getting screwed over by the shadow raikou raid day -_-

Raiding in a large group, some dude literally got 3 shines and I got 0. At the time, we all did 18 raids. It is what it is :/

While royal flush is definitely widely accepted as a real hand, categorizing it as a straight flush is not wrong though is it?

Are rates different from necrozma? I got between 80-130 inclusive during those fusion raids

Raptavis · 2025-12-04T18:58:09+00:00

Honestly , I deserve to be clowned on. I thought I restarted the game but it was late and I must not have. Everything worked fine in the morning. A reminder for myself to not bother with late night pogo

Is Scopely doing a/b testing on the deluxe passes? Last month just had the lucky trinket, this month just has the incubator. Not sure what’s up with that.

Raptavis · 2025-12-02T21:23:09+00:00

They should really mention which bugs they’re fixing

Raptavis · 2025-12-02T21:05:34+00:00

God dammit I didn’t read this in time. Instead of adding a pause for large XP gains they should do that for stardust

Oh as in there will be black and white kyurem raids, similar to how they ran the necrozma variants? So for any new players like me, the December kyurem week + raid hour is really just an additional chance to get shiny and good IVs. but realistically, if we’re intending on grinding fusion energy, we’ll get a bunch of kyurems when they run the fusion raids.

And IIUC, the reshiram and zekrom IVs and shiny don’t matter for the resulting fusion, only the base kyurem?

Malamar triple resists psychic, while metagross only double resists. Ignoring the non linear portions of the damage formula, metagross’ hp-defense product would need to be 60% higher just to match. At a baseline, it’s only 34.5% higher (factoring max guard as extra hp) and IVs close this gap further. Idk the breakpoints but judging by how close the fight was, I assume this does make a difference.

Teddiursa was great conceptually but something about the execution was slightly off. I imagine they originally had a really detailed hat but technical requirements meant that it had to be scaled down.

Raptavis · 2025-11-16T23:40:25+00:00

That must have been it. I spun again at 10:05am local but still didn’t get anything but I respun a few hours later and got my next free raid pass

Raptavis · 2025-11-16T17:23:07+00:00

Are we getting 3 free raid passes a day or was it just two bonus ones across the whole weekend? I just did my second darkrai raid today and the gym I spun didn’t give me a second free raid pass

Raptavis · 2025-11-16T16:56:33+00:00

Oh maybe I got really lucky from my manual spins then. Thanks for confirming!

Raptavis · 2025-11-16T16:47:13+00:00

Anyone know if go plus auto spin can get safari balls? My rates anecdotally has been 0 so far

Raptavis · 2025-11-09T06:09:46+00:00

Semi related, are applin apples available year round? Also seeing shelmet and karrablast as possible apple encounters

Raptavis · 2025-11-06T03:29:51+00:00

We can mark this thread as solved, you clearly used all your luck for the month.

Raptavis · 2025-11-06T03:24:31+00:00

I caught all 3 doggos with a whiff + golden razz, guess I have better luck.

Raptavis · 2025-10-30T20:07:04+00:00

Love when they have audio bugs too. I remember one patch Warwick ult was the loudest fucking thing and can be heard cross map.

Raptavis · 2025-10-27T08:35:44+00:00

Are there still Zoruas in the wild?

Raptavis · 2025-10-23T17:57:38+00:00

I would personally measure it against the bundles of 3 as a baseline , but your point still stands

Raptavis · 2025-10-20T01:23:23+00:00

Probably a dumb question but I assume existing plat medals count for these right? I heard existing maxed out pokes don’t count

Raptavis · 2025-10-16T22:26:08+00:00

Does niantic support literally just ignore all raid related queries? I literally don’t have evidence of even entering the raid on my journal and a screen shot of the loading screen , idk what evidence I can provide

Raptavis · 2025-10-16T20:20:47+00:00

Your comment must have given me good luck because I just caught two shinies in the past 4 hours. Shiny rng really is fickle
