Same.
I don't know but I'm interested to hear how it works out for you if you go again. Could just be bad RNG.I wonder what the shiny rates for Sneasel are now and if they changed them again? I went to a pretty large nest today and walked around for hours and was sure I was going to find one, but I didn't get any. I checked a ton too. It's pretty far away so I don't think I'll be going for round 2.
If these things are 1/60 ish I did have bad luck. I did hatch my 4th shiny scyther lol.I don't know but I'm interested to hear how it works out for you if you go again. Could just be bad RNG.
I totally just saw this now, but he messaged me like an hour ago saying "nooooooooooooooooooooooo"
So I recently picked up a Pokeball Plus, but I'm having connection issues. I've read that you don't need to have Pokemon Go open in order for the Plus to detect Stops/Pokemon and catch them, but you do have to have Bluetooth enabled.
My Pokeball Plus works fine whenever I have the game open on my phone, but whenever I close out the game, nothing ever happens on my Pokeball Plus. And when I reload Go on my phone, I find that the Pokeball is disconnected. Whenever I close out the app, it disconnects from the Pokeball Plus.
Not sure what's going on.
You can't have the app closed it needs to at least run in the background
If you can see the pokeball plus icon in your notifications it's working

Venture out to take on challenges and make discoveries. As always, happy exploring, Trainers!
Stay tuned for more details on August 20!
Returning to the fray after a while. High time I actually bothered building a friend's list... So hey there! I'm probably the friend request you just got.
It might be the Kanto regionals in Rocket battles, or maybe just the wild. I think it was noticed that Farfetch'd had its shadow form added to the backend recently.
Sounds like:
Week 1: Johto pokemon event
Week 2: Regional event (?) + Deoxys in 5* raids
Week 3: Increased spawns for rare pokemon + Raikou/Entei/Suicune in raids + Kanto regionals in eggs
Could be the wild, I guess, I just based that on what they did last year. Seems like a decent chance they'll add shiny Kanto regionals, so I'm not sure about team rocket battles.I was interested in grinding a bunch of these gift eggs, but damn, I'm only getting one egg out of every 4 or 5 gifts, so that's not working out. Maybe that's for the best, I'm not actually hatching anything good, and there will probably be regionals back in eggs soon to desperately grind.

Also, maybe a limited selection of Unown for week 1 or 3?
I guess one week for each form would be okay, assuming they aren't releasing the shiny.If they add Deoxys for a week I wonder if the form will be random? Because I'm doing a speed form raid today, I only need the Normal form.
Gen 5 in week 3 would be nice, although it's hardly surprising to see them soonishFrom reddit
If you take the paragraph of text for week 3 and sort it out into one sentence per line the first letters spell Unova which is the region for Gen 5
Yeah, I have it active but I'm only missing the Gible line, so there isn't exactly much for it to notify me about.Getting the regional would be so nice. Sounds like September is going to be packed with awesome events.
Also apparently there's an Adventure Sync 2.0 that's rolling out in some regions which notifies players when a new Pokemon is around.
Eh, Deoxys isn't good enough to waste an entire month on it, even if it does have four formes. All I want is the Normal forme to fill in my dex and then I'm done with it.I guess one week for each form would be okay, assuming they aren't releasing the shiny.
Random form raid would be optimal for Arceus with all the different forms I guess.

Well, I don't care about it at all. But I think for more casual players/raiders in more rural areas, a week per form is hard enough. 4 random forms in a single week sounds like hell, might as well just put it in the research breakthrough to be honest.Eh, Deoxys isn't good enough to waste an entire month on it, even if it does have four formes.

Well they only mention it during that one week, so it seems like that's what's happening. I guess they could just release Normal forme in raids and leave Attack/Defence/Speed as EX raid exclusives for now.Well, I don't care about it at all.

It's far from the first time it's happened.As excited as I am to get a Farfetch'd or whatever, I'm not sure how keen I am on making region exclusives available elsewhere, even briefly.
Oh really? Then never mind.
Okay, let's speculate in detail, I haven't done that and it's always fun.Well they only mention it during that one week, so it seems like that's what's happening. I guess they could just release Normal forme in raids and leave Attack/Defence/Speed as EX raid exclusives for now.
My guess is they'll bring back Lugia and Ho-oh for week 1, since it's focused on Johto. Week 2 is obviously Deoxys and whatever formes they decide to release. And then week 3 is Suicune, Raikou and Entei.
