Pokemon Go

[Raekwon]

Got my second Mewtwo this weekend and a 91%. There was only about 10 people there and Airdrie had another one the next day also. Hopefully they fix the system.

I came to the game late. Played a bit in 2016 when it launched, but didn’t even hit 20 then. Picked it back up around Gen 2 launch and been playing a lot since.

I tend to really try to min/max when I play games, so I really heavily base my play around events. Almost all (99%) of the evolutions I’ve ever done have been during double exp with a lucky egg. Sometimes we hit 2 legendary raids in a 30 minute window and do them with a lucky egg going for 40k exp, but I haven’t gone too crazy with raids.

My brother and I generally play in the deep SE in the Mckenzie Towne area. When we venture elsewhere we generally go to the reservoir near Glenmore Landing. Lots of stops and spawns there. Sometimes downtown.

My total experience right now is just over 12.3 million. I think if I do things right I can get 5 million during this event. Since I’m not working I can afford to play during the day. I plan to do my 500 or so evolutions once double experience starts, then clear out all that storage space and go to cross iron mills to grind more evolution trash. There are around 30 stops and gyms in the mall, and it spawns craploads of common Pokémon. If I can get anywhere near exhausting my candy supply I’ll consider it a success. Have around 5500 pidgey candy and several thousand for every other common.

It’ll all be about how many commons I can grind. 5500 pidgey candy is 1.1 million exp just from evolutions at 2000 per, since the evolution gives 1 candy, then transferring gives 1 more. But in the process of catching 550 pidgeys, I’d collect another 1650 candy, worth 330k more exp. catching 550 pidgeys with my go plus would be another 330k exp, assuming a lucky egg running at all times. Same goes for all the other commons, in lesser quantities.

I’ve put way too much thought into this.

I haven't played since last year but I enjoyed it a lot when I did - just too many issues with the game so now I'm living vicariously through this thread.

I assume you bought some bag/pokemon space with $? Or do you get coin rewards with raids now?

[Aegypticus]

I maxed out my storage mostly from gym defending. You need a little under 9 hours a day to get the max of 50 coins. Haven’t missed a day for a few months now.

I won’t pretend I’m completely free-to-play, but I’m sure I average under 15 bucks a month spent. Probably even lower. I only put in a few bucks when I really need some incubators or a gift box our something.

Yeah it sucks.
The Discord here now has a 'sponsored' gyms section added, so at least I have hit one raid now that has previously dished out Ex raid passes - but it needs to be different than it is.
Hit a couple doubles today, which is nice. Almost 100K per using lucky egg.

[Aegypticus]

We should be on track to unlock Farfetch’d late this afternoon or this evening. Make sure you catch it!

[EldrickOnIce]

Got Ho-Oh tonight in the only non Suicune Raid to pop in our discord. He is now available until Dec 12

[malcolmk14]

Hit level 38 on the weekend. Didn't get Ho-Oh yesterday as I was working late. Gonna try for 2-3 raids after work today.

[You Need a Thneed]

Caught a 98% Ho-oh this morning!

[Raekwon]

Fought him but didn't catch him, my kid got him so back at it for me tonight.

[malcolmk14]

0/1 on catching too. 2201 CP!

[EldrickOnIce]

Everyone here having lots of trouble too. I guess because he is so close. I must be lucky, am 4/4 so far.

[MRCboicgy]

1/1 @ 2206

[FlameOn]

3/5 except all three I caught were on my baby accounts and not my main. Arg!

[You Need a Thneed]

My main account is 2/5. My kids’ account (level 24) is 4/5.

[Aegypticus]

Event is over. I got a little over 7.2 million exp during it, so I blew my 5 million goal out of the water. Roughly 420k left until I hit 40.

So on days we get windy snowstorms, do stronger or weaker Dragonites show up?

Good call.

According to our research, Pokemon that are boosted during specific weather conditions receive a guaranteed IV set, below which the Pokemon can’t spawn. Similar to Raid Bosses and Eggs, we expect that a minimum guaranteed set of weather IVs will be 10, 10, 10 or slightly lower.

Weather won't be active for some time yet.
