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

[DoctorTwo]

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

Our new thread, fellow players. All are welcome.

I had to leave early today as I had an “appointment” at 5

The first raid was on a Sunday

Our ex-raid (a few months ago) was a Sunday also, but I was working so I gave it to a friend in our Pokemon group, as did a few others.

Just remembered this...I found out that you can feed your fellow gym holders' pets to boost their CPs.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires Yep, it’s been possible for a long time now

However, it’s not really worth it; more a waste of berries. Motivation goes down relatively quickly anyway and you can only use ten at a time, so if someone is determined to kick them out it will just be a waste. It’s a tactic that worked well in the old gym system, but not so much in the new one.

What is a good trick though is feeding nanab berries (because they are rarely ever used anyway) to a Pokemon in a gym that you want more candies for, because there’s a small chance that you’ll get a candy by spamming that Pokemon with berries.

So when I was desperate for Oddish candy I chucked an Oddish in a gym and spammed it with ten nanabs in the hope of getting a candy.

It also helps you get tomsilver/gold
On the gym and therefore have more items each time when you spin and more chance of getting an ex raid pass for that gum

Gym not gum!

Caught about 5 or 6 Mudkips this morning, most of them with Pinap berries, which was a lovely boost of candy. However, this happened too which was a bit gutting! Ran on the first ball

@Bimblesalong The EX Raid time reflects the time of your original raid. So if a 6pm raid triggers an EX Raid pass then the EX Raid will be at 6pm.

Where are you getting this information from? Because I really don’t think that’s correct.

When we had our ex-raid, it was at the same time as many others all over the country. It also included people who had raided at that gym over a certain period, not just those who turned up to one particular raid.

The Raid I did yesterday was a couple be hours later than the ones I did in the few weeks before. I don't think I did any raids, group or solo on that time slot.

I've had a go at a Groudon today. He got away, but it was still good to get the items. I've already got one so wasn't too gutted.

I did two big (over 20 people so had to split into two groups) groudon raids today. One at a previous ex pass raid gym in the park. Hopefully I’ll get a pass this time (didn’t get one there last time though a few of the others did)

I have 8 groudons. I’m a bit bored
of them now and will be glad when it changes

Pokemon Go Community Day announcement.

Kyogre has just been announced as the new legendary raid boss.

I did my first Kyrogue raid this morning, caught it and it’s 88%!

Cloudy day

Amusing frankenspawn, though.

Caught my first kyogre today. 92 iv. Gosh they’re hard work to bring down. The first group of us that tried had a 2/20 success rate. Fortunately I caught mine on the next raid.

Also evolved bob Marley, the wailord. He’s not as sweet and pretty as a Wailmer tho. Can’t wait to pop him in a gym.

The main weather here is cloudy. Getting more Machop than pidgey lately. It's funny that when gen 1 was the only one out it was one I had to walk as now I've got heaps

Very, true, Kadabra. There were loads of abra yesterday!

Re the ex raidpass, my working hours are irregular, so even if it is the same day same time, I might be in work. Ah well!

I’d prefer the legendary birds to come back so I can fill the gaps.

What does a star piece do?

Star Piece gives you 50% extra stardust for 30 minutes.

Yesterday 11 of us did 2 tier 5 raids immediately after each other, Groudon, 4 of us caught it (not me unfortunately), then up the road to take on Kyogre. My word, that thing's brutal! 8 of us caught it, including me. :o Mine is rated at 96%, which I'm more than happy with.

I've got another ex raid pass for next week

I've got an ex raid pass for next week too, my first one! And so has DD, she's only level 24 so we'll need lots of help fortunately we've already got a local whatsapp group set up and 15 or so people have joined already.

Oh and ex raid times definitely don't correlate with the raid times that triggered them. The only raids DD and I did at the ex raid location were 2.30 and 12.30, ex raid starts at 3.30.
