I'm very salty today, did 5 Giratina raids, three fled on me, no shinies, and the two I caught were shìte!!
I did get one shiny yanma at the weekend though:)

Sorry to piss in your cornflakes but yesterday I got a double shiny (two accounts played, both accounts got shinies at the same raid) and in 10 raids total I've picked up 4 shiny Giratinas. To bad it's not of much use raiding however

The good thing about shiny altered Giras is that you can pinap them and get double candies which you can then use on the Origines.

Really don’t want to go back to spinning stops for eggs to get Mime Jr (been hatching pretty much nothing but 7km eggs for months) and good luck getting the shiny (remember how rare 5km shiny Magby & Wynaut were?). Don’t understand why they couldn’t put it in 7km eggs and turn off the ability to evolve

Spawns at my house have gone from 1 per hour to 5 or 6 at once, which is a nice change.

Got a shiny shelder on my way home today and also hatched a litwick and golett so a bit better. 3 Giratina caught now and they have been rubbish, 2 star.
I hadn't got an origin one so good for the dex entry anyway

Mine is a complete reversal to that

I know I'm late to this but I've just discovered that traded Pokemon don't keep their IVs which is pretty scabby. Is there a legit reason for this that I'm missing?

RobbingBandit

Part of trading you can up the ivs as well as lower them take a chance

rustledjimmies

I think IVs are level based. They stay the same if you're trading with a trainer the same level as you. Randomised (or maybe there's a some consistent formula) if different levels.

EDIT: Oops, apparently they always change. My mistake.

IVs change upon trading. Regardless of level. Otherwise ppl would be able to sell hundo’s. CP does change greatly if level difference between trainers is big enough.

As it is there are enough ppl selling 3000CP mons on eBay

RobbingBandit

New stardust event and new team rocket leaders I'm guessing heaps of dust will be needed to purify new shadow pokemon soon.

Angron

Had a good day, got 5 shiny Oddish, a 96% Drilbur from one lucky trade, and a 100% Lick Gengar from another.

How can they sell them if the person who buys them isn't close enough to do the trade with the seller?

I would imagine that those selling mons on ebay are able to apparate to a location of your choice for the trade.

Thanks was trying to find nests for the 5th gen pokemons to gather candies

Mewtwo raid hour this evening, be nice to get a shiny or two.

Angron

Worked out quite well, got one 100%, and one shiny, both weather boosted.

One in our raid group got a 100% shiny; it's 1:218 for 100% and then 1/20 on shiny so yea, lucky bastard.

Angron

Dang, that's a hell of a result.

Wing126

Got a shiny in my first raid yesterday evening. Was delighted!

DirtyBollox

And here's me who just got a MewTwo from an exraid at the weekend and i'm just happy to get it..

phog

I got a 100% and a shiny the week Mewtwo was around, did about 13 raids last night, one failed to give me the chance to catch, I got 2 shinies and a load of crap Mewtwos, that candy was handy to power up my 100%

Angron

My catch rate last night was super high, I don't think I missed one, and most were in the first 3 throws. Had me wondering was the catch rate set to the EX raid level, or was I just unusually lucky with them.

It was set to EX raid level at 6% vs. normal raid rate of 2%.

Angron

Ah, I was thinking that had to be the case. Nice of them to leave it at that rate so.

Hoping the next raids after Giratina-A will be Giratina-O or Darkrai as it will be around Halloween :pac:
