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.

Mrsmomo It's the best possible appraisal out of four that you can have as part of Team Mystic (blue).

The best is Wonder, then Caught Attention, Above Average and Not Likely (to make much headway).

Of course, to be more accurate on just how good the wonder Rhydon is you'd want to use PokeGenie, but it's a good start as to how good a Pokemon is

What team are you?

Team valor. So I guess my good ones would be amazing??
So we all know each other well enough to be sharing team affiliations? lol I've only known you guys for half a thread;)

I'm mystic :)

Today's rare spawn was almost as good as Ampharos yesterday

Wartortle you do realise you're now inclined to tell us all where you live?!

Congrats on the Typhlosion

The WiFi pop-up from a nearby shop is actually unintentionally covering a pretty big clue

I was lucky with this, left work late and grumpy and up it popped on my way home!

Mrsmomo Yes, the Pokemon you want to look out for are ones that amaze you first, then strong ones

I'm Team Mystic. I don't think it's a well guarded secret what team anyone is, is it?

wartortle Congrats again! Great spawns.

Is there an event on at the moment

Nikibabe not at the moment, but hopefully soon

NikiBabe There's the legendary dogs event; we have the chance to catch Entei until the 30th September.

Then for October we have the chance to catch either Raikou or Suicune, and for November we'll have the chance to catch whichever one wasn't in October

(Catching via raids though, not in the wild!)

I have an Entei and cant be arsed to.go and try for more.

NikiBabe I've got three and want a lot more; there's some in our group with 15 or 16!

Plus the more raids we do we have more of a chance to be invited to a Mewtwo raid

I know some in my group have that many too. I just got a bit bored but I should really try for some more. I missed out on Lugia as I wasn't active enough

We're on holiday and it's a gym!

Only problem is its full of dying mystic mons and I'm mystic. Some have been there ten days so hoping someone comes along to boot them out.

Oh well at least I can fill up my bag

I too have a bit of raid fatigue now it's still Entei, and noticing the same pattern within my local group.

Our group is a mixture of those who wanted the creature and those who want the points. There are people that I don't expect to see again until Entei is replaced but there are still enough people chasing levels to put a raid group together. It would be different if it was something that needed a big group to take down but at least with this one it doesn't need many.

It seems like the pika hat problem is resolved in this update

Yay! Won't bring back my poor Ash hat (which I keep accidentally typing as ass hat ) Pikachu but I can deal with having a Raichu and Pichu with it at least.

I'm team Mystic and my DD is Valor, it's actually pretty handy if I can't get into a gym, just have her knock one out and then wait until it lets me put mine in. I've done the same for her too.

Had another fairly rare spawn today, though not as good as the others. My city isn't normally that good for pokemon so this is a nice novelty!

Wartortle your rare spawn of the day now needs to be a daily feature on this thread

Today I hatched another Magby from a 5km egg and a fucking Skarmory from a 10km egg. I walked 10 km for that?!? FFS.

Now up to 92 Totodile candy and 85 Chikorita candy.

Woo hoo I hatched my second ever Tangela today. Makes a nice change from the usual 5k crap.

AIBU to have arranged a meet up with my pals tomorrow at the local golf club. (None of us play golf). Since I started using Discord and scanners the other week I've realised that the golf club is an amazing hot spot. It gets all the best Pokémon and it's a pokestop. 😂

I have no shame.

Wasted a gym pass on a gym with a bug earlier. I'd gone out of my way to try and get an exeggcutor because it was managable on my own, and 4 times I'd had to wait the two minutes to get into the raid for it to freeze out as the raid started before conceding it was time to give up. I've tried resetting my time settings twice now. There's no point in even thinking about joining up with a bunch of random people across town to try to take on a legendary if it'll just freeze out like that.

Tomorrow, I need to finish a restock of red balls and clear space ready for another 10 mile run

Touch wood I've had no problems on raids since I started switching my phone off and on while I am on the way there. Restarting the game does nothing for me, restarting the phone seems to have fixed it.

Last raid of the day yesterday was at a pub. We had lemonade and a chat in the sunshine, the baby was passed about for a cuddle and it was all very civilised.

That sounds a pain about the raid glitches.
I'm off for a foreign city break for a couple of days. Looking on gym hunter I can see our accommodation is on a gym 😁😁😁

I managed to raid a quilava after resetting the phone earlier.

Am now stocked up on red balls ready for my run later. Just started a 10k as I'll run that and hatch it in one go. Used some rare candies to drag my Flaaffy up to 70 candies.
