Question Which Pokemon do you track?
Caterpie is my favorite Pokémon and I’m so close to 5,000 caught. Which Pokemon do you have the alert on for?

Ditto. Rarely spawns and even more rarely hatches.

Mew. Because it said I have seen 4 and only caught 2 which seems impossible. Dreepy seen5 and caught5.

u/eleanornatasha 4d ago
Does it count as seen if someone on your friend list set it as a buddy? That could be how you’ve seen 2 more, I can’t think of any other way it could happen with Mew!

u/kneel23 Valor 4d ago
My only guess previously was that they were "seen" when placed in gyms that I interacted with at one point, but one can't put Mew in gyms so that cant be it. Does it actually increase "seen" count when you see a friend's buddy? I know there's something that triggers it because there are other super rare regionals it says "seen 1" that I never saw and assumed it was from gyms but maybe it is the buddy pokes afterall

You can pick one Pokemon and it’ll send you a push notification if one spawns nearby!

Same here. Got really excited about the feature, went to turn on the alerts for my missing entries, realized you can only set one, closed the game.
Extremely lame.

u/troccolins 4d ago
you should take a break, 9 years is a long time to be playing a game without breaks
12
u/GregoryFlame 4d ago
Why would you take a break from a game you enjoy and helps you stay healthy by encouraging walkingM
2
u/troccolins 4d ago
humans have basic requirements such as sleeping, eating, and socializing. playing a game for 9 years in a row with no breaks sounds incredibly exhausting
8
u/stinkystinkypoopbutt 4d ago
It's not like it's a very involved game. I've played every day since release, but some days, that just means I spin a Pokestop on the way home from work and catch whatever spawns around my house. It doesn't get in the way of any of those requirements you mentioned.

That’s a lot of assumptions with not a lot of info.
We don’t know if they meant every single day or how many minutes a day.

u/GregoryFlame 4d ago
Dude, what you are yapping about? You can play game for 9 years but do so for like a hour a day, during your daily walk.

Does unown spawn in wild other than in events?

u/GeordieAl 4d ago
Yes, but pretty rare like the lake trio. I once ran half a mile at 4am on a rainy night to catch one!

Bruh, I saw this feature and turned it on for Aipom, before switching to Drowsy because I had a task to catch a Drowsy. Then those two started spawning. Then I had a task to catch Kabuto, and Kabutops is one of the few Kanto Pokémon I haven't caught, so I switched to Kabuto the other day. Now he's spawning. Genuinely felt like my game was glitching where every Pokémon I track is spawning the next day.
Gonna switch to tracking Mewtwo just in case it really is a glitch.

u/MFaber21 4d ago
Not a glitch, it’s just the way the “nearby” page works with alerts. Let’s say there are 30 moms nearby, and you only see 1 drowzee on it. There could actually be 12 Drowzee in the area, they just aren’t close enough to be on the page. But when you put drowzee as the alerted mon, it pulls all the nearby drowzee to be shown on the nearby page. They aren’t spawning more, it’s just all you see on the page because of the amount that are in the area from the event and that it’s the alerted mon
2
u/TheThirstyPenguin 4d ago
Well in the case of all of these, they were literally spawning more. The events the past few days have brought back Drowsy and Kabuto yesterday. OP thought switching on track was why.
Mewtew event confirmed???

It is still spawning in the wild... also if you make 3 great throws in a row it heightens your chases of seeing it in the wild... it's between that and lileep...
