Zapdos is definitely replacing Moltres, right? I don't have to go without sleep to get Mew before then, right?

Why Chicago again after how bad last year was rated?

1. It's fairly central.
2. Most airports have routes that go directly there. It's a hub.
3. If you're on a date, but can't get it up that night, you're going to want to try again if she gives you a chance.

I really wish there was a list of local raids and when they happened.

The only way I ever get winnable 5* raids is during Community Days, so thank Arceus for those.

My wife and I saw one (1) corsola in our 14 day trip to Orlando. She tried using a regular pokeball with no berry and it fled. It was very early in the morning and she wasn't thinking straight, but to this day she regrets it.

We lucked into going to Kauai, but will be there during community day. Hopefully the community college we'll be at at 9am has a good Pokémon population.

Oh, well. My wife was really hoping for a shiny, but we'll just have to find some way to console ourselves.



At least we both have enough candy to evolve blast burn charizard.

I'm just glad there's another path to legendaries now. I'm apparently an old and don't understand discord.


Also tried Pokegenie and decided that it was giving me more information than was good for me.

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.

What Pokemon get the most benefit from Fast and/or Charge tms?


Also, is there a guide to the minimum size raid groups should be for each legendary? Someone told me 8 for Mewtwo, so that's what I've been using. No idea for the others. In my head if #<20 then 1 group, and if #>20 then two groups of #/2, but this isn't optimal for team contribution and stuff getting.

Did anyone have sunny weather during the event? Maybe they turned it off.


I don't think they've posted what the next community day will be. I think they will (or should) make it all 3 Johto starters... because who gives a gently caress about Meganium?

They were weather boosted where I was today.

Next community day will be Squirtle. People have pretty much figured out the complete schedule going out to early next year although I can’t find the link off-hand. Maybe it was posted earlier in this thread?

Also did anyone else notice the ridiculous catch rate for today’s Larvitar? I had them pop out of balls twice for the whole event, and not a single one ran. Once I realized it, I switched to nothing but regular balls and pineapp berries the entire time.

I have been shamed. For some reason I thought Charmander was AFTER Squirtle, and therefore we'd already done it.

I will fall on my own Honedge at the earliest available opportunity.

Aren't shinies supposed to be even rarer in the main games? I've not really played them but i hear people talking about seeing one shiny in their entire game.

Not going to look it up, but it used to be something like .002, unless it was .0028. Something like that. There are ways to increase the odds these days, but farming for shinies is still a major PITA.

Edit: I fail at Pokémon and fractions. It was 1/8192 which is .00012

I wonder what other non-legendaries they'll put in Field Research. I think Lapras is a strong contender, because she is another Poke that was hard to find, although I hear the water festival helped some people with that. Porygon would be very very welcome. I had 10 upgrades and no Porygon to use them on.


For Special research they're probably going to go with Celebi next, but I hope they leave Mew up for people just starting.
