Despite only really playing at the weekend due to working I'm now 180k through Level 31. Today I cheated somewhat. The M25 was stationary, so I opened the app and left it on. I had 8 eggs cooking and between junctions 18 and 22 managed to hatch 7 of them. Mantine, 2x Exegcute, Krabby, Eevee, Togepi and Magby.

Congrats Abbey on reaching Level 30, and commiserations Spammy on not being able to log in.

Level 28, should be able to join a raid.

Sorry Igneo, I have no idea! So when you click into the gym, you just see a big egg and nothing more?

I'll have a snoop about and see if I can find out.

Igneococcus · 24/06/2017 09:54

Psammead if there is no timer and no faces on the screen with the egg does that mean no one has signed up for a raid yet?

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 24/06/2017 09:52

By the way, the raid's difficulty is shown by the number of little devil heads or whatever they are, above the egg. Your raid is level 2 which is, according to Niantic, possible to solo. The Pokémon won't be super good, but it's still exciting!!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 24/06/2017 09:50

Razzberries, even, thanks autocorrect.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 24/06/2017 09:49

You need a raid pass, nameless. Do you have one? If not, go spin the gym's photo disc and you should be given one unless 20 people got there before you.

After you have it, be at the gym when the egg cracks. You can then select your team (I think you have about 90 seconds to do so) of whatever Pokémon you think you should fight with, check out the other players close by, and fight. After the fight you will be given rewards, and the opportunity to try and catch the boss (whose CP will be much smaller by then) for your own. You get a few new balls (premier balls, I think?) to catch it with. You cannot use any other balls, but you can use raspberries.

What does it mean when a big egg has appeared on a gym?

WooWooSister · 24/06/2017 09:00

We've got 3 raids about to start beside us. DS is level 25 but still got the raid notification.I don't know if that means he can play or not.
I can't believe they changed the coin allowance just after 2 pokemon returned to us after 14 hrs in gyms! We've still got 2 pokemon that have been in gyms since the new gyms went live so 1 day and 12 hours. We're off out today so will need to rely on others to feed them.

Natsku · 24/06/2017 08:36

Hope they don't take forever to bring raids to Finland like they did with releasing the game last year.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/06/2017 00:41

Ooh, raid battles are team agnostic, so anyone can take part in them!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/06/2017 00:38

Raids seem to be mostly live in the US at the moment, but they think it will be rolled out everywhere in time for the games first anniversary at the beginning of July.

Here's a breakdown of exactly how raids will work: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-23-pokemon-go-raids-raid-battles-raid-bosses-raid-passes-raid-rewards-4819

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/06/2017 00:34

YES! Raids have been lowered to Level 28 (which I've just passed!) Smile

Phew; no possibility of missing out on legendaries!

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 24/06/2017 00:14

My Snorlax has been sent home at some point this evening along with 50 coins. It had probably been in there approximately 10 hours?

I've got 2 still going overnight.

I like the way that the gym can be spun which means there is some benefit to all players. Shame they don't show up on a Go Plus though, particularly when it's a pokestop that's converted.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 23/06/2017 23:47

Ahh, thank you, WooWooSister Smile Good to know it gives you a warning; especially useful for the ones near your house that you can just nip out to feed.

The level has dropped for gym raids. I'm 29 and got a gym pass when I spun the poke stop on a gym.

That sounds hopeful, but could it be that anyone can get a raid pass but you can still only participate if you're Level 31 or higher?

WooWooSister · 23/06/2017 23:34

WhatToDo you get a notification just before the Pokemon comes out of the gym. You get a message saying it needs a treat and if you can't get down to the gym to feed it, you then get another message saying it's battled hard and returned to you.The message this morning said it brought x number of coins back but the one this afternoon didn't list a number of coins. I'm not sure if that was a glitch or a change and I couldn't remember my coin total so couldn't work out how much it did bring back

DameDeDoubtance · 23/06/2017 23:11

I am still in 2 gyms, unheard of round here! Nice to see other teams having a crack at the gyms and getting in, they have been static for months.

Natsku · 23/06/2017 23:01

ooo and now raids are for level 28 and up!

TrashPanda · 23/06/2017 22:46

Coins started at 1 per hour capped at 100 a day. They seem to have changed it already, probably because of how quickly gyms are changing hands at the moment, to 1 every 10 minutes capped at 50 per day.

Hatched a Mareep this morning and it came with 20 candy, up to 105 now. Have one more 10k incubating and hoping for another Mareep or a Larvitar.

aneres · 23/06/2017 22:45

Loving the new gym setup, previously local gyms were all red, now yellow are dominating, got 26 coins earlier and I only think I was in the gym a few hours.

I really think the reds that previously dominated the gyms were spoofs.
