yeah they really spoiled us with this event its hard going back to shit when it was perfect just yesterday

at least give us back the double spawns

I think most people would be happy with just that. Niantic can keep the xp and dust grind. Just give us Poke spawns as you actually have something to do with the app open other than just fucking around at a gym for 5 mins and then having nothing to do cause no spawns.

 

[Qwark]

Apparently Verizon / At&T both refused to bring out mobile cell towers. Verizon then dumbly tried to blame Niantic. lol. Sprint it seems actually listened and brought out a cell tower. I wonder if Sprint users had slightly better odds.

One of my friends was there on Project Fi, which uses Sprint and TMobile. He had better luck, but still had issues, but I believe it bumped him from Sprint to TMobile when Sprint began to be congested.

 

[Vanillalite]

Just did a lunch time raid. I couldn't actually cap though. Was fun for my first raid experience with enough players to win!

 

[GulAtiCa]

I am SO close to my 1st Gold Gym Badge!

 

[Vanillalite]

How long does it take a gym to reset so to speak after a raid battle win?

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

You mean go back to showing the regular gym inhabitants?
As soon as the raid timer is over with. Doesn't matter if you battle it or not.

Yeah that. Thanks!

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

How do I get unown?

 

[gutshot]

How do I get unown?

Use a scanner. Or get really, really lucky.

Damn this is going to be hard since I'm in a rural area and there's no double spawns.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

How do I get unown?

its a 1 in 6 million spawn have to be super lucky but i bet they will do a psychic event that will include unown in it at some point

 

[jstevenson]

they just need to do an unown event so we can collect the alphabet...

sigh

 

[Toki767]

Still so many Lugias out there lol

 

[border]

That is actually the way it works. The accountability in this scenario is the lawsuit lays out the promises of the event, the breaking of those promises and the damages. Both sides will sit down and Niantic will settle the case and move on.

If Space Mountain breaks down and is out of commission, does Disneyworld have to pay for your hotel and airfare expenses?

If you go to a World Series game and it gets rained out, is the MLB obligated to pay for your taxi and hotel stay?

Niantic's only liable for the cost of the ticket. "I didn't have a good time" or "I didn't get what I wanted" is not really grounds to sue for travel expense. Anytime you travel for a concert or event, you're gambling that it won't be cancelled, delayed, or otherwise screwed. That risk kinda has to be on you, and not venues, artists, and promoters.

I suspect Niantic will settle because it's probably cheaper to pay for 30-50 people's plane tickets/hotels than it is to take the case to trial. Hard to say though, because if they give in here it may mean more lawsuits.

 

[psynergylover]

So do the catching for an example "catch 50 ice Pokémon" increase the catch rests for legendaries?

 

[jstevenson]

yes, it averages the two medals (Flying + Ice in the case of Articuno)

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Damn it, barely got to take advantage of the event. Why couldn't they extend it to the weekend when most folks are off?

that's why events every two weeks were a good call. Something to look forward to, the base game is pretty lackluster.

Is that the case now? Haven't been keeping up, but events every two weeks is definitely the direction they should be heading in. I feel like events every weekend should be the norm.. but it's a start. (unless these events are week long ones?)

 

[GulAtiCa]

Before the gym rework about a month ago, there were different Pokemon type events each 2 weeks. Last one was a Fire / Ice combo. Rock before that.

 

[Firemind]

If I understand the Unown badge correctly, you don't need to catch 26 different Unowns. Just 26 Unowns...

 

[jstevenson]

If I understand the Unown badge correctly, you don't need to catch 26 different Unowns. Just 26 Unowns...

I honestly don't even care about the alphabet...

I just want ONE.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

For Unown, look around for local Discord or Slack groups that post rare Pokémon, particularly if they're linked to scanners and have bots that autopost locations. The Phoenix Slack group has a bot that exclusively posts Unown locations (and no one else is allowed to post to the channel, so if you get a notification, it's 100% an Unown) and it's the only reason I have an Unown. Lucking into a catch is functionally impossible and relying on manually spotted postings can be iffy.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

It's all 26 letters. I have like 12 Unown but my badge only says 6.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Man, my Pokemon comes back from local gyms within an hour and never with any coins. I need better defenders.

Also, I just found out you get stardust from feeding pokemon in the gym. Wtf! I usually just discard those berries because their useless. I could have gotten a lot of stardust

 

[Firemind]

Son of a bitch.....

And I thought the Pikachu fan medal was hard.

 

[Luxorek]

Still now Unkown for me. We have a web scanner for our city, but I'm not that desperate to catch it. I'm still adamant there is gonna be a dedicated event for Unown.

 

[HardRojo]

Another Articuno and no one shows up for it. Sucks not being in the city right now, it's a holiday in Peru so I'm out on a trip but still... it sucks.

Edit: And how does the new gym system work? I had a Dragonite for several hours and when it came back it didn't give me any coins.

There's a daily limit of 50 coins.

 

[HardRojo]

Oh, I think I had already gotten 50 coins from another mon.

 

[Vanillalite]

What about just bumping up spawns just over the weekend or just do it every other weekend?

Basically you'd have two weekends a month where you are basically guaranteed spawn activity ie enough to keep people from totally falling off and uninstalling. Yet it would be like that everyday.

 

[Robdraggoo]

My best golem has rock throw/ earthquake. Should I change earthquake for a rock move to prepare for moltres?

 

[RebornYeti]

Started playing again recently and have so far acquired both Lugia and Articuno which is awesome. I do like the Raid structure and it has indeed reignited my desire to go out with friends and play. I can't wait until they release Moltres and Zapdos.

Oh and I also finally acquired a King's Rock and I now have a Slowking, so that's awesome as well.

 

[Firemind]

Only if you want one with high ivs. Otherwise, nah. Save your tms.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

So my 100% Golem will be good to power up for Zap and Moltres?

</unstealthystealthbrag>

 

[Toki767]

When do those special boxes go away?

I have 500 coins from gyms right now. Thinking of getting that 480 box just to have 6 raid passes.

 

[BigJonsson]

0/7 trying to capture a Legendary, at least the experience is good

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

So is Legendary raid experience 6500 now?

 

[Toki767]

So is Legendary raid experience 6500 now?

I got 10K XP for doing Lugia today.

 

[jstevenson]

I got 10K XP for doing Lugia today.

yup it's 10k now

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Damn, nice. I was loving the 13K from the event, but 10K is certainly good enough haha.

 

[AlexFlame116]

So I'm still clueless sorry. When you're capturing the Pokémon what does that color circle that gets smaller mean?

Also, how do you get better Poké Balls? Everyone I try to capture a Pokémon nowadays it keeps breaking out of the ball and eventually running away. I've wasted so many Poké Balls now.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

I've got three fast and three charged tms and have no idea what I should be using them on.

The color corresponds to the difficulty of the catch, easiest to hardest green, yellow, orange, red.

What level are you? You unlock 2 types of stronger poke balls at certain levels.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Just took my friends phone while she was at work so she'd have a chance at the legendaries.

We both have two Articuno and one Lugia now. &#128548;

Oh that explains why it's been Orange lately!

I'm level 11. This is the third day since last year that I've played this game but I'm actually having fun now!

Maybe cause I have a Cyndaquil now.

 

[Benzychenz]

I've done that many Exeggutor raids and I finally got a decent one (89%) with Solar Beam.

Tempted to power it up but then I wouldn't have enough stardust to get a Moltres to level 30.

almost there, level 12 is when I think great balls unlock. Also don't forget to spin pokestop if your running low on balls.

Thanks! Yep that's what I've been doing for the last 2 hours since I work in a campus building with 3 Poké Stops and a gym! &#128517;

 

[GulAtiCa]

Caught another Unown! S. My fiancee caught it too. And I have my 1st Gold Gym Badge. I'm excited.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Do we have a guess when the next event will be?

 

[robochimp]

Electric event during Zapdos week?
