Haha, he looks as if he's covered in floor tiles. The only Rhydon I've got just was always central to when I was battling gyms though, and I didn't want to evolve that one so I really need to find another Rhyhorn but they're not so common. Then again, I'm days away from lvl 40 so will probably stop battling unless the spoofers keep up.
I was wondering, if the legendary's cp/iv is lower, is he then easier to catch or is there no difference? I caught a Kyogre tonight on my second ball but once again with low IV (76). All the ones I've been able to catch have had weaker IV's, all the +90 ones ran away. I thought the catch rate is identical no matter what, but I'd like to be sure.
I think the level matters, boosted raid bosses are slightly harder to catch.

Level matters (boosted vs non-boosted) I think. But Iv's don't at all.
You need to remember that Legendaries have VERY low catch rates to begin with. Raiding with common people with their friendships boosted will help a lot. Esp Best Friend with +4.

When is the repop? I live in the Austin area which is explosively growing so there's bound to be more stops. My ideal spot is a block in the domain that takes precisely 5 minutes to walk around and has 10 or so stops and a gym. But sometimes I work from home in suburbia, downtown round rock is my local spot but it is not as good as the domain.
I got soooooo lucky. After sapping half my golden razzes to get groudon the very first kyogre was a shiny.
17 encounters, no shiny yet. I think this weekend I'll have the opportunity to do some weatherboosted raids since it's gonna rain, but after that I may have to slow down because my premium passes are draining fast :p Since it's such a challenge to catch him I keep looking for more it seems.
That's gutsy, getting rid of all your stones right before a community day with an evolution that requires stones
There's also 3 weeks between then and now. Battling 4 times every day, we should be receiving 11 additional Sinoh Stones without even including community day.
What? I don't follow. But I'm highly interested in finding out how to obtain these elusive things.
You have a 1 in 8 shot four times a day at getting a sinnoh stone, by doing three PVP battles and one battle against a team leader.
The other poster was making it sound like we had 11 guaranteed stones inbound.
I've gotten around 30 so far, you should average out to one every other day.
That's incredible luck on your part. The odds are not that favorable to me or anyone else I've seen.
I made a second account to battle and it has 26 stones. I can't be that lucky(I definitely don't have the shiny luck), It should work out to one every other day.
I've gotten about 20 so far, battling every other day usually. I've gotten every evolution besides Rhyperior and Porygon-Z (and no way in hell I'm evolving those until there's a shiny form available - betting on community days for them), and still have about 7 or 8 left. I'll try to increase that before Swinub day.
Finally at a place where I've evolved all the Sinnoh stone candidates thus far. Stones were hard to come by at first but evened our even while I've been super lazy about battling, mainly due to the battling system being a process of sheer boredom.
That said, I have at least 4 piloswine to evolve on CD. I have a shitload of candy stockpiles for that.

With a 1/8 chance, if you are consistently doing your four reward battles every day, and you haven't received more than a few stones, you are incredibly unlucky. I got 2 from battles today alone, which is about a one in four chance of happening. My wife gets them as frequently as I do - we will get 2 in a single day atleast once aweek. It just passed midnight and we battled and both got 2 rare candies which is another item that is 1/8, and one I care more about at this point than the stones.
Have you tried just putting up your 3 lowest CP pokemon? They get one hit killed, literally taking 30 seconds from initiating a match to clicking "rematch." My wife wants the league exclusive clothes too, so if your girlfriend has any interest, that can be her incentive to play and get easy wins to unlock some new outfits. Sometimes I'll offer to play for her too, since again, it only takes 2 minutes, and my guys don't need to attack.

Lol no. I battle everyday for 5 weeks straight and got 3 stones so far.
Wow. Assuming you mean 4 battles a day and not just the coach battle, that's 140 battles.. Your odds are approaching 1/50. If you're just doing the coach battles then that's rounding up to 1 in 12 which is unlucky but not extraordinary.
Lol, yeah. Niantic going to Niantic. They should give another infinite incubator.
EDIT: Also, if the trainer "kwma" is here, we're about to hit best friends level. You're not on the spreadsheet, so PM me so we can coordinate.
I find for most stuff these guys (reddit names in the top left corner) are pretty accurate with the difficulty marks on raids ) - you can see Claydol is the hardest current T3
If i check my team then a high level Kyogre or a few high level Gyrados with waterfall / hydro pump should do it
I've been in Tokyo all week and have walked 52km since Monday morning.
It's only Friday night here.

Most diehard Go players have multiple times the exp needed to reach level 40. If Niantic raises the cap to 45 those players will reach it immediately.
Raising the gap will only create a bigger gap between people who play occasionally and people who are die hard players.
Personally I hope they don't raise the level cap

Like I said it doesn't matter unless you're playing Master League. Gyms are already piss easy to take down and raising the level cap will actually help people complete raids since the higher level players will have a better TDO.
But what does it change? The grind from 39 to 40 is already extremely long for people that don't play intensively.
People have more reason to play and spend money? You don't have to play hours each day to reach 20 million xp anymore. And from 39 to 40 doesn't actually raise your Pokemon level cap so it's only cosmetic. I know dozens of people who play casually who have reached 40 at this point. This isn't some impossible to reach milestone anymore. And for the hardcore it'll make them care more about multiplicative xp events instead of stardust and only stardust. They just need to make levels exponential like reaching lvl. 45 requires 200 million xp or something ridiculous.
I disagree raising the cap will make people play more. Most level 40 players in my neighborhood are playing pokemon go the most. Especially if there are interesting raid bosses like there are now. New shiny Pokémon are also a great way of keeping people interested.
Raising the cap to let's say 45 will be really intimidating if the grind is to long. I know people who play Go pretty regularly since the start and are still level 36.
Personally I started in June and reached 40 early December but not everyone has the same amount of time to play as I do.
Catched my third shiny zigzagoon today, only shiny from the Hoenn event I need now is Kyogre
I updated mine this morning but I've been doing it about once every few weeks to keep track of how things change.
Thanks for the reminder, just updated mine. It's interesting to see how much progress I've made in some aspects and how little I've focused on others.
I've had a friend submit portals all over my neighborhood and only one of them got accepted. Seems whoever does the approvals over here approves nothing unless it literally has a sign with its name engraved in stone.
Do you still have to suggest stuff through Ingress or are they expanding their level 40 beta thing?
OP
OP
Ingress for me. America will now doubt see the PoGo submissions last I bet.
