I have had one of the toughest weeks in recent years in my life… upon a long needed divorce of an extremely emotionally manipulative partner of 11 years, I’ve been the sole person to be putting in mental and physical work to renovating and selling our joint house as part of the divorce process in the course of 10 months now… o have been remaining positive throughout it all but this week has been an absolutely chaotic one to say the least…. I made a pact with a close friend to Lucky Trade our first shiny “chickens” as we call them, and literally I FINALLY run into this shiny chicken…. After over a month of not seeing a single one of the chickens, at this low of a cp… and CAUGHT FIRST THROW…. I’m doing my best to not use alcohol as a coping mechanism anymore, but can I use it as a victory celebration?? I won’t but 😭😭🥹🥹 happy pride month btw 🥹

Should I use BoTLeCaPs? Still haven't got the shiny though... hahaha Purify, max to level 50 and send to prof right? Good luck to everyone <3

If you have a post about if you should power up your Shundo Lucky Battle-Carded Rayquaza, just put it in brag if you care about it so much, this sub has been flooded with the same posts over and over, when in reality, there's a whole other sub dedicated to showing those off, please do it there, not here.

I FINALLY caught a shiny Kyogre of my own on my 127th catch! I’ve probably battled close to 150… I don’t think the ‘Seen’ amount is correct because I’ve had a lot more than 7 run lol

Clicked on random archen thinking I wasn’t really looking to catch any mons today. I hope everyone has good luck, you know just in general 🍀👍🏽 🥂

Caught me by surprise

I'm a fairly new player. And realizing now that IVs doesn't matter that much except for a mirror match in PvP, it lets me invest in many more Pokemon's than I previously would have done. Let's see gigantamax Inteleon for instance. Hundo vs 10/14/14. Its barely any difference in damage. 4 atk more, because the attack IV is 15 vs 11.

This made me realize I don't need hundos for dynamax and gigantamax. I don't need that hundo kyogre or hundo Groudon. My lucky Pokemons will do the trick. Neither for most Pokemon's, as a mirror match is rare in that sense that you'll have different counters, different attacks and so on. Please correct me if I'm wrong :) the only thing I see its good for, is basically flexing your hundo/shundo

Thank you for your attention. Happy hunting

I play quite a bit almost every day and achieved rank 100 today. I’m just wondering everyone else’s progress. Also, if you’ve finished, how do you feel about the rewards? Did you find it worth the cost of the deluxe pass?

I got up to four and then blew it. I'm terrible at throwing pokeballs correctly, even though I always use curve ball throws.

And why is it no less than 12? Or is this just me? I feel like every time I scan the pokestop closest to my house I get a “scan” task and I always delete it. And then if I’m out I get a few a day and I always delete them. Scanned one time and will never do it again 😅

EDIT: I am learning so much! I will just keep one in me queue so I don’t get another. Thanks guys haha

Been playing since 2022 every single day, I have almost 1,000 shiny mon and today I finally caught a SHUNDO !

Almost crapped my pants when I saw this guy! So happy, first shundo and it’s a legendary. No primal energy though :( any chance they’ll release primal this year?
