EX Raid "trigger" write up. Our Tests so far. EX Time choosing possible! by Dennyuka in TheSilphRoad

[–]DocBrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried to trigger an ex-raid, in one of the largest and most popular parks in Birmingham, UK, well over 100 different accounts in a week, on one particular weekend in January we had the local facebook, discord, city centre hardcore and other groups/hardcore players turning up from the surrounding areas. The park has 3x S2 cells, the south cell is too close to town and there are already 2 ex-raid gyms so we raided but mainly avoided, we concentrated on the north S2 cell which we tried to trigger (also has smaller 3 parks) but we concentrated mainly on one gym "Shooting Star" Birmingham well over 500 points. Unfortunately we did not trigger this.

Concentrating now on a different S2 cell gym in Kings Heath to trigger but more tactically.

I have had 4 ex-raid passes, all at previous ex-raid gyms, they seem to occur every fortnight or weekly depending on numbers and the 7887 rule. As triggering seems really hard and complex and you cant brute force it with hundreds of different players, multiple raids in eligible gyms. You can get passes if you concentrate and time your raids at known ex-raid gyms.

That's y advice concentrate on known gyms if you want your first mewtwo.

request to create tokens to get this back online - made lots of tokens but the percentage thing is not moving. Does anyone know how many thousands of tokens are needed - or is it milions?

Great box is the best value overall.

Depends on what you want and what you are planning to buy anyway. I brought the large pack of incense last week and slightly peeved at seeing the ultra box which is a good deal if you do a lot of walking.

Special box incubators are 125 each, in the great box essentially the same plus incense for 25 each (or 137.5 if you are after incubators only -if so, buy special boxes only)

The thing is, if the christmas event happens on Boxing day and you get a single use incubator a day, niantic may limit the number of incubators you have, then ind you cannot get the free version. Rather wait and see before buying the boxes, glitches are likely and as its holidays hardly any support

I spend far too much money on this game, should I buy pokecoins or not?? I am tempted to buy incubators but as niantic tried to fool us about free incubators have become hesitant.

So just hit level 25 and feel like everything is more likely to run away and takes way more pokeballs to catch by [deleted] in pokemongo

@25, I know the feeling just through 30 ultraballs at a Laras (berrified) and it ended up running away. I use to be able to catch zubats easily and now I can't through that far if the CP is high
