We haven't been able to train at gyms since the whole gym rework update about a year ago. As for the Ace Trainer badge, I'm not sure why it's still there, since you can't lvl it up anymore. Hopefully we'll get "real" training when get a much needed battle system rework (I really hope it's coming) and PVP, which is supposed to come whenever. Quote Link to comment

Tell you how often I visit gyms if I just now saw that Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Seriously, Niantic needs to fix berry camping! I had to go out for a bit tonight and I saw a gym that just turned over. Since it was late and I figured nobody was around, I went to claim it. There was one Chansey in it and I defeated it the first time no problem. Then on the second battle I noticed its HP wasn't dropping and when I did finally defeated it, its HP was fully restored. This happened again, about 3-4 times (guess they gave up) until I finally knocked it out and put my Dragonite in. Then I waited 5 minutes to see if it would get attacked...Nothing. Right as I leave it gets attacked and taken over, but now I see 3 PKMN in the gym, with the Chansey now a Blissey. >_> I did notice another car in the parking lot where I was (saw their dash was lit inside their car). There was probably some dude and his buddies in there doing some late night gym take-overs (good time to do it, since people are asleep) all berry camping that Chansey. However, all was not lost. I did manag to put my Dragonite in another gym just down the road (tried this gym a few minutes earlier, but it sad it was under attack when it wasn't). Still...What a load of BS! Berries campers are the worst!!! Edited April 2, 2018 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
Art_de_Cat Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Pro Tip: If you complete a field research quest but already have the stamp for the day, you can wait to redeem it for the next day to get that stamp. In other research news: Its amazing how hard it is to get great throws now that they actually count for something. At least excellent throws will count for great ones..... alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I've caught 3/4 Latios so far! Quote Link to comment

Berries campers are the worst!!! Berry camping is frustrating, but I don't think it needs fixing. You can only feed 10 per Pokemon per 30 minutes. If you're not in range of the gym, the berry value drops drastically (except Golden Razz), and even if you're in range after the 3rd berry, the value is negligible. Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Caught Latios on the first try. Haven't tried for Latias yet. Have had bad weather here the last couple of days so no chance to really walk for candies towards the Mew quest. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

For the Raids on the Mew quest, you don't have to win. Use a Pass, start the Raid, let the clock run out. If your team dies, don't rejoin the battle, just sit there until the timer expires. You'll get a credit for doing a Raid. And since your Pass is still good until that Raid Pokemon is gone, re-enter the Raid again and do it again. Edit: Lowest group I've done a Latios with was 5 so far. Edited April 4, 2018 by EH_STEVE Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Sounds like fun, especially to meet up with other trainers. Though, it seems like the closest one to me is all the way in NC (the map on their site is messed up). Apparently there is limited space, so you have to register. Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah, not going to travel all the way to Belgium to pick up some trash. It seems like a nice idea but poorly implemented, like basically everything else Niantic does with this game. Quote Link to comment

Ephraim Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 1/2 on Latias at the moment. There was also an Unown event about ~45 minutes from where I live last weekend but ehh, couldn't be arsed. Quote Link to comment

I missed a stamp today because I worked all day and totally forgot about it. I'll get it done tomorrow. I'm on 5/8 for the Mew. Just need to find a Ditto and go out of the way to find the ghosts. Not terribly hard but just need to have the time to look. Quote Link to comment
