I'm hoping they do most of the legendaries through research. Raids are incredibly boring and I'd prefer to entirely avoid ever using the game's god awful battle system again. (I'll probably still do a few raids for the Mew quest, but man does that battle system need an overhaul).

Damn wish I had checked because I would've pinaped instead of golden raspberried it. Oh well, got an 87% Moltres which I had never gotten before which is great.

Also walked around a ton and got my first Togetic and evolved my Magikarp. Very productive day.

Man this is sad, several of the local guys from my color who I used to play with have started spoofing and become exactly what I hated about this game: Spoofers who obsess with taking down gyms and turning this game into some kind of gang territory wars, rather than actually having fun and socializing with other people. I just quietly left their WhatsApp group, it was getting too heated in there and I don't like that BS. What is it with people turning an innocent and fun little game into such a shitfest?
Sorry to hear that.

Forever, hopefully.

Seriously, I hope they give the option to display mons as sprites or models in the list.
Oh, no. I would rage quit :P Things are so hard to recognize now.

Btw, I'm having some android questions:

1. The game has made my phone restart three times in a month, is this happening to anyone else? Does it have anything to do with game tools and screen touch lock that I'm using? I think it has restarted only when I try to unlock this mode. Might also be because of the magnification button that I use, in which case I should send a bug report to Samsung. I'm using Galaxy S9+.

2. The screen flashes white once when the game has finished loading and you see the map. It looks like when you take a picture in ios. Is this normal? It doesn't happen on ios.

Moltres catch rate now 6/10.

Got literally the worst possible IV. The babiest of babies.

I'd also love an option to keep the sprites.

And I'm super happy about the 7-day reward. I thought it would be random, but since everyone seems to have gotten
Moltres
, that means there's a good chance I'll finally get the one I'm missing:
Articuno
.

Really hope they stick articuno, zapdos, and the 3 dogs in that order and just go through them like that as I have none of them as only started playing in Jan. Nearly level 26.

Made it to lv 40 last night! Thanks to Mew (not bad IVs, with 15 Atk) and the Research Breakthrough! Also caught a shiny Duskull this morning too.

Congratulations! For all you level 40 trainers, does it feel weird not working on your XP anymore? Like I guess at that point it's just about getting the best mons and stardust.

A little yeah. But, for most of us, once you hit lv 38, there is little reason to hit 40, as at 38 you can max out your Pokemon. So for me, lv 40 feels the same as when I hit 38 in Oct lol. But it does feel super nice.

Congrats! Now you can take it easy at Disney. :)
Thanks! Yeah. I now esp look forward to doing lots of quests at Disney.

Well, we really won't know until more details emerge or others reach the 2nd research breakthrough.

Any idea what the week 2 reward will be? I saw people saying Moltres several days ago, so I assume there's a way to find out early?

The reason people were saying Moltres a few days ago is because it was part of the screenshots and other media given out to promote the quests feature.
People did start completing the final quest yesterday afternoon (european time) so if nothing else we should find out what the second one is around that time next week.

How did we figure out Moltres so early? Did Niantic post it somewhere? I feel like I saw it as far back as day one.

Any chance the dailies change as well? I feel like the reward encounters are weighted more heavily towards fire.

I also wonder how weekly rewards will work for people who don't get their stamps consecutively.

I was really hoping it be more random legendary, and who knows. Maybe in future it will b more random.

Maybe they'll change them up every legendary time period. I've been hunting the poison types each day to get Grimer encounters for my Muk. Also went out of my way to get the win 5 raids one for a Typhlosion.

Search out the "catch 10 pokemon" quests with Pokemon Encounter, it's Magikarp. I probably gotten 3 or 4 of them so far. Hope to get shiny soon.

I also hoped everyone would get a different legendary but obviously they were cycled through, so if you were missing one you would get it sooner or later.

Hopefully region exclusives get added to this as well

Yeah, I was thinking of that too.

Also, forgot to mention that I solo'd a Jolteon this past weekend for part of the quest. I knew I could fair it and succeed, but I was so close that I decided to see if I could beat it, and I did! Literally with like 3 seconds left. Used like 3 high power Rhydons in boosted weather to help greatly. Kinda makes me nostalgia about the 1st days of raids when I failed a Jolteon with someone else (no idea where). Tried twice, but couldn't do it, back during the days where barely had any ground pokemon worthy, esp with right moves.

But in special, not field research. Make them part of big quests.

The one week I'm actually able to go to ex raid gyms and do raids at them and it seems like there aren't any invites going out. At this rate I'm never getting a Mewtwo...

Haven't played much in several days, but I've done 2 Latios raids this week. Both were in windy weather.

I'm 0/2, and I'll try again during the day. One of the fled Latios had 2566 CP, which stung a little. Trying again with two free passes. After I catch one or two, I'll stop Legendary Raids until Latias comes up. Would much rather hunt Tyranitar, but I never see those show up.

I hatched an Azurill from one of my Eggstravaganza eggs, which is awesome.

Got my Latias. Not really a great one but it's not useful anyways.

Man I love the quests, this is soooo good. I hope they update it regularly with new quests and rewards.

96% Moltres for me. Beefed it up so its got a higher Cp than my others which were less IV. Its not as good as Entei, right? So no need to power up too high?

They have previously been going out 2 days before the next one and the next one (for Europe anyway) is Sunday so they may go out tonight ?

Got lucky and got off work pretty early today. Normally I can't catch ghosts during their nightly boosted spawn period, because I go to bed at 8pm and work at 4am, but I was actually able to get ghosts for my girlfriend and I. Got myself to the full 10 and her to 7. Now I just need 3 more Magikarp (she needs 299 candy still, lol).
