Yes and no. So, that mod to pokemon go basically does this on the background: clicks on the pokemon and immedeately runs from it to check if it is shiny if it is, it changes the appearance to the shiny version of the pokemon on the overworld. So you basically skip looking at all pokemon in the over world except for the shiny ones, not needing to check any of them.
Basically the difference in encountering pokemon in pokemon Sword & Shield versus pokemon Legends Arceus
Well, two things there. One, evolving a buddy allways resets all, your way to best buddy, as the hearts of the day. The evolved one counts as a new buddy. (at least in my account).
The other, dont want to know how many flyers are there in Sylphroad, the jumping over time-date-line has some side effects, as getting two research stamps with the same date, as well as loosing the 7-day-streak in catching or spinning Pokéstops.
So, maybe in many cases its not a glitch.
That was only the beginning. The longer I play the more friends there are replaced by blacked out silloettes followed by pokemon both caught and wild until the game crashed. When I turn it on again on my old phone it acts normal until the cycle repeats itself.
That’s really weird, seems like a comunication error. Maybe on the next actualizaton of the game would be an idea to desinstall before. Not shure if it helps, but damage it will not make.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled many times on my old phone. It continues to get worse. It’s why I got a new phone. I still use my old one when I need a second phone.
My old phone keeps coming up with nightmare material. Everything runs smoothly on the new phone. No damage to either file.
