I use PokeRaid as app for remote raiding. Once you get used to it, it only takes like a minute to get into a lobby, and in worst case 2 minutes for the raid to start. Only very rarely things don’t go planned but that is always to blame on the host, so you won’t lose anything but a few minutes max.
I’ve done multiple remote raids in a half hour lunch break just for fun this way. Really easy and fast.
Why does bunnelby got to be a potential shiny Pokemon
I just don’t like the Pokemon, nor it’s evolution, not even their shinies. Why not litleo
@Brobraam We are in complete agreement here. I too dislike Bunnelby - mainly for its design aesthetic, which I think is out-of-step with most other Pokémon.
Bunnelby looks like a Warner Bros. Loony Toons character. Others that share this design include Patrat and Torchic - both of which I can forgive as they are ‘stock’ cartoon representations of of a Chipmunk and chick respectively.
But the absolute acme (if you’ll pardon the pun) of this aesthetic is Chimchar - which I find so repellent that I have trouble even clicking on it to shiny check.
He has no earthly reason for being in Pokémon games - and contrary to his fiery nature he just sends cold shivers of disgust down my spine. Brrrrr 
Just finished fighting Giovanni, whose Shadow Moltres got no struggle from my mon, which had no attack button (and never hit back, despite me tapping all over him and the rest of the screen). Is that the new “playing possum” fight strategy?
Revived and rematched… redemption. But that was weird.
Have been a Verizon customer for several years and am somewhat interested in the “special weekend” event coming up (but am very interested in NOT installing another stupid bloatware app, just to get a passcode for the event.)
How special that they called it Verizon Up … since my answer to them is, “Up yours, Verizon.”
Battling my buddy teams isn’t giving buddy hearts today. I’ll have to try rebooting before filing a bug report about it. But I tried three times, the last of which made sure to have my buddy first on both teams (the first two had been using my buddy third on one team).
Your Buddy a lover not a fighter?
It’s my hundo Pangoro; maybe he just doesn’t love to battle? But restarting the game seems to have it getting hearts for battle, so I guess he developed a taste for it.
Was he out on the map?
I’m pretty sure he was; but in all candor, I am not entirely certain.
Why did they have make Sylveon have the 70 heart component for it?
Now I have to interrupt my Goodra Candy and XL farming 
Not really I think. You can collect the hearts from feeding, snapping and petting Eevee and then switch back to Goodra and do the same. I’m not sure if it keeps the buddy progress though, so I may be wrong, but then switching to Eevee is possible once your Buddy Goodra found a Candy (XL).
Edit: it does keep the progress for the candies, but I’m not sure if it also saves the progress for the Hearts earned with your Buddy Eevee.
“but that requires effort…”
Sure thing.
Exactly, it’s the stuffing around swapping back and forth using time I could be catching dust or taking another Gym hunting Rockets or Raids.
Trading already takes 30-60min every time.
Why does it take more than 20-30 seconds? (Or does “every time” mean every day, instead of every trade?)
Every day up to 60min if your doing the full 100 allowed.
That would seem to require a continual turnover of at least 100 on each account each day just to sustain trades, since after just a couple of weeks it would exhaust your entire Pokémon storage space.
I think just the inventory management overhead for that would consume over 2 hours a day for me, plus the time to actually perform the trades, and the time to catch over 100 a day.
What portion of the results get sent to the Professor to turn into candy, about 99%?
Another fine Regi raid just now with 6 players (all but the host were remote). Finished fainting my lead attack team, and when game went into the revive/rejoin lobby sequence, it simply kicked me back to my neighborhood, saying “unable to fetch raid details”. No way to recover from that. Wasted time, wasted pass, wasted revives. Just f’n dandy.
If you can’t continue a raid I’ve already paid to do, I’ll consider the time and revives the cost of taking the chance. But return my pass to me. And that’s something the game can detect itself, without anybody having to report it.
