Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless. Wink

I've finally finished generation 1 apart from regionals and legendary.

Also hatched Togepi so now have all the babies Grin

I still haven't done a raid. I don't think I'm organised enough. I tend to play when rushing from place to place.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 02/08/2017 10:15

I meant mean to my pokemon, sod the other players! Grin

I haven't bought any passes, well one but that was with my winnings so not real money.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 02/08/2017 09:28

PokemonGo I've bought two ultra boxes (after buying two lots of the £9.99 poke coins) because they're great value for money and an ideal way to get cheap raid passes.

PokemonGo · 02/08/2017 09:26

Are people spending lots of real cash on premium raid passes? I had quite a stash of pokecoins but spent a lot over the double XP event on incubators so I only have about 400 at the moment. Most day I get my 50 coins from being in gyms but not every day.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 02/08/2017 09:13

That's probably a good idea but I would feel soooooo mean.

Mean? Why mean? I'm not being carried in the battle; I'm one of the major players. In fact I think everyone bar three in our group of 40 are over Level 30 (I'm 31).

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 02/08/2017 09:11

Fight on half health

That's probably a good idea but I would feel soooooo mean.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 02/08/2017 09:03

I have few potions, but I have 468 revives so that's not an issue. You get so many revives from doing raids anyway.

If our party faints, we don't have time to potion/revive up anyway. We just go in with whatever it suggests for the last little bit.

Due to my few potions and many revives, I usually fight on half health with everything; never have a problem doing that.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 02/08/2017 08:01

Revives and potions are an issue, this has stopped me playing in the past as I feel really guilty if I cannot revive a fainted 'mon.

Thought I had tons yesterday but ran through them very quickly.

Icouldbeknitting · 02/08/2017 07:35

We're in the position now where a few of the local players are out of revives and potions. It means when they faint out in raids they are either not coming back or they are returning with Team Weedle. If there's only a couple of them in a big team then it's fine, the rest can carry Team Weedle. It also means that when we've started a raid and taken some damage there's no quitting out to start again with latecomers.

I didn't see a firebird yesterday, there were two before 8.30 am and then after that nothing locally.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 01/08/2017 21:38

That's what it must have been.

They were wiped out early and it kept being left with just 3 of us.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/08/2017 21:23

Had a go at Ligia but even with 14 of us we couldn't bring him down. The others crashed out early and didn't rejoin.

Majority of you must have been low level and/or players who haven't used the right Pokemon with the right movesets.

We regularly take Lugia with 12 with over half the time left.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 01/08/2017 21:11

Got a Moltres! Went to London today and it was so good to be able to have a pop at them. We're rural ish and the numbers are never there to take them down. Had a go at Ligia but even with 14 of us we couldn't bring him down. The others crashed out early and didn't rejoin.

Such good fun though, plus I have over 700 poke balls! Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/08/2017 20:47

Caught a Moltres! Done two Moltres raids and a Lugia raid, caught 1 of each.

So now my legendary count is 3 Articunos, 2 Lugia and 1 Moltres Smile

eyebrowsonfleek · 01/08/2017 20:39

Caught 2 Moltres out of 3 attempts today. 😎
Considering my Articuno catch rate of 1 out of 5, it's a win for me.

Cakedoesntjudge · 01/08/2017 17:34

Igneo that's such a pain!

Tried 3 this afternoon with our group of 6 and some from the local group. Beat them each time but the only person who managed to catch it was DS who is the lowest level of all of us at 24 😂 he clearly has better luck! Happy he got it though as he was last out the group to get the other 2 and we caught them for him so this is the first one he's caught himself. He's very impressed!

NikiBabe · 01/08/2017 16:44

I couldnt catch moltres either after the raid

Soubriquet · 01/08/2017 15:38

Fucking legendaries

Took down a moltres. Easy peasy.

Bastard wouldn't stay in the bloody ball

Igneococcus · 01/08/2017 12:59

Cakes ds is playing on my phone, he is only 9 and doesn't have a phone yet. It is his account, although I could get one for myself but would have to work up through the levels. I know one other person who plays close by and a few of ds's friends at school had started playing but I don't know if they still do or what levels they are. I know a few more people in town (6 miles away from where we live) who play but my phone doesn't have 4G there. Even if I could get everyone I know together for a raid I bet half of them wouldn't have coverage at one gym or another.
I'll have a few hours to kill in Glasgow in a few weeks time but the legendaries will be gone by then, I think.

Cakedoesntjudge · 01/08/2017 12:42

Igneo - does anyone else in your family play? If so what level are the accounts? A local group to us did it with just 3 of them but they knew all the moves and they were high levels (lowest was level 36 I think).

I'm headed out to meet a group of friends who all play in about an hour. There'll be 6 or 7 of us so we're hoping we should manage it without having to co ordinate with where everyone else is locally as I have the only car between us and we won't all fit!

Igneococcus · 01/08/2017 11:42

Raid happening right now. There is no chance we ever be able to win a legendary raid here in rural Scotland I've never even seen someone else at a raid.

*Today 08:48 Kpo58

Moltres will probably be the easiest to take down as it has so many weaknesses and won't KO your rock types, like Articuno does.*

Yup!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/08/2017 08:41

Moltres has been spotted and done in our town! They took it easily with 6 so 4 is probably doable.

That means you won't need as huge a group, but if you do have a huge group it would be wise to split into Mystic/Valour/Instinct to get more balls and more chance to catch it.

(It should be noted we are all high level players who know what Pokemon are good and what movesets they have. Lower level players who need to be carried will probably not do as well in small groups and will need bigger ones.)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 31/07/2017 23:09

eyebrowsonfleek Ha ha I didn't realise that either 😂😂😂

eyebrowsonfleek · 31/07/2017 23:00

Today I found out

articUNO zapDOS. molTRES

Am I the only one who didn't know?
