Caught my shiny Lugia Grin First ball theory seems to be true. Missed out on weather boost by minutes but very happy Grin

If it is then that would be fantastic Smile

Wartortle88 · 17/03/2018 09:42

The overwhelming consensus on the Silph Road reddit seems to be that it is a 100% catch rate for shiny lugia at the moment, which is a really nice bonus!

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 17/03/2018 09:28

Eggzandbacon Nice! It looks suitably cold for this weatherGrin

Eggzandbacon · 17/03/2018 09:22

Shiney in my house!

Murinae I have caught hundreds of Shuppets (one has a permanent base outside my house!) but still no shiny one, yet the 25th Swablu I caught was shiny (Altaria is one of my favourite Pokemon ever though so I was quite happy with that).

Murinae · 16/03/2018 22:39

I didn’t even get a shiny dratini on community day. I just got a parking ticket Blush

Murinae · 16/03/2018 22:39

I still only have one single solitary shiny shuppet. I’m sure it would like a shiny lugia friend. Not very likely though. I’m still waiting for a shiny magicarp!

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 16/03/2018 22:36

Well no, it’s not a statistic at all; it’s just anecdotal evidence.

If it were the case that shiny Lugia did have a 100% catch rate then that would be brilliant, but I can’t see that being likely.

soupforbrains · 16/03/2018 22:33

Agreed. But even so it's a very heavy stat.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 16/03/2018 22:28

Apparently all catch reports so far for the shiny are first ball catches. No one has reported not catching a shiny.

It’s only been an hour or two though so that’s not much to go on.

soupforbrains · 16/03/2018 22:23

Yeah shiny Lugia is confirmed. Some chat about a 100% catch rate. Apparently all catch reports so far for the shiny are first ball catches. No one has reported not catching a shiny.

Murinae · 16/03/2018 22:21

I know it’s like like a blissy with wings but hopefully we won’t need quite so many people to take it down now we are a bit higher level and have better counters

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 16/03/2018 22:20

I shall try again Grin

Murinae Lugia is still a lot tougher than most other Legendaries due to its massively high defense so I think it will still need around 12.

I have five mewtwos and a new pass for next Saturday. I do raid in the park next to the hospital where I work and in the park in the town where I live so get ex raid passes pretty often. Yesterday I went a bit mad and did 10 raids in a row! First and probably only time I’ve done more than three in one day and got an ex raid pass from one of those raids.

I did a lucky egg evolve too today and made the most of the last of the double xp. I’m going to miss it.

Hopefully we won’t need to many for lugia now we are all higher levels than last summer. I’m now away all weekend so won’t be able to do a lugia raid till Monday.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 16/03/2018 21:58

It would appear that the Lugia thays been re-released can be shiny, so there’s at least a slight positive in it being brought back.

soupforbrains Mine should be higher but I’ve recently been in hospital and unable to play Pokemon Go properly so have been a bit hindered; I’m normally out there before work, during my lunch break, after work and my days off Grin

soupforbrains · 16/03/2018 20:48

I'm on 103 for Hoenn. I'm very happy about that.

Yes WhatToDo 8 it's remarkable. It's my friend Joe. Let me see if I can get him to send me a screenshot of the 8.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 16/03/2018 20:29

I’ve had a good day too; done a lucky egg evolve session and gained myself 100,000 XP and increased my Hoenn dex count to 98 Smile

GreenShadow · 16/03/2018 20:18

Had a very good day while out 'shopping' in the nearest big town today.
Started by hatching my very first Bagon then found a Surskit nest and went from only having one up to twelve with plenty of candy to evolve into a Masquerain - only I then also found a wild Masquerain as well!
Caught three more Anorith (only had two before).
I also caught a high CP/IV Aron which I had enough candy to evolve straight through to an Aggron.
Pretty satisfying all round.

soupforbrains Someone has 8? Lucky Shock

RueDeWakening Congrats!

Then there's the issue of other people's interest making them viable.

UrgentScurryfunge See in our town the majority of legendary raids get hit; there’s always several people about and able to do them. Of course it’s much easier with Rayquaza as you can do it with 3 if you’re all good players, rather than Lugia that requires 12-15.

UrgentScurryfunge · 16/03/2018 17:20

I haven't had an ex-raid pass since I was sent the one for Ireland! A lot of the local raids have been before 8am and long quiet phases so there's not been much action to get to. Then there's the issue of other people's interest making them viable.

Its really interesting to see how the team splits differ! I work in a university town and there are a fairly even number of valor and mystic then instinct are in the minority. However, instinct do have some really dedicated players (plus air supporters) so the gym split across the city is fairly equal normally.
