Here's shiny new thread! Anyone got a golden razz?

Don't forget that one of the bonuses for the pikachu go pass is extra transfer candy and candy XL, so try to hold off transfers of anything nice until you're at that stage, if you can.

I probably spent more on incubators and storage upgrades on both accounts than I would have spent had I had to pay for go fest tickets Plus I don’t feel quite do aggrieved at the thought of paying out for the Glimmers of Gratitude special research next week as I would of if I’d paid for go fest tickets.
I guess they figured that perhaps people spend more overall when they haven’t shelled out on a ticket x how ever many kids/family members they have wanting a ticket.

I do feel like the ‘value’ of my previously caught unown Pokemon has diminishes somewhat with the unowns being so numerous. But I guess it means I can dump a load I’ve been hanging onto for years from Paris, London, Montreal, Dortmund and other events.

I’m looking forward to having some special research to work on again. I also used my bottle cap on my very poor stats Zeraora so I’ve got quite a bit of hyper trading to work on too.

I am just happy I finally have a balloon Pikachu. I am easily pleased when it comes to Pokémon 😄.

Wurz · 16/07/2026 13:21

I am a big fan of costume Pokémon so this event has been great. Maybe I've been lucky or the shiny rate is decent too

PickAChew · 16/07/2026 13:59

Yep. Had a few shines.

Tarkan · 16/07/2026 14:35

My shiny rate has been horrendous. Got a Lillipup and Pikachu today which are my first since Saturday though so hopefully it’s improving.

VeryNearlyLegendary · 17/07/2026 21:23

@BrioLover are you still here? Happy to remote trade but wouldn't mind waiting for lucky unless you're in a rush?

I've got a couple of shiny pikachus, even as event ones I'm failing to be excited by them, very over pikachu in all forms. I have my platinum medal now and want to move on...

ISaySteadyOn · 19/07/2026 12:33

I am going to be out of action for a bit as I have family visiting this week so not too much PoGo opportunity.

Bickybics · 19/07/2026 13:13

I’m still playing but I can’t level up because I don’t have enough platinum medals, same with the next level. I never paid attention to them. The easiest way is if I could catch a few missing Pokémon but that’s impossible!

What do you need? I have spares of most things to trade and I’m sure others will if you let us know what you need.

Are there any other medals you are close to? Try and work with a friend if you can. I save all my tiny rattatas for a friend and trade them to him whenever we bump into each other.

Chip away as much as you can at them. Mega evolve daily, build up friendship levels and interact with your buddy daily too.
Good luck 🤞

Bickybics · 20/07/2026 13:24

A torkoal and klefki would give me 2 medals.
i haven’t even got the one for battling grunts yet, I stopped battling them a few years ago stupidly as it annoyed me.
im trying to do party play on a temperamental old phone, no one else plays in real life to me anymore.

PickAChew · 20/07/2026 13:31

Oh, I'm way off all the rocket ones, @Bickybics - I go through phases, too. Many of the raid ones are still a work in progress, too.

Wurz · 20/07/2026 13:53

I've got lots of Klefki to trade and have Torkoal. I get confused with who is who so not sure if we're friends or close to trade level? I'm WurzelPerry

You can get Klefki in the UK by the way in the south east as they pretty much drew a square around France. This may or may not be useful depending where you are!

gillybean2 · 20/07/2026 14:05

I also have both those to trade. We’re 31 days off remote trade but I’ll try and invite you to my social group this week.

Bickybics · 20/07/2026 14:13

I don’t think we are friends Wurz. I’m in the north east, thsts not fair!

Wurz · 20/07/2026 14:16

I'm 202345032393 although expect you'll get those sooner from someone else it's always nice to have more MN friends

Anyone else is welcome to add me also

gillybean2 · 20/07/2026 14:18

We got klefki at Go Ape near Tunbridge Wells. If you’re heading south for any reason it’s worth a detour.

Bickybics · 20/07/2026 14:30

Only London these days.

Does your trainer name start with a colour? You're near me and I think we're friends. I have a torkoal spare, I think. Just the one measly Klefki, though.

Bickybics · 20/07/2026 15:24

Yes but I’m in Teesside - I think you’re Newcastle ish aren’t you?

@gillybean2 we have just gone forever friends! I'm very aware that I have much less stuff that you're likely to be interested in, please let me know what you'd like from my relatively small collection!

pottypotamus · 25/07/2026 04:05

Anyone notice their daily go pass tasks completing without having actually caught any pokemon that day? 🤨

Also I’ve noticed a huge reduction in the number of spawns at home yesterday. Suddenly it has gone from 3-4 spawns an hour to nothing all day, apart from first spawn of the day.

PickAChew · 25/07/2026 08:49

Yep, they've done another crappy spawn point update.

I’ve selected some I need for my lucky dex. If there’s anything you’re particularly after that’s not flagged for trading let me know as I may have it.

I am slowly getting my lucky dex filled but a few I’m after for anyone I’m close to remote trading with include:
Buneary, tympole, solosis, ducklett, frillish, cubchoo, cryogonal, durant, clauncher, tyrunt, amaura, pumpkaboo, rockruff, fomantis, orangaru, bruxish, clobbopus, wyrdeer, tarountula,
