So what's the best way you guys "grind" for Raid legendaries? I joined the Discord Pokemon Go group for los Angeles. Do I just figure out where people are convening through that? Are there set times and places that the 5* egg raids always appear? It seems all over the place to me.

If the Regis, who have one of the most creative quests to catch them in Pokemon, are released simply as raid bosses...that's kind of a bummer lol. Especially since they're not really good enough to be interesting otherwise.

They probably will just be standard raid Pokémon. It would be interesting though if they did a massive questline where you obtain all three AND Regigigas though.

new details on friendships and trading

- friendships build up over time, much like real friendships
- 7km eggs hatch alolan forms, obtained from gifts
- stardust costs on trading scale up for legendaries, shinies, and mons you've not seen before. mythicals can be traded
- mons can only be traded once
- cp/hp will be re-rolled on trade, so trade your junk could be your friend's treasure
- get candy for the mon you traded away. example used is an american trading away mr. mime gets candy for his other mr. mimes.


well now... i'm kinda bummed i've only kept one of each regional i have..

Yeah if we're getting Alolan forms from special eggs I wonder how they'll do the evolution only ones (Exeggutor, Raichu, Marowak).

There's been so much confusion about Alolan forms, but I'm pretty sure this is how they work at this point:
-Alolan Diglet/Geodude lines will be found in the wild during Go Fest, it is possible other Alolan Pokemon will be wild via events too
-All non-evolved Alolan Forms can presumably be hatched via gifts, as they were all added to the files
-Rainbow Weather may allow you to get Alolan Evolutions from non-Alolan Pokemon, but it's unclear if that's still the case since that leaked a while ago and we haven't heard about it since

Makes sense. Otherwise multi-accounters with too much time and stardust could use the trading feature to keep rerolling.

It's random and the best way to grind raids is to have a group of dedicated people, map out the lvl. 5 eggs in your vicinity and plan a route so you can raid the most times throughout the day. If you're just casually raiding, pay attention to the app and look for raids that are either close to you or enough people have signed up. If you sign up, other people might be more inclined to sign up too. Be open about your trainer level. You don't want to show up, then find out you can't quite make it as a group.

Got a 100% Charmander from an egg last night which just edges out the others I have, so happy with that. Me and my buddy already have our morning planned for the next CD so looking forward to that.

Shame I missed out on the Kyogre raiding but I don't have anything decent enough to go up against him and I've just hit 29, would like to get some more powerful and varied Pokemon before I start going raiding.

49 deep. Still no shiny.

If there are enough people to finish the raid, no one will care if you tag along with nonsense. I ran out of revives last night and have literally been throwing everything except the kitchen sink at raids as a result. Outrage Dragonite as a Kyogre counter and the Bellossom anchor got me some laughs this morning.

I got a notification from Pokemon Go. Regice is coming to Raids July 19th.

Gen 4 must be very soon.

I have had no luck in finding ANYONE to help me out with raids lol. I haven't gotten a single legendary Pokemon besides the Articunos from the Field Research missions.

I'm going through all my Larvitar community day IV's and it's infuriating with all the bloom right over the CP. Who thought that was a good idea?

Yeah, that's extremely annoying. Really messes with IV scanners. Also the red GPS error bar that covers the CP... just put that literally anywhere else.

Honestly I kind of don't want to use the IV scanners because I know that if I find out that my Pokemon are actually not that good at all, then I'll be annoyed by it lol.

So I'm probably going to continue living in blissful ignorance.

Only one Kyogre on the final day of the event.

Finished with 6/7.

No shiny. Not sure which one to power-up.

The general approach for a while now seems to be overlapping reissues with potential shinies and a brand new legendary, with occasional short breaks in between for either. So I'd say Shiny Groudon is probably happening any time now, if not immediately. The only reason there might be a short break is because Kyogre was technically was part of a larger event.

Reminder: Last year they "slowly" rolled it out, but it was fully rolled out in like 3 days max.

Likely to help limit the insane traffic they prob receiving for this. I bet it be lv 30 by end of day, if not lv 25

I'd be fine with a slow rollout if it actually made sure the features worked and wasn't a glitchy experience. But that's not at all what happened with raids lol.

Calm down everyone. At least wait another hour :P

Level 40s are the least likely to need to trade.
Says who? There is plenty for me to trade. Don't forget the friendship stuff is very useful for raids, not to mention new 7k eggs. None of us have those

What? Yes it was. Or what do you mean?

Bummer, I don't have any space right now. I wonder if the contents are decided when you get the gift or when you open them.

It's gotta be when you open it right? Otherwise you'll end up with extra eggs.

I mean, yes raids had a lot more issues back then. But the main reason for this to make sure the servers don't die. Less so to test it out.
