Once you get Pinecone and the evolution in your Pokedex, that quest is a total throwaway

And once you've got both genders of the evolution. And a shiny. In both genders. Of both forms. Part-timer :colbert:

They spawn in the wild, but good luck ever seeing one without a scanner. I got my first one at 9pm in light industrial zoned areas parking lot

Wtf. This is like going to St Louis and seeing sunkern everywhere, I don't see them outside of events, ever

I've only previously seen one miltank in the wild in my area, but caught three more yesterday. Seems like they've definitely upped the spawn rate for this event.

I just saw a Pineco raid for the first time today, but I was driving and couldn't stop. Are they really rare or did they just start spawning? Gonna be bummed if it was something I'll never see again.

I was visiting LA last weekend, stayed in Santa Monica, and spent some time at Santa Monica pier. Some thoughts:

- holy crap, there are a lot of spawns there, especially rare stuff.

- holy crap, there are a lot of spoofers there. At least that made it very easy to do a few 4/5 bowser raids: the lobby would fill up almost immediately.

- I tried to collect lots of cool gifts from the pier. Of course, I would never get gifts from the cool stops (but Starbucks would always give me a gift, natch.) I wish there were a way to swap/substitute the postcards because grinding for gifts feels especially silly.

Anyway, that's my story! Hope goon friends enjoy the gifts, like Zoltar or the Pacific Wheel.

Glorious bastards... :allears:

So is there a guide anywhere that details how to make a consistent effort to finding Mewtwo? I know that I need to get an EX Raid Pass and to get that I need to be a certain rank with various gyms and from there it’s RNG. Noted PokeHipster Trainer Tips said in one of his videos “we know which gyms to target and how many badges you need to get an EX Raid Pass” but then failed to elaborate on what those details were.

Black Feather

Call someone who cares.
As far as I know, to get an EX Raid pass you just need at least one raid in one eligible gym. Everything else is up to RNG. EX gyms are always found in parks, and to be eligible they need to get a certain raid traffic so you'll find them only in cities, if you're a rural player you're out of luck.

Pineco itself is crazy rare, most of the time. At least near me, it is.

I've seen more in two days than in the past two years.

There's a punk-rear end bitch who works in my building who uses two accounts...camps a Blissey and a Vaporeon with them. Then when I try to take the gym, he spams Golden razzes. Pissing me off.

Yeah, sponsored gyms as well I guess. I didn't think about that because they don't exist in my country as far as I know.

e: also "parks" according to OSM, which doesn't always exactly mean actual parks in the real world if the mapping is off.

Keep doing it and let him burn off all his golden razzes. It's a hell of a lot easier to farm potions and revives than golden razzes.

Bah. Getting back into the game after being off since 2016. Looked up where the EX Raid is near me. It's right on the main intersection in town, on a little spot of grass with no convenient parking. So, pretty much, I imagine everyone gets their gym badge up for it by driving past and spinning.

This is a college town, everyone already drives like complete dipshits. I wonder how many rearends that gym has caused...

I actually enjoy that part of the game, keeps me from knocking out a gym too easily if someone is paying attention.

I don't know, I guess knowing the people here and talking poo poo when they get booted is a good time. Hell, my sister sent me texts last month as she was murdering a gym I was in and all I could do was laugh. I couldn't berry in time so it was even better.

Caught this gently caress today finally!
