PokemonGo #15. We're gonna rock down to Electrike Avenue

[DoctorTwo]

Here we go with a shiny new thread.

Well done Whattodo. I’ve just started down the long road of level 39. Think it will take me a while to get to forty!!

I am also very jealous of your shiny wailmer!

Still no ditto!!!

I just can’t do an excellent curveball no matter how hard I try!

Me neither Staying

Need a moan! Fed up with my pokemon getting kicked out of gyms in a park that is closed at this time of night. Most probably spoofers, grr!

I thought they’d really cracked down on spooofers now? It’s a pain I agree.

I’ve had a good day first latios and...

I've seen videos (fairly recent ones at that) on YouTube where they openly boast about spoofing. One was talking about the upcoming weather dependent evolutions of eevee in gen 4 and said that glaceon wouldn't be a problem for him despite not living anywhere remotely snowy. Just why bother playing if there's no challenge?
I have been trying to follow the discord group for my area and there are mentions of having to use private groups for raids to avoid 'interlopers' from afar. Think to avoid dilution of ex raid passes? So I still think spoofing is a problem.

Pretty wailmer btw efferlunt!

Murinae Thanks! And congrats on your shiny Wailmer too, Efferlunt!

Wailmer is the excellent curve ball pokie of the week.

Our local spoofers keep popping back up.

Was surprised, though, when I walked into a Karp raid, honking ds1 was already in. Mivrd into the lobby and it was a red guy. N the next 90 seconds he left and reappeared asca yellow guy with a similar name!

There are guys here with multiple accounts Pick. In the raids I did yesterday one guy was doing the raid with three accounts - was fighting with two of them using little finger and tumb.

My Snorlax was kicked out of the gym at 11:58 last night. Which was actually good as I’d had no coins that day but does seem to happen a lot.

I got kicked out a minute after midnight, the other day. Annoying because that meant I'd skipped a whole day's coins.

'iheart' and 'staying' I know I'm going to struggle with the curveball one too. I didn't even know a curveball was a thing until this challenge! I'm still on trying to do 10 raids - 4 more to go. Need to crack on before they change the reward from Mew to something else.

I found something on YouTube today called the ‘l throw’ it seems to make curveballs easier but it will be a long time before I manage and excellent one! I play when I’m rushing around or sat breastfeeding so I always play one handed and on the move or under a baby so I don’t have time to perfect any technique.

After taking an age to get a Ditto all the ghosts have dissapeared due to the event. Only need 2 more. Usually have them in my house.
Loving the event though. Got lots of new ones to evolve

Finally managed my 10th raid today.
Now to try and perfect my Excellent curve while ploughing through the 50 catches using a berry. Could be some time....

I've struggled on raids this week. The most accessible gym is having a pre-ex raid hiatus, and there just don't seem to be many 1 or 2 stars and most raids have been at awkward times. There's not much enthusiasm for Latias now (still haven't got it, it kept escaping). The other morning there were two 5* raids at about 8:30 at neighbouring gyms which was a right waste as everyone is busy around then. I've never known the chats be so quiet other than a bit of shiny envy
One left to go for the research...

GreenShadow make the most of the increased Wailmer spawns at the moment- the circle is huge and makes it a lot easier to throw excellent curveballs

Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo I got my excellent curve ball on an ariodas!!!!

Soooooooooooo happy!!!!

Finally have my excellent curveball on a wailmer with its massive target area!

Also got my excellent curve ball this morning (Cacnea) and quickly caught the remaining Pokemon with berry. I think this last Research group has actually been the quickest to complete by a long way .

So, overall this has been the best morning ever for Poke hunting. Within half an hour I caught my 2nd Latias (and at an Ex-Raid gym, so fingers crossed..), caught a 4th Moltres from the Field Challenges and then last but not least, my lovely little Mew.
Three Legendaries in 30 mins. Doubt I'll ever repeat that!

Congrats everyone!

then last but not least, my lovely little Mew.
Three Legendaries in 30 mins. Doubt I'll ever repeat that!

GreenShadow Mew isn’t a legendary Pokemon, it’s a Mythical Pokemon

Mew isn’t a legendary Pokemon, it’s a Mythical Pokemon

Opps. Shows how much I know

I didn’t even see what you needed for the 8th part of the quest I just had to claim the rewards!
