There's no-one quite like Yanma, I'm sure you will agree

Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless.

Caught a Moltres! Done two Moltres raids and a Lugia raid, caught 1 of each.

So now my legendary count is 3 Articunos, 2 Lugia and 1 Moltres

Got a Moltres! Went to London today and it was so good to be able to have a pop at them. We're rural ish and the numbers are never there to take them down. Had a go at Ligia but even with 14 of us we couldn't bring him down. The others crashed out early and didn't rejoin.

Such good fun though, plus I have over 700 poke balls!

Majority of you must have been low level and/or players who haven't used the right Pokemon with the right movesets.

We regularly take Lugia with 12 with over half the time left.

That's what it must have been.

They were wiped out early and it kept being left with just 3 of us.

We're in the position now where a few of the local players are out of revives and potions. It means when they faint out in raids they are either not coming back or they are returning with Team Weedle. If there's only a couple of them in a big team then it's fine, the rest can carry Team Weedle. It also means that when we've started a raid and taken some damage there's no quitting out to start again with latecomers.

I didn't see a firebird yesterday, there were two before 8.30 am and then after that nothing locally.

Revives and potions are an issue, this has stopped me playing in the past as I feel really guilty if I cannot revive a fainted 'mon.

Thought I had tons yesterday but ran through them very quickly.

I have few potions, but I have 468 revives so that's not an issue. You get so many revives from doing raids anyway.

If our party faints, we don't have time to potion/revive up anyway. We just go in with whatever it suggests for the last little bit.

Due to my few potions and many revives, I usually fight on half health with everything; never have a problem doing that.

Fight on half health

That's probably a good idea but I would feel soooooo mean.

That's probably a good idea but I would feel soooooo mean.

Mean? Why mean? I'm not being carried in the battle; I'm one of the major players. In fact I think everyone bar three in our group of 40 are over Level 30 (I'm 31).

Are people spending lots of real cash on premium raid passes? I had quite a stash of pokecoins but spent a lot over the double XP event on incubators so I only have about 400 at the moment. Most day I get my 50 coins from being in gyms but not every day.

PokemonGo I've bought two ultra boxes (after buying two lots of the £9.99 poke coins) because they're great value for money and an ideal way to get cheap raid passes.

I meant mean to my pokemon, sod the other players!

I haven't bought any passes, well one but that was with my winnings so not real money.

I've finally finished generation 1 apart from regionals and legendary.

Also hatched Togepi so now have all the babies

I still haven't done a raid. I don't think I'm organised enough. I tend to play when rushing from place to place.

Igneo how rural in Scotland are you? We usually head to Stirling to play and there is a big group of us on a fb group and we organise raids that way. Have you tried searching fb for your nearest town or set up your own page fb page?

Last night we all turned up for a raid and there was a guy just sitting waiting to see if anyone turned up for it. He didn't know about the fb page, just turned up and hoped others would too. Might be worth a shot for you doing the same.

smashie I'm just outside Oban. Even Fort William is almost an hour drive away. Stirling close to 2 hours (depending on the number of tourists/trucks/campervans on the road), Glasgow 2 hours (3 by train). O2 claims that they are bringing 4G to Oban in the next couple of weeks which would change things for me. At the moment I have 4G with O2 where I live and where I work just outside Oban and even on the ferry to Mull recently but not in town. I couldn't find a FB group but I might try set one up once I can access the gyms in Oban where there are more players.

Just hatched Miltank. After months of egg shite I've been lucky lately. Not many left to catch em all now

Did a second moltres raid and didnt catch it.

This must be the fastest Gym kick out ever! I just had enough time to get lunch then my phone buzzed.

Lunch was a steamed pudding with custard.

My poor Omastar must be devastated, the poor chap. I laughed so much! :o

I can beat that DoctorTwo dropped this in as a passenger through Bham city centre, gym must've been under attack as it was out 5 mins later 😂

This must be the fastest Gym kick out ever!

Nope! I've watched and waited while people take gyms, as soon as they've fucked off I've taken it from them

Got another Moltres and another Lugia today! So now 3 Lugia, 3 Articunos and 2 Moltres!

Are you golden razzberrying each and every time it jumps out of the ball? And what types of throws are you doing?

Yes golden razzy every time and nice or great throws

What about curve balls? As per the chart I've posted a couple of times on the thread so far, they dramatically increase your catch rate.

I cant really do those accurately without missing entirely.

I met one guy on raid who hasnt caught anything yet.

I have one articuno.

Me neither! And I don't want to even chance it on a legendary with a limit on balls. I guess I've just been lucky with all mine.

I met one guy on raid who hasnt caught anything yet.

Yes, we have one guy in our group who has done 25+ raids and not caught a single legendary!

At least you got an Articuno, since they're gone now and I very much doubt will ever come back.

Still got till Monday for Moltres and end of this run of Legendaries for Lugia (as per PokeHistory I explained yesterday)

I haven't had a chance to do any Moltres raids yet, but I did get my first (and 2nd, 3rd and 4th) Girafarig today. And I hatched a nice Sudowoodo with double rock, which will be handy when I find a Moltres raid to crash.
