Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

[DoctorTwo]

Shiny new thread starts here.

We haven't seen one dog raid in my city so far, though the legendary birds are still about loc. There's been one dog raid in a neighbouring town but they seem very thin on the ground so far

Living in hope whattodo, living in hope!
Might get a chance at the birds before the my disappear, thanks wartortle.

wartortle There was an Entei raid at 7am this morning but we were all asleep so nobody made it! Haven't seen another yet, though.

There's an Entei raid at the bottom of my road right now but nobody is there.

Is there a problem with gyms at the moment? Had a rare spare half hour this afternoon so decided to sit at the gym in the sun to take down a gym. I got so many error and network error messages I had to give up. Only managed to knock two out, very frustrating!

Not that I'm aware of; I've taken a fair few gyms and done several raids today.

Tumpy I had that yesterday, I was going to clear out a totally unmotivated gym with team pidgey and got the first out before it started playing up. I've had this before, you take the defender down to nill health and it just sits there until the timer runs down. "Network error" spoils play. I had to give up and wander off.

The update is now available

Key points are the last ball glitch being fixed and being able to see whose in a raid battle before you spend your own pass.

tumpy mine constantly errors our at the moment especially when doing gyms. It's quite annoying.
Have installed the update but it's still glitchy

I caught a Lugia on the last ball (not a crit) yesterday so I think they've sneaked that into the update text cheekily when it was actually server side :)

Being able to see how many people are in a raid lobby pre-pass spending is a gift to spoofers, I can't see that it's much use to people physically there though.

It's something people have campaigned for since raids were introduced; it will be really helpful. We're going on holiday soon and don't know the local players, so to see if the other people hanging around on their phones are also raiding will be very handy.

Is it just me, or do the incubators look different?

You can also spin them around not for any benefit, just looks cool

cottonwool125 Yeah, they are different

Hatched three 5k eggs today, got a Kabuto, Houndour and Poliwag... DH's 10k egg hatched a Lapras. Jammy swine

I won a raid! On my own it might have been a magikarp with a low CP and took me 25 seconds

RudeDog Got to love a Magikarp raid! Makes me feel like a proper trainer

Got Entei, my fastest ever legendary (second raid).

Yeah, I suppose in unfamiliar places then the counter is good, normally I can spot the poke players and just ask but I can see it will help if you can't tell and don't want to ask :)

Here is the chart of top ivs for the dogs

wartortle Congrats!

Yeah, in my own area it's not needed as we know all the players, but while we're on holiday it'll be handy.

I think we'll have to wait until the end of next week for Entei

I was surprised I got it today! It was very easy to beat (13 of us did it with 210 seconds left) but quite hard to hit with the ball because it jumps a lot.

I only have one premium pass now so I'm trying to decide if I want to buy more item storage or instead save coins to buy some more passes. I may buy a coin pack to do both (I limit myself to the £4.99 pack per month)

Yeah, it's easy like Moltres was. My DH did it this morning with 8 and had half the time left, but of course it does depend on what level everyone is.

If you were all high level you could comfortably do it with 5.

I soloed two raids at the same gym today in about 4 hours. Crocanaw and Quilava, so both easy. Exeggcutor took them down, both in under 40 seconds. Now up to 61 Totodile candy, 31 of them walked, 3 from wild (only caught 1) and the rest from raids/ the crusher.

Well done on catching Entei @wartortle, I'm hoping to get one of the dogs as I got none of the birds, though I was within seconds of having the chan(sey)ce of chucking balls at Lugia.

I had two days working in London this week and hoped to get Kangaskhan on my break. Unfortunately, on Thursday I didn't get a break, and Friday there were none around in the bit of Camden I was in.

You used a grass Pokemon (Exeggecutor) against a fire Pokemon (Quilava)?

They're not available anymore. Kangaskhan was only in certain cities until the 21st August.

Well done wartortle! Had a great afternoon raiding with my bestie and the local group. It was lovely to help other people catch mon they hadn't got, and we both got an Entei and a Ttar :). It's good to be able to spin gyms with the pogo, and also to be able to have a bit of a clue about how many are in the gym - although it tended to vary depending on which phone/ carrier was being used to view it.

Not spotted the incubators, thanks for pointing it out, will go take a look :)
