Once you get the hang of how to curveball it it's not that bad.

Plus my local discord is dead anyways, and it's not as if I can leave work on a whim. So yeah it's a lovely system. Edit: I'm also 0 for 3 on Kyogre, and having 7 balls for being the lone red in a sea of yellow because that's who's around me at work is frustrating.

Snow must be worse than 120* weather cause in the summer/fall we still get fuckers out raiding. Time for new raid bosses. May I suggest: Tier 1: babies. Tier 2: Seadra, Hitmonchan/lee Tier 3: Tangela Tier 4: Dragonite, Gyarados, Ampharos

We can already put them in gyms, so why not. Tier 3 also: Umbreon, Espson, Hounddoom

So yeah it's a lovely system. Might I suggest making friends with people you meet at raids? Really talk tho, the best places to raid if you don't have a regular group in your hood as far as finding people are capitol/first hill and downtown(apparently the trick with downtown according to a friend is that you have to be there *exactly when* the eggs hatch, I imagine part spoofers, part people in the high rises above who can't coordinate to wait for someone)

Psychobabble! posted:Might I suggest making friends with people you meet at raids? I live well north of Seattle, so raids are few and far between and I rarely see enough people gather for a level 5 raid. I work in Bellevue, so that's my best bet, and it's never the same people at the raids. As much as I would love to leave work for over an hour and a half to grind down a gym, I'm usually not afforded that luxury when I'm at my job

Team contribution I don't fault because it gives more reason for coordinating team effort, and if say your team organized a bunch of members to take down the raid boss and one rival team member hops on and gets just as many balls as your team for doing almost nothing, that's unfair. I know in most circles no ones is really that hardcore about "MY TEAM IS BETTER THAN YOURS" with rivalry, but at least it gives the team aspect of the game some weight instead of being useless. Gym control on the other hand I wish they would set it so people can't attack gyms when there's like 10 minutes left before the raid egg hatches. It really sucks when a more dominant team shows up and snipes the gym control at the last second because they had nothing else to do and wouldn't have pushed the prior team out if there wasn't a raid going on. Showing up earlier than 10 minutes before to battle and take it over? Fine. At least it shows that you were purposefully there to do that instead of letting the more dominant team have a double bonus when they're already going to get the team damage contribution bonus. Chairman Mao posted:Saw this posted on my local discord, thought it might be useful for some people here: I don't even try for curve throws when it's in the middle. He's so far back it typically doesn't hit or even get inside a Nice circle. I feel like the only chance to get a curve throw in the center is to do as vertical of a slant as you can like the throw pictured in "Left" except start on as far right of your screen as possible. Doing what's pictured for "Center" is going to have the ball end up missing Kyogre because the curve makes it fly too much to the left by the time it reaches Kyogre's distance.

I mean, I get the idea behind coordinated raids, but I often have a hard enough time finding enough people for raids, let alone valor. I'll probably stop complaining when I catch Kyogre. I was personally a bigger fan of the 24 hour average gym rule that they had but I guess they didn't like it for some reason.

3/7. 3 of the Kyogres that escaped are where I couldn't use the AR+ function due to low light. The 4th escaped (probably) because he bugged out completely while in AR+ and then the game crashed.

The new update made Kyogre much more tolerable. I was going 1/4 so far but today I managed to catch 2 with the first 3 balls. It feels like it's right where its supposed to be for long curve throws. Edit: with server side changes it gets easier but stays far away. If you install the actual patch (apk is out for android) it gets much closer and bigger circle, making it much much easier.

I only throw curves in the middle, because it's the most consistent for me to get great throws.

I felt that way too at first but I'm bullseyeing zubats and other far away stuff I couldn't even dream of reaching before with this method after like one day of practice. It might take a few tries to figure out the exact angle and speed but as long as you throw fast and release the ball as far to the right as you can it should land perfectly in the center of the screen by the time it reaches kyogre. I did a couple raids yesterday and was nailing that stupid whale almost every time. Edit: make sure you make a / shape when you throw not a J shape, that extra momentum going right when you release the ball is what gets you there without hooking too far left.

I sit out in the cold rain for 15 minutes, finally a raid group shows up, I join and right as the battle starts I get a network error, then my game crashes. I restart it and my drift throws me away from the gym even though I'm standing right next to it and I'm unable to get back in as everyone beats it. Great use of a daily raid pass!

Caught a wild Breloom today which is great since I've never even seen a Shroomish. Now I just need one for the dex rather than having to wait for a nest to pop or hatching one then walking ~80km.

Heh. A wild Breloom was the very first Gen 3 mon I caught besides the Halloween ones, and I still haven't found enough Shroomish candy to evolve another one.

I too have only caught a random Breloom that spawned on me while fighting a gym.
