So stoked for NYC GO Fest! My second in-person GO Fest. Looking forward to meeting you again at the meet up in the park and at Central Park!

[@ShadyRK9]

I can't wait for Global! I already have 3K coins for the Remote Raids and alot of Great, and Ultra Balls!

[@highborncoyote4007]

I have saved my poke coins for the global event for about 5 months I should have about 36k by the global event

[@gavanator7]

Just so you know, 3k coins won't be enough for global. That's only about 18 total remote Raids, and given a 1/20 shiny rate, you've got a decent chance of not getting a shiny. Plus, I imagine the fusion energy rate from raids will be pretty terrible. I recommend getting a lot more

[@highborncoyote4007]

@@gavanator7 last I checked there won’t be a raid limit during global go fest but yeah it’s recommended to have a lot more for higher chances at a shiny

[@edge1x]

3k is only like 18 raids or less

[@riverchamp8019]

@@gavanator7pokedaxi already has the shiny from the other two in person go fest. I really don’t think he’s worried about the shiny

[@josephchristopher4957]

You mentioned travel to island: Last year I took Uber from Astoria, Queens directly to the stadium at Randalls Park and it cost about $17 plus tip. VERY convenient for an out-of-towner who doesn’t know to navigate subways or ferries. Dropped me literally at the entrance of the event.

[@joshward7238]

Here we GO!!!

[@angelaa1611]

Pertaining to Randall Island.... There is a very large migrant encampment located in Randall Island. This encampment holds only single men with no families. Randall Island has been experiencing a massive influx of crime and gang activity. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful while there, and everywhere in the city. Stay aware of your surroundings and do not display any expensive belongings. Keep important items on your body and out of reach of passers by. Be safe and have a great time trainers!!

[@Mel_in_PHX]

Was this also there last year or is it new for the area? We didn’t feel unsafe on there at all last year. We took the ferry and I’m glad we did.

[@paulinexong]

@@Mel_in_PHXI have the same question. Is this encampment new since August 2023? The island was fine when I was there last year

[@angelaa1611]

@Mel_in_PHX It officially opened last August but they recently expanded it and began having more problems, since there's been a lot more migrants coming in lately and the city is out of places to house them.

[@angelaa1611]

@paulinexong It believe It officially opened Aug 20th 2023. Could be off by a couple days though.

[@angelaa1611]

There's tons of stories about the shelter online. Just do a Google search. Look, I'm not trying to scare anyone or deter anyone from going. Just trying to make yall aware of this situation so you stay safe!!

[@WingedSupernova]

The rain is gonna be tricky to deal with for this event. Hopefully we can still get everything we want to done.

[@Maxkebel94]

My first in person go fest I’m so excited!

[@jonathanvail9643]

I'm not going but I'm 😊to be out of my area trying to get players to join me to fight these Pokémon. But I need players for this legendary Pokémon to join me. Thanks again Billy for this.

[@cliang257]

I cant wait to see you at the meetup & the content creator area. See you there Billy.

I already went to Sendai, I can’t afford going to newyork! Enjoy your time

[@stevens7421]

I am so excited! I wish I could get on the raid train on Sunday, but that’s my park time!

[@LiLiLaCheese]

See you for raiding on Friday for sure! Possibly Saturday but it depends on the shenanigans i get into. 😅

[@Cimags1028]

I’d love to join y’all for one of the meetups for raids.

[@AbsoluteDan]

I have twelve 12k eggs ready to go for New York, I can't wait. I will also be at the Raid Meet-up on the Saturday as well, I'll also be attending your Meet and greet Billy, can't wait to meet you and raid with you that day.

[@poefrakker]

Dude I'll see you there! Thanks gir the tips!

[@gio6623]

Wait how do you turn off the vibration?

[@RyanRist2123]

If you get your goplus+ modded they put a switch in and when you have it in the modded mode it turns off vibration and the light on the main button.

[@riverchamp8019]

I believe other KZbinrs that you are friends with said in their video that the fusion energy was different from the research. I would think you be checking out their videos

[@thedon4736]

I’ll be there in NYC this weekend. See you there.

[@jacksonscott99]

I’m so ready for this event! One question though. So I got my ticket for Sunday and got the Raid pass thing as well. Do I get the benefits of shiny Necrozma on Friday and Saturday as well since I purchased a ticket or is it only available for me on Sunday cause that’s when my Randal island day is set to?? Thanks!

[@wsmadden66]

Thanks! See you in NYC!

[@mandyc3658]

Uber was perfect to get to Randal Island.

[@josephchristopher4957]

Yup! I just commented that last year it dropped me right at entrance of stadium for $17 (from my hotel in Queens)

[@AbsoluteDan]

Hoping the weather changes for that weekend as its 50/50 for rain.

[@tonyramirez7029]

It should be both just the meet ups and locations are for in person only

[@katiewilliams2729]

You have to go to in person events to do the meet and greet events global go fest doesn't have them

[@BagelRamenfilms]

whats the Trainer club sweetgreen code? lol

[@vincemasiello8221]

Do we know what is coming out of the eggs?

[@gavanator7]

When you talk about the "enhancement", is it only happening on Friday? Or will it happen on all 3 days?

[@derungus53]

basically niantic adds gyms and pokestops for the event so there are more raids and stuff all 3 days

[@believeinthedream]

It’s funny cause I was there last year and I missed him because I was below the pavilion. It’s funny though.😂

[@Red-ze8rl]

I'm confused, I thought we got fusion energy from raiding Necrozma in its two forms

[@Miller73]

Only during global

[@katiewilliams2729]

Only during day 2 of global go fest depending on if we go after Dawn Wings Necrozuma or Dusk Mane Necrozuma from the Dawn Wings Necrozuma raids we can get lunar fusion energy and from the Dusk Mane Necrozuma raids we can get the solar fusion energy

[@ging3110]

What time are you getting into nyc

[@walterdickerson8557]

i am going to NYC and i hope to see u

[@devonreid9667]

You already know go fest NYC

[@thatdovick29]

i dont get it with the necrozma fusion things do you not get solgaleo fusion energy in raids after picking (for example) the Lunala route in field research?

[@katiewilliams2729]

No if you go with Solagleo you get the solar fusion energy if you go with Lunala you get the lunar fusion energy hopefully this clears it up for you

[@thatdovick29]

@@katiewilliams2729 so i get the 1000x fusion energy only from the research but i can get the other one from raids if im not mistaken

[@katiewilliams2729]

@thatdovick29 yes you can get 1 from the research the thing with the raids you will only get Necrozuma and the fusion energy for the fusion you battled and Necrozuma candies and I think Cosmog candy but you will need Lunala and Solgaleo in order to get both fusions so basically you need 2 Necrozuma and 1 each of Solgaleo and Lunala and 30 each of Cosmog candy, Necrozuma candy, and 1,000 of each of solar fusion energy and lunar energy but depending on if you go the Solgaleo path or the Lunala path from the research you are guaranteed to get Solagleo or Lunala Necrozuma I'm not sure on I know at the in person events people got Solgaleo or Lunala, the candies, Necrozuma, and 1,000 of the corresponding fusion energy and I'm assuming that they got at least Necrozuma and candies from the raids I don't know if there was Dawn Wings Necrozuma and Dusk Mane Necrozuma raids because it was never shown so I'm assuming that they got the fusion from the path they took in the research and will have to wait until global go fest day 2 to go after the other or try for a better Necrozuma

[@cameronharrington6813]

Im so stressed for the week of global go fest. Too many shiny ultra beasts to focus on. The main focuses being the regional pheromosa and xurkitree for me, but i also need shiny nihilego and celesteela from before. Then you have necrozma during actual go fest. And buzzwole.. ill skip that one, probably just do the 2 daily passes ill have that day in person and focus on remote raids for the other two. I hate doing raids during the actual go fest because it takes time from spawns and the go plus ive heard notoriously makes you lose shinies even on ultra balls

[@katiewilliams2729]

Here's some advice if you want to use it each of the days leading up to global go fest will have a different ultra beast in raids and the raid hours on each day will feature the ultra beast of that day just focus on the ultra beast for that day in raids but also keep in mind that the Inbound from Ultra Space raid timed research will give encounters with all the Ultra Beasts they just won't have the special backgrounds we will be getting a chance to get from the 5 star raids we catch the Ultra beasts and Necrozuma from hopefully this helps you out

[@Wattz2]

For global go fest do we get the Sun or Moon research task for the lunala or solgalio encounter? Or is that in person only? Do we have to buy the ticket for it to get the encounter?

[@TheJjohnson1982]

You have to buy the ticket to get Solgaleo or Lunala

[@katiewilliams2729]

Unfortunately you have to buy the ticket for global go fest in order to get the extended branching special research for Solagleo or Lunala

[@robertfowlkes3867]

[@margiethomas8268]

This is overwhelming

[@dcers5161]

Who actually does his 12 egg tip?

[@josephchristopher4957]

Not a chance. I want every step I take to be going toward hatching something. The additional stardust from hoarding eggs seems silly if you’re not hatching any eggs during the hoarding time. Aside from bragging rights, I don’t really see the importance of having the amount of Dust Billy has if he’s so stingy about using it anyway, though.

do not do the ferry unless you want to be trapped by the masses lol take the bus or walk There will also be 2x catch xp after 10 am on Saturday due to the global event

[@lelouchchanbc]

I don't understand why wild spawn Abra had one time chance catches only. Recently another wild spawn joined, Wimpod also has a one time chance catch. What reason for these two non legendary Pokemon wild spawn one time chance catches implementation? Niantic?! Nobody will answer me here.

[@bigmel26]

To answer for Abra, it has a 100% flee rate if not caught within the first try; the same rate from the main series game. (Encounters from research tasks, raids, & rocket members don't apply)

[@satrickptar6265]

I don’t know why they thought Randall’s Island was a good spot instead of Roosevelt Island. Didn’t they know that there’s a psychiatric ward for criminals there? 🤦‍♂️ But regardless, I’m still going.
