Isalie Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I got my first EX raid pass, it's vs Mewtwo right? It's my first and the good news is that I will probably be in the vicinity regardless of the raid, the bad news is that it's a kind of awkward time and not many people raid at the local gym (that I know of). Is there like some bottom amount of raid passes handed out to make sure enough people show up to beat Mewtwo or should I expect to leave empty handed?

Is there like some bottom amount of raid passes handed out to make sure enough people show up to beat Mewtwo or should I expect to leave empty handed? Usually at least 20 passes are handed out, and people show up early. You can also low-man MewTwo pretty easily; 5 is doable with most accounts, and 3 is doable with 3 strong accounts. Good luck! Check this out to give you an idea of how to catch it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isalie Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thx! I'll have to keep the attack animation in mind if I get that far.. Btw, I accidentally transfered a shiny Sunkern and have yet to find another one. I blame the board, it should have informed me that they existed, that way I would've known to look for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re hoping this problem with the shinies not being identifiable is a glitch that will be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Nah. Some shinies are really obvious, some aren't. They are contractually obligated to make the artwork match in-game, and that's just what the in-game system is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glitch I’m talking about is that apparently you don’t get that swirling flash of light that you normally get with a shiny, so you know you caught one. I’ve been saving everything until I look at my list of caught Pokémon so that I don’t accidentally delete one. They still have the signature stars above them.

Kalbear Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Ah, right. That's going to be fixed when they fix the stupid camera crap, which apparently is "real soon'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 'are you sure you want to delete this shiny pokemon?' dialogue and hit 'yes' before thinking. Immediately I realised what I was doing, quit out of the game, restarted it and found the game hadn't executed the command. Presto! Shiny Sunkern.

Btw, is it worth it to power up umbreon to fight mewtwo? For any other psychic id just use the regular high cp ones.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MewTwo is a very easy raid, and you should have more than enough people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think my local messenger group is moving to discord. It does seem like more people seem to use it and we can separate the chit-chat from the raid info. I personally haven't, but I found I was in a MD group I had no idea I had been added to. Weird. (might have been when I joined one of the local fb pages, I guess. I just don't remember ever making an account) It was suggested that Discord be used for worldcons so I wanted to learn how to use it and see if it would be possible. I'm thinking about what it would take to set it up and how to make it functional for the cons (and if it could be closed 11 months of the year) and maybe even make it for all AR games (ok, I know of 2, but everyone keeps talking about the Harry Potter one coming out "sometime"). It would certainly require having the link published with the con info or in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 These are the quests to catch the Celebi (sucks that most of us had just finished walking and evolving Eevee.) I don't know if the day you you're on will count in step 6 the "spin pokestops 7 days in a row" quest or not. I'm hoping that it will, so if a person is on day 5, it will only be 2 days until they gat the day 7 award/complete the task.

The point of many of these quest tasks is to slow you down, spacing out the special research tasks, so the committed players don't finish them in two days and then complain about a lack of new content.

(I tried to edit my previous post, but it wouldn't let me) That's similar to the "Achieve level 25" quest from the Mew challenge. It's not like they can knock you down levels or take away your medals, so that makes sense that those would be automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If you happen to have gotten your first spin of the day AFTER your celebi quest it'll count that as a day. (it did for me). I'm all done with the quest. It was fun, but not as fun as Mew was. Also, a fire event where fire types rarely spawn kind of sucks for all these quests that say 'catch 5 fire' or 'evolve 10 fire' or whatever. Bah.
