I've got a week in Seattle in November with work, I am really hoping that I can pick the regionals up then, ideally a load for trading purposes. (Unless they go "on tour" before then.)

Have a look at your strongest Pokemon, and make sure they have the best moveset.

Tyrannitar, Dragonite, the big 4 legged metal thing, Gyrados, etc...

Make sure your machamp have counter /dynamic punch, they are the strongest fighting by far and nothing coming up will be better. They are also the supreme counter to the current and next legendary.

Chessex, sent you a request the other day - I'm mitre101, got your number from the Wiki here.

One thing I have noted, if you know when you are going to upgrade a friend level you can pop a lucky egg as soon as you open the game and as the details are sent from the server it will give you 2x XP when you get the notification through to your screen.

Got 100K each instead of the normal 50K from doing this with Gatecrasher and another player on here the other day when hitting ultra-friend.

Probably only worth doing for ultra/best levels but something to bear in mind.

Cheers Chessex, I'm OK at sending too (I think).

Does anyone know how the friendship mechanic actually works. For example, say you have to "play" together for 30 days, can one person send a gift a day for 30 days, the recipient open them and that counts?

Or does the other player also have do send gifts? If so, is it a daily exchange that counts (1 gift each per day for 30 days) or is it player 1 sends one (counts for one day), player 2 doesn't send back till 5 days later and at that time its two days (even though player 1 may have sent additional gifts on days 2-4)?

I really have no idea but the PH friend circle seems to be working OK so far!!

Its the 20 limit on opening that's the problem, i have 100 friends so managing it can be tough. Wish you could sort by friendship increased today, or at least adjust by being able to send a gift.

Thank you to everyone that is sending me regular gifts and sorry I haven't been returning the favour.... I've hit a bit of an issue with receiving gifts from stops, it used to be that they'd drop quite regularly but now I really struggle to get more then say 5 on a trip.

Am I missing something or has the drop rate been heavily cut?

I’m exactly the same, Alfaben. The drop rate for me has reduced. Have just spun 4 stops in a row and got no gifts. Heading for Newcastle for an overnight so hoping to stock up!

Isaac Hunt - gift opened but nothing to send back to you! I’ll get you something nice in Newcastle... Ultra friend level achieved, thank you.

Chessex, I joined the Glasgow and the Cumbernauld/Kilsyth groups.

Currently searching for my last ghost for the research task.

100? Wow I thought I was doing well with 24. Even with that I have to skip people now and then. Some pokestops do seem to drop gifts more often than others, or maybe that's just random chance. There was a "migration" (that's where they shake up spawn places) on the 28th, I wonder if gift drops moved too.

As long as 1 side opens a gift then the friendship increases. I try raid and gym battle with at least 15/20 of my friends a day and try my best with the rest, its limited to sending 50 a day and opening 20.

The nest migration is every fortnight, although it does get messed up by events at times. It should be random chance for gift drops. Sometimes when i go round my local park i get a full 10, others i can leave with just 1. The silph road has the numbers for odds on them.

This is exceptionally useful advice.

I shall use this when we get to "Best Friend" level with a few people. I might even start to manage things a bit more then...

Did you know that you can skip the cwtch animation and therefore get loads more catches in busy areas?

Warning - god awful video and the chap doing it sounds like he will always have to pay for sex. On the upside, it's informative, even if it is 4 times longer than it needed to be.

This doesn't work for me. It just keeps the ball selection screen open, which can't be closed.
