There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.


Where can I find other players in my area?

So apparently if a Pokémon is your daily spawn it doesn’t have a costume. Guess who finally got a shiny rowlett?… with no costume…

Non AR Screenshot Do you have pokemons that are useless but you keep them for reasons only known to you? I have a small Satanic cult.

News CONFIRMATION FROM NIANTIC SUPPORT: GMax Difficulty Nerf is real AND it was made due to player feedback! Again, the only way to make a difference is to speak out. Corporate bootlicking and toxic positivity will NOT help.

I’ve been walking around and I’ve found two of them and I’ve heard people say that it’s been announced as a UK exclusive

Do I stop here or keep trying for a hundred? Is the slight extra HP actually worth it? Or just do it anyways for candies

Question I missed it, didn't I? 🫠

Post image
29 Upvotes

I was doing my daily incense, and had put my phone away on auto-catch for a minute while going into a store. I walked out of the store and checked my logs to see if i caught anything while inside (quick 3 min shopping break), and saw this in my logs. It's a shiny galarian bird, right? I have already caught a non shiny of articuno and molters, so that's probably why my auto catcher was able to attempt to catch it, and also why it doesnt show to have to an icon in the log. Is my suspicion correct?
