Pokemon Go

We also get Galarian Stunfisk, but no trace of Corsola or Yamask, so, I guess we know what we will be getting this Halloween.

I wonder if Galarian Corsola will be region-locked like its Johto counterpart.

And speaking of Stunfisk, I've faced quite a lot of them recently in PvP.

Which mons have pvp goers seen a lot as of late?

Well, first we need to know if Galarian Farfetch'd and Mr. Mime would be region exclusive. Or if Galarian Yamask would be restricted to Halloween.

I really dislike how obnoxious to find certain species have become.

May be an event matter? There's just too many Pokémon to spawn in the world, so Niantic may be picky by using events to push some species to the spotlight.

Speaking of which, today Sinnoh's event finished, what were your catches/eclosions of the week? (100, shinies, almost-100...)

With the nesting system, it wouldn't be an issue, but turns out many species just don't nest. Artificial rarity.

And seeing that, for some reason, random stuff that has been in-game for years is getting a Community Day, rather than starters or pseudos, well, meh.

Random stuff? All the starters sans the Unova ones got their CD. As for Dragons, the Dratini, Trapinch and Bagon lines had one (the Gible line could get one, though), as for other pseudolegendaries, the Larvitar and Beldum lines got one... IDK, save for the Unova mons and the Gible line, did anyone worthy got left out? I think all the pseudos and starters up to Gen IV already got their CD. All that's left is the mid tier. And Niantic may be waiting until Covid passes in order to actually do the more interesting ones.

Oh, I almost forgot: June events announced.

Caught my first Reshiram today. I always thought that my area wouldn't have enough people to do legendary raids, but quite a few people showed up remotely. I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Reminds me of my first actual raid with people (remotely) and the Darkari I caught was a shiny.

My first remote legendary raid also caught me a shiny Pokemon, though it was a Virizion instead of a Darkrai.

I will still brag that I have three of those

>15 raids I don't think one could do that in 5 days

Doing 15 raids is easy

Hatching 15 eggs in the current condition is ridiculously dumb

Eh, 15 raids is very location-dependent. I'm in a local Discord group and have never once managed to get anyone to join a raid within my remote raiding distance (presumably just not enough players, as it's a rural-ish suburb). My best bet is probably to walk to gyms and loiter to solo 3* and lower raids, which isn't great given my nearest gyms are: a hotspot for people who don't care about social distancing and a children's playground.

Geez, the 15 raids task is going to be rough. I'm guessing you only have a limited time to complete the Throwback Champion Challenges?

no

Yeah, it's thankfully not time limited. 15 eggs and raids would be pretty punishing if we only had a week to do it. Actually 15 raids in a week would be impossible for free players unless they happened to have a lot of passes saved up.

Okay, that's good to know. I saw a few places referring to the tasks as "timed challenges," so I was a little worried that there would be a time limit.

Perrserker is bugged too lol

How so?

Perrserker, when clicked, shows nothing for its summary. Just a blank Normal-type background.

And apparently, somehow, evolving Galarian Meowth into Perrserker prevents you from raiding. You can't see your team nor enter the battle (you only go as far as the lobby) until you release (send to professor) the Perrserker.

Huh. Perrserker's stat screen shows up as normal for me, but I haven't done any raids today, so I can't tell if the Perrserker I have screwed up raids for me.

They've fixed it now, when it was fresh it was borked.

Trying to run Scizor in ultra league is having...mixed results. His steel typing isn't giving him as much resistance as I'd hoped against things doing neutral damage like sky attack or ancient power.

Keep debating if I want to keep him at fury cutter so he gains energy faster or bullet punch so he can fight fairies and do neutral quick damage against giratina.

Managed to catch another Reshiram today. That "Win 15 raids" research task is just chugging along slowly...

Oh don't worry. Next set you have to fight 15 trainers.
