What do people mean when they talke about gen 4 ‘starters’ pleas?

Efferlunt In the original Pokemon games, Starter Pokemon are the three Pokemon you get to choose from when you first start a Pokemon game (one grass, one water, one fire).

So for Red and Blue (Gen I) you could choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle as your first Pokemon to start the game off with.

For Gold and Silver (Gen II) the starters were between Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile and for Ruby and Sapphire (Gen III) the starters were Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip.

Gen IV derives from Diamond and Pearl and when starting the game you get a choice between Piplup, Chimchar and Turtwig; hence they are the Gen IV starters Smile

Ach missed community day!

I'm happy with this for a shiny. My shinies are usually utterly pants.

I don't like Kricketot, oh no, I love it, yeah
PickAChew · 21/10/2018 20:00

My pants shiny. It has either zero attack or defense. It's beautiful, all the same.

I was at a wedding today so didn’t manage the full three hours like I usually hope for, but I got 8 shinies so I was happy with that Smile

Are metagross actually any good?

dillite Yes! Metagross is Gen III’s Tyrannitar; it’s an incredibly strong Pokemon with Meteor Mash.

Beldum has been a coveted one to watch Pokemon since Gen III came out.

MonaChopsis · 21/10/2018 19:38

I caught loads and loads (went from less than 100 candies to over 1000!) but didn't catch any with IV in the 90s! Evolved 5 anyway (four high level 70s, one solitary mid level 80s) and a fairly average shiny. Happy to have them, but gutted I couldn't find anything high IV at all!

However did 4 Mewtwo raids, maintaining my 50% catch rate, and wandered past an Absol raid on the way home so got one of those too!

CookieSwirlC · 21/10/2018 18:45

My first ever shinies caught earlier. Just over 2000 Pokemon caught in total and my first ever shinies today from the first community day I got out to do.

LBOCS2 · 21/10/2018 18:34

I got out for the last hour of the event but had managed to catch two (rubbish) shinies from home first. 4 shiny in total, nothing amazing IVwise but enough to evolve a few.

I quite enjoyed that. I caught 3 shinies, none of which is over 70%. None of the other Beldum I caught were any good either, so they got minced. I evolved my best one (87%), and my best shiny (69%) to Metagross.

Metagross with meteor mash are very good. It's similar to frenzy plant in the way it works.

PickAChew · 21/10/2018 16:06

I got 3 shinies and they're all utterly crap.

I already had a couple of lucky beldum waiting to evolve, though. DS1 and I traded our high cp but crap catches with each other in hope of something better. Even if they didn't end up useful, it meant that we squeezed an extra candy out of getting rid of each one.

MuddlingMackem · 21/10/2018 15:49

6 shinies from today, so I got the full set of evolutions. And managed to evolve 3 event Metagross, including a shiny one. Not a bad morning. :)

TrentBridge · 21/10/2018 15:22

Thank you so much Baroness and all the other people who I'm now friends with! I've run out of gifts now but will send more as soon as I get any more. Thanks again!

WitchSharkadder · 21/10/2018 15:16

I did quite well out of community day, 8 shinies (not great IVs though) and 2 metagross over 95%. Also finally managed to get my hands on an Alolan Marowak, wanted one for ages but never seen a raid when other players are around.

tumpymummy · 21/10/2018 15:07

Timing of community days never works well for me. Wish they would do them in the afternoon. Only managed to play for apx 1 hour total. No shinies.

Pretendingtobe · 21/10/2018 14:58

Shinx is so cute!
I had rubbish luck today. 1 shiny, and terrible IVs on the others. Still - I now have 6 Metagross!

I happened to drive past a MewTwo raid earlier in the week. They were just going into the lobby, so I asked if they were ok with me jumping in.
All men, and quote'Sure, it's a good opportunity to raid with the big guns'.
Poor me at level 40, with optimal attackers! I wanted to be aggressive, but just threw in my best MewTwo and T'Tars. They soon STFU!

CarcerDun · 21/10/2018 14:36

*Metagross... oops

CarcerDun · 21/10/2018 14:36

Shiny Megagros

BaronessBomburst · 21/10/2018 14:24

@TrentBridge DS has just added you and I will later. We're S6 and G***e!
I always have more gifts than friends. DS less so.

dillite · 21/10/2018 14:23

Well, we did 3 mewtwo raids today and caught 0. I kid you not, DD cried for an hour about never being able to get a mewtwo now.

We also caught more than 100 beldum, 6 of them shiny. Only 2 were above 95IV both of which were evolved. I also evolved one of the shiny ones just because why not.

I leveled up to 37. 2.5 million xp till 28.......... That's a lot of xp......

JuniLoolaPalooza · 21/10/2018 14:16

Totally missing out on community day due to domestic drudgery...enjoying hearing about your catches tho!

GhoulishGremlins · 21/10/2018 14:08

6 shinies, one 84% Halloween Smile

And have a 10km egg that's 0.5/2.5 Halloween Grin

SirNilsOlav · 21/10/2018 13:35

Managed to get 3 shiny beldum despite being at work for the whole of community day. Really pleased!

anitagreen · 21/10/2018 10:52
