General Chat - How do some people already have certain pokemon

Damn, that didn’t take long. I didn’t want to advertise for the site but you even figured out the city. I assume you’re from Oss aswell? Your name rings a bell…

Nah, Breda. I just recognized the street as dutch so i looked it up on google maps :stuck_out_tongue:

Maps for raid info are sweet. Pogo is real close with maps. If you have a mon in a gym and a raid happens there, you can see it. Idk how it works if you have more then 9 gyms mon’d. Tracker maps are only for desperate/last min resort times imo. Gym maps for raid info in a 30 mile radius would be the best(we are kinda rural)

There are huge debates that keep bubbling up in our PoGo communities about trackers & scanners & the difference between legit players using those & spoofers / botters (let’s not get into that debate here again).
But lots of people have Facebook chats, Discord channels, maps, scanners & peer groups who freely provide the whereabouts of perfect & good IV mons.
One guy at my work recently joined a messenger chat that posts exclusively 100% mons & in a week he went from less than 10 to over 50. I personally don’t see the point in his case because he has no stardust & now has an army of 100% mons that he’ll effectively never be able to do anything with :joy::rofl:
Play how you want to play, just don’t disadvantage others. I honestly don’t think having those tanks / meta Pokémon in gyms within 48hrs of them being released really impacts people that much now aside from putting a silouhette in your dex for a while.

100IV Mons reported in these chats often have level 35, sooooo stardust isnt needed

We have a map in my area so it’s easy if you have a car. I use it to track raids and specific pokémon but sometimes I just find hot spawns. At one park before the gen3 spawn nerf I got 3 ralts during one hunt. On 2 separater days ralts spawned twice at traffic stops. Pinapping everything hot is critical. Oh and I just by chance of again being in the right place at the right time a perfect IV weather boosted wailmer spawned up. We. Lost. Our. Minds. I woke up one early morning and was greeted by a high CP torchic with an even higher IV.

You just have to hunt man. If you hunt you will be rewarded.

Then there’s spoofing… SMH

Hopefully the game will improve for all…

Everybody can spoof for f*cks sake, stop spamming every single topic with your nonsense

some people spoof, which is just stupid to me, whilst others have tons of rare candies and dust. so if you hatch a 98% ralts that’s like 20 to 30 candies right there. throw in some rare candies, dust and bam. you’ve got your gardevoir. oh and a lot of people use trackers which is seen as being just as bad as spoofing but I don’t think so. spoofing is what bothers me. using a tracking map somewhat lessens the experience but I think it’s OK.

Trackers are just as much cheating as spoofing tho

No they’re not. To Niantic cheating is cheating but to the community spoofing is the lowest form of cheating since it gives you the power to be anywhere, anytime.

To Niantic its exactly the same, and with trackers you cant help other at raids
Tell me, dont you use trackers? Would explain why you are trying to justify them so hard

@Necrozmadabest Stop being so argumentative & try contributing with a little more positivity in the forum. If you’re young, grow up, if you’re older you should know better.

Alright, sorry, I just dont understand how can one people bash spoofing so much yet freerly use trackers

As someone who has used a tracker in the past, I can kind of see the point. For example in my town many of the good spawns are not near Pokestops so a tracker is useful to know whether it is worth it.

I am not against spoofing as long as it does not directly influence other legitimate players. As long as you don’t mess with the gyms.

Yeah I use them but I’m not justifying their use. Even if I didn’t use them I’d still say there’s a difference. Yes it’s still cheating but clearly a spoofer is much more of a threat than a bot that’s purpose is to scan. But let’s just drop it because we won’t see eye to eye on the subject.

If you grind the game like crazy and have a map that helps. That is what I do and it pays off for completists like myself. For example yesterday I grinded and rode around for 5 hours and evolved a metagross only hours after this recent group was dropped.

I have two Wailords with one being perfect IV,

6 walrien, 3 milotec, 1 perfect feebas with about 80 candies, 4 Gardevoir with one being perfect. It is doable youjust have to grind, find nests and maps help.

I agree

That Metagross looks almost fake, they couldve done better job implementing his model into PoGo

I still love it though.
