PokemonGo #15. We're gonna rock down to Electrike Avenue

So what are people doing with Mew?

Nothing, he’s not worth powering up so no need to alter movesets either.

I’m waiting for a Mewtwo over 90% before I start powering up (the two I have are 84% and 87% and that’s just not good enough), though I have ploughed a load of candies in to free up bag space.

Hello, I’ve been lurking for a while and really enjoying these threads.

ANutAsBigAsABoulder Hi! What’s your team and level?

Hello, I’ve been lurking for a while and really enjoying these threads. Am loving the new research tasks, especially combined with the boosted amount of pokemon around - have reached the last stage before a Mew hunt but am still searching for my first shiny magikarp. Am also looking at boosting my sim card data as I’m zooming through my 4G allowance

He’s rubbish....but he’s red!

Oh no! That's annoying if they've changed the doing several raids on one pass thing. Took me days to find a ditto and 10 ghost pokes so was hoping to do the 10 raids this w/e. Also we were supposed to be going away this eve for a party. But DH has hurt his back so we won't be able to stay over. Which now means I'll be around for the mareep event 2moro which I though I'd miss. Is it wrong to be a bit pleased!?

Good luck for the ex-raids folks. I've got one during community day on Sunday and a pass for the 23rd that I can't use as I'm away. My last one ran so hopefully I'm due a good one on Sunday, fingers crossed!

So what are people doing with Mew? I think I'm just going to treat it as a collectable. Mine is mid-80s IV with Rock smash and Stone edge. I don't fancy the TM lottery, I'm currently low on them after a lot of move optimising recently, but even if I wasn't I don't think I'd risk it with those odds. I'm sitting on a chunk of rare candy in hope of a better Mewtwo - my best at the moment are 87% and a weather-boosted 84%. If a better one comes along I think that's a better use of the rare candy (the legendaries I want powered up are already done to at least level 30).

Is anyone else going for powering up or move changing?

I’ve got a ex-raid pass! Bit suprised as I’ve done about six raids in total and only one with others.

Congrats! You only have to hit the ex-raid location during the specified window and you should qualify (however it is not guarenteed).

I have an ex-raid on Sunday and also another for the 23rd too.

Do you get anything special if you evolve a shiny magickarp?

MothershipG You get a red Gyarados

What IVs is it?

I’ve got a ex-raid pass! Bit suprised as I’ve done about six raids in total and only one with others. It’s half way between school and the after school activity we go to so we could in theory, but we usually drive which wouldn’t work. Depends if the kids think it’s worth the half hour walk.

My group reckon it depends on when you got to the raid pass stage, if you had it before they fixed you can still do it, and if you only reached it after you have to do 10 raids. That seems to be the conclusion on the Silph road as well though it's still a bit confusing.

People on my Facebook group are saying the gym trick is no longer working for them. :-(

A red Gary I think?

Do you get anything special if you evolve a shiny magickarp? It's only 66 cp or should I just evolve a regular 170 one?

@Wartortle88 i did 3 this afternoon on one pass

@Wartortle That was passed around generally a day or two ago, I think someone said ti on the Silph Road or something and so people just accepted it, but actually people in my area have been using it the whole time and still are today.

@afreshnewname it's been confirmed as still being Moltres.

People in our raid group were saying they've now fixed the raid thing and you actually have to do the 10 raids, though not sure how accurate that is.

I did two weeks of stamps and now have...two Moltres Perhaps they’ll change them monthly?

@Efferlunt you can usually get 9 raids done on one Raid Boss is you are there at eggs hatch. BUT be prepared that it is very boring and will take you the whole 45mins so i suggest finding a raid where you know there is seating, shelter and preferably indoors.

Also If you pick a level 1, or 2, (or a 3 if you are competent/confident) then don't forget to actually beat the boss on your last attempt.

Ah thanks afresh I saw people posting about that but didn’t quite get what they meant. It means I could be through this stage today!

Has anyone done a second round of field research yet? I'm dying to find out what it is this time 🙈 Moltres was a nice surprise

My ditto was a zigzagoon

Mine too - turned up whilst I was sat at my desk in work! Got my first Gary for the research; I find loads of karps in my area and feeding them pineapps really helped boost through the candies.

I need an excellent curve ball throw and some more mons to feed berries to and catch now. Have the region bit already. I've thrown a couple of great curveballs but can't quite get that little bit better!

@Efferlunt you don't need ten raid passes, go into a raid and start, make a couple of attacks against the raid boss then exit the raid, stay in the lobby until the timer runs out and it counts as one, you can then go straight back in and start again until you have done enough or the raid ends

oh... I didn't remember there being that task. sorry!

I do however remember ditto. PITA

Special research project? Done 10, need 10 more

And a bloody ditto

I used incense at home when I was desperate for ghosts. I had plenty to spare.
