Good luck to all those doing ex raids tomorrow afternoon

PickAChew · 10/02/2018 22:31

Crossing fingers. We were passing through on the bus so didn't have a chance to catch any.

Wingull sightings at Seaham, btw, right where you would expect them!

Hope there are a few there tomorrow afternoon, going to be at the Ex-Raid there. Grin I've only ever spun that gym, never raided at it though. One of the glitch passes. :)

Murinae I am so sorry Blush that's a lovely looking cockerel none the less! Grin

KadabrasSpoon · 10/02/2018 21:18

Congrats eurochick it's so nice when you get that pesky last one.

Murinae · 10/02/2018 20:40

Yes he has crowed

Murinae · 10/02/2018 20:31

Nope definitely a cockerel!

I must admit I read it as cocker spaniel 😂

Murinae · 10/02/2018 20:25

Puppy? It’s a chicken 🐓

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/02/2018 20:15

eurochick Congrats on completing Gen I!

I’ve completed Gen I bar Mewtwo (ex-raid only), Mew (not yet in game) and Tauros (regional).

With Gen II, I’m missing Forretress, Scizor, Heracross (regional), Corsola (regional), Smeargle (not yet in game) and Celebi (not yet in game).

cottonwool125 · 10/02/2018 20:12

Murinae new puppy, how exciting! Grin

eurochick · 10/02/2018 20:09

I was in Stockholm for work yesterday and finally completed Gen 1 minus the legendaries - I'd been missing Hitmonchan. I was walking to the station and there it was.

Murinae · 10/02/2018 19:44

I’ve still not been out and caught anything new. I’m sat at MILs after picking up a new rescue cockerel called Lawrence.

I only have one shiny, a shuppet. I have over 400 magical candies waiting for a red Gerry

KadabrasSpoon you get a notification and when you look in your bag it’s there if you click on it it expands to tell you time and place. Here are mine

How do you know if you've got an ex raid? Does something pop up? Clutches straws!

Yes, as soon as you enter the game if you've received an ex-raid pass a large notification filling the majority of the screen will pop-up, letting you know when and where it is.

You can also re-access the notification by going to your profile and clicking on the gym it’s at.

Congrats on your shiny Shuppet!

KadabrasSpoon · 10/02/2018 19:23

Just got my very first shiny! It's a shuppet.

Good day today up to 302 on the dex

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/02/2018 19:06

cottonwool125 Thank you! It’s my seventh so far; three shiny magikarps, two shiny Pikachu’s, the shiny Zapdos they released and this shiny Swablu.

Aww that’s a shame Sad Just keep clicking on everything!

I’ve clicked on over four hundred shuppet and yet no shiny, but only twenty-five swablu and I get one. It’s weird!

cottonwool125 · 10/02/2018 19:02

WhatToDo Congratulations on the shiny!

I still don't have any shinies Sad

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/02/2018 18:55

Woohoo! I caught a shiny Swablu! It’s only 55% IVs but I don’t care! Another shiny Smile

I also did my first Rayquaza raid but didn’t catch it, unfortunately.

So far I've had sunny and normal castform (it was clear here, last night), more than enough Taillow to evolve one, though none of them great, several Surskit, a single beldrum and enough swablu to be almost half way to evolving one, though no yellow ones. They were everywhere, along with volbeat, which I was heartily sick of by the time I'd caught my first, just like plusle!

jaimelannistersgoldenhand · 10/02/2018 18:10

Swablu is available as a shiny.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/02/2018 16:25

CrabbitArse You’re welcome Smile

If we split in our group, we usually do one group blue and the other group red and yellow together, as there’s less of both of them. Maybe you could suggest that?

CrabbitArse · 10/02/2018 16:18

Thanks What I'm stupidly excited because I know I'll never get another chance at a really big raid so I really want to get it but you're right about not putting my eggs in one basket. Found the local Discord & they want to do it in teams to maximise balls but I'm Instinct & there's only 4 of us confirmed as going. Hopefully more will turn up on the day.

Murinae · 10/02/2018 13:40

We took mewtwo down with 8 so I wouldn’t worry about your Pokemon too much
