Lets talk - (anything)

@vorgriff3 You have to write only XXS or XXL as search-text and it works

I see there a problem with this Google sheetsā€¦ for letting it work, it has to be editable for everyone. And we canā€™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 Iā€™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 doesnā€™t happen at all. Thatā€™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 doesnā€™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 wasnā€™t too great, but this change will definitely make me lose interest in raiding again. Iā€™m going to wait 40 minutes to even start the raid.

And if Niantic didnā€™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 Iā€™m expecting Iā€™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 itā€™s not a big deal, either it doesnā€™t let you post it or it requires us to look at the post but in both cases it shouldnā€™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.

Iā€™ve taken a look to the list of controlled words, andā€¦ really, I see no reason to to change nothing.
If this words canā€™t be used hereā€¦ it doesnā€™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 Iā€™ll allow all posts. The main reason it is a watched word is because we donā€™t want people to flood the forum with good spoofing locations etc I think it was back then. To be honest I donā€™t see why it should change especially considering it does nothing but let us check the post first. Iā€™d say thatā€™s perfectly fine.

Iā€™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 itā€™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 itā€™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 Iā€™ve been invited to.

Iā€™ll try!

Iā€™ll not be doing any Rayquaza raids, sorry.

Is anyone else having trouble finding latias when itā€™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 havenā€™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
  • Snorunt
  • Spheal
  • Zigzagoon
  • Chimecho
  • Zangoose
  • Mudkip
  • Anorith
  • Nosepass
  • Lotad
  • Meditite
  • Seviper
  • Torchic
  • Corphish
  • Luvdisc
  • Makuhita
  • Wurmple
  • Swablu
  • Roselia
  • Seedot
  • Electrike
  • Numel
  • Beldum
  • Bagon
  • Ralts
  • Baltoy
  • Barboach
  • Taillow
  • Carvanha
  • Unown H
  • Unown O
  • Unown E
  • Unown N
  • Slakoth
  • Skitty
  • Poochyena
  • Wingull
  • Whismur
  • Shroomish

So we can conclude with 95% conidence that 15 out of 78 featured Pokemon have gotten a shiny boost. Thatā€™s only 1/5 of the total featured Pokemon.

What happens to this Latios? Seems they have pushed up the flee-rate.

And on the two shinies I found I have needed in both cases about 50 PokƩballs, using berries and excellent throws.

Yes they were ridiculously hard to catch. Only caught one regular Latios and got my Shiny in the first ball surprisingly.
