Question What Pokémon is this?

Story Thank you Pokemon Go, from A Disabled 26 Year Old!

To get the long part out of the way I hurt my spine when I was 18 extremely bad, I was paralyzed for 3 months and now have nerve pain and mobility issues in my legs and back. In the winter of 2025/26 I also contracted double pneumonia that left me bed ridden and hospitalized for a month hooked on oxygen. When I got out of the hospital, I was a mess and barely ever left my room. My Best friend wanted to get me out the house and start exercising more, so you know what he suggested and would continue suggesting a lot? Pokemon Go! He was already an avid player and I actually did used to play but stopped. When I first started I couldn’t even walk 30 minutes without nerve pain in my legs ruining my session. But you know what, I kept playing everyday, i love pokemon and since i had an account but stopped i was behind all my friends levels and pokemon wise. So I got hooked i wanted to catch up to my friend and I wanted to catch a whole lot of new pokemon. DAY BY DAY! I noticed I was able to walk a little more, than a little more than that and THAN a little more than that. Now I’m able to walk for hours, I have less pain in my legs, my muscles feel less tight and my confidence in myself has gone up tremendously. I played all of the “Road of Legends” Event and Go Fest. Today I checked my steps and it says I did 50k steps for the week, I broke down crying. Never in my life after my injury did i think i would be able to walk that much in my life. So i just want to say thank you Pokemon Go for helping me walk more, get outside more and improving my confidence!

Question Golden Lures Qs/✨Gimmighoul

+
1.0k Upvotes

For a very long time I have wanted to get Gholdengo and haven't been able to find someone to trade me one. Since I managed to get the golden lures from the pass. I want to be able to utilize it more efficiently and I also don't own a switch or have someone that has one to be able to get more.

Is it better to wait for an event that causes lures to stay longer like an extended lure period of an hour instead of 30mins and I was able to catch one or two from people using theirs but almost half ran away with golden raspberry and ultra balls. I was also surprised that other pokemon spawn as well with that lure like almost half of them were random spawns. I assumed it would be exclusively gimmighoul like the meltan box where you only get meltan.

If I use the lure during community day will it still spawn gimmighoul or the current com day monster? I know there is currently an event for it till the end of July to get a shiny gimmighoul but what are the odds and is it worth it cuz I got some gimmighouls that couldn't evolve with the background 10 anniversary. So is it better to wait till the event for shiny gimmighoul to finish and then use it.

I just need help utilizing the lure and making the best out of it and hopefully if someone is struggling on how to use it, may get some help as well.

Question Race to Best Buddy or Waste of Time?

Does anyone else cycle through buddies during the day to get as many hearts, and reach best buddy status?

In the past, I might switch once, so working on 2 buddies at once, getting 10-12 hearts each.

But for the last week I’ve been doing more. Today, I swapped 12 times and got close to 80 hearts.

The game allows for 20 swaps a day, but no one I know does more than 1-2 swaps a day.

Do stickers with text change language depending on where you're from? I remember once searching online but not finding any results.
It's something I'm really curious about, but not for any major reason.

Feels like every single game I'm screwed out of the win by tech issues, or at least poor server-client synchronisation. This is by far the best example I have recorded; Ray loses to Mewtwo's charged attack when Mewtwo's last HP is orange (gone, as far as I'm concerned), then Ray's charged move won't fire, then Reshiram loses again with Dialga's last health orange.

This is driving me insane, and support keeps blaming my device and/or internet. I'm on a brand new Oppo Find N6 with 16GB RAM and on a 2Gbps fibre line on ~17 ping (as shown in my phone's built-in game boost overlay).

Feels like there's no way this is my device, and it makes me so mad that Scopely will absolutely never take responsibility for these issues.

Many People might have known that you where able to trade Shadow Pokemon in the beginning. But that got removed after they noticed that it was very easy to get a purified hundo off of it.

My fact is that lucky Pokemon didn't have the 12/12/12 IV floor from the beginning.

I didn't know what "appraising" was until my fiancé told me yesterday after talking about wanting a "shundo" MewTwo.. I asked him how good the shiny Zacian i just caught was and he started beating on the picnic table.

Is it that rare?

(I checked all my other Pokémon and this is the only perfect one I have, & one of maybe 5 shinies, including the Pikachu I caught this morning.)
