Honestly at this point they may as well give everyone a shiny Lugia and Ho-Oh and then stop bringing them back for like 2 years.

Ok, got around to finally play again after coming home from my family. Got 3 new entries but they were not easy to find.
Ah just got the ingame update. Yeah, nothing from gen 3 unfortunately.
They're all here to stay. Just depends on how frequent they'll spawn once the event is over.
Hoping someone here can help me with a problem.
I recently got let's go pikachu and have reached the pokemon go park so want to transfer over me go pokemon but I can't seem to connect my phone.
I have a Sony Xperia xz and when I go into settings, Nintendo switch and click on connect to Nintendo switch nothing happens. The option seems to flash blue but absolutely nothing happens. I have tried being ready on the switch to connect in case that was the problem and made sure Bluetooth is on but it doesn't even attempt to do anything on go.
Any help would be really appreciated.

May well be the phone - i have an old phone we use as a spare (samsung S6) and the switch will not connect to it but it connects to other phones fine - worth checking a different phone just in case
The 'connect' thing is also a little confusing - how I do it :
Select connect on the switch
Select connect on the phone
Press the A button on the switch a few times then it comes up asking if you want to connect (yes)
Go to your pokelist on Go and you have a nintendo switch icon just under the search bar - click there and select what you want to move over
Go to the desk at the park and select to transfer - again press A a few times on the switch and then it asks if you want to transfer things over
You need to go to the Options menu on Let's Go (I believe it's press Y), then go through the steps to connect to a Go account. Then you touch the Switch icon on your phone to connect. It confused me too.
Working completely fine on an Xperia X Compact here. I don't know the steps to go through on the Switch part since I don't actually play Let's Go, but two different people with Let's Go have linked with me no problem.
I'm out of town at the moment in a much warmer sunnier place, and there are almost no spawns from the winter event. No sneasel, snorunt, swinub.
I didn't realize how much the snowy weather actually made a difference.
Also, caught a boosted Heatran last night. Shit IVs tho :/
Sneasel raids would be boosted by snow, too, right?

Yeah three breakthroughs this month and all three were Entei
Awesome can't wait for more of that next month. Although I don't have Moltres so 3/8 is better odds I guess. Just let us pick or have it go day by day so we can rig the system a bit.

is it bad that I'm really happy about the two months of research rewards? it kinda takes the pressure off of me to play now that I have em all (I wouldn't mind a better luigia, but like with everything in the game, it doesn't matter).
idk. itll be nice to take most of the winter off apart from CDs or if they do a raid day thing. that way when spring comes ill be super into playing again.
plus it lets people who just started/came back have a shot at getting whatever they are missing out on.
hope they do a month of groudon/kyorgre/rayquaza research. don't have any of those guys
Edit,
also how solo able are machamp raids? I have 6, but my girlfriend only has 1 I think. they pop up daily around my office so if I could solo em and give em to her that would be nice. i'm lvl 37 and have a bunch of unpowered up sky attack moltreses and brave bird ho-ohs. not to mention a few espeons and alakazams w/ double psychic moves

I think the counter argument would be that there are better ways to do this. They could code in choice so players can actually get what they missed while also giving consistent choice in what they grind for candy/shinies. Or just develop a different way to keep legendaries obtainable. Depending on RNG to fill Pokédex gaps in lapsed players isn't going to accomplish much.
Or go back to what they were doing with dedicated months for each. Hopefully someday.
Shouldn't be too difficult. With a 32 Moltres, 25 Moltres, 33 Mewtwo, 39 Exeggutor, 38.5 Salamence, and 40 Dragonite I'm estimated to have 55 seconds left. Some of the calculations replace those guys with other 25 Moltres with virtually no change to the time to win.
This. Finally got my last weekly encounter of the month and...its fucking Raikou. I have like 3 of each beast now because of the randomness of getting one out of 6 legendary.
You can solo the Attack form Deoxys. Tempted to try it but don't want to give up the extra balls.
That's what I said, then I promptly caught it on the first throw.
I am still salty EX invites don't seem to go out everyday it could be 9 months before I catch one lol
I'll report back in 9 months when he stops running away
took me 9 raid to get a Heatrain smh
Not too bad if you've got the team for it. I'm able to do it with a Mewtwo, 3 Dragonites, and Slobro.
Deoxys catch rate is super high. I'm currently 11/11 on it.
I was like 24/24 on Mewtwo when it was ex only.
Oh nice. I'll pull together a team and see if I️ can do it. I️ figured I️ could but if I️ sneak out of work for 20 mins I️ want to make sure I️ get something for it
I'm trying to follow the official guidance on connecting which says to try to connect to your pokemon go account on switch, then go onto go, go to settings, click on Nintendo switch and then click connect to Nintendo switch. I do that and nothing happens on Go, it just stays on that screen and the switch icon never comes up.
Wouldn't have though it would be the phone since its not that old but maybe it is.
The Switch icon never comes up? Then it might be an issue with bluetooth, either on the Switch or your phone. Try it with any other phone first and see if the issue persists. It might not connect with the Switch but at least the Switch icon should be visible with a loading animation.
I'm gonna try doing it in docked mode since some people say the Joycons can interfere plus also seen suggestions that going outside the go park city can help too so maybe that will do the trick.
Sadly can't try a different phone since me and the wife have the same model but hopefully I can get a work around going.
Edit* that managed to get it working, then had to work out how to actually connect when in the park. Very unintuitive overall.
Had to first select the pokemon in go I wanted to transfer to switch and then connect to let's go. Also had it have an error a few times but repeated attempts sorted it out..
Thank god that's done now, process should have been much easier but at least it's done now.

I take it you've seen this reddit post?
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...re_having_trouble_syncing_pokémon_go/e9udva7/
Seems like it can work, it's just a bit glitchy.
So I gave up hatching 7k eggs and started doing 5s. The first two hatches were Croagunks.
If you enter all your Pokemon (or top Pokemon) into Poke Genie (or something similar), it'll tell you which team to make and it's effectiveness against certain bosses. That's how I figured out that my Slowbro is apparently my best psychic attacker.
Added an edit to my last post but managed to get it working in the end. Thanks for helping though.
oh nice! i have that, but it seems like such a pain to get all that info in there. maybe ill check it out however
No way. After the shiny Moltres last week, I just got a shiny Zapdos from this week's Research Breakthrough. Two shiny Breakthroughs in a row. I guess that sorta makes up for a lack of any other shinies found during this event.
Hatched a set of 7 7 KM eggs. Managed two Munchlax, which is nice because he is covered now. I got a new batch of 7 KM eggs, but I'm not going to put them in an incubator for now. Waiting for tomorrow. Hoping for some Riolu in there. Mantyke and Chingling are for in a couple of years.
Is there anything in 5 KM eggs interesting for you? Looking at everything non-7K I'm only interested by Skorupi.
I might argue that there are cooler shiny possibilities in the 5ks, and some things that are rarer in the wild.
In the 5k's I'm at 5/42 that I'd love to hatch:
- Piplup (so close to final evo)
- Croagunk
- Gligar
- Lotad
- Seedot
I never see Lotads and Seedot only rarely. Still need a bunch more for the final evolution. I remember reading there was a point/event where Seedot appeared more frequently but I def. missed that.
