Referring back to my Slowking post:


Yes, it is! To further update:


Still not knocked out. :catstare:

Also noticed someone decided to fully heal one of the Pokemon in the gym, so...

:shrug: Ok.
My Slowpoke's CP is the lowest it'll go now too afaik, so I guess that makes it Slowking 420 of the Mountain until someone dethrones it?
Seriously, all I need to do is drive like 20 minutes and I can find a gym where my Pokemon will stay for 3 weeks.

Where do you live where this is possible?
Central IL about midway between St. Louis and Chicago.

It's a pretty decent-sized town with two universities and a very active pogo community. But drive off in any direction for 20-30 minutes and you're in loving cornfields and tiny shithole towns with random gyms at their post offices or whatever.

Praying Mantises are the best bugs. They even make good pets.

And I got enough candy to evolve 7 Metagross, including two high level shinies (67%, 40%) and five other good ones. 91% (a15)/level 19 was my highest IV overall, though.

Oh and I hit 38.

When the event first started, I caught a Beldum. Looked like a Beldum on the map, looked like a Beldum on the catch screen.

It then somehow turned into The Worst Yanma (IV 0%) after catching. What
Ahem.

0% is the BEST yanma

Now that Mewtwo is gone from raids, how did everyone do? I ended up with a catch rate of 115/119. Not bad. Of course the best one my main saw was the only one that ran for that account(a 98, RIP)
As a more casual kind of a player, I only caught 7. I did 9 raids and legitimately missed one, but another one bugged me out of the catch screens. :sigh:

However, out of the 7 I caught, one was a 100%, one was 96% weather boosted, two were 91%, and one was 89%. (The other two were 80 and 73)

I was at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago today (and tried to send presents to goons) so didn't have much organized raiding around. Best I got was for two randos who joined in after I popped open the gym. But they had real bad monster choices and we lost. Twice.

Ah well.

I did evolve four Licky gastlies. Best I had was only 91%/lvl 15 though. Now to wait for some more charge TMs.

Hey goon SteSykes - We become best friends tomorrow. But since we are across the pond from each other, it might be tough to coordinate. But if you give me a heads up as to an approximate time that works for you, I'll try and put a lucky egg on to catch it.

I finished my community day shinies with a few mareep and a bulbasaur. Woot. The bulbasaur was lovely, but who cares. I got tons of candy for my six Meteor Mash metagross, too.

As for charmander, I am deciding between evolving...

Level 27 / 15 1 14
Level 20 / 12 14 13

Yeah I know the 2nd is way better IV overall, but the first has that 15 attack and is 14 advances higher, so will take less resources to get even useful. And I'm not exactly swimming in charmander candies. (I already have a decent 91% blast burn and a few decent shinies.)

Wow. So after this weekend I am out of pinaps and ultra balls. Sweet. My Gotcha was working overtime so I'm very low on red balls, too.

I got my missing shinies (mareep/bulbasaur), got at least one new special move dude of nearly every kind except for Metagross (because I already have 6 :v:) Mostly though I put the new candy into improving already-good monsters. I only got a bare handful of good, high-IV stuff; most catches were sent straight to the glue factory.

The best gym etiquette is to never kick anyone out of a gym at any time or for any reason, because they are probably going for a gold gym badge, and that would be just mean.

Or maybe it's to always kick everyone out of a gym because they might already have a gold badge and just need today's coins.

I am sure one of these two is the right and correct way to play this mobile phone game featuring pocket monsters.
