For some reason it seems to be the most weather-affected of any spawn. Any other weather you'll never see one, but if it's partly cloudy they're just everywhere.

Still never seen one :shrug:

I've been seeing quite a few Baltoys during sunny weather. Gotta love the dual-types.

Hatched my first Tangela today from my last non-Gen3 egg. Pretty pleased with that.

I'm never ever getting a loving Chansey/Blissey though.

If they do a valentine's event again you might get a chansey, they actually spawned then for a change. Otherwise if they've been pulled from 10k eggs for gen3, yeah...good luck!

I've gotten a grand total of 2 Chanseys from eggs, and that's it. I've resorted to just walking one of them for the candy so I can finally get a Blissey.

I'm very stupid.
This week's EX raid pass round was unusual here. No passes dropped at all in the usual places, only in some peripheral parts of the city and in some nearby smaller cities. I wonder if they are changing it up.

PoGo updated its OpenStreetMap data. Now that I know they will do it, I'll fix some more stuff in my hometown.

There's finally a marker for a building that was put up a decade ago, and the streets running through it were finally removed. :toot:

My friend was almost in tears when she told me she got a pass this week. She also got them the past two times they were out.

The two lvl 40s in our main group have yet to get one. Me, I'm happy I just finally got the one Mewtwo. Now to convince my friend she has to do the raid still, one person not there could break the battle.

Fairly sure they need to be trigfered by activity each wave. At least the non-sponsored ones, who loving knows with sponsored ones.

I'd say sponsored gyms are the best bet for raid passes right now. There was a starbucks in my area that had an EX raid on 01/24 and sent out passes for another EX today. That's less than a week of eligible raids, so it looks like there's no cooldown as long as enough people battle there. I don't know if this applies to non-sponsored park gyms or not.

Willsun posted:

Ice is gonna be good if the next legendary raids are the dragon ones like Latias (2x), Latios (2x), or Rayquaza (4x). If it's the titans though, they'll be easy enough because everyone has enough fire, water, and ground types. It'd be nice to stock up on Regice in preparation for the dragon ones if the titans come before them.

Obviously regice doesn't have the greatest DPS but I think it might have the best duel ranking among ice types, meaning it does the most damage before dying.

I raided the poo poo out of a Sprint Store and a Starbucks right next to each other, got the EX Pass for the Sprint location. Sponsored gyms are the primary way to go (but there were 3 EX raids issued in my area and only 1 was a sponsored gym)...

We have 3-4 lvl40s still without an invite. The system is so terrible people hesitate to celebrate even getting a pass.

I do have a strategy now though. Single raid on an ex eligible gym, preferably a 3 star raid. It may be puck, but the amount of people around me who did a 3star and got a pass far outweigh the number of people who didn't on all of our waves. Any other raids I do will be in other locations.

Non EX pass, but when do we go back to getting gen 1 and 2 in the eggs? Stocking up on the good poo poo now.

This is why I hesitate to raid when traveling out of town. I would be devastated to get a pass for a raid in Las Vegas, when no one who was picked could make it back :lol:

Hey folks - if your neighborhood looks like poo poo on PoGo, make updates to OpenStreetMaps and fix the gently caress-ups. I made some edits soon after the switchover, and they just showed up in the PoGo app sometime this past week. So it takes a while to update, but it will update.

I'm wondering if I should update things to show the drainage canal that is dry 99.9% of the year but gushes with water during monsoon rains. It would be nice to get a semi regular riverbank spawn nearby.

Oh so delightful.

I caught a 2270 Kyorge.

And a 2328 one ran.

Jesus gently caress the legendary system is awful. I should have rare resources I toss at things I really want, instead of an overflow of golden berries.

From what I've seen, once OSM updates, so long as there were spawns there to begin with, it should change them, especially since tge start of weather effects caused a ton of water spawns to appear in our other dry river beds

So with OSM, is it possible to turn your house into a park that's also a creek and wow weird it's also a nest?

What effect does a park actually have? My whole town and a large area around it has been covered by the dark green "park" texture for months, I'm not sure if it dramatically affected spawns though.

No real effect outside the potential for a nest/cluster spawns. Only other upside is that park gyms can host EX raids.

So it’s only the same gyms every time? That sucks, turnover must be nuts at those. I presume Silph Road is keeping a database of those locations?
