    Correction; Houndoom raids will come full stop. Niantic will claim it was met no matter how many battles are done as always.

    I think they changed the requirements for this.one as Pigeot was 275 million mega raids this is 275 million battles of any and all types but yeah it'll probably happen either way I think Pigeot is being released at or during the flying cup in GBL

    Did ok out of it, got 9 shinies, none good, but there was a wild hundo porygon here (Limerick), cue mad dash to find it after another player kindly called it out. Got him :)

    There was a wild Axew here on Saturday as well, didn't dash as I wouldn't have made it

    Oh wow, I've never seen Axew in the wild. Hatched a small few, and did a lucky trade, and still haven't gotten one over 90%.

    I've hatched one, and lucky traded him, he still went sh1te but he's evolved to Haxorus now.
    Oh, other rant, I did a lucky trade of shiny rayquaza like for like with a friend, mine went 12-12-12 :mad:

    Happy that we're finally getting the shiny for Origin Giratina, been long enough since the other one got the shiny in the game.

    I have so many lucky friends that I have no idea when I'll see them. A shame we don't have remote trading for luckies or something.

    Pokemon Sword and Shield direct at 2pm last time we got Galar Pokemon I'm hoping for Ponyta if it happens again, the monthly research box changes on Thursday at 9pm Shedinja is October one.

    Why has it changed from a random legendary to the same one for a month? 4 Alolan Raichu aint much use to anyone!

    Because the vast majority of PoGo Players, especially those better described as PoGo payers, are incapable of catching a legendary in any reasonable number of throws, and get right sulky if they're not being handed "good" catches for free. For these folks (whose parents' credit cards pay the PoGo bill for us all) having 4 chances at an easy catch "rare" is a bare minimum.

    Niantec / "The Pokemon Company" had to make a call between:
    - Losing crappy, but high-paying, players
    - making legendaries as easy to catch as a ratata
    - swapping in alternative "rare" pokemon for the guaranteed low-effort weekly catch.

    Gameplay-wise it's not what I'd have done, but business-wise it was probably the best of a bad set of options.

    It wasn't open but you could reach the spawn area from outside the park

    It's very rarely a legendary pokemon, most of the time it's something you'd been able to catch in the wild but might be rare etc.

    I knew it would happen eventually, but losing some of the benefits we had is a shame.

    I just wished I hadn't topped up on Incense yesterday. Almost useless to me now.
