Chicago go fest had them on incense and they were extremely common.

Ellieanna

Go Fest? I know people who caught plenty from incense.

Ellieanna

I ended Saturday with 2090 (technically 2890 with the CA check in bonus) by only doing 2 azelfs and getting all the particles I could collect.

Went into Sunday with that many to farm sneasels.

Ellieanna

Eternatus - no
Kubfu - I’m not entirely sure. Maybe?
Zarude - was only available for a limited time in 2021 then a pay wall in 2024, so it’ll come back at some point. Keldeo was missing for 4-5 years before it came back.

Ellieanna

No. It’s only evolve or caught during the event. It would mention using a TM if it could.

Ellieanna

Because Go Wild is all amount the Mighty Pokemon, and the GMax event. Not the wild spawns. They are filler and fun.

Ellieanna

The raid pass with the checkmark in the pink circle

Ellieanna

You don't actually use another pass. That icon on it shows you have a pass used and attached to it already. It looks like you do, but you actually don't.

Ellieanna

Only affects raids and wild spawns. Field research and compasses have set levels (some of the legendaries are boosted to 20 to keep it out of GBL great league. Usually they are level 15)

Ellieanna

No

Ellieanna

That’s how all those special mythical catch. It’s either in your inventory or it’s waiting to be caught.

Those special research cannot run.

Ellieanna

There is so many ways for you to find parties to communicate and ensure you can do the raids. Not just diving in with people you didn’t even talk to.

There are apps, websites, discord servers, talking to people on Reddit before the event and making a party.

Or keep joining randoms and have what happened to OP’s mom keep happening.

Ellieanna

People, please stop joining random DMax lobbies. Legendary pokemon are not easy and people will back out. A lot also didn’t know about private lobby, or didn’t get with their friends so a random joining remotely gets ditched.

Ellieanna

If 4 people are in a DMax lobby, the count down goes to 20, so people don't have a lot of time to look at levels at bail without it being "last second".

Plus the game takes time to update they left, so if they left at 20 seconds, it might not show until 10 seconds.

Ellieanna

If you can find who sent the message you can clear it. While it doesn't show in the app, it shows as a notification. But if you removed that, then you have to see if you can find the random person who sent you.

I have had it happen a few times, and it was just gotta deal with it or find the message.

Ellieanna

Sometimes someone will send you a DM that campfire doesn’t share with you. And then you get this.

Ellieanna

There was a generic one that gave a star dust and some dust.

If you didn’t get the million dust research, you don’t get it.

Ellieanna

It won’t give you a background. Special research backgrounds are specific encounters.

You’ll get a special date and location, but no background.

Ellieanna

Looks like the Japan Baseball Collab.

Ellieanna

You need to get closer to the gym to raid those. IT's in person (green/orange passes) only.

Ellieanna

If they do not have a lease with the landlord but the person living with them, it’s not LTB. The blurry lines that might need someone else to say is that since you are taking over, it becomes weird.

The originally person should have dealt with this when they decided to move. Would have saved you a headache. I’m pretty sure you are correct, since it’s non-LTB to non-LTB rental with the lease holder change.

Ellieanna

Then you will have a bit of time, may be best to look for LA or SF groups for the mega raid day.

The lake trio is a 4 man thing, so if people don’t have 4 near the end of the event, they might be done. But you could see.

Ellieanna

You will be pretty tight. It’s from 2-5 local. 5 in PST is 8 eastern. You may find someone in Alaska and Hawaii but that is an extremely limited group of players.

Ellieanna

It’ll be back tomorrow

Ellieanna

You didn’t get an email?
