>>56343508
Wild Lucario has happened during in-person Go Fest events, and you get one for Level 48 special research, but otherwise yeah it's basically raids only.

All baby Pokemon are exclusive to eggs too.
There's a search term "eggsonly" specifically for that.
The exception to that however is that Elekid with the armband, since you have to catch it as part of a research encounter.

Actually, all baby Pokémon have working wild encounters programmed, because you can get them as your buddy then have a wild Zorua spawn in disguised as it.

Baby Pokémon basically not appearing outside of eggs was normal up to a certain point.

Even though Riolu and Lucario were "originally discovered in Sinnoh", they're not found in the wild there (including BD/SP).
You do find them in ancient Hisui though.

The first time Riolu was available naturally in the wild was in Black/White, inside of Challenger Cave.
They were also available in Heart Gold / Soul Silver's Safari Zone, but that isn't a natural habitat as that Safari Zone was entirely manufactured.

Lucario was first available naturally in the Wild in Sun/Moon as an SOS encounter in Poni Grove, and then later as an unconditional wild encounter in Sword/Shield in various places within the Wild Area.
Also in Sun/Moon, you can find wild Pichu in one of the earliest points of the game, and is also how Hau adds one to his team.

Pic related is a wild Zorua disguised as my buddy Shiny Riolu at the time.

We're a very long time past them appearing only in eggs. Some of them were in the wild since the inception. But niantroons only take inspiration from mainline games when it suits them and absolutely never when it benefits the player.
>>
>>56344061
Sadly true.
There's no reason for Mienfoo to be as scarce as it is, but artificial scarcity keeps a game going.

Niantic also seem to give less of a fuck and have started handing out paid/special research with no spiel from Willow.
The Beldum community day paid research was devoid of any insight from Willow, but realistically the vast majority of players were just skipping through the text to get to the next set of research tasks ASAP, because they're working on a 3 hour time limit and just want to get on with it.

It doesn’t help that every character that isn’t covered by Ultra Recon gear looks like a pixar reject. I hate their dialogue and hate how they look, why would I pay attention to the filler text?

The source character designs and illustrations are competent, good even.
It's the 3D modelling that is fucking trash, and whenever Niantic does in-house graphics like that fashion-disaster week.

Nah, I just straight up dislike their style. Bit of a me issue, but I find it all pretty bad.

It has a mid-battle change depending on how hungry it is, it changes between "Full Belly" mode and "Hangry" mode.
It changes the type of its signature mode, Aura Wheel, between being an Electric or Dark type move.

Its introduction is significant because it means Niantic finally have something working for middle-battle changes, for things like Aegislash and it's Blade and Shield formes, or Darmanitan and its Zen mode.

Morpeko's the worst electric rodent IMO, and representative of much of what went wrong with generation VIII.

>>56347401
For whatever reason they decided to release a fraction of Gen VIII, and then give Gen IX the spotlight to promote Scarlet and Violet.

Next season is going to be properly Galar focused because they're introducing Dynamax in some form.
The precise way Dynamix Raids or their equivalents work is not yet known, as well as how Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon work, but data mining has fit a lot of pieces together.

Here’s what happened in the main games: Megas were hard to do. They required work to make a cool, unique mega and only certain pokemon got them. Dynamax is available to every pokemon, it just makes them big and gives them more health with new, stronger attacks and is more temporary than megas. Gigantamax was just megas + Z moves. The few pokemon that get Gigantamax forms change like a mega and they get a new, unique attack.

Dynamaxing is where Pokémon turn into towering giants in special hot spots when exposed to special Dynamax energy. Eternatus is the source of that energy (pic related).
This means you can't just do it anywhere, and the phenomena is exclusive to the Galar region.
Much in the way that mega evolution is a Kalos thing, Z-moves are an Alola thing, Terastallization is a Paldea thing; the effects are all caused by specific legendary Pokémon.

Gigantamaxing is something that only a few species of Pokémon can achieve, where they take on a unique form, and it requires that they have the necessary trait.
Examples include Pikachu, Eevee, Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Butterfree, Machamp, Gengar, Snorlax, Lapras, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon.
What this'll probably mean is that there'll be new chase Pokémon and your already existing Pokémon won't be able to gigantamax; go catch a new Charizard instead of having your existing shiny or hundo do it.

Pretty much only because these two brought some mega stones over, also whilst making you hunt down Zygarde Cells so you can get Zygarde.

Mega stones are made in Kalos, but can be used anywhere as long as the trainer has a mega key stone.

Also if it wasn't abundantly obvious, these things like trainer accessories and Pokémon accessories were made to be toyetic and push lots of plastic toy merch.
>>
>>56347482
Evolution stones exposed to energies from Xerneas or Yveltal produced Mega Stones.

Z-Crystals are shards of Necrozma's body, the trainer wears a Z-ring to let their Pokémon use Z-moves.

Wishing stars are shards of Eternatus' body, they're fashioned into Dynamax Bands that allows their Pokémon to Dynamax when in a hot spot.

Terapagos is assumed to be the source of the tera shards and the crystals in Area Zero, used to make the Tera Orb that holds a charge allowing Pokémon to Terastalize in battle. I couldn't find a hard confirmation of that in a hurry though.

By the way, there's a 19th Pokémon type called the "Stellar Type", exclusive to terastalization.
It's incredibly underwhelming as it only serves to deal super effective damage to anything that's currently terastalized.

My pokemon has been stuck in a gym for six (6) days. The game either needs to give the player an option for it to be returned or at least 50 coins (I’d even take 5 at this point) should be rewarded for a pokemon being in a gym for 24 full hours. Either way, I get punished for playing in a rural area.

Are you completely alone, or is everyone around you the same team?

The gym system is exactly the same as it has been since it was implemented. It needs an overhaul and quality of life improvements.

just like everything else in this game.

-Pokemon return after 9 hours. "your pokemon missed you and returned home." When that happens, you don't have to revive your pokemon and you only have to heal if it got into battles. still get full rewards.
-Gym themes. Either the gym has a theme ("only water types allowed at this gym right now") or your pokemon gets a bonus for having a theme with the other trainers (ex: all eeveeultions or everyone has a costume or they're all ground type)
-No Three Battles. You're not required to battle a pokemon 3 times to knock it out. higher CP = harder fight, lower CP = easier fight. only have to fight everything once to knock it out of a gym.
-Trainer message: you pre-select a message and its displayed if someone taps on your pokemon in a gym ex: "I like shorts!"

>>56347732
for pvp, originally you had to walk to unlock your sets which was met with extreme hostility. After a bit they removed that functionality (with the excuse of covid) and never put it back in for obvious reasons.

Niantic never wanted you to just sit at home playing pvp all day, especially with the reward track, and even moreso back when the encounter had a decent rate of legendary pokemon. Theoretically you could spend all day farming legendary pokemon if you were dedicated enough. We did try and beg niantic to add an unranked mode, but they pretty much told us to go shove it. We also begged them to change the reward track to be more in line with other online games, but that fell on deaf ears, though to their credit the people actually involved with creating and maintaining GBL hate the reward track as well but are forced to leave it in because of decisions from high above (Niantic execs and not TPC mind you.) Almost all of the negative things about GBL are a result of upper level management decisions and not the actual grunts in charge. though the bugs are 100% their fault, since they're too stupid to figure out how to fix them.

Literally not a thing. You can't not "respect" it. The game will not let you do anything if you're on cool down.

And if you're doing it on an alt, it doesn't matter. They don't track you by your phone IP.

>Niantic also seem to give less of a fuck and have started handing out paid/special research with no spiel from Willow.

It is an anti cheat measure, and it used to be much longer than 2 hours, but a lot of legit players flying around the country/world were getting flagged by the system and shadowbanned.

Niantic set it at 2 hours to prevent easy world jetting cheating, but also to not accidently flag legit players. Though if you listen to dumbfuck
>>56349586
>>56349434
Here, he'll tell you that Niantic doesn't keep track of cooldown violations at all. At least he admits the cooldown is a thing now, for three months he used to deny it was even there and you could sprint around the globe catching pokemon without having to wait 2 hours.

>>
>>56349607
It is an anti cheat measure, but it obviously is hard coded into the game.
People have been catching pokemon across multiple different continents in a day and have been doing so for years with no issue.

The problem with spoofing is not "the cooldown", it's things like PGsharp using third party login servers. Which is something that Niantic and easily detect. Which is why people say that the best and safest option is to root your phone and use root-only spoofing tools. As those run locally on your own phone and are not something that Ninatic can see. At least for not, because they are working on making it so it's legal for PoGo to scan all your phone data.

As for this person >>56349628, he's quite literally the most mentally ill person to ever exist. And is for some strange reason consumed with defending PGsharp, even though it's the most well known spoofing tool to result in a ban. And he for some insane reason thinks anyone who points this out is the same person.

Btw, do you need to complete masterwork research in the week it's available? I'm just not sure and you're so smart about things like this I thought you'd know.
>>
>>56350772
Everything on the Special research tab stays forever, no expiration.
They're sometimes more difficult to complete if you don't finish them during their intended event (e.g. take a snapshot of Landorus).
Masterworks research is always special.

If the research is on the Today tab then it's time limited.
Paid research can be time limited, but Masterworks isn't.
Also, special research tied into events like Regional Tour or Go Fest usually update the completion criteria post-event so they're not impossible to complete.

It wasn't always that way, I remember a time when the lower ranks were mostly Master League Premier with lvl. 40 legendaries and times were good then. Now it really is mostly lvl. 45+ legendaries, because they made in-person raids give more candy XL per raid pass. I might give it a try next season now that I have enough excess rare candy XL to get my purified Ho-Oh to lvl. 50, but these past two seasons I've spent most of my time doing Ultra League and cups.
>>
>>56352529
Yeah, frankly I don't have the time to do too many raids but I do feel like you could get up to ranks 1800-1900 without constantly having to deal with 4500CP Kyogre, Mewtwo etc.

I wish there was an ML with a level 40 cap but I know that'll never happen.
>>
>>56352553
>I wish there was an ML with a level 40 cap but I know that'll never happen.
They used to have that back when they first added candy XL to the game (look up Master League Classic), but they retired all the classic cups after two years in favor of more Little Cups and Premier Cups.

Anon, give me the formuoli
>>
>>56353194
you get to rank 20. then tank down to some sub 1k elo rang, say 500-600. When you need to lower your elo you lose 0-5, when you need to win you go 4-1 so you dont go up so fast. this gets you the rare candy, rando drop, and some random poke (with chance of 5 star raid poke) the 5 win doesnt matter unless you absolutely need dust but you will get less rare candy and stuff as you would need to lose series more often

Yes, pgsharp takes place of a play store apk and galaxy store apk can coexist with it. On the app list by default galaxy apk comes first (names and icons are identical).
Campfire may not be compatible though, last time I checked (last year) I couldn't install both
That's assuming you're on android btw
If you use Secure Folder, you can have another copy of each app, meaning you could have four separate pogo's on one device - two normal (galaxy store) and two pgsharp

They technically do a story during the summer, but you only really know about it if you attend one or more GO Fest events, and even then it's pretty shallow. They tend to do season-long research during spring and fall to at least try to keep people interested, but most of the time only the fall research has an actual story.

So I got a 4-star Larvitar from the weekly research thing. Awesome.
But like what do I do now? Do I evolve it now or wait until a community day classic for it?
I despise having time-gated moves. I don't want to be stuck having this perfect Tyranitar that's forever sub-optimal because I evolved it outside of a community day.

I don't imagine it'll get a Community Day Classic anytime soon, considering it already got one the start of last year. Either way, dark-type Tyranitar is the best of all dark-types.
