I caught a shiny Klink (from a raid) and a Meditite in the wild

PanamaPattie · 26/07/2020 22:10

I caught many shinies over the weekend. I thought they were everywhere. I stopped after a while as I’m sure I’ve lost the fingerprint on my Pokemon finger.

I'll add your son in a minute, @GrumpyMug2 - tell him to look for a friend request from Debstonmon2. I've had a blast this weekend, I really hope that they will do another virtual event like this. I'm about to log back in and see if I get any raid invites from the US!

That Carvanha is beautiful @ignatiusjreilly I only got a couple of shinies. Shiny Squirtle doesn't look much different to the regular one mind...

I'm exhausted but really enjoyed myself the whole weekend (glitches aside)

Apologies to those of you who invited me to raids today, I either just missed out due to doing Rocket Balloons, had a glitch so couldn't get in or (by the end of the day) ran out of passes.

I got a cracking shiny haul though, 38 in total over the 2 days, including an Unown in the last hour today Grin

ignatiusjreilly · 26/07/2020 21:15

I got the shiny Alolan Exeggutor plus this Carvanha.

I'm pleased to report that DS got 3 legendaries today, after his disappointment yesterday. Neither of us could catch a Dialga though, despite 3 successful battles each. Very envious of those who got it!

I only got a shiny Charmander today, I'll evolve it all the way when I have a lucky egg and do an evolution session.

I did manage to join a local raid and got a 3* Palkia (sorry I couldn't invite anyone, it wouldn't let me!)

I didn't get Giovanni though

Hi all please may you add my DS as a friend 302391810046? He would be very happy!

HighBrows · 26/07/2020 20:58

Oh and this one

Will you post a pic of your shines, I didn't get many at all.

That was brilliant fun. Clearly I need some local raid buddies as that only worked a few times for me, but we had a great time. I'm beyond chuffed that my Articuno and Mewtwo on one account are hundos! Got some lovely shinies too, particular favourites are Snover and Zangoose. So pretty!

Deannaamy · 26/07/2020 19:48

Anyone want to do a Dialga raid? There's 15 minutes left

netflixismysidehustle · 26/07/2020 19:19

Sorry that I misunderstood the NYC thing..

Cupidity · 26/07/2020 19:16

Awwww. I was all excited for a few minutes Wink

bellabelly · 26/07/2020 18:51

I'm pretty sure I read that you can't get the NYC thing from hatching if you are outside NYC...

Cupidity · 26/07/2020 18:43

I've just checked and I've got 2 NYC friends. So will hopefully manage to keep them for the next 3 weeks.

Cupidity · 26/07/2020 18:42

I didn't buy a ticket, but I've managed to catch some legendaries in various raids and today I got a shiny magicarp so I'm happy.

The incense has been great for me too.
I'm having dinner soon then will have one last go at that shiny Gible or Tangela.

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 26/07/2020 18:14

I've caught 3 shinys today all new to me as well so I'm very happy. Plus got my first lucky trade so its been a good day, once I worked out that it was my morning dog walk to collect balls that stopped me from getting the rocket raider - you don't get the components when your bag is full. Lesson learnt but a waste of an hour. Got incense on and hoping for one more shiny before 8pm

netflixismysidehustle · 26/07/2020 16:55

An NYC regional during a pandemic is nuts though

netflixismysidehustle · 26/07/2020 16:50

They do it for egg events

BaronessBomburst · 26/07/2020 16:49

I didn't think regionals could be sent in eggs? Or have they added that?

netflixismysidehustle · 26/07/2020 16:49

Whoever invited me to the raid- if you get more people I will try and help

netflixismysidehustle · 26/07/2020 16:45

Don't forget to make friends with people living in NYC for the Week 3 event. Bouffalant is a NYC regional in 7k eggs during week 3 event

HighBrows · 26/07/2020 16:40

@SoulofanAggron I just battle the grunts to clear them to make room for the leaders to cine, then I put on my super finder and Giovanni came.
