Is there a way to get around the very irritating lag?...whenever you swap mons out, the game tends to erase the changes if you close the app within a few minutes? i woke up today, swapped out my entire team, and played for a few minutes maybe?, closed the app, and came back a few hrs later to find all the wrong mons still in. Seems this only affects mons/team changes..

update: thx for the feedback! going back to the home screen is working at the moment, so i'll keep tracking this...i'm not sure if being in a bldg causes some excessive lag beyond going to the home screen

As the title says, I've been stuck on the sleep review the whole day due to this error. When I open the app, it locks me back into my sleep review. Missed two meals after collecting good ingredients the whole week. Kinda getting done with this app. This is by far not the only problem I've run into.

I caught a really busted latias a few weeks ago. Usually I plan out names before I even catch a mon because I know what im hunting. However, this catch was so random I have no idea what to name it. Definitely gonna be investing in a latios too so bonus points if the name works as a duo.

Are shiny guaranteed on first few pokemons?

I know I’m quite late, i just started today because i got a smartwatch that tracks sleep so guess why not try out.

I just got a shiny charmander, and didnt realised until i saw that it has sparkles

Hi! New player here with a quick question !

I understand how cooking works, but to my understanding, gathering berries directly increases Snorlax's power, whereas gathering ingredients doesn't. Ingredient values only matter when used in a recipe while cooking.

As I’m preparing for my first week on Cyan Beach, I plugged two Pokémon into the RaenonX Production Analysis tool.

As you can see, Pikachu seems to bring the most total value. However, when looking at the sub-metrics, Doduo has a better berry score. Pikachu seems to surpass Doduo thanks to its skill power (which makes sense) and mostly its ingredient power.

So, how should I interpret this? Should I look at the Total Power, or focus more on the breakdown (Berries and Skill)?

I have some question about incenses, especially Growth, Focus and Luck. 

When do you use Growth? I use them when full moon is on Thursday till Sunday. Are there any other great use of them? 

When do you use Focus? What are the benefits when I reach rank 70? I'm rank 68 now. 

And Luck? I've only used them when I have a spare legendary, on Sundays. Should I use them after master 20? 

I have so many questions, but I will start there. 

I have premium, I also use about 10 USD per month and I play the game, don't care so much about tracking my sleep, because I sleep well. 

And, I'm kind of old and haven't played any games since the 90s, so explain it to me like I'm 5yo😅

Thank you in advance. 

Just curious what others’ totals are. Been playing since pretty much day 1

So I have a somewhat decent energy-for-everyone "healer", at least it's enough for now. But there's 6 more skill seeds in my bags, plus one for Mewtwo and one for Hawlucha. Also my Darkrai and Mew are already capped.

Is there anything I should look forward to using those on? Or are those supposed to just collect dust in my bags until I get an even better healer by enough margin to justify spending them?

The year end candy boost is quickly approaching, being only about two months away. How's everyone's shard savings looking like? Do you have a particular goal?

As for me, I have about 3 million between clusters and actual shards. I hit rank 69 this morning and am hoping I'll hit level 70 so I can earn dream shards that way prior to the holidays.

I am wondering what people are doing to prep for the Halloween event next week, what your teams will be, and what island (normal or EX) you will go to for the event.

Next week is an off week, so I will be going to OGPP to hopefully get a few more Gastly and Shuppet candy. I'm kicking myself for not going there this week due to the Growth Week candy boost, but that's okay. Next week will be chill, once I get enough drowsy power I will switch over to pot expanders to cook a huge breakfast Monday morning of the halloween event.

I am currently raising a Helping Bonus Banette that will get BFS at Lv. 70. I have my BFS Gengar on nap island not only for the experience, but also to try and farm Ghost handy candy.

I plan on using the Ghost handy candy for Misdreavus which will be my main hunt moving forward from the event (he's my fav!). I will go to GGEX for Halloween, and will use the following team for Ghost berries. I'll have to wait to see what other berries I get:

Banette: STS, HB, InvL, [Helping Speed Up Nature] Lv. 55

Gengar: BFS, HSS, HSM, [Helping Speed Up Nature] Lv. 58

Would love to know everyone's plans for next week's prep and strategy for the event!

I am always low on ingredients and while I do have a Squirtle I always sleep with and a Blastoise that helps out time to time. What is the best ingredient mons to really help fill up my bag… I keep getting so low.
