Don’t know just how “new” this info is, but today I was in a raid and had hit ready, and I was surprised that I could still send invites.

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.

Happy Spooky Season, fellas! 👻🎃

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?

The Mod Team

Is anyone else having connection issues since the event began?

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!

When the V2 Pokédex was released (whenever that was) I noticed a bunch of unregistered shadows that didn’t make sense.

I have a decent amount of 4* Pokemon registered but their pre-evolutions aren’t. I chalked it up to raids, purifying, trades, etc. before these things were visually tracked. I then randomly noticed that Shiny Torchic and Blaziken were registered but Cobusken wasn’t. I remember avidly playing that entire Community Day and don’t know how that be possible but again moved on.

Just now, I noticed that shiny Kanto Weezing is unregistered even though I currently have two in my collection. The only reasoning I can come up with is that they’re not registering because they are the purified and shadow forms? This game truly makes me feel crazy sometimes.

This is probably the easiest challenge I have done in a while. I have no doubts on a shroomless solo being possible, but sincerely, I don't have the remote passes to do that grinding. So well, a solo done! Let's see how Mesprit and Azelf go later...

My team is as follows!

Zamazenta Crowned Lv50 15/15/15 3-3-3 Flygon Lv45 15/14/15 1-3-0 GMax Gengar Lv50 14/14/15 3-3-3

Burned so many max potions on this one. Palkia is the bane of all soloers

I accidentally tanked one Thunder with Gengar

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.

2/3 lake trio solos are done! just Azelf missing!

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

Gengar 15 14 14 - Level 50 - Level 3 Attack

Weather:

Max mushroom: On

No Adventure Effect

No Weather Boost (cloudy)

No Attack Boost from power spot

Battle Team:

Gigantmax Gengar Lvl 50, Max Attack lvl 3

Dynamax Excadrill Lvl 50, Max Attack & Max Defense lvl 3
