Can't use the word Lick in any of my Gengars' names to denote their moveset because that would be inappropriate. A+.

Lick is considered a naughty word and you cannot name your Pokémon after the exclusive move set your Gengar has.

I didn't do any raids, but I did burn a whole bunch of candy and evolved three good Gastly.

Also my wife caught *three* shiny Pinsir today, almost one after the other!

So I guess instead of rolling out Adventure Sync to 25+, this raid was their only plan for today.

At this point, I don't expect the roll outs to resume until Monday.

Also, I tried the Gengar Raid once, and lost so badly because only one other person was there. I didn't expect to win anyway.

That's probably why he was fighting for it so aggressively and what you did was inconsiderate. Probably only ended up with one coin when you knocked him out. As a courtesy, I don't take over gyms that have less than one hour on the timer and only really go after gyms that have more than 8 hours since by that point the 50 coin daily allotment is reached.

I wish people were at all mindful of this sort of thing in my area. We swung by a gym at the entrance to a park on the way home from dinner. The defenders were weak so we knocked 'em out and put our dudes in, figuring we'd have some easy 50 coins the next day.

We hadn't gone more than a couple blocks before our guys got knocked out. Rude.

It's a crapshoot on who is rolling through town where I am. I've had mons sit in a gym for days while I still haven't quite hit gold on the gym literally right next to it because I get kicked out in an hour or less. Once you get to the university campus that's it, you're lucky to get more than a few hours in any given gym. EX gyms you may as well not even bother, any time a raid pops someone flips it.

I was at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago today (and tried to send presents to goons) so didn't have much organized raiding around. Best I got was for two randos who joined in after I popped open the gym. But they had real bad monster choices and we lost. Twice.

Ah well.

I did evolve four Licky gastlies. Best I had was only 91%/lvl 15 though. Now to wait for some more charge TMs.

I got 4 with one being shiny. I didn't realize it was shiny till looking at my storage later.

May have partially been because I was pushing a stroller but the color is so close to the same.

A pretty good day. Left the house about an hour into it, but did 5 raids with the kids. Two shiny Gengar, my daughter got all 3 shiny Pinsir we found so far, and she got a shiny Growlithe! My Gengar has like 14 attack so it's pretty good, too.

27 Gengar raids, caught 23 of them, 6 shiny gengars, 3 shiny pinsirs.

Did 4 Gengar raids in my tiny town, got a shiny, hit tier 3 friends with a couple of folks and made level 34, and traded a shiny Charmander for a shiny Beldum. Oh and finally played Mario Party on the Switch. Good day.

during the event today i did a (slow) mass evolve since i had lucky eggs going the whole time. i had 50 pokemon to evolve and did that.

then i came to the realization that out of the million+ xp i got today, only 50k came from the evolutions.

i am never mass evolving again. ever. i'm free.

e: also i sent out gifts to nearly all of the 159 people on my list who weren't already sitting on gifts, i think there's only 8 or so i didn't send one to. prolly the most productive pogo day i've ever had tbh.

Did 48 gengar raids Wafu style. Best was a 98, only 2 shinies, but someone in my group got 8 shinies. Plussed a shiny pinsir on the way to the first raid, turned the plus off afterwards (kinda have to when Wafu). Evolved 2 Hundos as well. Was a really fun day. These 3 hour raid days are my favorite. Always good times.

It looks like this was/is his goal, because it has now been in the gym for 30 hours with 60 berries fed to it.


Did one Gengar raid while out with friends. My girlfriend and I were the only ones with any Pokemon that had significant power, so we did the bulk of the damage, but the boost from friends let us get it down with 12 seconds remaining. We later got home and I was helping her clean up her box, when I noticed her Gengar was shiny! She hadn't noticed at all, but did wonder why it had a sparkly background. I open my game to compare my non-shiny with her shiny, and a Pinsir pops up when the game loads, and it's a CP 1111 shiny! :woop:

I only did 6 Gengar raids, missed one and got two shinies out of the other 5. I had two high level, 96% 15att gastlys from the Halloween event, so evolved them to get Lick too, rounding off my team. Also I bought the Gastly backpack instead of two more raid passes which I think was the best move all things considered. I’ll be wearing that forever now.

I also clicked on my first Pinsir of the day while talking to someone about them and it popped in as a shiny. Got a couple more within the day, all mediocre IV/level but most of my shinies are.



In my local raid group we have a gentleman’s agreement of never taking gyms between 11pm and midnight to allow people to get coins as the date ticks over - in practice that means staying in the gym until the next day unless someone’s out late, so I max my 50 coins pretty much every day. Good system.

The pinsirs should be pretty common for the rest of the weekend but will then drop down to regular shiny rates, so today’s your best bet if you want one.

As far as I know Caterpie’s far more rare!

Well put it this way, I've seen 50-60 Pinsir, 2 of which have been shiny.

I've seen 2 Caterpie, 0 of which have been shiny.
