Shiny new thread.

Our local group had our first socially distant raid t'other day, there were 11 in the lobby and only 3 of us were physically at the gym. The bantz on the message group afterwards was funny though after I introduced them to a new word.

That's the negative side of lockdown, many players are too worried to get within 10m of another. There are some friends I haven't seen in months, and just a few I have seen to have a socially distant chat. Still, mustn't grumble.

I find that the gifts are in my item bag long before my buddy brings them to me. And I only ever get half the number of gifts that fly across the screen in the animation. I've often sent the gifts before I officially revive them - most noticeable when I'm at work and get gifts from a Pokestop the other side of the railway line, and where I haven't been in over a year!

Hello!
I have been adding friends from on here 😁
Does anyone know... My buddy keeps bringing me gifts, but they don't seem to appear in my items bag. I know I can't have more than 20 at any one time, but today I had 6 in my bag, my buddy found me 10, but then I still only had 6 in my bag.
Is this part of the known issue with friends?

Hi Bella, I’ve added you as a friend I’m BehindB1ueEyes x

bellabelly · 18/05/2020 10:53

Thanks Jillandhersprite, that's all very helpful and I'll have a look at YouTube. My main frustration is using up loads of balls and pokemon escaping when I finally catch it!

HoldingForGeneralHugs · 18/05/2020 09:28

I completely missed the event yesterday 🤦‍♀️ we were on an epic walk and i was playing on and off but didnt pay attention the notifications oops!

But i did get a shiny pikachu!

VioletVerity · 18/05/2020 09:02

I really wanted a shiny Carvanha, I used 2 incenses over the time gap but wasn't lucky this time.

I also need one more friend for some special research my code is 8694 1276 6647, I've added people below too.

Hi Bella - I started in October and can still remember how complicated it seemed at the time - and yet now it's like a second language to me and the kids.
Those battles you were doing were with Team Rocket at a pokestops. Other battles you can do are at a gym, a special battle at a gym called a raid, battles with friends and battles with random people in the battle league.
At the start I searched you tube and there are quite a few people doing easy to understand clips.
Also can ask specific stuff here and there's usually someone that knows...

Wongy and all Pokémon friends, thank you I have gone upto Level 31 thanks for all the xp from gift exchanging. Especially for the heads up about putting luck eggs on. I had thought it would take me until May 21 to get to Level 40. I think I will do it by Oct in this rate. I am still struggling to meet uni work deadlines which are due end of the month but after that I will add more friends.

Ooh that's pretty!

PanamaPattie · 17/05/2020 22:03

NoGravyForYou · 17/05/2020 21:57

I caught one. Does anyone know what they look like evolved or am I better off keeping it as is?

WitchSharkadder · 17/05/2020 20:34

Did anyone get shiny Carvanha? I managed 2.

bellabelly · 17/05/2020 20:31

Also, I will add those of you who have posted your trainer numbers - hope that's OK. I have no friends yet and would be delighted if anyone wants to add me as a friend. My number is 8154 3886 9100.

Hi, I have just discovered Pokemon Go and am following this thread with lots of interest as I feel a bit clueless about battles and things. I've done a couple that popped up at pokestops and have managed to win but think it was more luck than judgement! The people were "grunts" and had been stealing from the pokestops. Any advice much appreciated!

Fiddlersgreen · 17/05/2020 15:18

Was there a new timed research today?

HappyPunky · 17/05/2020 15:17

I've been keeping an eye on the gyms near me to use a remote pass on a raid.
I'm hoping they keep the remote passes on because it's much nicer than loitering around.

BaronessBomburst · 17/05/2020 14:57

A banette raid will get you a ghost type too.

jillandhersprite · 17/05/2020 13:55

Well I got a shiny carvanha... But 1 hour of incense and none of them were 3 star and I have my own 'rule' of just evolving 3 stars!!!
Debating whether to waste another hour as I still have another incense in my bag...

WotnoPasta · 17/05/2020 12:07

I lie. A sableye just popped up in my house!

WotnoPasta · 17/05/2020 12:02

I’m stuck waiting for a ghost too. I walked through a load yesterday when I was still on an earlier challenge. Been out this morning, nothing about!

HappyPunky · 17/05/2020 12:00

I raced though the timed research and now I'm stuck waiting for a ghost pokemon on number 7

Olinguito · 17/05/2020 10:44

Thanks @polkadotpixie - I'll open your gift too Smile

AmazingGrace16 · 17/05/2020 07:54

Morning,
I'm rejoining this thread and will add a few if you if that's ok?

I'm 6348 3930 3588

When is the best time to start the timed research? I think I started it to early the last few times

polkadotpixie · 17/05/2020 06:17

@Olinguito 11am today is fine with me too 😊

Olinguito · 16/05/2020 22:40

Great @HighBrows @Deannaamy @Goldenhedgehogs - 11.00am tomorrow (Sunday 17th) it is!

@polkadotpixie @newroundhere I'll wait until community day to open your gifts unless I hear otherwise from you.
