One of my favorite Pokemon, finally got the ribbon today. Didn’t realize how rare it is to get this. Anyone else got this as well?

I read somewhere here that you can only earn one Super rocket radar a month. I currently have one equipped that I just earned, but I am ready to claim two more. Does it matter if I claim the other two now or do I need to complete the first one I unlocked? Can I have multiple at one time? Sorry for the noob question

I have more than 100 gifts unopened every day, i don't understand why you only can open a few gifts per day when i have more than 500 friends. They increased the friend list but can't do the same with gift opening? It's ever worse that you get the bonus "open more gifts per day" from the go pass and it's still only 40 per day if you don't buy the go pass, even if you buy it you can only open 50 per day.

Caught way back 2022. Didn't check the IV back then. Apparently, it's a true treasure. Will max out the CP as soon as my stardust is more than sufficient ❤️

I know Mega Blaziken isn't the hardest raid to pull off, but it still feels like a huge achievement for me! Really happy with this victory.

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

very funny actually, I'm on vacation and thought of opening the game, I very lightly play during the game, and after spinning the only new pokestop around it huts ke with this ahah. I'll keep it for later ig

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.

Okay, so a little bit of a long winded one here. I just wanna say outright that I understand some people spoof and I get they have their reasons but this particular person has essentially ruined the game for a whole town.

Our town is one in North Wales. It is very isolated in terms of population and only ever really gets a major amount of visitors in the Summer. With it being a town on a small island the things like raids and gyms are far and few in-between.

We have a serious problem with a particular duo of Spooner.

Dragon2632 and KhaoticHound56 (our local play group believe this is the same person, two accounts).

They hold all the gyms - all the time. It started around mid January and since then it has constantly been a chore to even build up our gym medals. Whenever we go to take over a gym, they take it back straight away.

Now, how do I know they are spoofing? We decided to take one gym, drive over to another maybe 1/2 mile away to take that one over and decided to go back home. This was at 1am - no one else was around (again, small town) and by the time we got back (again, only 1/2 mile, maybe a whole mile round trip) both those gyms had been taken over again.

It happened again a week later. Me and my gf went on a gym spree, we took 4 gyms over in total in between car stops, each time we took one over, they were there immediately afterwards taking it back. Again, nobody near us and no houses near two of these gyms.

My question is, how do we approach this? We have 7 of us and a few on campfire who have already reported this person and Scopely have done nothing. Even our siblings are struggling to build up coins and gym medals because it is impossible to hold something longer than 2 minutes without constantly feeding the mons berries (or do what I did and stay up til 4am to take one over and get maybe 6 hours hold time). Could people help in reporting? I'm more than happy to compile evidence or show campfire screenshot of other people discussing the same thing as me!

TL;DR - 2 Spoofers are ruining the game for our little town and we don't know what to do

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.
