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

How long will the boxes be around for?

I dont think I will be able to save enough coins for the bigger boxes by the time they vanish

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/08/2017 20:32

Is the special box worth having for 480 coins? I now have enough to buy it.

Yes; someone did a break down - the boxes are definitely worth it (with the Ultra box being the best).

I wonder if they ramped up the catch rate for moltres as it's the last day (nearly)?

They don't update the catch rates near the end, and tomorrow is the last day Smile

If you buy the 480 box do you still get the free daily raid pass or does it make you use up the premium raid passes first?

Yep, you still get your free one! If you have a free one, it always uses that one before premium.

Another question...

If you buy the 480 box do you still get the free daily raid pass or does it make you use up the premium raid passes first?

Thanks to whoever answers Smile

I did 4 moltres raids today to help people make up numbers and caught 3 in a row (only missed the first) so I'm thrilled. Going to wait for zapdos now and hope I've not used all my luck!

PokemonGo Congratulations on your birdie. I've just come in from a Moltres raid. Three of us were booted out after our first team fainted, like you I got back in just in time for the goodies. I was having a tactical discussion with a trainer who nearly came up to my waist, he was the youngest player I've raided with to date. He caught, I caught, my son caught - many people were very happy.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/08/2017 19:49

PokemonGo Yeah, as long as you were in the fight, if your phone crashes you still get a chance to catch it. Congrats!

NikiBabe · 06/08/2017 19:32

Caught 2 unowns and 2 kangas.

PokemonGo · 06/08/2017 18:44

Feeling pretty jammy myself. I don't do discord and Facebook meet ups etc so my chances of getting any legendaries is low especially as I've been busy doing other stuff....

However today I was in a town centre and noticed a moltres raid going on. DDs wanted to go into top shop so I thought doing the raid was a great excuse to not join them. I joined the raid and no one else was there. Tried again quarter of an hour later no there were 11 of us 😱😱😱. Not sure where they were all hiding. I could only see one person so maybe the others were spoofers ....whatever....I don't care
We took it down easily but my phoned crashed. 😭😭😓😪😢😰. I restarted and .... I was in the you won page with ELEVEN balls and lots of other stuff. It took 8 balls and a nice curve ball to catch. I was SO happy. 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
It's the only moltres raid I've done and I'm not going to get a chance to do another so it was very exciting to catch it.

TrashPanda Congrats! You've got until the end of Zapdos to get Lugia so still a week yet Smile

TrashPanda · 06/08/2017 14:49

Got my Moltres, feel very jammy about it though. Was abroad until Wednesday and then had work Thursday and Saturday and a funeral on Friday so pretty much relying on today to catch one. We have a local Discord server for raids so had a look on that. Arranged to meet at a local one at 10am, there were 11 of us in total. Took it down easy enough but only 2 of us were Instinct and I only had 6 balls to try with. First 2 balls completely missed and then the third hit him. Didn't get a nice let alone excellent but he went in with a golden razzberry. I think I was one of 3 to catch it but I'm super happy. Need Lugia still and Zapdos when it's released. Off to Rome on Friday so will hopefully be able to catch some Unown and Kangaskhan.

I presumed you're not driving whattodo but if you are, I'd recommend the other way around if you want to hit TC and arndale, the journey is similar and it's free to park at the TC while arndale is extortionate.

I'm not, no, but thanks anyway Smile

I evolved a hitmonchan today so I think the only pokemon I'm missing now (apart from regionals that haven't been available here, the unreleased legendaries and smeargle/delibird) are chansey and blissey. I've hatched tons of 10k but chansey evades me

Chansey/Blissey evaded me for ages, then I hatched two and had enough to get my Blissey, so don't fear, Chansey will appear!

Apart from the pokedex entry, you're not missing out too much; they're good gym defenders, but they aren't good for attacking (especially in raids - anyone using a Blissey in a raid is asked to switch!).

But yes, missing one is very frustrating.

Good luck 64PooLane! A family member got a Kangaskhan in Glasgow yesterday so they're definitely about Grin

64PooLane · 06/08/2017 13:14

Spontaneous trip to Glasgow with DS on a train. Wish us luck ...

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/08/2017 11:07

wartortle Brilliant, thank you! Smile

wartortle · 06/08/2017 10:14

Whattodo I'd recommend walking to picadilly gardens from arndale where you can get the X50, they're every 10/15 minutes most of the day and it takes about 40 mins to the Trafford Centre I think. It's a longish journey but if you want something from the TC specifically it's easily doable.

Soubriquet · 06/08/2017 08:28

Why am I not in a city

PikachuHeadgear · 05/08/2017 23:21

This is excellent news, I have to go to Birmingham next weekend anyway!

FuckOffDavid · 05/08/2017 21:54

I'm just missing the R now. There were loads of moltres and Lugia raids in Glasgow today. I only managed to catch 1 moltres out of 4 but caught 3 Lugia out of 4.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/08/2017 21:47

wartortle Ooh thanks! Is it easy to get a bus from the Armadale centre area to the Trafford centre? And if so, how long is the bus?

I want to shop at both the Arndale and the Trafford so want to see if it's possible Grin

The pokestops being lured is only at the weekends Sad

eyebrowsonfleek Thanks!

wartortle · 05/08/2017 21:42

What to do Yes they're in the outskirts too! A friend was at eventcity and caught a couple so I imagine they'll be at the Trafford centre too.

More central the Arndale/Picadilly Gardens area was really good, plus the stops round there were all lured almost constantly.

ProseccoandPizza · 05/08/2017 21:36

Randomly went to Cardiff today and at first pokestop in the bay we caught a Kanghaskhan and Unown!
