Niantic has officially announced the Pokémon GO Travel event!
From now until to November 26th, trainers across the globe must work toward the goal of collectively catching 3 billion Pokémon in Pokémon GO! As the week progresses, and more ‘mons are caught, rewards will start to roll out: At 500 million Pokémon caught we’ll get 2x Experience, 6 hour Lure Modules and an increase of worldwide spawns. At 1.5 billion, we’ll get the previosuly mentioned bonuses plus 2x Stardust and even more increased spawns. And if we reach our goal of 3 billion we’ll get all the aforementioned rewards plus Farfetch’d will spawn worldwide for 48 hours (Kangaskhan will spawn in East Asia as compensation)!
If the below infographic isn’t your style you can check out the fun video Niantic put together for the event, or read their official blog post.
In main game news, (much to our surprise) Pokémon Bank is already compatible with Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon! Requiring 516 block, version 1.4 of the application is now available for download via the eShop. Along this, compatibility for transfers from Pokémon Gold & Silver can now be made in Poké Transporter.
What will be the first Pokémon your transfer to your new Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon games? Excited to finally add Farfetch’d to your Pokédex in GO?
Ok, my phone’s feeling hot for some reason, I just turned it off and it hasn’t gone away
I say give it a few mins you probably used it too much a it needs a cool down
Well, it was on most of the period when it was updating Dokkan, so maybe
Put it in front of a fan or put it in the fridge for a few minutes
If you can just blow on it and wave it around
Lunge is 100% top 5 most broken and underutilized pokemon moves
How so? Better than Leech Life on Araquanid?
As of now? It depends on the set
This maybe true, but I have one move that is top 5 most Broken early game moves
Headbutt, has higher attack power than most moves at this level and flinch
That’s true that’s true
Would Storkarnage be a good name for my Dark/Flying Stork Regional Bird?
I like it.
A bit long, sounds very midstage
Talonflame though.
Hmmmmm
Maybe short it up to Storknage?
(And I actually really like the name of the Midstage of this line, ”Alkatross”)
Alkatross?
The mon’s based on criminals, it’s Alkatraz + Albatross
But isn’t it a stork?
It’s a Seagull to an Albatross to a Stork. Changing species it’s based on is common for Regional Birds.
Hmmm….. okay
Sooo… do you think Storknage sounds better than Storkarnage?
Ehhhh not really
You don’t NEED to use the word stork in its name
I kinda want to make what it is clearer and the two other stages in the lines have their species name in their names too, so I’m not sure… I’ll think about it
I think it’s hindering it a bit
How about Storkrush, Storkicide, Storkill?
I thought about Storkill and I don’t really like the way it sounds, Storkicide doesn’t do it for me, but Storkrush is pretty good. Thanks for the suggestions!

This is what happens yo
YOU HAVEN’T SAVED IN AWHILE, WANNA DO IT NOW??
What?
Rotomdex is annoying.
…what?…
What Govnah said was what Rotomdex says.
That wazzz a great photo, kiddo! It makes me so happy, Im gonna start up the Roto Loto!
I actually never found Rotom Dex annoying
It seems like your team could do with some healing! Do you want to check your Bag? You might have some healing itemzzz!
After hearing it in the show, it stopped being annoying
lemme guess, you played for about two minutes and he said it?
Youre a lucky one, buddy! Such a big city, and youre still the only one with a Rotom Dex! Zzrt!
Hey remember my regional Bug, the Peacock Spider well its got a name now
Hylluweb
Hypnosis, Hallucinate, Illusion and Web all roles into one menacing Bug/Psychic type
I was hoping for Tarantucock but oh well ;P No but really is this the first stage name?
No this is the final stage name, but I don’t have first or second stages yet
I had a thought kaleidicoon could work, but sounded a little long
Head-canon time. My first time so please pardon how bad it is. Pearl the Trumpbeak had journeyed with Astolfo the Primarina and her trainer for a while-simply enjoying the time that she has been with them. At Paniola ranch she sees a wild Pikipek who always gets into trouble. At first she thinks that Pikipek is quite troublesome, but when her trainer and her were about to be run over by Tauros, that Pikipek jumps in to save them from a stampede of Tauros, evolving into a Trunpbeak herself. Despite the times that Pearl has spent with her trainer, she felt the need to help this newly evolved Trumpbeak. So the trainer and her decided it was best for them to part ways and continue their own journey.
(This head-canon was made in order to give a story to my decision to switch out Punk the Glaceon for Pearl).
Now for the Trainer’s side of the story. A newly hatched Eevee was just stumbling along and started following a Rogue Alola-Vulpix, when the Vulpix was suprised when the Eevee bumped into it and accidentally attacked a Tauros at Paniola Ranch. Thus, a stampede ensued and the Trainer was caught in the mess (resolved in Pearl’s departure story). Afterwards the Alola Vulpix walked off leaving behind a fragment of an Icy Rock from Mount Lanakila. After taking it, the Day-care has asked the trainer to take care of the Eevee-which he decided to do so.
(A story of departures and greetings).
It has been 12:19 of gameplay and I am just about to tackle the second trial. I ended up getting overlevelled so I hope it doesn’t make the trial too easy for me.
Astolfo the Brionne Lv. 25
Punk the Glaceon Lv. 23
I won’t be getting a 3rd Pokemon until after the the 3rd Trial, so hopefully this will tide me through. I am probably going to avoid wild encounters now to make sure that my level doesn’t get too high.
It’s a Water trial so you should have a challenge even if you are over-leveled.
I just want Govnah Dex to be quiet during my trial, is that too much to ask?
YOU HAVEN’T SAVED IN AWHILE, WANNA DO IT NOW?????????
If it were not for your new features you would be in the bottom of Brooklet hill by now.
I personally like him
The 2nd Trial was way too hard. Both of my Pokémon were easily 4 levels over it but they barely put a dent on the Totem. I nearly thought I was going to lose.
Favorite new themes in USUM? Mine probably the wild battle remix & Warp Ride
I have so many I like it’s hard to choooooose
Ultra Jungle
I like the Mewtwo theme too, bit of nostalgia with a modern twist 🙂
that was from X/Y but its still great 😀
Oh i never got mewtwo in X/Y
Team Rainbow Rocket Theme, Ultra Warping Theme (I decided I’ll just call it that), and Cyrus’s Theme
The Beach themes are awesome 🙂

Ok, I’ll stop after this, I swear

In the middle of the 3rd Trial. The trial is difficult if you are not apart paying attention.
Punk the Glaceon Lv. 27
Astolfo the Brionne Lv. 26
And guests have arrived at my house. Guess I will have to put it on hold.
I can’t continue either, my brother is hogging the charger and my DS died
Pretty bored….I kinda feel like playing BOTW but I feel I should be painstaking focusing on USUM
Play BOTW if you really want to my dude. It’s pretty great
Ughhhh I still need to get all TMs, Totem Stickers breed my IAN Team and several other Pokemon, re-organize my legends box and start buying competitive items
Hmm you guys got a name for a typical common house spider that is a first stage?
Weblet
Ooo I like it
Weblet -> Kaleidicoon-> Hylluweb
Bug -> Bug/Psychic -> Bug/Psychic
Now I’ll need to make abilities, moves and other interesting aspects
Make sure the base stage ability is different from the others as you’ll want to reflect the type change.
Hmm I’m thinking something like Swarm for it, then some new ability for the others
Maybe consider Compound Eyes and Tinted Lens too.
Larveave
(Larva-Weave)
Anyone have a Stakata? I need to trade. I’ll give you a Blacephon in return
What ball for Yanmega?
Net
Depends, Shiny or Normal
Shiny Beast or quick
Normal, Nest
I kinda find it terifying that my phone can see which pictures have my cats on them without me knowing about that
Take a picture of Incineroar and see if your phone recognizes it as one of your cats.
I think the phone would shutdown. I think it would die instead of remembering something that horrifying
I mean he’s typed the word Decidueye before so it’s obvious his phone can survive horrifying experiences
There’s a ghost of a chance you’re right about that. Don’t be a grasshole
I’m on fire with my dark af shade
They ask water you doing? I say being fairy shady
AAAARGH
My brother has zero consideration towards anyone around him, he tears apart the basement to make room for his VR sensors, and moves my desk with amy delicate and fragile gaming mouse (which is extremely old) without my permission and it’s all gnarled, and on top of that he stunk up the place with pot smoke and incense
and I actually believed his bull promise to put it back together
Wow I feel stupid, for a second I thought I found a Shiny Wingull just to realize I was wrong
Sometimes I think ‘mon momentarily flash their shiny colours before returning to normal, happens to me with eggs.
I broke my record! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fc72022873adfba0f4173e28e3abc4e67763c802692f3de47f86bc04808d22f3.jpg
Ur the highest rn in the jungle by 100 points.
https://youtu.be/6FgrR4li2tc
I’d be high if I literally didn’t get dicked by a triple shock thingy
I was on fire I would’ve been longer but the….shocker or whatever we call it ricocheted me into a lame-o ringless portal
I’m callin em bangarangs now
Well I was able to get 5 minutes to myself before we left for food. Punk the Glaceon did well against two Fire types, bringing the Totem down to half health before fainting on the third turn of combat. Allowing for Astolfo the Brionne to sweep it up by defeating the Ally Pokémon and the Totem Pokémon respectively. So far I am quite happy with the improvements made on the Trials. Also I am enjoying these games a lot more now that I know that there are worse things to do now than playing games that are a little bit too similar to SM: entertaining guests.
So when do you think it’s safe to discuss Ultra Wormhole environments?
To be fair they’re just corridors
Outside of the actual UB ones sure
I’d say give it at least another half a week. That way people that aren’t blazing through can get there.
I’d spoiler Guzzlord’s maybe for a bit more time but to be honest we saw every other ultra beast world in trailers so I’d just discuss them
just use spoiler tags
Id say wait a week
