I know, what’s up with that?
Is it treating me like a first time poster as that was my first post since the forum update?

Unbelievable. 
On a separate tack, is there any way to identify xxs or xxl Pokémon from the storage contents listing? The Shadow and Shiny ones can be seen Or do we have to go to the individual mon’s detail screen to see? I might try to collect them if I could easily identiry them when selecting for transfer.
Word blocker. I think we need to check if the post is appropriate whenever the word “spoofing” is used. It was fine in this case though. There are a couple more words too that will have us check if the post is appropriate.
I will probably need to allow myself to post this too.
Edit: apparently not. Interesting…
I see there a problem with this Google sheets… for letting it work, it has to be editable for everyone. And we can’t garantee that there will not come a joking passanger who enters and edits what he want.
I like more the idea all of you send the data as personal message to me, so I’m the only one who receives a lot of messages, and on a regular base I publish the complete table for everyone.
I really hope it doesn’t happen at all. That’s been most of my PoGO play since COVID time. I might as well not play.
The feeling is mutual.
Niantic have made some strange decisions but capping their biggest revenue stream just seems the pinnicle of strange even for them.
The Remote Raiding itself doesn’t even bother me. What does bother me though, is this will result in increased host offers on Poke Genie and less Remote Raiders to join. The entire system already wasn’t too great, but this change will definitely make me lose interest in raiding again. I’m going to wait 40 minutes to even start the raid.
And if Niantic didn’t continuously screw the game there might still have been a player base here to Raid with. Only a few radicals remained and they are not the type of people you want to play this game with.
Niantic started off 2023 so good, then completely flopped with the bugs, and February is the biggest disaster the game has ever seen. And I’m expecting I’ll be saying that continuously throughout the upcoming months too. We should no longer accept their behavior towards their player base.
The Watched Word system has been there for years, actually. But it’s not a big deal, either it doesn’t let you post it or it requires us to look at the post but in both cases it shouldn’t be an issue. Apparently nobody has said a watched word the past few years.
We are able to actually take action for watched words (for example if somebody says printer it would immediately be flagged for spam) but we have decided not to.

I’ve taken a look to the list of controlled words, and… really, I see no reason to to change nothing.
If this words can’t be used here… it doesn’t intefer in our comunication.
Another thing, much more deeper, would be the discussion: what the hell want anybody to educate our way to comunicate.
I saw them a few years ago and pretty much left them the way they were, they are also better off being avoided. In case we do get a conversation about spoofing I’ll allow all posts. The main reason it is a watched word is because we don’t want people to flood the forum with good spoofing locations etc I think it was back then. To be honest I don’t see why it should change especially considering it does nothing but let us check the post first. I’d say that’s perfectly fine.
I’ll dm our dear friend
Or not. I see that Antonio has ben quick to reply
Been watching some Hoenn Tour livestreams and to no surprise it’s indeed as bad as I expected. Easy skip. Might as well stop entirely. The only good event along with GO Fest just got dumbed down so much it’s not even worth it anymore. Niantic completely massacred the game.
Could someone please invite me to a raquaza raid?
Update: thanks for inviting me to raids but it keeps saying that the lobby is full on everyone of the raids I’ve been invited to.
I’ll try!
I’ll not be doing any Rayquaza raids, sorry.
Is anyone else having trouble finding latias when it’s on the map
After doing a little bit of Research I can say the following about the shiny rates (not confirmed and may still be wrong):
Legendary Rate (estimated 1/20):
- Kyogre
- Rayquaza
- Groudon
- Latios
- Latias
- Deoxys
Regardless of the Tour Version chosen.
Permaboosted rate (estimated 1/64):
- Feebas
- Absol
- Mawile
- Nincada
- Pichu
- Igglybuff
- Wynaut
- Azurill
- Medicham
- Banette
- Clamperl
Medium boosted rate (estimated 1/150):
- Plusle (boosted)
- Minun (boosted)
- Solrock (boosted)
- Lunatone (boosted)
- Trapinch (boosted)
- Wailmer (boosted)
- Sunny Castform (boosted)
- Rainy Castform (boosted)
These Pokemon will return to the usual event once Hoenn Tour ends.
Regardless of the Version chosen.
There is a chance these might have all used the Permaboosted rate.
Other Pokemon that appear to be boosted but the rate is unclear:
- Sableye
- Pikachu (both forms)
- Shedinja
- Relicanth (likely Legendary rate or Research Day rate)
- Tropius (likely Legendary rate or Research Day rate)
- Torkoal (likely Legendary rate or Research Day rate)
- Gulpin (only for Trainers who chose the Gulpin path)
- Surskit (only for Trainers who chose the Surskit path)
- Cacnea (only for trainers who chose the Cacnea path)
The other two will be full odds.
Pokemon that could be boosted:
- Duskull
- Kecleon
- Shuppet, I haven’t seen anybody get this though.
Pokemon that are NOT boosted for Hoenn Tour 2023 aka full odds rate (estimated 1/500):
- Aron
- Treecko
- Lileep

- Spheal
- Zigzagoon
- Chimecho
- Zangoose
- Mudkip
- Anorith
- Nosepass
- Lotad

- Seviper
- Torchic
- Corphish
- Luvdisc
- Makuhita
- Wurmple

- Roselia
- Seedot
- Electrike

- Unown O
- Unown E
- Unown N

- Skitty
- Poochyena
- Wingull
