Pokemon GO (mobile) Video Game • Page 324

About to post up at a Starbucks to work on this project and I hope two good raids happen at the gym while I'm there. Not having to walk my Machoke another 143km is definitely preferred.

 

All pretty good then really! Shame the Snorlax was only 71 though - should be set to minimum 80 for a pokemon so rare IMO. I only ask because I'm going through my pokemon and transferring any poke with IVs less that 75% atm so am super into IVs right now!

 

I've had strange luck with Snorlaxes. I caught four of them right off the bat, and I've seen a few others but didn't bother catching them because I didn't realize they were that rare. I also hatched one almost a year later...but none of them have been over 75%.

They're still awesome to use in gyms except for my guy who is 244CP haha.

 

244

The first one I hatched was 85-89% IV and it's moveset is now no longer available (legacy), so he is my pride and joy and will be the first pokemon I power-up to over 3000cp when I get the candies!

 

Did a raid against a Quilava by myself this morning. Really liking the concept. Never going to be playing with anyone to actually do a difficult one.

 

Just got my first Machamp at a raid. Only 82% IV's but it got Bullet Punch and Dynamic Punch. Used the fast move tm I got from the same raid and the Machamp learned Counter. Good stuff.

 

For the first time I checked IV's because I had my only two Chanseys ever very close in CP. Turns out one of them is 100% perfect, and it's now a Blissey.

 

That's how I was with Dratini. First one I ever caught was 100% and is now a Dragonite. Literally my only 100% Pokémon too.

 

Got a fair few over 90%, but my only 100% is a fucking Magcargo

 

My only 100% was a Tentacruel and I accidentally transferred it. I mean... I actually rename my Pokemon their IVs and favorite anything over 80% but I somehow messed that up.

My 98% Rhydon is a beast though.

 

I hate Tentacruel so would def purposely transfer one regardless of perfect IVs!!! I think I have a few at 98% - Golem, Donphan, Typhlosion and a Pikachu off the top of my head - but I really seem to draw the short straw when it comes to movesets so most of those suck tbh

 

Yeah, but you can teach your Pokemon new moves now with TMs. Making me re-think a few Pokemon that I have.

 

Won another magikarp raid and my first Exeggutor raid today. Still haven't had time to do a level 4 raid.

 

I have a perfect IV Vaporeon that I caught on my couch. Also a perfect Crobat. That's it as far as I know though.

 

Discovered my CP2253 Arcanine is 93%. Can't stop checking now.

 

Seems like Nanab berries work pretty well against Tyrannitar raid bosses.

Also in case anyone doesn't know, use the Appraise feature so you have a good idea of the IV's before bothering with an app. I'm pretty much just like Panda. I trash everything below 80% (top tier) unless I can do a mass evolve with it or add to my Dex.

ALSO, man, I'm using a lot less great balls and ultra balls now. Pretty much exclusively doing gyms and raids and catching stuff with my Pogo+.

 

Where's a good place to check my IVs?

 

I use this one:

Pokémon IV calculator - Pokémon Go - GameInfo

 

I've done at least one raid a day and it's usually a level 4 or 3 minimum. Best ones have shown up in the mornings. Got my 3rd Charizard with near perfect IV's from one a few hours ago.

Edit: I did also do my first Magikarp raid solo but sadly he was not shiny.

 

When you're about to unleash unholy matrimony in a public restroom and don't want to sit down.

 

Apparently they just lowered the catch rate for Snorlax, Lapras, and Rhydon from 20% to 5%. In both raids and in the wild.

Just won my 2nd ever raid, and was rewarded with a 100% IV Electabuzz!!! Did it solo but only got 1 rare candy and 9 revives as a reward? For a level 2 raid that is awful seeing as I got more rewards for beating a damn Magikarp!!!

 

Handing out Revives for winning a raid is the Eevee/Mantine/Pinsir in a 10km egg equivalent.

 

Machamp's are doable by yourself if you have a good enough roster. Having said that, I just did one with one other person and took it down and all my Pokémon were KO'd at the last second but we still won.

 

I've found that if the item rewards are stacked, I have more trouble catching the Raid Pokémon and generally their IV's are in the 80 percentiles. Then vice versa. Don't know if it's coincidence or not.
