Pokémon Go |OT 3| "No Officer, I'm a Passenger"

Holy shit! I've probably spent about $100, raids took a toll on my wallet for sure.

And again, the egg timer works great for Legendary raids, but it sucks for the others, Niantic needs to find a balance there. 30 mins of egg time is enough, the leftover 1.5 hours can be used to the actual raid. No one in their right mind is going to go to a tier 4 egg unless they're completely sure it's a highly wanted Pokémon right now like Tyranitar.

Still on the lookout for that perfect Raikou. Caught another one today (12/16 now I believe) but it was a 1870ish CP one.

I've probably spent somewhere around $40-50, but a sizeable chunk of that was from iTunes Gift Credit I had nothing else to spend on. :p

More importantly:

I FINALLY HATCHED A FUCKING CLEFFA.

PokéDex is now at 240/243.

I think I spent around $100 total during the first few months of this game.

I do know for certain that I have not spent a single cent ever since the Halloween event ended, and it will stay that way. I'm actually building up a stash in preparation for Generation 3. If the Pokemon Storage upgrades are discounted like last time, then that's where all my Coins will go.

This game was basically my life back in 2016, but it has slowed down a lot during this year.

Only really with raids have come big use of driving around using up gas. Most of my Pokemon hunting has been mainly on the way to destinations. Even with my insane 1800 Dratini candies of catching like 5+ Dratinis a work day, most are just on the way to work or from.

I started a new hunt in mean time of going after 100% when they pop up. Caught a Eevee today and a Tangela yesterday. There was a 100% Snorlax a few weeks ago that I could have easily gotten if I didn't go into work early on an important project. Would have driven literally by it to work as it popped too if I drove at the normal time. lol

Wow that's shitty. They're probably the kind of people that believe pressing "OK" when you catch the raid Pokémon lowers everyone else's chances, or that the bigger the group, the lower the chances for people to catch the Pokémon.

Is there a detailed catch rate chart for the beasts? I want to know what chances a Great throw + Curveball + Golden berry attempt gives me.

This applies to both the bird trio and the beasts trio.

So about 17.8% with that kind of throw. Explains why I'm 14/18 for Raikou right now, I've been doing my job.
Back when the birds were out I didn't really know curveballs had a dead zone and how to throw them properly, I do now and I try to always hit a great + curveball, it'll come in handy when Mewtwo comes out.

They are probably closely monitoring, which means they need to be in the office to set up things and it was weekend.

Wanted to power up Lugia to become my second overall Pokemon. Gathered just enough stardust today for a final push, turns out it is the first upgrade past level 30 so he advanced only 25. Missed my second spot with 5 cp.

I lagged out after my first throw for a 1906 Raikou. This is why I remain a $0 player because I would be even more furious if I actually paid money for this POS game

Had a friend today lag out on a Raikou as well. He was pretty upset. The app was giving him shit all day while we were raiding. They really need to address the bugs, but also, they need to get better about replying to people's complaints when they email in.

Update on my post above: Niantic actually gave my friend 8 raid passes in response to his email yesterday. He's mostly satisfied, though unhappy it took 3 emails to get their attention.

New update is out! Details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...ilph_roads_apk_mine_of_v0750_is_complete_the/

Mainly a minor one with bug fixes. Lobby bug count still there. Can now search for Legendary & Defender. Journal now shows raid rewards/etc, gym pokestop info
Click to expand...

Can we please go back to the previous raid rewards, while having the amount of revives and putting potions there? So many people have run out of Golden berries, and you hardly get candies now. I still got 90 Golden berries, but I'm afraid I might run out of them soon.

More reward items in general, would basically solve the current issue/etc. They should have increased the amount to offset the new items.

I myself only use the golden berries if it's a Pokemon I really need, mainly if the IVs are better then what I already have. Else I don't use any. Maybe a pinap berry. For now, I really recommend only using them when you really need the Pokemon.

I do miss getting 10+ Rare Candies at a time. Currently have little over 300. Mainly saving for Mewtoo or a perfect Raikou.

I'm posting now so that I don't forget. No evolution item was found in my 7 day streak from last night. I'm not really upset, because I already have all the items I need.

It is a major bug, and it should probably be reported anyway. What should I do?

This is very unusual, because yesterday is the first time that I have not seen an Evolution item in my Journal. I've been using the Journal for months now, because the items never pop-up on screen.

I know that I didn't receive a Metal Coat. My inventory for that item is perpetually low, so I always know if I get another one. I do have a large number of Sun Stones, King's Rocks, and Dragon Scales, but I have no idea exactly what I had before I got my streak. I still don't think that I actually received an item.

Got my Ex raid pass for this Friday. It's at a sponsored Sprint Store. Last raid I did there was two weeks ago.

Looks like the EX passes are very quickly expanding out through sponsored gyms. Folks in my area have gotten them too. Sadly it's been ages since I've done a Sprint raid. :/

Hopefully Sbucks gyms start getting passes soon, because I've done one of those recently.
