Were they starters?
Starter Pokemon have always had a modified catch rate.

Starters suck rear end. They're always tiny and too hard to catch.

Yeah being able to encounter almost everything is a good thing and it's weird to think otherwise

I mean there's like 500 species if you're new, plus finding good IVs/moves, and shinies. There's a ton to do unless you've been sperging from the beginning.

PSA: Meteor Mash is even stronger than expected and will make Community Day Metagross one of the best generalist attackers. Better than Shadow Claw Gengar and just below Shadow Ball Mewtwo. Grind hard tomorrow!

3 shinies for me. Evolved Zen+Mash on a 90 vanilla and an 85 shiny. Not bad but I was in a bad area today and had to rely mainly on Incense. Oh well.

The timing of EX raids is idiotic. They’re effectively walling off anyone with a job, kids, or in school from participating.

I mostly play at work, and I live far from work, so literally the only thing that works for me is daytime weekday EX raids. And I have 3 kids and I work 60-70 hours a week.

People have different lives and schedules, that's why they rotate the days and times.

I'm still seeing plenty of gen 4 starters and they're as infuriatingly hard to catch as ever. Once I evolve a high IV of all 3 I'm quitting them. I just need a Lucky Piplup on my main. My alt somehow has 4 95+ Luckies which is very annoying.

On the plus side, I self duo'd a Tyranitar raid today. Cloudy weather for my Machamp train and I finished with 45 seconds to spare. Some quick math tells me I would duo in neutral weather with roughly zero seconds to spare, and a bunch of my boys are only level 30-32.

Hex/Shadow Ball Gengar is still a good attacker and worth using. It dies quickly but does a lot of damage, which is what counts when you're up against the clock.

Also I broke down and bought the sweet Gengar hat. I tried to resist...

Whew good news, you can evolve to Lick Gengar during the event. So instead of rolling the dice on Raid Gengar IVs that need Charged TMs every time due to a worthless charge move, you can save up high IV Ghastlys during the Halloween event and mass evolve on Gengar Day. There's so many Ghastlys around right now that getting a squad of 90+ saved will be easy.

The problem is that Giratina is not worth leveling up, and is totally useless unless you do so. But if you're a new or casual player without a good stable of Mons, it's actually even more important that you not waste your precious Stardust on a weak Legendary with scarce Candy.

I always power up one of each legendary to lvl 30, who knows when it might get buffed or something. And I still try to do the raids for golden razzberries, can't have enough of those!

Speaking of that, the Raid rewards were just nerfed on the 27th and the main change is a reduction in Golden Razzberries and Potions from raids.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/9spzii/all_available_raid_reward_bundles_after_the/?utm_source=reddit-android

You're going to break even or take a loss on Goldens more often now.

quote:

Comparing it to the last info graphic I had saved, the changes are:

Tier 1

- 1 Super Potion instead of 2.

- 1 Free Golden Razz instead of 2.

Tier 2

- 1 Super Potion instead of 3.

- 1 Golden Razz instead of 2.

- 1 Free Golden Razz instead of 2.

Tier 3

- 1 Super Potion instead of 4.

- 1 Golden Razz instead of 2.

- 2 Free Golden Razz instead of 3.

Tier 4

- 1 Golden Razz instead of 3.

- 2 Free Golden Razz instead of 3.

Tier 5

- 2 Golden Razz instead of 3.

- 3 Free Golden Razz instead of 4
