There's no-one quite like Yanma, I'm sure you will agree

Three of us tried to take down an articuno earlier (levels 32, 31 and 25) and didn't even come close, about halfway I think! So won't try again without a larger group (the big group in Vienna did it in under half the time!)

I'm hoping to borrow DH's phone tomorrow to try and catch Articuno as my phone also keeps freezing/crashing or just fails to load Pokemon Go.

I have however ordered an amazing secondhand phone so that I can play properly. It's a Huawei Nova.

cottonwool125 Nests have only just rotated so you've got a while yet!

I have a Sandshrew but only ever had the one. Sandslash is one of the few I'm missing from Gen I.

According to Silph Road, there's a Mankey, Onix and Sandshrew nest in my local city! Never had a Sandshrew, and yet to evolve Mankey and Onix into Primeape and Steelix (I have a the special item, fortunately.) If only I'd known this earlier, I wouldn't have spent my last day off in my Pj's!

Still no sign of getting a legendary though, I don't know how often they'll be available now.

Articuno will is available until Sunday 30th July.

Moltres is available Monday 31st July to Sunday 6th August.

Zapdos is available Monday 7th - Sunday 13th August.

Lugia is available until the end of the current legendary run, which is presumably the 13th August.

They have a base catch rate of 3% but they appear several times a day (at least in my small town) in various gyms.

Also hatched a cyndaquil today! Kicking myself, just accidentally put a 2k into a blue incubator. Annoying!

I hatched a cynquadil this morning. 5k.

Thank you What and Rude! Will keep my eyes peeled. All I seem to be getting at the moment are 5km eggs so we shall see.

Yes, I hatched a cyndaquil yesterday :o

I'm sad the event is over, the extra xp was fantastic! Still no sign of getting a legendary though, I don't know how often they'll be available now.

Question for you all- can you get Gen 2 starters from eggs? If so, is it 2 or 5km eggs?

They're rare, but you can get them from 5k eggs

I've also seen a couple in the wild; though I caught the majority of mine during the water and grass events.

Question for you all- can you get Gen 2 starters from eggs? If so, is it 2 or 5km eggs?

I still need to add Totodile and Chikorita to my dex- have Bayleef and Croconaw from raids, but have never had a sniff of the starters in the wild or from eggs.

Thanks, Wreckingball.

I shall make a point of hanging around there when there's a raid on. Nonchalantly, obviously.

Whattodo just catching up on the thread (should really properly rtft before posting ) that chart explains it way better.

Pickachew yes I noticed the pikachu today as well. Thanks for the remote feeding tip, although apparently DD already knew this and decided not to tell me

Too much chocolate. This lot barely fit.

Worked it out! Pokemon in bag > go to gym!

So how do you do remote berry feeding, then? The pikachav I put in a gym on a drive by (I didn't have my pokemon ordered by CP at the time) is at less than full motivation but I can't see how to fix it.

Did anyone else notice that Pikachu was still quite prevalent, today, just without the 'at? I caught 2 and DS1 says he found another one on the way into town that I missed.

Smashie11 I posted this chart a couple of pages ago; curve balls drastically increase your chance of capture.

@BSJohnson we stumbled across it... we thought we'd have a crack at the legendary and hoped one or two people would be there! There was an Austrian girl co-ordinating who set up the group and gave us the code. It was at the Strauss statue in Stadt park

Last couple of days DH and I have seen like 10 legendary raids in the town near where we live but none of them had a single other player at them today we went out for the day and came home via a big (for us) town, found a huge group of people and both caught our first Articuno!

Oh also found if I do spinny balls it helps my catch rate. I practised on pidgeys etc until I got the hang of it and ok so a few balls go wide but the ones that hit (normal) Pokémon usually stick and definitely helps with the legendary Pokémon.

Been a while since I've been on this chat but have still been Pokémon hunting with the family. I second what everyone is saying about finding a fb group for raids. I found one for my nearest big town (we live in a little village), joined and have managed to get 7 Articunos and 1 Lugia! My DD has 4 Lugia and 2 Articunos and my DS has 2 Lugia and 1 Articuno. We definitely couldn't have done it without the fb group. Try searching Pokémon Go then start inserting names of towns etc near you. There will be groups it just finding them that's tricky.

OMG, Wreckingball!

I'm going to Vienna in a week, and was panicking cos one of the next legendaries will be released while I'm away. Did you just stumble across your group of 20? Can you recommend places to meet fellow pokemoners? I'm not sure my German is up to making contact online, but maybe there's a fb page?

Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

Congrats Wreckingball25!

Lol, I know I'm being a bit daft but I don't use sites like that as it feels like I'm missing the point of the game.

I take the game very seriously so it's useful to know what raids are happening where, and it also helps get people together on our WhatsApp group so we have enough for raids.

It's also useful for a massive gym takeover so you know which ones to go for and which direction.
