I need valor people to play with in the florida area, where i live its a rural area its a town but theres pokestops downtown, but theres no body that goes out side and wants to play any more :/
My hubby and I are in GA also; the Atlanta area. We have ran into several people while out playing, but like everyone stated a lot of players stop playing. When we 1st starting playing we meet people in the graveyard where we played into 2 in the morning; now we only meet 1 or 2 every now and then.
This is one of your best vids. I LOVE seeing all those REAL players playing together. ;3; THIS is what Go is all about. I wanna play with you guys! Glendale isn't too far from me, but I'd love to see more local players in SGV. Spoofers have to go so that we can have more moments like this where the focus isn't about removing spoofers from gyms. Those guys look fun. Hopefully I can meet them someday soon. :) Oh, I'm on Instinct, too, so I can contribute to your gym raids. ^_^ Level 34.
REAL players?!!! These are all people who used to spoof. Have you seen the levels of the ones in the starter gym? Everyone is above 36 and there is even one on level 40. Notice Nick said his pokemon will be at the bottom? Nick knows these guys obviously spooked and that's why their pokemons have higher cp then his, but he's not going to say anything about it.
5:19 *"They are real people"* That was hilarious, all my respect for team instinct. Niantic needs to see this video, or John Hanke.. i don't care. This is heartwarming and i love it. Thank you Nick
Rock Lobster at the end he said this was great experience for him. then why did u waste ur sydnet time ignored meeting many of ur fans who wanted to see u. ure so full of shit nik
Hi Nick, we have a Instinct group here in Lincoln, NE that meet up every weekend and take down gyms. We are out numbered but will never surrender. Keep up the good videos
I agree. I am biased because this is part of our network. WE do events like this all over socal almost every night. We do bbqs, bonfires and dinners before many of our raids. We would love to have nick join us more often
Alan Wilkes: do you guys have a social media outlet where you post the dates/times of your raids? And do you travel across SGV? I live near Pasadena and would love to join fellow Instinct members in gym raids and just basically making new friends. :) If you wanna take down an area that Valor spoofers own (used to be Instinct central till spoofers became a huge problem), I recommend the Hastings Ranch, Pasadena area.
We have a facebook page and discord server. our members spread out over pretty much all of socal. We do have a discord channel and messenger group chat for the 626 area. We don't publicly post links to our group but if you send me a message on facebook, I will send you an invite. We would love to have you facebook.com/alan.wilkes.54
I am stunned with the amount of people that showed up in Highland Park even to the parks that you guys went to. I know Highland Park and it avenue gangs! But you guys made it seem like an ordinary night who love to play the game and enjoy to battle each gym out there. This brought so much joy to me, not because I'm also an instinct player but the fact that it's more safe to run out at night and see people playing Pokémon as a group! Thanks to all that helped out and hope to run into the fellow Instinct players out there! #HighlandParkforInstinct
This video made my Instinct heart very proud :) I thankfully found an Instinct chat in my local area last fall after months of solo play and frequently meet up with a few of them. Training/battling/catching in Pokémon Go is so much more fun with other players IMO.
We got rid of most spoofers in my town. But recently, spoofers from my own team (Instinct) have shown up. They knock down the lowest people in the gym with their second accounts, and then put their cheated in Pokémon at the top. One guy is in all 5 gyms in my neighbourhood and in each gym, he has an exact 3300 dragonite. And I really mean exact. I reported them a couple of times but nothing changes.
thorzyan I don't know if you can. How do you prove that someone has an account that they use to kick players out so they can replace them? We all know it happens but what can we really do?
Go make some friends that play Pokemon GO, try finding people playing the game while playing it yourself, look on facebook for a group of players in your local area, don't miss out on the enjoyment there is to be had just because you don't have friends that play the game.
This video was personally the best and my favorite video you put up. I think you and everyone should do more cooperations. And thank you so much Nick!!!!!!!
I also don't like the idea that the game "should" be played this way. The game can be played like this and it can work but I don't want to "need" to play the game like this. A lot of gyms in a lot of areas stay at 10 for a while because it's too difficult for one person to do alone. Yeah going around with a bunch of people works a lot better but honestly I don't like the idea of needing an army. It's fun occasionally but I would prefer not needing them to get gyms taken care of. I'm unsure of my thoughts on the gym rework because there have been a lot of hints of needing more team work and that worries me. This isn't to say I don't like playing with people. I do like people but I don't want to need people to do something that I should honestly be able to do alone.
Nick this is probably the most meaningful video you have made. It is so amazing how Pokemon Go can bring people together like these guys and just create a bond, friendships, social life. This is s great way to keep people doing fun things instead of bad things I think. I am inspired!! Thank you. Greetings from Houston, Tx.
THANK YOU NICK FOR REPRESENTING INSTINCT TEAM AND EVEN THOU WE HAVE JUST A FEW PLAYERS. WE HAVE A PRIDE AND WE CAN OVER COME THE OBSTACLES WITH OTHER TEAMS. MY TWO FAVORITE COLORS ARE BLUE AND RED BUT I WANTED TO BE THE UNDERDOG AND BEING INSTINCT HAVE HELPED US JOIN FORCES WITH OTHER INSTINCT PLAYERS BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW THAT WE CAN BE BETTER IF WE PLAY TOGETHER JUST LIKE YOU DID IN THIS VIDEO. SO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU DO NICK AND THANK YOU.
Really hope for a Chat System to get into the game too. Just like in Ingress, chatting to players upto a certain distance so we can meet up and attack gyms.
As a solo player and an introvert who doesn't have any friends that still play this game, this really worries me about the future update when even more importance will be given to team work.
micahsky92 It looks like I may have to but I don't want to feel so helpless playing alone that I'm forced to seek out and team up with people I don't know. Being an introvert is hard. I hope I can discover my fellow team players through the game or something.
Alwin Crasto I'm like the most introverted and shy person ever. I play mostly alone, but yesterday I saw a guy who was batteling a realy annoying gym and I just came over to him and asked which team is he in. It turned out that he's instinct, just like me, so we took down tbe gym together. I was realy surpdised that I actually came to a total stranger and played pomemon with him. I don't usually do such things, 'cause like I said, I'm very shy. This is a hudge achivement for me and I so happy I did it. I encourage you to do the same. It may sound hard, but its actualy really satifying! 😊
Tosze Wjeloryb oh that's great! I hope things pan out well for us shy folks. If a mobile game can get me to socialize I'll be really happy. It's just that I'm having my doubts considering that Pokémon Go activity is really low in my area and absolutely everyone spoofs. I've actually had someone walk up to me as I was attacking a gym and be amazed that I didn't have GPS Fly or something installed to play from home.
Alwin Crasto I just hope that Niantic releases another way to obtain coins like AI battling so that no person, team, or whatever can get completely dwarfed in the game. The supply and demand of gyms is really bad, and people like you and myself will really get wrecked if lvl 10 gyms created in 10minutes becomes the norm.
Nick; This was one of my favorite videos you have made. I joined a Team Instinct Group here in Miami and we are paling on doing Gym raids weekly Thanks David
Hey! I'm team instinct! I'm in Glendale a ton. It is where I usually play. I have been seeing these guys gyms up and trying to hop into them when possible. I've been wanting to play with them! If you guys see this! Let me know!
Nick, this is my favorite video to date. The voice over was very documentary style and I loved it. Seeing this group makes me excited for the future of Pokémon Go. After watching this video I'm determined to organize a group by me.
Where are you from? If you have kik i have a group on there. We have people from all over and all teams. Even if no one is nearby its still cool to have people to talk to and share that also play!! Hmu on kik if your interested BritneyJade21
Courtney Michelle am from India am team Valor and here in India deres not enough players to play with or even talk about pokemon go. can i join u guys in ur kik group so atleast i can share my experience and get to know about you people too
Started a Mystic/Instinct group in my town. Several of us get together to take down Valor gyms in our Valor heavy town. Thanks for the gym taking tips.
Nick, this was the most enjoyable video you've put out since probably your first few episodes in Japan in my opinion. It was so cool to see people networking like this through PoGO. I've met up with a few people in my local area and we even started up our own Facebook group. All of us are really competitive when it comes to gym battles too, which is great. I look forward to seeing some good changes to the gym rework that's hopefully coming up soon.
I'm so proud of our little Nick for going out and making more friends. On a more serious note, I trained up a gym to level 8 and it was torn down to level 3 by spoofers in a matter of 10 minutes. There was no one around me. I hope they fix this problem soon.
Lol awesome video Nick. I'm one of the valor players in Glendale that takes out Birdy and those other guys once in a while. Valor use to rule the area before these guys got together to take over Glendale. Really love this video and look out for KenThe1 you guys.
I was recently added to a group of Valor players, thanks to them I have been getting 50-70 coins per day. They said soon I will be getting 100 Coins and 5k Stardust. I could of never of got this without their help, and you only need like 1 or 2 people to do this and that is awesome. But the more people the higher the level you can push the Gym up to after you knock it down. You also use barley any resources so it's a total win situation. Glad you see you getting more social out there Nick.
Wow, wish we could have run into you! We're team Mystic and live in Highland Park and those gyms have been level 10 forever. It's great if you manage to get a Pokemon in them, but sucks if you can't, since there's nothing you can do about it.
Well, now he freed those gyms up for you to take. The downside for their strategy is, the easier it is to build up, the easier it is to take down. Most of those Instinct gyms looked like they were only stocked with Charizards, Blastoise, and Venusaurs; not gym stoppers like Snorlax or Blissey.
Eric P that was intentional. We wanted to make fun gyms. No matter what we put, we knew mystic would take them back. It takes multiple raids to make a gym stable. We also wish we could see more gym diversity o this was our shoutout
We had a few Blissy's on a gym here in Orlando - probably tourists passing through - it took researching the best pokemon and getting past that timer on not one, but two of those things. I ended up leaving (dinner was over) before taking the gym, but at least it was available to most players once those two Blissy's were out of the way.
Ive seen it done with machamp, scizor, and donphan. Ive heard that ursaring can do it too. you want the move Counter for the fast attack is what it boils down to, or to use very, very fast attackers. The best option is to have a second or third player.
If you prestige the gym to 50k before you add more than the first pokemon, you will still get prestige from adding pokemon, capping at 64k. Just thought you might want to know.
This happens in The Netherlands, Europe for months now. Whole squads of cars / bikers going around, mostly Mystic (me) en Valor (the enemy lol) and Instict is some kind of Swiss lol. It's really cool. We have students, fathers, mothers, even a grandma playing along, going gym to gym. This is really cool, it creates a bond, it's really like a legit sport / hobby, taking eachother's gyms again and again and check the map who owns which areas like it's a battlefield lol What i think they should fix? Prioritise in BANNING SPOOFERS !!
I LOVE this video!! This is how the game should be played with 12+ players working together to take down level 10 gyms easily! Even though you guys are Instinct, I really love that it is INDIVIDUAL people vs. a bunch of spoofers or multi-accounters. Recently a bunch of Team Instinct players came to my couch gym...and they built it up to 10 easily(but there were a few of them that had more than one account, which is quite a problem in my area....sadly!) Suffice to say, my couch gym does not stay Team Instinct for long cause I despise the players playing multiple accounts. I'm cool with Instinct/Mystic if there is ONE person for ONE account. Shout out to you guys working together!! :) Btw, Team Valor here! :D
Hey Trainer Tips, I am on team mystic and I realize that team mystic has the most spoofers. I thought that was really cool how u met up with those other trainers and defeated gyms.
We have 3 groups in Colorado. Smallest of the 3 has 150 members. We help each other if an area gets too much of a single team. Mystic has a group that is our rival with 460 members, but not all of them are active. Prestiging is the part with the most strategy. Raids are organized with maps and numbers for the gym order. The group is very aware of spoofers and has organized a way to report them with massive amount of evidence. We still have spoofer issues but it's not as bad as other areas of the country and world.
vlaerenko if this is true I'm a committed and dedicated Team Valor Pokémon Trainer currently in Long Beach, CA and would be honor to help and join you guys.
Recruit recruit recruit. If you see someone training up a yellow track the, down. Get their number. Find a platform to chat on and update each other on raids and catches. Check Fb groups.
isaac a make a Facebook group. Make posts in the Pokémon Go pages of your local college inviting people to join it and tell them what you want to do with it. It's easy
we have a group of team instinct players in vieanna :) its like one of our members (a spoofer and multiaccount player who have no time for the real playstyle) is becoming a little legend here in vienna, becouse he is so anoying for the other teams.
That mic has improved your sound quality so much. Your quality was never bad but your voice sounds so much smoother with it. Upping that production value like a boss.
Nick this is your best video. Like not even close. I formed a team out here in Utah, and it is awesome, and is the only reason why we still play. I sure hope Niantic doesn't mess up this gym rework.
I never comment on here, but Team Mystic DFW, Texas. We have a GroupMe & Discord app for the Dallas, Fort Worth & Denton areas so if you want to be added please feel free to DM me your player card & number so I can add you to the groups.
We are a group of Team Instinct players in our town, we have been doing this since the start of October. Started out with 10people but as we went on we grew to a larger group, met people at the gyms while we where training to make it stronger so more people could join. Now we are 20+ active players who constantly plays and help out each other! The other teams started calling us "the yellow maffia" :D Go Team Instinct!
Too bad it's so hard to find a large group of high level female Instinct players. I'd be terrified walking with a large group of guys like that lol Great video though! Looked so fun!
I would imagine being in a large group of men would make you feel more safe, not less safe. I don't quite get the unease you have, but at least you know you wouldn't be the only female.
When the game came out and all of my friends played as much as I did I hoped to one day have a group of high lvl friends to raid gyms like those guys but slowly all of my friends lost interest in the game and don't really play anymore. Glad to see that these guys made it happen.
Nick I'm glad to see you guys trained these gyms up legitimately. Instinct over my way makes low level accounts to drop magikarps in and train them up. Then they knock the magikarps out and put their high cp Pokémon in gyms.
Come join the pokemongoseattle reddit's discord server: discord.gg/MKqDK97 Hit up #teamrequest to access the team-specific channels, where we have some more gym talk. And yea, we know about Ballard... hope to see you discord, and we can talk more then.
Derek Price use the discord link. drop into the #teamrequest channel, write what team you are on and you will be assigned to your teams private chat to meet up with other people in you team. all 3 teams are pretty active and there are a lot of group gym take downs. there are also neighborhoods set up for local chatting with other players for doing lure parties and what not. pretty much the only thing that kept the game alive over winter was this discord server. and the moderators are all anti spoofer/cheaters
We have a really big network of instinct from all over socal we do raids like this somewhere in socal a few times a week. We did one in Whittier, actually. If you're interested in joining us, send me a private message and I will get you an invite link. m.facebook.com/alan.wilkes.54
If you have kik i have a group on there. We have people from all over and all teams. Even if no one is nearby its still cool to have people to talk to and share that also play!! Hmu on kik if your interested BritneyJade21
Lol, I was just joking with a friend, but thats damn cool, ill think in the future about it, thanks, but first I need to play more so that ill get better
Watching so many people come together to take down that gym, man that was awesome
Hands down your best video yet, or at least my favorite
YES THIS WAS MY FAVORITE VIDEO TOO. I AM GLAD NICK IS INSTINCT.
This is what I like in this game... playing together, meet new people from different culture, jobs, unite generations. This game break any boundaries!
I heard that bro well said
Nonkel Coño wait till they pull a gun on you...
In the Netherlands? Haha
I need valor people to play with in the florida area, where i live its a rural area its a town but theres pokestops downtown, but theres no body that goes out side and wants to play any more :/
Thao Doan Dude shut up
I usually solo level 10 gyms because I don't have a group to go battle with, but this looks like so much fun!!
LuckyBunz and then some team mystic guy drives up the second you put your pokemon in there...
S ame here
What state are you in?
GA
My hubby and I are in GA also; the Atlanta area. We have ran into several people while out playing, but like everyone stated a lot of players stop playing. When we 1st starting playing we meet people in the graveyard where we played into 2 in the morning; now we only meet 1 or 2 every now and then.
this is so crazy.. I remember the old days like this.. but not recently! awesome!!!!
This is one of your best vids. I LOVE seeing all those REAL players playing together. ;3; THIS is what Go is all about. I wanna play with you guys! Glendale isn't too far from me, but I'd love to see more local players in SGV. Spoofers have to go so that we can have more moments like this where the focus isn't about removing spoofers from gyms. Those guys look fun. Hopefully I can meet them someday soon. :) Oh, I'm on Instinct, too, so I can contribute to your gym raids. ^_^ Level 34.
Socal instinct has a 626 group and chat. we have events all over socal and try yo get people across the network together.
Sounds good. Where can I join your group and chat? Does 626 represent the area code?
626 instinct member here, lmk
Nice to meet you, Al! I just requested to join your FB group, so I'll be checking to see when I can join you guys as soon as I'm accepted. :)
REAL players?!!! These are all people who used to spoof. Have you seen the levels of the ones in the starter gym? Everyone is above 36 and there is even one on level 40. Notice Nick said his pokemon will be at the bottom? Nick knows these guys obviously spooked and that's why their pokemons have higher cp then his, but he's not going to say anything about it.
This is the kind of content i really appreciate Nick :).
Couldn't agree more
Divine agreed
5:19 *"They are real people"*
That was hilarious, all my respect for team instinct. Niantic needs to see this video, or John Hanke.. i don't care.
This is heartwarming and i love it. Thank you Nick
Rock Lobster at the end he said this was great experience for him. then why did u waste ur sydnet time ignored meeting many of ur fans who wanted to see u. ure so full of shit nik
Hi Nick, we have a Instinct group here in Lincoln, NE that meet up every weekend and take down gyms. We are out numbered but will never surrender. Keep up the good videos
this is how pokemon go was at first groups of teams attacking gyms ..but with all the spoofers we gave up until niantic does something about is
Jose Sanchez they try
Awesome video, Nick!!!
You should meet up with these guys, way more often!🙋
I agree.
I am biased because this is part of our network. WE do events like this all over socal almost every night. We do bbqs, bonfires and dinners before many of our raids. We would love to have nick join us more often
Ruben Costa yup, we certainly hope he joins more!
Alan Wilkes: do you guys have a social media outlet where you post the dates/times of your raids? And do you travel across SGV?

I am stunned with the amount of people that showed up in Highland Park even to the parks that you guys went to. I know Highland Park and it avenue gangs! But you guys made it seem like an ordinary night who love to play the game and enjoy to battle each gym out there. This brought so much joy to me, not because I'm also an instinct player but the fact that it's more safe to run out at night and see people playing Pokémon as a group! Thanks to all that helped out and hope to run into the fellow Instinct players out there! #HighlandParkforInstinct
I am proud of you guys, luis
Luis Garcia Luis you were the one we met that night right :>?
This video made my Instinct heart very proud :)
I thankfully found an Instinct chat in my local area last fall after months of solo play and frequently meet up with a few of them.
Training/battling/catching in Pokémon Go is so much more fun with other players IMO.
see, my situation is like that girl in the middle of the vid, except when i go to check the gym nobody is there and it is spoofers -___-
Folder me either xc
me too. There's a gym half a block from my grandma's house. My cousins live there and no matter how hard we try spoofers are always controlling it.
We got rid of most spoofers in my town. But recently, spoofers from my own team (Instinct) have shown up. They knock down the lowest people in the gym with their second accounts, and then put their cheated in Pokémon at the top. One guy is in all 5 gyms in my neighbourhood and in each gym, he has an exact 3300 dragonite. And I really mean exact. I reported them a couple of times but nothing changes.
Folder report them!
thorzyan I don't know if you can. How do you prove that someone has an account that they use to kick players out so they can replace them? We all know it happens but what can we really do?
that moment when mystic is gonna take all those gyms back in 30 minutes
George Hinds I live in Lincoln Heights, literally 1 min away from Highland Park. haha I'm gon get working, who else wants to join?
#TeamMystic
George Hinds and valor sits there eating popcorn watching
What team are you ? I'm mystic
None of my friends play Pokemon GO
did you even watch the video? Almost nobody in that group new each other before PoGo
88ElZany but he had friends that knew about it
No need to explain..I think ppl know what I'm saying
thank god no one plays. my gf does thoe since more mons are here
Go make some friends that play Pokemon GO, try finding people playing the game while playing it yourself, look on facebook for a group of players in your local area, don't miss out on the enjoyment there is to be had just because you don't have friends that play the game.
Very nice vid bro, kudos to you bringing something different and exciting!!! Keep going Nick!!!!
This is probably the smartest thing I've seen done by players and still staying within the parameters (and the spirit) of the game. Good job gang!
This video is bittersweet. I wish there was this type of social group here where I'm at in southeast Georgia. Team Mystic, btw...
This video was personally the best and my favorite video you put up. I think you and everyone should do more cooperations. And thank you so much Nick!!!!!!!
Watched this 3 years later, god I don’t miss the old gym system
4 years now
I still do
i kinda but I also don’t knowing what pokémon we have now
That's great. That's how this game should be played
No, no it shouldn't.
Smokey 316 why not?
Reggie Plays Pokémon Go yeah Smokey, wynaut?
Smokey 316 Why not?
I also don't like the idea that the game "should" be played this way. The game can be played like this and it can work but I don't want to "need" to play the game like this. A lot of gyms in a lot of areas stay at 10 for a while because it's too difficult for one person to do alone.

I do like people but I don't want to need people to do something that I should honestly be able to do alone.
Wow, i was surprised by the beginning, because i thought none was getting out and play anymore.
Nick this is probably the most meaningful video you have made. It is so amazing how Pokemon Go can bring people together like these guys and just create a bond, friendships, social life. This is s great way to keep people doing fun things instead of bad things I think. I am inspired!! Thank you.
Greetings from Houston, Tx.
Nick it great to see people coming together to play Pokémon go
wish i had that many instinct players near me :(
i feel your pain
I've made everyone I know become instinct so I made my own group.
same
Where do you live bro?
Instinct players are the true players. Valor and Mystic are always hacking
It makes me sad to see the game is nothing like this today
THANK YOU NICK FOR REPRESENTING INSTINCT TEAM AND EVEN THOU WE HAVE JUST A FEW PLAYERS. WE HAVE A PRIDE AND WE CAN OVER COME THE OBSTACLES WITH OTHER TEAMS. MY TWO FAVORITE COLORS ARE BLUE AND RED BUT I WANTED TO BE THE UNDERDOG AND BEING INSTINCT HAVE HELPED US JOIN FORCES WITH OTHER INSTINCT PLAYERS BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW THAT WE CAN BE BETTER IF WE PLAY TOGETHER JUST LIKE YOU DID IN THIS VIDEO. SO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU DO NICK AND THANK YOU.
WOW this is amazing! I wish I have a group of cool people like that to play with in my area
where do you live?
Where do you live and what team are you?
^^ instinct pussies looking to get a gang going!!
instinct in socal already is connected in a network of hundreds
Dubie Salty? 😆😆😢👎🏽
One of Nick's better videos. I like the documentary feel that it has.
Really hope for a Chat System to get into the game too. Just like in Ingress, chatting to players upto a certain distance so we can meet up and attack gyms.
As a solo player and an introvert who doesn't have any friends that still play this game, this really worries me about the future update when even more importance will be given to team work.
Alwin Crasto maybe you should start teaming up some?
micahsky92 It looks like I may have to but I don't want to feel so helpless playing alone that I'm forced to seek out and team up with people I don't know. Being an introvert is hard.
I hope I can discover my fellow team players through the game or something.
Alwin Crasto I'm like the most introverted and shy person ever. I play mostly alone, but yesterday I saw a guy who was batteling a realy annoying gym and I just came over to him and asked which team is he in. It turned out that he's instinct, just like me, so we took down tbe gym together. I was realy surpdised that I actually came to a total stranger and played pomemon with him. I don't usually do such things, 'cause like I said, I'm very shy. This is a hudge achivement for me and I so happy I did it. I encourage you to do the same. It may sound hard, but its actualy really satifying! 😊
Tosze Wjeloryb oh that's great! I hope things pan out well for us shy folks. If a mobile game can get me to socialize I'll be really happy. It's just that I'm having my doubts considering that Pokémon Go activity is really low in my area and absolutely everyone spoofs. I've actually had someone walk up to me as I was attacking a gym and be amazed that I didn't have GPS Fly or something installed to play from home.
Alwin Crasto I just hope that Niantic releases another way to obtain coins like AI battling so that no person, team, or whatever can get completely dwarfed in the game. The supply and demand of gyms is really bad, and people like you and myself will really get wrecked if lvl 10 gyms created in 10minutes becomes the norm.
Nick;
This was one of my favorite videos you have made.
I joined a Team Instinct Group here in Miami and we are paling on doing
Gym raids weekly
Thanks
David
If only I knew people who played the game. All the gyms by me are lvl 10.
RahzelGza same here, it sucks
RahzelGza Go to popular Pokémon spot and ask around I am sure there is a group by you
MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS!!!! SO INTERESTING TO WATCH.
A group of like 12 people standing in a circle, looking down, outside, in public, during the night must have been a curious sight
living in East London wishing this area was safe enough to go out past 10pm with more then 2 people to play like this...
Hey! I'm team instinct! I'm in Glendale a ton. It is where I usually play. I have been seeing these guys gyms up and trying to hop into them when possible. I've been wanting to play with them! If you guys see this! Let me know!
If you are serious about this, send me a facebook message. facebook.com/mary.camacho.31924
Anyone in North Glendale around Montrose and La Crescenta? Almost no Instinct up here.
Nick, this is my favorite video to date. The voice over was very documentary style and I loved it. Seeing this group makes me excited for the future of Pokémon Go. After watching this video I'm determined to organize a group by me.
Holy shit, I didn't realise there was that many Instinct players in the world.
Wish I had friends..... think it would be cool to start one of these, but my friends and most of my town is Valor (and they don't play anymore)
Where are you from? If you have kik i have a group on there. We have people from all over and all teams. Even if no one is nearby its still cool to have people to talk to and share that also play!! Hmu on kik if your interested BritneyJade21
Courtney Michelle am from India am team Valor and here in India deres not enough players to play with or even talk about pokemon go. can i join u guys in ur kik group so atleast i can share my experience and get to know about you people too
Rahul Mukherjee sure kik me BritneyJade21
Rahul Mukherjee where do u live in India,I am in Delhi from team valor...??
Am from kolkata
Started a Mystic/Instinct group in my town. Several of us get together to take down Valor gyms in our Valor heavy town. Thanks for the gym taking tips.
well not many people are doing this but team instinct and DFW area in TX
I'm instinct but my Pokémon are crap
I'm in Team Instinct, but I'm going to Akon, so if we could join, it'll work out.
Hey, that's still something, my highest is 2080cp right now :/
kyle alexander lol I'm valor in dfw
kyle alexander I'm instinct in Dfw area!
Awesome video Nick! Applaud these guys for keeping the game alive!!
Nick, this was the most enjoyable video you've put out since probably your first few episodes in Japan in my opinion. It was so cool to see people networking like this through PoGO. I've met up with a few people in my local area and we even started up our own Facebook group. All of us are really competitive when it comes to gym battles too, which is great. I look forward to seeing some good changes to the gym rework that's hopefully coming up soon.
Very sweet Vid! we need more of this group play imo
Another great job Nick bringing people together. The world needs more Nicks.
I'm so proud of our little Nick for going out and making more friends. On a more serious note, I trained up a gym to level 8 and it was torn down to level 3 by spoofers in a matter of 10 minutes. There was no one around me. I hope they fix this problem soon.
honestly the only thing I enjoy about Pokemon is taking down gyms with friends. I'm on team instinct and I'm only level 31 but I still enjoy it
This is what Pokémon go is all about. I wish there was a group of instinct players in the Coachella valley.
doooood Santa came early this year
great video nick, do more.
the fans love you ✌✌
I love this...wish I had people to play with like this
What state are you in?
Lol awesome video Nick. I'm one of the valor players in Glendale that takes out Birdy and those other guys once in a while. Valor use to rule the area before these guys got together to take over Glendale. Really love this video
and look out for KenThe1 you guys.
Kenneth Hom can you give me one of those contacts from the Glendale instinct area, im lvl 30 instinct
Kenneth Hom can you give me one of those contacts from the Glendale instinct area, im lvl 30 instinct
Sorry I don't know any of them personally. I just see them in gyms around my house all the time
@@matthewlopez2546 hey Matthew, u still play?
@@LigerZero248 yes sir do you ?
I was recently added to a group of Valor players, thanks to them I have been getting 50-70 coins per day. They said soon I will be getting 100 Coins and 5k Stardust. I could of never of got this without their help, and you only need like 1 or 2 people to do this and that is awesome. But the more people the higher the level you can push the Gym up to after you knock it down. You also use barley any resources so it's a total win situation. Glad you see you getting more social out there Nick.
Wow, wish we could have run into you! We're team Mystic and live in Highland Park and those gyms have been level 10 forever. It's great if you manage to get a Pokemon in them, but sucks if you can't, since there's nothing you can do about it.
Well, now he freed those gyms up for you to take. The downside for their strategy is, the easier it is to build up, the easier it is to take down. Most of those Instinct gyms looked like they were only stocked with Charizards, Blastoise, and Venusaurs; not gym stoppers like Snorlax or Blissey.
Eric P that was intentional. We wanted to make fun gyms. No matter what we put, we knew mystic would take them back. It takes multiple raids to make a gym stable. We also wish we could see more gym diversity o this was our shoutout
Shannon Talbott i live in highland park im a valor player assholes left an all blissey gym ...
daniel Reyes lol awesome
I wonder how many people can destroy a Blissy
We had a few Blissy's on a gym here in Orlando - probably tourists passing through - it took researching the best pokemon and getting past that timer on not one, but two of those things. I ended up leaving (dinner was over) before taking the gym, but at least it was available to most players once those two Blissy's were out of the way.
Team Instinct I seen a instinct gym that had 64,000 prestige and had 6 blissies. I just turn my phone off and let it go.
Ive seen it done with machamp, scizor, and donphan. Ive heard that ursaring can do it too. you want the move Counter for the fast attack is what it boils down to, or to use very, very fast attackers. The best option is to have a second or third player.
If you prestige the gym to 50k before you add more than the first pokemon, you will still get prestige from adding pokemon, capping at 64k. Just thought you might want to know.
Team Instinct I can take down 3000+ blisseys in around 70 seconds with a 2200 alakazam or even faster with a DT/Outrage 3000 dragonite
this episode went so fking quick. The reason is it was something completely new. Maybe the best episode.
This happens in The Netherlands, Europe for months now. Whole squads of cars / bikers going around, mostly Mystic (me) en Valor (the enemy lol) and Instict is some kind of Swiss lol. It's really cool. We have students, fathers, mothers, even a grandma playing along, going gym to gym. This is really cool, it creates a bond, it's really like a legit sport / hobby, taking eachother's gyms again and again and check the map who owns which areas like it's a battlefield lol
What i think they should fix? Prioritise in BANNING SPOOFERS !!
Wow! I want that kind of a map and community as well!
Nonkel Coño hey man, what area are you from? I live in the Netherlands aswell and I would like to join (team instinct)
Dope vid. This is an excellent idea.
Team Instinct - Toronto, Canada.
Where's my fellow Canadians at?
team instinct from Mississauga.

Team instinct, London Ontario
I LOVE this video!! This is how the game should be played with 12+ players working together to take down level 10 gyms easily! Even though you guys are Instinct, I really love that it is INDIVIDUAL people vs. a bunch of spoofers or multi-accounters. Recently a bunch of Team Instinct players came to my couch gym...and they built it up to 10 easily(but there were a few of them that had more than one account, which is quite a problem in my area....sadly!) Suffice to say, my couch gym does not stay Team Instinct for long cause I despise the players playing multiple accounts. I'm cool with Instinct/Mystic if there is ONE person for ONE account. Shout out to you guys working together!! :) Btw, Team Valor here! :D
We, instincts, may not be the team with the most players, but we are well coordinated and that makes us very competitive.
Hey Trainer Tips, I am on team mystic and I realize that team mystic has the most spoofers. I thought that was really cool how u met up with those other trainers and defeated gyms.
We have 3 groups in Colorado. Smallest of the 3 has 150 members. We help each other if an area gets too much of a single team. Mystic has a group that is our rival with 460 members, but not all of them are active. Prestiging is the part with the most strategy. Raids are organized with maps and numbers for the gym order. The group is very aware of spoofers and has organized a way to report them with massive amount of evidence. We still have spoofer issues but it's not as bad as other areas of the country and world.
How do I join these groups?!
Team Valor Ghent represented here!
We are with a group of 40 people and are recruiting more and more people in the area, it's awesome !!!!
vlaerenko What city of Cali? I'm trying to gather a few players lol
vlaerenko if this is true I'm a committed and dedicated Team Valor Pokémon Trainer currently in Long Beach, CA and would be honor to help and join you guys.
Gustavo Castro, Yo man I would be down to help and take down some Mystic & Instinct gyms, let me know.
Eric Diaz i forgot to say that Ghent is a Belgian city 😉
emieldesmet2003 Ga naar 'team valor Gent' op fb, de rest volgt vanzelf.
I been thinking of building a group like that for some time now, any suggestions. Any help would be much appreciated :)
Recruit recruit recruit. If you see someone training up a yellow track the, down. Get their number. Find a platform to chat on and update each other on raids and catches. Check Fb groups.
isaac a make a Facebook group. Make posts in the Pokémon Go pages of your local college inviting people to join it and tell them what you want to do with it. It's easy
Capernicus Sensei thanks man I think Ill try that. I'll probably start with FB, since I'm a rural player.
sirmeatwad will do. I don't know why I never use Facebook. Great suggestion. Ty
Convince Niantic to make the gym system better, thats step 1.
Everytime some other channel starts to emulate this one he always adds something that makes the content that much better! I love it.
I am so glad to see how much people enjoy watching our team do what we do
Instinct x Las Vegas --- come get these hands booyyyyyy
Terrence Bierke I'm Instinct in Vegas, are you down to take down gyms together?
Eddie Rueda I'm in Vegas too instinct level 36 😄
I'm in the UNLV area
we have a group of team instinct players in vieanna :)
its like one of our members (a spoofer and multiaccount player who have no time for the real playstyle) is becoming a little legend here in vienna, becouse he is so anoying for the other teams.
Thomas Fabian we have the same problem with a few peoole
Thomas Fabian. The GHOST TRAINER
That mic has improved your sound quality so much. Your quality was never bad but your voice sounds so much smoother with it. Upping that production value like a boss.
Nick should create a Discord Server for this community...
Discord isn't super great for organization of this scale. Slack is actually much better.
we already have a discord
we have a discord and 13 facebook messenger group chats
Haven't been able to find a single one of those communities for Instinct that's active :/
AssaultBird2454 nick is too big for that
TEAM VALOR: AUSTRALIA, VICTORIA, MELBOURNE, ESSENDON
LOOKING TO FORM A GROUP!!!
Its good sign you actually play with other people around . Atleast not just you and cassy . Well done .
Any team valor Northern Kentucky players have/looking for a group to play with?
instinct power 🤘
Nick this is your best video. Like not even close. I formed a team out here in Utah, and it is awesome, and is the only reason why we still play. I sure hope Niantic doesn't mess up this gym rework.
Omg this is fucking insane... you know bro... nice job... thumbs up on this one
Hugo Valentin Gaming love your vlogs Hugo too!
Shinobi Kowai thanks ...
I never comment on here, but Team Mystic DFW, Texas.
We have a GroupMe & Discord app for the Dallas, Fort Worth & Denton areas so if you want to be added please feel free to DM me your player card & number so I can add you to the groups.
We are a group of Team Instinct players in our town, we have been doing this since the start of October. Started out with 10people but as we went on we grew to a larger group, met people at the gyms while we where training to make it stronger so more people could join. Now we are 20+ active players who constantly plays and help out each other! The other teams started calling us "the yellow maffia" :D Go Team Instinct!
Now I need to find a mystic group to join in Anaheim ca
Kaiserkase I'm in Anaheim but Valor :p
I'm going to go take down your guns!!
Gyms
check facebook pogo groups. there are a lot of mystic raids in OC. someone on team mystic can add you to the chat if they know you're interested
Kaiserkase mystic! Let's take over disney
No food vlog 😭
I love how Pokemon GO brings people together. Pokemon = LOVE
Too bad it's so hard to find a large group of high level female Instinct players. I'd be terrified walking with a large group of guys like that lol
Great video though! Looked so fun!
Jess I am female and level 35. It can be scary, but be safe, go with people, and stay in your car!
Bring a guy you trust along. Or just talk to a few of them for an hour and you'll see they care more about pokemon than girls
Jess we have Instinct females in our group. There were 3+ females if closely look at the video.
Yeah I noticed that when I watched again. That's reassuring :)
I would imagine being in a large group of men would make you feel more safe, not less safe. I don't quite get the unease you have, but at least you know you wouldn't be the only female.
Team Instinct best team ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Shelvin Kumar I agree
When the game came out and all of my friends played as much as I did I hoped to one day have a group of high lvl friends to raid gyms like those guys but slowly all of my friends lost interest in the game and don't really play anymore. Glad to see that these guys made it happen.
Team Valor 🙃
Would like to have someone to play with even if you're not on my team lol
Fontana, California
Error :
No friends found
Nick I'm glad to see you guys trained these gyms up legitimately. Instinct over my way makes low level accounts to drop magikarps in and train them up. Then they knock the magikarps out and put their high cp Pokémon in gyms.
Team Valor Los Angeles, CA where you at though?
Unknown God what area? holding down gyms in sfv. valor level 38
chrisyoutubemasta ehobby Anywhere. We could meet. follow me on Instagram @juan.x.torres

Anyone team Mystic in the Seattle area?
I'm Mystic, and I'll be in Seattle for the summer starting on Sunday!
Derek Price
Team mystic in Ballard, surrounded by a sea of yellow
Come join the pokemongoseattle reddit's discord server:
discord.gg/MKqDK97
Hit up #teamrequest to access the team-specific channels, where we have some more gym talk.
And yea, we know about Ballard... hope to see you discord, and we can talk more then.
Derek Price use the discord link. drop into the #teamrequest channel, write what team you are on and you will be assigned to your teams private chat to meet up with other people in you team. all 3 teams are pretty active and there are a lot of group gym take downs. there are also neighborhoods set up for local chatting with other players for doing lure parties and what not. pretty much the only thing that kept the game alive over winter was this discord server. and the moderators are all anti spoofer/cheaters
I think that this is awesome. #teaminstinct
dude, do this more often. this is such a social game and its amazing how it brings people together. :)
I'm team instinct, I'm in the whittier area! Hit me Up!!!
We have a really big network of instinct from all over socal we do raids like this somewhere in socal a few times a week. We did one in Whittier, actually.
