I had not heard of it until now but it looks nice. Its a bit more expensive and not an official product. Auto catch is done through programming on Go-tcha so not sure if it can be detected somehow.

It's been flawless for me. Connect and forget. I really wish I had this product from the start... would be lvl40 by now if I did haha.

Thanks to a Facebook messenger group, I now have Ampharos (caught in the wild). Excluding regionals, just Unown left now.

About 100,000 xp through level 33 now.

Pokedex 235, seen 240 (only one I haven't seen is Corsola)

got a pogo plus today. I'd be level 40 if I had this all along.

Keep in mind pogo plus will only use regular balls so save a bunch.

[Raekwon]

Nice, got Zapdos first try. only 76% IV but I will take it.

[malcolmk14]

Got my first three then lost 5 in a row including a 98% one!

3/8 on Zapdos.

[You Need a Thneed]

One ball thrown, one Zapdos caught.

Reminds me why I sold mine. I only keep about 10 reds.

If there is anyone in Airdrie that is not part of the Airdrie discord for organizing raids and alerting rares let me know and I will send you the invite code. Don't raid without it!!

Ha no kidding don't raid without it.
Have recently relocated to 'rural' Chicagoland and pretty much right away stumbled across a discord for the area. Always easy to find enough, where otherwise numbers would be impossible to find (without the trek to downtown). Not sure if all are like the one here, but rare and ultra rare Pokémon also announced, with maps link.
Excellent stuff

I haven't done a lot of gym battling, but I've finally upgraded and team to the point that I can take down gyms.
It's so frustrating when you've finished off all but 1-2 of the most powerful pokemon still in the gym, and they're down to low 100s combat power, and you're healing your team to go again, and someone remotely drops (golden?) raspberries to bump their pokemon back to full power.
What do you even give the pokemon to bump a Blissey from ~300 to 3000 in less than 30 second?

Yep Discord has changed my life. I've got 4 Unowns in the last couple weeks, and it's always easy to find a group of fellow Instinct to raid with.

Golden Razz bumps it back up to full health.

I never mind. More gym XP for me.

Can you train at your own team's gym again now?
I could have sworn I had the option to either spin or battle

No more training/raising prestige. Once you take over a gym, 6 Pokémon can join it.
There is a pokestop in gym you can spin.
You can raise 'motivation' of Pokémon in a gym by giving them a berry, but there is not much point in holding a gym more than 8.5 hours.

Which is what I thought, but I was out running and passed a gym controlled by my team and I swear it gave me the option to battle, when I was trying to hit the button to spin.
I didn't really even register it until I was a block away, so I didn't bother returning to look at it again though.

Could it have been the add Pokemon button? They look pretty similar and are in the same spot.

That's probably what it was. Gym looked full, but it could have easily been 5 instead of 6.

For those with the go-tcha, does it use any of the pokeballs or just the regular ones? I've got one coming in the mail at some point.
