It's a Tyranitar Grin - me and DS will start at 14:45. If we don't get anyone coming in with us we'll bail and try again 5 minutes later.

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 14:32

I'm up for it, TheMShip. I'm MistyXYCool.

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 14:42

I'm up for it, @TheMShip!
Blue roses, sorry the Kyurem raid didn't work out. Need at least four players, I think!

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 14:54

Ooh, that was exciting! But I didn't manage to catch him, hope you got him. I used loads of golden razz berries and got a couple of Great shots but he was too jumpy for me.

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 14:59

Thanks for inviting us! We thought we hadn't done it as it froze right at the very end and we had to restart... so it was very exciting to see the result! And we did manage to catch it. Sorry you didn't get it, Bella. Did you have it already?

TheMShip · 23/07/2020 14:59

Got him on my phone but not on the alt for DS. He's still thrilled to have done a raid with other people for the first time!

My DS was doing the battling on my phone and he was thrilled too! It was fun doing one in Scotland too.

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 15:11

Three stars, very nice! No I don't have one already, very keen to have another go at one!

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 15:23

I'll keep an eye out for one around here and try to let you know in advance so you can join.

Would you say we'd need at least 4 people? I couldn't tell how easily we defeated it because it froze.

TheMShip · 23/07/2020 15:27

I think 4 was required given that my main is 31 and alt 28. We just don't have the same power of counters as 35+ trainers. Forgot to say earlier that was the last catch needed for my gold Johto medal so that's a special research task done too.

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 16:08

@ignatiusjreilly it was a bit close, the clock was down to twenty seconds when we won. I wouldn't think we'd have won without four of us. There's a three star and a four star coming up near me at about 4.30pm so I am watching with interest...

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 16:10

@TheMShip - took me forever to get the last few Pokémon for gold Johto, well done!

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 16:30

The four star raid has hatched a golem. Sad I was so hoping for Togetic or Tyranitar. Will see what the three star is, hatching in about ten minutes...

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 17:19

We're just heading off to a 3* Machamp raid, if anyone wants to join us? We'll start it in about 10 mins.

HighBrows · 23/07/2020 17:23

Hi @flojo has sent me a raid invite each time I press this to just disappears. What am I doing wrong? Confused

Corneliusmurphy · 23/07/2020 17:34

The raids are weather dependent, have you checked out leak duck?

This is one of their pics and it shows which weather conditions should indicate who’ll hatch so we need someone having a windy day for togetic Smile

@bellabelly
@ignatiusjreilly
I'm about to do a kirlia. Only a 2* but as you're online I'll invite you both for the fun. It's worth having the candies and can be evolved in December for the CD move.
5 min walk to the gym......

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 17:57

Thanks Baroness! I would have loved to join but I'm out of remote raid passes.

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 19:01

Thanks, @BaronessBomburst! I was out for a walk with DC and didn't see the invite.

BaronessBomburst · 23/07/2020 19:46

Well to be honest, they'll never be any point inviting me as I never have any either. Grin

cudbywestrangers · 23/07/2020 19:47

Aaaaaargh!!!!! I just beat Sierra (giratina/ thundurus/ metagross) but didn't realise I am out of pokemon storage so no chance to catch the lapras SadSadSad

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 20:08

@cudbywestrangers oh no, how annoying! The lapras I caught off her was pretty rubbish stats if that's any consolation...
I just took youngest dcs to the playground where Cliff was waiting. And I beat him, yay! The way he throws his pokeballs really annoys me. Grin

ignatiusjreilly · 23/07/2020 20:10

Oh no - that's so annoying!!

cudbywestrangers · 23/07/2020 20:10

It is actually, I do have a lapras already so may be that one is better than the one I missed!!!! Cliff annoys me too

bellabelly · 23/07/2020 20:11

@Corneliusmurphy, just noticed your helpful link about the weather conditions. It's been pretty windy here today, had to put the garden parasol down earlier as it was threatening to blow away. Maybe needs a full on hurricane for Togetic to appear!
