Good, I was already kind of tuning out PoGo, the mega evolution implementation was about to be the last straw to quitting for me. Edit: nvm just read the changes, its a giant piece of nothing burger in terms of actual meaningful changes.
the energy increase is pretty legit, baseline is now 50 energy and max is 90 so combined with the other stuff you really only may need 2 good raids to get enough energy for that initial evolve. they're going to leak these "fixes" out anyway, I suspect half of them were always planned because they knew Megas were going to go over like a lead balloon. I'll just continue using my free pass whenever I'm bored and I'll hang onto the energy for when they make it worthwhile to evolve. I will say the bonus candy stuff is pretty interesting to me for stuff like CDs and special events. Litwick CD or something and you can Mega a Charizard beforehand and then nab bonus Litwick candy seems like a good thing.
At the end of the day, the way Niantic implemented megas is still a shit system, all that update did is make a shit system slightly less shit, but you're essentially still "renting" megas from Niantic, with no option to own it. Want to keep using your shundo Mega Charizard? Well you gotta pay that Niantic coin rent to raid, you don't have anything permanent.
Good. I feel if you do 30+% of the damage done in a 5 star raid you should be guaranteed 3 rare candy at a minimum too
Anyone up for some Saturday morning mega raids, I’ve got like 4 around me right now 34 SP1 Sir Phobos AggieVillain Karl Hungus NYGator audrew
WhiskeyDelta sorry I’ve missed your invites. I’ve been out doing yard work the past couple mornings and keep forgetting to bring my phone out with me
when do raid bosses change again? i thought heatran was over last month and we had cycles of celestia articuno etc.
My shiny luck is coming back. After a combined 2 for 102 on Deoxys/Genesect, got 3 Shiny Heatran (plus that hundo) and got 3 shiny Cressalia in 8 raids today including this bad boy
i feel like i miss out on raids and such because i have no way of getting notified by either this site or my phone without keeping the app always up and looking at the nearby box to turn orange, or refreshing this page over and over. i'd like to start a discord channel, that way any post about a raid would send me a phone notification and i could see if i can do it or not in the moment. would you all be into that? i've never created one before but i'm sure it's wouldn't be complicated.
hi i’ve picked this game back up for the first time this past week in a loooong time anyway, if anybody wants to add me my trainer code is 5013 6596 4550 got a mega charizard x that’s available near me for the next half hour i’m currently level 34 with some 3k mons
