Yes, I know you have to have seen The Herbs in the early 70s to get the title, but meh.

Still no chuffing Mareep from a 2km egg, and a 10km hatched a fucking Sudowoodo. Harumph.

Maybe the size of town has an effect. A smaller town might be easier to group up in. I find the suburbs too quiet for building up bigger numbers needed for stronger raids. Getting into the centre takes time and parking charges rapidly build up (the same would apply for bus fare) and no safe cycling routes.

I've had a few good chats with a school mum from a different year group as we've crossed paths a few times.

Thanks to Draconius Go I now don't get to play Pokemon as dd only wants to catch the new creatures. But then the event is over and it's back to same old shit.

Belated congratulations to those of you that have completed your gen 1 dexs!

catchyjem · 04/11/2017 21:09

Ah, I’m now also addicted to dragonius go! I’m switching between the two games when I’m out as I can’t decide between them!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 04/11/2017 23:18

I won't be getting into Draconius Go.

I love Pokemon Go because it's a remnant of all the Pokemon games I played as a kid and grew up on, so I know all the Pokemon and how the game works; it has meaning to me, which Draconius Go doesn't.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/11/2017 08:38

Raid bosses have changed!

I'm very happy about Scyther as I've only ever seen the one, so I'll easily get Scizor now Smile

tumpymummy · 05/11/2017 10:04

I don't do the raids either. I'm a 'secret' player! No one except my family know I play. At the start I did a couple of raids but didn't catch anything. So I can't see the point of going to all the trouble of following Facebook groups, going in to town, and then not catching it anyway. I can see the social aspect is great for some people but my life is too busy already. I don't see enough of friends I have already, I don't need more. I've completed gen 1 and 2 now (except regionals and legendaries) so looking forward to when they release Gen 3. I've had a look at DragoniusGo. I like the fact that my house is a pillar of abundance but would prefer it if it were a pokestop!

dillite · 05/11/2017 10:57

Oh good, finally some new raid bosses. Although, saying that, I still need qui lava candy, so I hope it stays!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/11/2017 12:37

Three of those Level 1 raid bosses are exactly what I need. Although I could have done with a better Bayleaf before they changed over.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/11/2017 13:33

Scyther is the only good new raid boss, I think. I was really hoping for Oddish.

cottonwool125 · 05/11/2017 14:33

The three starter Pokemon as raid bosses will be really handy. It’s a shame we didn’t get more warning however- I’d have done as many level 1 raids as possible, as I’m still a long way off from Feraligatr and Meganium (got Typhlosion in the fire event).

Hatched 3 10KM eggs recently- Larvitar, Chansey and Porygon. I’m now on 110 Larvitar candies, which is pretty good seeing as I’ve never walked it! One more hatch should push me over the edge, and I can get Tyranitar. Unfortunately, both hatched after the double candy event Sad

eyebrowsonfleek · 05/11/2017 15:25

A Dragonite/Dragonair/Dratini boss raid would have my ideal.

I’ve done 4 Raikou raids and caught 0 😭

wartortle · 05/11/2017 15:54

I am thrilled that I'm now a raid boss Grin

My pokemon storage may not be so happy!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/11/2017 17:14

I have a couple of decent scythers. It's the evolutions of the starter Pokémon that are the big hole in my Dex. I feel like I've been walking bulbasaur for ages and I need about another 100 candy each for charmander and squirtle evolutions.

Rudedog · 05/11/2017 20:04

Just hatched an onix from a 5km egg, which is ace as that's my buddy at the moment. Now only 9 candies to go.....

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 05/11/2017 22:07

I blundered to a Machop nest today. I've collected over 50 candies Grin Grin Grin

Watch out Blissey!

KadabrasSpoon · 07/11/2017 18:41

I caught you today wartortle Grin

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 08/11/2017 12:43

There's another school mum often doing their pokestops/gyms at the same time as me. We're on different teams so we end up having polite agreements about which gyms we'll fight and sacrifice for coins Grin

This morning she quickly put a weakling in for some extra gym points so it wasn't too hard for me to take down (I'd got there first!) In return I suggested putting a good one in the next gym and left it untouched so she's got a chance of coins later.

WhiteHorseWilliam · 08/11/2017 18:04

OK, OK, I'm sorry and I won't do it again, but I know NOBODY who plays Draconius Go and I need to show off my first 10k hatch (the distance tracker is way better than PoGo, It seemed to hatch in about a third of the distance of a 10k Pokémon egg)

Dillite2 · 08/11/2017 20:32

Horse what a beauty! I am yet to get a 10k egg.

GreenShadow · 08/11/2017 20:59

Dillete and WhiteHorseWilliam and anyone else who plays or wants to play - I've just started a Draconius Go topic under Gaming so please come and join me over there.
I'm still very new to it and would welcome a chance to discuss and find out more.

You can find it here

DoctorTwo · 08/11/2017 20:59

I have noticed that Raikou raids happen less often than Suicune. In this town, anyway. There seem to be 2 vv early, around 0630, then maybe 1 at lunchtime and then 1 about 1700. Because I leave for work early and get back after 1800 I haven't yet raided Raikou.

I'm intrigued by Draconious go but I've spent so long on Pokemon that I dare not download it too or I'll never do much else Smile

loc · 08/11/2017 21:27

LOOK AT THIS!!!
How exciting, I'm enjoying DraconiusGo, again, I'm the only one playing in the neighbourhood and all "gyms" are empty up here, but HARRY POTTER?! I'm excited!

GreenShadow · 08/11/2017 21:30

Wow Loc. That is definitely something to look forward to. I just hope they note that not all players live in towns or cities - us rural gamers want to play too.

loc · 08/11/2017 21:52

When Gen3 comes in that will be me back into PoGo, not sure how I can have a life with all these games on the go at once!
