Over the next few days Woolos candy may be your limiting factor so catch all you can and shove pineapples on them so you can make the most of your pink sparkles.

Thanks knotaknitter. That makes sense.

You have to spend them on beefing up your magic sheep when you've got one.

Thank you! I will get busy beefing up my sheep 😆

Knotaknitter · 07/09/2024 15:05

Sheepie pops up when you first get 1000 max particles (pink sparkles) or it doesn't - it did for me but my son didn't get anything. You get a second sheep from Professor Willow's research and then later he gives you a squirrel. You use the max particles and candy to give your dynabeast special moves, you can only earn so many particles in a day and only carry so much at once so you need to be using them so as to be able to collect more.

At the moment it's just about giving them their moves, come Tuesday we'll be able to use them in dynamax raids from which we can get more special beasts. It will cost max particles to raid so after that you'll need to balance spending particles on raiding against spending them on the new moves.

What makes the magic sheep appear? I have one that popped up somehow, but not really sure what triggered it. Should I power that one up or is there a possibility of more better sheep happening along?

I don’t understand the pink sparkles! What the point of them? I got a few and now it says it’s full. 🤷‍♀️

It's quiet in here, are we all out collecting pink sparkles?

@SockQueen are we friends on Pogo? I have spares of all those scatterbugs if you are anywhere near me I’d be happy to trade them to you

Yes, I'm HeleniaBram - I think you are too far away, though I'll let you know if I ever make a trip your way!

You need a friend with two devices, who you trust with your username and password...

I'm slogging through the battle challenges for level 44 at the moment. I don't enjoy battle league much, find it quite stressful, so it's not my favourite.

I'd like to complete my Scatterbug collection - just got Tundra, Ocean and Icy Snow to go.

If you post your trainer code on Twitter with relevant hashtags, you’ll be awash with invites from Japanese players. Most will be elegant, but you should also get some tundra. And without wishing to stereotype, Japanese players are demon gifters and raiders.

It's where you caught/ hatched the Pokémon from that counts towards distance. Eggs from distant friends are the only way to get a decent distance if you don't travel much,as they count as the distance the egg came from.

There probably is a cheat for doing trades remotely as people advertise Pokémon online, but I have no idea how that would actually work!

I thought you couldn't trade unless you are standing right next to the person. Is that wrong?

Yeah, I trade with ds anything that I’ve hatched out of 7k eggs which is how I get the distance. Luckily I have picked up several friends in oz, Hawaii and South Korea who send me gifts daily. I get some gifts from Mexico and Bolivia a couple of times a week too. Having enough incubators is the main problem. I don’t seem to win them in showcases very often but ds wins one from showcases fairly regularly.

I'm pretty rubbish at trading, so pilot is my very lowest placed badge (354/ 10 000 000). There's quite a few where if I keep playing at the current rate it'll be another year or two. Lots I'm not sure if I'll ever get there!

I get impatient sometimes, but I quite like the fact it can't be 'completed' too quickly, if ever.

gillybean2 · 26/08/2024 12:21

How is everyone getting on with their Pogo goals/targets?

I’m finally on the last million miles of my pilot badge (Distance of all Pokemon trades). I reckon I probably need to hatch and trade around 70-100 more 7k eggs to get there…

After that I need to decide if I want to work on training/battle badges or best buddy.
Of the 22 badges I still need to get to platinum 6 are register Pokemon from specific regions which aren’t available and another 2-3 I don’t really have any control over progressing. So only 13-14 I can choose to actually work on.

If anyone needs any company for a mega salamence or a xerneos (or whatever it is - antlers are getting in the way of the name) raid I'd love an invite!

AlmostLegendary · 19/08/2024 23:27

If you're doing go battle league at the moment it's worth bearing in mind that charcadet only needs to be your buddy, not part of your battle team when you beat the types you need. I found I got through them quite quickly.

Tarkan · 16/08/2024 16:33

I FINALLY hatched a Charcadet today. Feels like I've been waiting forever and I've been through SO many eggs.

Woohoo, congrats. Now you just need to walk it forever to get the candy to evolve it. And then decide into which form and hope you can find someone to battle with…. Good luck!

Thanks all!

AlmostLegendary · 13/08/2024 20:24

I'm just getting to one too, can prob do both and get enough mega energy to evolve?
