Haven't come online for a while.  Nice to see so many still playing.  

 

@Coolbriz you are so lucky!  Other than a pair of mareeps and a single bulbasaur, I've not found ANY other shiny mons.  

 

@Cube3 Chinatown? Woah.  Used to be a blue zone :(   I guess some of the pests from my side may have migrated over...  Form a group to take them down?

 

I roam Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru, SGH, Bt Merah and the Vivo areas (mainly for the 3 EX gyms).  So if anyone is keen to join me on weekdays to raid or fight gyms, I'd be happy to have you.  Am Mystic (Blue).  For Comm Day, my bf and sometimes a couple of other trainers will join me to hunt mons.

 

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to Larvitar in June.  :D

 

Long time no “hear”!  Ya I’m looking forward to shiny larvitar next month as well as aloha variants!

Be cool, like a breeze...

Was away for the last couple of weeks.  Gym and solo raids across Europe then.  Gyms there are so easy and tame - just 2-3 mons to take down.

Eh got them a year ago.  This time coincided with fighting mons and the Eon duo switch, which was sad for me.  Tier5 raids had nobody in the small towns, so had to stick to solo raids all the while.  Its a different thing taking gyms over there.  I meet other trainers on my early morning walkabouts, but everyone is so nice about it.  They see you take down a gym and will kindly leave you to occupy it for a few hours.  Mind you, these people are of the same age as the uncles and aunties back home in Sg, just minus the threats and police reports and anger.

 

It was only my 2 nights in London that I got my first Latios.  Ironically, it also gave me an EX pass..... in London, for the 29th, next week. :wacko:

I need larvitar for June, but cannot throw excellent throws...let alone consecutive ones :( Helpppp!

Ahhh... the dreaded Excellent Throw!  

 

I realise that I can get that more frequently with legendaries and Wailmers/Slowbros, basically those mons with largest target circle.  So whenever I pick up such quests, I just keep till I get to the riverside where I have good chance of encountering such mons.  The larger circle means its easier to time the throw nicely for Excellent.  For consecutive, I just find a spot with 4-5 of such mons, (Wailmer, Slowbro, Psyduck) and whack and pray......

Just practice and pray.  I do that.  I only managed 3 a in row once, all with big blue fishballs, and darn stressful!

All the best!

There's such a research task??
How did you get it?

 

Search the Sg Pogo FB group every morning.  Some kind soul will announce the pokestop with the quest nowadays.  Otherwise its all luck of the draw.

I picked up a 3-rare-candy quest (catch dragon type) yesterday by luck too.  Heard there was a hatch-5-egg Chansey quest from Chinatown then too.  There are also quests that give Charged TM or a single rare candy or a Max Revive.  I'll guess that these are probably the more sought-after ones, aside for the chansey.

Ya recently there were 2 pokestops in Bedok with chansey quests so I spun them but I stacked them and didn’t catch them. Will stack till the Max haha. 3 consecutive Excellent throws are tough! So got to practise hard.. everyone gambate!

Yes.  Today, there is a larvitar quest at NUH, a pokestop just off Medical Drive.  

3 Excellent Throws In A Row.  All the best!

Sadly, no.  I was somewhere overhead Armenia or Kazakhstan during those hours.  I also missed Pikachu's.

Only played Mareep, Dratini and Bulbasaur.  Shall be around for Larvitar though.  :D

Usually head to Vivo to catch.  Its easy to walk, has abundant reloading stops, and ample lunch choices.

 

That said, I think the pogo gods hate me.  I can catch 15 legendaries and 14 of them will be sub-80% and shiny avoid me like the plague.  My BF has caught shiny mons at every CommDay and I can only watch in silent envy.   In fact, all my pogo-playing friends have caught more shiny mons.   :(

Don't fret.  Its a 0.2% chance anyway. ;)

 

Ya my Friend caught 1000 meditite & makuhita each and got 0 shiny. There’s some stats saying if you have seen that many Pokémon, you have 95% chance of encountering a shiny. My Friend belongs to the 5%.. :frustrated:

I'm also in that tiny %.  But not worries, since I go for good combat power and not looks, so shiny does not matter.

What matters is whether I get another EX pass for this week's lottery.

I want a pair of PesA ones to round off both my gym-fighting teams.  So far my luck has only given me  a single 91% Mewtwo and the rest 68-77% ones.  Its frustrating to see all the others in the raid group get "wonders" when mine is only "caught attention".

Don't worry, I caught 6893 magikarp before getting my only shiny karp.  17CP and 33%IV some more!  

Out of total 72,985 mons caught.  Only 1 shiny karp, 1 shiny aron, 1 shiny mareep.  The kind of odds.... :wacko:

No shiny meditite, poochy, dratini, pikachu, bulba, magmar, omany, kabuto, aerodactyl, togepi, wobuffet, lugia, ho-oh, mawile, purple fishball, swablu, absol, snorunt, luvdisc, duskull, shuppet or sableye either.   Yes, that is how UN-Shiny I get.  Hahaha.

I got a few 90+%, but attack only 12, no incentive to power up.

hey guys!

 

how do you decide which monsters to keep and which to be candy-dized?

I mean, for sure the 100iv and shinies are a MUST keep, same goes to legendary monsters.

But for the regular spawns, do you keep them based on their IV ?

Eg: only keep those with 80%iv and above and anything below is turned to candy?

 

I didn't purchase the extra storage, and rarely park my monsters in gym for the coins too :(

You choose a playing style and build from there.  

I only keep those with IV above 90%, and then only if they are viable fighters (since I battle gyms and raids), or if they are starters.  I did not buy space, so for the legendaries, I actually dump those that are low-IV.  Even then, I keep a cap on the number I retain.  The mons I keep several of are Machamps for taking down gyms, Dragonites for all-purpose fighting, and Tyranitars.  Useless things like luvdisc, pidgeots, crobats, and the like I dump.  And my storage is currently just 225/300 filled.

 

 

EX Raids

For those wanting to get a chance for an EX Raid pass, you need to do a couple of things :-

1.  Locate the EX qualifying gyms nearest or most convenient to you (there are plenty everywhere, esp in park/garden/open spaces)

2.  Check the qualifying periods (eg: Vivocity's Orange and Blue Bubbleman will open for new round of raids this Wed till Sun).  

3.  Use your raid passes on the target gym throughout the qualifying period (you may need to buy a couple of extra passes!).

4.  Pray hard that you get it.

You can increase your chances by fighting and occupying the gym a week or two beforehand, but it is not entirely necessary now.

For those who need to get excellent throws for your quest, I think the alohan exegutor is pretty easier as compared to others, though you got to get used to its headless appearance and distracting third head that looks like our third leg..

Be cool, like a breeze...

Yes, with its large target circle.  Already claimed a larvitar with 3 excellent throws this morn.

 

For those who want the Evolve Omanyte/Kabuto quest and the Larvitar quest :-

 - one of the pokestops in front of Regency Suites along Kim Tian Road (get larvitar)

 - both pokestops near the Hotel81 in Tiong Bahru, opposite Foodie Marketplace (get aerodactyl)

 - pokestop opposite Flock Cafe in Tiong Bahru (get aerodactyl)

For today (1st Jun) only.  All the best!

How many of you just click on the Pokémon and exit if the shiny animation does not show? 

 

Apparently it was reported a few days ago a shiny glitch may occur where it only registers as a shiny after you catch the mon into your pokedex. So if you click and exit, you may have actually missed a shiny.

No idea.  But I do not face the problem.  I have however, FINALLY, gotten a shiny Ho-Oh, from raiding one of my regular EX gyms.  :D

Still no other shiny, though BF has gotten 2 red Absols, 3 purple Aerodactyls and a green Kabuto.  And a sore-eyed Aron.... :(
