Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

Apparently, over 6 MILLION Shiny Wo-Chien were defeated in the Raid event. So now, Shiny Wo-Chien is available via Mystery Gift over the Internet. No code, just use the "Internet" option to download the shiny snail and a bunch more Tera Shards. It lasts until September 30, but get it now before you forget!

And, don't forget, there's a Chien-Pao Raid going on right now, too. If you had something that worked agaisnt Wo-Chien, chances are it'll also be pretty effective against Chien-Pao. Grass and Ice have a lot of the same weaknesses. These Raids are actually a pretty decent way to grind some Herba Mystica for shiny hunting, if you care about that.

People keep saying that.. but I'm lucky to get 2 Herba per like, 10 raids.

 

[ZakuConvoy]

Yeah, it's still far from a "common" drop. But, this is still the boosted rate. It's easier to get in these raids than in "normal" raids. At least, from what I've seen playing online.

Hey hey! I got the shiny Wo-Chein even though I didn't participate in the raids. Which...you know...yay for me. But if I were one of the ones who busted my ass in those raids and then someone like me who hasn't even touched the game in forever just came along and snatched my prize...I might be pissed.

 

[Tm_Silverclaw]

Ehh.. Most people wern't "Busting their ass" they got a few good builds, then farmed Herba Mystica. ;D

 

[Caldwin]

Yeah, I'm kinda getting that feeling with Chein Pao. I'm going in with a lvl. 100 Urshifu with no real prep behind it. 2 raids so far and I haven't died...knock on wood.

Yeah, the 5 Star Raids really aren't that bad. They're doable with a playthrough team, really.

And one of the only reasons I'm encouraging people to actually play through the raids is to make sure we all earn the Shinies. Because, I'm not sure if Gamefreak would be strict enough to not release one of them, if people stopped playing. I'm a little worried about Ting-Lu, since that's probably the least popular one. We probably don't have to worry about that, but still. They could be faking these numbers, and we'd never know. It's in their best interest to make it seem like everyone's still playing these games, just for free marketing.

But, if you just don't have the time or interest to do these, I can't blame you. I'm not sure if I'd call these actually "fun". I'm just doing a few each time, because why not? I'm shiny hunting some of the outbreak spawns anyway, so I just do a few Raids while I got the game open and move on.
