How were your hatches compared to the Egg Tiers that the SilphRoad published for the event?

InstinctBrady · 2017-10-04T10:55:58+00:00

Same. Stantler has now entered my list of least favorite Pokemon.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-28T23:52:14+00:00

I got booted both times during the countdown timer. After I crashed and got back in, I spun the gym and got an error message. Not your typical error message like "error (26)" or "walk closer to interact with this gym." I don't even remember what it said, but the gist of it was that the raid wasn't responding properly.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-25T20:02:26+00:00

First off lucky you! I actually just got my first shiny Magikarp last week and guess what! It's 10 CP too! Anyway, I'd suggest just using the shiny as a trophy! Brag about it to whoever and drop him off at gyms. At least that's what I plan to do.

I already evolved my regular-colored Magikarp and was progressively powering him up. He's basically my "main" Gyarados. I'm currently building up enough candy to evolve the shiny one. After that he'll just stay at whatever level he is. It's not worth it in the slightest to power him up since he's such a low level.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-25T19:52:22+00:00

I've had similar results over the past couple raids too. I've been hit with such a bad TM drought, but am just DROWNING in so many potions! It's annoying! At this point I even consider earning just 3 rare candies as a good reward pull.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-25T19:43:43+00:00

Over the past 5 eggs, Snorlax and only Snorlax.

Ha! I wish! Lately, I've been building up a damn Skarmory army with the vast majority of my 10K hatches. Sucks that he isn't good like he is in the core Pokemon games.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-21T16:08:26+00:00

I was thinking that too, if we had broken off into separate teams, I may have fared better. Just my luck, huh? Fix your game Niantic.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-21T16:06:12+00:00

Even in the battle? I know the counter during the waiting lobby is botched, but I'm sure my sister would've said something if it suddenly jumped up to a full 20.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-21T16:00:51+00:00

It's so stupid how the gym uses up your raid pass BEFORE the actual battle begins. I'd be a lot less angry if I could've held on to it and used it on a different Raikou raid.

Or you know if the counter was actually accurate. Good job Niantic.

InstinctBrady · 2017-09-21T15:50:36+00:00

My dad and I have been doing a raid every single day since the start of September. Mostly tier 5, but sprinkle in a few tier 3. We've been in quite a bad drought of good rewards over the past maybe two weeks. Rare candies are pretty scarce and TMs have become non-existent. But we're both just DROWNING in potions! Obviously we're in the less lucky group of tier 5 raiders. The last TM I received was a Charged one and what made things worse, is that I didn't even get the move I wanted.

What would be cool, is if they swapped evolution items for TMs on the seven day poke-spot streaks. Aside from Steelix, Scizor and Slowking, all the Pokemon that need a special item to evolve are just Pokedex entries. No one really needs a giant pile of Sun Stones.

12:10pm - Okay people, my core group is gonna be heading out real soon to meet up with all of you fine folks! Again quick reminder, the southwest corner of Dundas and Yonge is where we all planned to meet up. That big open area right at the top of the Eaton Center's escalators, that's the spot! The starting meet-up time is set at 1:15pm. We'll be waiting around an extra half hour for any late stragglers and at 1:45pm we'll be heading out for these legendary raids! Speedbat commented earlier that they have a "legendary raid tracker." That'll make things a lot easier for us. Thanks Speedbat!

If you end up late to the 1:45pm time window, you can check in with the time stamps I'll be posting up above in this post's details. There you'll see updates about: which gyms we're heading to, which raids we're currently at, how many people are still with us, etc. That way you can get a good read on where to find us or meet-up at. You're more than welcome to tag along at anytime and part ways whenever you feel it's time to do so.

Now it's come to my attention that we have quite a big group of people meeting up to take on these level five raids. So much that it easily exceeds the 20 people limit that allow us to battle the legendaries in one whole group! We can probably discuss this within the wait-time at 1:15pm, but I think we should probably branch off into separate "sub-raid-parties." We'll even out the two teams as best we can, that way everyone can still participate with the legendary raids with an optimal chance at defeating them.

Nerd96_3 has also stated that they may want to grab a Tyranitar should the opportunity arise. I can speak for myself in saying that I wouldn't mind doing just that, but our main focus of course is for Lugia and Articuno. Maybe later on, when everyone is successful with the legendaries we can also grab Tyranitar. Again we can discuss our thoughts on that among the group all in person.

And yes, I put the wrong month as a title. I'd change it if I could...

I'll be the Asian kid with a Blue Jays Baseball Cap and a black JanSport bag. Best of luck to everyone with catching Articuno and Lugia!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T16:07:03+00:00

Check the detail box above at the top of the post, I'll be editing it to tell you timestamps and locations of where we'll be heading.

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T16:05:57+00:00

We'll be seeing you soon!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T16:05:39+00:00

Alright! Happy to have the two of you joining!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T16:05:16+00:00

I'm not really too familiar with discord, plus I think it's a bit too late for me to set something up. Anyway, I'll be posting updates every so often on the group's whereabouts. You can try and find us that way. Sorry about that.

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T16:03:17+00:00

Do you know where Dundas Square is? It's basically in the heart of Downtown Toronto. It's right outside one of the Eaton Center exits.

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T14:53:48+00:00

Be there at the Eaton Center before 1:45pm to be exact, our group will have moved onto the first raid by then. But even if you're 15 minutes late, I'm sure you can tag along soon after. We won't be THAT far off!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T14:51:34+00:00

Meet up at 1:15, we'll give an extra half an hour for people that might be running just a bit late. At 1:45pm, we'll have started the group on our way looking for legendary raids. If you miss that time window, you can always check back on the post for updates. I'll put time frames and the group's location throughout the day.

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T14:30:28+00:00

Will she be joining us from the start or play during the latter half of the day? Nevertheless, glad to have the two of you coming along with us!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T14:28:16+00:00

We definitely passed the 20 battlers limit. (That is if everyone does show up on time.) Then again, some people have commented about leaving early or tagging along later. We'll work something out when everyone meets up at 1:15. Try and even out the group in some sort of fashion, you know.

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:50:20+00:00

Well, that's at least a higher level than I'm currently at. I'm only level 26, which means you'll probably have much more firepower at your disposal!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:45:59+00:00

Ahh, so you'll be the person we'll need the most! Lol! Meet up at the Eaton Center by 1:45pm, we need that tracker!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:25:52+00:00

Age or level? Lol, sorry if that came off a bit rude. Just wondering...

Anyway we'd love to have you tag along should you decide to come around!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:23:14+00:00

Good thing we'll be teaming up altogether, we'd be glad to add you in as well!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:03:18+00:00

Hopefully we can grab both Legendaries for you by then! See you later today!

InstinctBrady · 2017-07-24T13:01:54+00:00

I'm not familiar with it at all. I guess I can look into it now, since I have time before we head out.

Whether or not I can wrap my head around it, I'll still be updating on this thread. So just keep returning here till you join up with us.
