    Seems Laitos and Lugia are gonna share Lugia shiny availability again too so not all bad, I need to get at least on Lugia this time hopefully Saturday after 1pm as there should be a few out in town for community day.

    Lugia coming back was a mistake and already removed.

    For the last month I've only wanted Chimecho to complete my regional dex. These events are getting in the way!

    I'm still shiny karp hunting before I evolve for Mew no sign of any karp in the past week for me I think they're back in tier 1 raids but no wild ones. Potential bonus of this next event is Sol Rock and Lunatone and more Larvitar spawns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Thats if it's goin to be a rock event. Everyone assumes it is but I don't think it's been confirmed.

    If a Tyranitar Boss has Fire Blast, is the move damage boosted in any way during sunny weather?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Yeah, unless it's confirmation bias it does seem that moves hit harder from bosses under the right weather.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Weather boosts would have to work both ways I'd guess it wouldn't be too often a raid boss would have a move set like this though 0 but I'm sure the random combination would exist.

    weather boosts when it comes to battling boosts the move, not the mon itself per se.

    You can see this yourself - if you have a ttar with fire blast - you can see that it does more damage during sunny weather and no boost exists for partially cloudy (rock)/foggy (dark).

    It's also the one case where a tyranitar is better than a dragonite for countering the latios/latias dragons - foggy weather boosting bite/crunch with 20%. I think even then a rayquaza is still better than a weather boosted ttar for damaging the eon twins :D

    I welcome the added bag space, it's just a shame they couldn't have added it during the event where you could get extra items from gyms.

    Yup, must have binned tons of potions/balls during the event. Been a quite week, just waiting on news new for adventure week, some posts on reddit suggesting it will kick off this weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Seen info saying it goes live immediately after community day ends I'd imagine that's the West coast US end not say 1pm Saturday for us.

    First thing I did seeing it was to buy maximum space; I can usually burn through over 500 balls in a week and go in every weekend to a high pokestop location to refill it. Will be great to have room to fill with mainly more balls to throw away in between.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I used up most of my coins, so I'm up to 1900 space now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 865 ✭✭✭Rooy


    Im at 1500 since the last increase , had set limits of what to keep , so going to hold off upgrading for a while.
    This is typically what I do :

    Potion/Super Potion - Discard
    Hyper Potion/Max Potion - max 50 each
    Revive/Max Review - Max 50 each
    TMs - Max 20
    Rare Candy - Max 100
    Regular balls - discard
    Great/Ultra - Max 700 - Probably way too many , but cant bring myself to bin Ultras
    Berries - Max 50 each , but tend to use up when I can by feeding in gyms


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭CraigM84


    Triple stardust for catches tomorrow, will go well with using couple of star pieces! Need to reach the 2 mil mark

    Gonna try concentrate on stardust tomorrow I aim to catch as many as I can in the three hour window have a bunch of star pieces 18 in reserve so well enough to use one every half hour


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Shiny Ho-oh

    SHINY HO-OH

    WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Time to go raiding


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Two snorunt raids successfully one latios unsuccessful was at two ho-oh raids too late everybody was gone got one shiny charizard and one non shiny was too late to evole my second shiny so no blast burn when I do evolve it.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,576 CMod ✭✭✭✭Nody


    I ended up with 3 shiny Charizard but the best was only 50%; oh well... I did however catch a Ho-Oh on my first raid (and then promptly failed to catch another on the next four raids) and finally found a Snorlax in the free to tick that box and it was the last one I did not have that can be hatched! What does annoy me though between doing 5 5*, 2 4*, 1 3* and 1 2* raid (9 raids total) I ended up with 4 candy... Yes 4 beeping candy only from 9 raids... I got 15 berries on one of the legendary raids which really annoyed me :( I hope I'll get more lucky with my EX raid but I doubt I'll catch it with my poor track record :(

    Mewtwo's catch rate is much higher than legendaries - usually about 90% of players get it from a raid. You were very unlucky with the candies from those raids.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Hatched a lileep put me over the 90 threshold getting some weird spawns this evening, Golden and Jynx. Hope this next event starts soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,559 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Did anyone find star pieces ineffective today, didn't seem to get much anything for lucky eggs neither


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Got 8 shiny Charmander, but the big one was I got a shiny Ho-oh on my second raid :D

    I was picking up 450 dust per catch with it on; with triple dust would normally be 300 dust so maths adds up.

    And Angron I got someone who beat you on that one; he got a shiney on his second raid and a second shiney on his third raid which he did 30 min later. So much envy...
