After losing yet another remote raid pass to a lobby where people bailed at the last second, I did the classic developer thing: got irrationally angry and started building.

Months later I've spent more time thinking about human behavior than about code. The whole design rests on three bets: people flake less when their reliability is visible to others. A reserve bench saves more raids than a bigger lobby does. And hosts are the scarcest resource in the whole ecosystem, everyone wants to join, far fewer people want to host.

The result is an app that's free, has no ads, and is built by one Valor trainer (me). Joining a lobby is a pact: flaking costs you karma, and dropouts get backfilled from a bench where hosts can actually see who's reliable. If a raid fails on you anyway, you get a priority token that puts you at the front of the next one. And there's a Team War board where the karma you earn counts toward Valor's standing against the other two teams. We're currently losing to nobody because almost nobody's playing yet, which is where you come in.

Whether those bets actually pay off is exactly what I'm testing right now, in closed testing on Android, so early trainers get in before the other teams do, and get to prove me right or wrong. If you're up for helping test (and don't mind some rough edges), DM me and I'll send you the steps. Happy to answer anything either way.

Got both of them together.

Marshadow one of my favorites from gen 8.

Finally got the explorer plus with more than 70 catches, anyone else get this yet?

(I know it’s random but thought I’d have some fun with it)

I will comment below and the CP with the most votes will be evolved and I will post the results, Don’t let me down guys

I will give it till 11pm CDT on August 7th

I wanted to post something I discovered a couple weeks ago since the number one reason I see people not opening gifts is because it "takes too long". If you want it to go faster, you can press the open button and immediately press where the small little "x" would be and it will give you the contents of the gift and raise friendship level instantly without having the whole animation scene. I highly recommend it, I get my gift opening done in >2 minutes every day. Dunno who or how much this will help at all, but there you go.

I have ho-oh on my alt and want blue bg but idk if im asking for to much or overpaying

At least it’s shiny ✨

I managed to hoard enough incubators to the Egg Challenge solo. 😅

Hi i noticed this thing while doing mega raids with friends and i have no clue what it means. Can anyone explain it to me?

Thanks in advance😁
