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

Double candy + pinap =

Magikarp now past 200, which will help the quest. Now got my ghosts helped by a flurry of Gastlies. Just need Ditto...

ChiefClerkDrumknott Welcome! At the minute, ex-raids only feature Mewtwo; one of the most sought after Pokemon in Pokemon history.

Ex-raid passes are easier to get now than they used to be, but they are still very hard. You have to raid an ex-raid gym (and if you’re new to the game and not in a local raid group chances are you don’t know your local ex-raid gyms) and you have to raid it in a specific time point in order to have a chance of getting a pass, as even doing that won’t guarantee it.

The more raids you do everywhere increases your chances too, as does being gold on the ex-raid gym.

But the process of figuring out the ex-raid gyms and when passes are going to drop so you know exactly when to raid in order to be considered is complex and usually figured out by a raid group rather than an individual.

Your best chance is to find and join your local raid group as they’ll likely have all the info you need for your area.

Thanks Doctor I’ll probably do the community day if I can convince DP that I’m up to something else as its his one day off this week
I don’t know that I understand the Ex Raids yet. I’ve done solo raids up to level 3 but I don’t quite get what the ex raids are about. I haven’t done any group raids yet. I’m lucky that I joined when I did so have a legendary without winning any raids and working towards my second. Is there a beginner’s guide to ex raids anywhere?
I have one solitary, shiny Swablu that popped up whilst I was sat at my desk in work. I’m overly proud of him

And I just caught my first Pikachu, turned up at my house 2 minutes ago

Just dipping my toe in here as I’ve been playing for a month or so (joined 08/03/18) and am still learning. I’m a little off level 27 and I think I joined at just the right time wth the quests coming in and all the good community days Niantic are putting out

I'm liking the more frequent Magikarp. I'm still on the search for a shiney, and I need to build my candy back up after using most of it for the Mew quest. :-) And of course I need to work on my big Magikarp medal as well.

Mankey and do duo would be very welcome round here. I’ve seen magikarp spawning in lots more places at the moment and I’ve caught a couple of dittos so think they must be increasing these for the quest.

Just for a Mankey in my house -
One more and can finally bloody evolve it at last!

Yes, I walked the only Doduo I ever saw 120km to get Dodrio!

I would take advantage, urgent. Hopefully the increased chance of the fish spawning will also help. Use those pinap berries!

You might get lucky with ghastly if you still need ghosts, too, though the one in my house at a minute past nine turned out to be my second bloody ditto of the day!

Have seen 2 doduo, so far. Was never this common even back in 2016!

I finally got Mew today Wouldn’t have taken so long if I hadn’t been working all hours recently.

87% too; not too shabby.

Wonder if I should swap my Wailmer to Magikarp ready for the next stage in the special challenge. Still at the ghost/ ditto stage. 0.5k magikarp will rack up quite quickly as I'm only on about 134 candies for them. I live too far from water!

In other news, at the end of a cul de sac close to a gym, a resident is getting stroppy with po goers parking up legally for 5 or so minutes. I'm innocent, I live within a 10 minute walk so nearly always use Shank's pony as driving is a fair bit further.

Yes, the reduced buddy distance is appreciated!

Eggzandbacon The event runs for a week, until 9pm on the 17th April.

Reduced buddy distance - thank god - I have a lavitar and it’s 5k usually! How long is this on for?

Double candies and buddy distance halved

The event has started

Hopefully Tauros will come out as that (and Mew) are the only ones I am missing from gen 1 otherwise I think it will be a boring week. Glad of double candies for transfer though.

The only good thing about Kanto week is the possibility of Tauros, as if that is released I will have Gen I completed.

Otherwise it’ll just be a week of seeing the same old Pokemon we all couldn’t wait to get rid of a year or so ago.

Re mons hanging around in gyms, I make the mistake of leaving two good ones at gyms at a National Trust property this week. It’s open 10 - 5 if no ones kicked them out by 5pm I know they are there for another day

Ooo excited about Kanto week! Maybe I will get an aerodactyl after all! Inspired by this thread I’ve jioned a local Facebook group for raids so we will see how that goes.

No hints about which shinies we can expect...

Shiny wobuffet!
