PokemonGo #14. Rhydon Time, Rhy-Rhy- Rhydon Time...

It could have been Absol ute beginners, but it wasn't.

Our new thread, fellow players. All are welcome.

Agreed. But even so it's a very heavy stat.

Well no, it’s not a statistic at all; it’s just anecdotal evidence.

If it were the case that shiny Lugia did have a 100% catch rate then that would be brilliant, but I can’t see that being likely.

I still only have one single solitary shiny shuppet. I’m sure it would like a shiny lugia friend. Not very likely though. I’m still waiting for a shiny magicarp!

I didn’t even get a shiny dratini on community day. I just got a parking ticket

Murinae I have caught hundreds of Shuppets (one has a permanent base outside my house!) but still no shiny one, yet the 25th Swablu I caught was shiny (Altaria is one of my favourite Pokemon ever though so I was quite happy with that).

Shiney in my house!

Eggzandbacon Nice! It looks suitably cold for this weather

The overwhelming consensus on the Silph Road reddit seems to be that it is a 100% catch rate for shiny lugia at the moment, which is a really nice bonus!

If it is then that would be fantastic

Caught my shiny Lugia First ball theory seems to be true. Missed out on weather boost by minutes but very happy

Congratulations Jaime! I did my first Lugia of this round before but no shinies in my group unfortunately

I caught a Lugia today. Did two raids but the first one did a runner. No shiny but happy to have it for the Dex

Got this, which is nice even if not shiny

I caught this today with the first ball and I’m rubbish at throwing so the 100% thing may well be true.

I did a few lugia raids today but didn’t manage to catch a shiny

Hooray! We have snow again and I managed to catch a snowy castform. Thought I'd missed my chance as I didn't get one last time.

How many people are you all needing for a Lugia raid? I've read 5-15 so quite a big variation & my local team is pretty small so not sure if it's even worth trying

We did it comfortably weatherboosted with 8, though all were into second set of pokemon.

If all were high ish levels with powered up pokemon 5 would be possible but I think 7/8 is more realistic.

Thanks Wartortle, on a good day then we might stand a chance, think the most we've managed to get together for a raid has been 8.

So far no shiny Lugia for me, and none have been higher than the 89% I have from last summer, but I’ll keep going

CrabbitArse It will depend on the levels of those in the group and whether they have good counters.

We did a Lugia comfortably with 7 level 35 or above accounts this morning; I think 6 would have been fine. It wasn't weather boosted though.

Rumours of a water event with new Pokemon

I can't open that link because I'm at work but I assume by 'new gen 3 water pokemon' they can only mean Clampearl and it's two evolutions(Huntail and Gorebyss)? There aren't any other unreleased gen 3 waters.

Perhaps we might get Relicanth here for the event period? Like they did with Kanaskhan.

Sorry, missed out the "g" there.

Is there a water legendary they could bring in as raid boss for it?
