^^^^^ Once you use a raid pass, you have until the Pokemon timer expires to finish. My group failed 2-3x each till we got it. You have time to revive and start again in the lobby. Did my first 2 raids today, saw there was 2 tier 4s next to each other. First was a Blastoise that 4 lv 30+ ran out of time on, 2 more showed up and it was easy. Fled t.t but got a tm at least Second was a venasaur that we needed 5 lv 30+ on, that fled too t.t The battling is still glitchy AF, and half the time I had someone else's giant exeggutor blocking my screen. Same Pokemon would die several times in a row then I finally get a chance to fight. Fix your poo poo Niantic, you have something cool. There's a ton of raids going on right now and it's kind of overwhelming. You can also raid every other day if you want with the free pass. I got my free raid pass on the first gym spin today.

The city fb group made a discord channel, and a city scanner had a long running discord channel in place already for unowns/Lapras/tyranitar/Snorlax etc notifications. I'd just show up at a yellow egg raid and ask how ppl are coordinating

Astro7x posted:caught the Snorlax. L Do you remember what kind of throw/berry combo you did? Just wondering if all Tier 4 pokemon are tough to catch or if it's just the starter pokemons I had to deal with (Blastoise/Venasaur jumping around, wasted a bunch of golden razz and all my premiere balls)

If you're new to attacking like I am, this was pretty helpful as far as figuring out what pokemon to farm/power up. Wish Alakazam had more HP, with the lag didn't even get a chance to dodge/attack when I raided. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sn9XiNlwAXxwccK-YtJo_vM6nZRN4VhGjm2cKhuaZBo/htmlview?sle=true

LemonLimeTime posted:Where do I see his attack and defense stats? Is it his two moves that he has? He only has Rock Smash (15) and Rock Slide (80). Nah the moves are separate from his "IV" stats (attack/hp/defense). You need to select the pokemon, hit the spring? (3 rows) on the bottom right and appraise it. It'll give you a basic overview of your pokemon IV, and you can narrow that down using an IV calculator like https://pokemon.gameinfo.io/en/tools/iv-calculator. With machines now, I wouldn't bother checking a pokemon's IV unless it's a "Overall, your [Pokémon] is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokémon!/Overall, your [Pokémon] simply amazes me. It can accomplish anything!/Overall, your [Pokémon] looks like it can really battle with the best of them!" so it's at least 82%+

I still haven't gotten a muk or weezing yet, so those are great for me. I saw someone on reddit caught a shiny magikarp, so I'd be willing to dump a free raid pass during the week on one if nobody's around.

First time I ran into any kind of issue, and of course it's when I finally get into a Tyranitar raid. Finish up attacking, see it go down, and all I see is "Error" and boots me back to lobby. I waited a few seconds before I finally got the raid items to pop up, then I see a black screen with a spinning pokeball. Fuckers didn't even let me catch the ttar, though I'm just going to remain optimistic and say it would've eaten my golden razz berries. RESTART YOUR POGO APP BEFORE RAID BOSSES

+1 to Facebook or preferably discord groups. There's a gymhuntr bot on discord that shoots out raid notifications based on area if you set it up correctly which is nice. I always ask ppl at raids if they want a discord invite, and most are appreciative for more people to play with.

A lot of people are still using FB chat in my city. When I came back right before raids, luckily players around my area started up a discord server that is easier for me to keep track of. Now whenever I see strangers at a raid I always ask if they came from discord, and if they want to join. It's simple enough to show them the invite code and they can open their browser and get started. Just got back from a couple morning raids thanks to discord.

Were they just standing around and not doing anything, or were you looking at the battle screen and only seeing a count of 2 people? There's a bug when people rejoin with a second team that doesn't always show them as fighting.

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:Or if the first lobby has 20 people in it, the 21st gets put in a new lobby all by themselves. Some groups do private battles to keep spoofers from taking a spot, I only bother with that when we have 19-20 and literally don't have room for a spoofer. If that happens, you get a group of ,21-25 ppl at a raid. Really cool people could drop out from the 20 lobby raid after the raid boss is 5-10% hp and start another lobby.

My five-year old told a handful of them it was just a game, which owned. This owns. If it's a small group or some hydro pump non-sense, I'l max revive before I get to my 6th pokemon.

Lv 20 bite/crunch ttars will still be worth using if you're low on dust.

IVs really only matter if you're trying to min max raid bosses with small groups. I generally only pay attention to high attack IVs as fast moves do have breakpoints, but that's only cause there's nothing else to do really. I don't have trouble finding raids or the people to do them with.

Unless you're drowning in millions of dust, I would push that Geodude/golem to lv 30 and call it a day. It doesn't matter now if you evolve/power up first because of TMs. Before TMs you would want to evolve first and see if you got the ideal moveset before dumping dust. This is assuming you are in the America's and taking on raikous and don't have rhydons to play with. If you are in other regions, I'd wait till raikou rotates.

Das Doppelganger posted:Out of curiosity, how many started playing this game 'for their kids' but will keep playing when the kids get bored with it? That's the case with a bunch of the people I play with, most of them are ~40-50 and really into the game, always asking where the next raid is and the best part for me, they walk A LOT. There's one that's lv 32 or 33 who's put in over 2k km, and a couple others who are 1.5k km in. It's an absolute blast to play with them. I'll show them stuff off of Silph Road like how to do the set circle lock trick, which counters and movesets for the raid bosses, and one guy will always be down to do Tyranitar raids with me since they seem to be less common. It took them a while to get used to discord, but now they're constantly sending out messages of where raids/eggs are if the city map is down.

dwarf74 posted:Yeah, are you kidding me? I could look around at my near-ish gyms and figure out if it was worth heading around my normal route, or changing it up. I also saw a pokemon I didn't have, so I adjusted to make sure I could pick that one up, too. It was pretty awesome; it felt like magic. The nearby pokemon you are kind of SoL for though, especially if you're in a new area and don't know where the spawn points are, then you are at the mercy of pokehuntr/city maps and hopefully it pinpoints it. The park I grind at has a couple spawn points you have to go out of your way for when you see a nearby pokemon, plus depending on your cell data it could take a few seconds to actually show up, by then you might have walked past it. I wouldn't mind if Niantic bans all city maps, but they need a better system to find raids besides people having their app open and walking/driving past gym spots.

 I click on the psyduck and it just says "find these Pokemon in the wild!" e: VVV Yeah I knew stops/gyms nearby will show you, I need to search on pokehuntr/maps to find the spawn points for Psyduck/Bulbasaur. Before you could actually figure out where they were if you eliminated the stop/gym pokemon spawn and got the full sighting page but now it's complete garbage. I wish Niantic would work on a raid map based off your gym defenders at least, this would give gyms a meaningful use outside of gold gym spins/50 coin dailies. You can already see raids nearby if you go to remote feed, the raids will show up at your current raid, but it's tedious. GTJustin fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Oct 17, 2017 |

Bear Retrieval Unit posted:I haven't gotten a charge TM since Moltres came out and a fast TM since the dogs started. This is getting kinda annoying. What raids are you doing? I usually raid with a small group of 5-7 (not by choice, but that's just the turnout) and I'm close to throwing away some fast TMs if Gen 3 release doesn't have any good use for them. We try to flip the gym to blue, combined with a decent legendary counter line-up and mystic team dmg, I usually walk away with 11-14 balls each time. If you're not able to group up for legendary raids, solo tier 2/3s will be your best bet. https://thesilphroad.com/science/raid-rewards-secret-multipliers
