This event has sucked for me. I got one shiny Houndour the first day and that was it.

Ran around with a large raid group in Santa Monica today and hit gym after gym . Caught 5 Ho-ohs with one being a 80% Shiny!! Good times. Sooooo many people are playing this again.
I updated Pokémon Go today and the app won't open. It won't load at all and auto closes.
Anyone else dealing with this?

Literally every other person on iOS. Happened to me earlier in the afternoon, and I fixed it by deleting and reinstalling.
It really feels like the Johto Festival was supposed to be an entire month.
Then they delayed Celebi and made the event only last a week.

I didn't think to check out a video of catching Ho-Oh before going out today, and on my first attempt I had 12 balls and only had 2 excellent throws, and of course Ho-Oh was not impressed and fled. In fact I hadn't struggled this much catching a legendary since my first legendary raid (Kyogre) . But I got it down with the remaining 5 attempts and caught 4 weather boosted Ho-Ohs, including one 84IV shiny and a 91IV non-shiny. And I found my first shiny houndour, while my wife found our first shiny snubull. Very good day for us!
I didn't do a Spinda quest because I wasn't in town for 3 weeks. Really hoping I can get one before August ends.
I thought I had read there was only one design around so far, (number 8).
Just in case any of you are in Nashville and don't know, there are Unown spawning the letters NASHVILLE near the convention centre today and the Pokestop for Music City Centre is Catch 10 Pokemon for a Corsola encounter.
Saturday was a bust for me. 4 raids and I couldn't catch Ho Oh. It was fun being out and about and seeing other players though.
That's good as I should be able to get a few raids in tomorrow.
Have you tried the "setting the circle" technique? If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the video here. It all but ensures you get an excellent throw and that the pokemon you are catching doesn't dodge or knock the ball away after you throw.
Thank goodness. I have fucking 300 sunken candies and I stopped catching basically 99% of stuff.
Thanks for the link! I finally caught a Ho Oh earlier today and even helped my mentee catch his. Hoping to improve my catch rate with all this new info.
I'm still trying to get a shiny Pineco. Went from 2500 Natu candies to 300 because of that quest.
Still don't have a shiny Sunkern/Natu/Snubbull either. Wouldn't have minded if this event lasted a month or at least another week.
Yeah, I'm loving the Johto festival for the Porygon, Seadra, and Poliwhirl (and I'd love it for Scyther, except I never seem to get those as prizes), but I could do with less Sunkern and less "catch three sunkern" quests everywhere. There's only so many Upgrades and Dragon Scales a person needs...
Also I'd like more time for Ho-Oh. I don't think anybody's burning to get back to Regirock.

Added some folks from the spreadsheet and just added mine to the list. Feel free to add me if you want some Canadian eggs =)
Stuck on part 5 of the Mew research. Are there any good tips of how to find a Ditto?
The best advice I've heard so far has been these two tidbits:
1) Just keep catching Ditto candidates. With the Johto event going on, look for Yanma, Hoothoot, and Sentret.
2) If those Ditto candidates are usually common in a particular area, and one of them pops to the top of the "nearby pokemon" list, it could be a Ditto, as the tracker promotes rare and uncaught pokemon to the top.
Any other good tips?

Only the uncaught portion of the tracker is true. I have no idea if this is actually the case at all for Ditto, having caught one before the tracker behavior was changed.
went out w/ my girlfriend yesterday and ended up w/ a group driving around the KC suburbs doing the ho-oh raids. no shinies for either of us, but I still ended up with 9 ho-oh =).6 of which are weather boosted!
also got the aloan raichu and marowak!
pretty successful day tbh. when does the johto stuff end? I'm on the 6/8 on celebii day and I still need to spin pokestops for another 6 days or so... I know the next one is to catch 40 grass/psy pokemon and that seems like it'll be a bit of a pain w/o natus everywhere.

My friend in Scotland just started back up, and could use some friends. Good opportunity for long distance eggs: 7413 3859 0325
My girlfriend (we live in Central FL) could also use some more friends: 3870 7836 7605
My roommate could also use more friends: 8564 8406 3267
And, last and least, I'm always welcoming new friends: 6834 8359 5714
Thanks so much, everyone!

yup this is what I was going to see, if you see a Gen 1 ditto candidate during Johto, catch it!
yeah. you need to go to the southern tip of Sicily to get into its range, Naples won't cut it
So many people at these Ho-Oh raids. If Niantic wanted to please the player base (and make more money!) they could announce that Ho-Oh is staying for another week or two.
Darn, I don't think that's going to work out. Guess I'll have to settle for Mr. Mime and Volbeat.
I wonder what the event will be next month. With Entei being the research quest reward maybe there will be a fire theme.
Everyone would flip out if they released shiny Vulpix too.

Hi everyone! Recently returned to Go! after a 18+ absence. Loving the changes so far and I've noticed that a lot of people in my social circles are playing again.
I am going to be traveling to Hong Kong in near future (from U.S.) and I've read there are continent specific Pokemon. Anything special I should do to catch something I can only get over there? Or do I just go about regular gameplay and hope for the best?

So I got a shiny eevee that I already walked 3km a while ago but changed it and now put it in again. Do I have to walk the complete 10km now again or is it enough to walk 7 now until I got the total 10km in order to get umbreon?
What I heard is you have to get 2 candy, so since you didn't get a candy yet, you would have to walk the full 10 again.
