Do you not wait to throw the balls. Go look it up on youtube. I'm sure there are videos of it. They aren't that hard to catch. I think I've only missed 4 Ttars now out of the 30+ that I've done. The legendaires are a bit harder but I think I still have above a 70% catch rate. I have only tried to catch a few Raikou. I've caught a couple in AR mode, with Pinaps and just messing around. I'm 10/15 on those. Only tried to catch 3 I believe.

In desperate need of an event or update, and I highly doubt Mewtwo satisfies that.

Same on one hand I'm half way to lvl 40, but I just don't really care. I get my Dailys, haven't bother with a Raikou raid yet. If Mewtwo is invite only, and my wife/side don't get invites I wont care to try that much.

Money for Raid Passes doesn't interest me. The catch is cool, but to much stress that I don't actually like trying. I enjoyed hatching eggs, but there all worthless now.

I would like a fun event with double spawns. The Halloween was still my favorite time to play the game, but otherwise I just dread getting home to pick up my other phone to drive a few blocks to catch and spin 1 stop and go back.

I was trying to do 1 raid a day, but Ive done maybe 3 in the last 7 days.

Trying for groups is either boring, takes to long or some guy is like well lets wait 10 mins, we have nothing else to do... then 8 mins later of someone else is 10 mins away lets wait. Naw I'm good bro, we have 15 do it and leave, sitting around for an hour for 1 raid isn't worth my time.


I still want them to allow solo raids, half the CP and you pick either Rewards or chance to catch.

[Josh611]

Solo raids won’t happen. The point of the game is to interact with others.

I’ve soloed all tier 3s besides Flareon and Jolteon which are next to impossible. Jolteon May be impossible.

I usually use my daily pass on a tier 3 if no one is around and I don’t have a lot of time.

Caught 2 more Unowns yesterday. 5 popped up alone yesterday and only 2 have popped in the last 2 weeks it seemed. Letters M and L now to go with O and R. Some dude in our area posted a picture of his Gold badge for catching all 26 Unowns

That dude has to be a spoofer, and no one is going to tell me otherwise haha

Maybe, it's hard to believe that people have done it but there's several Facebook, Messenger and Discord groups specifically for Unown in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that post whenever Unowns pop up. Is scanning cheating? Yea probably, but it's not spoofing as you still need to drive to the area and hope you make it before the time runs out. That's how I've gotten my 4 is from following those groups and people posting whenever they pop. Now that it seems they've been coming up more and more the idea of getting 26 isn't as tough as it first use to seem.

And if hes a big player/spender.

Chicago and Worlds I think were released for the 2 events. If he went there, that's almost half the letters.

I know I'm in a Discord for like a 45 mile radius and theres an unkown almost every other day, but there usually an hour + from me, so not going to make it there in time.

Now in my local discord, weve had 1 or 2 show up in like 3 months lol.

[petesahuttt]

I wish my discord group spotted Unowns, I've yet to see even one, live or in a gym.

[chrisfaceoff]

We've maybe had about 7 pop up here that hit the scanners since they went live. And the weird thing is 2 of them were on thee same day twice. They don't pop often here in PA.

[mikecamp99]

I was just reading how some people think more Unowns are popping up with Mewtwo on the way. Not sure if they are related at all or not, but now more people are starting to get Exclusive Raid passes here locally along with more Unowns popping up.

[Josh611]

Someone I know is only missing 2 and is not a spoofer. He lives right in the middle of a very large area that is scanned so he can get to everything in less than 30 minutes.

[matpat21]

Unown is last one I need too, contemplating that Philly event in hopes of maybe finding one there. I'm a little less than an hour outside of NYC so anything popping in my radius would be in the city and while I check when I'm there, no way am I driving in NYC specifically just for that.

[screamingdc]

Got an EX pass for this friday. Unfortunately that's a work day for me, and I can't believe I'm actually contemplating using a sick day for it.

[doobypenguin]

Got an EX raid pass as well. Pretty pumped for Friday. It sucks that a lot of people who raided a lot but not do so at a Sprint store got screwed with this.

ON another note today, i caught a perfect Dratini cp 575 and then 30 minutes later caught an Unown letter 'B'. That makes 7! 3 more for the silver badge! Did 2 raids today, but i've been gaining very little xp these past few days. trying to get the remaining 750k by the end of the weekend to hit 39 it would be nice to hit lvl 39 at the mewtwo raid though, but no way that's happening.

[chrisfaceoff]

Yea none of our Sponsored locations are gyms. Only stops. This sucks! I want my pass dammit!

[screamingdc]

[Soxrule111]

Congrats on the Mewtwo.

I saw someone post in the local discord they caught one, but not sure who/where.

Hoping to land Mewtwo soon, but mostly so I don't stress that I missed out on him.

Another couple days passed, still haven't gone after a Raikou.

The last Raid I actually did was on 9/9/17.

[chrisfaceoff]

Got a 98% Raikou over the weekend, but I am really over it now. I only keep doing them to get to Level 40. I'm about half way through 39. As soon as I get it, I don't know what I will do haha.

If you don't mind me asking, how much Money have you put into the game since the raids came out?

[chrisfaceoff]

I think $200. I bought the $100 coins twice, but the first one may have been a little bit before the raids started. if they were, it wasn't too much before it.

I've done almost 100 Raikou in addition to all the others but those werent nearly as much. Roughly about 40-50 each of the others.

same. $200. i've done 77 raikou mostly for xp purposes, but i finally saw my first perfect legendary of any kind on Saturday. Caught it on the first ball! so yeah powering up this perfect 1913 raikou.

My mewtwo was caught on the 2nd ball, i don't know if i crit caught it or if it was just a normal catch because my game froze on the animation and then it said i caught it. 84.4%.

I'm so ready for the next legendary because raikou's just so stale right now for me. i've slowed down a little on raids, but i'll still do a double or triple raikou on a lucky egg if the opportunity arises.

The best thing however happened this morning when i hatched a female Togepi!
I've officially finished my gender dex!!!
Got all the genders for the 239 pokemon that I could catch in Virginia.

[screamingdc]

another round of EX passes came out today. This time it's for Sprint and Starbucks gyms, both sponsors of the game. I got another EX pass for the same location as the last one. Did a Raikou raid there about 10 days ago, and have only done the Mewtwo raid there since.

Lucky SOB haha.

How many showed up for the first one?

[Divino]

New event starting.

• Double Stardust
• Triple XP on new Pokedex entries
• Super Incubators that hatch 1.5X faster
• 2km eggs hatching Larvitar, Mareep, and Chancy
• Special packages in the shop.
Starts 2pm Friday and goes till 10/2.

Meh...double stardust is cool, but I'm not really interested in buying and burning through incubators on these "special" 2K eggs. Another cash grab from niantic on incubator sales.

Thats kinda where I'm at with it. I'm going to catch a ton, but i'm not buying the packages unless they have raid passes in them, or they are really beneficial towards lucky eggs.

I'm right at the half way mark between 39 and 40.
