    I don't think buddy stuff is part of the bonuses? At least if this is correct:

    Generally here, you either get a group arranged ahead of time, or are ready to go right at hatch. Otherwise, you're not going to get a group

    I hit the cap on opening gifts today.
    I'm not sure why Niantic wants me to use less currency on backpack slots :(

  • XaquinXaquin Right behind you!Registered User regular
    you can only open so many gifts?!

  • GrobianGrobian What's on sale? Pliers!Registered User regular
    20 Gifts a day.

  • Warlock82Warlock82 Never pet a burning dog Registered User regular
    Yeah I hit that yesterday too. Absolutely stupid. In other words, Niantic design in a nutshell :P

    It's a way to limit xp gain. The first friendship level still gives 1k so you'd get essentially unlimited xp without doing anything if you could just chain friend codes.

    So limit to a certain amount of XP gained per day or something, or even remove the gain for the first level of it (which is 100% free). It takes a bazillion presents to level the damn friend thing anyways. I have presents sitting in my box because I can't open them, which means I can't gain friendship with that person (the ultra balls and pineapps would also be nice). Also can't send new presents to people who have not opened the last one yet. Meanwhile there's also no way to sort all this either so even sending presents out is a process of clicking through every person on my list, waiting a few seconds to see if the present icon lights up (because it's not lit up right away usually), then move on, hope I don't lose my place because it only loads like 5 friends at a time or something dumb. Then repeat several times a day for the people who open theirs later on, or you know, because I can only do a max of 10 at a time because THAT is limited too. It's completely dumb.

    I'll also add that alolan eggs are trash tier now that I have the four damn pokemon they bothered to put in them, on top of also adding ratattas, so I have to be careful about not opening presents when I have free egg slots -_-

    I still don't have a vulpix, so smashing through the Alolan eggs still. Did the geodude and digglet get added to the eggs after the weekend too?

    Apparently they didn't.

  • KafkaAUKafkaAU Western AustraliaRegistered User regular
    Oh well. Hit my first vulpix over lunch, so will keep poping them for a second to evolve to ninetales and then I'll give em a break until they add those 2.

    Does it feel like they've lowered the rate gifts drop from stops/gyms to anyone else?

    Kind of yeah. Even sitting on top of three pokestops it seems to take awhile now to max out at 10 gifts.

    Finally got Mew

    would have been done weeks ago if not for bugged raids / lack of raids

    Just poking my head in here to say that there's another game out there that uses your geo-location similar to Pokemon Go. It's called Walking Dead Our World and so far it's pretty fun. Lots of stuff around, you can play while driving, build your own outposts, and there's chat functionality. If you're looking for something to play while a stop is gray I'd suggest giving it a shot.

  • Warlock82Warlock82 Never pet a burning dog Registered User regular
    So apparently I need to look for more magikarp raids. Catch bonus + pinapp = 16 candies per catch. Alternatively I could just try to find Magikarps but bleh :P

    Whelp had an ex raid invite for today. We had a big group show up, which was great. But it booted me out both times. Let me sit in the lobby, then when the time came to actually fight, I got booted out of the gym. Everyone very awesomely backed out and I rebooted the device, but when it happened a second time I figure it must be something wrong with the pass. Anyone experience that before?

    Today I met with my sister and traded off all the alolan mon I got from the nice people in this thread. That gave me 340k on the distance badge.

    Now I just hope they add diglet and geodude to the eggs, because I surely won't generate new ones until they do.

    Ugh. Tossed all eight of my balls at a Scyther I was really excited to get and all of them plunked too short because despite taking up 80% of my screen it was apparently standing thirty feet away. I really dislike that mechanic of making them harder to catch.

    Seems Alolan Raichu is live in 3* raids.

    Also Alolan Marowak as tier 4.

    Tier 2 is super good, also: Alolan Exeggutor, for if you get a "Catch a Dragon" quest and Kirlia is a lot of relevant candy.

    i just now, in the year of our lord two thousand and eighteen, started playing this.
    i'm not sure what possessed me. it's habit-forming and makes me go outside on breaks, like smoking.

    it's fun though! it's quite fun.

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Clearly you must
    Choose Team Red

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    But seriously your choices at level 5 are having:
    The best Pokemon
    The Best Pokemon

    or
    The best Pokemon!

    So, I don't think that's really a choice at all

  • GrobianGrobian What's on sale? Pliers!Registered User regular
    I'm back from catching my third Mewtu. Still kinda weak IVs, so I'm validated in just powering up the first I got.

    Also got a Registeel earlier today, so I'm done with that for this month. Now I can go for those Alolan raids.

    Raichu and Marowak as t3 and t4 is problematic

    For t5 raids you can just show up at hatch and there will often be a group, and t1 and t2 you can solo, but to do t3 and t4 you need to like talk to people

    Kirlia as a t2 is great though

    oh cool, maybe I can finally get a porygon

    Do you have reasonably powerful Machamps or Hariyamas? (Say, to the point they need 5000 stardust to power up.) If so, you can beat the raid by yourself.

    Why the crap did I ever make my original name "cloudeagle?"

    I have a machamp that needs 8,000 and a machamp that needs 4,500 as well as a hariyama that needs 6,000

    all are above 2200cp

    They also need to have double fighting moves (counter/dynamic punch is best).

    In case you're wondering how many raids an extremely determined group of 14 people can do in three hours if they meticulously plan the map in advance and leave each gym the moment each raid starts with the expectation that most of us will huck balls wildly at all but the best Zapdos on the short drive to the next gym, the answer is 44.

    (Dear god I'm so tired)
