Spidercock? Here?
Windy weather. Caught like 125+ Beldum. One of them 100%. 7 Shinies.

Also evolved all the new Gen 4 spawning Pokemon and hatched a Shinx. My sister got like 8 new Pokemon with evolves, good spawns, a Torkoal trade, and her first Mewtwo raid.

Good day.

Hatched a male Shinx (woot!), got 3 shiny Metagrossi, and evolved about 4 more. Started with 250 candy, and have about that left now. Also left about 50 Pokemon minifigs around the park, and a few people came up and thanked me for putting them out.

There needs to be more raids during the hours though!

I had the same problem. There was a Gulpin and Furret on the map just before 2, then they turned into Beldum. I caught both of them and they turned back into what they were originally after being caught

:wtc: When I was doing raids for both my girlfriend's account and mine in the city, I went 0/4 on them, while she went 4/4. This was for a Mewtwo, weather boosted Mewtwo, weather boosted Kirlia, and a Shinx. I failed miserably for my account on all of them. With the Mewtwos, I couldn't even get the ball to shake twice even with Excellent Golden Berry throws, while her account caught with Great. Then the Kirlia on mine busted out of the ball without even shaking, even with a Golden Berry, it was just that determined to make sure my raid record was trash. Are weather boosted raid bosses harder to catch? I've never had a Kirlia be as hard to catch as a Mewtwo before.

And the Shinx? I thought, okay, this is a 1 star, there's no way my account will get screwed for this one too. Nope. For some reason, my phone refused to detect my finger, and kept dropping the ball when I spun it, or when it did recognize it long enough, did the weakest throw ever, and trying to warm up my apparently cold dead fingers and phone wasn't enough. :wtc:

At least I finally caught one on Community Day. This time though, it screwed my girlfriend over, where the game would just freeze with the giant GO letters stuck on screen, and any attempts to re-enter the raid even after restarting just froze it with GO again after making her wait 2 minutes for the countdown, or kicked her right out as it started. I guess it's something with the update, because the game has been freezing for me just trying to evolve or even rename Pokemon.

82 Beldum. 7 Shiny. No good IV shiny so I'll save them for trades with my wife. Went and bought her and I go-tchas. Neat little things.

Caught 120+ for approximately 800 candy. Used every pinap I had. Evolved 3 with the intent of powering them up for real.

The timing of EX raids is idiotic. They’re effectively walling off anyone with a job, kids, or in school from participating.

One shiny from a little over two hours of play, pretty crappy from all my other community days. But....



Zen on a 96%. I'm happy

Nice. If you get a fast TM change zen headbutt to bullet punch. It's better to have two moves of the same type here.

Anyway I’d been holding on to this 98% for a while. After evolving so many new beldums I had to purge some to get enough candy for this one.

I mostly play at work, and I live far from work, so literally the only thing that works for me is daytime weekday EX raids. And I have 3 kids and I work 60-70 hours a week.

People have different lives and schedules, that's why they rotate the days and times.

I have lost all powers of reading comprehension and counting ability hours ago
I still think an ex pass should be good that day, all day. Or good till you use it anytime. Just let ex raids be totally separate, so pass holders can access a secondary raid even if another one is active.

It would be pretty easy to implement, so long as they had any foresight.... Which we can see they don't, with all the clock blocking so far.

Yeah, but it's still not remotely comparable. Mewtwo's base catch rate before any multipliers is 2% and Kirlia's is 8%. Unless you miss a lot of your throws, it kind of sounds like your account has some sort of soft ban.

edit: Oh, read the rest of the post and you did miss a lot of throws. Probably not a ban then.

Got maps back up here, just for raids, which is sweet. Of course Lord Mouthbreather on discord started whining about how technicaaaaally it's cheating and a violation of TOS. No surprise, he's said that before, even if there's no other real way to do a raid train.

But said fucker has TWO accounts (literally only a number changed between them, 1 and 2) and uses lv checkers. I called him out on his poo poo in a discord chat and he backpedalled fast, saying he wasn't threatening anyone with reporting them to Niantic he was just asking questions. He insisted the second account was his mom's, though the names are the same. And he never ever uses the maps (he just tags along with people that do, complaining that it's cheating, but hey he may as well raid then!). Fucker is also asking for regional trades, and this last whinefest has burned a lot of bridges with people.

Caught roughly 130 beldum, including nine shinies.

My best IVs were a 93% regular and a 98% shiny. Both were around level 20, so I'm saving the rest of the candy to level them up. (Never really saw much over 600cp.)

We had windy weather all day yesterday so all Beldums were boosted! Caught somewhere around 100 Beldum, got 6 shinies, evolved two with Meteor Mash.

My wife and I started losing our minds after hour 2. "IT'S BELDUM!" "IT'S BEDLAM!" "IT'S BELDUM BEDLAM!!"

And last night before I went to bed I caught a 100IV Duskull. :getin:
