PokemonGo #14. Rhydon Time, Rhy-Rhy- Rhydon Time...

I hope you managed to lucky egg a few of those raids too Rue

Woo, level 35 finally! I went to the hospital for an appt this morning only to find out it had been rearranged for May without them telling me. So I went and did 4 Rayquaza raids instead :o caught every single one as well!

YEah I was the same. WhatToDo now I've got one I would quite like more chances to get a better one but I'm really not fussed tbh. I've got one. it's in my dex. Job Done. haha.

There is one player I know who has 8 MewTwo though.... EIGHT!

Just got level 39 after months of working at it. 5 million for level 40!

MuddlingMackem Yeah, Instinct makes up only 25% of the worldwide player base.

soupforbrains I have never actually bothered mastering curve balls so straight all the way for me The pressure is real, but for me I just want it for my dex and can worry about IVs later.

It's mainly red team around here and yellow seem to be up in the middle of the night.
I'm blue and didn't give it much thought at the time.

I'm sometimes working at an office that is a gym at the moment. It's quite funny seeing loads of people gather outside for a raid then disappear again.

You're not kidding, mackem!

Chester le Street seems to be the only consistent Tyne and Wear mystic stronghold, unless I've missed any north of the Tyne. Durham is all out war between instinct and Valor, with instinct being the early morning crowd and Valor kicking us all out, late at night (sometimes at 4am )

Didn't realise Instinct were a minority on here - in my home town we rule the roost!

GreenShadow It’s not just on MN. Worldwide, Instinct are the team with the fewest players, by a very long way.

Interesting. I would say that Instinct are the majority team in my town too.

Yes @WhatToDoAboutThis2017 it was very distressing. It's remarkable how high stress the Ex Raids are I must say. The 98% runner nearly made me cry. It was just pure bad luck. MewTwo stands a comfy distance away and has a nice big circle so it's not hard to get curve-great throws repeatedly. That damn thing just didn't want to stay inside the ball. Que sera sera

soupforbrains Thanks! I was at work during the beta ex-raid back in October so had to give DH my phone and he didn’t catch it for me unfortunately, so I’m really glad I’ll get to be at this one in person

A 98% Runner is just upsetting

We're mainly Mystic around here with a small core of regular Instincts. We have mutual agreements to maximise coinage on the gyms. No regular human Valours

I tend to do a post-school drop-off lap of the woods with one of the Instinct players so we make sure that we each gain something

There's a gym at my beavers venue. Just at the end of the night, I got knocked out and a blissey put in. I put up a good fight. Another Mystic was around fighting it off too so the Instinct gave up berrying us off. It probably didn't look like I was there as I was inside

Well done WhatRoDo!

I have had 2 Ex raids the first one I had a 98% MeeTwo but it fled! 😭😭😭

The second one I caught. It was only 86% but on the plus side it was weather boosted so level 25.

PickAChew yes I've noticed te student/Instinct corrélation too. I have also wondered about a subconscious political leaning thing. As in the areas near me which are labour strongholds Valour are the dominant team and the conservative strongholds Mystic are in charge. But where there is a higher density of young people/students the Linder/Instinct Numbers dramatically increase. Lol.

cottonwool125 Thank you! I really, really am

It’s the 25th March Thankfully I am on holiday from work that week so I can go!

WhatToDo congratulations! You must be so excited when is it?

Ds1 and I are both instinct. We've discovered that where there are students, we're not alone.

One of the gyms visible from my house has been swinging between yellow and blue all week, sometimes in rapid succession. I couldn't be arsed to get involved as I've turned that one gold, now.

OMG! OMG YES! Ex raid passes have dropped and...

Finally, finally I have another ex-raid pass and have another chance at Mewtwo!

I have been complaining about the ex-Raids not turning up in our town since the beta back in October, and now they’ve fixed their code we are on the map again!

That’s a shame

yeah that's the event. I missed out on that event so don't have Kangas or Unown (sniff )

Ha ha no worries easily done It was twinned with the Kangaskhan temporary move last August.

lol x-post

WhatToDo I've just realised I've been SAYING Ditto and MEANING Unown alll this time lol. soz for the confusion. I do know the difference just had a brain fart! haha

soupforbrains Oh! You’re talking about Unown’s and getting them confused with Dittos; that’s why I’m not remembering it

Yeah there was an event WhatToDo it had increased ditto spawns but only the letters E U R O and P (to spell EUROPE) I can't really remember what the purpose/cause for the event was.

soupforbrains Europe event? I don’t remember there being an event where Ditto had increased spawns.
