Ah gently caress. Hope everybody remembers how much fun it is to get 1-shot and/or trapped in the Dodge bug hell every time that whale sonofabitch uses a charged attack.

gently caress blizzard Kyogre forever.

Not to mention Kyogre is the hardest legendary to catch in the game.

Seems like a new addition to coincide with this event, probably to quell the complaints of chained events making it difficult to catch Ditto as the trash pokemon are mostly gone during them.

I'm only just now remembering how much Kyogre likes to swim to our right and stay there forever. Also the absurd distance makes it easier for Kyogre to attack again after an attack because our balls have like twice the hangtime to get there.

yeah, they seem to have added chances for ditto to spawn as some of the event-boosted pokemon recently (I know it happened with the last one and maybe even the one before that)

it's a good change

Add on to that hardly anyone's weather is going to be rainy during June to give it a CP boost bonus. Water ain't in that high of a demand where we have Vaporeon and loads more water types already in general.

Like Ho-Oh was somewhat worth it even if you weren't trying to collect a shiny because a lot of people are gonna have sunny/clear weather right now as summer's starting and you can get these strong, instant 2700cp things with Solar Beam.

Today I learned that the Go+/Go-tcha only use regular Poke Balls. I actually thought the game would use the lowest-rank ball you have in your bag. Guess not!

It's a bummer so unless you're traveling 35mph or less its best just to set the game to recognize pokestops.

I usually wait 'til I have about 50-100 regular Pokeballs to set autocatch on. I also make a habit of using Great balls for everything.

Tbh I throw out great balls now and use ultra balls for manual catching. Why use something with a 1.5 multiplier when ultras have a 2.0? Getting rid of great balls clears bag space for ultras so I constantly have over 100.

In other news, kinda disappointed they didn't introduce clampearl during this event

That makes sense. I usually have a surplus of both, but I started using the greats back when ultras were harder to collect.

When the dragon egg tree first came out, and right before he disappeared, we were doing a ho raid, and I threw in my giant tree dragon as a first Pokemon just so everyone could see the size difference. Of course if that guy has blizzard, is probably a quick one shot and a ring of people screaming nooo.

I have lost all powers of reading comprehension and counting ability hours ago
I would assume people would see the auto select and notice everything suggested is probably resistant or neutral to ice. Although since a raid I was in today failed the first time due to reject auto select Pokemon joining after the first teams fainted, like Snorlax and....exploud....who knows.

My 12 year daughter caught her first shiny today, a little orange Shellder. She was so happy she almost jumped out of her skin and that’s why this game is still so friggin fun to play

Also my 6 year old son refuses to call it a Magikarp and therefore it will always be known to me as “Sideways Floppin Fish”

If it's Blizzard, the game wouldn't auto-select Exeggutor for us. I don't think that many people would change the game's recommendations just to do a gimmick. I mean, I would, but I don't think most people are even brave enough to set their own party to prioritize damage first even if it's a defensive type mismatch.

I somehow managed to load up Ingress without killing the Go process, and the Go-tcha stayed connected. It's pretty great when you can walk around doing Ingress stuff while Go keeps collecting items for you.

I saw a kid and his older brother walking around during the last community day, and the little kid flipped out when he got a shiny. :3:

I had just evolved my first Gyarados, right before I found out that it was a step in the Mew quest. The 4x candy event, and now the water event has gotten me almost back up to 400 again. I thought it would take forever!

This event seems a little less awesome than adventure week. Maybe because water isn't that far away? I liked catching the gen 3 fossils and aerodactyl is my favourite. There doesn't seem to be a "chase" raid for this event.

This Saturday looks to be interesting. My coworker has to work, and his ex won't take the kid out anywhere to get Larvitar, so I'll be taking his phone and playing for him. Then my niece won't be back in time to play, where she is currently there's absolutely nothing spawning, so I have to get another phone to play for her. Thankfully my mom said I can use her cell phone, and in the midst of all this I've got to play with my own account on my own phone. I might look like one of those Goobers with one account per team. Yay.

There are people that “solo” raids with a dozen devices strapped into trapper keepers around here. You’re not even close to goober status.
