PokemonGo #20. There's a Ratatta in my kitchen, chuck a ball at it.

Shiny new thread!

I'm loving the new special research. I'm not loving that none of my Pikachu have been shiny. Harrumph (Dr)

Right, what the fuckety-fuck does it take to catch a cresselia?

BaronessBomburst Cresselia’s base catch rate is only 2%; they’re legendary so they’re meant to be hard to catch.

I know people who have done upwards of 20+ raids on certain legendary Pokemon before catching one so only doing two and not catching isn’t bad.

Baroness is 9pm GMT ok? (are you game initials GDK?)

So, today I hatched this little guy. Shit IV but it's my first one.

Cresselia’s base catch rate is only 2%

DS has TWO!!!

Yeah, some people are luckier than others

@JuniLoolaPalooza
That'll be 10pm here, so that's fine. I'll set the alarm and open at 10 past.
I can ping you on here first too if you want?
I am indeed Gertrude.

I caught my first cresselia, didn't get the second, and caught the third earlier.

So today has been cresselia, meltan and shiny mawile.

DP is setting an alarm @BaronessBombast. He is your biggest fan. Thanks!
Apols for lack of gifting from me, been driving a lot instead of walking.

The aerodactyl on my two egg task is shiney seeing as shineys hate me this is most unexpected. Will it remain shiney if I stack it until I'm on that part if the Meltan task?

I've been stuck on stage 3 of the meltan task for days. Took me ages to find a pokestop giving out an excellent throw, and now I can't throw one with all these small circle Pokemon around! Not holding out much hope of completing this in time either.

Will it remain shiney if I stack it until I'm on that part if the Meltan task?

TangelaHair Of course. The Pokemon doesn’t change just because you stacked it.

If Vickster40 is around, we can go ultra today... do you want to coordinate?

Is anyone doing anything special to get through the 10 raids task more quickly? I have a few premium raid passes but I still think it will take me a week, and then it's the community day weekend which means the Pokémon you need to catch in later meltan tasks won't be around, right? The extra raid passes are expensive!

Hi MrsJamin, I'm stuck on the raids too and very conscious that if I don't finish Let's go by 27th then I won't get Meltan because omanyte, Kabuto and anorith will disappear.

I'm not gonna have time to do 10 raids this weekend but if I see one pop up near me or if I'm passing one I'll join it and then run away because it'll still count towards your total. I'm hoping to be done by Tuesday.

Hooray, thank you Wailmer.

Anyone else finding everything they hatch needs potion?

Remind me, if you join a raid then run away, does it use your raid pass?

Tangela they will be eggs you got before the stat rework, I had a few that needed potions.

Tinsel it will use your raid pass if you hit battle and enter the lobby then run. Its using the pass that updates the task.

BouleBreaker I'm really sorry, I triggered best friends before realising... I thought we still had two days to go. Hopefully you see this and get a lucky egg on in time!!

@BouleBaker Sorry for the typo above

I accidentally triggered a best friends for us... Please put on a lucky egg before you open!! Thanks, and apologies

Thanks Trash, although it's academic for the time being as I seem to have completely lost the ability to do Great Throws.

I finally managed my excellent curveball ...
So I cleared to special research projects in one go and finally got Mew and Celebi

just 5 more raids to go to move onto the next level of Meltan next....

KB81 you've set me a gift which will also trigger us going ultra when I open it.
Do you want to put an egg on at 9pm tonight?
I'll hold off opening until I hear from you.

Well done Hamster 🐹. I’ve done three raids so going to take at least the weekend before I move on. I’ve got everything I need for all the evolutions so that’s something

DH caught my stacked Pidgey/Ditto. He thought he was doing me a favour.

LTB, Cookie, it’s the only course of action.
