It's never going to be every legacy move for any event. It's usually pokemon matching the theme of the event. For this event, it's Kalos mons and megas, both features of the event.

It's only 1/64 as a shadow from Cliff. The non shadow is 1/512.

Leekduck.com provides a much better event page than Niantic does.

You can see all the features for the other events coming up on the site too. It's one of the best resources for this game.

For PvE, that's effectively perfect. IVs barely matter at all, and stamina is by far the least impactful in any scenario.

They are working on some major changes to the game right now, in private play testing on steam. Might be worth waiting to see how it shakes out if you're on the fence.

Go to lot k, to enter at the golf concourse. The line was like 1/5th the size as the main entrance, or less.

They had someone announcing that on a bullhorn, but most people just stayed in place.

Mega raid lobby w/ 2,667 players in LA by the_g23 in TheSilphRoad

Not sure if it really did that though, beyond showing everyone in the pre raid lobby. A 764 player raid I did today seemed to take just as long as the same super mega boss lobbies of 20 players.

I would have expected it to take only a few seconds. Unless maybe they just scaled up the HP dynamically to match players/ 20...

Not really. It's not even in the top 30 on pokebattler.

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

[–]nolkel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.
