I already had my Gold Dragon badge, but I caught 156 in two hours. Total 4 shiny. I ran out of pinapp and ultra balls and decided I was done. Fun day!

I did two raids at a park last week, got EX Passes for both of them. Got the first yesterday for tomorrow then another just now for next Saturday. Hilarious because I have almost never visited that park and the gyms I have Gold Medals at that are hosting EX Raids the same days I didn't get anything for.

Aerodactyl, Dratini, Lapras, Mareep like mad. One crappy Snorlax, a decent Bagon and a decent Ralts. lovely event for me for 10k.

Wingull is boosted via 5k eggs in the current event so that's honestly your best bet as they'd normally spawn in windy weather but outside that are really rare. 7 of the 8 I've caught have been via eggs in this event.

They nest too, we had a pretty large nest before the last rotation and a smaller one now. It was an hour of roaming to get enough for the evolve and I have ignored them since.

The news report says Sky attack is newly improved. I guess that means it's getting a buff. Maybe flying will actually mean something in the meta again.

I wonder if I can use a TM on my existing ones and not care about doing these raids...

2 weeks seems like an adequate time for Lugia.

Kinda hoping they release something else if interest trails off. I will likely only do it if it is an EX Gym or if I am trying to get Gold.

Finally had a Mewtwo run on my today, so now I am only 4/5. Did get a shiny Lugia on my first raid today, so I pinapped him. 89IV too!

I know people who were harassed by this guy, it's a little scary to think a game has such an impact. It was quite the topic of conversation at raids this weekend.

Hey, looks like there's more Shiny Legendaries in the game's data files.

Most are staggeringly ugly. A few more are basically indistinguishable from their normal counterparts. And like three or four are pretty cool.

that's absolutely awful

trapinch and bagon are the only two that are really tough to get and stayed tough for no reason at all

I had somehow already hatched a bunch of Trapinch, so I checked all those off already. I have one Salamance but it's not over 3k yet because they are so hard to get the candy for.

I got an EX pass for a Sprint store down the street from where I work, a fellow goon and I did a Snorunt raid there a couple days ago. He got one too, neither of us are Gold on that gym. Who the hell knows how they are doing it anymore...

Does the double candy count for Mew? Wonder how hard I need to push in this event or if I might as well just chill.

Yes and you cannot pineapp it. You get unlimited Red Balls and is caught after the third hit.

Edit: Has anyone already tried hitting a lot of Pokestops while constantly recycling quests to see if they can get the "3 excellent throws for a Larvitar" one?

No, but I made sure to grab the two Hatch Five Eggs quests which have been posted on the local Facebook lately, and one turned out to be a 95.6IV Chansey.

Someone at my Mewtwo raid drove from Yakima to Seattle to be there. That's over a two-hour drive without traffic, and one of the major highways in Seattle was closed for construction all weekend. Talk about dedication to the game.

I bailed on a half hour drive for one today, but I have 5 MewTwo already.

The takes are hot and fresh in this thread.

As someone that just can't get out to raid at all, I'm very happy there's another way to get those legendary 'dex entries.

I get that, and I'm happy for you that you get to go after something you missed; however, I get the idea that a lot of people might prefer something like regional exclusives that were not previously available here in North America,.

did you realistically expect being able to pull a Mr. Mime or whatever out of a field research?

I mean sure I'd love to get dex completion based on my ability to spin 10 pokestops a day or make 3 great throws, but uh...I don't think so

Yeah, I would think they might do it eventually, either that or trading!

No, it's just a display bug. You'll get the next candy at 0, or if you restart the game it fixes itself. Enjoy the free candy!

I swap my buddy out then back so that way you get the free candy and the distance resets from negative to zero. I have not seen it fix itself on a restart but I haven't tried that in a while...
