Scraggy is the new research encounter
Plus details about the spotlight hours and events for the next 4 weeks

Just seen this on the Facebook group - handy August summary!

Ooh thanks for the info, I'm really bad at never reading the updates!

I could do with more scraggy candy so that works well for me.

Does anyone know what the next legendary will be in raids? I've got two Kyurem now (thank you for the invites!) and looking forward to the next ones...

Rayquaza should be the five star raid Pokémon next, I’d love some more.

In that graphic bella shared is that a mega Gyarados? I couldn’t see anything about megas in the blog.

Also really pleased about the go fest makeup session, I was a bit sad I couldn’t give it more attention at the time. Will have to make sure I spend the afternoon free.

I heard mega evolution was coming later this year or early next, and if you squint at the image there's a little blue box that says "SOON!" beside the mega Gyrados.

So, I have been googling how to defeat Rayquaza and it's double weak to ice attacks. So I want to power up all my ice Pokémon in readiness BUT I have very little stardust. What can I do to earn more stardust quickly, apart from opening gifts? My mind's gone totally blank. I wish I hadn't wasted loads on purifying shadow Pokémon now...

Bella, the best way to do it is just to keep catching and raiding. If you can do a fair few raids in a short timeframe it's worth using a star piece to earn the 1.5x dust.

I wouldn't worry too much though, Ray is actually quite easy to beat compared to lots of the legendaries, me and DS duo'd him several times last summer so 4+ people should be a walk in the park.

Also you seem to get good stardust amounts for doing battles in the leagues when the 5 battles are completed...

Thanks, that's all good to know. I'll have fun battling fandoms, I had forgotten that you get lots of stardust for the Battle League.

RANDOMS not fandoms, .

Hi @dillite, if you're interested I can invite you to raids? Since we're best friends you'll also get the 4 bonus balls to help catch the mon.
When someone sends you an invite the nearby box will turn orange. Click on that and swipe to see raids and there should be the one with the invite at the top. Click on that and use a remote pass if you want to join.

Also, as others have mentioned, you don't get very long to accept, so you have to act fast.
There have been quite a few glitches/ teething problems? so sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to get everyone in!

@ademanlu I can’t see you online for the planned level up. I’ll wait a few more minutes, hope you come

@Katastrofe I'm here now have dodgy signal at the minute!

Ok hope it works - just opened your gift! Fingers crossed!

Brilliant @Katastrofe that worked! I got 200k

Brilliant @HighBrows! Hope it also worked for you @ademanlu!

Thanks for the raid invite a few days ago. I think it was from @katastrofe. However when I clicked it took me to a raid with noone in so not sure what happened there. @jillandhersprite and @superloudpopping yes I would like to coordinegg for friend levelling up. Also have several other to include, including @happygoducky and @mrsladybird.
Anytime over the next few days should work for me. Not sure when? I'm ginliker.

Oh fab, tumpymummy- I'm flexible too so can wait and see what everyone else thinks
