Routine Sparkles Pokémon Go

[ISaySteadyOn]

New thread. No routes where I am. We're going to be at Pokémon Go Fest on 6 August. V excited.

No shiny rayquaza for me either, but tbh I am just happy to have multiple rayquaza. Did get a 3 ⭐ shiny Snorlax though!

I don't know about you all but I'm having many issues with routes and how to do it. If I'm inadvertently directly on where a route starts then it's ok but otherwise I can't see the flags and I can't see how to get to where the route is in relation to me.

I also can't scroll down to see more than a couple of routes in the routes list, even if it lists more than those I can see.

Yeah I can't see where routes are if they're not super close to me and even then I can't see them fully. There are some that start near my house and I just want to see where they go but it craps out on me every time.

I've only done one route over and over because I know it's one I can manage the walk for, although now I can make some I'm going to try and do others I know I can manage and hope they get accepted.

This is my opinion at the mo -

Make your routes into a lot of short routes, I mean, like, between one gym and the next nearest gym. You can always then add one on to make the next stage of your imagined walk people might enjoy.

This is because we have 'follow three routes' challenge, and we might well get something like that again in future. So personally I think very short ones are useful. Your having mobility problems will help you make these useful routes.

Someone has done one 'Grand Tour of Birmingham City Centre' or something, which I'm sure is a lovely 1hr 40 mins of Pokemon, but not that useful if we have a challenge to do a certain number of them.

I'm really sorry to all those I was due to level up with on Sunday (I'm Cobbblers). I ended up in a&e on Sunday so apart from a quick play while I was waiting the whole event passed me by!
Would anyone like to coordinate lucky eggs for another time?

Sorry to hear that @Brassymess.
we had a great few days doing local raids and got a couple of shineys to show for it! Anyone know what the next event is? Thanks to all those who befriended me!

Lucky rate when trading seemed higher than usual yesterday evening and today around 12-1am. 14 out of 100 trades today were luckies. Just thought I'd let you know in case it's still going on.😀 Ah apparently it's a thing https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/14zcrwk/lucky_rates_7th_anniversary_party_silph_research/

I don't know if it's happening for this current event, but it definitely seems like it.

Thanks this sounds like what I was considering doing, although I never thought of lots of little ones like that.

I'm tempted to do a "pub crawl" one since I know even on a bad weather day I can rest at each end. Whether it would be accepted or not I don't know though.

I don't see why it wouldn't be accepted, and I'm sure everyone would appreciate those routes. Apparently the minimum distance they will allow is technically 500 metres unfortunately, but best to make it 550 to be on the safe side.

Thank you! That's good to know about the distances. I can always go past a few in one go when setting it up then when I'm playing later I can pause when I need a rest. 😁

You may already know this but if you pin it and then unpin it straight away before opening the gift, it still counts towards the scatterbugs.

That way you can only leave the ones you actually want to keep pinned.

The route set up isn't great. There are none near where I live. There are some near my office but it is really hard to figure out where they are as the map doesn't show street names or where the route is from where you are! I've managed to do two more by luck than anything else.

Yep there's one called 'Library to Pigeon Park' and I just happened to be in the right place for that the other week. Also a good one because it's obvious where the start and end point are.

Has Niantic changed something about how you see which of your Pokémon are in gyms? Because when I do my usual scroll to feed them berries, I don't see anything. And I know I have one in a gym because I can see her right there in the gym at the bottom of my street.

I lost the gym view earkier today too but it's back again now.

Hiya, I just added friends using the trainer codes that were in the thread, I'm Queen Tweeze!

And will send Aussie postcards.. 😁

There won't be many gifts coming out from me for a while, so sorry folks. I've got Covid and I'm stuck in the house without any pokestops near me. 😭 There's a small spawn point on my street so I'm still able to catch Pokémon at least so that's something.

My gifts got a bit samey when I had covid, the other week - just the same few pokestops close to my house.

I live close to somewhere with an unusual place name so try to always have a few gifts from there in my bag!

Could you add me please? I like Aussie postcards.

I actually just like seeing who you all have as your buddies. 🙂

@ISaySteadyOn - hope you like your postcard!

Thank you! I am going to have to go more places to send everyone more interesting postcards!

I'd love a couple of Aussie postcards if poss please. I don't want to put my code in the main thread because I've already got a borderline unmanageable number of friends but have PM'd you.

Thanks for all the new friends! I’m really enjoying all the postcards from different locations. Mine seem very boring!
