I'd purify it because a level 25 100% Houndoom is a lot cooler to me than a level 5 (or whatever) 95% Houndoom that looks cool. But then I don't really care about looks, I purify or transfer all my Shadow Pokemon.Asking the crowd:
I have a 14-15-14 Shadow Houndoom. Obviously, purifying it turns it into 4*. But Shadow Pokemon look cooler.
So the question for the crowd: Do you purify for a hundred or keep it shadow?
It looks like I still have Go Fest spawns on my radar (US EST).Have Go fest spawns ended early? According to leekduck there's 18hrs left, but it looks like normal.
Strange, haven't had a chance to go out yet, maybe it's just my neighborhood.It looks like I still have Go Fest spawns on my radar (US EST).

From what I recall, not a great fire attacker but it is the second best dark attacker (albeit behind Tyranitar, so I never really use it). Decent option for a second dark team.Its a level 9 so I'd have to power it up.
How useful is Houndoom? I guess it depends if a 14-15-14 Shadow is better/worse powering up than say a 100% Houndoom is.
Anyway, I just hatched a shiny Alolan Sandshrew, one of my favourite Pokemon, so I'm pretty happy right now.
You can do it whenever's best for you. I'm at level 40 so the XP isn't important.DanGo and PeeWeeeeeeeeeeeeemp either of you wanna egg for ultra?
You guys are all much more reliable for gifting than locals, thanks.
Honestly Mystic7 is much more digestible, I used to prefer TrainerTips but recently his videos feel like Go is not the main focus plus I feel like he needs to eat every time I watch himRandom but of the poketubers whom would you guys say is the most pleasing to watch?
The game also appears to be draining my battery faster than ever before.
I will kill for those hatches. Never hatched a Riolu outside of one Adventure Sync egg and I really want shiny PichuOnly good thing with all the bugs at the moment is that the game seems to pick up distance travelled on bike as well lol
At home it's rather rural and I need to take my bike because stops are ~200m apart. Normally it only picks up a fraction of the distance unless I ride extremely slowly to the point I might as well walk. Since the last update I'm blasting through eggs. Hatched a 5 km egg in half an hour this morning lol
Reminded me to never buy incubators again as well. There's just so much terrible stuff in them. Of all the eggs I've hatched I got a shiny Pichu and two (terrible) Riolu.
The vibrations are different between Pokemon and stops, so you can learn the difference if that's what you mean. The logic for it is quite stupid though, it goes through all nearby Pokemon before trying to go through nearby stops. It really sucks when you're out of balls and it keeps trying to catch a pokemon instead of spinning the stop first.Does anyone have a Pokeball Plus? I'm thinking about getting one, but I'm curious if the device offers vibration notifications for nearby Pokemon and stops as opposed to just different colored lights. I want to get one for a trip, but I will be outside in the sun most of the time and don't want to have to discern light colors in the bright sun to see what's going on. Does the Pokeball Plus have an option to just vibrate when a Pokemon or Stop is nearby?
I hatched a second shiny Smoochum so I guess this event was somewhat a success for me.
2 of them :P
Well to be fair, the only wild shiny I am missing that isn't a hat Pikachu or Lunatone is basically just 1 more shiny Duskull to complete the family.damn
and you're still not satisfied
I don't know what to say to that lol

Other than that, shiny babies/Alolans are all I have left to collect.

So just to confirm, the device does indeed vibrate when a Pokemon pops up? So if I had it in my pocket, I could just note the vibration and tap the top of the device to try and catch?
Why not get the Gotcha instead? It does it all for you and isn't unwieldy.

I was interested in geting the Gotcha until I read that it's against the TOS. And at this point there's no way I would take even a slight risk in getting my account banned.
It vibrates for both and each can be toggled on/off
It prioritizes pokemon, I turn off the pokemon vibration when moving at higher speeds so stops can auto spin (auto spin requires a switch and Lets Go game btw)
If you're going to buy it i'd recommend giving it a few test runs to see how well it syncs with your device. Mines requires constant phone and app restarts to sync and even then it's quite inconsistent. When I checked for solutions I saw plenty of other people saying the same.
Nobody has ever gotten banned for using the Gotcha and nobody ever will. It uses Niantic's implementation of Pokemon Go Plus.
There are a lot of things that are technically against the TOS that Niantic can't/won't do anything about.
So when a Pokemon appears, or a Stop is in range, the device will indeed vibrate? That's really all I'm looking for. Will the vibrations be different for a Stop vs a Pokemon that appers?
Yeah, I know a lot of people use them. I just came across Niantic's response on Twitter on the Gotcha and just don't want to take any chances.
Today was a good day. Did a Ray raid in the early morning and got my first shiny on the alt account. Then later in the afternoon went playing with friends to hunt for shiny Poliwag or Sneasel (nope on both), and I got a shiny Ray for my main account. That was my 38th Ray. Then at the end of the afternoon I got a shiny Luvdisc.
Spawn rates for Poliwag were way too low to get a good shot at one, even if I did check quite a few total. Felt like Nidoran all over again. Not getting Sneasel was disappointing because of the boosted rates ánd getting more checks in than Poliwag. But I got 2 shiny Rays so I'm really happy.

Yeah, it's not really great. Have stopped using it as well. It was ok during winter time but I won't be running around with it during summer.Pokeball plus is a total shit product regarding its Pokemon Go usability. I got it for cheap with Let's Go and that's the only positive thing I can say about it.
It loses connection way too often, it's bulky and thus especially impossible to use without looking like a doofus in summer, it vibrates way too hard/loudly to use it in a work/silent environment, you have to actually press it to catch a Pokemon and the catch rate is bad to top it of.
I've only used it to spin Pokestops automatically but since one update in April/May that only works sporadically, so I've completely stopped using it. I know little about the gotcha but it can only be better.
