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

[DoctorTwo]

Ooh look! A shiny new thread! Hello everybody.

@bellabelly it’s odd with those legendary raid catch rates. You mentioned you have done a lot, have you noticed your catch rate go down?
We have just started doing legendary raids and have done 8 so far on both of our two accounts. My DS has caught 8 out of 8 and I have caught 4 out of 8 (2 of those the battle was lost of the app crashed, so only 2 actually escaped). I’m wondering if it lets you catch all of them in the beginning to get you hooked on the raids? We are using golden berries but our throws are nothing special - my DS does get an excellent once per raid but that has never been the throw that actually caught the Pokemon!

@Katastrofe - I have probably only won 10 Kyurem raids max, I was just exaggerating. But I have failed to catch him with excellent / golden razz throws. And caught him fairly easily twice. Tonight I had loads of balls, used golden razzes, fluffed some balls but did some "great" curveballs. It's the luck of the draw, I guess.

IDK if it's true, but one of my phones has a bigger screen, and that seems to catch more raid bosses.

If anyone wants to do a kyrumen raid I'm about, hopefully will catch him this time !

If that was mumsnetters I just raided him again with I still didn't catch the bloody thing ! But was fun though

Hatched a shiny 3* Alolan Vulpix from one of the 7km eggs from a MN friend today. Gorgeous! Will make a spectacular Ninetails.

Forgot screenshot.

That friend invite button sounds excellent! I would love to take part in one of such raids.

@TheMShip Ooh that's lovely... I'm very envious!

@HighBrows I’m not having much success finding the others I’m due to level up with, so I think we can go ahead and schedule a time? Any preferences?

Just caught this in my garden. Small but perfectly formed.

I've got a raid now if any one wants to join

Image didn't attach!

Hope everyone ok... I have just had a little read about the unlock weeks and looks like a good chance to get some new Pokémon.
I think I am a 'collector' - I like getting new ones!
I would definitely be up for a Rayquaza raid and will try to check in here a bit more often from tomorrow if anyone is looking for other raiders. There is one gym that is walkable from home and if I see it turning up there and can physically leave the house I will try to and post here...

Cheers DaisyTrex!

I am super envious @bellabelly I'd love me one of those.

I've only just learnt that the raid eggs are different colours, which mean different things - apparently yellow eggs hatching in gyms are the best ones? Or is this the internet confusing me?

Remember the other week when I posted about really wanting a Jynx? Well I just caught one in the wild, on the way back from the playground. DH was driving, think I startled him when I helped!

@Cupidity, all I know is that the five star raid eggs are silver.

Glad you finally got one, bellabelly

@Katastrofe I think I am on your level up list Adamm50

@Katastrofe anytime after 5pm tomorrow, I on a weeks annual leave!!!!

Delighted for you @bellabelly. I have a few of those vulpix they are gorgeous as a nine ninetails.
I really wish we could do remote trades. Do you ever think this will be possible!?

I took this picture earlier, these are my most hated pokemon to catch, all three together Grrrr

... here's the pic!!!

@ademanlu yes you are! Sorry didn’t write the whole trainer name as I think some people are concerned about that.
Any specific time that you prefer? Would prefer to coordinate the same with with @highbrows as I only have a few eggs left.

@HighBrows tomorrow early evening/evening works well for me. Would 18 pm work for you too @ademanlu?

Has anyone figured out when the Dragon week starts?
