Today, every time I try to go into the Gaming topic is takes me to a different page full of adverts and with the topic title For Sale

Look what field research gave me Smile

JustLooking it's a really useful app, not just for working out the IV's of your pokemon. Although you may be lost for hours now in the 'admin' side of things, so I apologise for that! Grin
Feel free to ask any questions, I'm sure one of us will be able to help.

@bettytaghetti I don’t have that app and I didn’t know any of that so very helpful, thank you! Will download it later and work it out. Thanks again

I have bought them all, and after some extensive research Grin I think it's

Ice - Glaceon

Mossy - Leafeon

Magnetic - Nosepass -> Probopass AND Magneton -> Magnezone

Still can’t get on the gaming section.

Does anyone have a list of all the current Pokemon you can evolve with the new lures?

bettytaghetti · 20/05/2019 09:53

JustLooking do you have pokegenie on your phone? If so you can click on the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner, then click on Battle Simulator.
There you can play with raid boss/weather/friendship level (latter not necessary if soloing) and if you have screenshotted all your current Pokemon, it will give you an idea of whether you can solo when you click on find top counters. You can then either save this team under the Party section in Pogo so you are prepared before going to a raid.
You can also play around with the moveset of Pokemon on their individual pages to see if that will help, rather than wasting TM's unnecessarily, using the sword symbol on the top right of the picture.
Apologies if you knew this already, hopefully it might be of use to someone!

I do 1 and 2 star raids on my own regularly and they are easy, I can’t quite seem to manage 3 star though.

I’m not really a “raider” have only done them when I’ve need to for a research task. And once in Regent’s Park when my kids still played and we found a whole group of players but I’m not sure I’d have the confidence to do that alone. Any tips for solo raiding? Some are impossible if alone I think?

Pick, when Chansey was in raids for an event a while back, I very nearly solo’d it. I was level 36/7 at the time with good counters but not all maxed. I reckon I could do it now as I’ve got a couple more maxed out Machamps after the fighting type event.

PickAChew · 20/05/2019 00:23

It's a fab list of raid bosses, at all levels, next week. Refreshing to se an emphasis on raids that canbe easily soloed as well as harder ones.

Will be interesting to see how tough the chansey raids are. Expecting them to be at lest as difficult as those tortoises. (it's late. Mind drain)

SneakyGremlins · 19/05/2019 23:09

Me too, @Baroness!

Send me shiny vibes, DoctorTwo, and I'll send them to you too Grin I'm after a shiny bronzor!

BaronessBomburst · 19/05/2019 22:19

I am really looking forward to the raid week. I love raiding!

DoctorTwo · 19/05/2019 21:34

I had a lovely afternoon. I drove quite a way to see friends I haven't seen in ages, caught 8 shinies including Makuhita, and spent the last 90 minutes of Comm day with a woman I think is the loveliest and kindest person I know. She caught 13 shiny Torchic, 6 of which she's going to trade with her best mate, another bloke.

I'm now looking forward to (hopefully) get a purple Lapras next weekend.

WitchSharkadder · 19/05/2019 20:42

Three shiny Torchics for me, not my best community day but I'll still take that. Also got two 96% Blazikens.

Thanks to everyone I levelled up with, I'm now two thirds of the way through level 39. 1.5m XP to go...

Mumworm, I sent you a gift but you didn't open it to trigger levelling up. Can you please ping me before you do open it so I can egg. I'm CherryBam on PoGo. Thanks.

bettytaghetti · 19/05/2019 19:33

@Scabz, apologies! I forgot to take my piece of paper with all the names I was levelling up with and I missed you! Let me know when would be good for you next time.

SneakyGremlins · 19/05/2019 19:26

Grin good day today! Finally evolved my 100IV Eevee

I got 3 shinies in the 3 hours, DS got 9. Mind you, he walked with Mr40x11 (as he is now) whereas I walked with a couple of random holidaying Belgians and their dog.
I've got 5 blazikens with blastburn now, one of which is lucky so I'm pleased.
I'm also closing in on level 39..... Grin

PickAChew · 19/05/2019 19:00

As usual, it takes no guessing which one of these is ds2's shiny haul and which is mine.

The top 3 rows of ds2's is his haul since last weekend. The top row of mine is mine.

Even my only shiny pikachu is called "mum" 😭

Ah found everyone again. The gaming topic has been weird for a while for me, I kept trying to post and it was acting as if it was fine and had gone through but my posts never appeared and eventually I gave up.

I had an odd community day, two shinies quickly within the first twenty mins, then nothing until the last hour - in which I got 9!

TallulahBetty · 19/05/2019 18:23

@MNHQ any update on the gaming thread?

dillite · 19/05/2019 17:46

I got 7 shinies, one of which was 87 IV and got evolved. The other torchics were 80 IV max.

TallulahBetty · 19/05/2019 17:00

Just one shiny so far. Gah. Here's hoping to a good last hour but I'm now at home so I doubt it. Thanks to all for the co-ordinegging. Just 400k off level 40 now!

JuniLoolaPalooza · 19/05/2019 16:00

Ok @hakunarattatas I hope you got the xp! I got pretty much a million today so much closer to levelling up. Hurrah.
Three shinies, one of which is now a crappy blaziken off about an hour's walk. Happy with that.
