Cowslips Warren posted:Motherfuck. I thought the eggs from today after event launch were supposed to be new mon or gen3? I got a 2k about 6pm AZ time and it hatched to a loving Shellder. Nope, it's just spawns. Also I'm pretty sure Shellder is a 5k(I just hatched one yesterday). Edit: Nevermind, been getting them out of 2ks I think.

I'm only at 74 for dragon type, and a whopping 54 of those are dratini (67 for the whole family). 2 bagon, 2 kingdra(for gender dex), and 3 Rayquaza, including my 100. So, not bad, I guess. Edit: mastershakeman posted:Jolt/Flareon are still the best attackers of their type in the game because they don't require walking 50km for candies to power up once or wasting a lot of rare candies. Evolving level 35 Eevees for those types would be great I'm gonna disagree with you here, jolt/Flareon both have super low HP compared to the legendary beasts, even when the beasts are not powered up. For an easy example, my Flareon at lvl 31.5/2460 cp has 102 HP. My Entei at lvl 20/1921 cp has 145 HP. Imo the original eeveelutions, besides vapedog, are way more fragile and don't really stand up in a raid, even when they have resistance to typing. Besides if you do any decent about of raiding, it's pretty easy to build up enough candies to power up legendaries(sure, not to make but diminishing returns around level 30 make it not worth it anyways), and you have a whole month to do that. Plus, like someone said, that's what rare candies are for. I don't raid that much(at least compared to others in my community), and I'm still sitting on over 200, even after dumping a bunch into certain legendaries, and feebas cause I was impatient. Tldr if you live somewhere you're able(aka have an active raiding community), you should hit those legendary raids as much as you can/want, for candy if nothing else cause most of the legendaries are kick rear end. Except suicune gently caress suicune* *in pogo anyways. Psychobabble! fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Someone a while back asked if anyone else is seeing an increase in 10k eggs and in my area pokemon chat, a lot of people are saying they have. RNG a bit, obviously, but I went from getting maybe one a week, maybe two, to all of a sudden 9 in the past few days, at least, and a lot of people are reporting similar. I'm incubating 6 at the moment, three gotten so close together(I always start 10ks incubating as soon as I get them, even if it means I have to buy an incubator) that they have the same hatch progress. poo poo is wild. No complaints, obviously. Unless I get 6 more goddamn chime pokemon. To balance out the shittiness of other peoples raid stories(sorry you guys have to deal with that crap), I really enjoy our local raiding community. One of the frequent people in the neighborhood raid chat got his mom into playing, so she runs around with him raiding and playing and its the cutest thing ever. I got to show her how to check the weather system today  (she's a perfectly competent player, just had never noticed the icon on the screen to check it before). I also ended up being offered a ride to the next pair of raids by someone else who frequently raids in the area, even though we ended up having to wait around for 25 minutes for both eggs to pop. He told me all about how he uses his second device to catch for his kids when they're not able to be out with him. He happened to pass by me waiting at the bus stop 20 minutes later and giving me a ride home(super welcome as it was oddly cold in town today). At the second raid we had enough to split into two groups because someone was running late and others couldn't wait, so people were cool waiting around for the latecomer. Its a nice crowd.They also seem to have fixed the issue where people not being 100% synced makes you error out at raid start, at least a bit. My partner's lobby clock was a full 20 seconds behind mine but when mine clicked down, he just went into the raid. Small victories?

Throwing my vote in that I'd also prefer a community day with all starters, not just bulbasaur, if they had to go that route. I'd rather something more interesting. Community day was fun. I missed out on the first 30 minutes but still ended up catching 138(7 shiny), finally getting my gold dragon badge and having enough time left to log into my boyfriend's account to catch him a shiny. Mine were almost all trash but I already have a poo poo ton of dragonites so oh well. I finally got my first legit ex pass and it's, of course, for a time that's in the middle of a work day(1pm on a Friday,). Luckily my partner has had Fridays off lately but holy gently caress trusting that catch in someone who doesn't raid much and is super casual is stressful.

Finally got my first real EX raid pass, and of course it's for 1pm on a friday, and that's smack in the middle of my workday. Luckily, my boyfriend generally has the day off so he's going to go for me, but talk about pressure(not to mention that he doesn't raid basically ever... because he tends to get 1-2 and then loses interest). Fingers crossed  .How did everyone do for community day? I ended up with 138 caught/7 shinies, having missed the first 30 minutes of the event. Not a bad haul. IV checking them, and I ended up with one that was a 95.6% @ 437 CP and literally every other one was trash(I had about 5 that were around 75-80, but most were sub 55%). Bad luck, but that was the morning I got the EX pass so oh well. Julio Cruz posted:I have no idea how many 0%s I've caught because I really can't be hosed appraising every single birdrat trashmon I come across. ^^^ This. Its the only time I'm jealous of my apple using friends that it auto runs their numbers so they catch low level 0s and 100s, but I'm also not at risk having my account banned with calcyIV

Away all Goats posted:Calcy IV is 100% safe, it just reads your screen. Yeah I know, that's what I said, I guess my language was unclear. The app they use on iphones logs into their account so it auto-runs all the IVs on everything they catch, so they notice 0/100 catches with frequency. Since I'm on android and use Calcy and it only uses screenshots, I have to check catches manually. I dont bother with trashmon/commons/etc, I potentially miss out on some 0/100s. Not worth the tradeoff of checking every single one imo.

Mustached Demon posted:Calcy IV does the same. You know it's not obviously screwing with the app since it doesn't work on fat pokes who block the cp.  you can use the attack animation to get them out of the way. Some especially squirmy ones (Rayquaza ) you have to time it so it doesn't block the arc but even if it does its a quick fix once the animation is done. Especially helpful for fatbois like wailmer, ho oh etc

The boyfriend did my first ex raid for me since it was the middle of my work day(lovely iv but he caught it) and then right before it I got a second pass for next weekend. He got his first for the same day, and it's on a day we both have off. I'm stoked for both of us. He almost never raids(typically only one day a week when I get him to come out, a chain of 4 last week), so yet more proof the system is stupid.

Idk how you guys do even more than that. I was so ready to go home by the time our driver was done. Edit: vvv I know they are *now* because I've also had a bunch out of recent 10ks.

Steve Jorbs posted:Maybe you should be telling the parents these things instead of constantly venting at us. I know unsolicited parenting advice is usually received fairly well. Are you a seattle goon? Cause this happened Sunday with our raid group. Guy came up being loud and obnoxious and asking what we were up to(a good 20 of us standing there) and someone said we were playing Pokémon go. He started rambling and going off about it and being weirdos we all just ignored him and looked at our phones. Then he grabbed one of the girls shoulders yelling something like "what if I just shake you out of this" (I'm guessing more than alcohol was involved) and immediately like 3 people sprang forward and grabbed him. The group basically shuttled him out of the circle and he stumbled off. Was pretty proud of this group of nerds for having a knee jerk NOPE reaction. In other news, we chain raided and did 12 raids that day. I got my dumb shiny finger wing bird(boyfriend got 2! Driver got 0  ). I hope they don't go back and do each previous legendary for two weeks at a time. Maybe block them together(all 3 original legendary birds, 3 beasts, etc) if they have feel the need to re-release them so soon.

Here's a good guide for mewtwo counters: https://pokemongohub.net/gym-raid-update/legendary-raid-battles/mewtwo-raid-boss/ I can't stress enough how important getting their early is. If there are enough people, they generally split into teams and all this is arranged while waiting on the countfpqn Better to get their early and know which group code vs being the guy running up trying to sort out which of the group of 50 people he should be with.

Cowslips Warren posted:8. 5 people in now.....oh but one of those is a 8 year old kid with severe ADHD. Half the time during the raid he is watching me text on my phone, or tapping on the screen nowhere near Mewtwo, or rubbing his thumb over the charge button. I offer to do the raid for him, and his dad refuses. The kid's a level 33 and can actually help a lot, but keeps getting distracted with dodging and seeing what Pokemon everyone else is using. You know you don't actually have to click the pokemon for it to attack right? Clicking literally anywhere on the screen works. I like to click over the charge button. That whole situation sounds really annoying but tbh you should have spoken up and been like "no, this is the start time we agreed on". If some people had to go cause of work or whatever, sure, split into two groups, making sure group two has enough people to do it(an easy way to sell it to people reluctant to wait: second, smaller group = more balls).

I was able to reconnect without any issue. So there's that! It's an issue with the go+ and since the Gotcha is just a go+ repackaged, it's just a thing that happens sometimes. Super irritating, but it is what it is. Fwiw turning off bluetooth and waiting for a few seconds(I normally "time" this by going back into the game, tapping the on screen button(tells you Bluetooth is off), then reconnecting BT), it almost always works for me. My order of fixes normally goes turn off BT > Restart game > Unpair device. I never do anything within my phones BT regarding Unpairing/forgetting it.

Yeah man, rare candy has been a thing for... A long time. I believe since at least legendary raids got released last go fest. You can only get them from raids, and higher level raids have a higher chance of more candy. My first shiny was a shiny Pikachu, but my only non event/CD ones are two Magikarp. Can't complain since even a crappy iv red gyarados still looks baller as gently caress. Unrelated but I found a 100% skarmory in my collection today

I doubt they'll make it as specific as every letter is unique. Community day was pretty great. Caught about 150 larvitar on both accounts, both accounts got 5 shiny and both got 4 91+ iv larvs(notable mostly only because my alt is lvl 29 so the IV's are random).

I've also picked up a couple shinies using it, so that's always a pretty cool surprise. I've found that if I'm having a bitch of a time getting it to connect, I turn off/on my bluetooth, and it does the trick 95% of the time.
