If there are any posters here who live or have reason to pass through Kinnerty it might be worth their while taking the gyms there. I got gold in both from one visit.

No idea where that is.... But I know a few places like that.... One in fact, one visit, got Gold 18+days later and got kicked out about 2hrs later, perfect timing

Saying here that lugia "should" be easier to catch, any extra % would be welcome..

We will know tomorrow, as usual the gyms will be closed here at release time.... Talk of Shiny, guy slagged me in my local group when I posted my previous Lugia collection and said (tongue in cheek) that I wasn't interested, that they would have to have it Shiny for folks like me..... 2 hours later Trainertips said the same

Will be interesting to see what team sizes are required this time around , i recall min of 10 required last time around , and know of 2 raids with 11 that failed , but now most people are at higher levels with better counters too.
Only caught one last time around (1/4) and 78%IV so happpy enough to add to that , Im a bit on the fence on how useful Lugia is in game/raids , lower DPS but great bulk.

I'm level 36 with some decent counters, according to Poke Battler it could be done with 5 people with similar pokemon. For comparison it said 3 for Rayquaza. So I expect probably we will actually need ~7 most of the time for Lugia as not everyone in our local group uses the most optimum pokemon.

Thirdfox · 16-03-2018 12:58pm

I think it's technically 3 persons minimum (but that's with perfect network connection and perfect shadowclaw gengars

) - so realistically it's 7 for safety - that's with raikous/zapdos etc.

Ttars will be great too obviously. As are golems.

13, and we had over a minute and a half left. Felt easier than last summer anyway

RobbingBandit · 17-03-2018 1:17pm

Got it handy enough with 7 this morning (weather boosted), could definitely do it with 6.

Angron · 17-03-2018 2:56pm

Beat Lugia with 7 earlier, but two were fairly low level with not very good counters so it would be easy enough to beat with smaller numbers but better levels.

mcgovern · 17-03-2018 5:02pm

Got myself a shiny Lugia this morning, someone else from our group got a 100% IV, Weather boosted, shiny Lugia

0/5 myself on Lugia today - don’t mind too much, it’s the shiny I really want!

That's unlike you. How come the low catch-rate? I heard Lugia is meant to be easier to catch too but that's not looking likely from people's results...

I haven't had a chance to make any Lugia raids yet but I'm hoping I have luck on my side to catch the bloody thing!

No idea - only difference is that the locking circle technique doesn’t work for Lugia, had a lot of great and excellent throws but no joy. Like I said though, it’s the shiny I want, as long as I get one I’m not too bothered about regular Lugia.

Hopefully you manage to catch the shiny bugger!

It seems that shiny Lugia is close to auto catch.

Yeah, I read that too. Only thing is, how lucky do you have to be to actually get the chance to see one? If it's anything like the normal shiny odds, I don't fancy my chances if I need to attend hundreds of raids!

AMGer · 18-03-2018 12:00am

Apparently it’s like a 1 in 20 chance for shiny Lugia

Might be a day or two before I get out to try a raids!

Ok, two raid related question as to date I've only duoed/soloed 1s and 2s. First of all does the raid boss attack all pokemons or only one of them in a multi person raid? Because in some duos I feel I was the only one attacked forcing me to constantly dodge and lowering my DPS by comparison. Secondly currently at 31 when does it make sense to start joining level 5 raids? I don't want to be a risk or drag the raiding team down but at 31 I don't exactly feel like my 'mons (usually 80 to 90%) would add much either; currently thinking waiting until about 35 or so before starting them (I know that's a ton of exp away from 31).

To answer your questions.

1. The raid boss attacks all players at the same time.
2. Raid now! The XP gained will help you get to an even higher level quicker.

100% agree.
No point waiting. Lower level is only an issue if there are 4-5 ppl there. With 10-15 in a group you could still beat it if all are level 28.

Just like others have said, just get in. When groups are large you'll be flying it.

Definetly target machamp raids, i find a good team of fightning mons to most useful.

Took a good 20 raids, but I finally got a shiny Lugia
