X13Fen posted:Got my first EX- raid invite! Do goons not have friends? Actual effort post: if you don't have any friends that play, try hitting up discord to see if someone is willing to do it for you(a lot of discords even make a sub section for each ex raid so you can ask in there if anyone has a second device that can do it for you). You can link your account to a dummy fb so you're not having to give them your Google account info.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:My fourth Feebas from a 10k egg today. I am in hell. Grizzled Patriarch posted:The only good attacker I have is Hariyama,  You know Milotic (feebas' evolution) is the third best water attacker in the game right(tied with vaporeon basically). I'm guessing you don't have a full squad of gyarados or a kyogre so I don't understand what you're bitching about.In other news, go fest kicked rear end surprisingly. No connectivity issues at all, caught a 100% feebas and mudkip. We ended up walking 14.5 miles through the 8 hours the event lasted. Only (minor) gripes: the middle of the park had a serious stop shortage, so I regularly was running out of pokeballs, and I wish there had been some gyms with raids in there. I can kinda get why they didn't (so nerds didn't assault each other over gym ownership or some bs) but imo they could have done like they did at articuno raid day and have at event start all gyms spring a lugia raid. Even only having 6(the 3 team tents at each entrance) would have been a welcome break from the monotony of constantly catching. Those are minor complaints though, it was a blast.

Furnaceface posted:It takes ~20 minutes to get to the park from where I work. Do goons just like not have friends? Join your cities discord if they have one along with the FB group and ask if anyone can do it for you. You can set up a dummy FB account and link it to your pogo account and give that out for people to use for the raid so that you're not compromising your gmail. I did an ex raid for a guy in a similar situation that posted about it on discord a few months back. Had never met the guy, did his raid, got him the cat. We just met for the first time yesterday and he bought me beers and traded me a Tropius for my trouble  .

Not that my town doesn't have people asking for help, but even we're smart enough to know it's a huge favor to ask during this time of the year, especially on weekdays. Froist posted:I always assumed this was a case of "people who were going anyway taking a second phone for you" rather than people going genuinely out of their way to do the ex-raid solely for someone else.. It's literally this. The last two raids I haven't been able to go to, I've found people to carry along an extra phone, tablet, etc for BOTH my accounts. This happens frequently in our raiding community.Out of the million passes that go out, someone is bound to have a second (or third or fourth!) device and a hot spot that they're willing to help out with. It doesn't hurt to ask. Remember not everyone works a 9-5

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I’ve never gotten an EX pass. This system sucks ballsack. Have you *tried* to get one, though? As in, gone out and raided a bunch on a gym known to give out passes several times in a week? A good portion of the ones I've gotten are because a gym a block from my work is ex eligible and I hit that thing every time there is a raid there, sometimes even using my pass on poo poo like a swablu or other weak crap. The system sucks but ex passes aren't rare anymore, its just a matter of figuring out(through discord or fb generally) which gyms are common ex locations and raiding at them as much as you can. It really isn't difficult. At this point I think anyone living in a reasonably sized city who is complaining about not getting a pass is just bitching about having to play the game to get this one specific reward. Edit: vvv Oh, okay. You're one of the goons that just want to bitch about poo poo even though there is a simple and easy fix, got it.

Semi-related: I finally had 125 to evolve my first Beldum, a 91. I joked that I would hatch a 100 the next day. I didn't! I caught it.

Willsun posted:Good to hear that Last Resort will carry over into evolutions, but...unless it's some really overpowered move, why would you want to ruin STAB damage for whatever type it becomes and its respective type's fast attacks? It's a 2 bar charge move that does 90, not a fast move. Silph road just did an interesting write up of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/95axz3/the_a_to_z_analysis_of_last_resort_and_eevee/ "A full breakdown can be found in the article but know that Espeon and Flareon will both break the top 10 neutral DPS without weather boost. In Partly Cloudy, Espeon provides the highest neutral DPS in the game and Flareon lands right behind the top 2 generalists in the game. ... They’ll be great generalists for fighting gyms without the Rare Candy costs of the other top options. A fully powered Espeon will be a reasonable option for any Raid Bosses that don’t resist it, similar to Rayquaza, Mewtwo and Gengar." Ive got 2 hundos that I'm going to evolve into Espeon during the event just to be safe, if it turns out to be garbage at least I can TM it away."

IcePhoenix posted:Neat, thanks. $50 feels like a bit much though. If you play with any kind of frequency it's worth it. The stardust grind is great(I went from being almost out of stardust to over a million pretty quickly), it's caught multiple shinies, and most importantly, for me, it tracks egg distance when the app isn't up. I walk 3+ miles to work and back every day and it hatches eggs like no one's business while I read fb/news/forums. This is especially handy for the celebi quest.

tangy yet delightful posted:I had to dunk "make 3 nice catches in a row" because apparently I can make 10 great curves in a row against legendary birds but 3 nice catches is too much to ask this noob for. ...You know that punching above counts for the quest, right? Aka you get progress for "three nice throws" if you throw greats. It doesn't have to be the specific throw, just that or better. Moltres day was okay. We got off track somehow so ended up only doing 21~ raids but got 8 shinies between two accounts(including one 93%!), and 3 98's. I'm personally hype for Mewtwo month. I can not get a good one on my main to save my life; out of 17, none have been higher than 88%. If you include my alt, which has two 91's, that's 2 over 90 IV Mewtwo out of 31 raids. Its become a joke with my local group how bad my luck has been. Siets posted:The fact that you can get an EX raid pass, show up to an organized event, and then whiff all your throws on Mewtwo and fail to catch it really grinds my gears about the current system. Bringing Mewtwo to normal raids during a time-limited window is absolutely the right call, pokegrognards be damned. It's not the system's fault if you can't throw well enough to hit the pokemon(unless "whiff" means something different where you are from?). Mewtwo has double the base catch rate of other legendaries, doesn't move around much, and is pretty easy to hit?

I have android phones and my two connect to mine fine, especially lately. If they don't connect the first time, I turn Bluetooth off, wait ~15 seconds, turn it back on and it almost always connects then.
