Board 8 > The "the Pokemon Go topic purged" purged.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That's good, Jon! I have 80 unique shinies and just got my best one (12 15 14 Absol)

Was talking to a coworker about Pokemon Go today and she mentioned she needed two more Johto Pokemon, one of which is Smeargle. Didn't know you had to take pictures to get it. She said she's been trying for months with no luck. Took a picture and got it first try.

Nothing makes my day more than breaking someone's spirit.
---

Also got a perfect IV Aerodactyl.
---

Wow I'm still getting garbage, screw you guys and your good luck :P

I also feel like I've shiny checked like a thousand Pokemon some I've last encountered a wild shiny. I'm due, dang it!
---

I've beaten the game. No reason to keep playing
---

my best shiny is a 14/15/15 Mareep (or 15/15/12 Moltres if prioritizing attack)
---

oh I see I got upstaged by NFUN and his mad luck
---

My best shiny is an Aerodactyl I hatched. It's either 15/14/15, or 15/15/14, I can't remember.
---

Haven't played today, but hatched another egg thanks to adventure sync. It was an Igglybuff.
---

I have three 98 shiny

Moltres and Entei with 14 defense
Scyther with 14 attack

Saves on incubators at least?

Also @JackMan, we are going to hit Best Friends when I open the gift from you. Did you want to coordinate a lucky egg for the bonus 100k XP?

Nah, just pop it when you want, I dont care about the XP really.

Well that's good to hear because I fucked up earlier and opened it when I was refilling eggs. So neither of us got bonus xp lol

Spoilers for tonight's update: FD checks a new shiny off his list!

But will it be a regional?

Find out all this, and more! . Only on the Board 8 Pokemon network!

my predix is that you got a shiny Rattata too

congrats

Regional Shiny Data FYI:

https://thesilphroad.com/science/quick-discovery/kanto-regional-shiny-rates/

At this stage, and considering our past experience, we can state that both encountering methods share the same rate. Aggregating data across all methods and species (including data where the method of encounter was undefined), we have amassed 3,227 encounters and 84 shinies, leading to a 99% confidence interval for the shiny rate of of 1 in 30 52. This confidence interval will continue to narrow over the coming days as more data is accumulated.

So 1 in 40~ that a regional will be shiny, and around a 40% chance the egg will have a regional. (Though only a 30% it will be for a region besides your own)

Tough odds. If it's 1::40 you would need to hatch 100 7k eggs on average to hatch 40 regionals to have 1 shiny regional.

How much longer until "The 'The 'The 'The 'the Pokemon Go topic purged' purged' purged' purged' purged"


---

We're still a few iterations away. But we're are currently experiencing a Pokemon Go Renaissance with good events and gen 5 dropping soon. I think we're safe.
---

I also have a new shiny for my evening update! STAY TUNED, Y'ALL

I need 4 more gifts to cap out today, pls help

Done! And now I need one more gift to cap out
---

I sent one just a couple minutes ago, was that one of the ones you already got?
---

Yeah, and we hit our 50k milestone from it, oops
This event has ruined my ability to benefit from lucky eggs.
---

Attention swirl and poka! Send me gifts please! You two play a lot but never hook me up!!

37. Farfetch'd
38. Azurill
39. Mr. Mime
40. SHINY Togepi

46. Happiny
47. Smoochum

Not a great day for regionals, but I got a shiny Togepi, so that's good! Glad Alolans have been dodging me!

Friday:
17 Egg / 20 Gift

49) Munchlax
50) Elekid
51) Happiny
52) Farfetch'd (82%)
53) Bonsly (SHINY!) (89%)
54) Wynaut
55) Magby
56) Magby
57) Mantyke
58) Pichu
59) Happiny
60) Tyrogue
61) Azurill
62) Happiny
63) Kangaskhan (87%)
64) Happiny

Gifts given: 23.

So I'm at over half odds now without a shiny regional but I'm hopeful I'll land one this weekend. And my boy Bonsly is pretty legit! He's in the 1-2% hatch range right now so that part feels good.

5 Tauros (7.81%)
5 Farfetch'd (7.81%)
2 Kangaskhan (3.13%)
3 Mr. Mime (4.69%)

Totaling 23.44% regionals. Keep in mind that they should all be around 9-10% right now so that's disappointing to see. Oh and one more stat:

14 Happiny (21.88%).
Fourteen. This chick is supposed to be 8.5% and I'm pulling triple odds on one of the few 7k Pokemon that doesn't even have a chance to roll shiny. None of them have even been good. They only bright side is I have infinite candy to take my perfect Blissey to level 40 now I guess, but still way more than I need.

But here's my boy!

My trainer code: 4827 6386 1595

Also have some thins for trade like Mr. Mime, Tauros, Farfetch'd, Smeargal. Didn't read the whole thread but I saw some of them mentioned. Obv gotta build friendship levels for trade.
---

Congrats on the Bonsly, FD! Not quite as surprising as my Absol, but it will do :D

Duo'd a Deoxys-Attack with my girlfriend last night. Her first Deoxys, too.

At least she got that 'dex entry out of the way.
---

I GOT TAUROS

Thank you to whoever sent me a gift from Fresno, California!

---

I now only need Farfetch'd. Can I only get that if somebody sends me a Japanese egg?

No they can come from any 7k.

And you're welcome!

That was either myself or my wife.

Sweet

thanks man

---

At approximately 10% odds for each regional you should have one of each within 10ish eggs, though realistically within 20. Shiny is another matter, but at least you can complete the dex entries
---

Oof, it was 100 degrees today so I'm out walking now that it's cool. I still need 6 gifts to cap today, please help if you can and haven't gifted me yet today.

@Drakeryn
@master_moltar
@StifledSilence
@Mac_Arrowny
Pls. It's going to be my only day this week without hitting gift cap

Edit ty drak. Now I just need 2 more!
---

here you go

I soloed a Deoxys-Attack yesterday. It was on a whim and I didn't know if I'd be able to manage (I don't quite have an optimal team), but I managed with 29 seconds left. Makes me wish I'd done more raids last week.
---

Also @Cody11533 and @ScareChan could save my day

Very nice! I managed a solo too but it was a near thing. Most of my tyranitars have Smack Down because I don't want to switch it to bite and not be able to switch back (limited available moves are ass). It was electric typed too which didn't help.

My wife and I went around during everything except the Defense forme.

The new 100% is nice. It makes 100% IV Pokemon #27 for me, though a few of those are duplicates.

I'm beginning to prepare myself for the idea that I'm going to shut out from this event despite my efforts to cap out my eggs every day.
---

@fortybelowsummer my community day is a little less than 2 hours from now. We will hit best friends, would you like to use lucky eggs
---

And we hit Best Friends tomorrow, Spike
---

562 star dust per weather boosted Pokemon with a Star Piece active.

This community day is awesome.
---

12/15 eggs, it's been a worse than average egg day so far. But I do need 5 more gifts to cap today pls

Yeah, my Deoxys was electric too. I did it with 3 Giratinas, 2 Tyranitars, and a Gengar. (two of the Giratinas were just as caught, not powered up. weather-boosted though) I keep planning to get more dark spec Tyranitars but I haven't gotten around to it.

@SpikeDragon sorry I didn't reply, didnt see until now. I didn't even get a chance to do community day today :/
