Call home feature would be great

(This screenshot is just an example, I’ve had Pokémon out for over a year before 🫩)

I think they should add a feature to call home your Pokémon from gyms the same way you can call them home from power stops.
I know they probably won’t do that because people would take advantage of the 50 coins a day, but I’m tired of leaving my Pokémon out for weeks or months at a time.

The Pikachu in the picture has been out for almost a month but the other Pokémon in that gym have been there for 100-190 days and I know my Pika is gonna stay there a lot longer.

Edit: Some of you commenting rudely are acting like you wouldn’t use this feature if it was available lol

Worth investing?

I evolved this guy for the shadow dex but I also know people say that shadow Pokémon are better battlers regardless of stats a lot of the time.
Is he worth keeping and investing in? Or is it off to the candy factory for him?

Worth powering up?

I don’t do a ton of dyna/giganta battles so I’m not sure what’s worth evolving and/or powering up for those
This is the best dyna Magikarp I’ve gotten, is he worth evolving and powering up?

So saddening

Been playing for 10 years (granted, I was slow the first year or so because my phone at the time didn’t support PoGo so I played on my iPad at home) and have never had a shundo

I’ve got 760 shinies (I’ve caught many more than that but I used to transfer extras before remote trading became a thing) and I’ve got 83 hundos, BUT NO SHUNDOS

When did you get your first shundo?
How long did it take?

What team do you use for GBL?

I’ve been playing the Competitors Cup 1500cp league lately with these guys for my team and I’ve gotten to level 20 but I’m stuck and can’t seem to make my way to Ace

Any advice on my team or my moves? Should I change up any of my Pokémon?

I’ll never find a shiny 🥲

Edit: Found through a trade!

I’ve been playing Pokémon Go since day 1 and have been shiny hunting for Tauros since shinies were introduced and I still have yet to find one even after 1,076 encounters.
The internet says the shiny odds for Tauros are 1/476, how am I so unlucky?

An interesting hatch!

Just felt like sharing this, it’s just kind of interesting to me!

So I hatched a Tyrogue and I was wondering why it was giving me a ? for the evolution because I know that it will evolve based on its highest stat
(Highest IV being attack, it’ll evolve into Hitmonlee
Highest IV being defense, it’ll evolve into Hitmonchan
Highest IV being HP, it’ll evolve into Hitmontop)

Turns out it’s a completely random 1 of 3 because its stats are all 14/14/14! There is no “highest” stat to evolve upon!

Definitely going to keep it and not evolve it just because it’s kind of neat

Two winners will be chosen

To enter:
•Must be able to fly to me or be willing to wait until forever friendship (please specify in your comment which you’ll be doing)

What do I do with all of these?

I’ve got like 30 Professor Pikachu, some with the Instinct background, that I don’t know what to do with.
I know I want to keep one or two for myself and I should probably keep at least a couple for potential trades in the future for people who may have missed this event, but how many would you keep? What would you do with these? Help 😭
