Mobile (iOS/Android) Pokemon Go

[Vooligan]

Thanks, good to hear. I've got one at my workplace when I actually have time to do it for a change.

Good luck with it.

Kyogre is now appearing in raid battles.

Anyone playing on Apple devices: the game will no longer be supported on devices that can't run iOS 11 starting from March.

I don’t play this so I’m very much out of the loop and I tried searching the thread first and I can’t find any other mention but I’m hoping someone might be able to help me out.

I just finished watching episode one of Breaking Mysterious called The Watchers on History Channel. It was about how everybody (in the US but presumably everybody else too) with a smart phone could be an unwitting CIA spy. Probably the first half of the episode concentrated on Pokemon Go and how every bit of its development and continual upkeep allegedly ties back to the CIA. I’m not a tin foil hat sort of person, just love a good espionage or conspiracy story.

It was hard to track down more info to explain what I’m rambling about but I found this. Anyone who has followed it more closely I would love some links for further reading or whacky paranoid YouTube videos or whatever.

How's everyone's Kyogre raids going?

I did 17 Legendary raids on Saturday (a mixture of Groudon and Kyogre) and caught about 8 of them in total. No decent ones unfortunately. But my partner, who is a very casual player, caught a weather boosted, CP2850~ 96IV Kyogre... I'm pretty jealous.

I caught 1 from 4 attempts (X12 balls each time too.)

Too hard IMO, I got lucky to hit mine with the second last ball I had. It was 96% IV too, not weather boosted, but I really hated trying to catch Kyogre.

Kyogre is ******* tough to catch.

 

[Vooligan]

Kyogre is ******* tough to catch.

Certainly is. First few I missed majority of my balls.

I think the trick is patience. Wait for it to move, then throw a ball. Otherwise it just moves around too much to randomly throw a ball.

If it isn't moving it's blocking the balls. So frustrating.

I had one do 4 attacks in succession that nearly made me throw my phone.

Never seen a legendary do that many attacks in a row before and it nearly broke me.

I saw a Kyogre raid on a nearby gym today, looked nice as I walked past and left it alone.

Hatched a Barboach from a 2km egg yesterday, so gen 3 has finally made it into eggs.

 

[Vooligan]

Anyone doing anything for community day tomorrow? Three hours of double XP, three hour lures, and increased Pikachu spawns which will have surf as one of its attacks.

One of my local parks full of pokestops is going to be hosting an unofficial gathering. So far 100(ish) people have said they're attending, mainly in the hope of triggering an EX raid. NTRabbit if you live near Morphett Vale I highly recommend a visit to the park.

What time is this on?

 

[Vooligan]

What time is this on?

1.30pm - 4.30pm at Wilfred Taylor Reserve.

 

[NTRabbit]

I know the place, used to play basketball next to there a lifetime ago, short drive away. I guess I'll head down if I can drag myself up. Is there a particular spot, or people just wandering around for the duration?

I think near the basketball arena is the place they’re heading, but sometimes it’s the other side where the miniature train station is.

 

[NTRabbit]

So yeah, I didn't make it in the end, little early in the day for me. I'm sure I missed out on all sorts of cool stuff.

 

[kangle4]

Completely forgot the event was on until I randomly went into the game to see what was around and there was a Pikachu on screen which reminded me that there was ones with surf available today. Glad I managed to get at least one.

 

[NTRabbit]

I think the reason I'm most annoyed with myself, aside from missing a surf Pikachu and a rare chance to raid, is that - more by chance than design - I had 4 eggs sitting at 9.6km that I could have hatched for double double xp with the event and a lucky egg. Oh well.

Finally hatched a Lapras, got an 86% Snorlax to replace the below 50% one I caught a year ago, then less interestingly hatched a Porygon and a Sudowoodo, so not even a gen3. Did that and all available evolutions under a lucky egg, found a wild grimer for the first time, and pokedex is now 255/284

 

[Vooligan]

Gee this game is unfair sometimes. Seanybruz, who has done nearly 600 T5 raids, still hasn't gotten an EX pass. Meanwhile, I started a new account on Thursday last week, and got an EX pass this morning. Stupid system.

 

[Vooligan]

Next community day is on 24th of February and it features Dratini and triple stardust.

 

[Phone]

idea: community day but not always on saturday

 

[Upgrayedd]

Got two Shiny Pikachu's

I liked it. We had quite a few people down at the local park since there has been 3 ex raids in a row down there now.


Got myself a 100% IV Aron as well this morning.

 

[Vooligan]

Had a great day with the catches yesterday. 100iv Aron, 100iv Abra, 100iv Charmander (lvl34 too!), 96iv Kyogre, and two Dragonites caught with a Pinap berry. Very happy.

 

[NTRabbit]

Already picked up Whismur, a keeper Numel, and Baltoy of the new batch.

Pokedex update is good, I can now tell you I have 138 Kanto, 81 Johto, and 40 Hoenn without scrolling
