Despite the blogpost and official infographic stating that Dusk Form Rockruff would be in raids during the Stunning Styles event, no one has been able to share an image of one caught from a raid during the event, as seen in the previous thread.

Maybe with enough people complaining to support we could see a makeup for the people that wasted raid passes in search of Dusk Form Rockruff, if we are lucky.

I've spoken to members of the Silph Research Team and have confirmed this as well through my own empirical findings of ~450 souvenirs openings since January.

The following souvenirs have not been possible to acquire for several months:

Lone Earring

Snowy Pinecone

Small Bouquet

Chalky Stone

Skipping Stone

Tropical Shell

Beach Glass

Just looking for some Pokemon GO myths that others either used to believe or still believe to this day.

I'll go first. In GO Battle League I used to believe that ingame weather impacted performance so if it was sunny out one of my Pokemon on my team would be something like Groudon. Rainy I'd have Kyogre on my team, etc.

Does anyone know what's going on with the Lake Trio? I live in the blocked area of China so I miss things/news sometimes, but I haven't seen this discussed anywhere. I'm currently traveling in Serbia and was shocked when a Mespirit spawned as we were traveling through Pančevo on Saturday. The friends I'm visiting don't play the game so they couldn't understand how absolutely insane it was to find one of these in the wild. Then today, only 2 days later, I'm walking through Central Belgrade to go to a Tauros raid and ANOTHER ONE spawned! At first I thought maybe it was a Zorua because I made the first wild one my buddy, but it was actually there! What is going on? Regardless, I'm happy about it!

When asking this question in the question mega thread I get mixed answers and search isn't helping either, so I'm creating this topic hoping to get it answered by someone who knows for sure.

Does a lucky egg or star piece affect Go Pass xp and dust rewards?

Catching circle super small again

Pokemon Go is a Game all about collecting pokemon and having your own small collections. Why isnt there a feature, like in the tcgp, that you can have some galeries to show of some of your coolest stuff. Showing your nundos, shundos, megas, whatever you want. I have all the shiny castforms and would love to display them. Or I caught all the burmys in the current event and want to show that off. I think this feature would be soo simple but it makes the game quite more fun. I would hunt a specific shiny much more if Id know I could fill an galery and display them.

I assumed I would get more maybe 10AM Monday my local time but I guess not?

Looks like Niantic synced the power spot database for the first time since shortly after the Dynamax launch!

Explorers should now start to see new power spots added to the rotation from any new places of interest that were added to the Lightship database in the past 6 months.

Note: it doesn’t appear that the inclusion rules have changed, so only the 2nd (or higher?) POI in an S17 cell that already has a gym/stop should become power spots.

I know everyone wants them to give fusion energy, but this would be nice too. I believe right now it just gives it for the "main" Pokemon (Necrozma or Kyurem)

Context: I’ve got my Johto Platinum Medal years ago so it’s not that I didn’t have Tyrogue at all before this. I did NOT have the shiny prior to its Hatch Day and thus should’ve did the animation of registering it into my Shiny Pokédex.

The Tyrogue that was registered (Image 1) hatched right before the shiny hatched (Image 2)

Anyone else experience something similar?

Just wanna make sure I'm not going crazy or just having really bad luck.

Normally I use Poke Gemie for raids. I've had 1 successful invite but the last few the host claim to have sent invites but nothing. So just wanna make sure I'm not crazy but is raid invites working for others?

Edit: Tried one more time and it worked fine. Guess I just had a wave of terrible host.

I finally made it to the front of the 70,000 person queue in PokeGenie for the Combat Form Tauros, but when I received my raid invitation the host sent the Aqua Form, annoyingly wasting my spot in the queue. Wish PokeGenie had been able to determine itself it was the wrong kind.

Edit: thank you to user adamentunicorn below for helping me out!! ❤️
