What is The Silph Road?

Running low on storage after a bunch of recent raiding, but I want to keep all my ledgendaries for boosted xl trades/transfers. Are there any upcoming events either announced or expected or leaked in the next few months that will give extra xl candy?

Looks like the most recent update boosted the “native refresh rate” option in Advanced Settings to 120. Previously was locked to 30fps/60 with native refresh rate on, but now it matches Android.

When I started the game halfway through last year, I remember my friend getting a blue banner across the screen warning him he was onto his last premier ball. I asked him why that didn't happen to me and he responded "It's new, I guess," Now it's been almost a year, and still no sign of it releasing to me. When a family member was catching a shadow from a grunt (On my phone, different account) he got the popup. So why has Niantic not released it to everyone yet?

I do quick pvp battles with my roommate for buddy hearts and noticed after updating to 309.0 that we can't start them anymore.

Tried starting via QR code and via Friend List and both have the inviter sit on the battle ready screen for a minute or so before it closes and gives the "so and so rejected the battle error" while the invited doesn't see anything. (In the case of the QR code approach the pvp menu closes and they sit idle on the map.)

They got the update on Friday and we were still able to battle with one of us on 309.0, but both of us on 309.0 isn't working.

Anyone else encounter this?

Lemme explain:

Usually, when you're walking a buddy and it gets excited at half or over half the necessary distance for a single candy, you receive the candy the moment it gets excited, and the excess distance is retained.

Yesterday I was walking Kyogre. Distance got up to 19.2KM towards one candy (+100 energy).

I got the buddy Kyogre excited at this exact moment.

Logic dictates that the distance should be 9.2/10KM towards one candy at this point.

The distance after getting excited was 0/10KM towards one candy.

I was NOT moving or drifting for the previous 10 minutes, so it wasn't distance getting updated and me reaching 20/20KM without realizing it.

So my question is: at what exact point should I avoid gaining any more distance? Do I have to stop before 19.0KM? Do I have to stop before 15.0KM? Where's the cutoff at which the game robs me, so I can avoid it next time?

Thanks in advance.

Is there anywhere I can find a list of all the currently available shop offers that rotate randomly for everyone at midnight daily? Would be really helpful to see them all and know which are the best value for my needs but I'm searching and can't find any at all.

I’ve followed 2 routes now, and both times even though I’m at the endpoint, it says 0 miles walked and I just have to quit the route. Of course I can’t reach support. Any suggestions?

I defeated a gym but I couldn’t tap it again to put my pokémon there.

I’ve been wanting to see pictures of all the new biomes but I’m struggling to find a list, anyone know of one?

Since the update today on iOS the game has the refresh rate unlocked even when you turn off native refresh rate. This is making the phone very hot and drain battery faster.

iOS -17.4.1 game - 0.309.0-A-64

Just in case rural players like me weren't aware. Mega Rayquaza can totally solo mega Heracross if you have a lot of healing items taking up too much space in your inventory. (I have over 170 max revives and over 250 max potions that I can't bring myself to toss after running out during hoenn tour a year ago because I remember the pain of using sub standard mons in those primal raids due to everything good being fainted and having 0 revives) Dragon ascent does so much damage to Heracross since it's double weak to flying. I've soloed two Heracross so far by just creating a team of only Rayquaza and max reviving him and rejoining quickly.

My Rayquaza is at 3975 CP when normal and 5935 CP when mega. So not even maxed or anything and it's stats are only 12/15/13 (sadly still my best despite doing many Rayquaza raids on raid day (and still no shiny 😭)).

Maybe this has already been discussed (if it has, I'm sorry, I haven't seen it) but I wanted to share for any other rural players that want to do some mega Heracross raids without spending coins on remote raid passes.

EDIT: It's been pointed out that creating a team of two with mega Rayquaza and something else and then leaving, reviving and rejoining when mega Rayquaza faints is quicker than getting kicked for having the "whole" team of one faint. So probably better to create a team of mega Ray and something else as fodder than to just have a team of mega Rayquaza. Is there something strong that resists all of Heracrosses attacks or at least is neutral to them? That way you could revive Ray several times without having to necessarily revive the second slot every time.

I've searched online back and forth and have not been able to find an answer about this.

I intend to trade for one of the rare 2016 true legacy Pokémon. Is there any possibility of having it NOT turn out Lucky? Assuming all guaranteed lucky trades have been reached for both accounts, is there a daily (random) Lucky Pokémon limit, or will Pokémon from July/August 2016 will always turn out to be lucky no matter what?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a filter chain to transfer all the crap but it does not seem to work. I can't see a way of doing it without the use brackets and I believe these are not supported right now.

What I want is a filter that shows all non 3*, non 4* , age0, non shiny, non legendary, but also filters out potential pvp mons. It would look something like this:

(age0 & !3* & !4* & !shiny & !legendary) & (2-4attack | 0-2defense | 0-2hp)

but it does not work. Are there any solutions to this?

After the last update for Android (version 0.309.0-G-64) my refresh rate has gone up and the game has become much "smoother". Native refresh rate has not been toggled in settings.

It's actually just being sped up in some places (pokemon sprite moving, overworld) and still stuttering in others (opening menus, feeding buddy). It's really annoying and quite frankly giving me a headache because it's very hard to look at all these movements while walking.

Does anyone else have this issue? If it isn't a bug is there any way to revert this change because I really don't like it.

I'm living in Vietnam, and I'm planning to buy tickets for GO Fest 2024, but I noticed that I have to pay in USD. In my country, we use VND, so I want to pay in local currency. Is there a way to change the payment method to VND?

I have a PTC account, but I found out that my country is set to United Kingdom , and I can't change it. Is there any solution to this issue?

So I did a lucky trade with a friend and we traded shiny kyogre. Since it’s my only lucky shiny Kyogre, I taught it origin pulse, but I also gave it a third move, what’s a good third move to teach it: hunder, blizzard, hydro pump, or surf?

Strangely, it seems to be happening when I take the lead in the match… 🤨 Closing and reloading the app makes me auto-lose. I’ve waited 10+ minutes before…it doesn’t re-connect to the server.

I am interested in purchasing phones for kids to use for pogo. My kids currently use ipads and the GPS on the them are awful. Half the time they are not near me in parks and other locations. I have to move around to get them in raids or have a to skip and similar issues sometimes with pokemon. Any cheap phones suggestions under $150?

I’ve spent 20 minutes googling and can’t find an answer to this.

My primal Kyogre is at 7.2/10 after using a poffin and getting 2 rounds of candy/energy. I’m ready to be done for the day but wasn’t sure if it will reset to 7.2/20 when the poffin expires. If that’s the case I’ll probably go on one last 3K loop even though I’m pretty tired.

BF and I went to do a raid bc i needed combee candy and we were hoping to catch a lot bc of the bug out boost but it didn’t work??? Anyone know anything?

So on go hub, it says it´s number 1 attacker for both fighting and bug. Does that mean it´s the best fighting type for raids and bug aswell? So if i have two 100% i should invest fighting moves for the first and bug only for the other? Since it´s number 1?

Can someone please tell me that if I have a good ranked mon for GL with perfect IVs and a moderately ranked one with PVP IVs then which one is generally better?
Let's say a perfect Annihilape vs the 150th ranked with PVP IVs, who is better in general terms?
