Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 133343446222!

Looking for more players to join in raids and be helpful on gaining Pokemon

Everyone in the comments section of this tweet is going off on them for being tone-deaf and condescending.

I don't raid much, personally, but Remote Raids were a pretty big help before we got a Gym close by. Before that, the only other one was outside of walking distance. (These changes just suck for players who are disabled, live more in rural areas, don't know anyone close, those with limited funds, etc.)

Edit: they deleted it.

First Pokémon raid I’ve done solo that wasn’t a four-star

I like when people draw the objects with a piece of clothing or accessory, it's really cute...

I love how Lugia shows up and Ash immediately yells "let's have a Raid Battle!"

And Lugia is like "yeah okay" in a way that clearly suggests they know what that is.

Do the Legendary Pokémon just keep up to date on the latest edition of the International Pokémon Battle guidelines or something

Wait, so the frog is capable of gaining weight? (Asking for scientific purposes, not to hurt our Fakie's feelings!)

ah, some more learning about Fake Biology today! ✨✨

in a sense, yes, Fakey is able to gain weight! the way he works is different though: everything that gets eaten/absorbed is directly converted into more of the Goop that makes up his body. so say, a 5 pound chicken, that amounts to 5 pounds worth of Goop added to him. (minus potential things that can't be absorbed, such as bones.)

but here's where it gets interesting; since everything's getting absorbed in the "stomach" area, it leads to all new Goop being formed there, and it only moves to the rest of his body if he allows it to. this can lead to problems, though... if for instance, Fakey were to go out on a day of binge-eating, he'd end up quite bloated unless he's got the strength to properly distribute his new mass. and considering most of the time when he's eaten a lot he ends up sluggish and tired... he usually ends up staying like that for a bit.

... but hey! at least after a bit he'll be able to turn back to normal, once his body burns all that excess new weight off.

however...... on the off-chance that he DOES have the strength to shift that weight properly throughout his body, well, that's a different story. either because he wants to eat more and not feel bloated, or just doesn't want to lie around all day... it's a lot rarer than the former case, but if it DOES happen...

it's a slightly, erm... big problem.

siffrin and isa instinctively helping odile with her fear of heights on the upper floor(/roof???) of the House implies that there was some point during their adventure where being incredibly high up- probably to go fetch an orb- was somehow incredibly relevant. and now i'm wondering what and when that was

Recently, I've been farming this cat on online raids for a bit, and I made some notes... and silly doodles for your enjoyment. :)

The pokemon I used was a Dragalge. If you saw a silly-looking trainer named "Bird" along with this pokemon nicknamed "Cooler" on the Poke Portal, you probably saw me. Hi :)

Here's my moveset: -Chilling Water -Acid Spray -Sludge Wave

My main goal was to weaken Meowscarada, both offensively and defensively, and blast it!

So far I've only seen my boyfriend use Gouging Fire.

Scarlet players, you have great power over this raid boss! You can consistently burn it and do some serious damage, so I highly recommend it!

Now I felt bad for these guys. They were always getting fainted. Pesky secondary typing! Ogerpon, beware Meowscarada's Acrobatics! Once they terastalized, they no longer had to worry about super-effective moves... just the timer. However, with the right team and a little luck, you can still KO Meowscarada on time! Don't give up!

Magmortar and Magmar were very rare for me to see, but highly appreciated! Turn 1: Clear Smog! No Hone Claws for you, Meowscarada. For the rest of the battle, they whittled it away with burns and Acid Sprays.

Persistence is key, this cat loves to reset its status effects!

Finally, my favorite guys to get teamed up with. They can never get fainted! Shell Armor protects them from crits, and they love to boost their defenses.

Torkoal sometimes burns Meowscarada, which is always appreciated.

But Hisuian Goodra... it does a similar thing I did with Dragalge, so we pulled off some great combos together! 🐲🤝🐲

May22 at 10am to May28 at 8pm, local time. These can not be accessed using Remote Raid passes. (Of course. 😒)

Five-star Shadow Raids from May 27 at 10am to May28 at 8pm, local time. Can be shiny.

The following Pokémon will be the first to appear in Shadow Raids! Gyms not under Team GO Rocket control may still host other raids. 1⭐: Shadow Machop, Poliwag, Bellsprout, and Beldum. 3⭐: Quilava, Bayleaf, Croconaw, Sneasel. 5⭐:Mewtwo. 3⭐ and 5⭐ Shadow Raid Bosses will grow enraged as you battle them, boosting their attack and defense.

You can subdue Shadow Raid Bosses using Purified Gems, a new item that can be assembled from Shadow Shards, mysterious gem pieces that may be dropped by Team GO Rocket. Gather enough shards to use Professor Willow’s newly invented Shard Refiner, and you’ll be rewarded with a Purified Gem. There are multiple ways Purified Gems can assist your battle against enraged Shadow Raid Bosses. When you use a Purified Gem during a Shadow Raid, the enraged Shadow Raid Boss’s attack and defense will be lowered temporarily. You and your fellow Trainers can use more than one Purified Gem during a Shadow Raid. If used at the same time, their effects will stack. If enough Purified Gems are used, the enraged Shadow Raid Boss will be returned to its non-enraged state.

Regular non-Shadow Raids will host: 1⭐Marill, Clefairy, Tentacool, Skrelp, Popplio. 3⭐ Magneton, Lapras, Mawile, and Empoleon. 5⭐ are Regigigas and Tapu Fini. Mega Raids are Mega Pinsir and Altaria.

From May22 at 10am to May28 at 8pm, local time, a majority of Gyms will host Shadow Raids. From 10am to 8pm on Saturday, May27, Team GO Rocket activity will spike, taking over all raids.

Wild encounters are Ekans, Golbat, Koffing, Houndour, Poochyena, Stinky, and Skorupi. Rare encounters are Hisuian Qwilfish and Scraggy.

Event bonuses are Team Rocket appearing more at Pokestops and in Balloons.

Field Research focused on defeating Team GO Rocket and catching Pokémon will be available! Trainers can earn a Mysterious Component and Stardust as rewards.

A new avatar pose will be available from the shop:

The Let's GO Special Research that rewards a Master Ball will begin, and can be claimed until Jun1.

Here's the trailer too!
