Then why not try to make a good submission instead of making half-assed one?

>>58278688
Hey, I tried hard on it. It's a flag pole attached to a tree in front of someone's driveway. But it's a permanent fixture and I wrote it as if it's just proudly displayed on a tree in the street. I also took the picture so you can't see any houses or mailboxes and you can also see how you can easily walk to it. I don't think I can present it much better. Besides that, I have one very good submission I tried hard on but it's still in queue. If that fails I will be screaming about waytroons.

>>58278696
I don't think the pictures are what will get you rejected (in this and most cases). Waytroons have a very specific fixation on the retarded shit you gotta write. Embellish the SHIT out of your title, description and complimentary comment (none of that "please I need the stops" gay shit). Try different things and hope one sticks, for example, mention that the flag pole place is where neighbours rendezvous for meetings or that it's a famous place in the community because xyz.

>>58278724
I did that with my other submission. It's already too late to alter this one. Still it's been in review for a fuck long time. I've gotten quicker rejections than this. But I'm still expecting a rejection.

This retarded bird has been carrying me in PVP

What’s the best way to shiny hunt the galarian birds?
I’ve got the roar of time
I’ve got the dialga candies
Do I try and do long walks during the time where there are no event spawns to shit up my DAI spawns?
Do I wait for the atmosphere to allign with windy weather to ‘boost’ the chances of them showing up? I guess I could do that with cloudy weather for zapdos but foggy weather for moltres? I’ve only seen foggy weather twice, ever
Do I try to wait for an opportune moment to combine both of these circumstances for better chances, or does it really not matter?
Should I just find a decent routine day-to-day and try my luck forevermore?
The idea of walking for 1-2 hours uninterrupted just for this sounds crazy but maybe if I was passengerfagging on a train or roadtrip it would be okay as long as I disengaged the speed lock if I actually got something
These birds popped up more often to me before they were shiny unlocked, but since then they’ve barely appeared at all
…They should really just put them in raids already.

How to win showcases?
Every single time I enter a showcase, I lose. I'm always 30th or so. Is there any skill involved or is it just hoping to get lucky?
>>58282113
How does one 'disengage the speed lock'?

>>58282127
Lets say you are a passenger in a car.
You put on the DAI because it’s easy to produce spawns while doing nothing.
In the event that you do spawn a shiny, there are two options:
You can try and catch the shiny while the car is going like 40mph or something and have the speed lock take over and make the shiny flee, or you can stay on the encounter screen until you slow down enough, or make a complete stop somewhere after awhile, thus not activating the speed lock and assuring your shiny. The equivalent to doing this on a train would be waiting until it reaches a stop or your stop, and giving the game enough time to register that you slowed down enough.

>>58282127
Find a place with a show case that people don’t go to as much. Hiking trails are pretty good. You can enter them with a shitter and switch it to something better you find if you aren’t still first.

>>58279882
>>58280163
It apparently really doesn't need public access.
It just can't be on a private residence.

Saturday me and the boys went out hunting for Groundons. I was driving and they gave me directions. The three of us weren't strong enough so we used pokegenie. Pokegenie was really fast, so we could have 2 queues running and almost always instantly do a raid when we reached a Groundon. I think it's just because it was a really popular raid.

It was a lot of fun. But they both got two shinys while I got none.
I went out to get 4 more yesterday but still no shinys. I think that's 12 in total. Pretty shitty luck.

I did purify one into a hundo and gave it Precipice Blades. So once I've got the primal energy it'll be my first perfect in type attacker.

>>58282154
I've been doing that and there's always that one guy who shows up

>>58282376
GG on the hundo, anon.

Guess I should go get some dynamax chanseys and invest in them
Will anything ever surpass dynamax Blissey as a tank in any way?

>>58282378
As a tank. Yes. Anything with resistance. Zamazenta in particular too. But as a healer? I don't think so.
Healing is a really easy way to be impactful, but damage is better.
Healing is only

>>58282378
There are very few alternatives that beat it. It's relatively cheap to power up and it has insane HP which means that you can use it as both a healer and as a guard user.
It won't ever get outclassed as a healer, but there are a few other mons that beat Chansey as tanks. Zamazenta has a passive that gives it an extra shield when starting a max battle (so it's the best guard mon) and there's also Latias, which is pretty bulky and good for when the Mon you're fighting is fighting type.
Overall, having a Blissey with both Spirits and Guard maxed is a 10/10 investment if you wanna get into Max battles.

>>58282113
Best way is to find a new route and walk it in windy weather with no event spawns in the pool. New routes gives double spawns. Reddit thinks certain environments give higher spawns (lakws, water, whatever) but I’ve seen no actual proof besides one guy’s anecdote about walking around a lake. Windy is the best. You just gotta keep at it, 15 or 30 min a day.

upgrade is only useful for a slam dunk no brainer nomination that you need fast acceptance

>>58284840
nice to be mega

>>58284858
Quick notes:
Keep 3 star if you want it to attack raids or gyms or dynamax
0-3 attack, 13-15 def/hp for pvp
15/15/15 for master league pvp
there’s exceptions but that’s a general rule

1.17 MB PNG

>>58284858
pvpoke and pokegenie
try not to overthink the iv unless you are grinding past ace rank
3star \ 2star \ 1star etc are basically meaningless as:
you can transfer to a main-series game and bottlecap\hypertrain
you can bottlecap within pogo (maybe even more often soon)
you will only see a noticeable difference in v high tier competitive pvp & even then its a margin of around 4-8% depending on the swing (nearly negligible, unless facing mirrors)

just play with your favorites \ shiny
try to make it, dare i say it, FUN.

So what’s the strategy with the superhard dynamax raid bosses anyway? Do I just invest in two blisseys and someone that’s just an attacker for the situation, or one blissey and two attackers?

>>58284871
>>58284888
appreciate the tips.

>>58284924
Just one attacker.
You use your tank to fill the gauge, swap when you get the prompt to dynameme, then instantly swap back once the dmax is over. Your attacker shouldn't be receiving any damage at all, and thus you only need one.

>>58284924
two dogs + switch to attacker

>>58284924
Blissey/dog +attacker/dog + backup tank/pokemon you're leaving behind

>>58284810
>or something you know your locals would reject
>slam dunk no brainer nomination that you need fast
This just makes it more confusing for me to decide.

>>58285010
You can do it both ways. Submit it without the upgrade, see if it gets accepted. If it doesn't use the upgrade and see if it gets accepted then.

>>58285040
So basically, expect to have to submit the same nomination over and over again before it sticks? Well I can't say I'm surprised.

>>58285050
Anon, read the threads. That's unironically one of the best strategies to get your stops. If your stop is legitimate and it's not getting accepted because of waytroons, your only and best option is to keep submitting while adjusting the description/whatever else until it gets accepted.

>>58284924
Depends on the circumstances:
A) Very hard Max raids where the Powerspot is full --> 2 Tanks and 1 attacker. The tanks should either be Blissey (awesome healer, good guard mon and cheap) or Zamazenta (best guard mon). Attacker should be the Mon that deals the highest super effective damage possible.
B) Relatively hard Max raid with the possibility of putting your mind in the Powerspot: 1 Tank, 1 attacker and 1 whatever else you wanna dame candies for.

>>58285058
>That's unironically one of the best strategies
>If your stop is legitimate and it's not getting accepted
It's semi legitimate but it can't be double checked via google. I can always take new pictures and embellish the description but I don't know what to change or do differently when I retry. It's still under review though so I'm not at that point yet. I guess I can ask here for advice on what to change but I'm not sure there is anything I need to do differently.

>>58285084
Unless it's blatantly obviously a fake poi, in which case you could get reported, you should still resubmit 100% of the time.
>but I don't know what to change or do differently when I retry
You are (most of the time) given a reason as to why your submission was rejected. Use that info and change your title, description of pics accordingly.
>but I'm not sure there is anything I need to do differently.
You just gotta wait. Asking here is always good.

>>58285120
What about appealing if the vote fails? Worth it or not worth it?

>>58285421
As far as I know, appeals are reviewed by Niantic itself (or some lower branch of it), not players. So you won't get any waytroons there, thankfully. This helps legit submissions a ton, though semi-legit submissions are probably a 50-50 chance depending on what the poi is.

I threw more than fifty ultra balls at it, and even started to use Golden Razz berries because I have way too many of them and I was actually starting to run out of pokeballs.
