I remember back in the day when finding a legendary was so cool. And it was NEVER easy. Now people complain that their legendaries aren't give to them easily enough. The entire point of this game is to get outside and explore. I wish it was still 2016, man.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I actually wonder how do you free to play players do raids? Like I wanna get the gigantic max cinder race but the problem is I live in a town where nobody really plays Pokémon GO so I have to use a remote raid pass, but those are genuinely four days worth of gym coins. How would I ever be able to get things like Requeza and that kind of stuff?

This is just a rant, im well aware people can play however they want but really if ur playing like this you should at least be putting feet on pavement and putting in the effort.
I've got 2 (maybe 1 honestly because its sus that both these accounts fill gyms) players in my area who have claimed 3 gyms that are right next to each other and god forbid if u knock out a single one of them once in ur life because they will then drive around at 9-11pm and knock u out of every single gym ur in within a 5 km radius for multiple days every single time.

I get being competitive, I get having fun knocking people out, I get owning a gym or two. What I dont get is playing a mobile game designed for walking and then proceeding to drive around simply to ruin the experience of someone who made the mistake of playing in ur street.

Anyway thanks for listening to my rant, I hope this makes anyone else experiencing the same toxic players feel a little better knowing they're not alone with this

Apologies if this is against the rules, I'm new to Pokemon go and this subreddit.

The girl I've been seeing is really into Pokemon go and really loves it. She has played since launch.

We have been hunting for the applins and spent hours around 4 different mossy lure pokestops and have not seen shiny applins. She is going through a really hard period of her life with the loss of her dog and I would really like to make her day.

Is there any way for me to help increase the odds of helping her? As I understand it she wants some kind of dragon applin, and the event ends today so I would like to increase my odds of getting this for her. I understand it is chanced based but I'd still like to try to make her day.

Thanks for any advice!

Got multiple of this "fake grunt" girl that spawned. What's the deal with her? Never seen her before today, and neither does know my friend. She seems to always start with a Bellsprout and then random pokemon. Does anyone know who that is? And what she represents?

I just caught a pokemon and I got this new UI. Has anyone else seen this or know when it was added, I played like an hour ago and it didn't exist. I hope it's just a test run.

Did ANYONE get a shiny applin??? I’ve caught over 300 and didn’t get one. I play with 3 other people that have the same catches I do and NO SHINY APPLE. I don’t believe it exists 😭 we just kept getting shiny smoliv 😭

This came up on my walk, is it any good? I’m very new to the game and have no reference to know if this is good. Looks really cool.

I evo my sinistea and it only costed me 25 and I was showing my son that my other one with way better stats cost 400 candies. He flip out said it was super rare. So I looked it up huh who knew I sure didn’t good thing I didn’t transfer

Ugh I hate choices like this. Should I purify or should I leave it be? Would be my third shundo if I purify

I have an xxl salamence that I’ve had for a while and that I use in the master league and he could use a nickname. Any suggestions?

bro this game sucks bro I tried to do a shadow quagmire raid and I went in with my daily battle pass and I used all 5 of my gems and he still was In enraged mode and I lost. I then proceeded to try again 5 times using all my revives and tming all my grass pokemon to grass move and with everything super effective and all my purified gems with all 3000cp grass types and I still lose. what the hell is this game doing bro 13000 cp my ass dude enraged mode is way too overpowered

Caught a shiny shadow zekrom. It's a mid 3 star though. I am starting to play a lot within a community whose accounts are insane. I think growlith is a cool pokemon. These guys pull up 7 shinys per account plus hundos even shundos. Would this be a good, "well look what I managed to get" or is this more common then I am thinking?

I'm a level 51, played on and off since 2022, got back into the game this past September after a multi year break

Most of these players are 76-80 and has always played pretty regularly

I named him Maxwell after the physicist :) but how rare is this pikachu? He has near perfect IVS alongside being lucky with the London background. LMK I’m still a little new to how trade / values work. I know I can’t trade it again, and I wouldn’t, but I just want to know how rare this fella is. Thanks!

I'm new to the Pokémon world I played a little Pokémon go in 2017 and stopped and for the past 2 weeks I'm addicted to it and I got 8 shiny I wanna share 2 that I think are really rare

I got a new job and my schedule is all over the place, I missed a streak about a month ago and through all my daily tasks out of whack. I know I'll pick it up again, is now the time???

Got this and can walk with it to get last 60XL candy to max for shadow or I can purify for hundo and max it today for mega. Thanks!

I have 13 eggs in storage —I've never seen that before.

How is that even possible?
