Ok yep.

The 'Catch 3 poison type' task with an encounter reward can be Ghastly

And also,

The 'Make 3 great throws' one can also be ghastly.

soupforbrains · 06/05/2018 21:43

Also re:ghosts.

There is at least one field task which gives you a ghost encounter. I'll look it up in a mo to confirm what you should be keeping an eye out for.

In other news I have finally, FINALLY hatched a flipping Wynaut! Thank god! Haha

RueDeWakening · 06/05/2018 19:46

Yay, got my last ghost! Woke up at 3am, couldn't sleep, logged in and there was one outside my house :o

Finally on to the next stage...just 10 raids to go Hmm

KadabrasSpoon · 06/05/2018 19:23

Have two young DCs so unfortunately can't go ghost hunting late at night. That's probably a good thing or I'd be breaking into graveyards

KadabrasSpoon · 06/05/2018 19:22

If there's not an event on they usually spawn in my house at night. Ooh didn't realise shuppet was a raid boss I'll keep an eye out. Feels like these ghosts have taken weeks and they used to be so easy to get.

tumpymummy · 06/05/2018 14:51

For those still trying to catch ghosts you stand a better chance of seeing them if you can go out late at night? Or what about a shuppet raid?

Mrsmomo · 06/05/2018 10:58

Hi everyone, had busy period at work so wasn't doing much hunting. Glad to be back, what have I missed? Smile

iheartmichellemallon · 06/05/2018 10:30

Me too purple - it's very annoying especially as we used to see them all the time!

purplewaterbottle · 06/05/2018 07:56

I’ve needed to catch those blinking ghosts for about two weeks now and I haven’t even seen a sniff of one! Got ditto and the great throws ages ago.

pawpee · 05/05/2018 22:14

KadabrasSpoon I had a make 3 great throws field research task today and the reward was gastly.

KadabrasSpoon · 05/05/2018 22:10

I see there's another event after this one. Unless they do a ghost event one day I'm never going to find these ghosts. Never thought I'd miss my evening shuppet plague!

Couldn't resist.

Yeah I'm less sure on the egg XP side of things. But I do know categorically that starpieces do not give you extra stardust from special research rewards.

Wartortle88 · 05/05/2018 20:26

I don't want to say for sure about now, but when I did the special research tasks I put a lucky egg on for the last few claims and got double XP on them.

But if it was unintentional that it did double it may have been "fixed" like the raid task by now.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/05/2018 16:19

Got my Zapdos this morning and a decent Onix from a field task. Still working my way through the 10gym task.

Plans to spend a sunny bank holiday weekend sitting near the gym in the Park have been scuppered though. Festival + licensed bar = bag search + no liquids except those bought at the bar.

Although the bag searcher did miss the small bottle of water so I could try and sneak another one in.

soupforbrains · 04/05/2018 21:16

That's a fair point.

I solo'd a Hitmonlee this morning and got 4 rare candy. Then did a Latias at lunchtime and got 7. 😁

PickAChew · 04/05/2018 19:32

The bonus stardust and rare candy are an event thing that people might not be aware of, though and I thought it was worth making the point that that particular reward is affected by a starpiece.

soupforbrains · 04/05/2018 19:26

@PickAChew she's not talking about a raid though. She's talking about completing her Mew research tasks and collecting the completion rewards plus Mew.

PickAChew · 04/05/2018 16:00

And that should be the stardust you get from a raid. These temperatures in double figures are melting my poor northern brain

PickAChew · 04/05/2018 15:58

The xp you get from a raid whether successful or not is multiplied, mind. I sat on a park bench and allowed latias to pulverise some vermin just for the stardust and rare candy, this morning.

soupforbrains · 04/05/2018 15:53

Oh also I too managed to catch both shiny meditite and makuhita yesterday morning. within about 2 mins of one another. They're both totally pathetic in terms of CP. But they've ticked the boxes on the pokedex. also evolved my meditite to a medicham to get that shiny box ticked too.

soupforbrains · 04/05/2018 15:52

@tumpymummy Don't waste a star piece.

your stardust rewards from special or field research tasks DO NOT get multiplied by star pieces.

I don't know about a Lucky Egg for XP but I do know that star pieces definitely don't work.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 03/05/2018 20:22

Congrats on your new shinies, guys!

Wartortle88 · 03/05/2018 19:37

Argh just noticed my pic didn't attach :D

Two new additions to my shiny family, far luckier this event than normal!
