, mosts parts of the world are still suffering from high transmission rates of COVID-19. Isn't the responsible move here to urge your trainers to stay home while enjoying your app's bonuses? Please reconsider. Thank you.
Finally got my jacket! With the Philippines still being on lockdown, it's impossible to physically be with my grinding buddies, but many thanks to everyone who has helped me reach this goal, especially you. I won't be 50 without you. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏❤
GGEldrich, one of our dear community members, passed away yesterday due to COVID. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and look after yourselves. Stay indoors, if you can, and wear a mask if you have to go out.
Your fighting spirit lives on, brother. Rest in peace 🙏
It was a tough battle with lots of ups and downs, but we made it. We finally hit legend. Thank you so much to my dear coach
@SpenxTz
for everything, for always believing, and to my amazing team

Thank you, Pokémon GO, for 5 wonderful years of blessings. SD and XP were gained but, more importantly, friendships and beautiful memories were made. Here's to the next 5! 🥳🙏

3 days ago, I somehow found myself locking in a team for the PH qualifiers. 3 days later, I end up going 4-2 in a stacked tournament, nearly winning the last match to go 5-1. Ended up in 12th place to move on to regionals. Surreal? You frikkin bet. (1/2)
Depression spares no one, not even the "strong" ones. Check on your family and friends. Make them feel that they're not alone. We're all going through tough times and the only way to survive is by helping each other in our own simple ways. ❤️
Still waiting for my 0.9x 1-5 at Go Stadium to kick in but wow. Never thought I'd get here. My goal this season was to hit Ace, but after my Forest Cup run took me to around 60% of the race to Elite, I thought: maybe. Maybe we can get there. And we did 😊

yknow what's actually sounds more intimate in writing than people kissing? two people slowly moving closer and looking at each other in the eye and /thinking of kissing/ but never pushing through with it o__o
Caught this little boy while doing buddy interactions, appraised it 2+ hours later and ended up screaming 😂 Time to try my luck at the lottery I guess? 🤔
Prayer circle for the next TM event 🙏🙏🙏
It was a heck of a ride this season as I juggled too many issues, but thankfully we made it to legend while saying “One step at a time”. The little efforts, when put together, add up to success 😊
Many thanks to my motivation & inspiration
@TzSpenx
for always believing ❤️
Un-fckn-real. Today, I had my first ever sweep in a big tournament (was only able to get x way-ties in the past) hosted by my lovely community. All the hard work finally paid off 😊
Still can't believe it. What a day.

So relieved and glad to have successfully gotten my second shot today! I won't be going out to grind, still, but it feels so comforting to have that extra layer of protection. Props to the Manila LGU for the quick rollout of vaccines! 🥳🙏
Just when it seems like you've already got the win in the bag, your worst nightmare shows up 😱

It is April 21. Google is down. GSuite is inaccessible. People in digital agencies are mashing F5 and staring at GMail's loading screen while typing on Yahoo search "is google down". People on Twitter are screaming at their screens. It is a dark and strange day.

And Season 2 is a wrap for me! Ended up not doing a weighted Catacomb cup because the one I was supposed to weight got concluded after round 1 😂 Really pleased with my results, though, as my initial goal was to hit Ace. We went on to hit that and even get to Elite, thanks to the
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me get this far, especially YOU 🤗 The final push...started yesterday, actually, and I haven't made much progress on the excellent throws yet, but we'll get there soon! Awesome jacket I MEAN level 50, here we come! 🥳
Thank you for all the support and encouragement these past two weeks! I appreciate you all 🤗 Now, time to bring all the Magikarp emotes! I mean the battles 😎

Managed to sweep my weighted Forest Cup a few hours ago! I wasn't supposed to join, let alone make it my 10x, but I figured I'd just have to cast my doubts aside and put my full trust in the team. And they didn't let me down 💙 Bless you, team 💙

7 best of 5s and 8 hours later, the tournament is finally done. Didn't do as well as I'd like and couldn't get any preps done at all due to work but I had fun with the team (as long as there's no Queen). We'll try again at the next opportunity. For now, we shall have dinner 😂
Never a dull moment with Caleb's line! All matches are so intense and close, you'll be screaming the whole time, even long after you see the win screen.

Also, Azu vs. the world 👉
This is by far the toughest season for me. The meta was shifting every 2 days, real life was a rollercoaster. But with the guidance & motivation of my amazing coach

Thank you to everyone who helped me get through this season. Thank you for the life lessons, S9. Also, did you know that a single boosted Blizzard from AShrew does 69.9% to a Licki? Fun fact 😉
Good luck in S10! 🥳🙏
This month has been TOUGH. I passed on the qualifiers, had to delay doing my weighted cup several times because I wasn't confident with my team, and all those bumps on the road eventually led me to one of the most meaningful wins in my trainer life.

It's been a crazy year because of the pandemic; but if there's anything that 2020 has taught me, it's this: there's always something to be thankful for despite the chaos.
Thank you for the greetings and the support. Thank YOU for making this day extra special. Thank you ❤
2021 was a year of triumphing over struggles both for me and my loved ones, and I feel so blessed to have been able to get through those tests with family & friends. Thank you for making 2021 much more bearable ❤ May our 2022 be filled with success, good health, and happiness 🥳

From competitor to coach -- my goals have now shifted to helping other trainers improve their game! With my buddies Dewgong, Gyarados, and Eevee, I hope to teach trainers the value of keeping calm, working hard, and being adaptable to become the very best.

, please fix your game. Respectfully, someone who was robbed of a win on the same turn of a guaranteed win condition.
P.S. My internet connection was perfectly fine the whole time btw so that’s not the issue 😀
Finished season 2 in the top 1000 globally and top 7 locally -- goal achieved! We'll try to do better in season 3 🙏
Many thanks to my coaches for their support and guidance, and to my scrim partners! You're the reason behind my success ❤️

I don't usually play after midnight but I wanted to get my ELO before the changeover. Somehow we ended up at 2345 which is our best starting ELO so far. Psychic cup was pretty fun tbh. Running into an attack Deoxys though and beaming a Garde? Priceless 😊

#girlsthatpvp
#TimelessCup
retrospective!
Starting with my favorite match from my local tournament. I'd lost the first match and won the second, so my opp and I were really tense. The farming w Dnair won me the round. 🙏🙌😱
Tips for the Wooloo event:
- Hand catch, don’t autocatch (unless you’re eating or taking a break). Try to get excellent throws on all the Wooloo!
- Make sure to mega your Pidgeot/Lopunny/Kanga
- Trade your Wooloo with a friend before transferring 🐑
- Have fun! 🥳
Finally got my starting ELO! Didn't do too well after, though, so I ended up falling dangerously close below the 2100s, buuuut we still have the rest of the season to try to climb. The grind will be hard and tough, but I mean... 2169. I'll take that 🌝
This is why we best buddy our Snorlax. Fighting leads give this team a problem but, with teamwork and some luck, we manage to pull off a VERY VERY VERY close win 🥶

The people who lift you up and make you feel safe and secure -- keep them in your life and treat them kindly. It's not everyday life gives you gifts that can help you become a better person.
Sooo I was able to do a weighted Catacomb Cup, in the end! Wasn't able to sweep (my R4 opponent locked my butt) but I did go 9-0 in matches before losing the last two in the 4th! Now were back in the top 1000 globally, and at 7th in PH!

Insane Saturday -- shared my battles on stream for the first time and managed to solo queue to master. We're improving little by little 😊
Thanks to Yusei for the invite, Spenx for all the support, and to chat who told me to do autorec in the last set 😂 Love you all ❤
So since the game is bugging out during the GMT+8 commday, I'll drop some tips:
- Make sure to mega a dragon or dark type. XL candy gains are so good
- Buddy a Pancham so you can do the catch quests for evolution
- Do AR fast catching
- Turn on auto spinning for your catcher
Reached rank 20 with a starting MMR of 2283 and ended the day at rank 21 with 2314 points. Even bumped into a friend along the way (super close match)! The veeery long grind begins 🥶

It was such a joy to see APAC, a region that doesn’t get too many opportunities to compete at a big stage, take the championship title this year. Congratulations to Yekai for an amazing run! 🥳 Big shoutout to the casters for bringing even more excitement to the battles! 😊
Yo Niantic, I thought we were trying to encourage people to get out and play? Why take away this bonus that can actually help people build their mons to level 50? 🙃

Trainers, we’d like to clarify that there is an error with our infographic for the Sustainability Week event bonuses. The stated “1/2 distance to earn Candy with your Buddy Pokémon” will not be available as a bonus for this event.
Finally got to rank 9 after a long climb. I stuck w master premiere, knowing that I do better with a concentrated meta, and managed to claw out enough points 2 hrs before end of season. Many thanks to

Good leads don't mean polarizing wins! Sometimes they mean the backline is a lot more dangerous and will make the match much much closer than you can imagine.

Today, we face one of our biggest fears in the form of a double shielded fighter as a closer. Did I almost drop my phone after this match because my hands were shaking? Yeeep 🥶
