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

We took the kids to the library this afternoon and spotted a Lugia raid happening a minute away, so we went and joined in. There were loads of people there, but I didn't get close to defeating it in the groups I was in, so not even a whiff of a chance of catching one.

So I hatched a 10km egg whilst I had a lucky egg on the go...and it was....

This bastard .....FML.....

I'm incubating 5 x 10k eggs - I've only 1k to go. How much xp will I get if I use a lucky egg and hatch it this evening? Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

(Sorry for not googling myself but I am too lazy hoped someone would know offhand. Grin)

NikiBabe · 24/07/2017 18:24

My last 10k egg was another Mareep bringing with it 40+ candies. Now can evolve my flaafy as i have 132 mareep candy

I hatched another Larvitar, which brought 32 candies with it. I have enough candy to power up the best one and do a double evolve to Tyranitar. Quite chuffed with that.

I didnt realise it was that rare though

Well it is a Legendary! Wouldn't mean so much if everyone could get it.

Well, using a golden razz increases your chances, as do very good throws.

Not by a lot. I've used a golden razzberry every single time with both Lugia and Articuno along with great and excellent throws and still nothing.

I have seen precisely one legendary raid, an Articuno, I turned up, no-one else did.

FML.

In other news, I hatched a Porygon and got a Porygon 2 from the candy. 226 in the dex!

NikiBabe · 24/07/2017 16:58

Yes. There was a whole crowd there and so many of them said they didn't and never get it.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 16:51

I've been in groups with 12 - 14 of us and only 2 or 3 a time have caught it.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 16:50

Wow I got it first throw with a golden berry

That is exceptionally lucky.

PickAChew · 24/07/2017 16:28

I saw an active Lugia raid, this morning, but it was somewhere completely inaccessible to me (ad beliee me, I've walked down all sorts of back alleys and paths trying to reach that gym without paying for a guided tour!). I settled for screen shot.

I had no DS1 and a bouncy DS2, anyhow. I've done a raid with both phones before, but not with a hand on DS2 as well!

NikiBabe · 24/07/2017 16:21

2%

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 15:58

Congrats! There's a less than 2% chance of actually catching a legendary.

eyebrowsonfleek · 24/07/2017 15:38

We just got an Articuno each. 👍🏻👍🏻
No Lugia yet but very happy.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 14:14

Are they disappearing tomorrow?

Ooh scrap what I just said! Articuno and Lugia aren't disappearing tonight; they'll still be available after today but they'll be very rare.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 14:11

Are they disappearing tomorrow?

They disappear tonight.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 24/07/2017 14:10

What did you use the lucky eggs for? Evolving?

Yup, I've been sitting on a stack of pidgeys since the last double xp event.

No other poke hunters in my neck of the wood so I haven't got a chance with the legendary birds. Are they disappearing tomorrow?

Soubriquet · 24/07/2017 14:01

The reduced hatching only works with new hatches not ones you are currently walking.

If you click an egg and go to put it into an incubator, you will notice a big 0.33 on it. Incubate it, go off the egg page and go back on and it's reduced

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 14:00

I don't have the reduced hatching distance that others seem to have?

You will do; it just doesn't always show it.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 24/07/2017 13:58

I don't have the reduced hatching distance that others seem to have? I have the double XP and candy though so have had a good evolve and clear out session. Very satisfying

NikiBabe · 24/07/2017 13:38

I got one whilst running a lucky egg and got 27,400xp.

😍

RueDeWakening · 24/07/2017 13:32

I think the event finishes at midnight tonight.

I hatched a larvitar and now have enough candy to get a tyranitar Grin very exciting, I'm due a mass evolve and it should get me to level 32.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/07/2017 12:31

Just did a Lugia raid and didn't catch it Sad

Off to Articuno now so fingers crossed!

Icouldbeknitting · 24/07/2017 12:22

I need to take my Houndour for a nice long walk and hopefully catch dozens of Pidgeys and Weedles to evolve with the third lucky egg. After that I am done.

If I can walk Houndour enough to evolve it then that's my Pokedex complete except for Unown which I can't do much about.

NikiBabe · 24/07/2017 12:18

I have some decent ones from 5ks...1.7ks.

Tyrogue, Scyther, Pichu, Magby.

I have a 10k on the boil only 3.3ks net.

What time is this event off?
