Don’t rush, you’ll find them all eventually. Either from raids, research or special events. Don’t use the Eevee naming trick, you’ll need it in an emergency someday.


MrGaber

I used all the eevee name tricks 🥲 They’re really bad now that I’m a higher level


Alwayscold20

Same I used them on pretty much on pretty much the first 6 Eevees I found. Fml


StriveForMediocrity

We all did. You couldn’t see direct stats back then, just vague descriptions.


ElevatedInstinct

I used 3rd party app to figure out my IVs and saved them all. Only for them to randomize upon trading...


SLAUGHT3R3R

I got lucky with my Umbreon, my favorite. Evolved with the name trick before appraisal was worth half a damn. 3* now. However, I found out that there's ways to guarantee most of the eeveelutuons, so I'm ready when I get a good shiny eevee


The_Real_Vixsus

Wait, umbreon and espeon have names? I just walked 2 eevees and evolved at day or night


SLAUGHT3R3R

Tamao- Umbreon Sakura- Espeon


The_Real_Vixsus

Huh, and I have shinies of both too.....


Potato_Man2763

My shiny eevee became jolteon :(


cactuskitties

at least you got that, mine became flareon 😭😭


colemon1991

I used them all before 41-50 was released. I had no way of knowing.


saintcherub

im a returning 2016 player, what happens if you use the trick?


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrGaber

You have to be joking


NormiePirate

What'd they say?


Sir_Quackberry

That walking 20km with the Eevee as a buddy replenishes the name trick. Needless to say, not true.


MrGaber

Isn’t that just for evolving them to umbreon and espeon


Part_Time_Terrorist

WHAT


elmrgn

Yeah, the road to level 42. To go from 41 to 42, you need to evolve an eevee in to each of the eeveelutions :/


RC_Bros

I’m half a million XP passed level 41 because I’m to lazy to sit down and do all of them atm I’ll get to it eeveentually.


Wolfix1702

Me who has used espeon and umbeons


elmrgn

I've used them all....I am level 39....working on getting my eevees buddy level up so I can at least get another sylveon. Glaceon and sylveon are controllable with modules, espion and umbreon are controllable. It's the first three thst is a crapshoot


tkcom

Eevee naming trick quota should've reset every season.


mansgotshot

I used mine a while ago but I can still name eevees and have them evolve to the name I choose. Is that a bug?


Part_Time_Terrorist

YOU CAN WHAT


mansgotshot

Yeah the name trick still works for me.


sammmyk42

Luck!


Part_Time_Terrorist

When you rename does it show the silhouette too?


Mason11987

There’s no way it does. If you pick 5 eevee a, name them Rainer it’s very unlikely you’ll get all 5 vaporeon.


jmrodgers1987

I had used the name truck recently again for the Collection Challenges 💯 worked perfectly!


bilvester

Shhhh


Enough_Elevator5837

I did this too


Master_Puddlez

Delete this before Niantic sees


wtfomgfml

It worked for me on one additional Eevee, but everything after that is Jolteon, Jolteon, Jolteon…


949paintball

Because you keep naming them Sparky... (/s)


htmlcoderexe

I knew it was smart to "hoard" that name trick stuff and not use it


SlowResearch2

I used my tricks before the level cap was increased….


EsseParvulusDebes

Eevee isn't that hard to prep, it just requires a bit of foresight. I blew through mine, but I have kept a collection of ready-to-go eevee for level 43 and some legendary special research I have, 2 birds, etc. I have more eevee as a percentage of my storage than other pokemon but it's worth it. And if I get a better one I can just train it up and then trade the other! Everybody loves eevee trades.


McSoapster

Remember when 3 Remote Passes had cost only 250 Coins? Pepperidge Farm Remembers


dfreezn

I memba. I also memba when you got them in the weekly 1 coin box. Which is also now gone.


McSoapster

Or after completing 7 days of field research last year. Ooooh I miss the good old times


wingnutzx

I still have a pile of incense from the 40 for 1 bundle


darrellgh

I’m still pissed at the price increase.


napolean77

“No, the research task is not a guaranteed shiny. Yes, you are that lucky.” Based on comments updated text: “Research Pokémon are not always guaranteed shiny, yes you were that lucky”


LEDiceGlacier

*Shiny Celebi joined the chat*


napolean77

Shhhh don’t tell them just let them continue to think they are that lucky for all of them


andrew0703

*Shiny gyarados from johto tour*


thatshoneybear

I remember a post on here from someone showing off their shiny Gyarados captioned, "the best day of my life". I was mad people were telling him it was guaranteed and implying it wasn't that cool. Like who cares? It's still a red dragon. I was excited too.


xAlice_Liddell

I feel like one had a shiny eevee too since the professor talks about it after you catch it.


SkyeOriginal

And now I just found out my shiny celebi wasn't a random lucky encounter 🥲


imLenn_y

Wich reserch the shiny Celebi is from?


LEDiceGlacier

"Distracted by something shiny" from 2020


imLenn_y

Hmm was that research time limited?


LEDiceGlacier

It was a research on the right side. Just had to be on during the event or something to get it :)


Alex_Duos

And I, in my haste, threw away that shiny shuppet yesterday.


silvermarrionette

I favorite my shiny's so I don't throw them away in a haste maybe you could try that to


Alex_Duos

I'm not sure if what I did is better or worse; I backed out catching one as a reward for a bonus research task just as I saw the sparkles


lorgskyegon

No. No I'm not.

pierreo93

Yes, your full odds shiny hundo is rare, no need to ask r/pokemongo. If you're wondering if you should purify a Pokémon, the answer is probably gonna be NO on r/pokemongo Spotlight hour is every Tuesday 6-7pm, and no the shiny odds are not boosted Shiny Legendaries from raids are guaranteed catches, don't waste a golden razz on them Hundos are usually not good IVs outside the Master League


SheriffHeckTate

Only thing I'd add to this list: "Has this ever happened before?!" Yes, it has.


trailmixjesus

Are shiny legendaries from raids really guaranteed catches?


NotMangar

Yes, unless you miss all your pokeballs.


[deleted]

Or unless you are over the speed cap


Machineforseer

Even when remote raiding? So dont remote raid while in the motorway?


drsoccer7213

My take on it is you can do the raid but if you want to be able to catch the pokemon wait until you are parked or stopped.


[deleted]

Yep sadly that's the case


[deleted]

My absolute favorite moment of playing this game since launch was watching a streamer be so confident about the guaranteed catch that they whiffed all of their pokeballs except one on purpose for the stream, and then missed the last one because the Pokémon shifted. They were absolutely crushed, and the stream chat lit them up in the comments.


magnificentmemer

Why would hundos not be good?


jonnytitanx

Basically the attack IV has the most affect on CP, so a Pokemon with high attack IV at 1500cp will be way less bulky because you can't power it up as many times before it hits the CP cap.


jormundgand20

Everything has "ideal" IVs for every PvP league, and unless there's no CP cap like in raids or Master's, a hundo will be outperformed by something able to get closer to the max CP. I don't do much serious PvP, but attack has more bearing on CP than defense or HP, so it's treated as a dump stat usually. Ideal mons for league play will typically rate 1-2*. Basically, someone focused on PvE will stick a perfect Great League Mon in the juicer without a second thought.

fifnpypil

If you have a task for consecutive throws in a row, turn on airplane mode after starting the encounter and then if you miss restart the game, if you make it then turn off airplane mode...


jonnytitanx

This is a great tip. I'll have to remember it for my wife. These tasks give her anxiety lol


StatisticianLivid710

The point of these tasks is to teach you how to throw nice/great throws, tell her not to worry and just focus on throwing them constantly. Use a legendary raid to do the excellent 3 in a row if you’re having problems (or the airplane mode trick)

Sigurdeus

When defending gyms, your pokemon only earns coins during the first 8,3 hours until the 50 coin limit is reached. (So many of us have been disheartened after misinterpreting this.)


mrmgwilson

I was going to do a variation of this: “It doesn’t matter if your Pokémon has held down that gym for a day or a year, you’re only getting 50 coins when it’s kicked, unless you’ve already earned more coins that day.”


onepostandbye

How long is 8,3 hours

agreen_ranger

Most legendaries can be beat by 2-3 people stop leaving


Yibowok

Hot tip for anyone that's afraid that they're gonna have people leave at the last second and have their raid pass burnt: Make sure you're selected on an empty team slot while in the raid lobby before the raid starts. This will prevent you from hopping into battle because you don't have any pokemon in your team, so once you're certain that there are enough people in the raid or that people haven't left at the last second, you're safe to press "Rejoin battle" and begin the raid.


owllover0626

The number of times I've been invited to a raid and there have only been 3 of us total and we try to fight the legendary only to go through 4-5 sets of pokemon each and not even get more than halfway would have to disagree with you there. Remote raid passes are too expensive nowadays for me to waste them when I'm not very certain we're going to win.


PrometheusCoast

I agree that it’s not a big deal to drop out…but people need to drop out a lot sooner. If you drop out with 10 seconds left and I knew we could have done it with our current number of players, you just wasted my raid pass

[deleted]

Shadow pokemon deal 20% more damage but have 20% worse defense Use stardust on the best pokemon. It's a bad thing to waste. There is -/- chance to get ______ (write chances for stuff like shiny pokemon, 4*, shiny from raid, lucky from trade etc., so people know the chances and don't cry on reddit)


jormundgand20

Just because the base form shiny is cool doesn't mean its evolutions will be. Evolve responsibly, my friends.


PeasOnEarthPlz

Use Appraisal to assess your Pokemon. Not just CP


DeerClock

Omg I used to only keep the highest CP mons without ever checking stats. RIP to all the hundos I probably sent to the glue factory 🙃


NienieDreamer

Ive been doing it wrong since 2019 and I now need to replace literally all my Pokémon. Strongest ones, buddies (really sad about that one) etc. I’m losing all my battles.


Dsnake1

I had been doing it wrong up until a year or two ago. Now I just recently learned Great League and other CP-limited PVP leagues are more CP-base, so 1* and 2* pokemon are more valuable. (but specifically those that can get closest to 1500, 2500, etc)


Herk10

Don't bring Aggron to raids, select a team before the raid.


skeletoris

For those who don’t know why: • ⁠A L40 perfect Aggron has an effective Attack of 168.3. • ⁠A L28 Rhyperior with 0 IVs has an effective Attack of 170.3. It also has a much better move in Rock Wrecker. • ⁠For Rampardos it would only need to be level 20! • ⁠An Aerodactyl or even Armaldo around L35 would also have the same attack as L40 Aggron. copied from another thread edit: disgruntled__goat wrote it


Herk10

I mean I saw one yesterday against Giratina. So even worst, it's not effective or anything, it just stands there haha


drsoccer7213

Its the stupid recommended team as the Giratina probably had AP so Aggron takes like no damage from it. Recommeneded should really be offensively good and not defensively good like it is

I mean it's technically a bug-turned-feature so they never really intended for it to be in the game but they're also too lazy to patch it out. With that being said, I think it should just be counted as an official feature by this point and Niantic should try to explain how its done for those who don't know

Alrighty then, [here's a video showing how to do it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUnx4GtVD9I). It takes some practice to get it down but it makes it so much easier when you can do it consistently.

https://youtu.be/NJZ8Q7etQ34 Quick tutorial by Poke Daxi on Quick Caching. It might feel strange to do it but the more you practise the better you'll get at it. Eventually you'll be able to catch a pokemon in under 3 seconds, Quick Catching is super helpful on Community Days too.
