"The Fourth Great Migration! [Megathread]"

#PokemonGO: Just in time for our Nest Atlas, the 4th Great Migration has occurred, travelers!These sort of server-side updates tend to precede new app updates, so we're excited to see what the end of this week holds. Perhaps Niantic will be migrating nests with each bi-weekly rollout?We are seeing Niantic continue to crack down on bots as they prepare to enter India, China, and other major markets. Tonight several major scanners found their bots presented with Captchas and other changes to attempt to combat illicit access to their servers. We remain hopeful that they'll be able to get the bot situation under control so maybe (just maybe) we'll be able to hold a deserted gym longer than a few minutes out here in Manhattan. :)With that said, it's time to:Add Your New Data to the Global Nest Atlas!Migrations are the reason we built the Nest Atlas in the first place. For those new to the Road, you should know that Nests reported on the Atlas can 'change species' when reports dictate.So if your local squirtle nest is now a rhyhorn nest, simply click the nest, report the new species, and it will change within a few minutes to the benefit of future travelers in your area of the Road!Help us learn what the world's nests just shifted to!Add Your Reports Here: http://ift.tt/2dTGmT5 happens to the Nest Atlas if the Migrations happen every 2 weeks or so moving forward?The Atlas was designed with irregular migrations in mind! Here's what happens:Every nest will soon be marked 'unverified'Every report submitted after 2016-10-06 00:30:00 UTC (the time of the 4th Migration) will count to verify a Nest!So when you learn what your new local nests are, just add your report and the Atlas will soon reflect the new landscape for all to enjoy.Travel safe,- dronpes - via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2dLIpqL
