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

RueDeWakening · 14/03/2018 19:25

(Not MN, I mean in my local PoGo WhatsApp groups!)

RueDeWakening · 14/03/2018 19:24

Welcome! Instinct are known as stinkies round here, sorry Grin

Argh meant welcome soupforbrains

Murinae · 14/03/2018 15:40

Welcome cottonwool125 feel free to jump in. The more the merrier. I levelled up finally this morning to level 38 (but I’m mystic). This double xp event really helped levelling up. Going to be a long slog to 39.

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 14:43

ooh 2 of us?! @cottonwool125 are we actually allowed to be in the same lpace at the same time??

Kyogre is a beast to take down, he regularly cost me (and others) 12-15 revives. Rayquaza might see me use 6 or 7.

I think my 9x10km eggs are going to hatch tomorrow, looking forward to some good ones and going over 2.5Mn stardust.

my first legendary was also a lugia and we needed about 14 people to take one down. Now we can take down a ray with only three of us.

Murinae There’s two reasons for this; the first is that the majority of players were much lower levels last summer than they are now, and the second is that different Legendaries have different requirements.

Lugia is a much tougher legendary than Rayquaza, with Lugia having such a high defense and Rayquaza’s being so low, and as a result Lugia needs more people to take it down.

CaeciliusIstInAtrium · 13/03/2018 20:07

I was surprised at how weak Ray was. I raised a Kyogre on community day (didn't catch it) and he was solid. Ate through my stocks of revives. Still trying to replenish now... Up to 20!

Murinae · 13/03/2018 18:43

Congrats CaeciliusIstInAtrium my first legendary was also a lugia and we needed about 14 people to take one down. Now we can take down a ray with only three of us. Makes doing raids much easier.
I am now only 36000 from levelling up to 38.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 13/03/2018 02:31

Congrats CaeciliusIstInAtrium Smile

The first legendary raid I did was Lugia, but I didn’t catch it on that first raid. The first legendary Pokemon that I caught was Articuno.

I remember my first legendary CaeciliusIstInAtrium, and the massive grin it left on my face. Congrats on your first, a Rayquaza I assume.

My own news: I have bought 9 super incubators, each one of which is cooking a 10km egg. This is the first time I've had 9x10k eggs and they're all going to hatch at the same time. I must remember to chuck a Lucky Egg just before they hatch.

Caught my first legendary today Grin

Wartortle88 · 11/03/2018 20:10

Five mewtwo, wow murinae ! I didn't have an invite to either of the latest raids here, but I only wanted Mewtwo for the dex entry so I'm okay with that. I evolved a feebas today so I'm up to 107 Hoenn mon, quite pleased :)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/03/2018 19:52

I was quite lucky and caught a shiny Swablu very early on; think it was the 25th Swablu that I’d seen?

But I evolved my 100% Swablu first, and now I’m 300/400 candies to evolve my shiny Swablu.

BouleBaker · 11/03/2018 15:20

Oh wow, shiny stably! I only have 33 more candy to get to evilvecSwablu but have never seen a shiny.

Eggzandbacon · 11/03/2018 15:03

Shiney Swablu!

Hacked off with mine not recording distance properly - went out for a walk this morning and didn't register a lot of the distance- will have to pop out to finish off some eggs to hatch.

Murinae · 10/03/2018 20:10

And I now have five mewtwos 🙃

Murinae · 10/03/2018 20:10

My feebas are all rubbish. I’m waiting for a better one before I use all my hard walked candies. Not got a chimecho yet either

PickAChew · 10/03/2018 19:36

I've been getting lots of 10k eggs, this week. So far it's been two trapinch and, today, a fee as (with lots of candy so I'm now walking my stonking feebas so I can evolve it), a larvitar (handy candy) and a bloody aerodactyl.
