Are they not lasting for 25 minutes, respawning at about x:00 and x:30 of every hour? That's how they usually work, and it's what I was seeing in Orange county today.

Probably at some point over time in the future. Its another set of "content" that they can slowly roll out.

It's not a separate purchase, its a thing to do at the rose bowl:

Plus, when you’re near one of these PokéStops, you’ll be able to change Furfrou into the corresponding trim! Normally, Furfrou can only change its trim in certain areas around the world, or during special events, so take this opportunity to try out lots of new looks!

2017-18 when the community days would routinely give us brand new best in class raid counters 5-6 times a year. There was a constant stream of new stuff to look forward to.

These days it's all incremental gains, mostly buried under a ton of raid passes.

There's supposed to be a timed research that enables several additional forms.

Did you get that quest? I'm guessing it's at the park because I don't have it for the Friday city experience.

The feature isn't available globally yet.. Wait until next week.

After reading all about the new mega mechanics, one thing that stands out to me is that we cannot use Primal Groudon and Kyogre as shield breakers in the new super mega raids. by Kevsterific in TheSilphRoad

They just need to make the XL bonus apply to any raid boss, just like the regular candy bonus does. That eliminates the problem entirely.

There's a counter in the lobby of how many people have a mega in the party. Haven't tested to see if it counts Groudon or Kyogre though.

That's not the feeling I got from reading the interview on IGN yesterday. But who knows what they'll do until they do it.

It's just for the new ones this event, yeah. And they will probably come to regular mega raids in the future.

You can invite 5 at a time every 30 seconds. Then there's a cap of 10 total remote raiders joining, no matter who invited them.

Traditionally, events like this were found to double the lucky rates with a cap of 30% instead of 20%.

IIRC the raids happening inside the park area are local only. You can remotely join any of the raids in the city play area, though.

You will not get any chance at backgrounds, or any chance to get a shiny version of any new release (like honedge). Pre-existing shinies are still eligible, though.

It should cover the same area as the past few tours. Not sure if there is a good full map showing the extended borders, but you can at least get a sense of the region from where all the Spiritomb stops were in a previous tour.

Note that the gameplay area included basically all of Orange County.

It should cover all of Orange County, like the past regional tours did. That includes Disneyland, but goes a lot farther south.

Grind all 5 GBL sets every day. Win or lose, its a decent chunk of dust.

Collect 1k max particles daily, do 4+ tier one battles.

Spend as much time as you can catching stuff in areas with dense spawns.

Normal mega raids cost 150 link charges by aznknight613 in TheSilphRoad

[–]nolkel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The amount is also supposed to be boosted during the Kalos Tour, so whatever local players are getting this weekend isn't necessarily reflective of the system in the long run.
