Same.
Raid hour was fun with the stardust bonuses on. Any time I was waiting on others between raids I'd try to clear my stack. It got a bit hectic at times but I ended up with about 80k stardust from that hour alone. Looking forward to the raid day this weekend.
Random shiny Eevee during today's lunch break stroll. Only 2 stars but whatever. Only my 8th shiny in total.
Starter Pokemon are way too difficult to catch. I usually skip them because it's like they're a trap to trick people into wasting a bunch of items catching them.
There was a Torchic this morning, 492CP that I just needed for candies. This dumb chicken broke out of EIGHT straight curved great throw ultra balls before I caught it on the ninth.

I wonder what the shiny rates for Sneasel are now and if they changed them again? I went to a pretty large nest today and walked around for hours and was sure I was going to find one, but I didn't get any. I checked a ton too. It's pretty far away so I don't think I'll be going for round 2.
Kept some premium passes for this weekend, have been tempted to do more Ray raids to try to get a shiny. The group i'm in probably won't do many raids Friday to save the Friday free pass for Saturday, then have Saturday's pass and the 5 free ones on top of that. On the Entei, i managed about 12-13 raids with one shiny (and caught the shiny on the same gym i tend to get most legendarys shinies from)
I don't know but I'm interested to hear how it works out for you if you go again. Could just be bad RNG.
If these things are 1/60 ish I did have bad luck. I did hatch my 4th shiny scyther lol.
I'm tempted now to go back this weekend to compare, the spawns are pretty decent and I got a 96% high cp Weavile out of it so I at least got something.
Managed 3 raids with my kids and my mate and his kids. He got 96% shiny. Which didn't shock me at all as he gets shinies all the time. Caught 3 for 3. My strongest mamoswines were getting wrecked in seconds. My 100% shiny gardevoir was my MVP and my glaceon even though he died real fast too. Youngest got 2 and my eldest caught 1 because of her ipod restarting the app
I totally just saw this now, but he messaged me like an hour ago saying "nooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I don't know if that was directed towards you lol
No shinies during raid hour but they were all weather boosted and caught a 96% so I'm happy with that!
Caught a 2nd shiny Murkrow on the way home too!

So I recently picked up a Pokeball Plus, but I'm having connection issues. I've read that you don't need to have Pokemon Go open in order for the Plus to detect Stops/Pokemon and catch them, but you do have to have Bluetooth enabled.
My Pokeball Plus works fine whenever I have the game open on my phone, but whenever I close out the game, nothing ever happens on my Pokeball Plus. And when I reload Go on my phone, I find that the Pokeball is disconnected. Whenever I close out the app, it disconnects from the Pokeball Plus.
Not sure what's going on.

You can't have the app closed it needs to at least run in the background
If you can see the pokeball plus icon in your notifications it's working
Ok, that makes sense. I kept reading prior to getting one that "you don't need to have the app opened for it to work", but I guess what they really should have said is that the app does need to be open, but can be minimized.
Still a pretty cool device.
Only took a million more Rayquaza in-between my first and second but I got it. Now bring on Suicune!
Sounds like:
Week 1: Johto pokemon event
Week 2: Regional event (?) + Deoxys in 5* raids
Week 3: Increased spawns for rare pokemon + Raikou/Entei/Suicune in raids + Kanto regionals in eggs
I was interested in grinding a bunch of these gift eggs, but damn, I'm only getting one egg out of every 4 or 5 gifts, so that's not working out. Maybe that's for the best, I'm not actually hatching anything good, and there will probably be regionals back in eggs soon to desperately grind.
Also, maybe a limited selection of Unown for week 1 or 3?
It might be the Kanto regionals in Rocket battles, or maybe just the wild. I think it was noticed that Farfetch'd had its shadow form added to the backend recently.

Could be the wild, I guess, I just based that on what they did last year. Seems like a decent chance they'll add shiny Kanto regionals, so I'm not sure about team rocket battles.
Unown would make sense for week 3 as the "unusual" pokemon. I'm also hoping we get Johto regionals in week 1 or 2 cause I still need Heracross.
Thanks for adding me j.edge! Can others add me? Doesn't appear to be many people in my location but at least I can send gifts.
Sounds pretty interesting, would be nice to add more regionals to the Pokedex. If they add gen 2-3 I'd be getting mighty close to a full dex.
If they add Deoxys for a week I wonder if the form will be random? Because I'm doing a speed form raid today, I only need the Normal form.

Getting the regional would be so nice. Sounds like September is going to be packed with awesome events.
Also apparently there's an Adventure Sync 2.0 that's rolling out in some regions which notifies players when a new Pokemon is around.

I guess one week for each form would be okay, assuming they aren't releasing the shiny.
Random form raid would be optimal for Arceus with all the different forms I guess.
From reddit
If you take the paragraph of text for week 3 and sort it out into one sentence per line the first letters spell Unova which is the region for Gen 5

Gen 5 in week 3 would be nice, although it's hardly surprising to see them soonish
Yeah, I have it active but I'm only missing the Gible line, so there isn't exactly much for it to notify me about.
Eh, Deoxys isn't good enough to waste an entire month on it, even if it does have four formes. All I want is the Normal forme to fill in my dex and then I'm done with it.
Well, I don't care about it at all. But I think for more casual players/raiders in more rural areas, a week per form is hard enough. 4 random forms in a single week sounds like hell, might as well just put it in the research breakthrough to be honest.
Well they only mention it during that one week, so it seems like that's what's happening. I guess they could just release Normal forme in raids and leave Attack/Defence/Speed as EX raid exclusives for now.
My guess is they'll bring back Lugia and Ho-oh for week 1, since it's focused on Johto. Week 2 is obviously Deoxys and whatever formes they decide to release. And then week 3 is Suicune, Raikou and Entei.
As excited as I am to get a Farfetch'd or whatever, I'm not sure how keen I am on making region exclusives available elsewhere, even briefly.
Oh really? Then never mind.
My wife went overseas for work and spent a bunch of her free time collecting exclusive Pokemon to trade to the rest of the family when she got back, I just figured she'd be kinda annoyed about that lol
Would be nice if next months research breakthrough could be Kyogre, Groudon and Mewtwo. Doubt it though, think it's more likely Dialga/Palkia enter the rotation.
Okay, let's speculate in detail, I haven't done that and it's always fun.
Week one is certainly Johto raids, with the trio getting raid days, Ho-Oh and Lugia seems right.
Week two should be Deoxys, other mythical Pokemon would touch the research ones and unreleased Gen 4, which seems unlikely.
Week 3 is the tricky one. "Noteworthy opponents are coming to raids, too." doesn't give a clear indication for tier 5 raids imo, might also just be new other bosses (Salamence? Gible (lol)?). Week 2's text doesn't really completely rule out the mythical staying longer, only that it's making a "special appearance". Although that admittedly implies it only appearing in week 2.
Will definitely be interesting.
2x hatch candy is decent, and a shiny magikarp would be nice, but other than that not a lot to interest me.
I have yet to see a shiney, then again, I dont play a ton. How do you know how many stars a pokemon is?
I actually like the idea of making raid hour a special raid differing from the regular boss a lot! I missed the Mesprit raids earlier, so it's a great opportunity to fill my dex. Should be something to do every week as it would also eliminate the raid hour boss migration problem.
Not so excited about the rest, the go fest spawns already felt like a water event as Qwark said. And dear god if I see even more Barboachs
