I don’t get these funky EX raid days and times. I really haven’t been raiding in known EX raid spots cuz I’ll cry not being able to do it. Seriously I’m seeing them on Monday middle of the morning. Seems like they rotate through the week. 

Latios I was 25 seen 9 caught. 

Latias 91% 1:1 

shiny Meditite is a min 89% IV. I’m not interested in raising it further to narrow it down until I get lucky and snag another 😬😆

Lugia is back lol

 

moar chances to not get shiny

 

He apparently might've been an accident 

It was definitely an accident so if no one caught a shiny Lugia yesterday I don’t think you’ll be able to by afternoon today. Unless they leave it. All the lvl 5 eggs that spawned after 4 were all Lugia out here.

Smack Down fast move, making Ttar best rock type til maybe Rhyperior

 

Sigh, just like Char day gotta have ppl play for me (Sats no good), still managed some good stuff, one bad IV decent level shiny but a couple nice regular Charizards, high lvl 91, baby 98

Need more balls/storage for Lar day, have a good 93 from excellent throw quest that could evolve I suppose

 

Also doubt I'll score a shiny Ho-Oh, picked up a regular boosted 93 like my last Latias

I'm probably the last person to start playing Pokemon GO.  I bought my first smart phone earlier this month and installed Pokemon GO

on it right away.  I'm almost to level 18 and just found out about the buddy system yesterday.  Currently in Team Mystic.

I probably won't be ready to catch legendaries until next year.  Maybe even later than that.

better late than never!

out of curiosity, as a new player, do you have the field research and special field research available? the special field research is kind of like a pseudo-tutorial for things like the buddy system. i started playing like day 1, but it wasn't until the special field research that i figured out how nice/great/excellent throws work.

I have the Field Research but I haven't seen special field research.  The Field Research is fun but I'm currently stuck since I don't

know how to throw curve balls.  I've gotten a Plusle, Minun, and a Pikachu so far by doing field research.

I have no idea where dittos are but I might have a better chance at finding one than throwing three or five curve balls in a row.

 

I have no idea how nice/great/excellent throws work.  I'm just having fun catching new pokemon and working on my pokedex.

I caught so many Arons, Geodudes, and Lileeps today.  These events that have been happening a lot lately are fun.  I'm late to the buddy system.

I didn't find out about it until this week.  The appraise system is very useful.  I've been using it a lot this week.

You can get them through field research and at level 18 you can raid legendary Pokémon with a group of 7. 

Team Mystic for life!

Ditto can be disguised as pidgey, zubat, yanma, gulpin, whismur and sentret, rattata too. There are others but I forget

That's good to know but I don't think I'll ever participate in a raid battle.  I probably will never find seven other people playing.

Edit:  Yeah Team Mystic is great.  It's a good team.

You live in a very rural area with few players?

I live in a suburb near Milwaukee, WI with few players.  There are two gyms near me but I never see anyone else playing.

I travel around a little for my job but I never see other players in Oconomowoc either and there's at least one or two gyms there.

I have a different schedule from the rest of the Pokemon GO players apparently since I haven't run into anyone yet.

You should see if there's a discord for your area.  In any case you can still do the smaller raids alone until you get either a group together or join an existing one

That's good to know thanks.  I still think I'll find a ditto long before I'm able to throw three curve balls in a row.

I'm really bad at catching pokemon.

I've heard a lot of people talk about discord but I don't know what that is.

I'm still new to smart phones.  The one I'm using now is my first one and I've been mostly using it to play Pokemon GO since May 9th.

discord is an app you can download, the part I'm not sure of is if you need someone to give you a link to a local Pogo server, or if you can search for one. Each group on discord is a 'server' you can join and chat in for coordination. You might also see if there are any Facebook Pogo groups in your area.

As for curveballs, find whatever way feels comfortable, some ppl spin in one direction or another. Personally, I rotate the ball with my right index finger or thumb counter-clockwise, and usually let go when it's sort of in the mid-right part of the screen. Different Pokemon can require you to throw in slightly different ways depending on size, position and distance.

 

Ditto can also be Gastly

Discord is kind of like a glorified chatroom program. UEMB has one that rogue and sandstone run (I forget which folder the thread for it is floated in).

But people use it to organize local pokemon go communities. People also use Facebook for that too. Depends on your interest in social interaction for pokemon I suppose.

Thanks for the info.  I think I'll stick to playing by myself.  I don't want to download something huge and run out of GB.

I only have 7 on my phone and I want to just use it for Pokemon GO.  If the others are out playing in the morning, it wouldn't work out for me anyway.

I don't know how to spin the ball at all.  I've pretty much given up on curve balls.  I'm much more likely to run into a ditto at some point.

 

I'm still having fun filling out the Pokedex.  Tonight I leveled up to 19.  I caught a Clefairy and Dunsparce for the first time.

Edit:  Just realized I read it wrong.  I have 111/300 Pokemon in my Pokedex.  Was just going through it and I had some duplicates.
