if it has the latest version of the game. I mainly used the gotcha when I had my girlfriend's account on my old samsung s6, I'd play on my main phone and have my girlfriend's s6 connected to the gotcha in my pocket.

i would leave a good size dent in your items because it can fill up fast especially if you know where your pokestops are located.

I'm intrigued by the Buddy Adventure thing they just announced. Sounds like they're introducing the friendship system from the main games now? Either way, sounds like fun.

Good on Niantic, continuing to add new features to their game instead of removing them like Gamefreak lol. They've come a long way since the beginning of this game.

---

The two day community day was very eh.

---

Evolved a pretty solid Flareon, but my dumb ass did it during CD.

Really don't need my fire dudes to know Last Resort.

---

Actually bought me a $35 gotcha. <_< pray for me.

Looks like Swinub is gonna get boosted spawns Tuesday.

Ice Shard/Avalanche on that bad boy and you're fucking set.

It's like an Avalanche every 6 seconds in raids.

I've only evolved one and he's a fucking MONSTER.

Razor Leaf/Sludge Bomb, almost definitely my best Grass type.

---

i think my game is punishing me for not having a valued ice type. i was lucky today but arlo could've required that ice type. i had blaziken ready which kicked scizor's butt.

it's going to suck the next 2 days i really want to get out and about but the wind/rain is going to screw me over
edit: make that 1. if i get outside before 11am i can make that one run before the wind kills my umbrella.
---

I fed my buddy some low hanging fruit, if you know what I mean.



---

Buddy Adventure is live. Seems like a really fun addition to the game! Like, def seems like way more effort than I was expecting.

i'll have to play with it tomorrow.
getting to 71 points helps alot.
---

I have a Machoke following me around now.

Not sure how to feel about that.

---

That new loading screen... not sure how I feel about it. I normally like new loading screens but based on the erratic movement of that sled, the Snorlax is going to fucking kill everyone it's riding with and in front of it.

---

I'm impressed it's even going with his fat ass in the back.

---

Did they get rid of the setting to disable AR? I can't find it and settings reset due to me reinstalling. It defaults to normal background but is still annoying because every time I go into an encounter, it gives me a "ur camera isn't giving me permission" error and I'm like "yeah because I don't want it to and I don't want to use AR but I can't find a way to turn it off again" and that's going to get on my nerves after a while.

---

Nah.

Click the Pokeball, click Settings, it's the third set of options down.

not showing up for me :(

It's Music, Sound, Vibration, Battery saver, Share with friends, battle with friends, show pokemon ribbon (I don;t know what this is), Adventure sync, email spam shit

Thats the first set. Second set is all push notification. Third set is just pokestop nomination, then account (which is just username and "linked" and then final set is Poke ball plus, Nintendo switch, pokemon go plus, get support and about.

That's all the settings shwoing up

---

Dunno what might be the issue on your end.

---

i had an ar issue where it wouldnt let me turn it off. try giving it camera permissions then resetting the app, then seeing if its in your settings menu
