New thread. No routes where I am. We're going to be at Pokémon Go Fest on 6 August. V excited.

Anyone else getting more Hundos this recently?

I've hatched 2 this week.

Yes, I think I have one remote raid pass left. So far, no one is raiding. Come on you guys! Wink

Ooh, that's good! Although I haven't managed to earn enough coins to restock my remote passes yet, so it'll be a while until I make use of it! 😄

Looks like the friends at a raid feature is back 🙂

I've lost track of how many I've hatched now, but still only got 1 of the 4 required. Did hatch a 4* zigzagoon, which normally I'd be really pleased about, but as that was the only one I already had for the challenge I was slightly miffed to get another, even a perfect one! 🤣

That is one cracking photo, well done @gillybean2

I hatched 22 eggs before I got a corsola on the 23rd. I still don't have a slowpoke. (I've been away on a course for a week so knew I wouldn't get the mileage but fortunately there was wicked gps drift in the hotel room)

That's brilliant @gillybean2

Even showed my non-Pokemon loving DH and he thought it was amazing.

@gillybean2 that is an amazing shot. I love it 😀

Perfect shot!

So far I have hatched 3 of the 7k eggs with the right Pokémon in and only got 1 of the 4 in the hatch challenge.

Last time there was a hatch challenge it took me 5 eggs to do the 4 required pokemon, but they didn't reduce the 7k distance and I didn't have a full grasp of the mechanics, so I kept getting eggs from pokestops and having to get them out the way to get another one from a gift.

Jury is still out which one I will end up walking further to complete...

That is amazing @gillybean2

Malamar · 28/11/2024 07:05

Love that @gillybean2

Had to take this photo on our way home from our recent short break. Haven’t quite figured it out but managed this with the help of ds.

So I noticed it when I was going through my friend list sending gifts. This friend I couldn't send a gift or even open one, it said they were in a raid. I just clicked on it and the next thing I'm whisked off to the screen you see when you're going into a raid with the "join" button at the bottom. Basically exactly the same as if someone invites you and you click on the invite to see the raid. Then if you have a remote pass you can join I guess but I didn't have a spare at the time and it was about to start.

teafor1 · 26/11/2024 16:20

It would show in your friend list if anyone was waiting in a lobby waiting for a raid and you could click on their name and join the raid with a remote raid pass. It was really easy. Expensive! But easy.

How did it work exactly?

OP posts:
Tarkan · 26/11/2024 13:22

I liked it too. I have a random friend abroad and I nearly randomly joined a raid they're in, just didn't get a raid pass in time but I liked that I didn't need an invite if I was wanting to raid.

It went so fast I didn't quite notice it. And I was curious but didn't have the time to investigate exactly.

I’m disappointed that the ‘at a raid’ friendship status was only temporary. I really liked it! Hopefully they bring it back soon.

AlmostLegendary · 23/11/2024 10:42

I'm liking go raid party, finally got a palkia!.Need to work out how to host now so I can do it without burning through remote passes quite so quickly!

teafor1 · 20/11/2024 07:05

@gillybean2 i tried ‘go road party’ and it was very quick! Thanks

teafor1 · 20/11/2024 06:43

@gillybean2 i am finding it takes a while to find a group. Timing is everything. I hosted for the first time yesterday and it was quick enough in the evening with the new raid bosses available but it’s slow most of the time. Aren’t other third party apps not allowed? I’ll have a look at the one you recommend. I was noticing the proximity to me aspect.

btw I got a shiny Dialga yesterday. I’m very pleased!

gillybean2 · 20/11/2024 04:00

@Malamar if you like to walk without looking at your phone and have plenty of stops on your route then a go plus+ might be an option. They are pricey but it lets you spin stops and catch Pokemon without looking at your phone. There are cheaper unofficial options available too (gotcha) but niantic states you can be banned for using unofficial accessories.

As others have said, high cp Pokémon aren’t generally the ones to keep. You need to be looking at their stats and working on powering up your 3. 4 are 100% so if you have any if those try to max them out. You tend to get better stats if you hatch or raid for the Pokemon. Good luck

AlmostLegendary · 18/11/2024 15:47

If anyone is doing a dialga or palkia raid I have remote passes at the mo, so please invite me along (thecrazyonesmum).

I started off just walking a round catching things, but have got into raids and go battle as time has gone on. I quite like that to get to level 50 you have to do a bit of everything. I need more local people to trade with, so will struggle with 50 lucky trades, but most of the other challenges are doable, even if some will be tricky!

Campfire takes way too long to find a group and it only seems to group people from your area. I use the ‘go raid party’ app. Other similar apps are available.

@Knotaknitter I can’t stop singing Vienna now, thanks for the earworm!
