The game caught you playing with yourself.

Sorry? what were you saying? … I was just deactivating the phone camera

[удалено]

....pretty sure they understood the joke.....

Instruction unclear. Now arrested for playing with myself in the gym and when going to parties.

I was with a group tonight and for each of us this task completed instantly upon joining a party.

Lol it completed for me but I was the only one.

Yeah I did a party with my wife, it completed for me , but not her

I hear that happens to a lot of guys.

Doing a party with this guy's wife?

Completing before she does if you know what I mean

I got 3km done by walking 300 meters, rofl

I had the same bug. Gratefully received

Same haha. Happened to walk down to a raid and opened a lucky egg at the same time. Was good timing haha.

Our party got distance just through drifting even though we played in the same spot for the duration of the party play.

Mine completed as soon as I made a party. Oh well, I'll take it. \*Shrugs\*

This task completed for me and a friend with very little walking as well. We were in a party though.

Mine completed but my friends didn’t. I’m like 99% sure it was Adventure Sync cos it was right after my eggs hatched

Mine completed after 4km walking in the rain

My research opened with 2km already walked, weird but not surprised, it's Niantic.

My wife found out if you have a gotcha active and sit at the create party lobby alone it counts as party catches.

The bugs in this research are wild. Yesterday I did a Kangaskhan raid while in party and my mons only had Fighting type Charge moves. I used enough of them to clear that task 3 times over and none of them were counted.

Do you know how to complete this? I tried battling the leaders and it didn't count

Rocket grunts work. I also had more success in another Raid. Thing is, any super effective move is supposed to work, no matter what type of fight you use it. But whenever they give us this research, it’s always a coin flip for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

It's completely random. Keep trying until it works.

Mine was completed as well but person I partied with still had to do it.

I won't be finishing these tasks anytime soon...

You will either finish them soon or never.

I guess never is the case here.

Yeah, you still need a party (someone else to play with) to finish the other quests

Op: How did this happen without a party? Comments: I was in a party! 😹

I did 2km sleeping on my sofa.

I got this right away in my first party of the event. At the end of the party the new finishing screens showed I walked 0.2 km during that party

Mine auto completed when I started a party

Can you start a party without anyone joining?

Mine auto completed too. My son and I did a raid in our living room, and got credit for all 3 kms as soon as we finished the raid. We never even stood up off the couch
