Pokemon Go Thread #29: Are Friends Manectric? Are they?

[DoctorTwo]

Ooh look! A shiny new thread! Hello everybody.

I would love an invite to the Gible raid
Fingers crossed one of us gets a shiny

Oops just realised I was too late.

Invite Debstonmon2 if you see this in time! I'm up for more raids!

No no all my fault. I jumped in with a group then didn't have time to invite anyone. So sorry!

Will have a walk around the block to see if there are any other gobbles near me

Hey. Sorry I couldn't get any raids in earlier, I was stuck in traffic for ages!

Anyway, online now if anyone wants to raid.

13 shiny mins for me so far, including a Gible, which I did a wee squeal at!

Just caught a Gible from incense.

I just got a Seviper from my incense. I didn't know it was back in the UK?

@bellabelly thanks for the invite! I didn't realise I hadn't caught a clink before!

Oh brilliant, @scoobyandshaggy - I will have a look what else is on near me.
Pokeboys, thanks for the Kyogre invite. My Pokémon all fainted and I got booted out of the gym. But I restarted the game and saw that you all won in my absence and I even caught him, thank you!

@WitchSharkadder 13 shinies is amazing! Remind me of your pogo name and I will see what raids are on. I'm about to do a one star Timburr raid if anyone wants an invite?

@bellabelly, I'm CherryBam.

And I'm trying to send you all gifts but it's a struggle. I think it's an issue for everyone though.

@WitchSharkadder I don't think you're on my ever expanding friends list. I'm 490658470299 if you want to add me? Debstonmon2.

The gifts thing was disappointing. Only had rare candy for about five minutes and then the game kept glitching and not letting me open them!

@bellabelly my local Facebook chat group are all complaining that their games are glitching - it could be that America has just come online and is overloading the system. There are some VERY UNHAPPY people in the group. I've lost my whole friends list at the moment, hoping it reappears

Apparently Wizards Unite also have an event day. Classic Niantic ...

Oh yes, the whole USA coming online at the same time could well be the reason. It was just a bit irritating, the bonus unlocked with only 5 minutes to spare. I need those rare candies...

Just caught shiny Unown woohoo!!

Is Wizards Unite the Harry Potter version of Pogo? Strange to have both events the same weekend!

Oh wow, @netflixismysidehustle! Well done.

It's been pouring with rain here. My plan to wander around town happily spinning pokestops has gone down the drain... Sorry if I owe gifts to you...

The raid invites aren't working well for me. I've accepted several only to be told the code doesn't match.

But please keep trying! I really really want my first legendary.

Does anyone want to fight a kyogre with me?
