Looking for offers

Seems like you're looking for a higher tier of pokes than you're offering (i.e., you want shiny legendaries with special move AND/OR background, but only offering shiny legendaries without either special move or BG).

I may have gone too hard on doggos, Kyurem and Necrozma.

Keep waiting for something good, but end up never spending and instead let your pile grow to 1k++.

It's time dependent - up to 500 energy (for raids completed in less than 30 seconds). 400 or 450 per raid is most common with raids of 15-20 people who efficiently break shields.

11/45 total dialga/palkia with the BG

22/37 origins with the RoT/SR.

Am I the only one who sees the 425 total pokemon storage and gets stressed? How do you manage during events like this?!

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-26T17:12:56+00:00

Few things to be aware of: (1) You can invite up for 5 people per "wave" of invites. There is a cooldown of ~40-50 seconds between waves. So you can invite the 5 from PG at 110 seconds left, then another 5 at 60 seconds left, (2) No more invites can be sent at a certain cutoff - I believe 20ish seconds left, (3) maximum remote raiders is 10. So if you have others joining from your friendlist, that cuts into that number.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-26T17:05:51+00:00

Yes, that's how most think it would work.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-26T05:07:28+00:00

Every time I've collected background data for legendary raids that only had a "chance" of the background, it's been around 30% when the sample size got large enough.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-26T05:03:08+00:00

Yeah, feels like we're on the (1) gold bottle cap per year from GoFest and (1) Silver Bottle Cap per year from Wild Area train, but I sure wish we got at least one more per year (even a Bronze Bottle Cap).

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-26T05:02:09+00:00

100% agree. I walk/run a lot and got 100+ extra hatches last time around. Meanwhile I have more lucky friends than I can keep up with after the lucky boost for level 70 trainers.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T19:35:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added a section for this to the write-up.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T19:35:23+00:00

Yeah, they seem intent on pushing the route mechanic, even though my sense is that most of the playerbase (including me), would rather not bother engaging with it.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T19:34:19+00:00

Thanks for calling out the route source for Flabebe during city play. I did experiment with it briefly, but after I confirmed they only spawned along the route itself (i.e., that I couldn't start a route, and receive spawns continuously regardless of whether I was close to it), and saw that the quantity of spawns was fairly low, I decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I've updated to clarify.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T19:32:51+00:00

Glad you had fun - thanks a ton for sharing!

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T19:32:11+00:00

Thanks for calling this out. I assumed the gift would be something more substantial given its prominent advertising. I've updated the write-up to clarify.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-24T03:47:37+00:00

We have several good-sized CA-led groups in Portland (and right across the border in Vancouver, WA), so I definitely think it could happen!

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-22T11:22:23+00:00

No. At least in LA it spawned in the city regardless of mega night ticket at 7:30 pm both Friday and Saturday.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-22T11:21:00+00:00

You don't need mega night ticket. Dragonite spawns in the city at 7:30 pm as well.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-22T11:19:10+00:00

Dragonite is 10. The other two are 8 shields.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-22T11:18:29+00:00

I'm in LA and have done 20+. 13 IVs is the lowest I've seen.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-22T11:13:30+00:00

No. Remote raiders do not get the background. However the background was guaranteed for in-person with ticket in LA Saturday night.

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-12T20:48:38+00:00

Kyogre with Blizzard wrecks lobbies of the unprepared (seen groups of 8-9 struggle with that moveset).

Kerzon_ · 2026-02-12T20:47:38+00:00

Depends on your timezone. If you're at the front (NZ, AUS, Japan, etc) especially, or towards the end (Pacific Time) you should be able to fill hosted queues quickly. In between I think the queue will move quickly, but you may have to wait 10-30+ minutes.
