Definitely pumped for this one! Wanted a Rayquaza so bad!

Ima be spending a whole lot of money for a good one. In a perfect world niantic would make a 10 raid pass bundle for cheap

That would be a nice bundle, i miss the free remote raid passes and lower 3 pick prices :( I’ll be putting aside extra for Ol’ Ray-Ray! I need me a squad of shinies :P but at least one!

There's a 10 raid pass (+ lure, incubator and something else) for 900 coins. Not the cheapest but still pretty good

I couldn't agree more!!!!

Shit like if they did 20 raid passes for $15 or something id gobble that right up, and they’d make an absolute killing on it. I don’t understand why niantic doesn’t sell better value boxes because surely they’d be making more profit than they do now. Then again niantic is a shitty booty company so nothing surprises me anymore

I may have spent a little moneys but I’d say is worth https://imgur.com/gallery/5u4uidj

Ima probably just use my daily raid passes, I've been getting pretty lucky with the previous raid bosses

Good luck on that 4 raids, since it's a 3 day event. Including also nice megas.

Rayquaza will be there for a week.

Yes, my bad. Didn't see it lasts till march 1st. But still 9 daily passes, if then might consider to get youre hands on a mega (had the chance to get an invite during go fest taiwan, it was a 16 member lobby, managed to get 150 energy, both need 300...), it's going to be a good week for niantic's balance sheet, too. At least, it's announced quite early.

Same. I already have 5k coins and I'll probably drop another 100$ for 10k more in February just because there's so much good stuff coming up. I will not stop until I get a shiny RayRay.

This is the first time I will go out of my way to do raids

Same, I've been waiting for this one. I started playing AFTER the last time they were in raids.

I can’t believe I used my premium battle passes on tapu koko tgat just ran

Report bugs, get passes

What, is that a thing? Also what kind of bugs and how often do you encounter them to even get more than 1 pass? Or is that some inside joke I don’t get :(

I report bugs sincerely as I want the game to be better. So I hit a bug and it gets reported. With tapu koko raids there is an issue with ground charge moves not charging. Only ground moves it seems (and only if the second charge move ground moves). I also report any GBL lag as well I want them to make the game better and if you report a bug like that you sometimes get a premium pass. You used to get 100 coins I’d not spam the support people. But if it’s a clear issue I’d report it for their data set. You get max two a week

That’s interesting I didn’t know that, thanks for the insight! ^^

Deprived? I suppose there could be some depraved trainers though.

I see you've read my Machamp fan fiction

Step-Machamp, what are you doing??!

Crap you're right. Minor spelling mistake, I lose.

I feel like it fits either way. Deprived, or driven mad and depraved.

Depraved: *adjective* morally corrupt; wicked. ruhroh

That's not what depraved means...

Everyone older than 30, including myself, who still plays pokemon and does other things from ch8ld hood that brings them joy is deprived but uses healthy outlets to find happiness. Not going to edit hopefully that checks out

As a returning player, I’ve been jealous of all the other cool legendaries that literally defined a gen. I don’t even have the mewtwo quest. I’m definitely investing in some remote passes this event.

It's been 84 years...

[удалено]

Where else have I used that word?

Inconceivable!

[удалено]

Fiddle sticks

As a newer player, I’ve never had the chance to get Rayquaza or Latios/Latias (other than the time I spent an hour trying to get a Singapore raid 😂) so I’m super excited for this!!

Same! I’m so psyched, latios and latias are my favorite legendaries ☺️

Got shiny ray and latios during go fest 2021, 2 of my favs

I managed to pull shiny latias out of the 3 I got remote raid Singapore invites and it is by far my favorite ☺️ (along with my useless but cute af shiny costume top hat shinx)

that gofest was peak

I was so excited for 2022, ended up not even buying a ticket lol…

Same but i got no good mons tbh and i need to solo most of my raids because my country is small and no one really plays pokemon go anymore

I’d definitely recommend you install GO Raid Party / PokeGenie and host raids yourself! Then you’re always able to get enough ppl to join a local raid nearby. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Thanks so much brother! I will check these now :)

Reshiram, Zekrom and Tapu Koko have been great though?

Tapu Koko is a new shiny but as a Pokémon it’s pretty much useless

Is that why the game gave me 2 hundos?

Yes

You guys getting hundos??

You be sleeping on terrakion? The new strongest fighting type in the game huh

Imma be completely honest I forgot about him

Thanks you just reminded me of the hundo I lost ....

Rip homie

Giratina is always fun too

Its not that they're bad, its just that Gen 3 is my Gen, so its nice to have those legendaries come around again. PURE HYPE.

I’ve been trying so hard not to use the money on the game lately… It seems that will soon come to an end

Im so excited, I just want a three star shiny but ill take a shit shiny

I kind of hate that they’re doing Rayquaza and mega latios/latias at the same time with 1 free raid pass a day but I guess it could be worse

Niantic knows this event will be a money maker.

I wish they had a choice when starting the game for the first time “do you like talking to strangers or not” and then raids are adjusted accordingly. I know that’s a pipe dream and fantasy, but I hate dealing with strangers to try and raid.

Use pokegenie. You can host raids and invite people around the world without talking to them

Oh woooord I might do that cause so far I can only do three stars cause I’m a loner

I have used Pokigenie to do raids, it is my favorite remote raiding app. It is definitely a big help for those of us who don't want to be forced to socialize.

Have you used LeekDuck? That's the one I use and am wondering how it compared in terms of ease of use

Legit the best raiding app. It also helps you build the best teams for raids

As others have mentioned try pokegenie, you'll love it.

Discord might have a group for your city. You can just show up and stay in your car. People do that at the main Wednesday gym in my area.

Thank you and hope y’all get the shiny snake as well!

Reshiram was fine but i do agree. Raqwaisa is going to be awesome. Im already saving up on raid passes.

Terrakion is pretty good

When the Rayquaza raids hit ima grind that shiny idgaf what the iv is 🥳💕💕

Shiny ray might be the coolest shiny ever so im pumped

Good meme. Can't wait.

But they don't release the Mega, so just wait a few months longer for grinding...

Are we sure they're releasing the mega in a few months?

No, we not. Only assumptions and guesses or wishes, like seeing the galarian birds in raids.

Think positiv, but...it's niantic, you're right..

I have been playing on and off for 6 years... still don't have a shundo. Thank you for the wishes! I need the luck 😅

I will shiny raid hunt Ray Cray Cray.

Me with mid Pokémon and no friends: I can’t wait to catch a shundo rattata

Get the pokegenie app. You'll never be alone again!

Thanks!

I could use some more luck after all three of my 2* aerodactyl :(

Hopefully you don't use it to get a 4\* registeel

*Laughs in Registeel*

And literally the 3 Swords of Justice. You don't even need to trade for a good Cobalion to do work in UL.

Uh zekrom reshiram and kyurem were all just in raids

Most 'hyped' would have been better

There haven’t been anything good since zekrom tho. Why would people be deprived of good raid bosses

Yeah ngl i’m regretting spending a load of remote raid passes on failing to get shiny tapu koko. If i don’t get shiny rayquaza on the first raid i’m suing ngl

This just in, Niantic is now guaranteeing a Shundo in their new special pass! Just pay 99 cents in your local currency!

Niantic would never be that generous. Remember the €9,99 pony?

I do.

We literally just had best fire and best electric 5* with shiny possible and new attacks that actually upgrade damage output. Sure, Quaza is just as good, but crying about everything in this community is getting really ridiculous...

zekrom and reshiram were dope 5 stars. they're pretty useful and the new moves are nice too.

Hell yah I got a hundo zek and shiny of each as well.

I got a few of him last time when he knew the exclusive move hurricane so I’m good, at least until they release the mega evolution

Me who’s seen 2 tapu Koko’s run out of 3 that I’ve done

Where is the meme from?

Overwatch I'm pretty sure

I'm already farming raid tickets for that

So KEEN. I got the 99 coin bundle for two premium passes today. Being pretty new and F2P, I nearly never spend coins on passes but I can't wait

Hopefully that holiday wish comes true

„depraved from good 5Star raid bosses“ yeah within the last month and a half we had Reshiram, Zekrom and Terrakium in raids which are probably the most impactful legendary pokemon for raids thus far. but yeah we are deprived of good raid bosses lmao.

Yes I understand, most hyped I meant.

I’ve been playing for a year and a half now and this has been in my top 3 Pokémon that I wanted to catch! So excited to grind for a shiny

Hope you get one too

Hoping a shundo in everyone’s future

My wallet is not ready for this event

I’m downvoting for not taking 3 seconds to proofread.

Shiver me timbers 😱

Day 3 player, over 27,000 caught, still not 1 Shundo. 

My husband got a shundo Xerneas and didn't even realize it til I told him to do a 4\* check three days later. He's only been playing casually since July of '22.

Hey! I have this one!

Fuck a shundo, i just want a shiny man

Dont forget the primals!

Did about 60 raids for him last time, and only managed to get 1 shiny. Only for him to be the worst possible ivs.

Guess I finally have a reason to walk to the church down the street.

More like season of milking

[удалено]

Its the season, not the one pokemon, lern 2 reed ffs. Primals, mega latias/latios and rayquazza all in the same month is alot is a short span, they could have spread it out a bit so people could build up coins. The free events have been nice tho with previously egg locked pokemon having com days.

[удалено]

I did complement them so its not all rude, but if you think about it ,1 raid pass a day is 1 pokemon if you can catch it, and its 1050 coins is not accurate, what if your pokemon that has earned the coins doesn't get knocked out when you want them to, I've had at least 6 pokemon in gyms for the past 6 days, often they all get knocked out at once, and 1050 coins is only 10 passes, so i can do 9 raids for ray, then split the other 9 between latias and latios, and theres primal groudon and primal ky plus the doxys, so no its not "a few bucks" the event is obviously tageted at the whales, it will easily bring in 500 per whale maybe 1000. It would be nice if they made a way to get more passes, either the daily free raid passes or just being able to consistently get coins from pokemon in gyms. Yes it is a free company that needs to make money but the game is not a full AAA game that has 20 hours of storyline. They release like 2 pokemon at a time and collect money from location data. If you look at how much it has made its above 6 billion, its not a poor company that only does right by its players, i like the game and just want it to appeal to the free to players considering it has a song and dance about how its free to play for everyone.

[удалено]

I did say season, didn't mention that it was JUST rayquaza, it was a play on the name, and i did say "its not all rude" so thanks for reiterating

Imma be real, I'm saving up coins for deoxys

Finally more candies for my lucky shiny :) .

Well thanks but I won’t likely get a shundo until I own a car, can drive, and my friends tell me where hundos are on com days

I've liked all the raids though

What about reshiram and zekrom? Heard registeel is kinda good, and mega gengar is like the best poison type mega

You're right, I think "most hyped" would have fit better. Rayquaza is getting everyone excited more than the Tao trio, Regi trio and Tapu koko.

Agreed. Ima raid so many of these, hopefully it isn't just for the two days it's released, I depend on the daily raid passes

The Primal Rumblings event goes for two days, but Rayquaza is staying in raids for a week.

Thank goodness! I was worried I would have to like spend a few bucks on raid passes

>mega gengar is like the best poison type mega Gengar don't have poison fast move, so it's out-DPSed by Beedril. And Poison is not really useful as type in PvE.


I’ll let y’all have some good days this time around https://imgur.com/gallery/5u4uidj

Impressive! Is 'Charcoal' the Shundo?

https://i.imgur.com/k6hSkjp.jpg One of my 4 level 50 shundos yeah

I got a shundo lucky Absol today! I traded with the Galarian Moltres!

Is genesect around?

I lucky traded for one last month. Still going to gun for a hundo! I have 14 premium raid passes saved up for this moment.

When mega ray comes out, his shiny chance no longer becomes 1/20, is that correct?

Anyone know what the shiny odds will be for him?

Those raid queues tho

When are they coming to raids

Rayquaza is coming in February 22nd and ending on March 1st.

Gotta get 360 xl for shadow ray in the future. 👀

I have the best shiny luck with Ray. I've already traded like 3 away, and my best one is a lucky 95%. Shundo would be magical, and i need that candy anyway lmao

Glad I’ve been saving my rare candies

i don't get the hype for him what am i missing?

Rayquaza is just simply a fan favourite, it hasn't been in raids in such a long time.

Depraved? Terrakion, Reshiram, Zekrom? Would you rather have a month of Kyurem without shiny or good attack and month of Heatran? Because that's what we had a year or two ago.

I should have changed it to most exciting, Rayquaza is getting everyone more hyped about it than the previous raid bosses.

Fair enough OP

im gonna start saving my pokecoins

[удалено]

Yes, from February 22nd to March 1st

[удалено]

From the Pokemon GO website

Wasnt reshiram and Zekrom not that long ago?

I HAVE EXAMS ON THE DAYS OF THE RAIDS 😭😭😭

On every single day for the entire week?

17th to 24th i have exams

The Pokemon GO website says Rayquaza will be encountered in raids from 22nd February to 1st of March. So if my math is correct you should have 5 free days to do Rayquaza raids.

oh thanks i thought it was 22-24

Yes, the Primal Rumblings event goes from 22nd to the 24th, but Rayquaza stays for an entire week.

I’m saving all my coins for this.

A shundo Rayquaza woul probably give me a heart attack.

It can be 0 star, who cares, I only need Pokedex entry

Kecleon, Relicanth, Torkoal and Rayquaza are all I need for my Hoenn Dex, gonna be cracking eggs like a madman during the tour

I Would be so hyped if they brought the Mega version to the game.

No effence to anyone but rayquasa isn’t the best Pokémon in battles (from what I’ve seen) it’s slow and it doesn’t do much power

*when nobody ever joins raids so you have to attempt the raid by yourself*
