I'm in a water biome so there are more Wailmers now than there were before, which is great. My main issue is I didn't get enough candy to get to Sceptile so I'm probably stuck until either I get lucky with a nest or the weather gets better to boost grass spawns.

Cowslips Warren posted:To be fair, Niantic has said if you raid more and have more gold gyms, you have a better chance to get an EX pass. It might only be 1% chance higher than a casual. So when a bunch of people who barely raid get the EX passes, and high level daily raiders who keep as many gold gyms as possible, get none, you don't see why people get angry? You do what Niantic says increases your chances, because everything else is 'anecdotal.' No, I don't. Just because a lot of people believe "increased chance" means "guaranteed" doesn't make it true.

Parrotine posted:The hardcore shouldn't be given more tools to 'game' the system with, but they should be given something instead of nothing at all. They're given a better chance at EX passes. There has to be some randomness in the system otherwise the only people to ever get passes will be level 40 players with 1000+ raids and casual/f2p players will never even see a Mewtwo.

Parrotine posted:I never said it should be targeted specifically for harcores, what is this noise you're drumming up. I said it should give you a better chance to get one. It does. A better chance doesn't mean your primary account will definitely get one, and a worse chance doesn't mean your alt won't.

Cowslips Warren posted:If all the legendaries were one per trainer, same with Mewtwo, I'd be totally fine with the EX system entirely. I agree with this. The whole point of legendaries is that they're meant to be extremely hard to catch but when you've got people with 50+ caught of them it ruins that idea somewhat.

The game bases its auto-selects off the moves the Kyogre has, so if it picks Groudon it'll have Thunder, or if it picks Exeggutor it won't have Blizzard.

dwarf74 posted:I feel dumb because I don't get it. It's start/release points for the throw and how you should spin it. Personally I wouldn't bother throwing at Kyogre at the edges, just wait for it to come back into the center, it's not like you're under a time limit.

Caught a wild Breloom today which is great since I've never even seen a Shroomish. Now I just need one for the dex rather than having to wait for a nest to pop or hatching one then walking ~80km.

Psychobabble! posted:Can someone enlighten me why Pikachu with surf is something remotely to give a poo poo about? Honest question. Unless it has a surf board I pretty much could care less. "to celebrate community day we're giving you a Pikachu which looks the same but is actually worse" is just about the most Niantic thing imaginable. e: I suppose when (if) PvP comes in you could have your Pikachu fire off one Surf before it gets ground into dust by a Tyranitar.

That's much better. Don't give a poo poo about the special move but 3x dust and Dratinis everywhere are both really useful. e: hopefully it's windy that day too. Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jan 22, 2018 |

It feels like quite a few of the gen 3 water spawns are rare, I'm in a water biome and haven't managed to evolve Corphish or Carvanha, and the only reason I've got Whiscash is I caught a wild one.

There are no good gym defenders. Everything is easily killable because the attacker's set their team up in advance with the best counters to whatever's in the gym.

Cowslips Warren posted:I know it's random and the nests are likely generated by computer random logs but there is no reason we should have so many gen 1 nests and few to no Gen 2 nests and 1 to 2 gen 3 nests. There are more mons in gen 1 than 2 or what's been released of 3, plus a decent chunk of gen 2 are babies and evolves that need items, none of which spawn at all. If you're going to take earlier gen mons out of the game then it really has to be all or nothing. Ponyta and Growlithe for example are pretty rare where I am, I'd much rather get rid of Goldeen and Poliwag.

At the very least, Spheal, Duskull and Skitty should be moved down to 2ks, and Zigzagoon and Gulpin should be removed entirely. Could do with another 10k as well, maybe when the last wave hits we'll get Bagon or Beldum.

Dragon raids should be pretty straightforward, relatively common mons like Cloyster or Piloswine will tear through a Dragonite no problem.

Beastyfella posted:I would've never thought I'd be hoping for a partly cloudy day, but that trilobite thing is a super rare spawn otherwise. For some reason it seems to be the most weather-affected of any spawn. Any other weather you'll never see one, but if it's partly cloudy they're just everywhere.

300km later I've finally evolved an Ampharos to complete gen 2. Not sure what to walk now, I don't have a Bagon or a decent Feebas so I think it'll have to be Beldum.

It's amazing how people will complain about anything. "I did loads of raids and didn't get a pass!" has now become "I did loads of raids and can't use both my passes!"
