Pokémon GO

[Lee]

Matrix, you have no luck with this game.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I really don't. But the last couple days I really haven't been able to go out hunting to be fair. I'm sure I'll get a couple at least before the event ends.

 

[Khalifa]

I still haven't found Sableye.

Yeah I'm with ya, but also in the same boat as your other post. Really have let pokemon go slip the last couple months. Thought the event would get me back into it but just haven't got it. Hopefully the rest of gen 3 helps that out.

 

[Lee]

Hey sableye hunters I've found that Sableye shows up a lot more after 8:30pm so if you need one, hunt then.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Had one pop up last night and it vanished a second later. And then I went to a pokestop where it said it was, and it decided not to show up.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Tonight I just had a Sableye take off on me, meanwhile my father caught a shiny one.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Finally caught a Sableye today.

Managed to do the following this week:

• Finally evolved Magikarp

• Reached level 32

• Got my first 3000+ CP Pokemon (Tyranitar)

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Could use another Crocanaw raid and catch during this event. Did one today and now if I get another one before the event ends I can evolve it.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Anyone get a Mewtwo yet? I mean, besides me?

Also, I can solo Machamp raids now. Pretty sweet.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I haven't seen a Machamp raid since I caught mine months ago, disappointing because I wouldn't mind a better one.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Man where the hell do you live? I mean, I don't really live in a big city but there's a lot of gyms and pretty much every one of them has multiple raids a day.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I have to go downtown in the next city to find a bunch of gyms. But within about a 5 minute drive of me there's 3 gyms and 5 pokestops. I see more legendary, Magmar, Magikarp and Electrabuzz raids than anything else by far.

 

[Lee]

Yeah I checked his place on a tracking map once and it was grim.

Still no Ex raids in my town.

 

[Dave]

There's been a few in Glasgow but it seems to have glitched. The people that got them the first time got the same invite for the next week, at the same place, at the same time. Strange.

 

[Lee]

Yeah the theory is it's to do with sponsored stops. A guy from our discord's written to Niantic about sponsoring a gym in Newcastle.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah it's all been at Sprint Stores or Starbucks here. Just did a Suicune raid at the Sprint Store in the mall, where I got the Mewtwo. Hoping to get another pass.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Evolved the gen 3 pokemon from the event and a Tyrouge tonight which thankfully became Hitmontop. Up to 225 caught.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Level 37.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

After doing a Croconaw raid today and catching it I just need 1 more catch of one with a pineapple before I can evolve it.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I love that Charmelon is a raid boss now. Might get a Charizard soon now. Caught one today with a pineapple.

 

[Dave]

I'm actually a fan of them changing the Raid Bosses... With the exception of a few. Metapod as a boss is beyond silly. And the same goes for Sableye. We just had an event bloody full of them! There's no way I'll do one. The evolved starters from Gen 1 are good though. I'm still looking for a Venusaur, so this bodes well.

My brother pointed out something interesting today though. Apart from 2 or 3 Pokemon, all of the raid bosses are from Gen 1. More proof that they'll eventually phase them out as Gen 3 becomes more prevalent.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Metapod is a raid boss? Jeez and I thought Cloyster was a terrible raid boss. I would have rathered they gave Taurus, Mr. Mime, etc. to everybody as raid bosses. But then again they'd probably make them level 4 or 5 where it'd be impossible for 2 people to take down alone.

 

[SD619]

Finally got a Girafarig. Currently at 241 caught and 244 seen.

Hopefully, I can catch a Raikou this weekend.

 

[Lee]

I'm in favour of Metapod as a raid boss. It's an easy wqay to get XP and lets you do a quick raid if you're by yourself and have no time.
