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

[DoctorTwo]

Ooh look! A shiny new thread! Hello everybody.

Don't forget to make friends with people living in NYC for the Week 3 event. Bouffalant is a NYC regional in 7k eggs during week 3 event

Whoever invited me to the raid- if you get more people I will try and help

I didn't think regionals could be sent in eggs? Or have they added that?

They do it for egg events

An NYC regional during a pandemic is nuts though

I've caught 3 shinys today all new to me as well so I'm very happy. Plus got my first lucky trade so its been a good day, once I worked out that it was my morning dog walk to collect balls that stopped me from getting the rocket raider - you don't get the components when your bag is full. Lesson learnt but a waste of an hour. Got incense on and hoping for one more shiny before 8pm

The incense has been great for me too.
I'm having dinner soon then will have one last go at that shiny Gible or Tangela.

I didn't buy a ticket, but I've managed to catch some legendaries in various raids and today I got a shiny magicarp so I'm happy.

I've just checked and I've got 2 NYC friends. So will hopefully manage to keep them for the next 3 weeks.

I'm pretty sure I read that you can't get the NYC thing from hatching if you are outside NYC...

Awwww. I was all excited for a few minutes

Sorry that I misunderstood the NYC thing..

Anyone want to do a Dialga raid? There's 15 minutes left

That was brilliant fun. Clearly I need some local raid buddies as that only worked a few times for me, but we had a great time. I'm beyond chuffed that my Articuno and Mewtwo on one account are hundos! Got some lovely shinies too, particular favourites are Snover and Zangoose. So pretty!

Will you post a pic of your shines, I didn't get many at all.

Oh and this one

Hi all please may you add my DS as a friend 302391810046? He would be very happy!

I only got a shiny Charmander today, I'll evolve it all the way when I have a lucky egg and do an evolution session.

I did manage to join a local raid and got a 3* Palkia (sorry I couldn't invite anyone, it wouldn't let me!)

I didn't get Giovanni though

I got the shiny Alolan Exeggutor plus this Carvanha.

I'm pleased to report that DS got 3 legendaries today, after his disappointment yesterday. Neither of us could catch a Dialga though, despite 3 successful battles each. Very envious of those who got it!

I'm exhausted but really enjoyed myself the whole weekend (glitches aside)

Apologies to those of you who invited me to raids today, I either just missed out due to doing Rocket Balloons, had a glitch so couldn't get in or (by the end of the day) ran out of passes.

I got a cracking shiny haul though, 38 in total over the 2 days, including an Unown in the last hour today

That Carvanha is beautiful @ignatiusjreilly I only got a couple of shinies. Shiny Squirtle doesn't look much different to the regular one mind...

I'll add your son in a minute, @GrumpyMug2 - tell him to look for a friend request from Debstonmon2. I've had a blast this weekend, I really hope that they will do another virtual event like this. I'm about to log back in and see if I get any raid invites from the US!

I caught many shinies over the weekend. I thought they were everywhere. I stopped after a while as I’m sure I’ve lost the fingerprint on my Pokemon finger.

I caught a shiny Klink (from a raid) and a Meditite in the wild

38 shinies! Amazing WitchSharkAdder

I only have 2- a Sableye and an Unown. Only the latter was new.

I'm really happy with the spawns and the chance to catch rares like Gible. Hopefully they will consider a worldwide event every year rather than limiting it to Japan, West Coast US and the odd other place.

The Unlock events look great too. Hopefully the good spawns will be as plentiful as this weekend.
