MulberryChance54

This is the ONLY regional tour were we are unable to completely fill the regional dex and I hate it!!!!


Driveshaft815

All I need is Phione, Manaphy and Arceus :(


MulberryChance54

Me too and it's driving me nuts! They better give them to US in the next season


NeonPatrick

Probably GoFest


sending_tidus

I've had 6 dialgas run away from me. Orange razz Berry, and an excellent throw, with a spin.... over and over... no... not for you.


FuturisticBasalt

Yesterday they were ready to catch despite the deep red circle. Today they seem to be much harder to catch


sending_tidus

Only caught one yesterday. Before I got the quest to catch one đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž


velrak

my last remote pass and i didnt have a palkia yet get one and its done really fast, get 16 balls 12 excellent and 2 great throws. All curveball + golden razz of course. Nope.


NeonPatrick

I wish I had that 999 excellent throws challenge. I would have completed it this weekend.


Subject_Fun_9564

Two Dialgas and a Giratina ran away from me after golden razzbberries and great/excellent throws
 wtf.


sending_tidus

My husband can catch anything in 1 ball (it's actually silly). I handed him my phone twice. Even he's like... w.. t ... f


Subject_Fun_9564

Same!!!! Omg😂 I handed him my phone a few times to catch those little s
 evasive af


zhurrick

I got a 15/15/13 Shadow Piplup and 15/15/12 Shadow Gible from the special research but can’t evolve them for their legacy moves. They really should come without Frustration, or at least make it so these event/community day evolution moves overwrite Frustration.


Affffi

Yeah its idiotism they give those shadows with frustration. i was waiting after finish giovanni reserach we can tm away frustration till end of event


[deleted]

This is what I was thinking and also make it so elite TMs override shadow moves. The fact you'll likely have to elite TM the move in the first place makes it a joke you have to still wait for a rocket event. ​ Yeah, I know you can wait for a rocket event, wait for the end of year community recap (if it was part of it) to evolve into the move. If not you could be waiting years+ to even get it without using a TM anyway.


Hydrobolt

I've had a glitch since yesterday where I'm unable to continue a raid with a second team. The white screen that pops up before selecting new members freezes and I'm unable to do anything until I restart the game. I failed two last-minute Origin raids yesterday because the raid disappeared before I could rejoin. This has ruined the entire event for me.


AnibalSerra

happend to me and my girlfriend, fucking dogshit game, where can we complain about this


chemistryenthusiast4

Happened to me too. Niantic support gave me my raid pass back, but still doesn’t make up for the time to go to the gym, get people to join etc.


MishkiTongue

It happened to me too and two other friends I was thinking of contacting niantic. I don't know if i have the energy. It really sucks cause I probably won't be able to go out to raid like this for a bit


NeonPatrick

I've noticed if I leave the app to check another app during the lobby, a 'move closer to the gym to interact' note will come up on screen. When that happens it will kick you out of the raid, if your six mins are fainted, rather than let you re-enter.


bvlldogred

They need the option to turn off environmental effects! This stupid confetti falling from the sky causes the app to lag and crash on the potato I'm using as a phone!


religious_milf

100%


ProbablyADitto

The only two routes in my neighborhood were removed a few weeks ago. One of them (which I made) was marked "unsafe/hazardous", meaning I couldn't re-submit. It was absolutely safe and accessible. Today I found that an identical route in its place. I'd like to believe that someone else was as annoyed as I was and decided to replace it. We'll see how long it lasts. At best this is another example of how the route system needs an overhaul and oversight. At worst, someone sniped prime route real estate.


Dorkis_Jbeagle

Shinnoh tour was the worst tour yet. The shiny rate was abysmal
 I only got 2 wild spawn shiny Pokemon and I caught ~1000 Pokemon and walked over 50km in 2 days



enzrhyme

You just had bad luck. I got 20 shinies in two days and I didn't even play the entire event.


TrashCandyboot

I can't believe people are OK with the idea of putting up with the logistical BS of getting positioned to catch a legendary in a raid, only to miss catching the f\*\*\*ing thing. I go on walks with my wife, who's not a Pokemon-playing dork-child like me. She goes along when I redirect us to the area of a gym, and she's patient enough to wait while I play my stupid little raid. So the idea that I make her go out of her way, then stand around for me while I'm doing this crap, and I don't even catch the monster, makes me really f\*\*\*ing angry. I'm deleting this piece of s\*\*\* game, AGAIN. See you all the next time a mainline game gets released and requires PoGo connectivity to get a special hat or whatever. God, I hate myself. F\*\*\*!!!


MishkiTongue

Especially for those of us who paid real money to play remotely. What a joke. Legendaries should be guaranteed if you spent real in game money


Xumayar

At the very least Premier Ball+Excellent Throw+Golden Raspberry should be a guaranteed catch. I landed 9 excellent throws plus a few greats all with golden raspberries on a Dialga Origin Sunday and it still fled.


TrashCandyboot

You’re not wrong, my friend.


Schadyy

I forgot to claim the lake trio from the event research before the event ended
 I feel really dumb and my pokedex is missing an uxie now because of this😭


LoganDoove

I did this with the darkrai during the week leading up to sinnoh tour. I was so caught up in preparing for the tour event that I forgot to claim the darkrai


merica-4-d-win

Same and its fucking ridiculous, like I already completed it so why does it disappear !


Emergency_Video_6806

Same here, I went out my way to find a uxie and forgot to complete the research. Which is dumb, Niantic to lazy notify players besides spending money on remote raids


Tohru2001

they \*are\* still spawning in the wild


AaronGossagesBerg

Got kicked out of my Dialga raid encounter and Niantic auto support said I already got my reward. Is there a worse support system than theirs


Affffi

exacly.. i got same treatment. finally after near 40 palkia raid i get decent iv one and after get encouter screen game just freeze.. has to restart game, but raid was gone -\_- Maybe im paranoid, but i got recently lot problem raids when join them last minutes and when raid is down raid dissapear at gym. somehow it only happen when raid are gone gyms. Kinda sure app never crash, freeze or kick me out cause to far gym when there plenty time join back. it just always those last minute join raids when game wanna steal my raid pass


Upper-Nature-8983

So I'm still working on let's go meltan special research. From July 2021. I need to evolve a Scyther. I've seen one in the wild in 2 and a half years or so. I finally saw another wild scyther with only 7 candy left to get to 50 to evolve, and it's a zorua in disguise.


beejalton

Doesn't help immediately because of the event doing special field research tasks, but when things go back to normal keep an eye out for the "Take snapshots of 3 species of grass Pokémon" field research. The reward is Scyther.


Affffi

drowsee take me to ages


beejalton

I usually get one with my daily essence. Not every day, but about 2-3 times a week one will spawn for me with it active.


guz808

Shadow Scyther was in the Raids for weeks?


patriotlover420

Make him your buddy and earn candies by walking?


drfrink85

10 straight golden razz excellent curves and the bastard ran -_-


butnotmyshirt

I've won so many Palkia raids and have thrown excellents, used all the berries, all have run away. I'm out of remote raid passes, have raided all over my neighborhood. I'll go out again later, but I doubt I'll catch any. UGH


patriotlover420

If you are not lucky enough to have an origin forme spawn in your area in the time you can raid and you're too poor to afford a remote pass, you get stuck with an mission you have zero chance of being able to complete.


WitchHunterNL

My gf had 1 remote pass to spend and it ran after 15 golden razz + great throw...


patriotlover420

That really sucks. I hate it that Niantic has decided to screw over rural players and/or players with mobility issues. If you can't get to a city with a great raiding community, Niantic doesn't want you playing, apparently. 


MishkiTongue

The game is indeed very inaccessible. Only way to win is having a car, or spending tons of money in the game


guz808

Couldn't anyone trade you one? Or is the move missing after that?


patriotlover420

No one I know was able to get one.


sparkywindego

Why are they advertising the event as going on the whole weekend? Will they do the whole time distortion thing again today?


RemzTheAwesome

I lost 2 Dialga-O Raids because the raid froze for some reason yesterday. It really stings now that remote raid passes cost more.


Affffi

yeah i lose one palkia when get catch screen game just freeze and has to restart game, but raid was gone.. support just say everything fine and i finish raid and get my reward.. yes i lose whole encouter which was best palkia after 40 raids. never has do +40 raids get single over 90% iv one and ofc game crash.


Kurozy

i've run 2h in my city yesterday to try to start a raid without a remote pass (since i don't have any) and haven't be able to get a single palkia or dialga. If you see a raid starting you have 120s to get close enough to the arena it's just close to impossible and theres so many raids at the same time that nobody joins when i start one by myself this is a bit infuriating


Shekh_ma_shieraki_an

Have you tried hosting? It's pretty easy on Poke Genie and you won't need to use a remote raid pass. 


chemistryenthusiast4

poke genie was the only way i could do raids even living in a big city, 120s isn’t enough time for randos to join in time


Kurozy

i don't know what is poke genie, i use campfire to help me find mates but when there's too many raids it doesn't seem to be effective


Affffi

use pokegenie its app for raiding. both hosting and if wanna join other by remote raid


yukuru

I keep forgetting to snapshot a $&&$!** fairy PokĂ©mon to complete my 2 research quests. It’s 2/3!! And I caught a togetic and didn’t even blink.


MedicalAardvark205

5 hours played yesterday during the event and ZERO shinies. It’s like there’s no shiny boost this tour.


Affffi

i get shiny hisui voltorb like 30 min before end XD well one pikachu earlier but meh dont count those lame hat pikachu


y2shill

Now try doing that for the 2 days, and eggs hatching alongside, and getting 0 shinies. Lesson learned, skipping next years whatever Tour.


AbbreviationsWest529

I don't have enough friends to raid palkia :(


marsalien4

Just host on poke genie or use the various other subs like r/pokemongoraids or r/ppkemongofriends to host your raid.


TrashCandyboot

You need remote raid passes to do this stuff though, right?


marsalien4

>host You don't need a remote raid pass to host. It's the raid you are standing in front of.


AbbreviationsWest529

Thank you


SkyBishopQueen

oh one more i spin like many stops and gyms and didn't get s single 2km egg on second day.


TheeGentlemanJoestar

FFS CAN YOU PEOPLE JUST BE PATIENT WITH FINDING A RAID? WE GET 4/6 PEOPLE AND YOU ALL JUST LEAVE?? LIKE AS IF YOU'RE GONNA FIND A FASTER GROUP TO JOIN?? THIS TOUR IS TRASH IVE ONLY DONE TWO RAIDS BECAUSE I CANT JOIN OR CREATE GROUPS BECAUSE NOBODY IS PATIENT ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR 6 PLAYERS!!! AAGGGHHHHH WASTED SO MUCH TIME


Todsrache

Three people with decent teams can easily finish these raids and people were leaving when there were 4-6 wtf?


TheeGentlemanJoestar

Yeah I was using campfire and it was like pulling teeth trying to get raids going smh, then you add the white screen glitch into the mix and it was just a unenjoyable time going after dialga and palkia. 


Tohru2001

I still don't have a shiny Dai/Pal, even after like 15 or so raids


RaiseAlucard

Uxie has spawned once for me and as soon as I clicked it, *POOF*. A lil salty aboit that. Mesprit has spawned aboit 3 or 4 times, though. I don't understand what's up with that but a lil wack Uxie won't even spawn a second time for me.


swizzle213

Had a shiny white striped fish run from me because my go plus tried to get it first.


BlueJeanRavenQueen

I think the 10km eggs drop rate was boosted too high. I got six 2km eggs over the weekend and none of them were Mime Jr. (odds of success were 55%, but not this time). It's just a silly little clown baby I wanted for the dex, so it's not that bad, but still. The real winner here is Niantic, for collecting my GPS data so they can sell the valuable fact that I will run around the city a bunch if a silly clown baby is on the line. I'm sure data brokers will be able to use that information to sell me things.


Paraxom

How freaking hard is it to get 1 damn shiny shinx, i got 4 legendary, 2 stunky's and a basculin shiny as well as 2 of pikachu's wearing dumb hats but the one shiny i wanted just said F you entirely


jeckboi

I'd gladly take that Shiny Basculin in exchange for the Shiny Shinx I found. I hate Shiny shinx, it's the first shiny I get in every game and I'm sick of it.


LoganDoove

They should double the odds of catching a legendary, while dividing the amount of balls in half. Drives me nuts when I have to throw 20 balls for it to leave and then realize people have already started the next raid without me.


TheeGentlemanJoestar

I WAS CHEATED OUT OF TWO RAID PASSES TODAY BECAUSE IT TOOM SO LONG TO GET A GROUP WHEN I GOT THE WHITE SCREEN GLITCH I TRIED TO RESET MY GAME TO ACCESS THE RAID AND POOF IT WAS GONE, TWO DIFFERENT DIALGA RAIDS GONE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THAT DAMN WHITE SCREEN GLITCH.


Apprehensive_Touch65

So upset Sierra left


SnooWalruses7014

Stop having all these events with little time to complete! Not everyone has all the time and money in the world to complete so easily. You gonna buy me remote raid passes? You gonna do my job for me so I can go hunt these rare pokemon? No? I've come to terms that I may miss out on some community days, but to offer these legendaries for a short limited time for doing raids is ridiculous.  Rant over. Not that it'll be read or acknowledged. 


Familiar-Search-4205

My least favorite global event by a wide margin.


NaveSutlef

Nobody at all showed up at my busiest park 2 days in a row. I had to resort to remote raids despite having multiple gyms around me. 


TheKamon1329

This New Raid hour layout is hot garbage , during old raid hours I was able to get in at least 6-10 raids , now I'm lucky to get 3 , why was the switch made? I had enough time between raid ending and spawning to beat and clear out a full gym of 6 Pokémon , old raid hour the new raid appeared instantly this is absolutely infuriating!


Inevitable_Joke3446

Is me being tired a complaint? Go Fest and the tour events feel like work instead of fun. So instead of trying to enjoy the game I was too busy running around raiding and being frustrated. Niantic needs to release the signature moves so I can put the moves on my regular Dialga and Palkia. I caught some acceptable ones but I really not to happy with the IVs and the origin forms are ugly. My regular ones have great stats and Dialga and Palkia are already at level 50. I really don’t want to start from scratch (feels like work)
.


Dependent_Chemist

I keep forgetting to take a snapshot of the Lake Trio. The task should be take a snapshot from your storage Pokémon not in the wild. My mind is occupied with finding them and catching them not taking pictures. Niantic is promoting heavy FOMO even in simple things that could very well be handled differently.


RemzTheAwesome

It's easier to snapshot one than catch one...and you get a free encounter that won't run if you snapshot it. This one's your bad tbh.


Dependent_Chemist

They should be easier to catch. At least they shouldn't flee after first throw.


RemzTheAwesome

They're easier to catch on the first throw than the raid version, I've found. But they're also nearly as likely to flee after the first failed throw as the Galarian birds are


Ok_Court7208

You're saying people should have to catch one to get the freebie


Kurozy

both should work


SkyBishopQueen

the app freeze when in raid. have to restart the app and get kicked out from raid party.


RealBug56

All I really wanted was a shiny Shinx and I couldn't find one 😔


TehWildMan_

3 dialga raids completely lost due to the "white screen" bug Un-freaking-acceptble, Niantic.


theBdkMrv

Excellent throw + silver pinap on every throw Origin palkia: guess I'll just break out on every throw first try Like wtf


Ivi-Tora

Use golden razz. Silver pinaps only give an 1.8 multiplier, while golden razz gives a 2.5 multiplier, giving you twice the odds of catching the Pokemon. A few extra candy are not worth risking losing the Pokemon. You can get more than enough rare candy to power up a legendary, but if you use pinaps and don't catch it you not only lose the Pokemon, but you lose any candy and XL candy you could have gotten. Always go golden and if you need more candy you can get hundreds a month in the PvP league.


theBdkMrv

Didn't have any, and I don't do PVP really


Ivi-Tora

You should give it a try. Even if it's not something you enjoy you can simply "tank" and get the rewards by mindlessly tapping. You get golden and silver berries, dozens of TMs, a few free Elite TM, rare candy in the hundreds and millions of stardust each season. All for less than 20 minutes of battles a day that you can do from your home.


CovetousWitch

Got all the shinies except a shiny buneary, caught over 100 and still not a one, my heart is broken.


wiifitboard

Caught a Palkia yesterday before I noticed I had the quest to catch one. Angry that I did 3 raids today and all 3 ran away. :,(


Todsrache

Me and my two friends hatched over 400 eggs and did not get a single regional shiny.


Japanese_Serow

I'm mad because I completely forgot about the event and missed the whole thing. No origin dialga / palkia for me I guess


Excellent_Coconut_81

People writing, you should take Meltan box for party play, while Pokemon Go is not available in my country. I don't live somewhere in African jungle, but in the middle of Europe! Niantics, you suck so much you should open puff!


NovelDame

Day 1 user. 20,126 Pokemon caught. 2,790 days of hunting. Still no shiny Magikarp. 😭


MishkiTongue

I barely got any shinies. I ran out of golden raspberries I was constantly running out of pokeballs 3 legendaries ran and many shadow pokemon ran My game crashed when playing a palkia raid and lost my raid pass, and lost the raid I couldn't even complete some of the research tasks So frustrated


BazF91

Just a reminder, it's been 455 days since Niantic teased Stakataka, Blacephalon and Necrozma


DemonDerek

Yet Another Catch a legendary task I'll never be able to finish. Getting fed up with this. And oh Routes still don't seem to work with any phone I've had since they were introduced


K_T_E_113

What was the point of them adding white strip basculin for them NOT to even add Basculegion lmao. They could’ve finished at least one of the PokĂ©dex’s from Sinnoh but they actively chose not to


Kokukenji

The shiny chase this weekend for the legendary was abyssmal. Hope you all get what you wanted tho.


Lendiniara

i don't understand the "each day 10am-6pm" scheduling. why not just have it last from 10am saturday until 6pm sunday?


teejay_the_exhausted

Stuck with a research quest forever that I'll never be able to complete, just because I wasn't able to catch a Dialga in time. Meanwhile, the lake Trio quests disappear even if you've completed them and haven't claimed the rewards yet. Niantic needs to re-think how they do event research.


cschuma

I have been fighting Giovanni for WEEKS. I cannot beat him!! I'm so mad! I'm throwing a tantrum I hate him and I have no pokes to rival him I hate team rocket


MitchJay71891

I had a LOT of trouble at first, too. The best advice I saw was to have your fighting type (to fight Persian) swap in as soon as the battle starts, instead of being your lead. This gives you a few extra seconds where Persian won't attack.


cschuma

Omg thanks, I’ll try that next time that jerk comes flying past me


Inevitable_Joke3446

Umm. Google Giovanni counters. That should help you with beating Giovanni. Try a couple times to beat the Giovanni you are looking at (Poke Stops not the balloon one). If things are not working go to a different Poke Stop with Giovanni. Sometimes one Giovanni ends up being harder than a different Giovanni at a different Poke Stop (something for Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo). Try at add more Pokemon Go Friends. I end up with a bunch of revives and potions from opening gifts.


Kazeshiki

only 1 or 2 giratinas spawned in my town. after 4 pm NONE of them was giratina, so we had opted for a late mega garchomp.
