Good advice. I do have a 96% Magnezone. I will power it up.
First time I got an EX raid pass, it's for this Sunday afternoon in my area... Is it safe to assume enough people will show up for it? It's at a park near my gf's and it's usually pretty good with players and last community day I was there it was packed with people. I didn't go during Slackoth CD but I soloed a T1 or 2 gym the next day there. I think that's how I qualified for one?
Just be there before hatch so that you don't miss the group.
I would imagine that the main reason for the odd time for Raikou Day is probably so that people can't get 5 free passes the day before in other parts of the world once the event starts in APAC. 4PM in Tokyo for instance is midnight in California. Last year when it started at 11AM, people in North America were able to get 2 days of 5 free passes, which would be relevant here because Groudon would be the current raid boss.

Doesn't that just shift the window so APAC has a better chance of getting an extra 5 free passes on Sunday? 7pm Saturday in Hawaii is 5pm Sunday here in NZ.

Yeah, it's pretty good there. I was kinda surprised how good the spawns were. But it makes sense of course, since there are so many people around, the the cell rate in the popular areas is high.
Yeah, I just hatched eight 10ks and got 3 Dratini, and 1 each of Feebas, Beldum, Shinx and Bagon. The egg pool is such trash.
Boosted rates for the event? Sorry I never know about boosted rates.
Feebas' shiny rate no matter if there is an event or not is about 1/60.
Shiny rates are believed to be species dependent. I believe Silph Researchers have Feebas at a higher than 1/450 rate but I'm not sure what that rate is.
I've probably hatched 3 or 4 Sableye out of 10k. Eggs are just stardust containers for me at this point.
Man, my electric game SUCKS and Kyogre is such a beast. Even with 4 of us, we couldn't take down a Rain-boosted Hydro Pumped Kyogre. :(
It supposed to rain this weekend, so maybe I'll be able to get a bunch of boosted ones at that time with the larger groups in town.

Lots of egg hatching with a star piece active and catching everything. Half distance egg hatching is incredible.
It takes all day though so if you don't have the time then yeah.
Oh and obviously it requires you to have a lot of super incubators.
Re-downloaded recently and so much has changed. Looking forward to making some Era friends and getting rid of these gifts from my inventory.
I'm like 0/52 on a shiny Kyogre now. Did catch another shiny Swablu during the raid hour though.
Caught 2/3 Kyogre. Neither were good, but whatever, I already already have a powered up 91% and shiny 89%. I'll take the 12 candy, 15 rare candy and 2 charge TMs.
Hatched a Shieldon, so that was kind of a nice 10k hatch. Finally went ahead and evolved a Bastiodon.

Yeah... I guess with tons of incubators it'd be possible... must be nice :)
Ouch
At least you can do it 52 times. I'm so jelly of players in San Francisco lol.
52 times since the shiny came out a year ago. So it's not like I did it 52 times in a couple days lol.
But you could totally do 52 in a couple of days :p
You could probably do that in one day tbh.
I did like 45 or so during Moltres Raid Day I guess. That's with driving though.
8/12 with no shinies. None have a particularly good IV either so ehhh not the best hour of my Pokemon Go career. Hopefully next Wednesday treats me better.
4 (with reasonable counters) is do-able but tight (it can actually be trio'd but thats very very close)
The main things for Kyogre this time round are :
The auto selects are rubbish - and I mean really really bad - worse than they were before - virtually regardless of moveset my default team is 6 Tyranitars
Because of that if you do go in with a good team and then dont heal / go back with the same team you do good damage and then you get the defaults and do rubbish damage.
My suggestion here is to make up multiple teams and if you do you an IV checker get it to show you what your top damage mon's are (both CalkyIV on Android and Poke Genie on iOS will do that for you)
There are a few different infographics on the best stuff to use but basically either strong Electric (Raikou / Zapdos / Magnezone / Jolteon) or strong Grass (Roserade / Sceptile with CD move / Venusaur with CD move / Breeloom with event move)
My best teams are doing around 35% damage to a weather boosted Hydropump Kyogre (thats with between 14 and 17 faints)

Versus Kyogre, though, Grass is only good with Sun right? Or at least in Rain, use Electric over Grass, right? I powered up a lucky Electivire of mine, and also boosted an old research Raikou. They're both 30, so now my Electric team is 5 strong, but still die off pretty quickly according to Poke Genie. Even a 5-man group seems pushing it for me.
Anyway, something else I've noticed... Have any of you guys gotten lucky friends lately?
Despite raidin' and tradin' with my second account nearly every day, I've never become lucky friends. BUT.. today was the third time in which I came back home after catchin' and raidin' that I started trading and my first trade after that first interaction of the day resulting in a lucky trade. I thought this may happen, so my first trade were two Kyogres, and both became lucky. :)
Someone on reddit mentioned that idea of "phantom" lucky friends. Lucky friends could still be happening more regularly than you think, but maybe it doesn't show it. It could still be coincidence, but I always do legendary trades first before doing trash trades just in case.

It really depends on the raid kyogre's moves. Grass is just as good as electric with neutral weather, except against a Kyogre with blizzard, your grass types will struggle to get a charge move off before fainting.
Last year I went 1/52 (literally the 52nd Kyogre, the last raid I could do before he rotated out). I did 5 last night for a total of 7 this go around so far and nothing yet.
Roserade also gets very very high damage even in other than sunny weather since it got Grassknot as its charged move - thats not often highlighted in the various posts as they generally just recycled the older information from when Kyogre was around the last time.
Rain is the only weather type that does not give me a Roserade in my A team - In sun its #1 , for everything else its just behind Raikou
Finally finally finally traded and was able to finish that part of the Celebi quest. Ugh
Now i have to evolve 2 pokemon with items and im pretty sure i either already have every one (so i don't have any candy left) or I need those dang Sinnoh Stones.
Whats the best way to get them? I know you can get them from battles, but do the battles against the Team Leaders count? Do you get a chance each time you battle them, once per day or once per tier? (so like, would i get a chance in the Great league and then also the Ultra league fight?)

You can battle another player 3x a day and the Team Leader once a day.
