Pokemon Go #19: Mewtoo Me Are Everything

I got my Tauros. Woo!

Then after 3pm I turned the game on and the ultra notification appeared- do both of you have to trigger it for it to appear?

dillite No; only one of you has to trigger it and it will appear for both (if the other player doesn’t have the game on at the time it is triggered, it will appear when they next log in).

It can be a bit tricky. You turn the next level of friends when it says 1 day, however if it says 1 day but the blue ring is around them, it will be the next day (tomorrow rather than today iyswim) as you’ve already interacted that day. If there is no blue ring and it says 1 day, if you or they open a gift or raid together the next friendship level will be triggered.

I have to say I haven't been paying attention to how it works and only over the last few pages have seen that you need an egg on for when you are going to go ultra.

You don’t need an egg on for going ultra; it’s just a lot of players like to have an egg on so they get 100,000 XP rather than 50,000 XP

I've seen a few people saying the notification has been delayed and so they've missed the XP boost within the egg time dillite. From both sides (sender and opener, though generally not both of one ultra!) Nobody seems to know the cause though.

what and boule it was weird, I had the egg on the game was on for full 30 min and nothing. Then after 3pm I turned the game on and the ultra notification appeared- do both of you have to trigger it for it to appear? I have to say I haven't been paying attention to how it works and only over the last few pages have seen that you need an egg on for when you are going to go ultra. Anyway, it's not the end of the world.

what as sils has said, my gifts appear to have the (,England, etc) locations rather than the actual place names- I thought maybe it's to hide player locations but it being a glitch makes sense.

Did any of you think that the Celebi challenge was easier than the Mew one? It felt like that to me.

@TallulahBetty same, I thought Celebi would take longer. Eagerly awaiting gen IV!

Ouryve I'm so sorry, I missed our Ultra friending on Wednesday (I'm PinkBlaise)- I was running a staff conference for two days and my head was not in the 'mons! Hopefully you might have got a gift from Manchester though!

That's odd "dillite" I haven't checked what I got but I didn't have an egg on anyway.

Didn't get many chikorita today due to a kids birthday party and traffic, got enough to evolve the Maganium though.

Anyone else feel a bit flat after completing Mew and Celebi? Feel like all I'm aiming for at the mo is getting the regionals (out of my control) and Mewtwo (which sounds like it could still be difficult for me).

Just got the grass and psychics to go and then Celebi is mine! Where's creepy Mr Mime when you need him eh?
That feels like it's gone a lot quicker than Mew which took me ages.

Ha ha, yes I did! Thanks SirNilsOlav

Thanks to all you lovely folk who have friended me - research task is done and we are well on our way to getting through the rest. We caught loads of chikoritas yesterday and lost count of the shiny ones there were so many-- DS has done his thing and evolved whatever needed to evolve lol.

One theory I've heard for some people getting generic place gifts is that a recent update changed the font size for the places, but coded it badly so depending on screen resolution some people only see the latter bits, ie "England, United Kingdom" rather than "London, England, United Kingdom."

I saw a few screenshots that seem to include the first comma (, England etc) so I think there is possibly truth in that.

I think you mean dillite not me, Whattodo :)

Boule we have gone ultra. I had a lucky egg on before opening the gift but didn't get 100k xp? Or was the egg for some other purpose?

SirNilsOlav If you don’t think you got 100,000 XP one of two things has happened: either the notification just didn’t pop up and you did get it you just haven’t realised, or you turned ultra before you put the lucky egg on.

When did all gifts become as from England instead of the specific place they were sent from?

All my eggs are from specific locations; not generic ones.

I managed to get three shinies back to back (as in consecutive clicks on chikorita, no shiny checking in between) so the RNG was definitely with me yesterday.

I didn't catch any shinies yesterday, but was only able to play for apx an hour and caught apx 70 chicoritas.
On a good note though I finally completed Gen 1, so i have all the kanto pokes. I'd been missing Kangastan (got tauros in the US and have hatched 4 more!) I must have hatched apx 25 special event eggs. Finally Got the kanga next egg after I actually bought some incubators (top tip there!)

I had a great day, lots of Chikorita obvs, one shiny high enough to evolve and lots of low ones, hatched Taurus and Kangashan from eggs, did six Mewtwo raids and caught 4 of them! So happy to finally get one, let alone 4! Now only need Farfetched for my Gen 1 dex to be completed.

Had lucky eggs one the whole time and got nearly all the way through level 35 too 😁

I got two shiny chikoritas this morning but didn't find any chikorita that were above 80% IV. I evolved my highest CP chikorita to get a meganium but I caught a lot of them altogether, it was a bit of a disappointment. In other news though I have all regionals, yay!

I know. A Mewtwo ran from me so no longer 100% catch rate for me.

I thought so

They’ve also, as I hoped, brought Mewtwo’s base catch rate down from 6% to 2% like other legendaries so it’s much harder to catch.

My local gym has become an ex raid gym shock I really hope it activates for Deoxys!

MonaChopsis It’s probably always been an ex-raid gym. It will only trigger a Deoxys raid if enough people raid at it in the specific time parameters (and you will only receive a pass if you are one of those people during that time).
