Pokemon Go #16. Cast adrift on memory Blissey of you.

[DoctorTwo]

Anybody remember this? No? Just me then. I managed to raid and catch Latios yesterday.

New thread, all are welcome.

Humph. One in 22? I caught 77, and engaged about 10 more to check for shiny without catching (whilst passenger in car). Only one shiny, and that was lowest appraisal. I’ve made it a Ttar but wish I’d kept as Pupitar because thst’s the coolest. Also caught Kyogre, first legendary raid in my town that I’ve seen where enough people turned up.

I HATE Mr Mime.

I hate Zubats - hard to catch and not worth the candy. I was trying to catch them to get a Crobat then I caught a wild Crobat!

I hate Drowzee

Humph. One in 22?

ChangeyMcNameface 1/22 is an average. Some players will get many more (one guy in our group got 17, another 12, a couple of others 8), while others will get none at all (also had one person in our group not get any).

So it was never guaranteed that for every 22 Larvitar you caught you would get a shiny. It was just an average based on what they increased the spawn rate to.

Of course the more you play in the three hours the more you’re likely to get.

5 shinies. Evolved the 79% and 80% shinies into Tyranitar.

Highest IV caught was 90%.

Before the event I had 10 T'tar highest being 96% and fully powered up. 126 candy

Now I have 12 T'tar and 414 candy

I caught three shinys with rubbish iv but I evolved the best one. Think it’s just over 60%. Evolved an old 98 iv larvitar and caught another 98 & 96% which I also evolved. I also evolved a 94% which was level 30 when caught so hardly needs any powering up. So now got 5 tyranitars with smack down, one of which is shiny but rubbish. I had a great time though. Met up with the others after for a raid and some had 13 shinys!!

My motley crew. I had horrible problems with connectivity for most of the morning and lots of errors. Had to restart countless times. We could have done with today's weather for the mareep day. I've still kept a full evolution worth of candy back.

Completely forgot about community day today! . In all fairness, it has been a very busy day so I don't think I would have had time to go out and catch even if I had remembered. Never mind. There's always next month

Ooh DS promptly found a shiny Shellder. 71% IV but still. I promptly evolved it which was a mistake. Shiny Cloyster is boring.

Nice idea on the stats WhatToDo; that's the sort of thing I always think oh, that would have been a good idea, after the event, and then spend a frustrating amount of time trying to work out what I had before!
I do know that I was on 1.25m XP on Thursday after a mass evolution and tidy up in prep for today (I know, sad!) and I'm now on 1.65m so did pretty well yesterday & today! The triple XP plus egg was fantastic!
I didn't get anything really good IV-wise, so I was really glad I'd held on to a 91% from before to evolve today, along with a couple of others just to get the smack down move. Also only got 4 shinies & had a Kyogre escape, so that was a bit disappointing!
Was quite happy to find that our park was also spawning Misdreavus on a quite major scale, as I have had very few of these and none have been 'simply amazes' rating (for Valor). Even when I have done a misdreavus raid it was only 'strong'.
Also had a lot of problems with game crashing; seems to have been quite a common occurrence today.

bettytaghetti Thanks! I just find it absolutely fascinating. My stats for previous community days are buried in threads so I’m gonna go looking at some point so I can keep a record of them and do some comparisons.

I know I missed one or two due to work, though, but can’t remember which 😂

My community day plan is to appraise each (enter featured Pokémon here), if it’s not a wonder (best for Mystic) I transfer immediately unless it’s shiny. Then I put the wonder into PokeGenie and I only keep it if it’s above 90%; otherwise it gets transferred.

If above 90% I rename it with IV percentage and level, so that when it comes to my evolution stage 20 minutes before the end, I don’t have to appraise or sift through loads of Pokemon, I only have a small, select few to choose from.

Works well

I caught absolutely nothing that could battle with the best of them. I would have thrown away everything that wasn't shiny if I hadn't held on to anything really strong.

In other stats, I've done 17,000 steps so far today! Feeling pooped now!

I'm so glad I found this thread I found Articuno this week and have had no one to celebrate my joy with!

imnotadragon Welcome! And congrats on Articuno

What’s your team and level?

How has everyone's event gone? We went to a new town and it was awful! There was barely any mobile signal so I couldn't catch much. I only managed 30 larvitars, 2 of them shinies. I was so disappointed. No special move evolutions or anything due to the lack of signal.

Oh, and on my way to work one day I caught a shiny carp! That was great. It is utterly shit and has been evolved into an equally shit garydos, but hey, I now have a shiny gary!

Here's my shiny collection

I am blue I think that's team mystic probably am wrong lol I have no idea played every day for months in 2016 I believe, and only recently started again I'm only level 24

dillite I did a full scale analysis and statistics post a page or two back on my community day results

And to say you only got 30 Larvitar, 2 shinies is an excellent rate!

imnotadragon You’re not wrong - blue is Team Mystic

It’s no problem you haven’t played in a while. We’re all friendly here and we welcome any questions you have. A lot has changed since 2016!

Here’s a great guide for returning players:
pokemongo.gamepress.gg/welcome-back-guide-returning-players

It should update you on all the changes but as I say, we’re happy to answer any questions

TSR has published Day 2 of their shiny findings!

It’s mostly about raid bosses, but with further calculations, they have managed to narrow down the community day Shiny rate to 1 in 24.5.

They have also noted there is no difference between the various community days; they’ve all had the same shiny spawn rate.

For raid bosses the rates are (or were depending on if they’ve been removed):

Lugia: 1 in 19
Ho-Oh: 1 in 19
Aerodactyl: 1 in 45
Mawile: 1 in 35
Absol: 1 in 75

Nothing wrong with level 24, imnotadragon!

Team Mystic here too AND I’m also a returning player

Thanks guys loads!
I love it this time round I think I stopped playing as I kept spawning pidgys and weedles for so long. This time round I've found some cool new ones I'm desperately trying to get a snorlax they never ever appear around here in Surrey

I'm desperately trying to get a snorlax they never ever appear around here in Surrey

imnotadragon It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, Snorlax spawns are exceptionally rare; they have a spawn rate of 0.016%, so almost non-existent.

That means for every 10,000 spawns, only 1.6 of them will be Snorlax.

So yeah, your best chance of Snorlax is through 10km eggs (however the water event is really only giving 2km eggs so you’ll have to wait until it’s over and egg drops are back to normal).

I also still need a Snorlax. The water event means I hatched a Lapras, finally! So only need Snorlax to have all Gen1 bar regionals.

I caught a wild Vaporeon today, that's the first Eevolution I've seen in the wild.

@imnotadragon Are you in any WhatsApp groups locally to you?
