Pez posted:I finally got my last ghost this morning You don't actually need to win the raid. When I was doing mine, right around when it first came out, I found a Snorlax raid happening and just kept throwing lovely mons at it while not bothering to actually battle it, because what was the point. There was actually one other person doing the same thing with me, we both sat there and lost to Snorlax probably five times. I finally got an Alolan vulpix after hatching about ten alolan eggs, and I have like 47 Vulpix candy now. Added my trainer code to the spreadsheet.

Now on to 10 raids which hopefully won't take 2 months like the last step. Hatched 4 eggs this morning too so hopefully today's gifts will bring some sweet Alolan eggs. I even have a blue Persian now. I sent out gifts to who I could but the list makes it hard to tell who I've hit already so I'm just working down and trying not to miss anyone. It's been a good day.

I have one Vulpix from a hatch, and 53 candy, but it's got terrible IVs and I really want to keep a Ninetails to use everywhere because it's so pretty  Also Alolan Golem is good.

I'm in a very small town, 10k people. I've done a handful of legendary raids from when I've been in real cities, but that's it. I just got to level 37 yesterday, but drat, whenever I go to the city and they're just swimming in pokemon I get so jealous haha.

I had two of these tasks and accidentally evolved a Krabby without thinking ( ) but haven't claimed the rewards yet, so I'm hoping if I don't tap that button until community day starts I'll be fine.

Coolness Averted posted:Are we even sure that holding onto stuff helps? I thought almost all of the encounter research quests had the reward set when you acquire them, not when you finish them. I imagined it would be the special community day window research that gives you things, kinda like the free berries and greatball "catch the <pokemon of the day> quests. I'll let you know at 11am! Anyway, the Articunos being everywhere actually doesn't really help rural players at all. For me, now I have to really hope that there is not only a group of players somewhere in Whistler, but I also have to guess what end of town they're going to start at, or if they're going to start at the gazebo in the middle. Oh well.

seiferguy posted:I wonder if with partly cloudy weather, two people could duo an Articuno using smack down / stone edge Tyranitars. According to Pokebattler it would take 540 seconds (so 2 x 220) and 17 SD/SE Tyranitars at level 40 to do it. So yeah, it would be possible as long as you had a shitload of them. Wouldn't work with anything else, even a crew of Legacy Omastar would just miss it.

Currently level 27 and I have a 2600CP Tyranitar with 8 more >2K CP mons. It's definitely not, there are like at least 8 other water types that are better than Blastoise.

I really hope my eggs hatch into Vulpix and Sandshrew for people too, I feel like if I lived elsewhere it would be cool to have ice pokemon that came from a ski resort.

Where you spin the stops apparently dictates what eggs you get. When I was in Queenstown last year everyone was amazed that I'd hatched enough larvitar eggs to have three fully powered tyranitar, none of them had ever hatched more than 2-3 of them, and yet in western Canada that was all I was hatching for ages.

Machamp is easily the easiest 3-star raid for me. I use a Gardevoir, three Espeons, my double psychic metagross because he's tanky and then Alakazam if needed. I can generally finish off Machamp with 20-30 seconds to go.Grizzled Patriarch posted:Is there a way to get Mewtwo without having to complete a 5 star raid? He seems to be a staple of a bunch of raid clear teams and a good attacker in general, but if my problem is that I need to solo raids 3* and below raids because nobody else is around, then Mewtwo isn't really an option for me. Level 37 and no mewtwo here.

Great throws are pretty easy if you practice them, I get great throws on probably 50%+ of my throws now. This morning I had a "get 3 great throws in a row" reward and I got it on my next three throws.

Butterfly Valley posted:Also I can’t help but feel the same people who moan about ball throwing aren’t using curveballs, and they really should be because it’s way more forgiving to hit the centre than if you slightly skew a straight throw and are hosed for the bonuses. I've been practicing for the last week or so and getting a lot better, though. Also, getting good at throwing great balls means you're literally getting 50% extra XP for almost every catch.

Hold off until community day; you never know what the exclusive moves will be or if there'll be a way to make them evolve into whatever you want. I have a level 28 93% that I caught the other day and a level 25 96% that I'm hanging onto just in case. It's like a two week wait.

While this is true, if you really, really don't want to get involved for whichever reason, as long as your local group uses the public lobby, you can sit apart from everyone else, pretend you're working or whatever, and join in anyway. As long as you're still within range of the gym you don't need to actually be with the group of people.
