Pokemon Go #19: Mewtoo Me Are Everything

hi, please could I make a request for friends?
Code: 3952 9871 8865 many thanks! I always send gifts :-)

I won my first raid today, but couldn't catch/keep the kirlia after. I am disappointed!

*as many Pokemon as I can, not just shinies

I do try and catch as many as I can - I have only ever come across the two shinies that I have caught (a Kabuto and a Geodude). I will keep hunting.

Yeah, shinies are arbitrary. On Dratini day I got one shiny: Swablu. Who is a lovely yellow. On Charmander day I got nowt. My friends, in the main, got loads.

I'm not fussed, I can trade!

Thanks. Sounds like I’m just looking in the wrong places.

Belzzjpn No, shinies are nothing to do with location.

They’re completely random. If you want shinies outside of community days (where they’re easy to find) the only thing you can do to increase your chances is to click on every single Pokemon that has a shiny form in the hope of it being shiny.

You don’t have to catch it, as you can see straight away if it’s shiny or not, you just have to click on it.

I’ve attached an infographic of all the current in game shinies

I have 68 shinies, of which 25 are non-event shinies.

@MonaChopis, sorry, going to have to open your gift as I need to put a lucky egg on for evolving 10 water pokemon field quests. If you catch this in time put an egg on when you next open the game.

Thanks. Sounds like I’m just looking in the wrong places.

I got most of my Shinies on Community days.

Head to wherever the popular place is for players to congregate locally on community day, and if it's anything like my city, you'd be hard pressed not to catch a few shinies.

Hang on, I got an ex raid pass last week for Tuesday and now another one? for a week on Tuesday?

I've been playing just under six months and have five non-event shinies.

Silke106, we are due to become ultra friends when I open your gift, if it’s ok with you, I’ll do it tomorrow (Monday) when I crack a lucky egg just after 8.30pm. Binky9999 and Wildbilly, we are also due to become ultra friends, and I think you both have gifts of mine - if you could wait until 8.30pm, that would be a bonus, but understand if you can’t.

Do other people come across shiny Pokemon very often? I have two, but judging by my local fb group there are a lot more out there!

Yes! Volbeat everywhere here. My new EX Raid pass has put me in a better mood though.

Is anyone else seeing millions of volbeat? It's not like they are psychic and whilst they've never been rare they are EVERYWHERE here. I was wondering if it might mean they are about to swap over with illumise but that's probably over optimistic.

I got a couple of illumise when I was in CAnada this summer. Transferred one earlier this week as I mistook it for a volbeat 🙄 whilst tidying up as box was full. Not the first time I’ve done that either!

I'm knitting. Aplologies for pissing anyone off but I keep forgetting to check the thread. We're overseas at the moment so nice long distance eggs for people, and I've seen the shadow of Illumise so I'm hopeful of adding one to the dex this week.

@HakunaRattatas I did, thanks. got the “3 best friends” medal too.

I have more than one of each regional thankfully - I usually hatch only Trapinches and Wailmer from eggs! I used all my incubators so only have my unlimited one.

I’ll be in London for work the first week of November if anyone needs a regional traded!

Egg mourning ness.

I added the keit

I'm 50% German so am qualified.

Eitrauerhaftigkeit.

Hakuna I'm sure there must be a German word for the special type of disappointment one feels when almost every Poké-egg hatches.

Or if anyone ever visits a popular magical film studio too!

I got one Mime, 2 kanga, 1 Tauros and lots of alohans. Still got 4 to hatch.
If anyone needs a kanga or farfetchd and is anywhere near London then I'm happy to trade you one.

Yuck. Hear not here. I'm not illiterate I promise

TakeAChansey I opened your gift so we are now best friends. Hope you get / got the points. Still love to here from anyone else on my list earlier in the thread so I can make sure you get the 200k.

I now have only two eggs left to get a kanga. I don't fancy my chances. I have no idea how many eggs I hatched during the event but it was a lot so I'm a bit gutted. I should have kept track but I know I got two tauros, six far fetched and eleventy million mr mimes. Not to mention tedious alolans. This game hates me.

Absolutely my fault for not checking here tumpymummy, I'm a bit rubbish at admin

I post and then forget completely and I'm rubbish at remembering who I've sent gifts to.

Apologies trash I was obviously too excited! I will be sure to give more notice before we go 'best'.
