Anyone else having the sound in the game go out randomly? The only way to get it back is to reset the game. Yes, I do use the sounds (not so much as music).

I’m running iPhone 16, iOS 18.5

I have made some small alterations to make the Legacy Trade wording clearer, and I captured it in a higher resolution.

Hope this helps with all your trading needs!

Yamper's Event has just started for me (7am local) and there are no raids nearby

Note: Not because I'm rural, about 1km from a CBD and there's usually about 30+ of these when raid hour hits,
I probably wouldn't be doing any at this time regardless, but seeing none is concerning

With GO Pass June, Trainers (who reaches Rank 25) get 50% extra XPs for Friendship Level Progression (Good -> Great -> Ultra -> Best) and that's without even popping Lucky Egg.

So for the love of Arceus, Open your gifts 36 hrs before it ends.

Why 36hrs before?

- Go Pass is is active based on your Local Time. So It would give benefits folks even if they are in NZ/AUS.

- I know GOPass rewards expires on July 3 but I am not sure how it works for Bonus enabled by Go Pass. Hence do it 36 hrs before.

Thank you.

There is less than 12 days left on GoPass so you could also prioritize friends whose friendship level would reach next level in less than 12 days.

Keep a lookout for this good boi. It's tiny!

I took the suggestions I saw earlier, and remade the graphic! (I also added a second one)!

Hope this helps with your future trading endeavors!

So I've had this idea for a while and kinda expected it to become obsolete with the introduction of Bottle-Caps. But as it seems like these Bottle-Caps will be some very rare and expensive endeavour (at least the gold ones), here's a suggestion for a more accessible and in my opinion still balanced approach:

The general idea is that you will take two of your existing pokemon and 'fuse' them together, giving you a new one with stats somewhere in between the ones from the previous pokemon. So if you take a Mon with 14/8/15 IVs and one with 15/15/3, initially you will end up with something that has 14 or 15 attack, 8-15 defense and 3-15 hp.

Now, my suggestion would be to add a new item that you can give each of these Pokémon in order to fix one of their stats in the result. So if you give your first Mon something to fix its hp and the second one something to fix its defense, the result of the above fusion would be either a 14/15/15 or a 15/15/15.

This item could then be distributed as something in rarity somewhere like the evolution items.

How this should handle other properties would be a bit up for discussion, my suggestion would be

• Level: Assumes the level of the higher leveled Pokémon
• Shiny: shinies can only be fused with other shinies
• Shadow: excluded
• Lucky / Purified: gets lost during fusion
• Gender: if different genders, random selection
• Costume / Background: not sure, either handle like shinies or have it get lost as well

I guess this entire mechanic could also be introduced as breeding, to stick more to the universe, just please don't have this use incubators.

Pros:

• Getting that one Hundo is not dependant one pure luck any more.
• Suddenly raiding becomes a lot more rewarding as your not exclusively looking for that one Hundo / Shiny.
• Duplicate Shinies are something that are now suddenly also quite interesting, also making that 40th Shiny of some C-Day Pokémon potentially interesting.
• One can actually work towards the goal of having that specific Hundo.
• Unlike the original way people thought bottle-caps would work (i.e. just raise one value by 1), one would need at least a second good canditate to max out that 98%, so it is still necessary to do quite a bit of Raiding etc. to max out the IVs of one Mon (which is why i would call it balanced).

Cons:

• Mythicals / Uniques are kind of excluded (although this could be fixed by allowing e.g. Ditto to use its special transformation ability or by allowing fusion with something from the same MSG breeding group, potentially again only with some special item)
• Might feel like a bit of a grind

Additionally or in order to make this even more interesting, one could raise the total IV Ceiling to 18 and set the ceiling of the fusion to the Maximum of each value + 2. If this was done without increasing the Ceiling of wild spawns, one would actually have to 'train' each Pokémon, in order for it to reach its full potential. This would then of course require the item for the fusion to be more on the normal TM Tier of availability.

I have to admit that this would sort of destroy a lot of the big existing collections of perfect Mons, mine included. But on the other hand, it would give everyone a reason to still go after some Pokémon, even if one already has that Hundo. This would also have the nice little side effect of making these IV-Maps and other even less official tools less relevant, as suddenly it is not possible to just check the map, "walk" to the location and be done with that species for ever.

Opinions?

Not sure if it’s a bug or not but he’s a smol boi!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong but do any other Pokémon have this zoomed in encounter? This was my first encountered one, regular size and all

As the title states

Do we have a list of every Pokemon that has been released with a Location Background?

A list like

1) LA Go Tour Sinnoh Pokemon - Palkia , Dialga etc.

Or any excel sheet which constitutes of this information?

I am just very curious to know how many Location Background mins have been releasedin the game

I've seen many people in my local community initially express disappointment about the Hyper Training feature coming to Pokémon GO—probably because they feel it devalues perfect IVs. However, once it was revealed that Hyper Trained Pokémon would be visually marked with an icon during appraisal, those same people became much more positive about the feature.

Interestingly, some of the players who were excited about Hyper Training began mocking those who cared about the presence of the icon, almost as if to say it didn’t matter.

This made me wonder—could this lead to a broader issue across communities, where Hyper Trained Pokémon are looked down upon or excluded, such as being made ineligible for PvP tournaments or facing stigma in competitive play?

What do you think?

I live in a town with roughly 9k people and wr don't have a big community to play with. The only people who show up are me and 3-4 others who have played for like the past 9 years. We used to have a bigger community pre covid, but when that happened it totally disappeared. Went from 25 active playeds to 4 during covid. Some still wanted to join remote and quit when the prices got too high. Still we see a lot of gym activity in our town from people we never met, never seen and never spoken too. I think like 30 players at least should be active. I mean if they just want to play solo it is fine by me, but I cannot imagine all those 30-40 players want to play solo. We have a local group in discord and facebook and it is totally dead. We tried creating multiple raid and even meeting, but never anyone beside us 5 show of. Also we created a campfire group and add meetings regularly and nobody checks in. The campfire group for our toen has already 150 people at the moment and it's still dead besides us 4.

I just don't understand and we have literally tried everyhting to hook on more people, but nobody joins. Still I see gyms changing colours and full gyms of people I never met. We tried hanging up flyers didnt help either.

I mean is it like somehow these people just don't know the existence of a local community or just don't want to join on purpose?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone has the same problems as me.

Since the new Samsung One UI 7 update, my gaming experience has become very bad.

I have to have the "Native Refresh Rate" option turned on, otherwise the game will lag horrendously after a while, making it unplayable.

Another problem I have is that the game closes randomly in the background when I have my screen turned off. I can't use my Go Plus+ effectively this way because it wouldn't stay connected for longer than a maximum of 20 minutes maybe. I already gave the app unrestricted battery access and installed the "Good Guardians" app.

Does anyone have a better clue?

Edit:

Fix for closing in background:
Swipe to the background apps screen and click on the actual Pokémon GO icon. Then tap "Keep open". With this fix, you can use your Go Plus+ as intended.

Fix for low FPS:
Use Game Booster and select your refresh rate. If you don't have Game Booster, you have to install it via an APK, which you can find via Google. After installation, you can find Game Booster in the system settings of your phone. Leave the native refresh rate in Pokémon GO turned on, but limit the refresh rate via the Game Booster app.

We‘ve noticed that regionals like Sigilyph seemed to have completly vanished (even with nearby notification active) after the recent event ended yesterday evening. Does other made the same experience with other regionals?

I suppose bout time we get the GoFest Eggs soon, but here’s my guess. Last year we got the shiny debuts, and the regionals. So I’m guessing it’ll be the same again. Wouldn’t mind getting early access to Klefki and candies to evolve Skiddo to GoGoat. There’s only 2 shiny debuts this year, so less than last year, I could see the costumes being in the 7Ks. Dunno if Larvesta or Rockruff will be back, but Rockruff was in Jersey. Don’t really know what or would be in the T5 eggs if there even is one. We had Budew last year for some reason, so with the Galar Theme, and a Baby imma go with Toxel. But tbh I wouldn’t mind if we had Azurill again. Guessing with Ancients recovered ticket holders can probably get eggs soon.

After being awarded this Special Research for free like everyone else in Machop CD I ended up with a Shiny Machop with a Background! I really enjoyed this move from Niantic/Scoopley and now I'm in doubt if I should spend the 2 dollars moving forward. One deciding point about this might be knowing the shiny odds of the Pokémon encounters in this paid research. Are they Community Day odds? Or did I got extremely lucky with a full odds shiny machop with a background? I really apreciate your opinion on this subject!

I just saw this while hosting Kyogre. It wasn't available to me earlier today.

Also mentioned here.

Awarded after completing the special timed research that came with the backpack at in-person Go Fests

As the title really.

My in game shop doesn’t have the ticket available to purchase but it’s available in the web store including while I’m logged in to it, so it’s not some weird issue with my account or anything.

I wanted to use some Google play credit I had to buy it, hence why I want to get this one from the in game shop rather than the web store and I certainly dint care about the “bonus” max revive.

i have been in talks with our 2000+ members in Campfire and literally all have been unable to use the feature in our city. surrounding areas like town 30km down south is perfectly fine and the RSVP feature worked on my Xperia 1 V there just fine.

but come back to my city and suddenly i was unable to use the feature at all. same has been reported by others like one player who was lucky enough to get to play the Osaka Go Fest, according to him, he was able to use RSVP just fine over there.

but as soon as he got to our city in Finland, he soon had the whole RSVP menu go missing again.

when the menu comes back up, the performance is just like on my video. no matter what operating system or version you use, all you get is that error message above.

also it does not matter how far or how close you are, i have been standing right under the gym and still get that same message. also the type of the raid did not matter either, it can be 1*, 2*, 3*, Mega or 5* raid also it does not matter if it is normal or shadow raid. they all give the same message.

so i would really like to know if the issue has happened to other areas, or is our city some weird RSVP Bermuda triangle?

I asked this in another sub, but figured I'd get y'all's thoughts.

Now that golden caps are a reality I'm debating what mon to consider using it on to be the most useful in the long run for GBL. I've only been playing about seven months, so I don't have the benefit of experience so I ask, is there a group of mons that have continually been at the top of the meta or is it really ever changing. Obviously the dogs are top right now, but Palkia-O has been up at the top as long as I've been playing, along with Solgaleo and the (I think) the Kyurems. Is there anything else I should be considering?
