[brave gazelle]

I forget how many friends I have now, I might purge after this weekend

Hoping that I’m finally able to grind enough to get that eternatus

[quiet kite]

you get enough points for like, 10 pass levels every time you do an Eternatus battle

[grand canopy]

nobody wants to join gmax blastoise raids

[brave gazelle]

I lost the last one I was in and we had over 20 people, so I’m tryna power up my mons first

[iron zinc]

It's gonna be hard to get enough people together for those Eternatus raids if you aren't in a populated area

[grand canopy]

venu as well

its zard or nuffin

[unborn garden]

The poster boy

[grand canopy]

from rank99 research 😭

i just want THE SHINY 😔

[unborn garden]

Giga zards design is kinda lame ngl

Ooo still sick to get a hundo!

Could use that as your mega

[grand canopy]

yeah thats still dope

xxl as well

but i just want the shiny dmax beldum

[unborn garden]

Oooo yeah

Hope you get one soon!

[grand canopy]

[torpid fjord]

I got 2 of both now

I was able to catch one of both when i did 32 raids but i guess i only deserved 1 of both from the research

[unborn garden]

Apparently it was one per 20 raids rounded up?

[torpid fjord]

Also from the raid day i got a 4 star dialga

[unborn garden]

So if you did 21 youd get one of each

Very nice

[torpid fjord]

I did 32 or more but i got 1 of each

My 4 star legendaries

Im more glad from this event that i got the johto badge done

Needed entei raikou and suicune and now i can go for shiny celebi

[unborn garden]

Yeah so it counted it as 40 raids done so one of each

[grand canopy]

people really dont like venusaur huh

[runic socket]

he kinda ugly im sorry

[unborn garden]

Gmax veen is dope

My group had some people really hyped for it

[grand canopy]

ye the venu raid didnt work out, was the host in the queue when the raids changed

[runic socket]

[craggy venture]

Morning

[runic socket]

Good morning

[grand canopy]

[vocal bolt]

I did one each and got the shiny research

[unborn garden]

Oh nice

[fossil basin]

i did 7 (free tickets) and i got 1 each

sad. No special move though

[unborn garden]

It was probably per diagla/palkia total

[fossil basin]

apparently someone on reddit complain cause they did 70+ raids , got 1 or 2 encounters

[unborn garden]

Yikes yeah thats so sucky

[fossil basin]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/1mxdrkp/i_did_72_palkia_raids_and_31_dialga_raids/

[grand canopy]

[fossil basin]

one of the comments said they did 115 raids never got anything

[grand canopy]

pogo do be pogo'ing

[runic socket]

That’s some shoddy compensation 😭

[craggy venture]

Mhm

It seems like i have to do 3 eterna raids for the encounter and 2 nore to complete the whole thing

[grand canopy]

cant really host gmax mons or eternatus on pokegenie due to the queue size but at least i can host everything else

[runic socket]

I wanna host gmax so bad but I’ve never hosted before and I don’t think a gmax/eternatus raid should be my first experience lmfao

[unborn garden]

haha yeah, i mean most gmaxes can be done with 14 or so people

[runic socket]

Yeah I’ve had really good luck with the raids tonight. None of my raids failed and I did a lot. I think at one point we only had 22 people for eternatus cause people kept leaving 😭

[craggy venture]

Same here

We did with 23

Also

[runic socket]

It’s honestly not that bad at all as long as people aren’t bringing wooloo lmao

[craggy venture]

Correction, two for the encounter and three more to complete

[craggy venture]

Mhm

[weary gorge]

YOOOO I GOT SHINY ETERNATUS

Is what i would say if it was available

Instead my eternatus is ass

This is better tho

[runic socket]

Here’s my hundo eternatus

[craggy venture]

At least you have it now 👍

[grand canopy]

i dont like eternatus raids

doing raids with no encounter is so boring

[unborn garden]

Its so lame

[grand canopy]

couldve at least given us a random dmax pokemon as a reward to catch

or ANYTHING

[fervent pewter]

this will be interesting

[grand canopy]

im at #195 for venu with 20:30 left on the raid, wont happen again

[fervent pewter]

its so laggy it all popped at once

how do i invite all 20 lol

[grand canopy]

hehe

[grand canopy]

click on inv again after 30sec

[fervent pewter]

its still blocked

[grand canopy]

do again

it'll say "invitr 10 friends" at the top

instead of 0

[craggy venture]

I see zard, but i must resist

Anyways, i got eterna and now I need to do three more and then go after and champ and tox

[fervent pewter]

mine was a stinker

[grand canopy]

i got 13/14/11

only good thing about zard raids is that i can use my latias

[fervent pewter]

i wish i had a shiny latias to tank i

[grand canopy]

still took more from fire blast than blissey tho

latias still spawns today and tomorrow so scratch that eternatus lvl50 idea and go all in

[craggy venture]

Same

[grand canopy]

the spawn pool for the weekend sucks

[craggy venture]

I would do that, but i don't have enough money to keep going for tomorrow

[grand canopy]

[glad niche]

Man im gonna struggle this weekend

[unborn garden]

Blissey is so good even against machamp it does pretty well

[glad niche]

Still only tier 20 and I'll either have to spend tons of coins on remotes or tons of time finding 1-3*s to do

[fervent pewter]

starters x6

just letting the go++ catch this weekend while i raid garbage spawns

[unborn garden]

Each eternatus gives 10 ranks

[fervent pewter]

my next gmax zard queue is gonna pop right on the reset

[brave gazelle]

I’ve given up on the harder max raids for now

There will probably be more raiders out in my area later this afternoon, so I’ll just group up with them

[craggy venture]

If y'all have me added, i should have the join via friends list on

So if y'all have raid passes, feel free to just join if you like

[grand canopy]

oh, i meant the dyna spots

its so random

[fervent pewter]

oh yea giving every one since release has hella junkers

[grand canopy]

they also dont swap every 30min, theres the filler that sits between those

[fervent pewter]

pokegenie is loading so bad im not even getting updates on the queues

[grand canopy]

its :43 and i still have these

oh theres a suicune nlw

thats what i mean with fillers

at least i can host suicune with those queue times 😭

[fervent pewter]

my 3rd zard abt to go

this is the one

just go++ a shiny wooloo before the last one ruined me!

[craggy venture]

Even though I have eterna

[grand canopy]

someone brought a thwackey and a drilbur to suicune, thats so cute

[craggy venture]

I wonder how long will i have to get it to max 🤔

[grand canopy]

i actually like the wild spawns for the weekend

chansey and beldum are really nice

[runic socket]

I need to farm the chansey ones

[fervent pewter]

oh dang i didnt realize it was more than just the starters wooloo and skwovet

still just gonna be go++ but maybe ill get some good xls

[craggy venture]

I didn't know this till now

You can join others if you're great friends

[grand canopy]

oh what the fuck

[fervent pewter]

LOL did it go up

they all sucked imma do one more...

[craggy venture]

I wish you luck

[craggy venture]

Also, rip

[grand canopy]

ye but it jumped to 0 the next minute

took forever to win that

[grand canopy]

lemme in

[brave gazelle]

I think I might see if I can host a gmax venusaur raid

[fervent pewter]

we failed it wtf 😂

they gave me the worst ppl!

[grand canopy]

i wasnt in it

where was invite or message or anything 😭

[fervent pewter]

ah i didnt see ur msg until my failure

[grand canopy]

oh wow anothet suicune

dont mind if i do

[fervent pewter]

is eternamax hard?

[grand canopy]

i had 21 people in the lobby but it still took like 4min

probably longer than our latias duo a few weeks ago

[fervent pewter]

hopefully i can do some of those

[grand canopy]

no lvl50?

[fervent pewter]

still gonna try

not sure what to expect from my local turnout today

maybe we can crank thru em

[grand canopy]

im not even gonna bother with those raids

[craggy venture]

With full max counters from what I'm hearing

[grand canopy]

if i can host one here sure but im not gonna use a remote pass

[craggy venture]

I would host one, but it's probably raining today

And everyone is busy so I can't go out

[sharp finch]

Wait till its next release

Hopefully there will be one

[craggy venture]

@grand canopy @fervent pewter you guys up for a latias raid?

[fervent pewter]

no remotes

[craggy venture]

[grand canopy]

i have my shiny already

[craggy venture]

Wait, huh

[grand canopy]

where do all your coins go

[grand canopy]

yup

[craggy venture]

Damn

[fervent pewter]

storage

[grand canopy]

oooh beldum also spawns today

[fervent pewter]

and shuckle !

[grand canopy]

as in dmax raid

[craggy venture]

I wish I could go out, but I can't

[fervent pewter]

same w shuckle 😂

[craggy venture]

I mean, i could, but i have to deal with my father driving tho 😭

[fervent pewter]

i need the hundo lolol

[fervent pewter]

[runic socket]

I still need latias I see the raids are back up on pokegenie

[grand canopy]

beldum?

[craggy venture]

Welp, complete my bp

[craggy venture]

Wanna join mine?

[runic socket]

Sure

[craggy venture]

Alrighty

[fervent pewter]

i need a hundo beldum still sadly but i meant shuckle

[craggy venture]

Seeing if another person wants to join

[fervent pewter]

my homie has the hundo shadow shuckle im hella jealous

[grand canopy]

oh 😭

[runic socket]

Sounds good

[grand canopy]

i got xxl 100% beldum as rank89 reward from the pass earlier today

but i just want the shiny

i think #89 was beldum

[fervent pewter]

bruh

[runic socket]

My beldum was absolute trash

[grand canopy]

like cmon

[fervent pewter]

that wouldve been cool shundo but still cool af

i drove my casual friend home from work one day and he got the hundo dmax beldum from the one we stop at ofc 😆

can you invite more than 20 somehow

[craggy venture]

Ready?

.

[runic socket]

Yea I’m ready

[craggy venture]

It changed

[runic socket]

😭

[fervent pewter]

im abt to do eternamax

[craggy venture]

I dunno how much XLs i need, but i might join

Or not

[runic socket]

Gonna do a random latias raid on pokegenie pray for me

[craggy venture]

Imma-wait nvm, i need to be great to join you via friends list

[fervent pewter]

a lot

[craggy venture]

I see

7756 candy and 1210 XLs

[runic socket]

One day we’ll get there lol

[craggy venture]

Yep

Just gotta try to go out as much as i can for gifts

[fervent pewter]

not getting it to 50

[craggy venture]

[runic socket]

Got my latias not shiny but IVs are great

[fervent pewter]

it was flamethrower and i had a bunch of avg players but we did it !

[grand canopy]

cute

[fervent pewter]

actually would do those 1* dmax for the shiny lol

[grand canopy]

yeah but they dont spawn a lot

eternatus shouldve been in gyms this event or like a seperate power spot

[fervent pewter]

the one on my house is lapras rn

i was hoping for eternatus

[grand canopy]

uhh my filler turned into eternatus

thats so annoying

ooh theres a dynamax toxtricity

blue is lowkey form right

[strong wagon]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/toxtricity-lowkey.gif

[grand canopy]

ok good

i look so silly just standing here

waiting for my lobby to start before i walk home again

not shiny, totally not worth it

[craggy venture]

Wait what

Oh nvm

[weary gorge]

At least they gave us a lot of candy

100 possible candies per raid is crazy

[grand canopy]

still boring

also, only eternatus after 5pm?

[fervent pewter]

lol i keep walking down my street down and back...

[grand canopy]

i go outside, go 50m, wait for 2min and go back home 😭

[glad niche]

You're kidding

Im never gonna get this pass done

[grand canopy]

maybe its just 1 hour and then we get random again?

no idea

i'd love more 5* legendary dmax raids

[fervent pewter]

i still need moltres and zapdos

night snag a gmax snorlax just for the dex entry

i'm already capped for the day

luckily i have the ones from the pass and timed research

[grand canopy]

apparently its only kanto gmax mons after 6pm

[grand canopy]

im still looking for that shiny suicune

also still need 1k candy for lvl40 eternatus

[ornate steeple]

Are people running eternatus? I still want to do them

[fervent pewter]

i can invite you

[lean fern]

So uhh

If you aren’t able to get eternatus from raids, how do you obtain eternatus?

[grand canopy]

go pass at rank60

[glad niche]

What alyz said

[bleak skiff]

Its 10 levels on the pass per eternatus raid, so 6 eternatus raids if youve done nothing all week to prep.

So 4800 particles.

You get 3200 per day for free from daily powerspots

But for most people who got the deluxe pass its better to just do gmaxs instead, im like level 157 on the pass already from the passes particles lol

[grand canopy]

oh it also gives the kanto starters in 1* raids

so same as this morning

[lean fern]

Yeah ok that’s what I feared

I’m trapped in the suburbs with not many poke coins for overpriced remote passes

[fervent pewter]

the in person here is crazy

[grand canopy]

maybe lvl50?

i'll see if i can host this zard raid

my mom did my last 7 or so checks, gotta get her involved

she got this, still looking for a shiny tho

[craggy venture]

Unfortunate time to run out of passes

[grand canopy]

maybe now i can host this damn gmax venu

[fervent pewter]

it was lit all the raids and max spots were cranking

i'm done now, my phone got to 4%

might go back out it was kinda crazy

[grand canopy]

yeah venu aint happenin again

curse you pokegenie

[craggy venture]

I might spend another 20$ for remote passes and particles

[grand canopy]

anything specific you want?

i still have 1 remote pass rn but dont know what to join, maybe i throw myself at venu when i cant host one

[craggy venture]

Some of the gmaxs

[grand canopy]

tomorrows gmax mons dont look that cool tbh

today at least has machamp and gengar

[craggy venture]

I wanna get champ, but i don't see anyone doing em so i give up

[grand canopy]

not even on raid apps?

[craggy venture]

Nope

[fervent pewter]

i'm gonna do zard tomorrow and same more eternatus / dogs

[grand canopy]

probably in 30min, usa should start getting machamp then

[grand canopy]

hows the eternatus candy lookin

i'll just stay in this damn venu queue if the last refresh gives me one

[fervent pewter]

didnt even dent it 😂

[glad niche]

I got nothing above a 3* done today. Was hoping for smth like articuno on my house. Could still get one before 9

[craggy venture]

I maxed out etern max move and level up close to 4000

[grand canopy]

😭

[fervent pewter]

the park i was at kinda sucked idk why everyone goes there

but there was maybe like 250-300 ppl

but theres only like 4 power spots

[glad niche]

Maybe its easy to track which raids you're going into and the time constraints

[craggy venture]

Other than that, I'm not gonna do much with them in a long time

[grand canopy]

damn

[glad niche]

30 mins is enough for a fail or 2

[fervent pewter]

never seen that many ppl in my local

[grand canopy]

thats the pogo dream

[fervent pewter]

what's crazy is i thought pogo was dead here

but its crazy alive 😂

[glad niche]

All the people I know go into the city centre but I don't wanna go there yet again as ive been there twice this week

[fervent pewter]

yea i wish they played downtown

but i guess the park is nicer...

[grand canopy]

i even downloaded campfire to check if theres anything where i live

[trail cloak]

I'm a bit west of Chicago but they got numbers

[grand canopy]

thats nice

[craggy venture]

My brother and his gang went somewhere that's probably pretty populated with max raids so I'm hoping they play Pokemon go a bit there

[glad niche]

My city is still tryna get an ambassador

[grand canopy]

i think my venu queue will time out before its my turn 😭

[craggy venture]

I wish I could join in, but I live nowhere near that

[glad niche]

Where you @ in the queue?

[craggy venture]

[grand canopy]

been in there for 25min, currently at position 98

97

[glad niche]

That's unfortunate

[grand canopy]

we movin

95!!

https://tenor.com/view/neverbackdownneverwhat-gif-18166851564887329673

[glad niche]

Lemme check my next raid

[grand canopy]

my venu disappeared

turned into charmander

[craggy venture]

I should get a venu for the dex

[glad niche]

Blastoise

[fervent pewter]

me and the homie got shiny zama on same raid and lucky swap right after lol

it was bad ofc

the toxtricity is lit tho

[craggy venture]

Neat

[grand canopy]

ooh lvl1 grimer

thats cool

[fervent pewter]

we take those 🔥

[grand canopy]

i got nothing today after machop + caterpie this morning, did about 25-30 raids

was still fun tho, especially the dmax legends

[grand canopy]

you got a good gengar?

[iron zinc]

Do they have any normal dynamax raids going on still? All of them are Eternatus or gigantimax where I am. I don't want to drive into town if there aren't any normal ones going on. That's all I planned on doing for Go today

[grand canopy]

there are mostly gmax and eternatus raids around but regular ones should still spawn

[iron zinc]

I hope they aren't too sparse then. I just wanted to take advantage of being able to do a bunch with boosted shiny odds

[fervent pewter]

nope, i was there the whole hour for gengar and there was only 1...

[grand canopy]

bummer

[fervent pewter]

but 1 is better than none 😄

[grand canopy]

[grand canopy]

now get that latias

[fervent pewter]

the remaining ones i want to do are zard venu molt/zap latias

should be able to clean up okay tho

[grand canopy]

i saw way more johto beasts than kanto birds today, maybe that'll change tomorrow

[fervent pewter]

i still need to do the dogs

[grand canopy]

like i did 3 suicune 1 raikou and saw a few others a bit away, only saw 1 bird tho

[fervent pewter]

the galar dogs

[grand canopy]

eh

[fervent pewter]

suicune 🙏

[grand canopy]

i did a few pika raids today for that costume

[fervent pewter]

i still dont have a usable zamazenta

[fervent pewter]

ye i did a few falinks

[grand canopy]

falinks has a great costume tbf

[fervent pewter]

even the pika lobbies were hitting 20 at the park i was shocked

[grand canopy]

i got mine during the regular gofest event

[grand canopy]

ye thats crazy

but super cool to have a community thats that active

that even pika raids fill

[fervent pewter]

i feel bad for the normal ppl at the park

they were getting mobbed

i think im gonna go back tomorrow

[sharp finch]

I had never been in such a lobby, we had nearly 100 people in eternatus

I've never gotten to see that many people in one place for pokemon go

[iron zinc]

I'm getting ready to go to the park with my brother to meet my parents out there to do raids. I'm hoping there are plenty of people out there

I don't think we'll be beating most things with just four people this time

[fervent pewter]

do u want inv to machamp @grand canopy @craggy venture

[grand canopy]

no remote passes left

[craggy venture]

No remote passes unfortunately

[fervent pewter]

the queue is gonna pop after reset

[craggy venture]

Wait

I'll be back

[craggy venture]

Nevermind, I'm out today

[plucky sky]

So close

If we ever get normal bottlecaps like the initial datamines said, this is an easy candidate

Just need 1 atk iv

[brave gazelle]

My first shiny of the day fled on me

It was just a shiny caterpie but still

[hollow sinew]

If you send a Gigantamax mon from GO to Pokemon Home, will it have the Gigantamax factor?

[unborn garden]

Don't think you can send them yo home

[woeful pulsar]

^^gmax cannot be sent to HOME

[hollow sinew]

It's funny how powering up once for the very first time is just 40% less expensive than learning a second attack

Should I just teach it a new attack right away

[trail cloak]

Before Niantic realizes and changes it to 1000 candy

[plucky sky]

I mean, Dynamax Cannon is kinda OP. Compared to that, Sludge Bomb feels weak, but I guess coverage is good, assuming you use it in pvp or something

Oh I guess you could do Flamethrower

To counter the Zacian/Zamas

[fervent pewter]

if you have poison jab do you still throw dynamax cannon

[plucky sky]

I think Poison Jab + Dynamax Cannon is the best general moveset for pve because of like energy or something

But most people will opt for full dragon

[plucky sky]

Oh I forgot pvp has dynamax cannon neutered, so it has like the same dmg as Sludge Bomb, right?

Oh 80 vs 80, but dyna cannon costs less energy

And Flamethrower is 90

But more energy than both

So I guess for pvp, a 2nd move is definitely worth it

But for pve, probably not

In pve, dynamax cannon is 215 power

Which is insanely powerful

Sludge Bomb by comparison is 85

[sharp finch]

Bro someone in my group got a shundo of zacian and zamazenta today 😐

Less than an hour apart

I'd say he didn't really deserve it because he was being a huge nimrod for no reason to almost everybody

[loud gull]

Hi wanted to ask is Sunday gonna be the same thing as Saturday?

Oh yea just checked it is the same thing tomorrow.

[plucky sky]

Got to level 45.5 eternatus with the deluxe pass finished and 20 eternatus max battles, but probably done since the last 4.5 levels cost 6500 xl candy...so I would need another ~130 eternatus max battles (65 if you buy double rewards with 200 coins each time) for level 50, which is not worth it at all lol. It ramps up a lot. The last 0.5 level is 890 xl candy. You get around 50 xl per battle, or 100 if you use 200 coins for double rewards. And each battle costs the remote pass, 800 particles, and 200 extra coins to double your rewards. Would cost about 36k more poke coins for these last 4.5 levels with 65 raids. Not worth $250 and 65 more raid queues for 4.5 levels imo

But I'm happy with 45.5 Eternatus with 98% IVs (1 away from perfect) and 4700 cp

Until they release shiny eternatus at least

[fervent pewter]

you didnt max dmax cannon?

[quiet kite]

isnt maxing out the Max Attack first more important though?

[plucky sky]

I did

Level 3 dmax cannon was the first thing I did

[kindred musk]

we twins

i need like 900 candy to get it to level 40 i am not doing 10 raids

[plucky sky]

[kindred musk]

i already lost 6 raid passes today trying to beat the thing with 20 other people

10 bucks in the pooper

[plucky sky]

Rip

[kindred musk]

most blatant cash grab they've had yet

[sharp finch]

Eh I'd tie that with bottlecaps

20 bucks just to get a pokemon from 2-3* to 4*

[kindred musk]

and then you have to do so much work to get it to a 4 star and you only have a year too

like that's crazy there should be no time limit

[sharp finch]

So yeah, cash grab

[kindred musk]

as per usual

[grand canopy]

time for day2

[restive turtle]

yeah but within a year is very doable

capped my zygarde and it only took like 50 days

could have done it a lot sooner but I didn't grind as much as I should have

[restive turtle]

people have to be griefing

[grand canopy]

oooh zard raid

[kindred musk]

it's a pain to walk dialga for 15 candies

[restive turtle]

oh

yea i can see how that would be an issue

[kindred musk]

and then have to wait at least 30 days for the 15 days of feeding and then 15 days of snapshots

like bruh

i can complete everything else but the stupid candies

[restive turtle]

ohhhh right some of them have time gates

my zygarde was 12/12/14 lmao

[kindred musk]

i'ma probably have to use 2 bottle caps

i don' even remember what mine was at lemme see

[restive turtle]

poffins would be huge for this ngl

wrong one

[kindred musk]

gotta love paying for poffins

[restive turtle]

i have like 9 or 10 poffins stacked

paid for exactly zero of them

[kindred musk]

i used mine for candy stuff so i have like 3 left

nvm got 5

got 1 of my 6 raid passes back w

niantic support on top

lost a battle due to the invites not working

people got kciked out mid raid and we lost

the other 5 were cause of the dynamax cannon and flamethrower moveset

you can usually do it with 20 people but if it has that you need at least 40

i spent 35 bucks today on raid passes i haven't spend that much in a day on pogo in like 3 years

bruh they gave me a normal raid pass instead of a remote

nvm about w niantic support

[plucky sky]

Yeah, I dont know if this is new policy or if people have just been unlucky, since I haven't talked to many other people about this, but recently Niantic support has been doing that for me. Out of 3 remote pass bugs, they gave me back a normal pass every time. Before this year, for every remote raids bug I wrote to support about, I got a remote pass back

Maybe they're cheaping out

Or maybe I've just been unlucky recently

[grand canopy]

theres an articuno raid as my filler lobby, maybe i can catch that as a quick solo before the lobby changes

dont have enough time to host the gmax toxtricity sadly

worked on a scorbunny 30min ago

[restive turtle]

zacian eats dynamax cannons

flamethrowers not so much

[grand canopy]

just did a solo zapdos, that was close

[runic socket]

[fervent pewter]

im gonna only be able to do 6 800pt fights today

[glad niche]

Still need about 30 ranks to get eternatus

[plucky sky]

You can complete the pass with like 6/7 eternatus battles if you started at 30

Those battles give a ton of levels each

10 levels per eternatus battle

[grand canopy]

go get that latias

[craggy venture]

Ngl

Only thing i can go for

Is the shiny latias and that's pretty much it

I can go without gmax Machamp and wait for gmax urshifu

[grand canopy]

but gmax urshifu isnt fighting type

thats water or dark no?

because of their signature moves

[craggy venture]

It is indeed a fighting type

[grand canopy]

the max move

i meant the max move

[craggy venture]

Just double checked, i just woke up 😂

[craggy venture]

Ah, you're right about that

[grand canopy]

the only important part about the gmax mons is the move

[craggy venture]

Welp, i guess imma do one gmax champ raid

[grand canopy]

oh nice, zapdos and articuno right here

[fervent pewter]

im hoping my venasaur queue will make it in time for reset

at 153 19 minutes left

the last of the kanto trio i need

[fervent pewter]

i didnt make it in time ofc but it reset to another venasaur 🙏

why would dragon gmax zard be better against vena lol?

my lobby is gonna expire before it goes no way

[grand canopy]

i wanna know what the difference between eternatus 1 and eternatus 2 is

[fervent pewter]

one is lvl 40

[grand canopy]

aah i see i see

[fervent pewter]

but somehow the lvl 40 is higher ranked...

that site fkin weird

70s until it expires

[grand canopy]

dats tuff

[fervent pewter]

im at position 4

LOL

[craggy venture]

Wait, dragon? That doesn't seem right

[grand canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-funny-hood-just-let-it-go-bruh-its-over-gif-2300031300461303277

[unborn garden]

Faster energy gain ig

[grand canopy]

i mean gmax zard wants dragon breath

[unborn garden]

Even then just put a blissey in the front with pound

[grand canopy]

because of the 0.5s fast move duration

the charge move is irrelevant tho

[fervent pewter]

it will always have wildfire?

[unborn garden]

You shouldnt have your attacker out first in any max battle aside from the really weak ones

[grand canopy]

gmax yes

[fervent pewter]

ah that's kinda op...

[unborn garden]

Gmax mons always have their type gmax moves

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

rip my hopes of using gmax blast for rock type

[grand canopy]

some raids i just quick swap when i see an attack

to my tank and then back i go

[craggy venture]

I can't think of which gmax is left

[grand canopy]

😭

[unborn garden]

Haha you can do that but you'll lose some energy efficiency

[grand canopy]

was good for solo articuno tho

i think it had blizzard? that still did a lot

[unborn garden]

Alchreme, drednaw, urshifu, copparaja, flapple/appleton, corviknight, meowth, pikachu, eevee

More as well I think

[grand canopy]

drednaw is gonna take a while

hat is still missing

[strong wagon]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/hatterene-gmax.gif

[unborn garden]

Yeah zacian is pretty tanky so against an ice type its probably fine

[unborn garden]

Yeah ouch big damage

[craggy venture]

I see a possibility for eevee and Pikachu on pokemon day

[unborn garden]

Ah yeah hat as well, those were just off the top of my head

Maybe both yeah

[grand canopy]

i started a blastoise queue on pokegenie in hopes of getting one to spawn here in 10min, im at position 440 😭

[craggy venture]

I can't wait for gnax corvi after com day

[unborn garden]

Oof

Yeah itll probably ve the day after rookidee cday

[craggy venture]

it's probably gonna be while

[craggy venture]

Yep

[grand canopy]

theres a raikou and an articuno as my filler raids

do i go for articuno or raikou

raikou is kinda difficult to solo without resetting for shadow ball

i have both shiny already as well from last week

[craggy venture]

Same

But i do need candies for raikou tho

[grand canopy]

articuno lobby didnt even spawn

and raikou was double electric moveset

at least theres a moltres now

[craggy venture]

That's a oof

[craggy venture]

I would help you out, but i have none max shrooms

[grand canopy]

the lobby disappears too quickly to invitr anyone

the filler lobbies are gone too fast

[craggy venture]

🤷‍♂️

[grand canopy]

so its solo or nuffin

[craggy venture]

I wanna get eterna to 4000, but it'll cost me the rest of the candies

This sucks

[runic socket]

Did you already max out its move?

[craggy venture]

Just max move

[runic socket]

Ngl eternatus is kinda op I’m having fun with it

Yea that’s all you need to invest in is the max move. Mine kills everything

[craggy venture]

I can get one of them to level two and that's it

[craggy venture]

Yep

[runic socket]

I’m done leveling mine. It’s officially become too expensive 😭

[craggy venture]

Mhm

[plucky sky]

Yeah, same

[craggy venture]

I should be able to be out with my mom and sister to the mall, so i might be able to get remote passes once i return. I can't put a google card without the Internet for some reason

[plucky sky]

But its still OP with lvl3 dyna cannon and level 30+

[craggy venture]

Who needs gmax when you have dyna cannon

[fervent pewter]

just did a vena finally 🙏

[grand canopy]

join my moltres raid

its shiny w background, trust

[plucky sky]

[runic socket]

I only got one shiny with BG throughout this whole event

[grand canopy]

now i have to solo this damn bird

pray for me

[plucky sky]

That's 1 more than most people

[craggy venture]

It just clicked, do i have a chance to solo a legendary raid with just two zacians (one is at lv2 max move and one is at max) and eterna?

[fervent pewter]

wheres your omastar to solo

[craggy venture]

I'm glad to have a shiny raikou with the background

[grand canopy]

yeah im not built for moltres

that mf cooks me

if only i had something better to resist its moves

lets hope the next refresh gives me anything but moltres

[craggy venture]

Articuno?

[grand canopy]

got 2 eternatus

but entei is in my filler lobby so maybe i can try that solo

in 25min

[craggy venture]

[grand canopy]

i have 0 good water dynamax mons

is gonna be tuff

[glad niche]

Ive made it to 38 so in theory if I get lucky with a raid at my house I just need 2 eternatus

[grand canopy]

yay i can duo the raid, got the free particles on my moms account

should be easy now

[glad niche]

I tried a latias and it ohkoed everything we had

[grand canopy]

thats annoying

[glad niche]

Heading home now. Nobody was at my city's park to help

[grand canopy]

the entei disappeared instantly

[plucky sky]

What are the charizard shiny rates? I know its not common, but wondering when I should feel unlucky doing gmax charizard battles

[grand canopy]

im 0/16 i think

for gmax zard

[plucky sky]

I think I'm 0/20 so far

[grand canopy]

i think gmax are 1/20?

[plucky sky]

Got a shiny gmax gengar tho on like the 3rd one

[grand canopy]

nice

im 0/20+ for gmax this weekend, probably 0/25?

[plucky sky]

Gengar is the only one for me so far. I think I've done like 45 battles, but 20 were eternatus, so those dont count

[grand canopy]

im probably at 40 without eternatus

and no shiny

[plucky sky]

Oof

[grand canopy]

ah no thats not true, i got a shiny machop 😭

but yeah, could be better

[craggy venture]

I got a shiny tox and that's it

[grand canopy]

tox is so cool

[craggy venture]

I wanna get a shiny gmax Gengar, but i burn through all my coins atm so it's oof

[craggy venture]

Ye, and it was the first raid

[grand canopy]

i had great luck mon-fri tho, 2x shiny bg (latias + zapdos) and 2x shiny without bg (articuno + raikou) and 2x shiny from the pass (wooloo + kabuto)

lets goo, managed to host an eternatus raid

[glad niche]

What happens with those third party apps again?

[grand canopy]

still need 800 candy to push it to lvl40 😭

what?

[glad niche]

Can you host and have people join from both your friend list and the app or what?

[grand canopy]

they send you a friend request, you accept and invite them to the raid

you can still have others join via friend list, i think all my eternatus raids have had more than 21 players

[glad niche]

Right

If you get any more could I maybe perhaps

[grand canopy]

if i get another one sure

you can also host one via pokegenie, 5pm-6pm is only eternatus spawns so if you start hosting at like 4:50 or so you should easily get to #1 in time

[glad niche]

I could but ive never used it before and im always skeptical because idk what the devs stance on these third party raid apps are

[unborn garden]

They are fine with them

Been around for years

[grand canopy]

i have like 600 raids on pokegenie between hosting and joining so i dont think theres any issue 😭

right now im at #66 gmax toxtricity with no tox near me, hoping one will spawn after the refresh

[lean fern]

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!

[grand canopy]

thats a cute fella

[lean fern]

It’s not my baby though

[grand canopy]

it is now

[lean fern]

Who’s fucking hybrid child is this

Are they even in the same egg group?

[fervent pewter]

i hope people go to the park again today

[craggy venture]

It gives me an idea to sketch

[lean fern]

Is it Volshrew or Sandarona?

[craggy venture]

I like art, but my motivation and focus is just non-existent

[craggy venture]

Not really a fusion, but a costume

[grand canopy]

i have 9 power spots on my nearby and 8 are eternatus 😭 its toxtricity hour right now

[craggy venture]

That's rough

[grand canopy]

guess i'll queue eternatus again

the next refresh wont have any eternatus, i know it

[fervent pewter]

im pulling up to the park for charizard hour

then just focusing on zacian + zamazenta

[grand canopy]

do 1 latias, thats the shiny

[glad niche]

Got up to 45 now.

[grand canopy]

yep, no eternatus

but theres another articuno to solo

[glad niche]

What you using for it?

[grand canopy]

zacian + zama + zacianAE

the adventure effect is dumb strong this event

Those eternatus up?

[grand canopy]

the raids? yeah they are

im at 390 in the queue

hope i'll make it in the next 20min

[glad niche]

You want me to send you friend codes?

[grand canopy]

no?

im hosting my own via pokegenie rn

[glad niche]

But cant i add you then you can invite me or

[grand canopy]

oh yeah i can do that

[glad niche]

Lemme dm em

[grand canopy]

you can also join someone elses raid. via pokegenie, no need to wait then

[forest saffron]

Should I unlock max gaurd on my gmax charizard

[plucky sky]

LFG Shiny Background Max Attack 3* Gmax Charizard as my first shiny Charizard ever at 27 Gmax Zard battles

[plucky sky]

Not really necessary. You usually bring 1-2 tanks/healers and 1-2 dps. You dont usually have the dps out outside of the max move phase. So you really only need the attacking move for dps max mons. Same way you only need the shield and/or heal moves on the tank/healers

[grand canopy]

shaddap

but congrats, dats really really nice

now gib it to me

[forest saffron]

Is snorlax a good healer? I have a gmax snorlax with lvl 2 max gaurd and max spirit

[plucky sky]

Unironically, Dmax Blissey is the best healer, better than gmax snorlax and a lot better than dmax wailord. You really can't beat the high def with some of the highest hp in the game and massive energy gain fast moves

Gmax snorlax is a good hybrid healer/tank though, and a lot of people use it as a tank

If you already have gmax snorlax invested, might as well use it

Its still great. Just Blissey happens to be broken

For what it is

[grand canopy]

hoping for a zard raid from this refresh

[plucky sky]

Ngl, this event has been insane for a big reason I dont see people talking about...stardust. from the amount of gmax battles I've done, I've gotten over 3mill stardust in 1.5 days. I always have a star piece running and it ends up with 37.5k stardust per gmax battle or 75k for eternatus with double rewards

[grand canopy]

i love the XP i got from this event

[plucky sky]

That too

[grand canopy]

almost at lvl48 now

[plucky sky]

I think I got 7mill+ xp from this event alone

Always have an egg and star piece running

[grand canopy]

also

[plucky sky]

Gmax is really insane value compared to raids

[grand canopy]

the wild spawn update is crazy, so many new spawn points for this event

[plucky sky]

[grand canopy]

should always be like this

lots of spawns, always good

[plucky sky]

Yeah frfr

[grand canopy]

hoping for a zard or venu raid, im already in both queues 😭

VENUSAUR

@fervent pewter i can host a venu, FINALLY 😭

[glad niche]

Got 1 eternatus done

And i finally had to change a zama to crowned

Still need zacian but all of them are bad ivs

[grand canopy]

2 venus, both not shiny

my mom is starting to feel bad 😭

[plucky sky]

I just got a shiny gmax venu...on my first and only gmax venu battle

[glad niche]

Lost another eternatus. Still need 1 more. Should get 1 done soon

[grand canopy]

hate

https://tenor.com/view/kot-cat-plaża-beach-woda-gif-5025613992274508130

[kindred musk]

Aw cute

[kindred musk]

It even ask what raid pass you use

I’ve gotten raid passes back in the past

[grand canopy]

i prob need to do remotes to get my mom a shiny

[kindred musk]

wat shiny

[plucky sky]

Venusaur

[fervent pewter]

did you do it ??

[plucky sky]

Yeah, exactly. Its why it makes no sense to give back the worse kind unless they're really just trying to cheap out

[kindred musk]

ofc

I ain’t buying another damn remote raid pass if they wanna do that

[fervent pewter]

got my best zamazenta so far 15 15 12 and its shiny too

probably what ill use for crown form

[kindred musk]

I also love how in this they give 10raid passes instead and no remote raid passes

[glad niche]

Eternatus caught.
12 15 14

[grand canopy]

ye, not shiny tho
both main and mom acc joined

[fervent pewter]

im out of particles now

[grand canopy]

also did like 5 more 1*

and 2 remote lapras

no shiny

[fervent pewter]

AHH i have to run to zacian my queue went

no where near it

[grand canopy]

[restive turtle]

went to a park yesterday and there was a group of like 50 people in the morning but everyone left at around noon

went to the same park today and I'm the only one here playing

[grand canopy]

2 venu raids now 😭

[fervent pewter]

i made it 🔥

[grand canopy]

wdym 🔥 😭 i cant host these

#425 for 25min lobby

[fervent pewter]

i finally go thru on vena queue 🤭

[grand canopy]

my luck this weekend has been stinky

[grand canopy]

i'll remote to one

[fervent pewter]

my luck is baseline bad so

average event for me

[supple scarab]

Desperate for Low amp Toxtricity gmax if anyone has one at all over the next 12hrs or so 🙏

[fervent pewter]

was a fun event tho ngl, i was worried it was gonna be shitty for me

just hosting zacians and zamas locally on pokegenie for rest of the day

[wheat marten]

Oh god shiny Necrozma chance soon...

My bank might call me for swiping too much to buy raid passes

(I want a shiny 0 speed for the memes, lowest I have is 2 speed)

[grand canopy]

ye it was really fun imo

[restive turtle]

the one on the left was the fourth best Zama I got at go fest, should I use it as trade fodder and power up the right one instead?

[grand canopy]

if only i got one shiny this weekend from my ton of raids

[grand canopy]

i have a 0spe one sitting in home

[fervent pewter]

yea i really wanted zard 🙁

[wheat marten]

It took me a couple hours to get the Eternatus encounter. Quite a lot of foreign tourists in Tokyo today I see playing it (physically)

[grand canopy]

i wanted anything tbh

any shiny gmax/dmax this weekend wouldve been dope

[wheat marten]

If you've been approached it's probably me

[grand canopy]

especially since my mom opens my encounters since yesterday

[wheat marten]

[fervent pewter]

ye i went 0/10 on gigantamaxes

[glad niche]

What level on the pass did yall get to?

[grand canopy]

im at 280

[restive turtle]

I'm on 141 currently

[wheat marten]

didn't have any shinies for gigantamaxes either. I did get a XXL Gengar so I'm happy

[grand canopy]

and i did like 7 eternatus raids 😭

[restive turtle]

only shiny I got this weekend was a random Chansey that I accidentally clicked on while trying to spin a PokeStop

told my friend I'd trade it to him since that was my fifth or sixth and he's never had one but then he got a dmax one from the pass

[next narwhal]

Need help with eternatus raid pls add and help me

895762172309

[cold panther]

yo what are the odds of getting the gmax zard with the blue sky background?

[grand canopy]

just did my last 3 gmax zard raids via remote, still no luck

wouldve loved at least one cool shiny this weekend but

[hollow sinew]

Does leveling up a max move count as unlocking one?

[plucky sky]

No

[hollow sinew]

Aw man

I guess I'll try to crown my first Zamazenta and unlock Guard

That doesn't take particles either

[glad niche]

Helped my family member get eternatus

Glad the event is over

[grand canopy]

[glad niche]

Ooh almost there

Im 10m over 45

[restive turtle]

my alt was in a Gmax Lapras when my main got this and it despawned

[fervent pewter]

level 50 soon™️

[grand canopy]

gonna take a while

[fervent pewter]

you got this 🫡

[grand canopy]

had a great event tbf, just a bummer that it ended with 0 shinies on the weekend

[grand canopy]

[autumn spindle]

Really, this GO Fest has been rough

[craggy venture]

I have the gmaxs I needed, except champ

[autumn spindle]

About 72 on the pass, at the moment. Still didn't get to do much anyway, but I got Eternatus, at least

[craggy venture]

I probably won't do much the next couple of days except com day

[glad niche]

Alright

[plucky sky]

Lol I maxed mine out. You can't go past 500

[glad niche]

Well done

[fervent pewter]

one last zacian 🙏

81 w no shiny

[trail cloak]

#82 will be shiny!

[fervent pewter]

surely 83

[autumn spindle]

Got Gmax Blastoise and Toxtricity now

[craggy venture]

I'll live without gmax Machamp

Just glad to have many more options for max raids

[sharp finch]

The only g-max to have a fighting type gmax attacks

[craggy venture]

Yep

[autumn spindle]

Still kind of disappointed about this GO Fest compared to the others, though

[craggy venture]

Agreed

[sharp finch]

Yep, volcanion is nothing to be excited about

No real new mechanic

[autumn spindle]

I was talking about this Max Finale one

[craggy venture]

Eternatus is a cash grab and i think that's the negatives i have to say about that

At least the current release gmax are back

[sharp finch]

Hopefully next one they introduce something epic, like the possibility of the paradox mons

Maybe introducing the next generation

[plucky sky]

Isn't this in addition to go fest? Did other go fests have a finale multiple months later?

[quiet kite]

well Koraidon and Miraidon are going to be hot drops, even if they arent that good and are still shiny locked

[plucky sky]

I bet they'll be really good, but definitely shiny locked

[quiet kite]

yeah Miraidon at least is really similar to Zekrom iirc

[sharp finch]

Why the hell does the shiny lock even exist

[plucky sky]

They have to be good or nobody would spend money on the deluxe miraidon pass. Imagine if eternatus wasn't op. A shiny locked legend who sucks? Why would anyone farm hundreds of raids for that?

[quiet kite]

generally Go doesnt do shiny debuts for things that are still locked in the main series

[plucky sky]

Hype, Fomo, control, and artificial scarcity/value

If you mean in general

Why shiny locks exist

[sharp finch]

Wouldn't really day that about the older games, such as black and white

Now, yeah

[plucky sky]

I mean, they usually planned for events and stuff. Arceus was shiny locked so they could do the shiny arceus distribution event

This has always been the case for shiny locks

If people can just farm the shiny, it wouldn't be as unique/valuable for events and other controlled scarcity distributions

[sharp finch]

Why ruin fun, why ruin the grind and satisfaction when it's just handed to you

[plucky sky]

Money and control over IP, which again goes to money

Gamefreak has always been a business

Even in the earliest days

Same with Nintendo, Niantic, and every other dev/publisher

[woeful pier]

I’m out of pokeballs on po go and can’t buy any sadly…

[plucky sky]

Can you walk or drive to a nearby pokestop?

[woeful pier]

No im stuck at home rn

[plucky sky]

Well, rip. Guess you just have to wait it out. Not much you can do

[woeful pier]

Damn that’s sad

Wish you could purchase pokeballs in an easier way

[fervent pewter]

ayyy and we get dondozo tmrw

and necrozma yooo

[craggy venture]

Pass on the necro

[versed lantern]

I didn’t put much effort into max stuff before the event, but I have 1 pass left are there any mons too good to pass up I should use it on?

[craggy venture]

But I'll join one dondozo for the dex

[craggy venture]

Other than gmaxs and legends, nothing i can think of

[quiet kite]

send and receive gifts

[autumn spindle]

So we'll finally be getting Mega Metagross this next season, though we're yet to see how will it do as a Steel attacker compared to the Crowned Wolves

[unborn garden]

Resolute keldeo looks like

[fervent pewter]

resolute keldeo

[unborn garden]

Maybe I should max mine

[fervent pewter]

i manifested it

[unborn garden]

Hahah all you

[fervent pewter]

new pvp stuff is hella hype and we get mega meta lfg

the other shadow looked like dmax dachsbun ?? lol

[unborn garden]

Probably gmax eevee

Since it showed eevee just before jt

[fervent pewter]

[woeful pulsar]

[weary gorge]

Sooooooo

The palkia was garanteed to have the HM move?

[fossil basin]

No

you got lucky!

[weary gorge]

Nah

Didn't had the move but this stats and shiny

[fossil basin]

Epic

Looks almost like mine

[weary gorge]

Which i don't care honestly

[fossil basin]

UGH!

[weary gorge]

Like i alreqdy have THREE SHINY PALKIAS

Give me the fucking move

[fossil basin]

I dont like pvp…

[weary gorge]

Guess i'll keep this one cuz either way origin Palkia is good dominating competitive

[fossil basin]

I have 2 with rend…

[weary gorge]

Give me one(?

[fossil basin]

GUESS i was lucky…

[weary gorge]

Keldeo!? Oh let's fucking go bro

I looove Keldeo

[fossil basin]

Yeah pony is coming back after a long time

[weary gorge]

Yea i've heard been a long time since they gave him

[restive turtle]

go all level 1 mons for the GBL one then battle a friend or team leader for the league specific ones

[fossil basin]

Just hold on to teh win 3 1* raids for future raiding (From: LeekDuck)

Also a lot of shellder spawns. So lots of star dust

[runic socket]

Shellder give more stardust?

[restive turtle]

1000 per catch

[runic socket]

Oh that’s not bad at all

[grand canopy]

that slakoth is cute

[fervent pewter]

there's a few mons that are perma dust boosted

trubbish, sableye, meowth etc

chimecho and audino is the big hitter

[grand canopy]

audino with the worst catch rate of all time

[fervent pewter]

the dust isn't worth the head ache

[plucky sky]

At least we know Eternatus is coming back with more chances to get the insane candy values

Maybe I'll get my level 47 Eternatus to level 50 on the rerun

Only need 4830 more XLs

[quiet kite]

they should just have the Darkest Day like, 4 times a year lol

[plucky sky]

Even if they give us more than enough candy to level 50 for everyone over time, I'm happy I did the raids during this event because of how much xp and stardust I got. Even after leveling up 2 new GMax and my Eternatus from scratch, I'm sitting at 4.5m extra stardust compared to where I was before this event. And like 20m xp

[glossy sapphire]

hey uh I know the event ended yesterday but I just finished a max battle and it leveled up my pass? I was tier 15 last night and it raised it to 16 after the battle.. Is this normal? or is it a glitch
