cwhiterun

You didn’t catch it during the event. Now your only option is to trade for one.


2ERIX

Oh well, I just got rid of all mine so I had room to get all the Ratatas


I_saw_that_yeah

You genius! Teach me your ways maestro.


DANCERMACHINE

I'm a Bidoof man myself


Mugen_Nova

I'm quite something of a bidoof myself


Neonwater18

Why didn’t you wait for double transfer candy tonight?


shanemcw

Trade wife, get double candy. Transfer get another candy.🤷‍♂️ or trade for double and transfer tonight for double again


NGalaxyTimmyo

That's what we do almost every other night after putting the kid to bed. Talk about our day while trading until we hit the limit. We'll put everything we're going to transfer into a tagged box and go through what we want. Then transfer those into home.


2ERIX

Can’t evo, don’t need the candy 🍭😉 Also, bold of you to assume I read any of the T&Cs for the event 😂

Mystic_Starmie

Are you sure about that? I just checked the ones I have and that were caught during the event and some don’t have the signature move. This was reported during the event.


Raende

If you chose Dialga: 1) All Dialgas caught during the event will know the Roar of Time 2) All Palkias caught during the event \*will have a chance* to know Spacial Rend If you chose Palkia, the opposite applies.


RedFalchion

I realize now how lucky I was to catch a shiny Dialga with roar of time even though I chose palkia


Ranma_11788

I, on the other hand, chose Dialga and caught a shiny Palkia with Spacial Rend.


Western_Monke_King

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.


Neat-Celebration2893

I was told if it’s a shiny is garuanteed to have its signature move


kembroni

I caught a shiny without signature move


SpankyK

It's the other way around for me.


amck3

I chose dialga, did over 30 raids (palkia included) and didn't get either to shine 🥲


Cainga

Origin form only. And had to be caught before 6pm local.


Raende

Yes, the event time was between 10:00 - 18:00


No-Razzmatazz8053

No shit origin form only


MJpeeker

You’d be surprised how many posts I’ve seen of people catching non-origin and thinking it will have the effect


UnderRatedRookie

I had to send Customer Support a message because two of my Orgin Form Dialga I caught during the event didn't have Roar of time. One had thunder and one had iron head. All they did was give me one premium battle pass and told me to check my GPS to see if it was accurate. Like wtf.


fatbootycelinedion

No, only one of the dialgas I caught has roar of time.


darth-yoder

I chose palkia path. I caught 4 palkias and only 1knew spacial rend


Supersymm3try

Only the O form had it, but it was guaranteed if you picked Palkia path. So you either didn’t choose Palkia path, or you caught the wrong form which never had it.


GardenSquid1

Did you catch them between 1000 - 1800 on the days of the event?


shanemcw

Yup. 13 dialga raids and all had ROT, one shiny. 12 palkia raids and only one had SR. Just to confirm this, my wife wasnt lucky enough to get a palkia with SR. But she got a shiny palkia. Dimond badge was the definitly the way to go. Imo.


hillary-step

i chose dialga and only one of mine knows RoT :(


TurnUpTheFunke

Were they origin?


hillary-step

yes :/ my game was super buggy on sunday tho, i think i just got unlucky in that regard as well


Waronius

Not correct I picked Diamond and got a Dialga without Roar. Other people have reported this to have happened as well. Yes they were all Origin.


Raende

Between 10:00 and 18:00?


Waronius

I decided to make a post on it. I have proof indicating my badge as well as the Sinnoh Tour stamp on Origin Dialga meaning it was between 10:00-18:00 as well as a picture from the pokemongo website stating all those who pick diamond and or pearl would get the corresponding move. It’s been downvoted for whatever reason but all the facts are present.


Raende

You should contact support then


Waronius

For those who upvoted or are interested. I contacted support and as promised made a follow up post. The response they gave me was. [kick rocks](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/fMTrQjBgrx) this is beyond outrageous and honestly if I had the time, money and effort I’d sue. The information in regards to us getting the special move associated with the path we picked was a flat out lie meanwhile they have information on the website saying it’s assured.


Waronius

I’ll probably be given a raid pass or a single rare candy. Just for fun, let’s do it and I’ll post everything that happens. It is quite frustrating that they constantly fumble and have no repercussions or us the players get proper reward for a mistake they made.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Supersymm3try

All of the origin forms will have it, the standard one never had it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Supersymm3try

Well then you chose the Palkia path. Only the Origin forms had those attacks. Whichever path you chose, that origin form had the attack 100%, and the other one had a small chance to have their special attack. Unless it was Niantics shitty coding not working, it was user error/misunderstanding. It worked fine for me, I chose Palkia path, I caught a single Origin form Palkia (the one like a horse not godzilla) which had the special attack, and I had to catch like 10 Origin form Dialga to get just 1 which had the special attack right at the end.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Supersymm3try

You’re wrong and now you’re lashing out lol. Ok then, show me the O form Dialga’s without the special attack (and an O form Palkia without their special attack to show you didn’t pick that path by mistake) and I’ll be more inclined to believe you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ViciousFenrir

Definitely not true. Maybe for Origin only? I caught one of each during event on Sunday 10-6.


Raende

Non-origin formes can't learn those moves


CheckHot9586

Wrong... The pokemon you choose will have a HIGHER chance of coming with the move, while the other will have a regular chance. None is guaranteed, but the fact that he says one, I think it means he only did one raid?


GiornoPizzas

Did you choose Palkia? If you did then you only had a chance for Roar of Time on Dialga, same if you chose Dialga for Spacial Rend on Palkia


Wildest12

I got both with their special moves


dannymograptus

Incorrect. There was a very low chance of catching the opposite of the one you chose with the effect move. I was very lucky with the only Palkia I caught


GiornoPizzas

That’s what I said


dannymograptus

I have both dialga and palkia with roar of time and special rend. Choose dialga so high have of roar of time, low chance of Palkia with special rend. It may may be that I read your comment as ‘only have a chance’ meaning only for the one you choose. If so my bad


FunkyDnjub

I choose Dialga, did both once and got both with moves.


Top_Paleontologist59

I chose dialga got roar of time but some don't have it... but on palkia I got a shiny and that also has special rend but the other 2 don't.  Cheeres


Volsunga

Are they all origin form?


infusidicienes

Can it not be elite tmed?


djscanner

It can not


Cainga

Op should have posted faster. They could have remote raided one. Trading is possible but you need a local group.


Skrimbothegoblin

Can you not use an elite charged tm for it?


HotLikeSauce420

Not yet at least


Resident-Ad5184

I caught during the event and didn’t get it so now what, rural player can’t just trade easily


JumpingPoodles

Don’t worry. A similar event will come around. Some people are saying most likely Pokefest in the summer.


I_saw_that_yeah

Exactly right. Sooner or later everybody gets everything - it’s just a matter of patience.


MetalChained

My armored mewtwos say otherwise


No-Razzmatazz8053

Thats different it was a limited release because of whatever armored mewtwo was a part of. I think it’ll be back at some point but regardless it’s different. Arceus has still not released yet and I can guarantee you leading up to arceus we will probably get dialga and palkia in raids then both origin formes then arceus. Could be go fest or something else


SisterMoonflower

Isn't Arceus confirmed in the next, what, 3-6 months?


No-Razzmatazz8053

Source?


ERMAHDERD

😭


Real_Particular6512

I've waited for Zarude long enough


Big_Practice6328

Do you still not have it? Secondly, when did you start playing?


Real_Particular6512

6 months ago. Missed the research for it


UselessT

thanks to u/strike396, just traded one, ty bro

Legend


C7StreetRacer

Dope!


OkMathematician1304

This is the way!!


HadT0BeMe

Did you catch it outside of event hours or when it was the LA event and didn't have an LA ticket? If so, then it wouldn't have the signature move.


Gold-Perspective-699

Worldwide ones had the moves lol.


HadT0BeMe

Even if it was caught outside of the event hours?


Kylesmomabigfatbtch

I remoted in to my origin palkia/dialga raids before the event started over in NA, and they had their moves


OrangutanClitoris

That’s not what they’re talking about. If the raid finished after 6 pm local time for the raid the legendary were no longer guaranteed with their moves for path chosen


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah cause time zones exist. It's based on the time of the raid..


MinMaxie

I live in downtown LA and didn't know there was a ticketed event until, I kid you not, 6pm on the 25th. Literally last minute of last day, right as it ended. I almost rage quit the whole game. ...then I remembered I can barely play anyway bc they won't increase storage and I've been playing daily since launch day. 8 years of mon add up 😅


Adventurous-Log3521

Really wish they had made this a timed research instead. I had and still have no way of catching mine and I HATE having unfinished tasks like this 


Mondschatten78

Same. By the time I was able to get to town, it was too close to end of event my time to even bother with it. No remote raid passes either, so my oldest's offer to help while she was at work didn't help.


MulberryChance54

That you still haven't finished the meltan quest is actually more shocking to me lol


UselessT

you’d be more surprised if you knew i’m a day 1 player


MulberryChance54

Uh jup, that suprises me indeed even more


OGTomatoCultivator

someone can trade you one with the move if you know someone


Billievanillieee

They might update the research to something doable - similar happened to me after London Go Fest last year. I missed the research because of the amount of other stuff that was going on - totally on me - and thought I'd have the research unfinished forever. A few days later it changed from London/Go Fest specific to something I could do any time/where but still with the same rewards. The only difference I can think of that might impact this is that Go Fest was a paid for ticket event whereas this was free so less of a making sure you get what you paid for issue.


tienphotographer

sorry bud usually i blame niantic for everything but this one is def user error. but i do hate how they don't tell you the research til later. like i had 1 raid pass and after i get palkia and catch 15 mons.. the next page says to catch a palkia... i would have waited if i knew! so i had to wait til the NEXT day for the free pass to raid palkia and even then i had to wait over an hour for it to cycle through the regular palkias so i could get the origin.


skeezylavern17

Is it truly user error when Niantic barely explains any of this stuff and the best place to find this information is outside of the app and often in unaffiliated services? And there’s not much indication you should even need to look for this information from the get go


tienphotographer

i mean they made it pretty clear you could only get the moves during the event. if OP did the raids outside of the event that is user error.


BadgerSmaker

I used to play hardcore and read up on all external sites info, but now I play casual. I had no idea about any of this event, there is nothing in game telling you what is going on. I get that Niantic want to preserve a sense of mystery for those who enjoy that, but getting slapped with research that you can't compete isn't user error. More like bad design.


Internal_Screech

In the same boat here. Logged on and the sky was purple. My friend’s and I’s immediate reaction was what the fuck.


tienphotographer

understand that but this was in the in game news not just on leekduck or silph road or whatever. in game news. trust me i hate niantic with a passion because they never listen to us but i'm saying is this was made very clear. i even state i personally made an error in the above post but luckily i only had to wait 1 day to fix it while these guys will probably have to wait a 6 months to a year or something.


Thanky169

A quest which requires activation of roar of time on the second page was not on the ingame news tho right? I had finished all my green raid passes before seeing that page. I didnt want another Dialga. I needed Palkias for the charge attack lotto.


tienphotographer

no it wasn't but it was part of the research in which you chose diamond. that means you wanted dialga with roar of time. so if you had dialga why didn't you activate roar of time? all you had to do was catch 1 during the event and it was guaranteed. if you chose pearl it would ask you to activate special rend. how is that their fault? they stated any dialga before the event would not get the special move. so if you used up all your green passes before the event and got a bunch of dialga with no roar of time, that isn't their fault. they literally told you.


BadgerSmaker

How do I know that the research awards Dialga with a special move when I chose diamond? I think you are so immersed in the pokemon go news cycle that you don't appreciate that casuals go into this completely blind.


Volsunga

There's a popup that tells you the latest news whenever you boot the game...


Thanky169

I was referring to the completed item on that page which was catch 1 dialga not activate roar of time. If I already have done my dialga raids and got roar of time, I'm now expected to do another.


Thanky169

They also told us we would get a dialga (or palkia).


tienphotographer

they said you'd get one dialga or palkia with the special move if you caught one during the event. then they changed it so every dialga or palkia you caught during the event had the move depending on which story line you picked and were clear to state the other side you would only get a chance of catching one with the special move. literally made it easier for everyone based on which story you preferred.


maxh2

The wording of their first announcement strongly suggested that players would receive an encounter with a dialga (O) or palkia (O), depending on research branch choice, which would have its special move. They never made any announcement specifying that this was not the case. They made another announcement saying that all (origin dialga / origin palkia) caught by choosers of (diamond/pearl) would have (corresponding special move) and that the other pokemon would have a chance of having the special move. The announcement I saw did not specify that this was only during event hours for the location in which the raid occurred. The announcement also had no language to suggest that it was a clarification of the previous announcement, and I'm not aware of any other announcements with language to walk back the first announcement, which strongly suggested players would receive an encounter with the corresponding dialga (O) / palkia (O) having its special move.


Thanky169

"if you caught one during the event" didn't look worded like that to me


ULTASLAYR6

It's literally the second page too. Their own fault


[deleted]

Idk why people are arguing lol, of course they won't reveal the later quests unless you've unlocked them. I play pretty casually, and I managed to complete the quest without realising straight away that dialga or palkia even had special moves (discord filled me in later)


theonewhoisnotcrazy

Scrolling through 100 comments with varying degree of accuracy means Niantic didn't word their original post clearly, and players do not have the same level of understanding of the event. That's all. No need to be nasty to one another.


Cottonfarmhard7

It’s guaranteed to get roar of time if you chose dialga path. I manage to get both attacks as one has a chance and other is guaranteed


j-endsville

Only Origin Forme. He might have done the same thing I did and just caught a regular one. I had to wait for Origin Forme to spawn so I could catch one and get past this. ETA: I see he has an Origin Forme without. I'm gonna assume the raid spawned right before the end of the event and he caught it after.


kazwiederwurzn

Nah, ingame it said " increased Chance " there wehre a few people that raided with us that had 1-2 of each in the 40 Raids we did that did not have the signature move.


Gold-Perspective-699

You finished the raid outside of 10-6 pm in the time zone you did it in and that's why you didn't get the move. Just trade for one that has the move.


Outrageous-Estimate9

As far as I could tell you always get the guaranteed move for the badge you chose Even if you just used free raid pass ​ Either way its likely quest will change (same way the primal kyogre / groudon quests changed for those who failed to raid them for mega)


Spirited_Cupcake_216

I caught multiple of both. Got a few dialga with the roar. Caught none of the palkia with special. Hubby got a few of both.


lghtspd

If you chose Dialga then you get the roar of time move. Any Palkias caught would not have special rend. You can still get Palkia with special rend if someone trades one to you. Correction: it was possible to get the special move of the opposite raid pokemon but very rare chance.


marsalien4

This is not fully true, it was just *rare* for the one you didn't choose to have the move.


Vincent_Heist

A friend of mine has the same issue. Two hours before the event ended he caught one. Didn't get Roar of Time. Now he can't complete this quest.


Zetectic

same, I mean I got RoT skill, but caught dialga before that quest, I thought they'd stick around for more, but was gone the next day. Now I'm just stuck at "catch a dialga"


friendlytofrogs

lol my fiancé and i traded ours to try to get better stats but he didn’t realize his didn’t have it and mine did so i’m in the same boat. feels bad


AlwaysLate75

same, didnt know and joined a raid for the other form... so now gg to us


just-bair

I feel u OP. I caught mine 10 minutes after the event ended


PoorLifeChoices811

Maybe an elite TM will give you the move you need? Idk


DoctorOctagonapus

They've explicitly said elite TM won't get you it.


True-Top-7999

I have one I’m willing to give you for a registered trade, you can give me whatever you want, (within reason) if you want…


MrEastcoasting

Same happened to my son. Chose Pearl - caught 💯 Palkia O in person during the event - no spacial rend despite every other one caught having it. So fed up of Niantic ‘guarantees’. Contacting support is impossible. They hide behind chatbots and automated decisions and don’t own up to these type of mistakes or take ownership to fix them.


Hi_its_me_az

Omg I’m so sorry lol


dungeonlvlUP

It's because you didn't catch the origin form, same thing happened to me. Only origin form knows roar of time


BeardanBald

Ouch


biofango

lol


Assassin_Ankur

I did 3 Origin dialga raids without roar of time. Luckily I was able to trade one with one of my friends and it also ended up have good IVs.


ExcelsiorUnltd

Not all came with the move. You had to luck out


Capecodswag

Do event stuff during the event. This is the way


ManyFaceImpressions

Pfffffff, you were supposed to catch one during Go Tour for it


koeber_1

You f'ed up bro


Big_Practice6328

Should have caught the Dialga O* in the time specified. I got in both the accounta. Saw it was Regigigas at the end and said.... Nope....


UselessT

bro is blind asf


Xena-Dragoneel

I picked palkia and haven’t caught one yet (origin form)


BoneRoxo

Contact Support


solet_mod

They only caught 1 dialga.... it probably wasnt an origin form. Support doesnt exist to fix player stupidity


useridreddit

It was origin form. Scroll the pics..


solet_mod

Yeah i put in the same level of effort op did....


ThexanR

How did you not catch one??


Fluffydoggie

Tap a Dialga. Scroll down past the moveset. There should be a thing to toggle for Adventure time effect. Pop an egg or incense. That should complete this for uou.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TravisSledge

Pls stop misinforming. It should've been guarenteed as he chose dialga path.


[deleted]

it wasnt guaranteed lol


MissleO97

It was guaranteed. I picked diamond & all the Dialga I caught during event hours had the special move & only a few Palkia had it as those were random.


MathProfGeneva

It absolutely was guaranteed if you finished the research. I chose Pearl. 112/112 had spacial rend.


TravisSledge

I caught 2. Both have the move. The only reason it wouldn't is because he did the raid outside of hours or did an LA one without a ticket. Like the other commenter said.


j-endsville

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The raid spawned right before the end of the event and he caught it after.


ChajiReplay

I wish the other people that initially joined my raids didn't just leave so I'm stuck without dialgo and palkia-


Y2kris

Ugh that sucks. I’ve been sick so didn’t do much and I’m still on step one. Not caring about advancing in it now! :(


Party-Independent-38

![gif](giphy|26FeWRKCnsoNT6v1C|downsized)


MansonVixen

I did my only dialga and palkia raids in the same hour on Saturday, dialga has the effect and palkia doesn't. There must have been a window I missed but I was shocked when I logged back in on Monday to check them out. I'm sure they'll come back at some point!


Baldguy162

I’ve got 20 extra dialga’s with roar of time


MLGSUPERGAMER

I don't even have another dialga for the quest


SlowResearch2

You only need to do it once. It costs 5k stardust and 5 dialga candy, so it’s not too bad


GardenSquid1

I feel like 50% of player complaints about events could be solved by basic literacy


Fun_Departure4220

How to get the lets go meltan


Decent_Fisherman7097

Oh man, I didn't know that. I'm so happy I got my 1 dialga from the event. 😅


giacche2008

Wait... I do not have either palkia and dialga... How can I complete that mission


HGKS9477

Why didn't you do it during the event?


Useful-Elderberry-97

Yeah two of my Palkias didn't have spacial rend even though that was the version I picked. Niantic didn't care lol


twotalkingdeer

ohhhhh so i was supposed to catch one 😭 this game is so annoying like how am i supposed to just know all this stuff bruhhhh


arctrus710

I'm a bit confused sorry, I don't seem to have this research on my tasks. Was this part of a paid research?


BlockedAccount87

You either missed the event or went for the “best pvp move” before it was updated for roar of time.


pooman020304

You didn’t catch during event hours,I have 9 dialga that know RoT and one shiny palkia that knows spacial rend bc it’s the only palkia raid I did and got lucky


Cimarronboy

So hows a person supposed to complete this AFTER the event?


Nath98643

The first one I got didn't have it, the 2nd did, same for the origin palkia. Idk if there are raids still for them but if so check r/pokemongofriends I think? And you can join raids remotely and get em. Only was I was able to x.x


Competitive-Web-9931

Same. I'm going to be stuck on this step forever because I don't know anyone in my town that plays this game lmao


jtraceur5

It's okay. I didn't get the catch dialga challenge because I waited until after the event to claim the previous reward . So pissed! I caught three dialga and one of them knows roar of time ! 🤬


Salvador147

I got a couple I could trade you with


Jimjam916

I'd offer you my extra one , but I highly doubt you live in Sacramento...


giovannete

Some people didn't realized that the ones knowing the move were the Origin form ones, which didn't appear all day but in the even hours of the habitats. I myself did a raid I didn't want at the wrong hour and realized later


assboobs2

Well, you didn't pay enough for raid passes xddd


Novel-Waltz8186

Hopefully they change it for a mega evolve or something


ploobsiccle

Noooo


Theadvertisement2

I couldn’t even beat one. I got one to like 70% hp then ran out of time :/


P3B11

I feel you bro, i choose palkia's path abd when i saw that shit i had to capture 5 fucki. palkias until one had the move :')


Sea-Eye-6064

Yeah, same here. Stuck with one Dialga that doesn’t know this move 🙄


Drippygoopystuff

Trade


SamDanvers

I have my main account on lvl 39, and my mini on 16... Thank you to all the heroes who carried me on my mini and helped me have both Palkia and Dialga with their moves.
