Art_de_Cat Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Does powering up a gym badge do anything for you aside aesthetics? Now that my pokemon can hold their own, been trying to get into gyms more. I also held onto more balls than potions before. But now im a bit more selective on pokes to catch. Will use my gym earnings for upgrades. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I have 1 Articuno and 1 Moltres. Haven't attempted Zapdos yet. I'm 0/3 (maybe 4....can't remember) on Lugia. I just want one of each for Pokedex completion. I'm not one of these people who need like 6 of each legendary for some reason, although on some level I do appreciate them because we have so few players in my area that they're basically required for us to have enough people to do raids. If I don't get Zapdos or Lugia, I'll be pretty upset, because my only goal is Pokedex completion. I give less than a shit about training my Pokemon. Hopefully Niantic bring back legendaries relatively soon so that you (and my IRL friends) have more chances to catch them. The only reason I've been able to get the 2 that I have is because I've gone out of my way to drive to places where raids were happening. It's really inconvenient. But my friends don't so much have the ability to do that, and a lot of other people don't either. Niantic isn't very considerate of those people. Quote Link to comment

Easy to solo and, in addition to the Karp, you can still get some nice Raid Boss prizes, like the Golden Razz berries, Rare Candies or TMs. Not as much as the higher level raids, obviously.

Art_de_Cat Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Trip to beach was helpful in boosting electric and steel numbers oddly enough. Defended two gyms to boot. Magnemites and electrodes abounded. Hell during a storm near a museum on Hatteras, encountered a magnemite rave party! Literally 10-12 appeared at once on my screen! Oddly none of the mareep line appeared at the lighthouses. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

Nice. Too bad I was busy at the time of the raid though. Maybe if it comes back I'll see if I can give it a try. Got my character up to lv 13 in Pokemon Go. Caught some good Pokemon too. A couple of Swinubs, a Sudowoodo, a Nidoran male and a Hoothoot (to use as candy in order to evolve one of my others into a Noctowl). Got some more Pokeballs, items and an egg from a gym earlier too. All in all, a pretty nice day. Edited August 9, 2017 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So caught two Zapdos. First time it took my second premier ball, and on the second one I caught it on the first try. Can't believe it. I'm glad the legendary birds are done though for the first gen. Wonder if we will get Ho-Oh before summer ends? Quote Link to comment

Best way to use a free pass if you haven't gotten your free daily one too. Also keep in mind you can't hatch a Karp anymore, so this is one of the best ways to get a high IV one.

Doc Brown Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Dammit I'm jealous of you guys. I don't get a lot of Pokemon where I'm at. Some stuff sure, but I wish there was some more variety. Nothing like hatching an egg in Pokemon Go. Did around 15 or so laps in my yard… moved it up a couple of small kilometers. So now it’s 3.8 kms out of 5. Also found and caught a Caterpie, which I then transferred into some Caterpie candy. And saw that one of my area Gyms is having a Jolteon raid. Wish I could switch out buddies without losing any progress, I'd love to switch to something less common. Edited August 10, 2017 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment

My highest Zap is only right on 80%. Would like a 93% to match my highest Moltres and Articuno. Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Did some walking today to hatch an egg via Walmart. Got a damn Hoppip. But that aside, found a Beedrill, a Natu, a Raticate, a Paras, a Nidoran male, an Eevee (who is now my new buddy, switched up since they're harder to come by and I need to gather up some Eevee candies), a Marill and a Poliwag. Not too shabby . Need to get some more Pokeballs via Gyms and Pokestops though. I'm running low. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I caught a Lugia this morning, so now I have all four of them. Lugia, Articuno, and Moltres are "wonders". Zapdos just "caught his attention". Can I only use the IV calculator if I have what their initial stats are? Because I already powered up the three "wonders" and don't remember.

L'Arachel Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 So. Many. Unown. I actually caught a few more than are shown here even. Never thought I'd get sick of them, but I saw another half dozen or so that I didn't even bother catching. EH_STEVE 1 Quote Link to comment
