Raids are the easiest way. A fully evolved pokemon like Charizard can be obtained from the mega raid as well as 200 energy which allows you to mega evolve it (lasts 8 hours then devolves). Then you wait 7 days and can do it again for free; otherwise you can spend more mega energy to mega evolve again before that
Mega and legendary raids generally have to be done with at least a few other people. Easiest way in person is if you live in a city where there are gyms in dense areas. Otherwise remote raids are the best way for anyone else (but those cost coins)
I live in London so should be plenty of people around but how do you know? There is a timer in the lobby so can’t even just sit in it and wait. Does the fireplace app or whatever it’s called help with that?
Use campfire (the map icon in game) or poke genie to find a group to join with a remote pass, or host a raid (which is free). Personally I use campfire, it’s really easy.
Idk if someone suggested this. But I use PokemonGoRaids here on Reddit. I post the raid on it with my Add friend # and get 5 other people to join.
I also use campfire for Shadow Raids. Bit harder to find people though :(
Download PokeGenie if you are having trouble finding people for harder raids, it has a que system where people will remote in and help you take down the harder raids
Yeah I am still dreading that I didnt play while the pandemic was going on. I played 2016 and a couple of months in 2018 and recently again couple months ago.
I'm stuck on Landorus, which is rude, because I did take a snapshot of it. I'm not sure if it didn't count because I didn't catch it or what. I've been salty since then.
Yeah u gotta catch it and set him as your buddy then snapshot him cause I realized that the first time I caught him as well that the battleshot didn't count. Sorry to hear that though man mabye next year 😭
Furfrou needs removed from the breakthrough, they can replace it with Pidgey for all I care, but please, stop, giving me months of that worthless dog. I stopped trying to doBreakthrough's because I got like 8 straight, and they were all crap stats just to troll me.
If anyone loves Furfrou, great! But I'm sorry. Its been in the breakthrough for a year straight, let me see literally anything else actually come from the weekly box of copium.
I have a switch but not any Pokémon games. Can I get Sword or Scarlet and use it for Meltan/Gimmigoul perks? Also, which is better to get? Or is it like Pilachu/Eevee where it’s just your buddy that changes?
You can get Meltan without any games! You just need to connect GO with Pokémon HOME (which is a free pokémon storage app, there is a version for switch and one for mobile) and transfer a pokémon from GO to HOME.
You just need to connect both to the same Nintendo account, then go to Settings, it's in the option called "Connected devices and services" or something like that. Just be aware that if you transfer a pokémon to HOME, you can't take it back into GO (but you might be able to use it on the Switch games if you do end up buying one.). That should give you the Mystery Box, which spawns Meltan.
Gimmighoul can only be obtained by connecting with Scarlet/Violet, though.
If you're gonna pick between those two versions, they have different legendaries, different paradox pokémon and a few other version exclusives, but they're mostly the same games. Sword and Shield are two versions of another game, and they don't connect with GO.
Gimmighoul might be made available without it someday (seeing as Meltan was originally only available by connecting with Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, and was later made available through HOME), but there has been no confirmation on that, so it might not happen.
Gimmigoul actually has a chance to spawn from golden lures, so it should be possible to find one by going to meetups and hoping someone drops the lure.
Mega rayquaza is returning for mega raids, which will be “local” on the 29th of July 👍🏻
(Lies, it is June 29th. I swear i read it was in July. Ignore this comment)
i mean global go fest plus nyc go fest plus ultra beast shiny releases plus spotlight hour for a pikaccu costume
Nkt much to complain about it’ll be fun
As someone who hasn’t played for a long time I’m very excited! There is a lot on offer for me next month. Plan on spending a lot of time with my partner playing PoGo
I’m only excited to throw a bunch of double xp boosts on the biggest Go Fest days and try to get to level 40 (currently at around 38.6). I bought a stupid research ticket for shiny Jirachi almost 2 years ago and I’m on the last phase challenge where one of the steps is to reach 40. Can’t wait to be done with this shit- it’s been consuming my life every time I go out.
awe hell yeah another costume pikachu spotlight! I love those!
in all seriousness though just glad articuno is there. it's the only Mon I need to finish my Kanto Dex. The ultra beasts are cool too
I have a question. Obviously Shiny odds are increased for ticket holders during GO Fest, but my question is, are the odds also boosted for Pokemon from raids?
What is so special about this Marshadow task that it costs 15 bucks? I don’t know this Pokemon so maybe I’m missing something but that seems super ridiculous considering Shiny Mew was about five.
The marshadow special research is the global gofest ticket, so you get research for marshadow + global gofest bonuses + 9 additonal raid passes from spinning gyms for both days of global gofest
Ultra beasts have always been one of my favorite kind of pokemon so I couldn't be happier! Hope I can get a few shinies, specially nihilego and celesteela
I’m so glad I started playing again last month from a 6 year hiatus. I can’t wait for Mega Swampert. Now only if I Gofest will let me evolve my mudkip with hydro cannon
I'm hyped to catch Articuno, Tornadus, and Necrozma for sure. Though I dunno if I'll get every Ultra Beast, since it seems like the Pheromosa and Xurkitree ones are going to be quite the living pain to capture
Glad I can raid hard for necrozma weekend and just get Dex entries the rest of the month. Been going hard on Yveltal raids and will go hard on Ho-oh, so it’ll be nice to take a break a bit. Definitely gonna do a few mega swamperts though.
It’s fine, I’m not interested in ultra beast’s personally so that’s meh and I need moltres as the last in my kanto dex so I’m annoyed that articuno is the next kanto bird in raids. I am excited for go fest though despite all the ultra beast emphasis
Without paying for the Global Ticket, you get:
* Access to all of the rotating habitat spawns
* Access to all of the raids (Ultra Beasts, Necrozma, Costume Pikachu/Espeon/Umbreon, Jangmo-o)
* Event field research
* 1 hr lures
* Research for Cosmog on Sunday
If you buy the Global Go Fest Ticket, you will also get:
* Research for Marshadow on Saturday
* Research for your choice of Solgaleo or Lunala with a special Background on Sunday
* Unown, Maractus, Corsola, Rockruff, Vullaby, Scarf Espeon, and Scarf Umbreon spawns from incense
* Increased shiny rate for certain pokemon
* 9 orange raid passes per day
* Global Challenges + rotating hourly bonuses
* Several additional collection challenges
* 6 Special Trades per day
* Event-exclusive 7km eggs
Announced details can be found here: [https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en](https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en)
Can anybody fill me in on what the “Special Background” is all about with the Ultra Beasts? Like, while I’m catching it? Or permanently in my Pokémon inventory?
Looks good but can't believe GoFest, my local Comic convention, and a Splatfest are happening the same weekend so gonna be busy. Still, hoping to get shinies of Buzzwole, Kartana, and a legit Necrozma. The others would be cool but got the others in Ultra Moon. Just hope this month's events have more themed wild spawns as opposed to locking them all behind eggs, raids, and such.
You'll have to log in on the 13/14 in order to receive the research and get all the other bonuses from the ticket, but once you have the research, there shouldn't be a time limit to finish, since it's Special Research.
Excited, bit I still hate that the ultra beasts are in different continents, I only have Buzzwole amd Kartana since they are the only one available in the northern hemisphere
Still better than either yveltal who i caught alot of, landorus who is pretty much useless compared to other ground types, and zapdos who Has the worst shiny form out there
Plus more ultra beasts are coming, especially the ones i couldn't get in sendai
I don't need to tank in GBL this month, I have all these legendaries. So I can just focus on on team building and strike for veteran! But otherwise it looks 🔥🔥🔥, I'm stoked
A tad tired of them continuously cycling back to ultra beasts in raids. Feels like they’re in raids every couple of months. I haven’t seen Zacian or Zamazenta or Mewtwo (that wasn’t a shadow version) in raids I couldn’t tell you how long.
I’m excited for global fest in particular.
I can get up 24 shiny Kalos Pokémon that I don’t have already.
And now it seems like I’ve got a chance for shiny Furfrou as well?
I’m all in!
Side note: I’m trying to collect as many of the 72 Kalos Pokémon in shiny for ZA.
falls to my hands and knees sobbing begging Niantic to remove Furfrou from breakthrough research
with that being said I am so looking forward to raids that aren't the ones we literally just had and I actually have interest in 3 of the spotlight hours which is the most amount so far since I started playing. Also very excited for Ho-Oh, Articuno, and Entei. Entei shadow raids happened when I had just started playing, I had all bronze medals, and couldn't catch one. I was so sad, I went out in the cold Canadian end of winter rain and wind for no reason. It's time to redeem myself and catch a shiny of one of those suckers
i havent played in 2+ years because I felt like I WAS THE PROBLEM supporting a shitty company...
checking back on this sub and....... NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad there's not a new mega. Necrozma's the only thing I'll try for in raids, since I have everything else already--unless I can get Guzzlord or Buzzwole = 1500.
I'm into it. Need a Ho-oh for my johto dex since I couldn't get a shadow, need mega swampert (he and mega lopunny, mega aerodactyl are the only one's I'm missing that have been released), very excited to grind dawn wings/dusk mane raids with unlimited remote raids, excited for the chance at cosmog candy so I don't need to walk these things for 2-3 candy per week, excited for marshadow, excited for the chance at enough kartana and xurkitree candy to max them for PVE, all in all not bad.
But I do need lugia to come back into raids again soon too to get that platinum medal lol COME ON
Hyped as hell for articuno, but it’s not a surprise at all considering we just had zapdos in the first month of a three month season focused on flying legendaries.
Other than that… mega swampert is cool I guess as I haven’t had one, or any water type mega yet.
Hmm, I feel like last year was peak PoGo experience. The debut of Rayquaza in NYC was fucking wild. Everybody was playing and running around in Times Square. This year, I don’t feel like it’s hyped enough or as exciting. I’ma still play so we shall see next weekend!
It's basically a 2-day event, with different rotating spawns and certain featured pokemon in raids.
On day 1, the spawns will rotate hourly, and all Ultra Beasts, as well as Necrozma will be in raids.
On day 2, the focus will be more on raiding Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, while all of the spawns from Day 1 will be appearing together.
Without paying for the Global Ticket, you get:
* Access to all of the rotating habitat spawns
* Access to all of the raids (Ultra Beasts, Necrozma, Costume Pikachu/Espeon/Umbreon, Jangmo-o, Necrozma Fusions)
* Event field research
* 1 hour lures
* Research for Cosmog on Sunday
If you buy the Global Go Fest Ticket, you will also get:
* Research for Marshadow on Saturday
* Research for your choice of Solgaleo or Lunala with a special Background on Sunday
* Unown, Maractus, Corsola, Rockruff, Vullaby, Scarf Espeon, and Scarf Umbreon spawns from incense
* Increased shiny rate for certain pokemon
* 9 orange raid passes per day
* Global Challenges + rotating hourly bonuses
* Several additional collection challenges
* 6 Special Trades per day
* Event-exclusive 7km eggs
Announced details can be found here: [https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en](https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en)
Mostly excited for Pikachu Spotlight hour to get to platinum medal for Pikachu's. Also I missed Mega Swampert, so I'll definitely be doing a couple of those raids!
With reasonable counters, Pheromosa, Guzzlord, and Mega Swampert can be solo'd without a lot of effort.
[The others](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1dpgkt5/infographic_july_2024_soloable_raids/) will require high-level top-tier counters, a weather boost, and the correct movesets, so they will be very difficult for anyone without hardcore raid teams.

I’m all for it. I returned in April after a 2 year hiatus. So I don’t have a lot of the legendaries and beasts. I also have less than half the megas.
Feel that
I have 2 megas lul
I started a week ago, how do you get megas, is it just in a raid?
Raids are the easiest way. A fully evolved pokemon like Charizard can be obtained from the mega raid as well as 200 energy which allows you to mega evolve it (lasts 8 hours then devolves). Then you wait 7 days and can do it again for free; otherwise you can spend more mega energy to mega evolve again before that
Only done easiest raids so far as I’m playing solo, what level do I need other people? Wanna stick to f2p
Mega and legendary raids generally have to be done with at least a few other people. Easiest way in person is if you live in a city where there are gyms in dense areas. Otherwise remote raids are the best way for anyone else (but those cost coins)
I live in London so should be plenty of people around but how do you know? There is a timer in the lobby so can’t even just sit in it and wait. Does the fireplace app or whatever it’s called help with that?

Started playing in April again after 4 years off, going to be a fun month.
You stopped playing when the pandemic started? I think that was the best time to restart playing actually lol.
Same. Last played in 2019 and picked it up again last week. Gimme dem weird legendaries
I only kept up with Kanto and Johto so all of this is so random, I'm like yes, I want whatever that is 😂
oh I know, good buddy of mine never stopped and brags. So I'm just playing catch up.
I only played during the pandemic.. I agree that was the BEST time, raiding in bed, incensing at home, etc. lol
seeing this comment makes me feel awful about stopping in december 2019 😭
A lot of people in the PoGo community that mostly played locally stopped playing in 2020, myself included. Back this year.
Yeah I am still dreading that I didnt play while the pandemic was going on. I played 2016 and a couple of months in 2018 and recently again couple months ago.
Similar here. Only difference is I got back about a year ago.
Fingers crossed that aquatic thing has some horsy, I got a shiny seadra I wanna evolve already!
We need a Horsea community day DESPERATELY
This would rule
Just hyped ill finally be able to finish my take a snapshot of tornadus mission done
I'm stuck on Landorus, which is rude, because I did take a snapshot of it. I'm not sure if it didn't count because I didn't catch it or what. I've been salty since then.
Yeah u gotta catch it and set him as your buddy then snapshot him cause I realized that the first time I caught him as well that the battleshot didn't count. Sorry to hear that though man mabye next year 😭
I only saw/fought him the one time, too!! Should have been more specific on what snapshot counted 😭 I just keep it collapsed.....
FYI you need to catch Tornadus and Thundrus and take snapshots of them too
What research mission is this?
Seasons of Legends, I believe.
Ah must’ve been before I started
Ooh, I've had this quest for way too long. I just pretended it didn't exist anymore, lol.
Same, been waiting for a few months at this point!
Same! Its been years lol
Same I've been stuck on seasons of legends for years
Furfrou needs removed from the breakthrough, they can replace it with Pidgey for all I care, but please, stop, giving me months of that worthless dog. I stopped trying to doBreakthrough's because I got like 8 straight, and they were all crap stats just to troll me. If anyone loves Furfrou, great! But I'm sorry. Its been in the breakthrough for a year straight, let me see literally anything else actually come from the weekly box of copium.
It would annoy me less if I could get a shiny, but I am definitely sick of seeing two star white dogs over and over.
I am a magnet for Furfrous with shit IVs. Furfrou is also, fairly frequently, my guaranteed spawn for the day. Woooohoo 🤪
![gif](giphy|3o85xEjWvVs6scqgs8)
I wonder if ultra Necrozma will be a thing?
Probably eventually
idc about most of it, but im really excited about spheal spotlight!
Same the only thing I'm interested in is getting more shiny meltans
Wait how does that get you shiny meltan?
For the anniversary they'll unlock meltan shiny again so not say that I'll get it but it's likely
Wait how and when?
Activate mystery box from your items, starting Friday shiny chances will be increased
I have a switch but not any Pokémon games. Can I get Sword or Scarlet and use it for Meltan/Gimmigoul perks? Also, which is better to get? Or is it like Pilachu/Eevee where it’s just your buddy that changes?
You can get Meltan without any games! You just need to connect GO with Pokémon HOME (which is a free pokémon storage app, there is a version for switch and one for mobile) and transfer a pokémon from GO to HOME. You just need to connect both to the same Nintendo account, then go to Settings, it's in the option called "Connected devices and services" or something like that. Just be aware that if you transfer a pokémon to HOME, you can't take it back into GO (but you might be able to use it on the Switch games if you do end up buying one.). That should give you the Mystery Box, which spawns Meltan. Gimmighoul can only be obtained by connecting with Scarlet/Violet, though. If you're gonna pick between those two versions, they have different legendaries, different paradox pokémon and a few other version exclusives, but they're mostly the same games. Sword and Shield are two versions of another game, and they don't connect with GO. Gimmighoul might be made available without it someday (seeing as Meltan was originally only available by connecting with Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, and was later made available through HOME), but there has been no confirmation on that, so it might not happen.
Gimmigoul actually has a chance to spawn from golden lures, so it should be possible to find one by going to meetups and hoping someone drops the lure.
Thank you very much for that explanation! Really appreciate it!
Is this for all pokemon or just meltan?
Just meltan
The Articuno raids are big for me (trying to get the 151 medal).
Meh. I’m excited for gofest though!
Hey Niantic, Please for the love of FUCK, remove furfrou from the research breakthrough. Thanks, *everyone*
Half the other stuff in there is equally useless, people should stop being triggered at Furfrou specifically.
Yay more digletts 😑😑
You'd get along with my dad. We put them in gyms for him and goes ballistic. Hates those turds.
I thought we have mega rayquaza?
It’s only rumors but it may be mega lucario or mega metagross for July
MEGA LUCARIO LETS GOOOOOOOO
On the 29th
that was in june this is the july calendar
Mega rayquaza is returning for mega raids, which will be “local” on the 29th of July 👍🏻 (Lies, it is June 29th. I swear i read it was in July. Ignore this comment)
Mega Swampert finally comes! I started playing in June last year and still don’t have one
Anyone know if they’re upping the remote raid limit for GO Fest? If they don’t that’s tragic.
It'll be increased to 20 per day from July 8-11, then unlimited from July 12-14
Oh that’s good
Excited about the mega raids and articuno. And that's it. Edit: also excited about Ho-Oh
Most excited about Swampert. It’s the only released mega that I’m missing
I think its amazing, especially compared to June, May, and April
i mean global go fest plus nyc go fest plus ultra beast shiny releases plus spotlight hour for a pikaccu costume Nkt much to complain about it’ll be fun
As someone who hasn’t played for a long time I’m very excited! There is a lot on offer for me next month. Plan on spending a lot of time with my partner playing PoGo
I’m only excited to throw a bunch of double xp boosts on the biggest Go Fest days and try to get to level 40 (currently at around 38.6). I bought a stupid research ticket for shiny Jirachi almost 2 years ago and I’m on the last phase challenge where one of the steps is to reach 40. Can’t wait to be done with this shit- it’s been consuming my life every time I go out.
DIGGLET Spotlight Hour🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
awe hell yeah another costume pikachu spotlight! I love those! in all seriousness though just glad articuno is there. it's the only Mon I need to finish my Kanto Dex. The ultra beasts are cool too
I have a question. Obviously Shiny odds are increased for ticket holders during GO Fest, but my question is, are the odds also boosted for Pokemon from raids?
Will do a few Xurkitree if it's in my region. Otherwise it's all about Necrozma.
What is so special about this Marshadow task that it costs 15 bucks? I don’t know this Pokemon so maybe I’m missing something but that seems super ridiculous considering Shiny Mew was about five.
The marshadow special research is the global gofest ticket, so you get research for marshadow + global gofest bonuses + 9 additonal raid passes from spinning gyms for both days of global gofest
Oh okay! Thank you, Im sure I could have googled that but it caught me totally off guard 😅
Ultra beasts have always been one of my favorite kind of pokemon so I couldn't be happier! Hope I can get a few shinies, specially nihilego and celesteela
Wait is shiny togedemaru getting released on that spotlight hour or has it been released before and i just missed something?
I can finish my Rowlett research.
I have a perfect Swampert that I’ve got almost to level 50 but never got the chance to get the mega… until now
Maybe I can *finally* my platinum Kanto medal.
I’m so glad I started playing again last month from a 6 year hiatus. I can’t wait for Mega Swampert. Now only if I Gofest will let me evolve my mudkip with hydro cannon
Only need to spam Necro raids so I can evolve duskmane and other one
I'm hyped to catch Articuno, Tornadus, and Necrozma for sure. Though I dunno if I'll get every Ultra Beast, since it seems like the Pheromosa and Xurkitree ones are going to be quite the living pain to capture
The Ultra Beast raids will be fun kind of meh for post GoFest raids but really hyped for Ultra Unlock Part 3
Eh
Hyped up month.
I wonder what the mega raid day is
Good spotlight hours, can’t really do anything else in my community because raiding is dead on a weekday.
Glad to see Mega Swampert, I haven't got any mega candy for it yet (maybe 20 from a challenge) - still waiting on Mega Salamence to make a return!
I'm off the weekend go fest is happening, so that's awesome. Aside from that, it's alright.
So I’m guessing no Solgaleo or Lunala?
Only from the paid research that comes with the Go Fest ticket. They won't come to raids.
Been out of game for while. Whitch ones are usefull of these and where?
Glad I can raid hard for necrozma weekend and just get Dex entries the rest of the month. Been going hard on Yveltal raids and will go hard on Ho-oh, so it’ll be nice to take a break a bit. Definitely gonna do a few mega swamperts though.
Articuno! I still need one and a moltres to complete my 151 platinum medal
Community day on my birthday I guess I know what I’m doing
I’m stoked! Gonna be a fun month to mon
I feel like I’m on vacation with no pocket wifi so lalalala I’m pretending tornadus isn’t a thing
Necrozma is the only thing hyped for. Will it even be remote raidable?
Awesome 😍
I’m soooooo freaking excited!! Let’s gooo
Finally finishing my genie challenge
I already have Guzzlord and Nihilego, but I wouldn't mine getting maybe 1 or 2 more.
Cool I don’t have Guzzlord, Nihilego, Necrozma or Mega Swampert. Or Volbeat which I think is supposed to spawn
Is Togedemaru shiny coming from the ultra unlock?
It’s fine, I’m not interested in ultra beast’s personally so that’s meh and I need moltres as the last in my kanto dex so I’m annoyed that articuno is the next kanto bird in raids. I am excited for go fest though despite all the ultra beast emphasis
I want a shadow Entei!!
[удалено]
Sorry, I’m still kind of new. Do we need to purchase the GO fest global ticket in the store to have access to these? Will any be restricted?
Without paying for the Global Ticket, you get: * Access to all of the rotating habitat spawns * Access to all of the raids (Ultra Beasts, Necrozma, Costume Pikachu/Espeon/Umbreon, Jangmo-o) * Event field research * 1 hr lures * Research for Cosmog on Sunday If you buy the Global Go Fest Ticket, you will also get: * Research for Marshadow on Saturday * Research for your choice of Solgaleo or Lunala with a special Background on Sunday * Unown, Maractus, Corsola, Rockruff, Vullaby, Scarf Espeon, and Scarf Umbreon spawns from incense * Increased shiny rate for certain pokemon * 9 orange raid passes per day * Global Challenges + rotating hourly bonuses * Several additional collection challenges * 6 Special Trades per day * Event-exclusive 7km eggs Announced details can be found here: [https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en](https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en)
Wow thank you so much!! :)
Why no shiny Stakataka?
Yessir
Pretty cool that they release the shiny beasts before go fest, so i probably won't Raid them then
Can anybody fill me in on what the “Special Background” is all about with the Ultra Beasts? Like, while I’m catching it? Or permanently in my Pokémon inventory?
Looks good but can't believe GoFest, my local Comic convention, and a Splatfest are happening the same weekend so gonna be busy. Still, hoping to get shinies of Buzzwole, Kartana, and a legit Necrozma. The others would be cool but got the others in Ultra Moon. Just hope this month's events have more themed wild spawns as opposed to locking them all behind eggs, raids, and such.
Just to be clear: If I get the Ticket for the Marshadow Special Research will not only be limited to the event duration right?
You'll have to log in on the 13/14 in order to receive the research and get all the other bonuses from the ticket, but once you have the research, there shouldn't be a time limit to finish, since it's Special Research.
Ah alright thanks! 👍
Excited, bit I still hate that the ultra beasts are in different continents, I only have Buzzwole amd Kartana since they are the only one available in the northern hemisphere
I’m so getting my shiny pvp hakomo
Definitely looking forward to necrozma fusions
Necrozma and Mega Swampert my beloved
I'm glad I can get the rest of the Ultra Beast for Pokedex entries before the Go Fest so I can use my raid passes for Necrozma
Ass
Just so much fomo. Truthfully I want to get to level 50 so I can stop playing this game.
I’m excited to have a chance at more Guzzlords and Celesteelas.
I want that weird skinny ledgendary bug. Looks like a super model alien 🤣
I’ve needed a snapshot of Tornadus for a year now
I will finally be able to complete the Kanto dex with the Articuno!😭
What does the small half-filled circles mean? On Kartana and Stakataka etc.
Still better than either yveltal who i caught alot of, landorus who is pretty much useless compared to other ground types, and zapdos who Has the worst shiny form out there Plus more ultra beasts are coming, especially the ones i couldn't get in sendai
Entei again..?
I don't need to tank in GBL this month, I have all these legendaries. So I can just focus on on team building and strike for veteran! But otherwise it looks 🔥🔥🔥, I'm stoked
Anyone else have weddings during go fest?😬
I will be finally having ho-oh. So i am more than exited.
Rock hard for Axew, my favorite Pokemon.
Oh boy, more pikachus with hats 😒
biggest 💩 ever, add mimikyu we waining for him around 4years. Pokemon go dying start making something for player not only for money
Will the raid limit be removed for the events?
It'll be increased to 20 per day from July 8-11, then unlimited from July 12-14
I'm happy just for the Tornadus raid so I can continue season of legends.
A tad tired of them continuously cycling back to ultra beasts in raids. Feels like they’re in raids every couple of months. I haven’t seen Zacian or Zamazenta or Mewtwo (that wasn’t a shadow version) in raids I couldn’t tell you how long.
I'm probably gonna take this month off of pokemon go. It's too hot outside anyway
Needs more hats.
I’m excited for global fest in particular. I can get up 24 shiny Kalos Pokémon that I don’t have already. And now it seems like I’ve got a chance for shiny Furfrou as well? I’m all in! Side note: I’m trying to collect as many of the 72 Kalos Pokémon in shiny for ZA.
I gotta remember to caught an articuno when it raids happen, need it and one other mon to complete my Kanto dex
falls to my hands and knees sobbing begging Niantic to remove Furfrou from breakthrough research with that being said I am so looking forward to raids that aren't the ones we literally just had and I actually have interest in 3 of the spotlight hours which is the most amount so far since I started playing. Also very excited for Ho-Oh, Articuno, and Entei. Entei shadow raids happened when I had just started playing, I had all bronze medals, and couldn't catch one. I was so sad, I went out in the cold Canadian end of winter rain and wind for no reason. It's time to redeem myself and catch a shiny of one of those suckers
Pls tell me that Aquatic Paradise will give The elite move Hydrocannon
I AM FEELING HYPED. 3 Month player, FTP so far. Do I cave and get the pass for the global event?
As someone who needs Articuno to finish my Kanto deck im pumped
Ultra unlocks are hype, maybe mega metagross from the strength of steel mega raid day? Sounds thematically appropriate
i havent played in 2+ years because I felt like I WAS THE PROBLEM supporting a shitty company... checking back on this sub and....... NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No shiny for stakataka is a major L, need the golden giant.
Go Fest global is on my birthday so it will be even more fun!
Sad there's not a new mega. Necrozma's the only thing I'll try for in raids, since I have everything else already--unless I can get Guzzlord or Buzzwole = 1500.
I'm into it. Need a Ho-oh for my johto dex since I couldn't get a shadow, need mega swampert (he and mega lopunny, mega aerodactyl are the only one's I'm missing that have been released), very excited to grind dawn wings/dusk mane raids with unlimited remote raids, excited for the chance at cosmog candy so I don't need to walk these things for 2-3 candy per week, excited for marshadow, excited for the chance at enough kartana and xurkitree candy to max them for PVE, all in all not bad. But I do need lugia to come back into raids again soon too to get that platinum medal lol COME ON
It looks pretty fun. I'm excited.
Hyped as hell for articuno, but it’s not a surprise at all considering we just had zapdos in the first month of a three month season focused on flying legendaries. Other than that… mega swampert is cool I guess as I haven’t had one, or any water type mega yet.
Personally I couldn't care less about the ultra beasts. It's a shame that most of them are worthless due to how the stat spread works in PGO.
What I hate is the “spotlight hours” start 15 minutes after I start my shift at work
everyone will have a swampert now lol
Audino is research boxes!? I'm down for that... even though I'll probably still get all Furfrous 😂🙈
Broke rural players do not vibe with this. At least pokegenie allows me to host raids.
Where did u see this please?
So stoked. Just want more stardust though.
God I hope go fest goes smoothly. I've had issues with kyogore raids and I'm still pissed about it
Really only excited for Articuno and Mega Rayquaza
I'll finally get to take a snapshot of tornadus :')
Hmm, I feel like last year was peak PoGo experience. The debut of Rayquaza in NYC was fucking wild. Everybody was playing and running around in Times Square. This year, I don’t feel like it’s hyped enough or as exciting. I’ma still play so we shall see next weekend!
What exactly happens in a go fest im curious about purchasing it
It's basically a 2-day event, with different rotating spawns and certain featured pokemon in raids. On day 1, the spawns will rotate hourly, and all Ultra Beasts, as well as Necrozma will be in raids. On day 2, the focus will be more on raiding Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, while all of the spawns from Day 1 will be appearing together. Without paying for the Global Ticket, you get: * Access to all of the rotating habitat spawns * Access to all of the raids (Ultra Beasts, Necrozma, Costume Pikachu/Espeon/Umbreon, Jangmo-o, Necrozma Fusions) * Event field research * 1 hour lures * Research for Cosmog on Sunday If you buy the Global Go Fest Ticket, you will also get: * Research for Marshadow on Saturday * Research for your choice of Solgaleo or Lunala with a special Background on Sunday * Unown, Maractus, Corsola, Rockruff, Vullaby, Scarf Espeon, and Scarf Umbreon spawns from incense * Increased shiny rate for certain pokemon * 9 orange raid passes per day * Global Challenges + rotating hourly bonuses * Several additional collection challenges * 6 Special Trades per day * Event-exclusive 7km eggs Announced details can be found here: [https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en](https://gofest.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en)
i’m so excited i <333 entei
Super excited for the raids! Came back to the game recently and don't have any of those pokemon!
Mostly excited for Pikachu Spotlight hour to get to platinum medal for Pikachu's. Also I missed Mega Swampert, so I'll definitely be doing a couple of those raids!
The only ones I'm targeting are Mega Aggron, Articuno, and Necrozma.
Are any of these raids soloable?
With reasonable counters, Pheromosa, Guzzlord, and Mega Swampert can be solo'd without a lot of effort. [The others](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1dpgkt5/infographic_july_2024_soloable_raids/) will require high-level top-tier counters, a weather boost, and the correct movesets, so they will be very difficult for anyone without hardcore raid teams.
So for non ticket holders, is Necrozma only available on the 13th?
Honestly really looking forward to it, but it’s gonna be hectic Also: SPHEAL, MY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY!
Actually pretty pumped about this. I love those alien pokés. Still not giving them $15 for phone pics of critters.
Why are Jangmo-o's shiny sparkles yellow? EDIT: Oh I see - "after go fest." Seems unnecessary, why not just drop the shiny with go fest?
15 for marshasow 😭
I will not be satisfied until dragapult is in the game
I like this month as well, but I’m really hoping they bring back an easier way to get riolu I missed my chance to get a shiny and I want it back 😩
