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

Yayyyyyy my city is one of the cities! An Unown will make up for my lack of legendaries

Kangastan and Unown to appear in select U.K. cities.

Hello all!

Just checking in. Still no luck here with legendary raids.

Soubriquet · 04/08/2017 13:43

What is everyone's best IV Pokemon?

Mine is my snorlax at 97%

My dragonite has the perfect moveset but is still only 87%

There is actually 3 people who turn up at nearly every raid with two phones at a time...means there are 6 players already.

Sometimes we take phones for people at work so we have dualled it. It's harder than it looks!

To answer the fast tm question that was asked a page or so back, if you have a good Dragonite, use the fast tm on that.

It will teach the Dragonite the Dragon Tail move which apparently is the most powerful.

Dillite2 Are there no Facebook or WhatsApp groups in your area you could join to find out when people are meeting for raids?

And if you want to keep an eye out for raids, go to gymhuntr.com and put in your location - brings up all your local gyms, whose controlling them, whether there are raids on and if so what type etc.

Dillite2 · 04/08/2017 06:12

0 legendaries here. The raids only seem to be happening in obscure locations around here. I did manage to get to one near me, but I was the only person there so obviously nothing happened.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 04/08/2017 00:42

Why haven't I seen any legendaries IN gyms? Can you not allocate them? I don't have any so haven't been able to try it myself, but I'm surprised no-one is showing them off in gyms.

Because you can't put Legendaries in gyms. You can fight with them, but you can't put them in a gym.

Android what?

I've tried po go on all sorts of incompatible devices, when DS1's phone broke. Worst case it wouldn't install (original iPad mini). Best case, it crashed after 2 minutes and the GPS didn't work (iPod touch 6) but it stayed alive long enough to catch one of the spawns in th ehouse and keep streaks going. Had an Android phone that was less than optimal, but it just crashed when the memory was full and couldn't keep up on a bus. (took advantage for him and kept on spinning the pokestop at the bus station long after I got home, since his trainer decided not to catch the bus home with me)

i do tend to get the 3 ball bonus (level 34) but have never needed them. OTOH, I tried to catch a cyndaquil for DS1 and it used up 11 balls and all his raspberries of any hue and it still buggered off.

What
👍🏻 Got it :-)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 03/08/2017 23:18

PokemonGo Your personal contribution will only get you an extra 3 balls.

Your teams conteibution will get you an extra 3 balls too, but if you were the only good one from your team the other team would get it if more of their players battled harder.

The only way it helps you catch a legendary is giving you the opportunity to have more balls.

When you have the balls, whether or not you catch it is in no way affected by your level.

PokemonGo · 03/08/2017 23:14

What
If I'm level 38 with some maxed out and very carefully chosen 'mon then surely my contribution effects my teams contribution so being level 38 helps my chances of catching a legendary - although obviously depends on other players levels, mons and their teams.

When I played the other day most the other players were low 30's and high 20's.

pinkblink I'd send her to Google, there are pages of possible causes and their fixes but she's the only one that knows enough about her phone to be able to pick the right one.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 03/08/2017 22:08

pinkblink Ahh that sucks for your friend Sad Must be the update. I do suggest contacting Niantic; they may be able to tell her if it can be fixed.

pinkblink · 03/08/2017 22:01

It's not mine 2017, it's my poke-walking buddy, she has an android, yuk, has been working fine since last update

FuckOffDavid · 03/08/2017 21:58

I'm only level 33 Pokemon I'm also useless at curve balls when I'm under pressure so haven't bothered trying. I'm part of an active Pokémon Facebook group so we go about as teams to maximize team contributions. I've just been really lucky so far. Crap luck with eggs thought.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 03/08/2017 21:55

pinkblink Contact Niantic; I haven't come across that before.

Did it previously work fine? And did your phone update recently?

pinkblink · 03/08/2017 21:53

Help please, anyone! Tried uninstalling and re downloading, anyone else having a problem?

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 03/08/2017 21:45

I got more balls than anyone else after the raids as I have better 'mon as I'm level 38 so obviously had more chance of capturing the Articuno

Being a high level doesn't mean you have more chance of capturing it, nor does having better Pokemon mean you get more balls either.

The amount of balls you get depends on gym control (2), contribution by team (so add 3 if your team battled most), damage inflicted (Max of 3) and the standard 5 for defeating it.

You can have the max number of balls, but whether or not you capture it depends entirely on luck and your ability to throw a good ball; not Level or standard of Pokemon.

PokemonGo · 03/08/2017 21:37

I've only done three Articuno raids but managed to catch two of them. I'm still trying to play without scanners etc but it's making it tricky as i can't really do raids without meeting up with groups that do. I think I'll have to have a rethink as I reallly want a moltress and I'm not going to get one on my own.

FuckIffDavid. That's a great hit rate. Are you a high level. I got more balls than anyone else after the raids as I have better 'mon as I'm level 38 so obviously had more chance of capturing the Articuno. I'm also pretty awesome at curve balls etc if I do say so myself Wink

NikiBabe · 03/08/2017 21:25

One attempt at Articuno- one success
Four attempts at Moltres - two successes
Two attempts at Lugia- no success
