here are now more Pokémon to collect in Pokémon Go than in any of the franchise's main series games.

Today's new Pokémon Go in-game event adds a menagerie of creatures from the franchise's fictional Paldea region, featured in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, bringing the total number of species available in Pokémon Go up to a whopping 814.

That's more than the record number of Pokémon available to use in any main series game, with the most being 809 in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

I lost a bunch of legendaries when my Pokébank subscription lapsed.
I've been collecting legendaries in Go for ages to rebuild my stable, and I've only just realized that Go legendaries don't count until you've had one in the destination game. Which means that Go legendaries are totally without value in terms of collecting a first of anything.

Oh damn, I forgot about Pokebank. Farewell forgotten 'mon.

Seems like a coin toss on whether or not your mons got wiped when your subscription ended.
If you can dig up a 3DS with Pokébank and whatever the intermediary app was, you might still be able to pull them all out, now that Bank (the service) is now free.

Dude pokebank is free now?

Yeah, when the eShop shut down they made Bank completely free. In the app it appears as you have an extremely large number of days of trial.

Pretty sure you can just reactivate your sub for like a month and get everything back to at least transfer out.

Well now it's free forever, you just need to sideload the application itself.
Some stuff got wiped. It was never clear why it happened to some people and not others.
