With the upcoming Swinub community day, honouring the year of the pig, it had to be done.

@putthehamsterbackinitscage I am P--T--47 (was TT on MN).
Happy to co-ordinate eggs but looking to also go Best Friends with CarolPaley101 and Beany1 at the same time too so they have the chance to double the 100,000 XP. I'll stock up on gifts and hold some back ready to exchange.

Hopefully they'll see this and respond but if not, when is good for you ?

JuniLoolaPalooza · 28/01/2019 22:04

Baroness I've seen the same thing. Exciting!
There were so many of us at the ex raid my T'Tar barely broke a sweat. Grin How was yours baroness

pottypotamus · 28/01/2019 22:11

@BaronessBomburst
Legendary raid boss is Palkia apparently from tomorrow night.

BaronessBomburst · 28/01/2019 22:14

FAKE NEWS!
It's palkia!

Checking in to the new thread! Nothing exciting happening here, though I did manage to pick up a 100% IV Squirtle this weekend - hurrah!

BaronessBomburst · 28/01/2019 22:26

My t'tar fainted and I was just onto number two as we defeated the boss, but to be fair I was on two phones and a tablet in the rain, so not exactly dodging. Caught on all three accounts too so DS forgave me for not taking him out of school. Grin
We went out raiding later and came back with 10 kyorge, two for me and the rest for DS spread across his accounts. I could have had four (one weather boosted Sad) but two ran. I wasn't the only one though.
DS of course was a jammy git and caught the lot.

JuniLoolaPalooza · 28/01/2019 22:58

10 kyogre?! Wow! They are so hard to catch!

pottypotamus · 28/01/2019 23:01

I have a level 15 Electabuzz - 93% IV and a Level 20 with an IV of 89%.
Which do you think I should evolve into Electivire? I still have several weeks of walking to get candy to come so could potentially catch even better ones.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 28/01/2019 23:14

I have a level 15 Electabuzz - 93% IV and a Level 20 with an IV of 89%. Which do you think I should evolve into Electivire?

pottypotamus It depends how much candy and stardust you have, and if you’re planning on powering it up. To evolve costs 100 candy, and to take a Pokemon from Level 15 to Level 20 it costs 21,400 dust and 20 candy.

Electivire does have better DPS than Raikou, but it doesn’t have a second type and it will soon be outclassed, so I wouldn’t advise powering it up beyond level 20 (if you go for the level 15 93%, which I would) or at all (if you go for the level 20 89% one).

So my recommendation is to choose the 93%, power it up to level 20 and stop there Smile

BaronessBomburst · 29/01/2019 07:49

How much would the attack stats come into play? If one had an attack of 11 and the other of 15 what would that mean in real terms in a gym/ PVP battle? The move set does the damage so how does the attack strength work?

pottypotamus · 29/01/2019 08:53

Thanks Wailmer. I only have about 60 candy. So walking with it at the moment and desperately seeking out the field research for electabuzz.
Which pokemon will outclass it?

TallulahBetty · 29/01/2019 11:11

Attempted a solo Kyogre raid this morning just for the lols. What a waste of time and revives Grin

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 29/01/2019 12:56

pottypotamus Most certainly Zekrom and Thundurus.

BaronessBomburst While it may sound like a simple question, the answer is extremely complex!

So when your Pokemon attack, they deal damage based on the following:

• The attacking Pokemon's base attack, attack IV, and level

• The defending Pokemon's base defense, defense IV, and level

• The attacking Pokemon's damage multipliers (STAB) and defending Pokemon's type disadvantages

So your damage is calculated by:

Floor (½PowerAttack/DefenseSTABxEffectiveness) +1

And when you know your damage output you can divide that by your move cool down to get DPS.

So TrueDPS = Damage/Duration

TL;DR To simplify it, the moveset does the damage based on the combination of factors above, so the lower the attack stat is, the less damage will be done.

A high attack stat is extremely important if you want to use the Pokemon as an attacker in battles.

BaronessBomburst · 29/01/2019 13:48

Thank you Wailmer! I've been trying to get to the bottom of that for a while now.
I think if I have two similar Pokémon I'll just go for the one with the highest attack then.

TallulahBetty · 29/01/2019 15:22

What are the gyms/pokestops like at Echo Arena/Albert Dock, anyone know?

MonaChopsis · 29/01/2019 16:37

So excited! Only a mere 5 million to go Grin

Wow well done Mona!

bettytaghetti · 29/01/2019 17:58

Congrats Mona!

Talking of levels, Wailmer do you think they will ever go beyond level 40?

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 29/01/2019 18:13

Talking of levels, Wailmer do you think they will ever go beyond level 40?

bettytaghetti Yes, I believe they will eventually. Several people have had discussions with John Hanke (founder and CEO of Niantic) where they say he’s mentioned it will be increased at some point.

It’s also worth noting they have added levels to Ingress, another Niantic game, and even when you’re level 40 you can still see your XP increase.

SneakyGremlins · 29/01/2019 18:19

I know you're not the CEO of Niantic, Wailmer, but surely getting to level 50 would need an insane amount of XP? Grin

I hope they introduce ultra friend/best friend long distance trading.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 29/01/2019 18:36

SneakyGremlins Yes, it probably would!

I hope they introduce ultra friend/best friend long distance trading.

I personally don’t think they will. Even with ultra/best friend status, it opens the trading system up to abuse.

PickAChew · 29/01/2019 18:51

If the current trend continues, 49-50 would probably require 50 million XP.

I'm level 40 and don't even have half of that in total, yet! I know there are players who have that many times over but they tend to spend lots of money on the game and probably don't have a life
