Weekly questions, bugs, and gameplay megathread - November 2017 Posted: 26 Nov 2017 05:10 AM PST Temporary FAQ: LEGENDARIES - Three Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune) available, rotating continents on 30 September, then finally rotating on 31 October. LEGENDARIES - MewTwo available via invitation-only EX Raids. Known Issues Page Raids and Battles - open to all Gym-eligible Trainers (Level 5+) as of July 1st Consider asking your question here, instead of making a post and have it buried! Also, to prevent redundancy, do consider doing a CTRL+F in this thread or a subreddit search query for your question! Rules Please note: ONLY AR Screenshots are allowed as image posts. Any other screenshots MUST be submitted as text posts with a link to the image Past Q&A Megathreads Known bugs (some have possibly been fixed): See here for Niantic-recognized bugs. New: Shadow-Bans If you have ever used a third-party service (such as an IV checker) that required you to log into your Pokemon Go account, and/or you have ever received a warning message about unauthorized access, you may have recently been "shadow-banned". You can still play the game like normally, but only common Pokemon will show up and you will not see "rare" spawns while others will. You will need to remove any such services, revoke their authorizations, change your password, etc. Roughly a week after doing so, people have reported the shadow-bans being lifted for legitimate players. New in 0.59.1 The Pokédex displays genders for Pokémon you have caught, if applicable. However, code for genders was only added sometime in December/January. Any Pokémon caught/evolved prior to that will have a (randomly assigned?) gender in the Inventory, but will not properly display the gender in the Pokédex. Sometimes while the game is loading it will get stuck on a white screen. This seems to be due to an anti-bot "Captcha" screen that didn't load correctly, and can usually be fixed by restarting the app. There is a bug with the GPS not connecting properly, which results in nearby Pokémon spawns disappearing for a few minutes. The game will randomly crash sometimes. Having the most updated version of the app and the most updated version of your operating system tends to minimize this, but it still happens. There are graphical glitches sometimes where a Pokémon will spawn as a "miniature" version of itself. If you restart the app and are still close enough, it should reappear normally and be clickable. There is a bug sometimes while battling a gym if you don't have a great connection. If you dodge an attack that would otherwise kill you, sometimes the game won't register the dodge and your Pokémon will "faint". Then the game will sync with the server and undo the damage that you dodged, but your Pokémon still shows as fainted and you can't actually attack. If phone time is not set to Automatic, Incense and Lures may not work properly. Fix this by setting time to Automatic (in your phone's Time/Date settings) Instruction Manual Main Map Menus User Menu Settings Menu Pokédex (Updated 29 Jul for number of available Pokémon) Shop Items Pokémon Storage Pokémon screen Catching Pokémon Gym Battling Pokémon Types Controls Team Selection Gyms Raids (Updated 29 Jul for changes upon Legendary release) Easter Eggs (Includes Eevee evolutions) Useful Links Pokémon GO Info Gamepress The Silph Road Time Until Nest Migration Which Pokémon should I evolve? /r/PokemonGoIVs I'm sick of the memes here, I want the discussion posts! try http://nr.reddit.com/r/pokemongo for desktop users or this for mobile/app users. Niantic support : https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us /r/PokemonGO FAQ: /r/PokemonGo/wiki/FAQ 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 have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit. Where can I find other players in my area? Try our regional subreddits list! Also, see the related subreddits for more niche needs!

Level 40 reminiscing Posted: 26 Nov 2017 10:41 AM PST Background: My kids grew up playing pokemon. We would spend time on long car trips seeing who could name the most pokemon in the shortest amount of time. I drove them on many trips to Blockbuster to print out their gameboy pokemon phots. They had matching Ash and pikachu halloween costumes. So when my daughter told me about pokemongo I downloaded it right away. Picked Charmander as my starter and started playing July 9th, 2016. We went downtown to catch and spin and followed a swarm of people to catch a Chansey. Followed the tracker to catch a Charmeleon the day I dropped her off at college. My son came out to visit and was amazed at the number of growlithes and hitmonlees and chans he found. When I went out to visit him I caught so many oddishes and bellsprouts and enough magikarps for my first gyrados. Playing this game has really helped me keep in touch with my children as they've grown and left the house. Now I even have my husband hooked. Yesterday I was lucky enough to have them all home with me and we completed a porygon raid together that unlocked level 40 for me. They set off fireworks and sprayed silly string and then we had pizza to celebrate. I was smiling the entire night and caught Farfetched to cap off a great evening. My stats: Jogger: 2,576 km Collector: 34,248 Scientist: 5,336 Breeder: 1,678 Backpacker: 32,904 Battle Girl: 2,608 Pokedex : 246 Random Fact: Youngster: 484 tiny rattata submitted by /u/ReadingCat88 [link] [comments]

I just beat my first tier 2 Raid. :D Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:10 PM PST It was at our town hall, and a person with their mentally challenged teenager came up, and we took down a tentacruel. It was awesome. :D even got 2 golden razzes, and a fast TM out of it, so score! :D Hopefully Pokemon GO gets bigger in our small town (although I hope more team yellows join in :V ) submitted by /u/LordHayati [link] [comments]

Posted: 26 Nov 2017 01:50 PM PST I have an iPhone and idk if this has been talked about yet but has anybody experienced this?

I'm a level 38 and wanted to know if anyone has the "Fisherman" medal? Posted: 26 Nov 2017 06:25 PM PST I've seen 1617 magikarps and caught 1535. I also have 17 Gyarados, but I only have 221 "big magikarp" Just wondering if anyone else has the same ratios? submitted by /u/snakeman2016 [link] [comments]
