What about the new system of mega evolutions?
I’ve done the investigation, have a mega Blastoise, and caught two Kangaskhan with 140 mega-energy.
Seems the new way of mega-evolve at least is more friendly… not shure if you need the first time the 200 and later 0 or minimum, or if you can start from the beginning without mega-energy.
One other friendly feature: If I forgot to mega evolve a member of my raid team, it used to require leaving the lobby, finding that mon in my storage, and mega evolving it before re-entering the lobby. Now the game points out to me that mega-evolves are available and offers a button for me to do that evolve while still in the lobby.
Nice new feature.
Still not there, but a good sign it’s in the dex
Looking forward for the dusk lycanroc. Looks the coolest in my opinion
How much longer will we have to wait before Black Kyurem? Is it being delayed until the return of EX raids or something?
Something happens with PokeRaid. Today I was trying to get raid for Latios and Latias, and four times without receiving invitations. And another where we had to leave the raid, because only three players where invited. And against Latios with his 84000 or you need much more players or hardcore-friends who know which fighters they have to send.
I’ve joined raids on the Mega Latios / Latias that fell short with 6 trainers. It’s quite different from the string of wusses we’ve had for bosses lately, many of which we could handle easily with 2 level 40 trainers. Something is needed to permit more than 5 invitations, and to allow more than 10 remote in a given lobby.
Uff, 6 and short… so I was wrong with my comment about the hardcorers.
I’ve made another four raids, but with 9, 11, and 17 players, and yes, there we had no problems. Now I have for both the necesary mega-energy, so no more raids needed.
Did several raids today. 20 people, and it still took 1/4th of the available time. Agreed, @NotanotherKangaskhan . People shouldn’t underestimate these raids
6 Trainers and fell short 
What the hell are people using?
Just for comparison. I did 5 weather booted last night in Raid hour, 4x Latios and 1x Latias with 6 Trainers and smashed all very easily with most having 80sec remaining on the count down.
Admittedly 5 Mega Gengar were used with all being Great Friends for the boost.
3 Teams had Megar Gengar as lead while others used Giratina in the lead spot
2 Teams had Mega Gengar in second spot while the other 4 had Giratina in that position.
All positions after that were a mix of Zekrom, Salamance, Dragonite, Palkia or Dialga.
Only 1 team had any L50 Pokémon. The others were L40.
These are easily done if a bit of effort and thought is made building suitable teams. For too long some players have gotten by while others do all the work and heavy lifting.
I feel sorry for those that have suitable teams being affected by those that just can’t be bothered.
For those that get invites from me. You can be safe knowing you will get it done as my KungFu is 
That’s got to be a rhetorical question, since we can’t know the levels or moves of their teams, even if we can know player level from the lobby and infer from the battle screen some of the mons they use. The full-team losers I’ve been a part of had at least a couple of trainers under level 40, occasionally even some under level 30.
The hardest to predict and control is those full teams that suddenly become partial, whether by hasty bailouts before battle, or by some of them having network glitches or game crashes.
Either way, I’m pretty much done raiding Mega Latios / Latias. I may not raid more Mega Legendaries without knowing the other players (and knowing we won’t have half of them bail out at the last second of the countdown).
We can use this topic to organize mega raids in advance and to discuss our teams and movesets
I had an idea for a third part of my fanfic but I had already decided to stop writing in this series. Does anyone want to try continuing the story?Just pm me to reply.
My wife has made a test this morning and is positive in COVID… so there will be one week at home.
‘sigh’ I’ve gone and done it again. This time I’m waiting for feedback before I write anymore just to see if it’s worth continuing the story.
May your wife recover quickly and you escape transmission.
Hope she gets well soon.
