Pokemon Go #10. See ya later Feralligator, in a while Totodile

Wow, that is lucky. 7 raids, that should say. 3 Magikarp, all caught, 1 Bayleef, caught, 3 Croconaw, 1 caught. Only 1 wonder from 5, that being the Croc. I guess I'm owed

Have you done more higher level bosses? Mine were all one or two 'heads' so far.

I must be lucky then as I've done double figures for raids now and they were all wonders!

Oh and I finally got some rare candy! Not sure who I'll use it on though 🤔

I've done six raids so far, caught 4 of them, ad this is the only 'wonder' I have seen so far. I believe the other 3 were 'caught my attention'.

I'm poring all my winnings into bag upgrades, wish they would increase poke storage too. I have over 1000 pidgey candy.

Managed to take down another gym and this time my mon has some friends, only 2 but it's lovely to see a red gym in town.

It's a 'wonder' too!

I'm pretty sure all Raid Pokemon are wonders. At the very least they'd be caught attention.

With throwing balls, I don't do anything in particular. No spinning or anything.

I usually tend to get 13 balls, and the circle is always dark red (very hard to catch!), so the first four or five I pinap, then the next four or five I raspberry. If I'm down to three balls and I still haven't got it, then I'll golden raspberry in desperation!

I had the same. Normally I'd throw out some berries to keep my Razzs and Pinabs to around 40 and my Nanabs to about 5. And revives to about 40 too. But now, every thing counts! I upgraded my bag twice today.

I spin anticlockwise then pull the ball into the bottom left corner and then flick it diagonally upward and to the right. If you're left handed then clockwise and bottom right will work.

I went raiding with my son who hasn't played in months. He should have stopped fighting and concentrated on staying alive much earlier than he did because at L32 I could have taken the Electrobuzz on my own but it was giving his L15 collection a severe pounding. We did it, he got kicked out but rejoined in time for the payout.

I maxed out my bag this afternoon and for the first time found myself in the position of not wanting to throw anything away. I now need the potions and revives and I have a use for the berries too.

Finally caught a raid Croconaw. First ball. Meh. No idea why it wouldn't work before. It's a 'wonder' too!

Anticlockwise, eh? I'll have to give it a go.

I spin anti-clockwise for a while then release at about 45 degree angle to the right of the pokemon, usually hits just right then

My daughter does the ball spinning thing but every time I try it they just whizz off in the wrong direction. After raids I just fruit and throw each time and it seems to work.

I have done two Totodile raids so far and failed to catch both of them.

Has anyone mastered the art of throwing poke balls with the stars? Like, circling first and then throwing them? I think I need to practice that.

I also did my first raid today on my own and took the gym! Well chuffed with myself - not really sure what I am doing but my fighting has improved with practice!
Gym is somewhere that closes at 5pm so if it stays another hour am sure it's guaranteed till the morning

Snagged another Bayleaf in a raid and took down a blue gym stuffed with powerful mon only to last 10 minutes before being kicked out, sob.

Me too, I think it's 'only' a cold. She's sleeping right now, poor baby. I'm itching to get out and play, and normally she would be too! She's my partner in crime. I asked my 4 year old if she'd like to come out and play and she said 'I already did' which is true, she soloed a raid last week but she doesn't really like playing.

Aww hope she gets better soon PsammeadPaintedTheLion

My plans for a Pokémon weekend have been scuppered. No Machamp, no Venusaur DD1 is poorly.

Annoyed! I just went out of my way on a long walk to feed my vaporeon, only to find a flipping raid had just started and I can't! Grrr. At least I will hatch an extra egg.

Here's a pic for the tiers 3 and 4 raids

Need to remember not to bother taking over any gyms today as I already got my 50 coins from my overnight Snorlax.

Just checked and all my eevee evolutions are double whatever

Types to use

Oooo found this

I love Dunsparce, they are so cool looking, really alien.

We're heading out later to find some 1 or 2 header raids which we can handle on our own. Might have a look at some others but don't want to commit unless I see other people.

Is there a chart that lists what type of mon is good against other mon?

The game is nuanced which is why we are all still playing almost a year later. Ultimately I am here for the dex as I love collecting but I really enjoy the gyms too, especially now!

I would love an egg overhaul now too, or at least if they rotated them once in a while!

Hi all, I've not been doing much lately as been on holiday with limited signal. What was great though is at our accommodation there were a lot of ones I never see. Got a lot more Abra candy and new to the dex are Dunsparce and Usaring. Also one away from my fairy and ground medals.

I made my battling choices thanks to you WhatToDo. Your advice on pitting Fire against Grass and Electric against Water etc helped me choose appropriate 'Mon, and seeing 'Super effective' over my opponent was just wonderful.

That's great news! Magneton was a great choice and a magikarp from a raid will be a perfect candidate to turn into a Gyarados so I'd definitely favourite it.

Now I find out that the same 'Mon have move sets that make them specialists against other 'Mon. Really? Blimey. This game is more nuanced than I thought.

Yep, there's a lot more to it than you'd think! Moves really are what make or break a battle.

I love battling anyway, but raids are just so much fun
