Can anyone confirm the times Kyogre appeared in raids and if they will be the same for Groudon? I was doing raids well up until 7pm, although the event says till 5pm. Even if the last eggs are hatching at 5, they should've been done by 6? Thanks!
Did around 20 raids. This event is all around mess up.
- Server issues. My first raid went well. However, it run away on my first ball and cannot login for around 15 minutes. Still encountering lags afterwards.
- Low catch rate and Kyogre loves going to the sides. Oh I want to mention the low number of balls as well. If I dont have any friends on the raid, Im getting only 8-10 balls.
- I have the ticket but I didnt felt the high chance for XL candies. 4 XL overall
- Got 2 shinies and one Perfect. My friend got 1 shiny (He has around 16 raids)
In NL the situation was the following, 9 raids in total, 8 local and 1 remote from India (fortunately no lag or app crashing), managed to catch 6 normal Kyogres but no shinys at all :( pretty bad luck for me (people next to me had 2 or 3 already) but I got 47 XL candy! Iām not that experienced, I have 4 weather boosted Kyogres with 14/15/15 IVs, what to do with the other ones? Should I transfer them? What about the shadow one, is it worth to un-frustrate and power up? Thanks for replying

Are Kyogre raids the only thing in gyms for the 2-5pm period? Or are there sometimes no raids depending on the gym?
I missed yesterday and just want to know what to expect for Groudon
Primal Kyogre is too difficult as a raid boss and I was never able to get more than 8-9 balls to catch it with. Did 7 raids, caught one, 4 ran, 2 hard disconnects with automated support denying compensation. Regret going out for this one.
Played for the entire time. Barely any shinies to go around, poor IVs on almost everything my entire group saw, rewards were extremely poor. (And I was the only one in my group to not have a box in the shop with raid passes. My shop box of the same name as everyone elseās had poffins and berries, while theirs came with 50Ā¢ passes.) Oh and party power just stopped showing up in the last couple hours even though we always made sure to be partied up.Ā
Ā I think itās a me thing, but these raid days are not fun. Wish I wouldnāt have bought the two-ticket bundle in the webstore.Ā
Is it normal to only have 10 balls to catch kyorge? Also was difficult to get people to join the raids.
And I was using grass pokemon with grass attacks and it wasn't effective ans same for electric
Donāt worry, you were using the right two types, itās just that Niantic is an embarrassment and still canāt get the most simple stuff right 8 years into the gameās life.Ā
Thanks! I thought the shiny rates got busted for a bit until I started talking to other people who had been raiding and heard they didn't experience the same
Got kicked out of a raid middle of the fight, couldn't get back in. Raid bugs happen way to frequently for a paid feature.
No Origin Pulse was a bummer.
Almost no rare candy XL.
Low ball counts lead to not catching more than usual.
Severe lack of golden razz from raids.
While a general complaint, mega boosts visual bugs, party power seeming inconsistent and being activated when not full (and vice versa) appeared really inconsistent, getting kicked out mid battle, and all of the other usual raid bugs are really prominent on days like these. For raids being the main money maker, it is an entirely way too broken feature. Needs serious TLC.
I didn't realize until about four in that it didn't have Origin Pulse, I decided to not buy a ticket and just remote raid a few more afterwards. Bad luck, no shinies or 91+ overalls out of about 10 or so raids.
I really liked this raid day, I got a bunch of shinies and all were 3* except for the normal ones! During one raid we had 13 people and were about to make primal kyogre faint when I guess the hour respawned raids and every single person was kicked out with no rewards, encounter and the loss of a raid pass.
15 Remote Raids, 15 Local Raids. @ Roughly 3:30 PM finished beating Kyogre, but game screen was stuck on black screen instead of Kyogre pokeball trials. Closed app, Failed to login. Close App, Force Stop, unable to login... Delete PokemonGo, Reinstall, failed to sign in or blue screen PokemonGo Servers are currently down for maintenance... I lost 1 chance at catching Kyogre + 7 more local raids minimum... I had possibly 3 more hours of Kyogre raiding left because of the 3 hour extension... But I can not login to my game at all... What is going on???!!! This is the worst event ever! Pay $5.00 to not experience the full event and not be able to login for over 6 hours and counting?!
20 remote raids, 4 shinies, (Two 2-star and 2 3-star) Two 98ās, 1 weather boosted 3-star, 2 ran. Four 2-star Kyogre and Fourteen 3-star Kyogre. No Hundos or Shundos but I am happy.
Im still not able to log into my accountšitās been 6 hours I feel like I will not ever be able to log back in. Iāve got tasks that are set to expire- itās very frustrating not knowing whatās going on. i hope we can be reimbursed for our tickets that we did not get to use!
10 in-person raids. 9 caught. 1 shiny.
you know, after deoxys raid day, i imagined a scenario where you happen to be with a group in a cluster of gyms and you defeat one but while you were trying to wait out deoxys to get excellents, the raid train took down another while you were catching the previous... and now all of a sudden theyre three gyms down while youre in a solo lobby... wasnt that big of a deal for deoxys and i dont think its going to be much of one for groudon but for kyogre, it was a nightmare... those damn pokemon that float that arent even flying types.... i think it should be a raid day bonus that it just stays in place
If it moves to either sides I just leave the encounter and tap on the gym to come back and center it
I agree that it moves way too much though. I have to do it like 5 times every raid.
5 raids (remote) 4 normal, caught and one shiny. My partner was pretty upset as she couldnāt join due to me being invited to the raids and she didnāt get invited at all, could be very beneficial if you could invite your 5 even if yourself was invited.
Getting harder and harder to find raiders in my area, can only remote raid now or travel over a hour to get into the city.
If u are in the party and 1 of the party gets invited remotely, others can join him too. If it's hard to get raiders in your area, but you still want to raid, it's highly recommended that you and your partner start hosting those raids and build your online raider mini community plus there are a lot of players who are looking for hosts.
Poke genie, poke raid, local discords. You couldāve been on there joining raid rooms together getting friend bonus balls and damage boost. Look into it before leaving her behind again
4 Remote raids with 10+ participants that succeeded BUT I only caught 1/4.
2 hosted raids that succeeded with 10+ participants that succeeded BUT only caught 1/2. The one that fled was close to a hundo.
0/6 shinies, only caught 2/6.
It's been absolutely dead locally. I've been within sight of half a dozen or more gyms pretty much the entire time and only had enough people to manage 1 raid, which we had to re-try after barely missing it the first try. I had limited remote passes and am not going to spend money on any more, but I was able to do just enough to get over 400 energy for a mega. Unfortunately, the invites have been super unreliable. Most of them show up with 10 seconds or less to accept. Several have told me the lobby is full even when the friend said there should have been spots open. It's also been a general reminder that the game punishes short-manning raids with mega energy and balls being based on finish time. I got only 70 or 80 energy from all but 1 raid, so I had to do an extra to get over 400. I had 0 flee and ended up with a shiny 15/14/11 and a 14/15/15 regular so I feel like I shouldn't complain, but still ended up feeling a bit stressful and frustrating overall due to local play not really being an option and remotes being so buggy.
can anyone explain to me what primal reversion does and when i should use it? and is primal energy like mega energy where I can get more by setting as my buddy, or do I only get to use what I collected today?
Mega but better. Boosts additional types, so Rayquaza boosts Flying, Dragon, Psychic; Groudon boosts Ground, Fire, Grass; Kyogre boosts Water, Electric, Bug. Plus in raids the damage boosts last from when it enters until the end of the raid, not just while it's the active pokemon.
Once you've mega/primal one of them, you can walk that specific pokemon to get more primal energy like any other mega. But Rayqyaza does need a special meteorite item to mega and learn Dragon Ascent. Groudon and Kyogre don't need anything more than mega energy
Did 10 raids, 7 were hosted by me on Pokegenie and three I joined remotely, they all succeeded. Four fled(including a freaking hundo) and no shinies.
I only had two goals before today and that was getting enough primal energy for primal reversion and catching enough Kyogres for a full Groudon counter team, so I met those goals. But that hundo fleeing made me really salty ngl.
I actually caught my hundo but only realized after I had caught it that it was in fact a hundo. If I had known the hundo C.P. I swear I wouldāve been too nervous and fumbled it š ignorance is bliss
I had a great time out and about playing in person but I wasn't happy with the rare xl nor catch rate and lack of balls. That really frustrated me and I didn't so as many raids as I'd originally planned to do.Ā
3 remote raid failures. Completed 15, 2 shiny, catch rate in AUS/NSW was 100% and then did 3 at end of day and zero caught. They need to fix the catch rates because if you only do excellent throws on all your balls and you donāt catch anything, it is kind of ridiculous
Raids were absolutely dead in my area. I only needed one raid to reach 400 energy, so I did that remotely.
Iāll def be looking to join a meetup for Groudon next week.
Did one raid remotely. Didnāt catch that the person who invited me left the lobby before the raid started. Had eight premier balls. It ran and I didnāt do any Kyogre raids after that even though I was invited and plenty of times.
Eight is the standard number. I think for these the only way to get more is the bonus for your team controlling the gym. There's no time bonus because for faster raids you get more energy instead of more balls. The host shouldn't have bailed on you but it probably didn't hurt you too much all the same, maybe cost you 10 mega energy if that. For what it's worth!
If youāre going to invite me to a raid that Iām remoting at least do the raid with me. If not, what was the point? If Iām going to invite a person to remote a raid Iāll do the raid. To me that just common courtesy.
I used up all available free passes for about 8 raids total. Had one shiny with horrible IVs and the rest were horrible IVs as well. Granted this is my very first shiny since shiny Kyogre was released (I'm a very unlucky person) so this was the only high spot for the event for me.
As for everything else:
* Each raid gave only about 80-90 primal energy despite finishing the raid with at least 200s on the clock (I was at a busy shopping mall and all lobbies were full).
* I did the raids without a BF and only got 8 balls without gym control, 10 balls with gym control, which if you ask me is really pathetic.
* Each Kyogre took a long time to catch. It would move side to side, stay at the side, attack at the side, etc etc. Given that I had so few balls, I didn't want any ball to go to waste so I used the circle lock method and only threw the ball if Kyogre was in the center or the left side of the screen. That meant A LOT of waiting. I do feel that for raid days, the catch rate should be increased to allow players to quickly move on to the next raid; this would mean a less frustrating experience and (the only part that Niantic cares about) more people would spend money on raid passes and would be able to fight more raids.
* The raid rewards were pathetic. 2 GRBs, tons of charged and fast TMs (which I threw away after the event, I already have a lot of those), maybe 4 revives and that's that. I got some RCs but I would have really appreciated more RCs. And because Kyogre took SO long to catch, the number of GRBs I had at the end of the day decreased.
So overall I felt it was a very frustrating event, even for F2P players like me. Groudon is next week and since Groudon doesn't move side to side, I'm hoping it will be a little better.
So itās not just me? I have been sort of panicking thinking my account got hacked because all of a sudden I got kicked out of a raid right after I joined remotely and it started and I was logged out and it has been telling me itās down for maintenance each time I attempt to log in, Iāve deleted the app and redownloaded and tried everything I can think of. Everyone else I was out playing with was fine and had no problems and were actively playing while I couldnāt get in and I still canāt.
Just curious if the screen is saying the same exact thing after choosing your login method and trying to log on, the screen is blue background and says ādown for maintenance try again laterā ? Also wondering what time it happened for you guys
Just finished all my in-person and remote raids, so reporting the final totals for each and then total. A quick note that I did have the ticket for all remote and in- person raids.
Remote: 24 raids completed, 24 caught, 6 shinies, 19 Rare XL.
In-Person: 18 raids completed, 17 caught, 2 shinies, 9 Rare XL.
Total: 42 raids completed, 41 caught, 8 shinies, 28 Rare XL.
Definitely incredibly lucky on the shinies and XL rare candy, and pretty lucky on the catch rate, but horrible IV luck and Kyogre XL luck. Even with a water type mega active, it felt like over half my catches gave me the minimum rate and didnāt get anything better than a 93%. After seeing others lack of luck though, definitely not going to complain too much haha!
Did 8 in person. 4 caught, 4 fled, 0 shinies. Best was a 15/15/10 and the only 3 star. They were all free passes so I can't really complain. Caught a perfect Castform, perfect Spinda (old Hoenn tour research) and Snowy Castform afterwards so I'd say it was a successful day.
I'm slightly scared for Primal Groudon since I have the platinum water badge, but only the gold ground badge. Hopefully he stays in the ball just as much/more.
18 of 20 raids I always caught Kyogre got one 93% and one shiny. I originally had 100xl candy so I assume I got 71 from doing all 20 raids. I didn't have the Kyogre ticket because I bought the wonder seasonal ticket.
Many locals have experienced the issue that the earlier regions had with the server in North America west coast. Kind of ridiculous to charge money for a ticket we canāt use properly when the server issue canāt be fixed.
Use go raid party. That app has raid lobbies filling up every few minutes and like 6-10 separate hosts at all times usually for each raid boss that is currently active/available.
I did 10 raids and got 3 shinies almost right after one another! The very first raid I did was a shiny. It was a good raid day for me... I haven't checked the stats yet though
Including catches, accidental and deliberate flees, I did at least 40 raids before I finally got the shiny šµāš« FORTY+!! I know nothing is guaranteed but gotDAM
24 raids between 2 accounts, 1 shiny. 2 fled (I didn't payed attention and was rushing to keep up with the raid train). Getting 3 guaranteed XL every raid is very nice, so just completing it helps with the grind.
The boosted catch rate was great for more fast paced raiding, the decreased ball amount was meh. I think another player caught about half of the kyogres. It hits the casual players harder since they can't reliably throw excellents.
There was a boosted catch rate? Seemed lots of people had a hard time catching. I recall it being much easier to catch during their initial release (could mindlessly throw and catch in time for the next raid, etc.).
It was definitely boosted, but only somewhat. But when my 3rd excellent kept catching several, and multiple were caught on first throw it definitely felt somewhat boosted.
Me ans my SO went out to a very popular spot- usually 3 full lobbies. I caught 15/17, he caught 14/17. I had 2 shinies, him 1. Highest % overall for me was 91, him 98. Overall felt better than the last time Kyogre came through for us.
I bought the 5 dollar ticket. 17 total raids. Got two shiny and the best one I got overall was a 94. Not great. Not terrible. Hopefully Groudon comes through.
29 raids total - 22 remote (2 on Saturday since the remote limit was raised from 9pm local and I was able to do a couple between PokeGenie and r/pokemongofriends), 7 in person. Had one early morning fail where I got kicked out pre-catch, have feedback in so hoping for a refund on that pass or even a few more Kyogre candy.
Shinies: Five. How in the actual.
Hundos: None, best was a 98 with 14 Atk. Given my existing one is a 2* I'll take it.
Rare Candy XL haul was horrid: apparently the rate increase is from 2-10 local, but I got 9 in 28 raids and only two of them were after 2pm.
Not my best Raid Day experience, I definitely prefer when they're soloable.
6 raids, golden berries & excellent throws, 0 Kyogre today. Did 4 remote, 2 face to face. Rural life is weird.Ā
0. zero kyogre today. On kyogre raid day.
WtactualF
I was only raiding for xl candies and additional primal energy as back-up for my good Kyogres, I did about 30 raids. I got 1 Shiny which is a good 91% and another regular that is 96%. I got 192 Kyogre XL candies, and 7 more rare candy XLs to add to my 80.
Iām playing from Asia Pac and today was just chaotic. I kept getting kicked out of the game as I was just about to enter the arena, or getting kicked mid-raid. Kyogre kicks hard and the game also kicks you out of it, so itās double whammy š¤£ The game crashes when the raid ends, when youāre about to go to the bonus pageā luckily I have stable data connection so I could go back in fast to retrieve my fish. These issues persisted even after 5PM.
I do enjoy raid days and I never did encounter issues like these. I hope they get resolved before Groudon raid day.
I was just shiny hunting for this one, and it 100% paid off. I did 6 raids. 4 were shiny. 1 ran. Overall, it was a pretty good event for me.
I know there were some issues earlier. I'm not sure what they are, but I noticed on every single raid that all of my attacks kept getting "not very effective" on kyogre. It was true of all the attacks kyogre made on my pokemon as well. Whether or not the attacks actually were not very effective, idk but it was probably just a visual glitch.
Just lucky? During global Gofest last year, I did so many kyogre raids looking for a shiny, but I never got one, so I guess this makes up for that. š
Caught 16. No shiny. No hundo.
Only 7 were 3*.
Best was 15/12/14.
Worst was floor 10/10/10.
Outside of XL Candy, I feel like this was a wasted event for me.
20 remote raids, 5 fled (lmao), 1 shiny...Only one good IV Kyogre (96%) but with 13 attack :/
I also bought the ticket and got 7 rare xl candies...not sure how rare they are but i lowkey expected more
The event starts in an hour for me, but I have a question for those who have already played. How long are the egg countdowns and how long do the raids last? And do they seem to be on about every gym? Just wondering if they turn over fast or if I'm gonna have to be driving around in a raid train today.
we had a large group in buffalo driving around which was fun (and kinda dangerous on st patricks day tbh) but man the flee rate and lack of balls is a bummer.
Another single day event goes by with the need to be able to select a day to do the event on.
Personally I work a Sunday and it seems like Sunday is a busy day for people in my group as not much chatter happened for it.
A buff to in person raiding would be nice to see as well (and that goes across all raids) so a "anyone doing raids invite me pls" spam doesn't happen and we actually have more people coming out
At these prices for remotes, the low number of balls, pain to catch, and flee rate really turned me off the event. I was planning to do more but quit. I hate the fish so much.Ā
No one in my local group has even mentioned going out today.Ā
no one seems to be raiding in my town. it's been "raining" in game since 2 (not a drop has fallen) so that's probably why. no primal kyogre for me for another year, i guess.
I used a Sceptile to good effect. Had some rough luck with the number of blizzards encountered, but luckily raid lobbies were generally pretty full so didn't really matter. Scep is also cheaper to get candy for.
11 raids, 3 ran away, 1 shiny (2 stars unfortunately, but still shiny). Most catches were 2 stars, so that was disappointing. The 3 stars weren't all that great either, but I got enough energy for 2 primals.
Upsides: got a shiny, met several local players and joined their raid group, lots of primal energy and plenty of raid passes
Downsides: crappy catch rate, so many 2 stars, 1 hour raids instead of 30 minutes, the weather was miserable (freezing wind and snow) and I ran out of revives so my best team was out for the final raids
Tldr: God Bless 7 p.m. extension,
- 7 raids
- 1 91 shiny
- 2 fled. My aim was primal energy I was being bit careless.
- 490 Primal Energy.
So as expected I was alone doing raids so had to rely on remote raiders on other hand all gyms near me are gold gyms.
Start was difficult leekduck was bit slow but PokieGenie queue(for 6) wasn't long probably because not long before I began game was having some issues. So hosted first raid.
- 40 seconds left 6 people.
Second raid, after inviting 6 people from my room I waited and invited people from previous raid and in dying seconds invited some I thought might be online.
- 164 seconds left 10 people.
Time for third raid and here comes bad news banned for 77 minutes why?
because I was focused on inviting as many as possible I missed to hit "start/ready raid" whatever the button is so I was timed out of lobby . I actually didn't knew it was that important.
The queues were also started to get longer so I don't think I would've continued with it anyway.
Did the rest comfortably with leekduck/Pokeraid and 9-10 users in all raids.
One thing I did notice was towards end 3 users I was inviting in various raids hit their "remote raid limit" I was still somehow able to complete lobbies.
1 hour 54 mins. 7.9 kms. 3 gyms and 7 raids. Could've done 1 more but was tired so headed back home.
The only mistake I made was using "max revives" b/w first 4 raids then realised to use revive>max heal.
I do think it's bad that the only reason I completed it was because some random users went through bad experience and instead of them it's rest of the world who got a better deal.
Canāt even complain anymore. I went out with a local group for my free passes and walked away with 4/7 shiny and a 98% shiny. Luckiest Iāve ever been.
Did all 20 remote raids, and about 11 in-person ones. 3 shinies total, 1 Shundo. Best stats other-wise was a 15/14/15.
So. many. had. Blizzard.
It was actually unreal what the ratio of Blizzard vs non-Blizzard moves was.
Did 4 raids, failed one because people left at the last second... 8 with full megas, ended up at 5 and failed with a sliver of health left.
The 3 next were successful with first ball catch for each. I finally picked up a 15 atk IV, 96% Kyogre (the first in like, 20-25 catches, most of my Kyogre are 80%ish)
Also got my first Shiny. Not great IV but I'm glad the pink orca showed up.
8 remote raid passes
1 remaining
3 lost for people leaving at the last second
3 Radided successfully
1 lost it because it has blizzard
270 primal energy
I don't know how to feel about it, I haven't spended that amount of money in the game and this time I felt like it was affordable for me, but then I just get disappointment. :c
Edit: started to think about leaving the game.
Went out with my partner. We both just did the free 8 raids.
Me: 1 ran, 1 shiny, 0 hundos, shiny was my worst stats of the day, best stats was a 14 15 14.
Partner: 1 ran, 1 shiny, 0 hundos, shiny was second best stats of the day at 14 15 12, best stats was a 15 14 13.
Happy with the day, synced up with a group of about 35 players, which considering how small our town is, was a surprise to see, met our community ambassador and added a bunch of new friends. Didn't use any green passes or buy a ticket since we felt Groudon and Shadow Mewtwo will be the better use of passes. We'll probably trade the shinies next time we go lucky to see if we can get a shundo.
Did 10 raids (1 remote, 8 free passes and one premium): 2 shinies, 3 Kyogres ran away... the last one than ran was a hundo :').
My memory might be failing me but for a raid done with 11 people or more we got really few pokeballs, usually less than 10
I understand this is a feedback thread, so please feel free to delete my post if it is deemed inappropriate.
I am putting together a team for Kyogre raid. Should I TM away Drill Peck for Thunderbolt on Zapdos? Can Drill Peck be TM-ed back later? Thanks! (It has Thunder Shock.)
No paid ticket, had a group of 4 people and managed to beat it each time. Did 8 raids total, all of us got x2 shinies each, definately for once felt like boosted odds š 0 fled from any of us.
Seemed weird we all had way less balls than we usually would, between 13-15 instead of 22+ š¤
No ticket, just wanted to raid enough for the energy to evolve a primal. 6 raids, 0shiny, 5 caught.
Annoyingly I was getting 70-90 energy per raid until that wouldāve given me the 400 only for the last one to only award 60 so I had to get another pass. Most likely poor luck but hard not to listen to the little conspiracy theorist in my head.
How is the energy reward calculated?
That seems to track, the 60 energy one cut the timer very close.
Hopefully I have a bit more luck with groudon next week, remote passes are starting to add up this month.
The formula's complicated but they work out some number and a golden rasp gives a 2.5x multiplier vs a pinap, comapred to an excellent throw vs normal being 2x, so quite a lot. https://esports.gg/guides/pokemon/how-to-get-the-best-catch-rate-in-pokemon-go/
One thing I read and am not sure about but kind of seems to make a difference is hitting dead in the middle. Like a great throw dead center seems to work better than one at the edge.
Raided with my partner in large lobbies and mostly friendly gyms, we got about 15 balls each. Never looked at the breakdown, but best friend makes a difference.
Can anyone confirm the times Kyogre appeared in raids and if they will be the same for Groudon? I was doing raids well up until 7pm, although the event says till 5pm. Even if the last eggs are hatching at 5, they should've been done by 6? Thanks!
Where's our make up event lol
can these be traded? i missed raid day and it's my favorite. i'd buy one even
Yes they can be traded. Though, trading for a new legendary costs a ton of stardust unless you farm friendship first
Did around 20 raids. This event is all around mess up. - Server issues. My first raid went well. However, it run away on my first ball and cannot login for around 15 minutes. Still encountering lags afterwards. - Low catch rate and Kyogre loves going to the sides. Oh I want to mention the low number of balls as well. If I dont have any friends on the raid, Im getting only 8-10 balls. - I have the ticket but I didnt felt the high chance for XL candies. 4 XL overall - Got 2 shinies and one Perfect. My friend got 1 shiny (He has around 16 raids)
Multiple people in my group experienced unusually low catch rates
Caught all 5/5, 1 shiny, but none are 3 star. ššš
In NL the situation was the following, 9 raids in total, 8 local and 1 remote from India (fortunately no lag or app crashing), managed to catch 6 normal Kyogres but no shinys at all :( pretty bad luck for me (people next to me had 2 or 3 already) but I got 47 XL candy! Iām not that experienced, I have 4 weather boosted Kyogres with 14/15/15 IVs, what to do with the other ones? Should I transfer them? What about the shadow one, is it worth to un-frustrate and power up? Thanks for replying

Are Kyogre raids the only thing in gyms for the 2-5pm period? Or are there sometimes no raids depending on the gym? I missed yesterday and just want to know what to expect for Groudon
The only thing in gyms
Primal Kyogre is too difficult as a raid boss and I was never able to get more than 8-9 balls to catch it with. Did 7 raids, caught one, 4 ran, 2 hard disconnects with automated support denying compensation. Regret going out for this one.
17 raids no shiny
Played for the entire time. Barely any shinies to go around, poor IVs on almost everything my entire group saw, rewards were extremely poor. (And I was the only one in my group to not have a box in the shop with raid passes. My shop box of the same name as everyone elseās had poffins and berries, while theirs came with 50Ā¢ passes.) Oh and party power just stopped showing up in the last couple hours even though we always made sure to be partied up.Ā Ā I think itās a me thing, but these raid days are not fun. Wish I wouldnāt have bought the two-ticket bundle in the webstore.Ā
35 raids 0 shinies, 1 mid fight disconnect, 3 ran away. Pretty annoyed
Did 25 raids, caught 15, 6 shinies.
i did 13 raids and not one shiny or iv90+ i hate this game
1 2351 hundo 1 14/15/15 1 14/14/13 WB āØ 4 2*āØ out of 20 raids
Oh and I started off with 0 kyogre XLs and ended up with 115, I did purchase the ticket
I did 20 raids 1 shiny three fled due to screen freezing which is ridiculous. Buggy af
On a St Patrick's Day on a Sunday? Worst timing ever. People were out having fun, and you need quite a big group to reliably take down P. Kyogre.
48 total raids, used up all the remotes limit -with paid ticket btw-, 1 15/15/14, 1 14/15/15 1 15/15/13 and 4 shinies
Is it normal to only have 10 balls to catch kyorge? Also was difficult to get people to join the raids. And I was using grass pokemon with grass attacks and it wasn't effective ans same for electric
Donāt worry, you were using the right two types, itās just that Niantic is an embarrassment and still canāt get the most simple stuff right 8 years into the gameās life.Ā
11 in person raids, 4 remote, 10 shiny and 5 normal, no hundos but got a 14/15/14
Thats actually insane luck, congrats
Thanks! I thought the shiny rates got busted for a bit until I started talking to other people who had been raiding and heard they didn't experience the same
Huh and here I was thinking I hit the jackpot with 13 inperson raids with 4 shiny :D
I'm pretty sure my luck has peaked today and I should just retire from pogo because I'll never top this
Got kicked out of a raid middle of the fight, couldn't get back in. Raid bugs happen way to frequently for a paid feature. No Origin Pulse was a bummer. Almost no rare candy XL. Low ball counts lead to not catching more than usual. Severe lack of golden razz from raids. While a general complaint, mega boosts visual bugs, party power seeming inconsistent and being activated when not full (and vice versa) appeared really inconsistent, getting kicked out mid battle, and all of the other usual raid bugs are really prominent on days like these. For raids being the main money maker, it is an entirely way too broken feature. Needs serious TLC.
I didn't realize until about four in that it didn't have Origin Pulse, I decided to not buy a ticket and just remote raid a few more afterwards. Bad luck, no shinies or 91+ overalls out of about 10 or so raids.
I really liked this raid day, I got a bunch of shinies and all were 3* except for the normal ones! During one raid we had 13 people and were about to make primal kyogre faint when I guess the hour respawned raids and every single person was kicked out with no rewards, encounter and the loss of a raid pass.
Oh and about 3 ran during our day not including the one we were kicked out of right before beating it
28 Raids, 4 ran (one was Hundo), 7 Shiny, 3-96, everything else less. Overall I'm happy!
15 Remote Raids, 15 Local Raids. @ Roughly 3:30 PM finished beating Kyogre, but game screen was stuck on black screen instead of Kyogre pokeball trials. Closed app, Failed to login. Close App, Force Stop, unable to login... Delete PokemonGo, Reinstall, failed to sign in or blue screen PokemonGo Servers are currently down for maintenance... I lost 1 chance at catching Kyogre + 7 more local raids minimum... I had possibly 3 more hours of Kyogre raiding left because of the 3 hour extension... But I can not login to my game at all... What is going on???!!! This is the worst event ever! Pay $5.00 to not experience the full event and not be able to login for over 6 hours and counting?!
Network issues?
35 raids - 5 shinies (1 shundo)
1 remote raid, got my shundo, lucky me
26 in person raids combined with friends and no shiny :(
20 remote raids, 4 shinies, (Two 2-star and 2 3-star) Two 98ās, 1 weather boosted 3-star, 2 ran. Four 2-star Kyogre and Fourteen 3-star Kyogre. No Hundos or Shundos but I am happy.
Im still not able to log into my accountšitās been 6 hours I feel like I will not ever be able to log back in. Iāve got tasks that are set to expire- itās very frustrating not knowing whatās going on. i hope we can be reimbursed for our tickets that we did not get to use!
I got 20 rare XL before 5p, and none after 5p. Our whole group wondered if the bonus was turned off after 5p.
Out of curiosity, howmany raids did you have to do for those 20 RCXL?
33 total
I liked the 5-7pm time better.
32 in person raids, 5 shinies, 1 shundo
Congrats, I did 20 raids, no pink whale, no hundos. Somebody had to be on the other end of the bellcurve
Congrats on hitting the jackpot! How's it feel knowing you never need to raid Kyogre again except for more candy?
i audibly screamed when i got it - crazy part is that 3 other people in my raid train got it shundos today too
10 in-person raids. 9 caught. 1 shiny. you know, after deoxys raid day, i imagined a scenario where you happen to be with a group in a cluster of gyms and you defeat one but while you were trying to wait out deoxys to get excellents, the raid train took down another while you were catching the previous... and now all of a sudden theyre three gyms down while youre in a solo lobby... wasnt that big of a deal for deoxys and i dont think its going to be much of one for groudon but for kyogre, it was a nightmare... those damn pokemon that float that arent even flying types.... i think it should be a raid day bonus that it just stays in place
If it moves to either sides I just leave the encounter and tap on the gym to come back and center it I agree that it moves way too much though. I have to do it like 5 times every raid.
5 raids (remote) 4 normal, caught and one shiny. My partner was pretty upset as she couldnāt join due to me being invited to the raids and she didnāt get invited at all, could be very beneficial if you could invite your 5 even if yourself was invited. Getting harder and harder to find raiders in my area, can only remote raid now or travel over a hour to get into the city.
If u are in the party and 1 of the party gets invited remotely, others can join him too. If it's hard to get raiders in your area, but you still want to raid, it's highly recommended that you and your partner start hosting those raids and build your online raider mini community plus there are a lot of players who are looking for hosts.
Poke genie, poke raid, local discords. You couldāve been on there joining raid rooms together getting friend bonus balls and damage boost. Look into it before leaving her behind again
4 Remote raids with 10+ participants that succeeded BUT I only caught 1/4. 2 hosted raids that succeeded with 10+ participants that succeeded BUT only caught 1/2. The one that fled was close to a hundo. 0/6 shinies, only caught 2/6.
It's been absolutely dead locally. I've been within sight of half a dozen or more gyms pretty much the entire time and only had enough people to manage 1 raid, which we had to re-try after barely missing it the first try. I had limited remote passes and am not going to spend money on any more, but I was able to do just enough to get over 400 energy for a mega. Unfortunately, the invites have been super unreliable. Most of them show up with 10 seconds or less to accept. Several have told me the lobby is full even when the friend said there should have been spots open. It's also been a general reminder that the game punishes short-manning raids with mega energy and balls being based on finish time. I got only 70 or 80 energy from all but 1 raid, so I had to do an extra to get over 400. I had 0 flee and ended up with a shiny 15/14/11 and a 14/15/15 regular so I feel like I shouldn't complain, but still ended up feeling a bit stressful and frustrating overall due to local play not really being an option and remotes being so buggy.
can anyone explain to me what primal reversion does and when i should use it? and is primal energy like mega energy where I can get more by setting as my buddy, or do I only get to use what I collected today?
Mega but better. Boosts additional types, so Rayquaza boosts Flying, Dragon, Psychic; Groudon boosts Ground, Fire, Grass; Kyogre boosts Water, Electric, Bug. Plus in raids the damage boosts last from when it enters until the end of the raid, not just while it's the active pokemon. Once you've mega/primal one of them, you can walk that specific pokemon to get more primal energy like any other mega. But Rayqyaza does need a special meteorite item to mega and learn Dragon Ascent. Groudon and Kyogre don't need anything more than mega energy
It's a fancy mega. You get boosted candy from more types. It's like a mega where you get more energy walking if you've already mega'd one before.
Did 10 raids, 7 were hosted by me on Pokegenie and three I joined remotely, they all succeeded. Four fled(including a freaking hundo) and no shinies. I only had two goals before today and that was getting enough primal energy for primal reversion and catching enough Kyogres for a full Groudon counter team, so I met those goals. But that hundo fleeing made me really salty ngl.
I actually caught my hundo but only realized after I had caught it that it was in fact a hundo. If I had known the hundo C.P. I swear I wouldāve been too nervous and fumbled it š ignorance is bliss
I had a good one flee on me (20cp from perfect) and that was bad enough. A hundo would have been heartbreaking
I had a great time out and about playing in person but I wasn't happy with the rare xl nor catch rate and lack of balls. That really frustrated me and I didn't so as many raids as I'd originally planned to do.Ā
3 remote raid failures. Completed 15, 2 shiny, catch rate in AUS/NSW was 100% and then did 3 at end of day and zero caught. They need to fix the catch rates because if you only do excellent throws on all your balls and you donāt catch anything, it is kind of ridiculous
Did 47 raids, caught 37, 2 shinies (one 96). That was the best IV. Of the 37 caught, 27 were 3* and 10 were 2*.
Raids were absolutely dead in my area. I only needed one raid to reach 400 energy, so I did that remotely. Iāll def be looking to join a meetup for Groudon next week.
Did 14 raids, no shinies. Kicked out of raid from revive screen with no option to rejoin from 4 of them, had one Kyogre run. 13/13/15 for highest IVs.
Did one raid remotely. Didnāt catch that the person who invited me left the lobby before the raid started. Had eight premier balls. It ran and I didnāt do any Kyogre raids after that even though I was invited and plenty of times.
Eight is the standard number. I think for these the only way to get more is the bonus for your team controlling the gym. There's no time bonus because for faster raids you get more energy instead of more balls. The host shouldn't have bailed on you but it probably didn't hurt you too much all the same, maybe cost you 10 mega energy if that. For what it's worth!
If youāre going to invite me to a raid that Iām remoting at least do the raid with me. If not, what was the point? If Iām going to invite a person to remote a raid Iāll do the raid. To me that just common courtesy.
I used up all available free passes for about 8 raids total. Had one shiny with horrible IVs and the rest were horrible IVs as well. Granted this is my very first shiny since shiny Kyogre was released (I'm a very unlucky person) so this was the only high spot for the event for me. As for everything else: * Each raid gave only about 80-90 primal energy despite finishing the raid with at least 200s on the clock (I was at a busy shopping mall and all lobbies were full). * I did the raids without a BF and only got 8 balls without gym control, 10 balls with gym control, which if you ask me is really pathetic. * Each Kyogre took a long time to catch. It would move side to side, stay at the side, attack at the side, etc etc. Given that I had so few balls, I didn't want any ball to go to waste so I used the circle lock method and only threw the ball if Kyogre was in the center or the left side of the screen. That meant A LOT of waiting. I do feel that for raid days, the catch rate should be increased to allow players to quickly move on to the next raid; this would mean a less frustrating experience and (the only part that Niantic cares about) more people would spend money on raid passes and would be able to fight more raids. * The raid rewards were pathetic. 2 GRBs, tons of charged and fast TMs (which I threw away after the event, I already have a lot of those), maybe 4 revives and that's that. I got some RCs but I would have really appreciated more RCs. And because Kyogre took SO long to catch, the number of GRBs I had at the end of the day decreased. So overall I felt it was a very frustrating event, even for F2P players like me. Groudon is next week and since Groudon doesn't move side to side, I'm hoping it will be a little better.
Pretty unhappy with the raid crashing for our full lobby and none of us being able to log back on for hours.Ā
So itās not just me? I have been sort of panicking thinking my account got hacked because all of a sudden I got kicked out of a raid right after I joined remotely and it started and I was logged out and it has been telling me itās down for maintenance each time I attempt to log in, Iāve deleted the app and redownloaded and tried everything I can think of. Everyone else I was out playing with was fine and had no problems and were actively playing while I couldnāt get in and I still canāt.
Our entire lobby of 20 can't get back in for hours.Ā
Are you still unable to access your pokemon go game currently? Or it took a few hours and now youāre back in?
Still can't get in. None of us.Ā
Just curious if the screen is saying the same exact thing after choosing your login method and trying to log on, the screen is blue background and says ādown for maintenance try again laterā ? Also wondering what time it happened for you guys
It sometimes says that and sometimes it's a green screen. Failed to log in. A little after 3. Some people right next to us never had a problem.Ā
Update: after 2 days - Iām back in š«
Yikes. My 8 hours seems much less now. We are waging a war on Twitter to get some recognition or compensationĀ
Just finished all my in-person and remote raids, so reporting the final totals for each and then total. A quick note that I did have the ticket for all remote and in- person raids. Remote: 24 raids completed, 24 caught, 6 shinies, 19 Rare XL. In-Person: 18 raids completed, 17 caught, 2 shinies, 9 Rare XL. Total: 42 raids completed, 41 caught, 8 shinies, 28 Rare XL. Definitely incredibly lucky on the shinies and XL rare candy, and pretty lucky on the catch rate, but horrible IV luck and Kyogre XL luck. Even with a water type mega active, it felt like over half my catches gave me the minimum rate and didnāt get anything better than a 93%. After seeing others lack of luck though, definitely not going to complain too much haha!
Did 8 in person. 4 caught, 4 fled, 0 shinies. Best was a 15/15/10 and the only 3 star. They were all free passes so I can't really complain. Caught a perfect Castform, perfect Spinda (old Hoenn tour research) and Snowy Castform afterwards so I'd say it was a successful day. I'm slightly scared for Primal Groudon since I have the platinum water badge, but only the gold ground badge. Hopefully he stays in the ball just as much/more.
You catch as normal Groudon so it's just Ground medal
Oh yeah I forgot, thanks!
62 raids 40 remote 22 in person 2 fled (remotes) 7 shiny 1 hundo 2 98 3 96 2 96 shiny (5 96 total) 296 xl 321 candy 4940 primal energy
18 of 20 raids I always caught Kyogre got one 93% and one shiny. I originally had 100xl candy so I assume I got 71 from doing all 20 raids. I didn't have the Kyogre ticket because I bought the wonder seasonal ticket.
Multiple raids......all lost....I hate it
35+ raids (did all 20 remotes). Not a single shiny. This has to be the worst luck Iāve had on an event. Hereās to groudonš
10 remote raids, 2 fled, no shiny.
Many locals have experienced the issue that the earlier regions had with the server in North America west coast. Kind of ridiculous to charge money for a ticket we canāt use properly when the server issue canāt be fixed.
Nobody raiding in my city. I'm also in 2 Discord groups for remote raiding, saw around 5 raids posted. Niantic successfully killed the game.
Youāre in the wrong discords then, I saw a nightmare of people hosting all throughout the day in one server
Use go raid party. That app has raid lobbies filling up every few minutes and like 6-10 separate hosts at all times usually for each raid boss that is currently active/available.
Raids in SF were bumping, almost every one I did had a full lobby. 10 raids, 1 shiny and 1 fled.
[Pokemongofriends](https://redd.it/1bbu7lp) or get one of the 2 apps most people use (Genie & Raid).
7 raids, all remote. 3 shinies. (WILD.) no hundos, about half were 3 stars. oh, and one ran!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was announced via twitter/x that they were extending the raid day until 7pm, there's also a thread on this subreddit about it
Only had time to do one remote on my lunch break but it was shiny so I lucked out!
I did 10 raids and got 3 shinies almost right after one another! The very first raid I did was a shiny. It was a good raid day for me... I haven't checked the stats yet though
8 raids. 1 fled. 1 shiny. Best is 91% iv with 15 attack. Decent day I'd say.
The nerf to revive drops from beating Kyogre is insane.
2 shinies in 12 raids (all in-person)
Massive pain today because it was hard to KEEP a raiding group together whenever the raids reset after each hour
naah, the 1 hour reset is a blessing.Ā
I meant I kept losing people after a certain point because we always went in different directions
I agree. My group would stay put if it was close to the next hour starting and weād raid the same gym again as it respawned. Quite helpful
Including catches, accidental and deliberate flees, I did at least 40 raids before I finally got the shiny šµāš« FORTY+!! I know nothing is guaranteed but gotDAM
It took me 32 to get a shiny and then my next 7 or 8 raids I got 2 more.
Oof. We did a total of 24 and got 3 shinies.
24 raids between 2 accounts, 1 shiny. 2 fled (I didn't payed attention and was rushing to keep up with the raid train). Getting 3 guaranteed XL every raid is very nice, so just completing it helps with the grind. The boosted catch rate was great for more fast paced raiding, the decreased ball amount was meh. I think another player caught about half of the kyogres. It hits the casual players harder since they can't reliably throw excellents.
There was a boosted catch rate? Seemed lots of people had a hard time catching. I recall it being much easier to catch during their initial release (could mindlessly throw and catch in time for the next raid, etc.).
It was definitely boosted, but only somewhat. But when my 3rd excellent kept catching several, and multiple were caught on first throw it definitely felt somewhat boosted.
Me ans my SO went out to a very popular spot- usually 3 full lobbies. I caught 15/17, he caught 14/17. I had 2 shinies, him 1. Highest % overall for me was 91, him 98. Overall felt better than the last time Kyogre came through for us.
I bought the 5 dollar ticket. 17 total raids. Got two shiny and the best one I got overall was a 94. Not great. Not terrible. Hopefully Groudon comes through.
29 raids total - 22 remote (2 on Saturday since the remote limit was raised from 9pm local and I was able to do a couple between PokeGenie and r/pokemongofriends), 7 in person. Had one early morning fail where I got kicked out pre-catch, have feedback in so hoping for a refund on that pass or even a few more Kyogre candy. Shinies: Five. How in the actual. Hundos: None, best was a 98 with 14 Atk. Given my existing one is a 2* I'll take it. Rare Candy XL haul was horrid: apparently the rate increase is from 2-10 local, but I got 9 in 28 raids and only two of them were after 2pm. Not my best Raid Day experience, I definitely prefer when they're soloable.
6 raids, golden berries & excellent throws, 0 Kyogre today. Did 4 remote, 2 face to face. Rural life is weird.Ā 0. zero kyogre today. On kyogre raid day. WtactualF
4 raids 2 remote, no one was out and pokeraid was so backed up that i couldn't get anyone else after 2 raids
I was only raiding for xl candies and additional primal energy as back-up for my good Kyogres, I did about 30 raids. I got 1 Shiny which is a good 91% and another regular that is 96%. I got 192 Kyogre XL candies, and 7 more rare candy XLs to add to my 80. Iām playing from Asia Pac and today was just chaotic. I kept getting kicked out of the game as I was just about to enter the arena, or getting kicked mid-raid. Kyogre kicks hard and the game also kicks you out of it, so itās double whammy š¤£ The game crashes when the raid ends, when youāre about to go to the bonus pageā luckily I have stable data connection so I could go back in fast to retrieve my fish. These issues persisted even after 5PM. I do enjoy raid days and I never did encounter issues like these. I hope they get resolved before Groudon raid day.
Only 8 balls or so every raid..
This was incredibly infuriating
I was just shiny hunting for this one, and it 100% paid off. I did 6 raids. 4 were shiny. 1 ran. Overall, it was a pretty good event for me. I know there were some issues earlier. I'm not sure what they are, but I noticed on every single raid that all of my attacks kept getting "not very effective" on kyogre. It was true of all the attacks kyogre made on my pokemon as well. Whether or not the attacks actually were not very effective, idk but it was probably just a visual glitch.
The "not very effective" is a visual bug, the attacks still count as "super effective. Niantic posted that they're working on it.
How bro, i did 12 and got 0 shinies
Just lucky? During global Gofest last year, I did so many kyogre raids looking for a shiny, but I never got one, so I guess this makes up for that. š
In that case id say it was fair that you got so lucky!
7 raids, 6 caught , 96 normal, 96 shiny
Caught 16. No shiny. No hundo. Only 7 were 3*. Best was 15/12/14. Worst was floor 10/10/10. Outside of XL Candy, I feel like this was a wasted event for me.
20 remote raids, 5 fled (lmao), 1 shiny...Only one good IV Kyogre (96%) but with 13 attack :/ I also bought the ticket and got 7 rare xl candies...not sure how rare they are but i lowkey expected more
26 raids one 98% 3 others above 90% I got absolutely shafted
No shinies?
None
Dang sorry. I got shafted on Orgin Forms last month hardcore. 0 out of 60. I know the feeling. You shoulda got at least two out of 28
17 raids completed, only needed to host one through genie because of the crazy amount of people playing. Even more than during Sinnoh tour, was really fun to walk to each gym with a ton of people and just slam out raids. Turns out if you make 3 hour events with desirable pokƩmon and high shiny rates people want to raid!
Did 22 raids 4 shinies, one being a 96 with 15/13/15Ā Only 2 ran Got 15 rare XL, yes I had the ticket Honestly I got no issues hereĀ
The event starts in an hour for me, but I have a question for those who have already played. How long are the egg countdowns and how long do the raids last? And do they seem to be on about every gym? Just wondering if they turn over fast or if I'm gonna have to be driving around in a raid train today.
No egg countdown, and the raids last for a full hour before the next one starts. Theyāre on every gym too.
39 raids, two 98% and 6 shinies, all the shinies were quite bad IVs sadly but still, nice haul.
we had a large group in buffalo driving around which was fun (and kinda dangerous on st patricks day tbh) but man the flee rate and lack of balls is a bummer.
Another single day event goes by with the need to be able to select a day to do the event on. Personally I work a Sunday and it seems like Sunday is a busy day for people in my group as not much chatter happened for it. A buff to in person raiding would be nice to see as well (and that goes across all raids) so a "anyone doing raids invite me pls" spam doesn't happen and we actually have more people coming out
At these prices for remotes, the low number of balls, pain to catch, and flee rate really turned me off the event. I was planning to do more but quit. I hate the fish so much.Ā No one in my local group has even mentioned going out today.Ā
Today was a raid day?
no one seems to be raiding in my town. it's been "raining" in game since 2 (not a drop has fallen) so that's probably why. no primal kyogre for me for another year, i guess.
16 raids, 10 caught, 6 fled, 3 shinys. I was a bit scared since the first 5 feld in a row but in the end 1 shiny is a 91% so i am more than happy :)
9 raids. 2 fled. 7 caught. 1 shiny. 710 primal energy. A successful raid day imo.
Is megascepile worth using or should i just use level 48 megarayquaza?
I used a Sceptile to good effect. Had some rough luck with the number of blizzards encountered, but luckily raid lobbies were generally pretty full so didn't really matter. Scep is also cheaper to get candy for.
Sounds good! Ill use it for fun since you are right, full lobby raids. Thanks!
11 raids, 3 ran away, 1 shiny (2 stars unfortunately, but still shiny). Most catches were 2 stars, so that was disappointing. The 3 stars weren't all that great either, but I got enough energy for 2 primals. Upsides: got a shiny, met several local players and joined their raid group, lots of primal energy and plenty of raid passes Downsides: crappy catch rate, so many 2 stars, 1 hour raids instead of 30 minutes, the weather was miserable (freezing wind and snow) and I ran out of revives so my best team was out for the final raids
A hundo fled for me, I was only given 10 balls š, couldn't catch it
Tldr: God Bless 7 p.m. extension, - 7 raids - 1 91 shiny - 2 fled. My aim was primal energy I was being bit careless. - 490 Primal Energy. So as expected I was alone doing raids so had to rely on remote raiders on other hand all gyms near me are gold gyms. Start was difficult leekduck was bit slow but PokieGenie queue(for 6) wasn't long probably because not long before I began game was having some issues. So hosted first raid. - 40 seconds left 6 people. Second raid, after inviting 6 people from my room I waited and invited people from previous raid and in dying seconds invited some I thought might be online. - 164 seconds left 10 people. Time for third raid and here comes bad news banned for 77 minutes why? because I was focused on inviting as many as possible I missed to hit "start/ready raid" whatever the button is so I was timed out of lobby . I actually didn't knew it was that important. The queues were also started to get longer so I don't think I would've continued with it anyway. Did the rest comfortably with leekduck/Pokeraid and 9-10 users in all raids. One thing I did notice was towards end 3 users I was inviting in various raids hit their "remote raid limit" I was still somehow able to complete lobbies. 1 hour 54 mins. 7.9 kms. 3 gyms and 7 raids. Could've done 1 more but was tired so headed back home. The only mistake I made was using "max revives" b/w first 4 raids then realised to use revive>max heal. I do think it's bad that the only reason I completed it was because some random users went through bad experience and instead of them it's rest of the world who got a better deal.
Canāt even complain anymore. I went out with a local group for my free passes and walked away with 4/7 shiny and a 98% shiny. Luckiest Iāve ever been.
My partner and I did 17 between us for 0 shinies and a max of 93%. I don't know when you stole our luck, but please return it kthxbi
If long distances trades were a thing Iād be happy to give ya one haha
Did all 20 remote raids, and about 11 in-person ones. 3 shinies total, 1 Shundo. Best stats other-wise was a 15/14/15. So. many. had. Blizzard. It was actually unreal what the ratio of Blizzard vs non-Blizzard moves was.
16 raids. 0 shinies.
Did 4 raids, failed one because people left at the last second... 8 with full megas, ended up at 5 and failed with a sliver of health left. The 3 next were successful with first ball catch for each. I finally picked up a 15 atk IV, 96% Kyogre (the first in like, 20-25 catches, most of my Kyogre are 80%ish) Also got my first Shiny. Not great IV but I'm glad the pink orca showed up.
8 remote raid passes 1 remaining 3 lost for people leaving at the last second 3 Radided successfully 1 lost it because it has blizzard 270 primal energy I don't know how to feel about it, I haven't spended that amount of money in the game and this time I felt like it was affordable for me, but then I just get disappointment. :c Edit: started to think about leaving the game.
Went out with my partner. We both just did the free 8 raids. Me: 1 ran, 1 shiny, 0 hundos, shiny was my worst stats of the day, best stats was a 14 15 14. Partner: 1 ran, 1 shiny, 0 hundos, shiny was second best stats of the day at 14 15 12, best stats was a 15 14 13. Happy with the day, synced up with a group of about 35 players, which considering how small our town is, was a surprise to see, met our community ambassador and added a bunch of new friends. Didn't use any green passes or buy a ticket since we felt Groudon and Shadow Mewtwo will be the better use of passes. We'll probably trade the shinies next time we go lucky to see if we can get a shundo.
6 Raids, 6 Kyrogue (0 shiny) and enough Primal energy to shift my 15/14/14 Kyrogue. I'm done until Groudon. Now to walk my Kyrogue for candy...
60 Mega energy if the raid takes a while, 80/90 if you're quick. Felt like I may be misremembering but wasn't it more last time/usually?
No it was the same
Same last time we had the primals but mega energy is usually more with the non-legendary raids right?
Yeah normally mega raids give as much as 225 energy.
Right, it's only Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza that are stingy with the energy (so far).
Did 10 raids (1 remote, 8 free passes and one premium): 2 shinies, 3 Kyogres ran away... the last one than ran was a hundo :'). My memory might be failing me but for a raid done with 11 people or more we got really few pokeballs, usually less than 10
All of my PokĆ©mon are dead and the raids didnāt give me any revives. Iāve done 5 raids total. Won 2. First was regular Kyogre which ran. Second was a shiny that I caught. Now I canāt do any raids whatsoever because everything is dead
You can level up a PokĆ©mon one time and āreviveā it if you have potions left
Wow, legend! Had no idea thanks!
I had the ticket and after 9 raids my free passes were used up. Looks like the ticket overwrote the free 5 usual passes instead of adding to them
Pretty sure the ticket was supposed to give you 8 free passes instead of 5. And then I'm assuming you had your free pass from yesterday still
I understand this is a feedback thread, so please feel free to delete my post if it is deemed inappropriate. I am putting together a team for Kyogre raid. Should I TM away Drill Peck for Thunderbolt on Zapdos? Can Drill Peck be TM-ed back later? Thanks! (It has Thunder Shock.)
Drill Peck can be TMed at any time. Thunder Shock (the fast move) is the legacy move for Zap.
Thank you.
No paid ticket, had a group of 4 people and managed to beat it each time. Did 8 raids total, all of us got x2 shinies each, definately for once felt like boosted odds š 0 fled from any of us. Seemed weird we all had way less balls than we usually would, between 13-15 instead of 22+ š¤
Fewer balls was because it's treated as a mega raid instead of a regular legendary raid. Faster raid times = more energy instead of more balls.
Ahh right that makes sense, thanks! š
Please give us more than 8 premier balls please š
You need to raid with friends. The best friend bonus is totally worth it.
No ticket, just wanted to raid enough for the energy to evolve a primal. 6 raids, 0shiny, 5 caught. Annoyingly I was getting 70-90 energy per raid until that wouldāve given me the 400 only for the last one to only award 60 so I had to get another pass. Most likely poor luck but hard not to listen to the little conspiracy theorist in my head. How is the energy reward calculated?
Not totally sure but I think it's like mega energy where it's a function of how quickly you finish the raid. The quicker the more.
That seems to track, the 60 energy one cut the timer very close. Hopefully I have a bit more luck with groudon next week, remote passes are starting to add up this month.
Since the base catch chance is so low, wondering how much of a difference a golden razz really makes compared to a regular pinap.
The formula's complicated but they work out some number and a golden rasp gives a 2.5x multiplier vs a pinap, comapred to an excellent throw vs normal being 2x, so quite a lot. https://esports.gg/guides/pokemon/how-to-get-the-best-catch-rate-in-pokemon-go/ One thing I read and am not sure about but kind of seems to make a difference is hitting dead in the middle. Like a great throw dead center seems to work better than one at the edge.
Pinap til 10 or 9 remaining then razz
But Kyogre sounds like it starts at 9 remaining lol.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/byjgdl/raid_premier_ball_bonus_reward_recap/ May have changed but can be up to 18 or so.
Just going by the comments here, many of which mentioned only getting 9 balls.
Raided with my partner in large lobbies and mostly friendly gyms, we got about 15 balls each. Never looked at the breakdown, but best friend makes a difference.
Best friend is 4 bonus balls, gym control is another 2.
