Pokemon Go #18: You ain't nothin' but a Houndoom.

[DoctorTwo]

Has everybody got Ex Raid passes for next Saturday? Hopefully it'll be another 100% catch rate...

Welcome to the new thread.

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

Five consecutive raids where I got 0 rare candy.

Is this just bad luck?

SneakyGremlins Raid rewards are determined by your raid performance, the team controlling the gym and your gym badge rank.

So if you did poorly in the raid (didn’t contribute as much damage as others, used Pokemon that weren’t effective or had poor movesets, fainted more than others etc. etc.), another team is controlling the gym, and/or you only have a bronze or silver gym badge on that gym, your rewards will be lower and not as prestigious as the ones others recieve.

On the contrary, if you have gold on the gym, you contributed a lot of damage and/or your team has control of the gym, you are more likely to receive more and better rewards.

Raid rewards aren’t completely random; they’re individual and personal to you.

raining other people in the raid seem to get some

[rainingcatsanddog]

I think no rare candy from 5 tier 5 Raids is very unusual.

[rainingcatsanddog]

You can trade Mewtwo but if one person hasn't got it then the stardust cost may be prohibitive.

[SirNilsOlav]

I'm not sure on the candy Sneaky but despite the catch rate being similar/identical to other legendaries the real life perception of Regirock definitely seems to be that it's harder to catch (across two seperate groups I'm in). There are a lot of reports of having great/excellent curves on all balls and it breaking out. Combined with it being a bit rubbish and the number of T5 getting done has quite dramatically fallen!

[SneakyGremlins]

I think you can't currently trade Mewtwo.

[CrabbitArse]

With the advent of trading is there such a thing as an exclusive Pokémon though?

[SneakyGremlins]

I've done five Regirock raids.

Five consecutive raids where I got it with every ball, and it broke out, then fled.

Five consecutive raids where I got 0 rare candy.

Is this just bad luck? 🤔

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

Since Niantic are intent on removing Mewtwo’s exclusive status, with Mewtwo’s base catch rate having been exceedingly high at 6%, I really hope they nuke it down to 2% like Lugia and Ho-Oh.

That’s the very least I expect at this point.

[TallulahBetty]

FINALLY found someone to trade with! And look what I got! I should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky..

[sonicshoegazes]

I'm walking with my bloody eevee it's driving me insane!!!

I'll send gifts over the next few days. I've been stuck in the house the last few days.

I'm off to Kiev next week...I'm hoping to find some different Pokémon. We need gen 4 released already Niantic!!!!

[Efferlunt]

Ah all that effort to get a taurous in the US was wasted then! Still I only have Farfetched, Kangstan and Mewtoo to go to complete my Kanto Dex so this will help.

[TangelasVine]

I once had 4 creepy Mr Mimes in my house at once, so I expect I'll hatch a fair few.
Ahh interesting about regionals not being from that regions eggs. That would have been cool though - like a proper souvenir from abroad

[purplecorkheart]

Noy sure if I am allowed post this or not. I have started back playing but know no one in real life who plays. My trainer code is 4956 7398 5857 if anyone would add me. Thanks

[OhLookHeKickedTheBall]

Ah yes, candy - the only benefit of hatching one of those little $%%$@@s. Well stardust and stuff too. But after 7km I still can't forgive them

[SneakyGremlins]

Forgot you get more candy from eggs

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

SneakyGremlins I see Ratatta’s on a regular basis but I still really enjoyed them in eggs as it got my candy for them into the thousands, helping my multiple mass evolves per week.

[SneakyGremlins]

I don't know what your area is like Wailmer but I see about 15-20 a day around my house!

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

OhLookHeKickedTheBall Alolan Ratatta’s haven’t been in eggs for quite some time which I think is a real shame as I was using them in my regular mass evolves.

[OhLookHeKickedTheBall]

I read somewhere that they removed the Alolan Rattatas from the eggs a while back. Not sure if its true and I can bet my luck will be first few eggs I accept will contain them .

[SneakyGremlins]

You just know they won't.

[rainingcatsanddog]

The eggs can also contain Alolans too which will be annoying unless they seriously reduce the percentage chance of hatching those.

[WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue]

PolkerrisBeach You’re not wrong - all Kanto regional Pokemon will be available and have a chance of hatching from any 7km Egg you receive after 9pm on the 13th, regardless of where the friend who sent you the egg is from.

[PolkerrisBeach]

I need Tauros so pretty pleased about that as I have a few friends in the USA to get eggs from.

That's not how I interpreted the release - I understood it to mean that all eggs from friends accepted between those dates might contain one of the regionals, irrespective of where that friend is from and where the pokestop was which gave the gift. I could well be wrong though!!
