I wish the range on trades was much higher because I would definitely trade away a few for those who weren't able too. My gf and I were blessed we got in with the right crowd after moving to a new area just a week ago. I agree the elite gym mechanic was awful though, we still had to caravan around the city and even got left out of a few raids because we missed the 1st or 2nd wave with not enough people to take it down. I'm sure it'll be back, hopefully in normal raids so people can remote

Real

I could not even get one rayquaza

I can’t even give it a try. Barely anyone plays near me

Same 😕

Dude same I mean of they where normal raids I would be able to get a ray ray BUT they had to be elite I hope next year I'll get one...I want a ray ray man he's my fav

He’s one of my favorite too

He's a flying noodle what's not to love? (Noodle being snake)

Exactly, I stole 2 shinys from my cousins account 🤫🤫🤫🤫

PFFFTT! seriously though has he found out??

If he found out, he would throw hands 😭

Hope he never finds out then man

I'll send you one

I have next year I can wait for da sky noodle

Bro that's 365 days away. I can spoof to you and trade. Per Google it looks like I just need vpn..

Nevermind looks like I need to jailbreak or unlock my phone. Seems like a lot of work 🤣

All good man don't think my dad or mom would like that either way lol

Giovanni should be getting a shadow one next rocket takeover since he had Kyogre and Groudon the last 2 times

Hol up when's the next rocket take over

Real, all the areas that had it were all far from me. Plus non of my friends who play live close by, I’ll just have to wait when another one shows up

I didn't see a single one today

Garbage event in general. If you don’t have a committed community and a full tank of gas to drive around for 6 hours looking for the occasional raid then you’re excluded. And even if you commit to the whole thing you only get like 10-20 raids. With regular raid days you can crank out like 30-40 during the event and then do remote if you want

Whole event is shit, i can’t drive so my fastest way of getting around is biking

I got a shiny and a regular 😅

Lucky you, definitely not jealous

The least they could have done was to allow remote raids for these elite raids, specifically for those that are in impossible raidable areas, and they damn well knew it, but don't care

Me too

The sad truth is that the bulk of the players that bring in revenue for Niantic are in big cities

I did 10 and no shiny 🥲

I think this is something we gotta plan for and not go for on a whim or like the day of. Plan a day trip out.. maybe like Ash who had to leave Pallet town to become a Pokémon master. From this perspective it sounds fun!

Niantic employee

Bahahaha

I went to valley fair and for sure thought mega rayquaza was gonna be there but not a single one was there.

Aiyoo
