Does anyone happen to have a link to that article that was hypothetically talking about which legendaries to spend rare candies on? Or an updated one now that they've all been released? I have 190 candies cluttering up my space and it's looking like I'm goddamn never getting a mewtwo(I'd save the majority obviously just in case but freeing up 50~ would be nice) I caught a 2735 Ho-oh today when the seattle weather happened to shift to sunny  . It's 84.4, am I right in thinking(unless I catch a higher iv one on a sunny day before it's gone) that I should take the hit on iv and power that one up? It seems like the returns given the rarity of rare candies vs it not being 90+% makes it worth it

AweStriker posted:Are there any tips for actually catching a legendary pokémon once the raid is down? I've never managed it and for some reason more often than not the ball just drops like a rock instead of being thrown. That's... Odd? Maybe take a moment once the battle is done to lock your screen and clean it; this only happens to me if I have like, rain or something on my screen. If that isn't happening with normal catches it shouldn't be happening with raids. Are you throwing curves? Curve balls don't just help with your catch chance, in my experience it makes it so the ball is thrown more forcefully. I have a pretty good catch rate with legendaries. I do the screen lock trick*. Wait till the 'Mon is at the end of its attack animation but hasn't completed it(ie the catch circle hasn't come back), and do a curve ball. It'll feel too early to throw it but if you're timing it on the last second or so it will hit right as the circle comes back. This helps you avoid the dreaded double attack and assuming your throws are good, you can get great/excellent throws every time which increases your chances by a poo poo ton. Whenever a new legendary comes out I spend a minute or so holding the ball and watching its attack animation so I can see exactly when the catch circle comes back so I can time my throws accordingly. *Hold the ball until the circle is small enough to get at least a great if not an excellent, and it can be pretty big for legendaries, a bit bigger than their heads. Release the ball at the very bottom of the screen so it doesn't throw(practice how to let the ball down without releasing it with nonlegendary pokes imo if you aren't used to doing it. Nothing sucks more than a dropped premium ball).

This new "feature" where it goes all the way to the top of the poke-list any time you transfer(annoying) to evolve(REALLY ANNOYING) really sucks for mass evolves. Doesn't suck as much if you only do eggs on pidgeys but for my mass Evo style, where I evolve all trash mon, it sucks

Edit: ^^^ also this Entropist posted:Not if you mass evolve in the pro way, by starring the ones you are going to evolve, sorting by favourites, and unstarring each one after evolution. This way the ones you want are always at the top anyway. Meh. I tried that once, wasn't my thing. I just sort by searching evolve and go through that way. This change still fucks your way up because you have to take time to delete one's after they fill the page. It blows.

Entropist posted:Unfavouriting them directly after evolving is one extra tap on the star when their menu pops up, and by doing this they will not fill the page of favourites. Transferring can be done after the lucky egg timer has finished, and its easy because they'll have been unfavourited already. You can also switch back to the map easily to catch something and go back to the Pokemon menu without having to scroll around or search because the remaining ones to evolve will be right at the top. Meh. My method worked well for my specific style of mass evolves vOv. I evolve literally all useless stuff, not just pidgeys/rats/caterpie/etc. everything that doesn't have another Evo in gen 4/isn't useful for raids or gyms gets mass evolved. so this change sucks for me.

It sucks when you're just a visitor and wanting to get in on raid action while there to give your partner a break from family visit stuff  . Though rereading it, maybe I interpreted it wrong; I figured they were wanting to see that your map was mostly/all chicago area.

lovely. Well I can only hope everyone who had theirs revoked gets a guaranteed one next time but Niantic gonna Niantic . I wonder why they even issued them for sponsored gyms knowing they'd be closed? Why not just parks? I wonder if after the fact, sprint was like uh hey we don't want a huge throng of people outside our closed stores, thanks? Edit: bonus! You get bumped back up to the top of the screen if you select/deselect a Pokémon  . This is the only time I've had an issue that I'm actually gonna try to find the email form for. God I hope this is just a bug and not as intended.

For real. It's so stupid. Meanwhile I'd bet money that if I raid in chicago, that'll be the one time I get an EX pass, and it's not like I can just have some rando link up to my google account to do it for me Anyways, I caught this little dude today:  Since Slaking is p much gonna be useless in general and for raids(?), I should probably forgo waiting for a high IV one and just evolve this guy to sit in the gym like a beast, right? Even with the massive decay rate and all that. I'm gonna wait to evolve until I get enough candy to do the evolve all the way so it gives me a while to see if that turns out not to be the case.

mastershakeman posted:uh I thought great/excellent was from landing closer and closer to the right spot on the guy, and the circle was something else entirely that also boosts your chance ... Where you think you were supposed to hit? Did you think it was different for every Pokémon? How have you gone this long playing and not figured out that ring size and hitting within that was what triggered a nice/great/excellent?  Edit: Entropist posted:https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/944121556053008384?s=17 I guess it's a matter of interpretation; in the official announcement of getting them they say it comes with your streak spin iirc. You do your streak spin before the event went live, you lose out on an incubator. You'll get one when you spin tomorrow . It probably helps that I had people yelling DON'T SPIN TILL ONE in my local Pokémon chat Steve Jorbs posted:So if you hold down and let go on the ball you can see the circle will be the same size from when you let go to when you touch it again. The trick is to hold down on the ball until you get a small enough circle and then let go. Then, you wait for the pokemon to perform an attack/jump animation. Your advice was correct except don't do it during a jump animation if you're wanting to be safe. They can still attack at the end of their jump in a fraction of a second and I've missed balls because of it(same with their other minor animations that dont take away the throw circle). Now I only do it on attacks. Psychobabble! fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Irukandji Syndrome posted:I hope they do trading someday. Just turn it off for legendaries if you're so worried about preserving an element of catch em all, and implement a trade limit of 1 a day (more specifically, you need a "trade pass" you can get once daily from a Pokestop, buy more like raid passes). I really hope they don't make legendaries exclusive; there's really no need because outside of mewtwo, they aren't exclusive at all and that'd just be another way to gently caress rural players. Im also hoping they don't because I caught and saved an extra high IV one of each legendary hoping that eventually when trading came out I could give tto my boyfriend, who was out hiking in the woods for 5.5 months and thus missed out on everything but the first birds .

It's definitely more than the zero I'd get without. My go-tcha auto spins are only ever slow if there is a 'mon on the screen and the device is trying to catch that.

Charging it I dont feel is an issue, as I'd rather charge than buy a battery. I do agree that with the stock wristband it pops out a lot. Mine popped out twice in a week, including yesterday in the snow and was buried for over 12 hours. Also managed to find it and it somehow still works. When I had an off brand wrist band it wasn't an issue. I recommend looking into one. I have this guy: https://www.amazon.com/CUMILO-Color...tcha+pokemon+go

Apparently they use AccuWeather's hourly predictions as the weather. That's what I thought, but last night this popped up on the scanner at 1:14, notice that it has no weather boost(it was cloudy at the time):  So naturally I went over to get it because I wanted that fail whale, drat it, and it was close by. When I got there at 1:35, I got this weather boosted guy:  I was actually pretty bummed about it, tbh. Anyways, so I'm leaning towards half an hour changes, or that they're at least possible if the weather changes but I haven't paid much attention to it. All I have to go on are those screenshots taken 20 mins apart that were in relatively close proximity to each other(about 1-2 miles)

An idea I saw floated around that I kind of liked(besides "ditch the whole system altogether") was to have an RSVP system for EX raids, so if you can't make it, your pass goes out to someone else. It's not a fix for the problem but would be a bandaid at least(or hopefully at least make it so more people show up to said legendary raid). I was poking around the Pogo reddit to see if I could find anything from Niantic addressing known issues(I don't use reddit but I've heard they've done that before?), and that led me down a rabbit hole of people complaining and man, you think people in this thread are bad about bitching about EX raids, holy moly.

I raid a moderate amount and have never gotten a pass, but I choose to raid in a neighborhood that unfortunately doesn't have a ton of sponsored gyms; what it does have is a really solid raid community that will wait for people, jump out if someone runs up a little too late(at least the first time, sometimes two), people who hang around and chat, etc. So to me its more fun to raid there and if someday I get an ex raid pass, rad. If not, lovely but oh well. Now there are people in this community who are way more extreme(a group of which go out every Sunday 6am-12 as a caravan and raid) who haven't gotten raid passes at all or just until recently and even they manage to be adults about it and just go well this sucks. So seeing screaming piss babies complaining because they raid like, every day, and some FILTHY CASUAL got a pass makes me appreciate how overall rad and chill my local pogo community is.

Basically this, I just hate having the empty spaces for places I will never go. The rest I don't mind hunting for or waiting till I luck out and hatch one(One of these days, trapinch ). I also want trading because I have a high IV version of all the legendaries that my partner missed out on when he was hiking in the woods for several months straight(I think it was all the beasts, maybe lugia and ho-oh too), along with an articuno that he somehow managed to end up getting 0/14 or something like that(has a decent catch rate for everything else, for some reason just couldn't just Arti to save his life). Though knowing Niantic, they'll make it so you can't trade legendaries to maintain some kind of false scarcity, sorry rural players who finally thought your friend could trade one to you!!! Add me to the pile of people who finally got their first ex raid pass... For a gym my partner and I did one low level raid at in a rural town in mexico in November. Only have to travel the 1,500 miles from seattle to the middle of Baja California(San Felipe)! Hope you enjoy the beach vacation, Mewtwo. Seriously, I've done 2 raids outside of Seattle(/150). At least if it had been for the other non-Seattle raid (in Chicago) I could have at least got a friend to do it or something. It's like Niantic tried to respond to how so many people have complained that they have never gotten a pass and fix it... but in typical Niantic fashion tripped and poo poo the bed all over it. I'm guessing a lot of these raids aren't gonna have a high turn out.
