I love how they saw the complaints from people about only being able to get one Sinnoh evolution a week (which I had absolutely no problem with by the way) and made it worse by making them not guaranteed lol

I see people saying they have Melmetal or hundreds of Meltan candy already, how is that possible?

I'm trying to make new friends for that quest, I've added a few of the most recently posted friend codes here, my code is:

Using rare candy makes it possible,

I'm at 140 with the special research and two mystery boxes.

Very off for those raids to be gone... Not 1st time a raid exclusive (well, basically almost exclusive) to be gone, but that was during an event (1 of the many Kanto I think?). But during a non-event..

I did get 1 shiny Shinx. Still need 2 more

Shinx isn't raid exclusive though, you can get it through 10k eggs

My bad luck continues.

I claimed the Research Breakthrough after the update and no Sinnoh Stone for me.

And my problem regarding potions is critical now. Even in Gyms that I am defending:

I can not battle anymore. =/

Yeah potions and revives are scarce af. You pretty much have to rely on opening the 20 gifts a day since stops have even more of an abysmal rate. Then you have the CP rebalance that gave almost everyone more HP which directly affects your potions stack.

I transferred a Pokemon to Lets Go and got a box that lets me catch about 8 Meltan every 7 days, so it will take months to evolve one at that rate, is there more to it than that?

Rare candy makes sense, I've only ever had 3 rare candies and used them on Dratini.
You can trade them for distance and you get 3 candies instead of 1 for transferring. If you catch 8 every time with Pinap, and trade every one for 3 candies, you could get enough in 5 weeks using just the boxes.

If you transfer ones traded from others you might be able to knock it down to 4 weeks.

The box spawns 10 Meltan. There are glitches though from what I've heard that might reduce that number sometimes

Should be 10, for 6 Candy each with a Pinap. That gives 60 Candy. Transferring all 10, gives you 10 extra Candy. This means we end up with 70 Candy each week, about 6 weeks to finish them off.


If you trade, you get candy based on the distance between the Pokémon's catch location. Can be up to 3 Candy. If you transfer them then, you'd be talking about 100 Candy per Mystery Box.

By trade for distance do you mean set as your buddy and walk with it for candy? (Edit: Never mind answered already) I got 9 Meltan so I guess i missed out on one. I also didn't think to use Pinap berries, ugh..

Thanks for all the advice everyone, Go confuses me sometimes :)

I still hate that the Meltan is 20KM for one candy. That's absolute garbage. I understand its a "legendary" or Mythical or whatever it even is, but that's still super stupid.
I ended up doing mine on Sunday then realized I don't always go out on Sundays so I'm waiting for Thursday (my general out and about day/picking mom up from work in the evening) to do them. I think I got a total of 6 so far and I had no pinaps to use :-;

ugh, i hope they increase raids too. Now I'm gonna have that dumb 10 raids thing coming up next on the Meltan quest line which will be just peachy.

Got an Ex-Raid Pass, woohoo. Only my second one ever, and this time I should be able to attend.

Definitely not really interested in any of the current raids...especially since I finally got a shiny Mawile the other day.

But I do feel like I'm just wasting a dollar not using a free raid pass.

I'm waiting until after 1pm to claim my special research just in case they flip another switch and adjust the rewards. I want a second Sinnoh Stone!

There's no way I'd waste rare candy on Meltan. Just be patient. Spend the rare candy on the stuff that you don't actively have a chance to catch, like legendaries. You can always get the Mystery Box once a week and catch a few more Meltan.

It's a shame the current raid pool is pretty lame, but I guess I'd still be happy to find a Shiny Aerodactyl. At least I can solo all of the current Tier 3 guys except for Jolteon. I'm sitting on 68 raid passes so I do Tier 3s whenever convenient, since I don't need to coordinate anything.

For anyone living in the LA area, what's the best place to go for Community Days in terms of spawns and clusters of Pokéstops?
I believe there's a stretch in North Hollywood around The Great Wall of Los Angeles that has tons of stops and gyms that's really popular.

I haven't done it myself. I live right by downtown Burbank so I usually just roam a couple streets there.

I'm waiting as well. Waiting paid off last time when I was able to get the Stone minutes after it came out. Knowing Niantic, they could easily change it later today and, if not, just open the box tomorrow and hope, I guess.

I just got a notification talking about Kabuto and Omanyte being fossil Pokemon. That along with the focus on rock types in the raid battles makes me think we might be getting another Adventure Week or whatever it's called with the introduction of the gen 4 fossil Pokemon Rampardos and Shieldon

I have 3 days until my 7-day research rewards.

Hope they still give everyone a free Sinnoh stone to makeup.

Anyone else having a problem where sending a gift to a friend sends you way back up the list of your friends? I'm having to scroll 50+ people each time I send a gift because it keeps reseting me near the top.

Yup, it's a new bug. They made the scrolling and loading smoother in the friends list but introduced this bug. One step forward, one step back. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

Got an EX Raid invite for 10 AM on Thursday next week. I'm usually game for EX raids around my workplace, but this time I have a schedule conflict with actual work so this might be the first one I ever skip.

I would like the older augmented upgrades like the King's Rock to be refitted into a one size fits all stone. I've little use for 5 or 6 different things to keep appearing.
