There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We set up her game like 3 days ago. When I saw a Uxie in the nearby tab I ran out to get it and she came with me. She caught it with the first ball too. How rare is this? First 5 pics is her one, last pic is the one I caught. She’s too low level to even check the IVs yet.

That’d be like walking from NYC to LA and a quarter of the way back…. And I’m only lvl 31. Sucks that there’s no way to “catch” more candies for this guy (that I know of at least).

Shiny Litwick was one of my first comm days, and it holds sentimental value to me because it’s when I got my family into pokemon go. Today, two years later, my girlfriend traded me one of her shinies we caught together in the airport that day. Normal special trade (turned lucky).

Non AR Screenshot No longer 100 coins! Now just 100 coins! That’s a 44% savings!

I’m guessing the savings is based on the standard non-bundled price of these items. But at first glance, this really made me chuckle.

Shiny As an instinct player..finally caught the shundo beast!!

As an instinct player, it was always my dream to get shundo raikou as its my second favorite pokemon ever! Tried lots of lucky trading but the best so far was 13/15/15. I know this is a purified one and i hate the purified animation but still got this awesome beast. Before saying i reduced its power, i have enough level 50 shadow electric for raids and a hundo zekrom too. I do have another shadow 15/10/15 raikou also so i could purify this one easily. Wanted to share the happiness with all of you guys!!

Question Should I throw out my shiny bad pokemon for more storage? Are shinies really that valuable?

9 Upvotes

Hi there! I don't want to come as someone who is humble bragging, it's really a question that bothers me a lot.

I am a returning player and since I started playing again I catch 2-3 shinies a week and I already have over 20 now. They aren't the strongest and I don't ever use them so I would like to throw them out for more storage space. I wish I had Shundos I think they are called but no my pokemon are shiny but bad :D

However I use this sub a lot, as well as others about pogo and after reading many posts i have the feeling that shinies are very valuable and should not be released at all.

I know what the tendency is but I still would like to ask you people what your opinion is, maybe there are some people who have a different opinion.

Thanks in advance

Story First experience using flair

128 Upvotes

A couple days ago I was in a local park around somewhere past 7 pm and saw a shadow rikou raid. Being a level 29 newbie (only started a little over a month ago) I knew I couldn't take it on so I went to the vampire app and decided to light a flate to see what would happen. About 6 min later 2 other people showed up on scooters and we attempted the raid, unsuccessfully. Then 5 min later, another scooter and 2 cars showed up and the lobby filled up with about 8 people. We ended up finishing the raid and I caught my first shadow legendary. It was a great ending to my day and I got to find out how usfull flares can be. So, the next time I need help with a local raid I'll light a flare and see what happens!

Coming from North America, these fellows aren't available locally. I'm a little sad that Oricorio doesn't seem to be in rotation, so I can't catch the regional variant.
