Turns out I forgot two of these even weren’t caught from Raids either but from the Research Breakthrough halfway through, which makes the odds fall out even worse. My standard shiny rate for Legendaries from raids is 1/35.8 still. Only the 1/27.8 is actually lower.
Just another kick in the guts playing as my pathetic Trainer.
Been a long time since I’ve get mine and a family acct get Lucky Friends status. Go and do the Lucky Trade choosing a Giratina for a Landorus.
My Gira gets the worst possible stats of 12 12 12 so goes straight to the Professor while the other acct gets a 100%.
I desperately need more Pokemon storage. And not just 50 Niantic promised to give us for the Hoenn Tour. 300 will do.

Just counted, my local harbour has 74 stops on my usual route, I did all but one because I couldn’t find it after I deleted it anymore, so ended with 4/73 or 1 in 18.25, which comes to no surprise because I’m always below odds and yet somehow I’m always considered “lucky” (
) but I did get four wild shinies, though none I wanted despite the great spawns this event featured and three of those weren’t even part of the event at all either. Hopefully next time the Research Day won’t feature any wild spawns so I can focus solely on the Research instead of wild shinies I’m just unable to get anyway despite the chances being so good. After about an hour I started focusing on mainly those spawns, meaning I could’ve spent two more hours travelling through the city doing more Research rather than wasting my time on the wild spawns.
Let’s just keep it at I didn’t feel rewarded for the efforts and Research Days combined with extra stuff don’t really work either.
Was there some special event on? Did I miss something?
Luvdisc research day, I did zero and got zero
Since there is a limit on the number of postcards stored in the postcard book, hope we will get a “select all” button one day to select and delete all at one time
I was deleting one by one, until I detected that you can select several as in the Pokémon storage, tapping the first longer time and after adding all others.
There was a Luvdisc Research Day yesterday, but you didn’t miss anything basically.
Yeah, I am aware of this, select and hold the first postcard you want to delete, and then select the rest of postcards. But it brought up another issue, when you scroll up or down to select more, you can easily unselect the one postcard where you tap your phone screen to scroll up or down.

Just finished 3 tier-5 raids with 2 guys, and neither of them got any rare candy in all 3 raids. Ain’t that a kicker. 
Why do both of our logs (the one under “Journal” and the other under “News / Notifications”) omit raid invitations? The only time I know when somebody invited me is when I am playing when they come in (and they show in real time or after I finish gifting or bag-sorting or mon-catching, etc, and return to the game’s main screen), or when my game is off and the PoGO notifiications show with other system notifications.
Clearly a conscious decision was made to leave these out. What was the reason for that choice? It’s not as if it’s less important than everything else that DOES go to the logs – like having a friend pin a postcard from a gift that I sent…
It’s actually pretty disturbing that we can’t see past Raid invitations. Numerous times already I’ve seen the Nearby menu orange then quickly turn white after I haven’t been active on the main menu with the map visible and it always leaves me wonder who invited me and what I was invited for. I wish there was a way to see that back.

So I chose ruby on my main and sapphire on my alt. Got the medal on each of them. But nothing else is happening. If I click on the ticket, it tells me the event is from Feb 17 to Feb 26 and asks if I want to put it on my calendar. I said yes for the hell of it, and still nothing happens. It claims the event will automatically start; but today is already past the start date, and still nothing happens. Before I click on the ticket, it says the event is from Dec 10 to 11 in 2022; but today is already past BOTH those dates, and still nothing happens…

It’d be great if Niantic finally clarified what to expect for Hoenn Tour global version. I actually have something else to do on Saturday and want to know if I should cancel that or not. At this point the global Hoenn Tour doesn’t seem interesting in the slightest (Raids are ridiculous, spawns seem not to be shiny boosted, I don’t see why I should be bothered to be honest…) but I also don’t want to figure out it actually was pretty good afterwards.
Also can’t help but laugh about how bad they planned the Las Vegas one, I’m sorry to all who flew all the way to Las Vegas only to encounter this bloody mess, but Niantic absolutely deserved it. They should’ve never returned to the in-person experience format. Niantic probably learnt that now.

I don’t think they have capacity to learn anything. They only know to look how much money enters in their accounts.

The weird thing is they don’t even benefit from doing this themselves. I am aware that they expect to make up the loss of money from not selling Tickets by making it more expensive to do Raids and hatch eggs compared to the Ticketed bonuses, but who’s going to Raid more if they don’t try to make it interesting? Who’s going to hatch more Eggs when there is basically no reason to walk around and when the regionals aren’t even shiny boosted? I myself initially planned on using all Incubators I had saved for this event, and buy like 10 more for 30 more hatches, but I don’t see why I should even do that anymore. There’s always people that will go crazy on these things, but I can ensure they’ll make a lot less money compared to previous years simply by the fact they just dumbed down the global event so much. I even doubt both Hoenn Tour events combined will make even 50% of the money they earned for previous GO Tour events. The entire decision is strange.

What’s even stranger is the discussion that they are planing to cap how many Remote Raids can be done a day. I’m fairly confident Remote Raid Passes are their biggest money earner.

That Remote Raid Cap Number is rumoured to be 6 as well as the cost raising from 100 to 150 coins.
What will the whales that spend big $$$ chasing XP and 100% do now?
My guess is if they aren’t already there will be an increase in Spoofing (GPS cheating) although that would be slower than The Ex Pass way.
Some of the whale might just abandon the game al together and find some other game to drop their disposable income on.
Niantics thinking seems stranger than what’s normal for them lately.
So many Hitmontops from the Timed Research and no 100% or Shiny.
Dud Trainer strikes again.
