Pokemon Go #17: Mankey Gone To Heaven

Congrats!!

I got this beauty the other day, so happy :)

I thought we were getting another set?

Not so much fun now I have finished the levels. Hopefully a new challenge or research thing will spark it up again. Any rumours of more levels?

AAAAAAAAAA

Ah yes, the famous gruyère Pokémon

Evolved the wrong bloody IV and got this..

I've been lurking on these threads for ages but never posted.
None of my real life friends play so i added some friends from codes posted here and one is from my hometown. I've not been back for ages but it makes me smile every time I get a gift.
My trainer initials are TF and my best pokemon friend is a type of cheese waves

Managed to grab this little cutie. 94iv. Very happy. As was Dd who raided with me and picked herself up one too. Only the second time I've had other people raid at the same time other than dd. First was when the raid task was up on special mew research.

Did two Registeel raids next to each other - didn't get either

Thankyou, Koffing

Mine all say "Town Name church" etc too.

I was just thinking that about my gift too pick, a large amount of them include the name of where I live.

Personally, I'm not too worried about people triangulating my home address from the limited Pokéstop info on gifts. I find MN can be a bit rabid about the whole anonymity thing, especially when it's easy enough to change usernames at the drop of a hat.

Anyway - today's focus is on trying to get a Tyranitar (which I'm still sadly lacking) and Marowak from raids. Here's hoping it happens 😎

Here’s what’s in the new update!

• You can now give friends Nicknames
• You can now sort friends by Name, Nickname, Friendship Level & Pending Gift
• You now receive 200 XP for sending a gift
• You can now delete specific gifts from the item menu
• You can now see the detailed location of gifts you receive from friends
• There is no longer a red dot indicating that you have unopened gifts
• The friend list no longer always opens when you have an unopened gift (Journal now opens every time)
• You can now see more than 6 raids on the nearby
• The Raid nearby list now shows remaining time on an in-progress raid
• When there is a singular raid on the nearby the icon is now centered
• You can now search for traded Pokemon with the keyword "traded"
• FIXED You can now encounter your quest reward pokemon after completing a quest
• FIXED The go-to-raid indicator no longer covers the countdown timer
• A mostly unknown "Lucky Pokemon" framework now exists in the Pokedex - rumored to be pokemon you dont need stardust to power up

I am most excited about nearby raids being increased (six was too few), friendship sorting and lucky Pokémon

I have also bolded one that may be relevant to members in this group, about the detailed location of gifts.

I find I don't really know what to do with many of the reward pokemon as their IVs are decent, but their levels so low to be worth powering up.

JynxaSmoochum If it’s a legendary you’re not likely to obtain any other way and its IV is 90%+, I would power it up, but only one (ie. highest 90% + Zapdos, highest 90% + Moltres etc.). I would only make this exception for 90%+ Legendaries you know you won’t get elsewhere.

I'm not doing well out of these raid events. DS is in an activity in the mornings so I miss out on the local group sweeping the area as they've moved on by the time I'm free. So no new Zapdos or the previous one for me .

It took a while to get into the group raids and the way they were organised (last summer it was by overwhelming town-wide chats and I left before they splintered into localised and specislist sub-goups then got into them in the autumn/winter. I've just got a few L15 Zapdos from the field task rewards.

I find I don't really know what to do with many of the reward pokemon as their IVs are decent, but their levels so low to be worth powering up.

@cottonwool125 thank you!!!!

Ohbollocks JTA149217?

Guys, if anyone could tell me my trainer name I'd be thrilled! I've locked myself out (new phone) and can't remember it. It starts with JTA but I don't know the sequence of numbers!!!!

Thanks OrianaBanana!

What time does it finish?

NicoAndTheNiners Zapdos day was 10am - 1pm, same as all the community days

I didn't play for nearly a year and only recently started again. Today I joined about 30 people from a FB group for Zapdos days - my first raids ever and I hadn't a clue what to do. Spent my first ever real money on raid passes after the freebies ran out. It was fun although the big group quickly split into smaller ones.

I would say if you don't know anyone, when there's an event like this you can pretty much join up with any bunch of strangers in a big town or city - Leeds was crawling with them!

Congrats Wailmer!

I got two alolan vulpixes while walking too, I will evolve one

What time does it finish?
