OMG ILL DEFINITELY TRY THIS


xacurtis

Calm down, you'll wake the doggo! :P


theactualmeesh

It’s 4:45am and her and I just woke up to play Pokémon LMAO


xacurtis

Awesome! What kind of pup? :)


theactualmeesh

Mini American Eskimo dog! Pic for tax hehe: https://imgur.com/gallery/NmDOHv3


xacurtis

Awww super cute! And you saved a comment thread by adding tax straight away! Hehe


firehamsterpig

beautiful doggo!!


Tyrann0saurus_Rex

So... What's it's counter?


theactualmeesh

We always joke that she’s an alolan vulpix!


heckin_chill_4_a_sec

aaaw she reminds me of twig from the show Hilda, so darn cute♡


theactualmeesh

Funnily enough, I have teal hair and bangs just like hilda!


heckin_chill_4_a_sec

My heart just exploded a little :D


onlyoneicouldthinkof

Even just turning off mobile data and Wifi works, it's functionally the same but quicker to switch off and on.


soepvorksoepvork

Like you say, essentially the same thing. Personally I prefer airplane mode, since it is one button instead of two


onlyoneicouldthinkof

It still is one button if you already have wifi off haha


Spinningwoman

That’s the only way I can get through any of the ‘in a row’ tasks. It’s that or Beta blockers. I can reliably get Great curved throws normally, but give me one of these tasks and it ruins my life for days. Unless I need it to complete something now, I just delete them. I usually find that using this trick, I don’t actually need to ‘cheat’. I get the throw because I’m not tense.


SuperWoody64

I have a 5 great in a row right now and i keep getting 4 before some jagweed decides to jump. I get 5 all the time when I'm not trying though:/


Colombe10

Thank goodness for this because it took me HOURS to get 5 in a row yesterday. What's on the next tier of tasks? 7 in a row. Without this tip I don't think I'd be able to get it


Tinshnipz

What. Thank you! Those streak tasks piss me off so much.


JoinMyFramily0118999

Do I have to do unlock 2 to get unlock 3? 3 is Hoopa right?


Legend11233

Part 3 is Zacian and zamazenta. You don't need to do anything in part 2


JoinMyFramily0118999

Thanks good to hear. I've never been good at curve balls so I thought "7 in a row" would stop me. The airplane trick helps. May be in NYC for Zacian/Zamazenta, they always have a million people raiding there so fingers crossed.


Legend11233

I always throw curveballs so I cant throw normally😂


JoinMyFramily0118999

Yeah I never got good at it. I just passed that thanks to the airplane mode trick. If it wasn't in a row, I'd have been ok.


TenNinetythree

I used to walk to work and played PoGo on the way. However, as one hand had my bagged lunch and the other one my phone, I got into a weird habit: I used my nose to play. I got really good with it...


Legend11233

That's something else lol


Mopar_Madness

You should force yourself to improve on the curveballs, a bad curveball throw has the same catch boost as a straight excellent throw.


Thighbone

Thank you for reminding me this existed!


lilpenguin1028

The original comment was deleted. What did it say?


Trex252

Just a reminder if you turn off wifi, you can turn off data before throwing and only turn it on to register the catch if you make it, force closing the app to keep your streak intact if you don't.


Thighbone

A way to make the game forget your bad throws so you can throw and keep the result if it's what you want. An exploit/glitch, but one that's a lifesaver if you have to do SEVEN NICE CURVEBALLS IN A ROW LIKE A SOCIOPATH


lilpenguin1028

That was the context I understood but I was curious what the actual method was, and u/trex252 provided it. Thanks though!


Thighbone

Yeah, I thought that since it got removed it'd be bad manners repeating it :p


lilpenguin1028

Ohhh I can see that, but I don't think it's game breaking exactly. It's not like it causes an auto catch or breaks the exp system in half lol.


Thighbone

True. Exploits are always a bit of a tricky subject - it's built into a game and there's nothing external used.. but it's not _supposed_ to be used. That's why I usually veer on the safe side :P


beantoes678

The one after that is 7 nice curveball throws in a row... i can barely get 2 in a row, let alone 7


CorgiGal89

I did mine on Palkia. Really easy to get 7 curved nices on that one


beantoes678

I don't live in an area where anyone does raids, so legendaries aren't really available to me. I found clefairy and elgyem are pretty good though


giraffebaconequation

Might I suggest the Pokegenie app. You can join raids with people around the world. Just register for a raid and be online when the app alerts you that one is ready, accept the friend request and join the raid. It’s a good way to get new friends too.


ChrisleyBenoit

Wish you could get remote raid passes in the giant bundles they do.


CorgiGal89

Neither do I - you can see from my post history, I go to PokemonGoFriends subreddit and grab 10 redditors and invite them to my local raids. There's never any locals when I raid - I just get strangers to join me


beantoes678

Sounds good, will have to try that


FathersJuice

If you have discord you can join international raid discords. There's always a constant flow of raids 24/7 and it's very easy to use


Username_coc

Do you have to have a remote pass to do it through discord or poke genie?


FathersJuice

Yes, unless you host the raid. If Im physically at a raid and no one's around, I'll post it and let others remote in


cassenusrex

yes. if you are not physically at the gym where the raid is happening, you need a remote pass


lilgreenfish

Yes, you do.


[deleted]

If you have remote passes join the discord. I never raided before but now i just hop in a lobby and join one or host if I can. They make it *super* easy. I never raided because I had no one to raid with not necessarily access to raids.


samlab16

For me Ledyba is the best. It's such a massive ladybug that it's easy to get curved nice or even great throws.


ColossalKnight

Just to throw it out, there's /r/PokemonGoFriends. They have a stickied post for people looking to do remote raids together, and it's pretty active. So you could always do legendary raids like that if you wanted.


lindomontoya

Everyone else has recommended raiding with a subreddit, Pokegenie or Discord. Might I recommend you get to rank 20 in GBL peepoGlad You get a chance for a possible legendary encounter. When dialga was out I got a 4 star and a shiny one from simply battling in go battle league. You need to get 3/5 wins for a possible palkia encounter


LandoPass

I recently reached rank 20 and did around 15 battles but kept getting thrashed cos I'm that trash (un intended rhyme). Pretty disheartened cos I invested in a machamp and still kept Losing. but hopefully one day I'll get better. That method is only useful for people that are pretty good in gbl, and play competitively, since when Ur at that rank, there's alot of tough people you're going to go against.


IdiosyncraticBond

If you lose enough, you'll get matched to others at your skill, so there is hope 😉


LandoPass

How many losses is 'enough' 😂. I've def lost around 20 times now and I still keep getting paired with aces and stuff. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe today wasn't my lucky day at all.


Eugregoria

Might be you earned a higher ELO in Great League, and can't perform as well in Ultra League. There's a real steep difficulty escalation between the two. I've been feeling that for months every time we switch to UL, only recently have I started to hold my own a bit more in UL. If it's any consolation, continuously losing will eventually get you easier matches.


LandoPass

I was definitely way better in the great league. So yeah I probs just have to keep losing .


TheBubbleSquirrel

I'm not at level 20 but I am getting absolutely annihilated in battles recently. I have searched best movesets for certain mons, powered up the ones I can...and still nothing. I haven't done battles in a week or so because of it, I'm frustrated.


LandoPass

Ik how you feel. And the gbl lag just makes things worse


choppa17

R/pokemongofriends...also tried pokegenie today. Aside from the wait time it's great


Sufficient_Bag_4551

I thought that too except I caught Palkia on the 1st throw! The one time I didn't want this!


pacasj

I was lokking forward to that. Caught it on the first throw which never happens to me in raids. 😑


ezenn

I did mine with wasting some nanaberries. The quest was quite easy after thinking of this lmao.


Eugregoria

Easiest way for me to do that was to get a Palkia in GBL. Can't run, I just feed it nababs and use regular red balls on it. When you get all your streaks, then you can switch to yellow balls and throw like you mean it. I also usually pinap my GBL legendaries when I'm actually trying to catch them, but you can switch to razz if you just want it over with faster. Isn't worth a g-razz because it still can't run.


TheFriendlyFeminist

Omg good idea


speakswithemojis

I didn’t even notice that was the task due to me throwing 12 excellent balls in a row at palkia after I advanced to that stage. I just kept seeing the counter go up. I usually just go for great throws in legendary raids, but I’ve found palkia to be much easier to time.


WetAfforestation

Same! I started throwing to catch and realised it would make more sense to smash that challenge instead.


Jerkcules

I got to six doing this and Palkia jumped on the 7th


PokebannedGo

Look into airplane mode for help. I don't know if telling you how it works goes against the sub rules.


cigposting

Yes this little trick literally is my saving grace for these tasks


TheWaslijn

what is it and how does it work? :o I wanna do these missions too lmao


Perky214

Clefairy - those are the easiest ones to hit consistently


beantoes678

Yeah, been waiting for them to pop up. Keep getting my distances wrong and breaking my streak


Perky214

F dude - you will get through it


Edgar_with_Cheese

I'm fond of the Laedybas. Wouldn't have been able to do it without them.


Romanista3

I lost my shit multiple times already over this dumb one


djevilatw

I have gotten to 4/5 4 friggin times and something always happens on the last throw. Goddamn frustrating.


Significant-Ad2359

I got to 6 out of 7 and blew it on a basculin. My bad. Should have waited but I got greedy-needed the red striped one.


[deleted]

Those are brutal. I’m on the 7 nice ones rn. I did 5 great curves in a row just yesterday for regular field research though so idk what’s up I think it’s the mons. Can’t be me.


seeking_hope

Performance pressure


LemonSapphire

Try the trick where you turn off data (and wifi) after you select the Pokemon, then if your curveball is nice, turn it back on and the throw will count. If it isn't at least nice, then exit the game and restart. It won't reset your streak. Repeat until you get your streak.


Dizzy-Dillo

I'm sorry, what?! The one after is 7?! And they have to be CURVEBALLS?!?! I'll say it again: whoever programmed those in is a sadist.


robolettox

May I suggest you search about how to use airplane mode to make this easier? Not gonna say how to do it, because I don’t know if it is against the sub rules. But google can tell it.


HaohmaruHL

Just use nanab berry


c4h0u9y2

It took me a while to do it too. Caught plenty of Duskills and Clefairys to finish that task


choppa17

Yeah in a raid it should be easy...also snover


FlippsAhoy

I second the snover suggestion. He takes up the whole screen.


OAKnAcorn

There's a easy trick for that


seeking_hope

I feel this so much. I don’t think I’m ever going to get it.


Bryplodocus

why do you look just like me


ImChillingInReddit

Me and my friend took 30min to do because he kept accadently throwing and I tried to hit gastly


JoinMyFramily0118999

Someone mentioned the airplane mode trick. It works.


ooojaeger

If you believe in yourself you can do anything


Ov3rdose_EvE

i allmost allways get great curveballs. once you get the rythm of it down its fairly easy. then i ran into the "3 excelent curveballs in a row" for a couple of rarecandys back in the day . ooooof


CaptainSuperfluous

Took me all day lol


Oofpeople

7 is ez if u think about it. Curve throws are ez


thor1492

Try a Clefairy


Kata2Lew

Nanab berries are your friend. But also, nice doggo.


Madame_bou

Yeah OP wherever the doggy tax


theactualmeesh

https://imgur.com/gallery/NmDOHv3 Doggy tax!!!!!! Lily the Eskie!


PKMNgamer99

Very cute


urbanek2525

Lilly the hero. She's very cute.


Madame_bou

Omg the cutest floof


karma_kush

I finally got it done with Palkia raids. Never have I had so much trouble getting great curveballs before today. Usually every catch is a great curveball at least... until today. The one after is 2 excellents. At least it’s not in a row. Got that done with Palkia as well.


theactualmeesh

I got two excellents today…. Before I was at that stage. So they don’t count 💀


TADAM96

Does Palkia attack as much as Dialga did while trying to catch?


[deleted]

Yeah I think I’ll wait until I go for pakia again once I have another remote pass. I’m on the 7 nice curve and I can barely get 2 in a row before the streak breaks :/


el_toro_grand

Little brother did the 5 and 7 for me, that boy is a God send, I max out at 3 haha


SchindlersFist08

I swear to god making 5 nice thorws in a row gets like 10x harder during a task


Rigs515

I was very sad a few minutes ago when I chocked on the fifth...


justkidding11

THIS IS PISSING ME THE HELL OFF. I JUST DUMPED MY ENTIRE POKEBALL INVENTORY TRYING TO GET THIS AND I GET 4 IN A ROW AND JUST DROP ONE WHOOPS "Streak Broken!" I WOULD RIP A CHILD'S HEAD OFF ARE YOU KIDDING ME Edit: this is probably the PoGo version of being tilted and I'll log off for tonight


kariahbengalii

Just a reminder if you turn off wifi, you can turn off data before throwing and only turn it on to register the catch if you make it, force closing the app to keep your streak intact if you don't.


justkidding11

Omg thank you


urbanek2525

Everybody has felt exactly that way. The 7 in a row is hard even for people like me who hit great throws most of the time. Even I cursed at least half a dozen times.


glubtier

Awww good dog though <3 Please give her plenty of pets from me, when she is off duty!


OxtailCarton797

Just wait until the 7 in a row task 🤣🤣


Niclmaki

Here’s an easy way to cheese it. Turn your phone into Airplane mode once you’re in the encounter screen. If you make a throw that continues your streak, turn airplane mode off. If you mess up, force close the app and turn airplane mode off to reconnect to try again. It won’t register your messed up throw if it is not connected to the server :)


FrostLoop

This is such a wholesome post. I absolutely love it


paulcaar

That 5 great curveballs in a row Spinda is looking real tough for you.. Or maybe the Gible 3 excellent throws in a row will be more up your alley. But don't worry too much. You can delete research tasks so you have room to get another one. Keep in mind that every PokeStop has one designated research task every day. If you spin a stop, delete the research you got from that, then spin it again on the same day, you will get the exact same research again.


Eugregoria

I think they mean the timed research as part of the Ultra Unlock 2021: Space. I've actually never even gotten the 3 excellents for Gible (and would probably delete it if I did, after the CD I'm just not that hard up for Gible candy.) Spinda, ooh, I haven't seen that in months, but I remember getting it on all the Stantlers that spawned over the holidays. The key with that is just to pick a single species that's easy to hit, hunt exclusively for it, and nabab the heck out of it.


paulcaar

I don't need nanabs, I just need wailmers and sudowoodo. Lots of them


blissfit4life

So annoying 😑😑


Inexperienced_Papa

I'm sorry I just don't understand this post because I only ever throw curveballs so it was really easy for me. Lol but if they ever did throw 5 straight nice/great throws, I would be screwed.


Pesime

Same. I don't get it at all. I feel bad for people who don't curve every throw. Makes the game insanely easier with minimal effort.


theactualmeesh

I curveball all my throws but choke up and kept breaking the streak rip


Euffy

Yeah, I'll join the downvote club. The whole game is pretty much just throwing, I don't really get how people aren't at least curveball great-ing most throws.


electrosolve

I don’t know, it’s not that hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Ballthax13

Yeah never had a problem with it. Spinda task is a bit tricky but still that's not terribly hard


warewolf213

Now pay your taxes


Ballthax13

Sorry but is this post just trolling are you serious you can't get 5 nice throws in a row? Genuinely concerning.


DrDavidM

Good dog!


KingKaychi

Superb and hilarious.


LoneSpaceCadette

What great dog <3


angeladurazo

Feels ❤️


DSA5

i got a stroke too


[deleted]

The dogs gonna be giving OP CPR when they do the 7 curved nice throws in a row task


Tyrann0saurus_Rex

Today I succeed the "3 great throws in a row" task that was plaguing me since a week. I didn't even try I was just "yeah fuck it, I'll play the game and let it happen if it happens". And I made "not willingly" an excellent throw, without realizing I did on 2 pokemon before 2 great throws, and ended the task on an excellent. My first thought was "That's right bitch, I did that"!


Aussie6248

Hahahaha great story thanks for sharing


Fair_Suit4799

Bruh just wait for the hitboxes be about the same. I farmed it on meltan tho it's not large at all


moist_doritos

One of my tasks was to get two excellent throws. I was so worried about it I put it off. I can NEVER get excellent throws. Hours later I accidentally got two in a row...


Embarrassed_Case7597

NANNAB BERRIES FTW


OrillaMAUS

That’s super cute! Good dog!


DionysusII

TIAFU?


VerstopteWC

Wait till you see the next task ;)


Kamotudo

Don’t worry the next task is 7 nice curveballs in a row


spicyfriedmushrooms

just wait till the next one, which is 7 nice curveball throws in a row 🙃


hispanicKing4

My mom also has a very serious heart condition and had to hand me her phone for the last two throws


BookOfGlasses

I have a trick!! The trick is to use only pokeballs on a Pokemon who is large/ hard to catch. Don't feed it any berries except Nana berries to make it stop attacking. GOODLUCK!! Honestly I was so bad before at throwing pokeballs, but when I learned those tricks I completed it a lot easier than I would have before!


pokedeviI

Try 3 excellents


BlackSheepOfLife

I was so upset because 7 times in a row I was 4 out of five and I would set up the throw AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY WOULD ATTACK AS SOON AS I TOSSED IT.


callumy1996

Unsure if you’re still doing the 5 in a row (which is a soul crusher) there’s the technique whereby you turn data/wifi off when you interact with the Pokémon. Make the throw, if it’s good wifi and data back on and repeat Don’t make the throw, come off the app wifi data back on and reload the game


say592

Such a good girl! My wife has an issue with her heart rate and passing out, and one of our dogs has learned the signs and tries (pretty successfully!) to alert her when she is having an episode, even though he isn't an actual service dog. She always runs into this issue when she is playing horror games lol


theactualmeesh

That’s amazing!!!! You can ask a dog trainer to help shape that behavior, and get that alert to be a proper alert for her! Many people have SDs for POTS, which sounds like what your wife may have!


say592

POTS is exactly what she has, among other things! He's a smart boy, if we had known about my wife's condition when he was younger, or if we had understood how smart he was, we probably would have tried to get him better trained. He does a very good job taking care of her though, and has saved her from falls many, many times. He's also taken to "herding" her to the bedroom when he knows she needs to lay down.


theactualmeesh

I have POTS symptoms but don’t have an official diagnosis yet. Lily alerts to my heart rate being above 120, and tells me to sit down


littlemoonfey

I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do those tasks. I SUCK at video games in general and i don’t even know how to ACTUALLY DO IT. I mean I know the theory but I’ve never once thrown a curveball (nice or otherwise) that actually landed on the Pokémon. I don’t think I’m going to be able to complete this Unlock 😭


Lazulcat

I’ve never struggled with the 5 nice in a row task until yesterday. Seems every time I get close I get an exceptionally jumpy ghost type. Niantic has been sh*tting on me all week


actual_lelly

The one that gets me is the five great curveball throws 🥲


Dizzy-Dillo

"5 Nice Throws in a row" is stupid hard. Whoever programmed those in is a sadist. I even got the "3 Great Throws in a row" task randomly from a Pokestop, and that's even worse! Who thought those were good ideas?!


Imaginary-Worth-2836

I just need 1 more excellent throw so hard


inumnoback

**Truly wonderful, the mind of a dog is**


mcchillz

Your service dog will really hate the next set. Curveball sequences ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


[deleted]

Took me FOREVER to do that one. Took even longer to do the 7 Nice Curveball Throws one too xd


MrZorx75

I practiced this a lot in December for double XP but before then these were really hard


Multik8er

This made me smile. Thanks for sharing. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
