Checkout facebook to see if there is any raiding parties nearby?

Since finding and joining my local (20 minute drive away, damn living in the sticks) chat, I was able to hit up a ton of raids and had a great time.

Found the Adelaide raid group on facebook, scrolled through everything from this week and there wasn't anything happening nearby that I missed.

 

[Quivorir]

Finally got an Articuno. On a critical capture too. Too bad its shit.

 

[dales.girl38]

Never ended up making it to a raid for Articuno, I think 6 months ago I would have been all over it but they just left it too long to add this new element to the game.

 

[Forward Press]

Rumours going around you will need 12 or so for Moltres. Higher CP than Arty, higher attack too, although mitigated a little by numerous weaknesses.

 

[Forward Press]

Some in Perth chats are saying it is do-able with 6 high level players. Hmm, conflicting info.

 

[Quivorir]

Have done 3 raids with Moltress now, all with 20 players and its down within the first 30 seconds. The ****ing campaigner doesn't stop moving. At least 15 balls and I reckon I have only had 3 hit.

 

[Quivorir]

And just done a 4th raid, got 6 balls. 2 hit. Never had so many issues hitting a pokemon before

Yeah, 7 is the number I've seen in my raid chat. Haven't been able to get out of work to join them yet though.

 

[Quivorir]

Another Moltress down and lot of balls missed Struggling big time to hit this mother ****er for some reason and now I am all out of raid passes.

 

[Shermy]

Managed to critically catch a Moltres today.

Now i wait until Zapdos is out next week.

 

[Forward Press]

From my experience so far 6 high level players can do it, apparently 5 is quite possible, ideal size of 7-8. A group of 9 relatively decent level players I hit three raids with today took it down with 200 seconds to spare.

Good to see it's not as much of a pain in the arse as Lugia (and probably Ho-oh too).

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Ho-Oh has the same double weaknesses as Moltres, so shouldn't be too bad. Might hit slightly harder.

Still need a Lugia. Seems that they are around but just less frequent now

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah still have not got a Lugia either. Have they announced when that is leaving?

 

[Walesy]

Definitely seems to be less Lugias around. I don't think they've announced any dates on him yet though.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I ended up with 4 Articunos from 12 raids.

I was 0/9 on Lugias before finally catching one on my 10th raid. Still only have the one.

Much more luck with Moltres. 4 of them from 6 raids. Moltres raids are by far the easiest as he's weak against rock and water so Tyranitar and Gyarados last longer and do more damage. I've done a Moltres raid with 7 and I've heard high level people say they've done it with 5.

Articuno minimum was 9 or so, Lugia probably 11.

Loving these legendary raids, they've really revitalised the game for me

 

[El_Scorcho]

Although on the flip side, meeting all these people doing legendary raids made me aware of IV checking apps. On advice I downloaded IV Go, used it for a few days and now I'm in the middle of a shadow ban, where only common pokemon appear for me. I've uninstalled IV Go and according to the internet I'll likely be under the shadow ban restriction for another week or so, but no idea.

I can fortunately still catch magikarp, which is great because I have a high IV shiny magikarp which is only 10cp, so I need all the candy I can get.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Still haven't caught a Lugia yet

 

[kangle4]

I've never gone to a raid since they started, just can't be bothered with them.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I've never gone to a raid since they started, just can't be bothered with them.

Usually I wouldn't, but "gotta catch em all".

 

[NTRabbit]

I've soloed a 4k cp raid, it was a Bayleef. Tried a 16k cp Exeggutor solo, knocked ll my pokemon out, and tried to solo a 14k cp Weezing and ran out of time with 2.5 pokemon still standing.

The Weezing one was annoying, because it appeared on the oval gym just as I was crossing the fence line, I was about to take the gym from some nearly expired yellows, and with it up I couldn't conquer the gym.

I wish gyms still showed the eggs hatching to indicate a raid is coming, the raids just appear from the aether now.

 

[El_Scorcho]

You can generally solo 2 star raids if you're level 30+ or so, but weezing is definitely the hardest.

 

[NTRabbit]

I'm only level 27. I had Weezing down to almost nothing, I think my problem was opening with Golem, who just wasn't laying down any damage

 

[Walesy]

You can generally solo 2 star raids if you're level 30+ or so, but weezing is definitely the hardest.

You can also solo some of the 3* raids also.

I'm currently gearing up a squad for Machamp, just need a decent Lugia to power up as the #6 and we should be golden (And maybe a better phone that lets me dodge better )

 

[boncer34]

What's dodging

 

[Quivorir]

Woo. Got a Zapdos in my first raid. Zapdos raids are out BTW.
