Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

It looks like it's time for me to farm for some more potions then.

For those that don't read links.

Mewtwo Coming to Exclusive Raid Battles Soon!

Trainers,

Earlier today, Trainers battled against the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo at the Pokémon GO Stadium event in Yokohama, Japan. Thousands of Trainers in attendance were able to successfully catch Mewtwo and add it to their Pokédexes. In the coming weeks, you, too, will have the opportunity to battle and catch Mewtwo with the new Exclusive Raid Battle feature.

Exclusive Raid Battles are similar to existing Raid Battles, with a few notable differences. Exclusive raids will periodically appear at Gyms around the world; however, unlike existing raids, Trainers will be invited to join an Exclusive Raid Battle. To receive an invitation to participate in an Exclusive Raid Battle, Trainers must have successfully completed a raid recently, by defeating the Raid Boss, at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will be taking place. The invitations will include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, giving them ample time to coordinate with other Trainers before taking on the powerful Raid Boss.

Mewtwo is the first Pokémon that Trainers will be able to face in Exclusive Raid Battles, but other powerful Pokémon may also start to hatch from the Raid Eggs found at Exclusive Raid Battles over the next several weeks. Make sure you’re prepared to battle Mewtwo by powering up your Pokémon and battling in raids at Gyms near you!

Legendary Pokémon Take Flight
Over the past three weeks, thousands of Legendary Pokémon have been defeated in Raid Battles around the world. In celebration of this achievement and to give Trainers another chance to catch Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia, all four of these Legendary Pokémon can be battled in Raid Battles from August 14 through August 31. Be on the lookout for these Legendary Pokémon at a raid near you!

100% is for people at the event in Japan.

Where did you see 100% catch rate?

I've been hearing 1%

I want that mewtwo!

Ooh Mewtwo! That'll be fun when it gets released worldwide

What I'm needing right now is potions. (Yes, I know no-one is making me raid but it's fun and there's lots of goodies and points to be had)*

Here's a good trick: just revive all your pokemon, don't potion them, then fight on half health. I do this all the time and it's a really good way to fight lots of gyms and do lots of raids without potions.

Apparently you get 50 Premier balls. Somehow I don't think I'm going to be able to catch him as the catch rate will be ridiculously low.

Japan are having 100% catch rate for Mewtwo at the event.

That CP 😱

I could really do with a legendary break. I spent an hour walking round and round a park, ditched 70 revives and turned them mostly into balls. What I'm needing right now is potions. (Yes, I know no-one is making me raid but it's fun and there's lots of goodies and points to be had)

Mewtwo is being unleashed at the Pokémon Go event in Japan!

No news when he goes worldwide.

Haven't managed to do many raids thanks to the school holidays, but I have managed to nab one each of Articuno and Zapdos, and DS managed to get a Moltres, so I suppose we should be happy. I also at least have a shadow on the dex for a Lugia rather than a blank space, so that's good too.

However, I did finally manage to hatch a Tangela so, excluding legendaries and regionals, Gen 1 is now complete. It's frustrating that I can't get to anywhere which is running the event as once I evolve my Tyranitar Unown will be the only one I need for Gen 2, again excluding regionals and legendaries.

thank you WhatToDo, my fingers are crossed!

PikachuHeadgear Good luck getting a Zapdos!

Well, my 2 hours in Birmingham yielded 1 uknown. Ended up going with DP which hampered my pokemoning somewhat.

I'm off work this week so my plan is an all out assault for a Zapdos tomorrow. Then I think I am going to succumb to a trip to Manchester on Tuesday (alone!) to get Kangaskhan and the rest of the uknowns. It's what time off work is for isn't it?

Red Gary is doing in just fine gyms, he regularly comes back bearing coins, and he looks lovely circling away at the top of a gym

Well done to everyone who has already got a Zapdos, jealous!

Placemarking for new thread!

Been away on holiday which was nice but sadly Pokémon free...
Annoying that it coincided with zapdos and moltres, and the kanga/unown event. I might get a chance to pop over to Glasgow but looking unlikely before the 21st.

Sounds like most of you are stacking up on the special releases though, so I'll live vicariously through the success of the group!

Ruhrpott It depends on what movesets they have. If there's any specifically you're interested in changing just let me know what they have and I can tell you if it's worth it or not.

Rhydon I wouldn't use any TMs on though, as it evolves into Rhyperior in Gen 4 so its moves will change then anyway.

Congrats on Zapdos, PokemonGo!

Bimblesalong You're welcome Congrats on your Legendaries and your Unown/Kangas!

we had 5/7 players who caught it so did seem to be more than usual.

That's coincidence; that's just one of those things that go around. It's not actually true.

We had a largish group but sadly it didn't work for us.

Because it doesn't work

Ah, interesting. We had a largish group but sadly it didn't work for us. :(

Just did a raid with my gang and we tried the don't press ok button till everyone has finished catching it and we had 5/7 players who caught it so did seem to be more than usual.

Thanks for all that info whattodo. Feels like this raiding has really revitalised the game.

Went over to Manchester with my friend yesterday and got some kangas, unowns and then met a good group for raiding. I managed a Lugia and a zapdos so I'm
pleased with that.

Got myself a zapdos. . Caught 4 out of 6 legendary raids in total - So not bad. No Luiga but I'm ok with that 😌.

Want to get a better tyranitar at a raid soon

Well I have all the legendaries, one bit crappy tyranitar, a couple of 2900 cp rhydon, loads of vaperon and loads of all the other Evie evolutions.

My Gollum now also has stone edge and mud slap. Which others should I change?

Depends what strong Pokemon you've got and if they're worth changing

I've got 17 fast TMs and 20 charge TMs. I'm saving them at the moment to make sure I make the right decision on whose moves to change.

Still have 10 of each TM
