Got Entei, my fastest ever legendary (second raid).

Yeah, I suppose in unfamiliar places then the counter is good, normally I can spot the poke players and just ask but I can see it will help if you can't tell and don't want to ask :)

RudeDog Got to love a Magikarp raid! Makes me feel like a proper trainer

RudeDog · 02/09/2017 13:05

I won a raid! On my own it might have been a magikarp with a low CP and took me 25 seconds

CaeciliusIstInAtrium · 02/09/2017 12:15

Hatched three 5k eggs today, got a Kabuto, Houndour and Poliwag... DH's 10k egg hatched a Lapras. Jammy swine Envy

cottonwool125 Yeah, they are different Smile

cottonwool125 · 02/09/2017 08:20

You can also spin them around Grin not for any benefit, just looks cool

cottonwool125 · 02/09/2017 08:19

Is it just me, or do the incubators look different?

Being able to see how many people are in a raid lobby pre-pass spending is a gift to spoofers, I can't see that it's much use to people physically there though.

It's something people have campaigned for since raids were introduced; it will be really helpful. We're going on holiday soon and don't know the local players, so to see if the other people hanging around on their phones are also raiding will be very handy.

I caught a Lugia on the last ball (not a crit) yesterday so I think they've sneaked that into the update text cheekily when it was actually server side :)

tumpy mine constantly errors our at the moment especially when doing gyms. It's quite annoying.
Have installed the update but it's still glitchy

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 23:31

The update is now available Smile

Key points are the last ball glitch being fixed and being able to see whose in a raid battle before you spend your own pass.

Icouldbeknitting · 01/09/2017 20:38

Tumpy I had that yesterday, I was going to clear out a totally unmotivated gym with team pidgey and got the first out before it started playing up. I've had this before, you take the defender down to nill health and it just sits there until the timer runs down. "Network error" spoils play. I had to give up and wander off.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 16:53

Is there a problem with gyms at the moment?

Not that I'm aware of; I've taken a fair few gyms and done several raids today.

tumpymummy · 01/09/2017 16:48

Is there a problem with gyms at the moment? Had a rare spare half hour this afternoon so decided to sit at the gym in the sun to take down a gym. I got so many error and network error messages I had to give up. Only managed to knock two out, very frustrating!

Dillite2 · 01/09/2017 16:14

There's an Entei raid at the bottom of my road right now but nobody is there.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 13:33

wartortle There was an Entei raid at 7am this morning but we were all asleep so nobody made it! Haven't seen another yet, though.

loc · 01/09/2017 13:12

Living in hope whattodo, living in hope!
Might get a chance at the birds before the my disappear, thanks wartortle.

wartortle · 01/09/2017 12:28

We haven't seen one dog raid in my city so far, though the legendary birds are still about loc. There's been one dog raid in a neighbouring town but they seem very thin on the ground so far

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 10:29

And please, Gen 3 please!!!

Considering we're booked until November pretty much with the legendary dogs, and there's the exclusive raid battles coming too, I very much doubt we'll see Gen III this side of the year.

loc · 01/09/2017 10:25

Who let the dogs out?
Vaguely excited about trying to hook up with a raid party this weekend. Not got Moltres or Zapdos, so hopefully will get the dogs! And please, Gen 3 please!!! The events such as the water/grass one make it easy to fill holes in your Dex so i'm not worried about more Pokémon making the ones I need rarer. Mind you only miltank and unown missing (so that event didn't help me...).

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 01/09/2017 10:14

I can't remember hatching an Eevee this year! I thought they'd been taken out of eggs.

Nope; they're still in 5k eggs. Hatched a great one last week Smile

I didn't know that about Ampharos What may walk that one next, just need a few more candies for my bayleef. They seem to have disappeared from raids round these parts but I may just be missing them.

Yeah, Ampharos is an exceptionally good pokemon; I use it a lot to fight with.

Oh well, that was 43 candy claimed and no guarantees of getting anyone in a gym today.

At least you got 43 coins so you nearly got your 50. That's not bad!

I've now walked Flaaffy 100k and nearly halfway to Mareep.

Ampharos is the second best electric in the game after Zapdos so it's definitely worth walking and making sure you evolve your best one!

I catch Eevees, but they rarely get a decent appraisal.

Yeah, the best Eevees are the ones you hatch Smile
