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

I'm a happy bunny. Got three new Pokemon this morning.

Finally got my blastoise, got my donaphan and hatched a surprise scyther from a 5km egg which was walked at 1.7km with the reduced walking distance.

Very happy bunny indeed

Seems to be much less legendary raids today.

That's a shame .

There's three going on here at the moment and there were two this morning so fingers crossed we catch one!

Its a chilly miserable looking day today so not sure I can be really arsed to go out pokemonning. Even if there are any legendary raids the chances of there being more than a couple other people are slim to none so pointless and I have only one egg so can't make the most of egg hatching distances. Think I'll just do a lucky egg evolve at home and leave it at that.

We managed to defeat him- it's the bonus catching part that we suck at.

What did you use the lucky eggs for? Evolving?

I did 4 lucky eggs yesterday, 150 000 each, almost on level 34!

Ooh nice one tumpy, hope you catch it next time! I'm hoping to find one or two tomorrow to join in on.

Have been reading local Facebook pages and seems as though lots of people haven't been able to catch the legendaries, apparently just a 2% catch rate.
Normally I am too shy/embarrassed to join raids but this morning it was pissing down and there was no one else around apart from the pokehunters so I just went up to them to see if I was too late to join in. Some of them had already tried the raid and failed. I decided to give it a go and about 12 people joined in and defeated the Articano. Unfortunately I didn't manage to catch it. With the rain my screen was wet so I wasted a couple of balls. The guy next to me caught his though. On the plus side I did get 13000xp, 6 golden raspberries, 6 magic rainbow candies and 1 of those things that lets you change moves. And it was fun!

I've not been able to got out and do any big raids although we tried a articuno but there were only four of us so you can imagine how that went 😂

I have been able to have a lucky egg on the go most of the day - I had over 70 of them so I though I might as well. Ive been able to get 1000xp from a single throw. I've also been pineapp'ing the hell out of every pidgey I've seen. Getting 12 candies from one catch with a first evolution is pretty neat.

This evening I did a mass evolve and leveled up to level 38. I've been saying I'm going to give up when I get to level 38 but we will see 😬 I think I need to get an articuno and a legion first.

I finally gave in an evolved a crappy chancy and am now the proud trainer of a 706 Blissey

64PooLane Welcome! We love new people

Also: hi I'm never sure how to join these long-running threads. I haven't posted before on this one but I've been playing with DS (too little for his own phone) for about a year. We let it drop for a while, but got interested again after the gym revamp. Just hit level 30 on Friday.

I've just been out for a long walk to hatch eggs and replenish my bag after catching masses of vermin today. Of course I caught masses more on the walk, and my bag remains depleted.

Hatched four 5k eggs though, just after coming in the door all tired out, and the stardust boost has given me a thrill.

Didn't even see a legendary raid today.

My first lucky egg sesh has amassed 128kxp so I'm happy with that one.

We attempted 2 Articuno and failed both times. 😢 Hopefully can do better tomorrow.

How many of there were you? You'd need at least eight, preferably eleven or twelve. Any less and it's not worth wasting a raid pass on.

I haven't got either legendary so far. Hoping for a miracle tomorrow! I did get a second dragonite today, and a scizor, and a ton of Mareep candy, and we caught a larvitar, so pretty good day.

Still have 6 to get in gen 2 but it's looking more managable now.

Now Level 29!

Just did an Articuno raid - 11 of us and only 4 caught it. Me and DH did not catch it unfortunately

I've made the most of the double candy and chucked out loads of less than "strong" Pokémon. Have 90 favourites and ready to evolve. Been catching loads of vermin, do might run to a second luck egg, tomorrow night, now I've made room to keep stuff.

I've been neglecting my po go housekeeping and it took me over an hour to sift through everything.

When does this event end

Tomorrow, 24th. Though the 48 hour bonuses are available until 1am Tuesday.

How long are Lugia and Articuno available for - 48 hours or permanently?

48 hours I believe. They're too special to be permenant.

Did a Lugia raid but there weren't enough of us, so will have to try again tomorrow.

I caught a Lugia (from a raid)!

Totally failed with Articuno though.

Has anyone else noticed not all eggs put into incubators get the shorter hatching time?

A Dratini hatched from my 10k egg. Unfortunately it wasn't very strong, which was disappointing.

When does this event end

Having successfully evolved Meganium, I'm now starting a long summer of walking Flaffy. 93 candies to go... my rare candies are going towards the last few for Tyranitar. It's too depressing choosing Pupitar again.

I saw a 2300 wild Snorlax, but he ran away after 2x ultra ball and razzberries. I've found recent raid hauls rather lacking and was out of golden razzberies

Done well out of commons/ vermin today. Lots of new pokestops spun while DH was driving too.

I think I'm done for the day. It's still daylight and it's not raining but I've had enough. (Unless a L1/2 raid pops up at the closest gym in which case I might pop out again)

I thought I'd level up, get a gold gym and hit the 1000 hours defending by the end of the weekend. I did the first two but my defenders I put out today have lasted no more than an hour and the two that have been out there for days are still out there.
