Pokemon sizes changed again

Well, my Lugia is mad because he's now tiny.

Looks like they changed model sizes on some pokemon again. Notable changes include Groudon no longer photobombing its own CP, Palkia no longer being a dwarf, and poor Ho-oh turning up smaller than Pidgeot. Seriously, that poor bird cannot catch a break from Niantic.

Another change almost nobody actually wants, would you or anybody here change teams if you were offered $10 to do so?

My son is angry because he often has less premium balls (and raid rewards) than me between team contribution + gym control, so yes, we wanted this feature long ago. We thought it would be fun and useful to kick each other out from gyms a year ago - it turns out it wasn’t the right decision.

You could send an email to Niantic about wanting to switch your team. You could say that you picked the wrong one and then they would usually switch you. My brother picked Valor at first then wanted to be on Instinct and they allowed him to change.
10$ for a team change is ridiculous.

Funny how the only ones who are proudly standing by our team are the Instinct...

In my neighborhood I oppose yellow the most. At the nearest/busiest park I oppose red the most. It is largely related to spoofers that are frequently gym leaders. I don't perceive any spoofers my color in my area, but maybe they all have the same rosy glasses

Smol lugia. Ive heard that it also affected some pokemon's placement in catching, like Palkia being brought closer now

Also congrats on the perfect

That's always good news.

Also: I honestly did not intend this as a brag post, but thanks.

I didn't have trouble catching Palkia before (27/28 caught/seen ratio), but I like it closer now. Tonight's raid was the first I've been able to consistently whip excellent throws at; just in time for a 96% one to show up.

I found Palkia much easier to hit with great curveballs since the move forwards.

I think they only changed sizes in their stats screen so they won’t fully block the CP info. I just used a Lugia in a PVP battle and it’s still big. I’m not willing to switch my buddy right now (I'm almost getting a candy) but maybe someone else can check this out.

Don't worry man. I checked all of them on the buddy screen, and nothing changed, except palkia getting it's right size. Also in battles they are still as big. I think they just want you to see the whole pokemon.
