Shiny new thread

Nice Machamp, Baroness

And nice one for Sneaky & Cookie too. A very good PoGo day all round

Close the game Completely. That's what people on the silph Road are finding they need to do.

Hurrah well done Cookie

Hakuna I'm going to do the egg / gift thing now. Hope you see this

Cp101 were going ultra today- I’m Betty frogg did you want to coordinate?

Thanks for all the adds everyone. I've tried to send gifts to as many as I can before I run out! I bus to work and back so usually get a few pokestops on the way :)

Has anyone caught a Ditto? Can it literally be ANY pokemon that's around?

Dittos are usually

Is BrieLane still around? We're due for best friends tomorrow so trying to find out if you'd like to coordinate. Let me know your oeuf preference!

@dragonsteeth we go ultra when you open the gift I sent. Did you want to coordinate eggs?

Can I ask what all this coordinating with eggs and best friend status is about? Sorry if it's a silly question or explained previously

If you have a lucky egg on you get double Xp handy for levelling 😁

Folks, have anyone else's friends disappeared from the app? I'm bereft!

Has anyone caught a Ditto? Can it literally be ANY pokemon that's around?

Tinkerbellisnotafairy No. Ditto can only be a select number of Pokemon, and those Pokemon are:

• Pidgey
• Ratatta
• Zubat
• Ghastly
• Sentret
• Yanma
• Hoothoot
• Zigzagoon
• Whismur
• Gulpin
• Mankey
• Remoraid

Your best chance to find a Ditto is to click on and catch all the Pokemon listed above. It is crucial that you catch them, as you will only know after you’ve caught them if they’re a Ditto.

Can I ask what all this coordinating with eggs and best friend status is about?

Once a day when you interact with a friend (opening gifts, battling with them, raiding with them or trading with them), your friendship level increases. There are four friendship levels and you earn XP when you gain a new level. Here are the levels and their respective XPs:

• Good Friends (1 Day): 3,000 XP
• Great Friends (7 Days): 10,000 XP
• Ultra Friends (30 Days): 50,000 XP
• Best Friends (90 Days): 100,000 XP

Along with XP bonuses you also get trading discounts and extra balls during raids for each level.

If you put a lucky egg on when you are about to hit the next level, you will get double the amount of XP. So you can get 200,000 XP for turning best friends with a lucky egg.

If you have a blue background around your friend, it means you have interacted that day. If it says 1 day till great/ultra/best friends, if it is blue you know you will turn that level tomorrow; if there is no blue background then when you interact today you will hit the next level.

Whichever friend starts the interaction (ie. opens the gift) will trigger the status for both parties and receive the XP, so if you don’t co-ordinate eggs only the person who triggered it will receive the double XP if they have an egg on*.

• If you know the other person has triggered it and you’re very quick, when you next open the game you have a few seconds to try and put a lucky egg on to get the double XP, but it doesn’t always work.

dillite Maybe. Have a look at this.

If PrincessHFluffy is still around on here, sorry!

I just accidentally opened a gift from you and triggered best friends (frisbyrat).

I'm hoping you're not running PoGo right now; if not, crack a lucky egg as soon as you next start up the game, and you should still get your double xp.

I caught a Ditto as a pidgey then used it in a gym battle against DP. it was fun!

I've been checking out pokestops on pokemongomap.info and it's closed! I'm mainly in suburbia at the moment so it's been handy for finding stops when visiting friends etc.

Is anyone in a raiding group? I'm a bit curious about the etiquette - do you just stand around on your phones?
Also, do raiding groups buy premium passes or similar? A group did a raiding walk on Saturday and hit about 20 gyms to get all the Gengars but I'm not sure how they managed to get so many passes!

Thanks

Is anyone in a raiding group? I'm a bit curious about the etiquette - do you just stand around on your phones?

JuniLoolaPalooza Yes, I’m in a raid group. I’m one of the original members from the first day it was set up. We’re all good friends now and have a lot of history together (as we’ve spent so many raids, community days, raid days etc. together).

We communicate via WhatsApp, so when someone sees a raid they’d like to do they screenshot it into the group and then whoever wants to join says so and a time to meet is agreed. Then we all chat and do the raid together.

A lot of raid group members and certainly the more hardcore players buy a lot of boxes and end up with a surplus of passes way before the raid days even come round. I think I have 50+ premium raid passes just because they were in boxes I bought (and I raid several times a week as well so it’s not like they’re rarely used).

Ah, thanks for the info wailmer. There's a really busy group where I live, and separate raiding groups for the areas of the city via Facebook. They do the screenshot thing like you said. I'd be turning up with my buggy so was curious about how it all works. It's been a nice thing to do on maternity leave, I've definitely saved a lot of money!

JuniLoolaPalooza We have a few parents in our group who often bring their babies or young kids to raids

I’m a member of my local Discord and while I don’t usually join in groups, some people raid from their car and some bring kids in the back seat (often also playing).
