Do you want to post your trainer code there? I'm not sure if strangers might see it here and then I guess request you as a friend. Of course, you could always reject their request. I'm not sure of the best way to go about this! ^^; Anyway, I'll message you in PoGo now!Thank you for the concern, but I'm alright! It's no different than seeing people list their nintendo 3DS friend codes, and I need to have it on hand here anyway for when people ask.
I play and gift every day. Add me please!

What do you guys think about getting Alolan eggs from the friendship gifts? I've hatched one so far and it was a Meowth. It's hard for me to keep an open space since where I work I can reach two stops and I spin them a lot. Even if you have an open egg space you might not get an egg from a gift. My husband has two open spots and is afraid to visit any stops before he can get eggs from gifts.Yeah, I know what you mean about avoiding spinning stops in order to stop egg slots from filling with regular eggs. Currently I’m just trying to keep an eye on egg slots; I keep them all full and once an egg hatches I quickly open a gift and usually one of the gifts will have an Alolan egg which I then incubate. I’ve been buying super incubators because I’m impatient :) (but only with in-game gym money so far; I haven’t given into buying incubators with real money . . . yet.) It does help the Alolan eggs hatch faster, of course, which is a nice feeling. I’m really hoping to hatch a white Vulpix but they’re pretty rare!
Overall it's an interesting feature and adds a different kind of challenge.
Accepted Haruna... I've also added everyone else on this thread... I wish there was a way to "nickname" people so I knew who was who and how far away they were... lol
What kind of Alolans do you get from eggs? I wonder if it varies between countries or continents. I've gotten way too many Meowths and Sandshrews, luckily also a Vulpix and a Grimer.I’m pretty sure those four, plus Alolan Rattata, are the Alolans available right now. That’s awesome that you got a Vulpix! So far I’ve hatched mostly Rattata (argh), and then after that about three each of Grimer and Sandshrew, as of today. I thought I hatched more but apparently only hatched two Meowth. No Vulpixes so far! Crossing my fingers . . .
Just visited the two pokestops in my area! Got a nice handful of Squirtles, and a shiny event one! ooo. I can't wait until the weather is a little more...my temperature to do longer hauls.Aweseome, a shiny! :D
With the new nickname feature I'm trying to get people's arena usernames matched up to their Pokemon Go usernames. I went through the thread and found most of them.
So anyone wanna claim these? :lol:SpoilerGhofddtil

I was about to check where they came from specifically, and I did see their origins just a few days ago, but as per today I can no longer see it, it only says "hatched" (and this is true for the rest of my Pokémon too.. do you also have this issue?).Hmm, mine still say where they're from! I have an iPhone -- are you on Android?
I can't decide if I like Grimer or Sandshrew more. Sandshrew is so cute in colour and animation, but aw, Grimer is so... teenie! She's so small compared to my reguar Grimer - is that normal? (she's not XS)Wow, I'd never noticed that! I compared my Grimers just now and yes, my Alolan Grimer is smaller than my Kanto one!
As for the friends-features: guys, I wish trading was not a locally restricted thing... Mr. Mime is such an everyday sight here that I constantly just pass him and don't even bother to catch anymore... I would be happy to send a few over to those who are not residing in Europe and don't yet have him if that was an option!Oh, I totally agree! I can see why Niantic had to limit trading (spoofers, boo) but it would be so fun to trade with you guys even though we don't live close by. I don't have a Mr. Mime -- that's one of the few I still need and I don't think I'll get to Europe anytime soon!
Yep, I'm on Android. I really hope this is just a glitch in the latest update, and will be fixed with the following one, knowing where all my Pokémon are from was such a cool feature, and it existed ever since I can remember...I was about to check where they came from specifically, and I did see their origins just a few days ago, but as per today I can no longer see it, it only says "hatched" (and this is true for the rest of my Pokémon too.. do you also have this issue?).Hmm, mine still say where they're from!

Speaking of trading, I traded a Pokemon with my sister last night and it turned into a lucky Pokemon! It was an Eevee and I traded her an Alolan Meowth that also turned lucky. I thought older Pokemon were supposed to be more likely to turn lucky, but we had caught/hatched both of those that day. *shrug* Anyway, I'm glad my first (and possibly only!) lucky is an Eevee. And I can't wait for Eevee community day!!!!!

Got a lucky friend today! Too bad we are in different countries and can’t trade :huh:*raises hand* :blush: First I was like "whoa, how did she do those characters in her name?", then I realised that's what indicate we are lucky friends - then came the disappointment when I read on and realised that we'd have to trade to benefit from this status :huh: I don't have a lucky Pokémon yet...
Caught a shiny Buneary too! On my husband’s account.... :facepalm: :facepalm:I'll share my silliness from yesterday in hope you might feel a little better: yesterday I was going through my Pokémon, checking which to keep, transfer or evolve, and I realised I have 2 Machokes and 99 Machop candies. I was keeping the two Machokes exactly to evolve one of them into a Machamp when I get enough candy, in hope that they evolve to be stronger than my current Machamp. So in I go to my items, use a rare candy to make my candy count 100, go back to my Pokémon, select the Machoke with the bigger CP, and, like a robot...

and when there is suddenly only one Machoke instead of the evolution animation, I realise this is not what I wanted to do :facepalm:
At least your hubs has a shiny Buneary now ;)
This makes me wish that Niantic could allow a wordwide trade once a month or something!That would be awesome! I'd love to be able to trade with you guys. I feel like if they limited the trading to once a month or so, like you said, or a special event or something, it wouldn't encourage cheating or whatever Niantic's trying to avoid.
I transferred a shiny Minun >_< Complete auto pilotooooooouch! >_< :huh:
Still no international trading or anything? That's a missed opportunity. I forget, is internet trading a thing or do you have to be next to the person you're trading with?No, as far as I'm aware, trading is still available only when you're standing next to each other. I too think this is a missed opportunity, especially in today's world where there's little you cannot do with others online... I also agree that I wouldn't need this to be a regular thing, but it would be great if it was possible on dedicated special events at least...
I haven't played in a while but when I head down to the beach it's fun to play, see you guys in two months. :P
How is everyone doing with the game recently? I've kept on playing but not very actively. The most recent events left me a bit neutral (and I've never even seen a silhouette of a Pikachu in a detective hat), so I'm starting to lose a little interest again. All the Snorlax lying around looked funny today though :) I caught one with CP over 2400, more than my "old" Snorlax I caught via some event/monthly challenge back in 2016, so I'm happy with that, but other than that I find this event a little lacking: I already had two Snorlax(es?), and the only extra feature is a special move? They could have given us a Snorlax in a sleeping hat :3 or at least a shiny - though I'm very unlucky with shinies, I think I've only ever caught 4 or 5 shiny Pokémon.I'm playing every day, pretty much, but casually and just focusing on what I want -- which would mainly be shiny Growlithe at this point. :lol: I have two research quests that give Growlithe as a reward, so I'm hoping one will be shiny.

I believe the only way to get the Pikachu was to take a picture with your camera, then he would show up. (once a day, I think).Ah, that would explain things... :/ I never have my camera on, as it eats the battery and I hate to charge my mobile daily...
I'm lucky that theres a park that's not far where people play all the time. They put up the special lures yesterday and I was able to get leafeon and glaceon. *^_^*Lucky! I hope you'll also get Magikarp soon!
Haruna, is there a specific tactic you can use for shinies, or are they just totally random? If it is the latter, I can imagine the frustration, as I guess you basically just have to catch every Pokémon you come across? I've only ever come across them a handful of times, and (IIRC) all of mine are from the wild (and none from events where shinies were said to appear more frequently...).As I understand it, there are 1 out of the 450, say, Growlithes you'll meet in the wild that are shiny -- pretty bad odds. But I tap on any Growlithe because hope springs eternal. There are a few species who are more likely to be shiny if they come from research tasks, raids, or are hatched from eggs (like some baby Pokemon). I think Community Day rates for the featured Pokemon are 1 in 25, and I've had good luck with that usually, but I'm sorry you haven't. Sometimes the odds just work out really bad even when shiny rates are increased.
I completely and utterly missed the slakoth event. Was sad I missed the opportunity for a pink sloth. It's not a common pokemon around here.Wow, congrats on your shiny Latias, that's super cool!
Continuing the subject of shinies I got super lucky with the research tasks reward and got a shiny Latias!

If they are, do you already have all the others, or is Growlithe just a special want?
Wow, congrats on your shiny Latias, that's super cool!Yay, I'm so happy for you! Shiny Slakoth does look pretty funky. Somehow I think the pink color is so random though that it's cute, lol.
I got lucky with the event this time - I was totally unaware, I opened the app quickly only to check if there are any pokéstops around (we were in an apartment on a holiday abroad, and we had a little rest time before we departed to an event that afternoon), and in the 5 minutes I had the app open I caught 3 Slakoths, 2 of which were shiny! :shocked: (who came up with this colour choice though? Poor things look like they were shaved nekkid :P ) Slakoth is totally uncommon here as well (the single one I had so far was hatched), so I was super happy :)
Thank you! I was actually really happy this week because someone in my area has a shiny Growlithe they will trade me for a legacy move Gengar!

I’ve also got this quest! And I’d love to have some more Pokemon Go friends either way so I thought I’d post here.Adding you! :)

I’ve sent you a request, banditpony!
Ooh thank you for the info about the Eevee (and the friend request)! I’m in love with shiny Mareep. So cute.You're welcome! My sister sent you a friend request; her user name is ShioriHitohana :)

Congrats on your Growlithe!
Now I'm wondering if it is absolutely necessary to evolve that Dratini for the quest to accept the evolution, or if it can be any Dratini - or Dragonair, for that matter. I have had two Dragonairs for a long time now, one was kept to be evolved further, and I would then wait with evolving one of those into a Dragonite until I'm at that step of the quest. Which I might not be able to complete anyway, because it involves trading and I literally don't know a single person who plays and is local. Another quest has also been parking in my quest list for months because of this same reason.That's tough that you don't have anyone to trade with :/ Again I wish that we could trade at a distance. I've found some trading partners through Discord; maybe you could find some close by people that way?
The checklist also reminded me how insanely few shinies I have... Squirtle, Magikarp, Hariyama (caught as a Makuhita), Ho-Oh, Poochyena, Aron, Swablu, Smoochum and Slakoth are the only ones I have in shiny form. I like Swablu the most, but Magikarp the goldfish is also very cute :)Swablu is really cute as a shiny! You have some cool ones :) In about two weeks I'll be Ultra Friends with the two people (a second person also offered me a shiny Growlithe and I'll turn it into an Arcanine!) I'm trading with. It's so long to wait, lol.
I' m also happy to hear you are getting a shiny Growlithe - did the trade go through in the end?
Last week we spent a long weekend abroad, and holy boy, Novi Sad in Serbia is one big Slakoth nest! Remember how I said I felt lucky finding 3 Slakoths when we were abroad the last time, as my city just doesn't have them at all, and the single one I had before that was hatched? Here they were lying aroung everywhere! :O I wasn't playing a lot, but I still managed to catch enough to evolve one up until Slaking! :cool: I also found enough Skorupi to evolve one (this Pokémon is also totally uncommon here), so my weekend was totally successful Pokémon-wise. The only downside is that it's now slightly boring to be back home, there's hardly anything new coming up anymore here for me nowadays, so I'm starting to lose my interest...Wow, that's a lot of Slakoth! I rarely see them, or Skorupi. I think I've only caught three Skorupi so far ^^; I have a lot of grass and bug Pokemon in my biome, and also a lot of cloudy weather that attracts normal and rock types.
SpoilerI'm pretty sure you can evolve any Dratini to meet the requirements of Step 2 :) What you'll want to do and what I didn't do is save that Dratini-turned-Dragonair for Step 6, because one of the tasks is "Evolve a Dragonair"! The other two tasks on that step -- "Make a new friend" (again!) and "Win a level 3 or higher raid" give you 60 Dratini candies each. I'm pretty sure you can choose to evolve your Dratini-turned-Dragonair or the one you already have and had planned to evolve.
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you to whom ever is in Pennsylvania because I hatched a shiny Cleffa from and egg from you!This made me check where my Smoochum (whom I nicknamed Shimmerchum :P ) has come from, as she's my only hatched shiny - she's from Tifton, Georgia, so whoever is there, thanks for the egg! :lovey:
I know it’s random and the friends don’t actually influence egg results but I thought I’d share :D
Loona, in a pinch maybe you could have a friend or family member download the game for the trade?I had this thought too, but I honestly cannot think of anyone... my husband hates it to the point that I just stopped playing if he's around, and my sister is totally not interested in games, never was. I could ask the husband's nephew who I know tried the game years ago, but I also know he hasn't been interested and quickly stopped, and we only meet when the family is together so the husband is there too.
My recent happy moments are tied, I cannot decide which one I'm happier about: I managed to catch yet another shiny: on my seventh day of research I encountered a shiny Latias! :shocked: :cool: but I might actually be happier for the Kyogre I caught on my previous seventh day, as I in general like water Pokémon a lot. I won't say I would have minded if he turned out to be shiny too, but with Kyogre I much prefer the original colour scheme.
Eep...I managed an "Excellent" throw with a curve ball. Totally accidental but I'll take it! Also, I found my first shiny--it's a Seel.Sent you a friend request, Pokeyonekenobie! ^.^ It’s so cool that you caught a shiny Seel. I’d love to run into one of those someday! I recently acquired my grail of shiny Growlithe via trading with a perfect stranger in front of Starbucks. Awkward but at least I have my shiny tiger-dog now, lol.
Is there a list of everyone's user names [and possibly codes] under a spoiler somewhere so that we can look up who has sent us a request? (I just don't have the time to go through 9 pages of names right now). :biggrin:Unfortunately, no ^^; If there are any names you're particularly puzzled by, though, I might be able to help you match Arena person to Pokemon player!
Haruna, I'm so happy to hear you've finally got your shiny Growlithe! :)Thanks so much! ^.^ I'm so happy to finally have him.
I'm a little bit disappointed, as I was so looking forward to see at least a shiny Barboach or Carvanha during the current event, but despite catching a trillion of them, no shiny. I was really looking forward to this event (not because of the shinies, but because I love most water Pokémon), but after the first two days I got a bit less excited, even bored... Pokémon they've announced (and some of them I'd need) are showing up really scarcely... haven't seen a single Wartortle, Poliwhirl, Lapras, Quilfish,Mantine, Lotad, Feebas, Piplup, Buizel or Wooper, and I'm passing watery locations on a daily basis. I have seen a single Seaking, and have only caught a single Finneon. Wailmer is a bit more common, but I'm still not even close to 300 candies, let alone 400). Yesterday I barely turned the game on, and today only for the sake of evolving Caravanhas and Barboaches to complete a quest. Well, at least I won't be sad I'm missing two days, as I won't be able to play the game during the weekend, as we'll be away visiting family.I haven't found any shinies, either :/ I haven't been playing the game much this past week because of phone issues, though. I've seen some water Pokemon, but I live in a grass and water Pokemon paradise so it isn't unusual for me. They've mostly been Carvanha and Barboach, and Wailmer. I was happy the day I found a Feebas, so I'll call that my rare catch for this event.
So I'm playing only occasionally, but I need more friends for research so if anybody still has space, here's my code:I'll add you!Spoiler7577 5596 9992
Caught a shiny Houndour. He's blue instead of black.That's awesome! Houndour is a favorite of mine. How did you find it, out of curiosity?
Anyone having problems with Pokemon Go? I can’t log in with googleYeah, sometimes either one of the two methods of logging into Pokemon Go (Google or a Pokemon Trainer Club, depending on what you signed up for) are not working because the respective servers are down. Google, at the very least, tends to be more reliable and the servers don't go down nearly as often as the PTC servers go down. It's frustrating, though.
Now it’s working again

He just showed up. I don't think I did anything special to find him. But I decided to evolve him into Houndoom. :)
Anyone having luck with the regional eggs? I finally got Tauros and Farfetch'd, so my Gen 1 dex is COMPLETE :frolic:Awesome! I actually didn't know they were doing regional eggs ^^; I'm out of the loop these days.
Just out of curiosity, how does everyone decide which pokemon to keep and which to send to the professor? Is it based on attack power, how many stars it gets when your leader evaluates it or something else?Typically people keep the Pokemon with most stars when the team leader evaluates it. Even Pokemon with the same number of stars can have slightly different defense, HP, and attack, though. I'm not an expert and don't battle all that much (especially not player vs. player), but I think in general if you're looking at a good defensive Pokemon -- say, Snorlax -- you'll want to keep the Snorlax with the highest HP stat, given that all else is equal. If you're looking at a great damage-per-second attack Pokemon, like Gengar, you'd want high attack stats. Does anyone else want to chime in with some advice?
I just caught a shiny Eevee with a flower! Not sure if I want to keep it Eevee or evolve it...

Anyone else just get an update that says the Pokemon storage has been expanded to 3000?I remember seeing this message a couple of weeks ago. I believe it only referred to the possible capacity - you'll still need to buy extra 50+ storages individually, but earlier there was an overall limit. Only guessing though, as I never even reached 4 digit in storage :D

The only thing that's boring me in the game is the catching mechanics. Just recently, nearly every Pokemon that I've tried to catch has escaped 5+ balls of any kind, even if I get a good shot. Then half of them run away....
There are still very few PokeStops in my area, making it a nuisance to keep losing the balls in the first place.
I'm also having issues with the game, although for me it's the AR refusing to work. It's too bad because I have a quest where I have to take 5 photos of ice-type Pokémon, and I was saving this for a day when I don't go anywhere and it's less likely that I encounter Pokémon, but I wasn't able to fulfill it yesterday because AR just didn' work at all. It just did not load. It still does not today... my experience with such issues is the same as Sora's: there isn't really much we can do, it will sort itself out in a couple of days.
I'm using 8 incubators at the moment, luckily I had the opportunity to spin almost every day, even if I didn't really plat that day. I missed the half distance hatching though, as I haven't even left the house yesterday. I still believe this whole event was a little ill-timed (I guess many people spend Christmas inside with family, and the 1st of January mostly in bed :P ). Oh well, they'll hatch eventually.
One of my field tasks was to get 5 great curveball throws in a row. I managed 4. :cry:I hate that one! I had the simpler one of making 3 great curveball throws in a row (for the Jirachi quest) and it is *ridiculously frustrating.* 4 in a row is awesome! Good luck on the 5 in a row!
I didn't have a chance to participate in the Piplup Community Day, but I also caught a few shinies recently, the weirdest being shiny Alolan Vulpix (hatched). I say weird because it doesn't look any different from the non-shiny version. I have to look at them *really* hard to tell them apart, and then too I think I only see the difference because I want to see it. I haven't even noticed it's a shiny until I was browsing my Pokémon storage and noticed the shiny icon there :lookround::drool: I wish we lived close enough to trade; I've been obsessing about shiny Alolan Vulpix way too much, lol. You're right; it's really hard to tell the difference between the shiny and the regular!
Don't forget to catch your Pikachu and Eevee with party hats on! Also, I caught a machamp this morning. :shocked:Whoa! I'm liking this event -- there's more of a variety of Pokemon, and even though the hat thing has been overused I like seeing my favorite Pokemon, Eevee, with a little hat.
I just caught a shiny Treecko and hadn't noticed until just now that I caught a shiny Pikachu with a flower hat on sometime last week. Sometimes I wish the shiny colors were more drastic on some of them. If shiny Pikachu was red, blue, or purple instead of a slightly darker shade of yellow, he would be more noticeable and (IMO) much more interesting to keep around. Even the shiny Turtwig and Treecko, while still a shade of green, are more turquoise than the green that they come in so they're very noticeable. I wonder sometimes if I've accidentally transferred a shiny without realizing it just because the color was so close to the original.Shiny Pikachu is super similar to regular Pikachu. I think that the game will warn you if you try to transfer a shiny, if that eases your mind a little.
Today, while stuck at home, I somehow finally hatched my 10k egg and it was Gible. Worth the wait! I have a research task that is "hatch 4 eggs," ridiculously hard when I'm staying home.Congrats on hatching Gible!
How is everyone else playing Pokemon Go? I haven't been as dedicated recently since I can't leave the house, but Pokemon spawn in our house regularly so I've been trying to keep up my catch streak at least.
Now if we can just trade with our friends in other countries.
Deerlings are out and about :) So cute.Now if we can just trade with our friends in other countries.
Yes!
Did anyone manage to get more than one galaran ponyta? I didn’t know it was a limited 2 day thing until after it was over. I only got one :( I hoard ponytas..I did, but only two. I think that they can hatch out of 7 km eggs now, though!

I just caught a shiny Groudon! He's green.Oh congrats! And thanks for the advice on the event today. I was trying to find a shiny Mareep but no luck. I missed shiny Mareep and Dratini back when they had their community days and it's been a fruitless search since . . .
Omg I just hatched one! Fantastic!Awesome! :iconclap:
These days I'm just casually playing. I tried to do one of the regional challenges but got salty that the app didn't count the Herdier I evolved from a Lilipup -- that would have completed the challenge and I wanted the rare candy. I think I needed to do a raid, but I didn't have the time to find one. Ah, well. I'll just walk with my ice cream cone for a while and get enough candy to evolve it.
I'm a very active Pokemon Go player, please add me! 0743 5955 6907I requested you! My name in-game is PinkNinjaKitty. I'm looking for Xerneas raids bc I missed the last round! But I'll usually fight in any raid if I can
It's a bit last minute, but I'm looking to play as many Regigigas raids as possible... it's one of my favorite legendaries, but all the ones I've caught so far have had pretty mediocre stats. Will also invite friends to raids, just let me know what you are looking for.
It seems like there's something new every day anymore. I'm just frustrated because I need to catch a Landorous to get a picture of him for a research task still but now the only legendaries in the raids are Xerneas and it will change to Yveltal soon.I'm so out of the loop that I didn't even know we can take pictures with Landorous for research tasks. Ay ay ay.
Do you guys plan on doing Pokemon Go Fest? I think I will, for the Deinos and the chance of a shiny Dratini.
Ridi I sent you a friend request. :)
Ridi I sent you a friend request. :)
Thank you! What's your username? I posted a friend request on twitter yesterday and got like 20+ new friends XD
Had a good day 1 of go fest! Got to add Chatot and Throh to my Pokedex, and got a shiny Sawk, among others. Love those guys. Unfortunately my Meloetta and event Flygon turned out to be rather mediocre 2*s. >_<
Hoping to complete my legendary dex today! I just got an invite to a Reshiram raid by a friend in Japan, now I just need Zekrom iirc.
I just started playing a little less than 2 months ago. Always looking for new friends on Pokemon Go and I send gifts out daily. My trainer code is 6159 7136 5317 and user name is firefly163s. You can also send me a pm on here if you're looking for specific Pokemon to trade. I haven't done any trades yet, but I'm interested in getting exclusives that are found outside the U.S.

I'm really not having much fun playing Pokemon Go lately. I cannot use charged attacks, I cannot use curve ball throws, half the time the pokeball doesn't even throw so I lose any chance of having nice/great/excellent throws, and when it does throw it goes off the opposite direction from where I tried to send it. I've sent in bug reports but it doesn't look like they care to fix these issues any time soon. Battling is such a joke I can't beat low-level grunts. On top of that, the change in distance from Pokestops/Gyms is making it very difficult for me to even spin for items. I was sitting IN a pokestop this morning and couldn't spin it until my avatar wandered close enough, but then it kept wandering away so it made it difficult to stock up on things.
So I don't know...I may wait until they actually do something to fix the issues. I may play community days to get shinies but that's about all I can do right now...assuming the ball actually manages to go the right way.
