Motherfuck, an EX raid is happening at a starbucks I go to. I guess because I only have a bronze badge I didn't get it :(

This implies that it would be your first spin after 1pm PST, not that it has to be a first spin of the day.

Nope, I accidentally did a spin with my plus before One PM and didn't get an incubator after.

I honestly don't give a poo poo about spoofers anymore, and if their presence is the difference between beating a raid or failing it, by all means.

There are times when we have 20 people to do a raid so we go private and exclude the spoofers, but most of the time I am happy to have their help...

I'm coming up short with what else I need to add to my top CP teams:



Still building up candies for a Slaking.

I have a 6 man Gary Team all with WaterFall and HydroPump, all over 3k. I have a Dark Team made of Ttars and Garys with Bite/Crunch, a Rock Team with a Groudon, Golems and Ttars, and I have a Solar Beam Team anchored by by Groudon and Exeggutors. My biggest defenders that I don't raid with are a 4k Slaking and a 3k Blissey. Now that I have those, I am just filling out my dex. 309 so far :sigh:

After 4 months I finally get to do another Mewtwo raid. Weather changed to Windy, so it's boosted. Fucker ran.

Do you even want a strong defender these days? You want your pokemon to eventually drop out.

I usually have 6-7 in gyms, they turn over pretty quickly here. I put everything from Feebas so I can remotely feed them or Blissey/Snorlax to sit in gyms long term to get gold.

We used to have a lot more Dratini on the riverfronts, not so much any more. I did a lot of raids to get Larvitar candy since they almost never spawn here, and I did a lot of hunting during the rock event. I still see a few of each on the city map but not often.

Had a Glalie spawn when I was walking home, but it didn't beat out the Lunatone that spawned later. Same place a Hitmontop spawned last week, I swear that area keeps giving rare stuff, it's where I got my first Pineco too.

Though of course it doesn't beat out a fuckin Dragonite just popping up. One time I found a wild Dragonair, but for the people that get all the rare fully evolved Pokemon that are ready to fight immediately: gently caress you and gently caress this game.

Where are you in the world that you found a Lunatone? I have heard they spawn at night but have yet to see one even on a tracker.
