Thanks, I try not to stress about IVs anymore, I'm mostly trying to collect the Pokémon I need and catch what I can without worrying too much, but I can't deny having a good one escape would completely suck.

Today sucked, but I'll get over it fairly soon. The Mewtwo was only slightly better than the one I already had.

The extra bag space from using the Rare Candy is liberating, and there's basically no reason for me to get another Mewtwo other than being potential trade fodder. Niantic really needs to confirm if trading will ever come at some point.

I hatched a Feebas from my 10K egg, so that was a bright spot. It's a good thing that your trip was worthwhile.

Yeah, I guess I'd use all the rare candy I have been hoarding on a mewtwo.

If I ever get the chance to catch one.

What I do know for certain is that the number of raids, raid level, and your Gym Badge status has no effect on your chance of getting a pass. You just to be at the right place at some magical time period. If Niantic said otherwise, then they're lying..

Agreed , over the holidays there was a Romanian guy who came out on one day to do some raids - he did 2 back to back with us and for the second one it was his one and only interaction with the gym and he got an ex raid pass for it

Just read about the iOS 11 news. Welp, I currently use an iPhone 5C because my 6S was stolen, so that sucks. My sister has a spare 5S, but I don't really want to ask her for it indefinitely until I get a new phone, which might have to wait till May or June :/

I take it all back. The spawns are totally depressing since the event finished.

I was just spoiled in the first couple of days post-event because I was hanging out by a water spawn and drowning in Wailmers, Barboachs and Carvanhas.

This shook me a bit. On the bright side, I caught a boosted 2900cp earlier in the day (98iv) so whatever, I guess. Perfect Kyogre is still a goal though. It's in my top 5 Pokemon of all time.

I went like 0/5 for Groudon yesterday. None of them were all that good, but still, that sucked haha

Still haven't even seen a hundo, but that's ok. I have my 98.

Not sure if Lotad is only out when raining, but they sure do spawn a lot more when it rains. Raining earlier today and yesterday, so they were spawning a good bit.

Also, now over 1/2 mark for my Wailmer!

But somehow, it fits neatly into a poke ball!


Also, speaking of Tarous, I caught 2 today wondering around. They were not weather powered or anything either. Weird.

I really think that it does only come out in the rain. I work in a water biome and we get every water type imaginable here, yet I haven't seen even one Lotad.

But just now, it started raining in game and already a Lotad has spawned.

It is annoyingly rare. I only saw 2 during 'rainy day' and they both have awful IVs. But apparently some people have got them from eggs so maybe there's some hope!

Here's to hoping the eggs stay what they are for awhile. Getting gen 3 water types from green tier and orange tier eggs are really helpful for where I live.

I missed a 98% IV Wailmer by a second due to a red light I was so mad. Been waiting for a good one in order to evolve it since I have like 500+ candies

I got one Lotad in the rain. I can get almost everything I need from nests, so it's Wailord and Milotic that will take me several months to evolve.

I'm 3/4 for Groudon this whole period. Still been hard for me after that Mewtwo, but I have the firepower to easily solo Machamp. I'll try Alakazam and Gengar when I get the chance.

I've been playing in Windy weather, and I've never seen a Dragon spawn.

They're dropping support for devices that can't upgrade to ios11 at the end of February.

Yeah, so long Pokemon GO. I'm not sure when I can afford a new phone, but I won't be able to buy a new one before that deadline. Maybe many months after. I wonder if I will pick up the game again after all that time. I think I probably won't. It's a routine right now to play, but if I break the routine I have a hard time seeing me return to it. The game isn't exactly super fun.

It's something that was going to happen sooner or later. The frustration is growing everyday over EX Raids to the point where whole communities are gathering to experiment on gyms hoping to get a EX pass.

I myself have changed how I raid because of the research. I am only raiding in gyms that either have had an EX Raid take place previously or gyms that are actually located in the parks themselves regardless of raid lvl.

Oh what do you know, it's raining and there's a Lotoad a block away. Don't mind if I do.

I can only fit six mass evolves in three hours. But I only need a bit over 600k exp for 40. :thinking:

Community Day sounds good. If I'm free I'll definitely head into central London and get involved. I wonder which are the special Pokemon that will be available, regionals?

I had gotten my hopes up for a second there. I don't get this, why not keep support for devices running iOS 9 or 10 until they officially drop support for those versions? Just let me play with my iPhone 5C for a while until I get a new phone, which will probably be in a few months, around July most likely. If I stop playing for a few months because of this I might actually stop playing PGo altogether.

Also, it seems like they're already releasing Kyogre.

Kyogre, the Water-type Legendary Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region, is now appearing in Raid Battles around the world! Keep an eye out for Kyogre at Gyms near you, and you may be one of the first to catch this Legendary Pokémon. But don't delay—Kyogre will only be available until 1:00 P.M. PST on February 14, 2018. Good luck, Trainers!

While I'm glad they're releasing him for the weekend, I think they are making a mistake. Should have released him on the 20th.
