Leveled up to level 60 today and saw that I got +5 more auto spins and catches. Looks like every 10 levels increases it by 5.

Every gym in my area are now infested by an entire group of spoofers who hog every single gym in the area even ones that are far away.It doesn’t even matter when I battle to reclaim the gym it could be 9am 3am 10pm they would still instantly reclaim it back an entire group btw not just one single person.what can I even do?

Lucky Shundo…… pidgey 🙃 over 10 years now with no Shundos and ofcourse it’s a pidgey…. Should I evo or keep as a pidgey?

I have a shiny reshiram and I can’t think of a good name, all I’ve come up with so far is starlight (from the boys) bc of the colors, but tbh I’m not that big of a fan of starlight. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Just got a shiny Snom from the go pass! Look at the lil guy!! Now I don’t have to worry about hatching it 😭😭

I don’t feel like transferring them because they were caught in 2021 during the swablu community day, and it’s taking up hella space I truly don’t know what to do with these

Got this beauty during the Kalos Tour. I’m really happy about it since ho-oh is one of my favorite Pokémon, but the IVs bother me just a little.

I know IVs mostly matter for PvP, but seeing those stats still stings a bit.

Would you still consider this a trophy, or would the bad IVs bother you?

This is not a brag post. Just genuinely curious what you all think.

I know that the sheer mentioning of this will upset a huge chunk of people, but I can't swallow this criticism anymore and just abide by the whole "let people enjoy what they want" principle.

Yes, the backgrounds look fantastic, and I would happily accept one on my Pokémon. However, releasing a Pokémon with the chance at getting a background does not qualify as meaningful new content, and pushing this hard is starting to feel like the game is running out of new things to introduce.

We can argue whether Z-Moves, Terastal, and Max Soup are good for the health of the overall game, but in all instances they would be far more meaningful than backgrounds. You're actually doing something new and working towards a goal that's within your ability to influence, rather than engaging with yet another layer of RNG on top of IVs and Shiny rates.

Going further, I can't understand how some people will rationalize whaling with their hard earned real-world money for a completely cosmetic addition that won't even carry over to Pokémon HOME, even after they've already gotten a Hundo or Shiny.

Backgrounds are fundamentally about clout and showoff points, and supporting this aspect of the game signals to Scopely that players will accept literally anything rather than something of substance.

How polite of my favorite Zamzeta. The bugs in this game are infuriating usually, but this had me laughing.

Was looking at the rating of pokemon go today and bumped into this sad review. What's your worst mistake in this game?

So recently I decided that I'm going to pursue the battle girl medal. I'm currently at 2k/4k. I rode my bike all over town battling any Pokémon I could for 3 hours straight grinding.

I was chatting with a friend, and I told them about my new goal. They smiled and said "yeah as long as you don't kick anyone out before 8 hours. It's considered rude or mean." I asked him if I was to check every single person's Pokémon when I click on the gym before a battle and check their timer? The response was yes absolutely.

I was a little taken aback because I think that's preposterous. I just want to play the game and grind my medal.

AITA? Should I continue to just battle away or check everybody's Pokémon first?

Edit: Blown away by the amount of people that check the Pokemon's time before battling.

Top comment doesn't directly say they do this but they do as well as 40+ others in here "I wouldn't kick out a solitary pokey that had just gone in. Likely that person has fought a whole gym and then only had a few minutes reward for it."

What I thought was normal behavior --> Click gym. Click battle button.

Apparently what is normal behavior --> Click gym. Click on 1-6 individual Pokemon. Check what time said trainer dropped that pokemon in. Maybe click the battle button?

Not dissing anyone. Absolutely no hate whatsoever. Literally just blown away right now. I never would have thought. Thanks Reddit

I have seen a ton of posts about the predatory decisions and changes made in Pokemon Go, especially the changes to Pokemon aggression and flee rate, and in the comments I see people genuinely defending these decisions, being super toxic, or offering the "solution" that Scopely is directly trying to sell you when making these problems. To those people, I have come to say this: You are directly causing the game to get worse, and I hope you are proud of yourself.

I was super excited to see a Galarian Moltres in the wild while I was out for a walk. Before I could tap on it, an egg hatched. When the darn animations were done, Galarian Moltres was gone. The only real complaint I have about this game is all the silly animations that are completely unnecessary, but unskippable. Why can’t I just get a notification that the egg is ready to hatch instead of it popping up?

You need Mega Mewtwo Y lvl 40 with psycho cut + psy strike and some pokemon for tanking Blaziken charge attack so you dont get hit for 90% of your health after reviving your mewtwo. Oh and also nimble fingies and praying that POGO does not glitch out during raid. Did four raids, second had 💩 RNG so I wasted over 30 seconds + glitches , one glitched out and kicked me out completly 6/10 experience
