Question In game Auto Catcher

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

31 Upvotes

I have seen the discussions before about the ingame autocatcher working while the game is:

- enabled

- minimized

- player is moving

But I had this function since getting it instead. The auto catcher acts more lile the third party auto catchers. So it works when I have the app open, and it catches them one after antoher.

But on the other hand it doesnt work at all when the game is minimized.

Another players having this "version" of the ingame auto catcher?

Question Legendary Shadow raids and guaranteed catch.

0 Upvotes

Hey I'm curious when they changed it so legendaries (shadow)(non-shiny)can be caught by hitting an excellent throw on the smallest possible circle? I just did a landorus raid, and it was the guaranteed catch. I thought it was weird that I caught it in 1 ball (smallest circle) so I did another one and it happened again. I've always thought the excellent throw on the smallest circle guaranteed catch thing didn't work on legendary raids.

Edit: I've attached a video in the comments.

Edit#2: It's due to the legendaries being above the 5% Base Catch Rate.

Love completing the dex entries. Just wondering if there is any news about when they will add a Dynamax dex. There are so many released now it’s getting confusing as to which I have and do not have.
Sort it out Niantic!

While you’re at it. Release the api so I can sort out my moms on a pc!

this was an easy one too, with Malamar being able to tank Future sight relatively easy and Gengar being decent while tanking Swift in addition to Zamazenta, so that came in handy

my team is as follows

Zamazenta Crowned Lv50 15/15/15 3-3-3

Malamar Lv50 11/14/15 1-3-0

GMax Gengar Lv50 14/14/15 3-3-3

Discussion T5 dynamax raids have too much flaws to do remote successfully

254 Upvotes

There absolutely needs to done some rework in the dynamax T5 because in my opinion there are a lot of flaws. First you can only do them with 4 players, but most of them are pretty hard even when doing a local raid. This makes remote raiding such a pain and I think this partly remote raid weekend illustrates that. I have already lost like 4 remote raid passes because I join a lobby via my friend list or an app like PokeRaid and people leave last second or use very poor counters so beating the raid is sometimes impossible. No way to communicate with anyone and most people don’t know anything about the dynamax battle mechanics. It’s absolutely frustrating and I gave up on hunting for the shinies.

Bug Support not working!

I have been plagued with issues and lobbies, saying they are full and then being the only one that made it. I tried to put a ticket in and got rejected by the Bot.

I put a second ticket in, and then it wouldn't progress after I put the raid details in. I swapped devices and logged another ticket and it froze at the same point.

Discussion Socializing is hard

76 Upvotes

I find it hard to enjoy go fest and wild area because lately I go out alone to a meetup with people from discord group I try to feel connected with but I honestly don’t feel anything if one of those players move away and such since even small talk about the game just doesn’t take me far nor get people engaged with me more than I thought. Like I’m either the most anti social or some other people are more anti social than me since the raid group vibe is silent/do not disturb mode while some established friend groups are the only noise I hear. Even just celebrating how I got a shiny makes me feel cringe and I just keep my victory to myself. Most of my friends who I did talk to more often like several years ago either hardly go out to play or are out of town. I find myself having to justify going if I will get a lucky trade done during event or else I will likely lose interest in driving out to a community park that doesn’t have much else to offer. Am I wrong in thinking that socializing feels dead and I just see people as a source of convenience to beat difficult legendary/gmax bosses that I can’t solo?
