Looking at what’s happened on PokeGenie Raids over a few days is interesting.
First couple of days 2-300 people in the ques now today there’s 1-200 open lobbies looking for Trainers to join.
Makes you think players have gotten gun shy with bad lobbies that didn’t win or they got there Mega Evolutions and are 1 and done. Let’s face they are not enjoyable to throw balls at. Only Kyogre annoys me more.

Latios and Latias were never fun to throw balls at, especially during Raid Hours when you’re trying to catch a Pokemon while the troupe is moving onto the next raid. Honestly, I started collecting as many as I could for Lucky Trades.

A question, when you trade a Pokémon which has been Mega, does he need in the new account the starter mega energy, or is he marked as Mega Pokémon and evolves cheaper?
My guess is any ex Mega Pokémon is only a Pokémon in its non Mega when being traded. If it was an ex Mega evolved one I guess all progress is lost and it’s just it’s normal self.

for me, it was relatively easy to do the raids. Catching Latios was a bit harder than expected, since the first one I caught with three balls left. Now, it’s level 31. I still don’t know why there wasn’t an opportunity to have separate raid hours for the mega lati’s

Already have a 98% Shiny as my Water attacker. Added this brute as a Dark option to rotate Megas through Mewtwo Raids.
I know I can TM the moves but I’d rather have designated move type Megas.

I really hope we don’t have to wait so long for another Mega Evolution. It’s been, what, two years since Mega Evolutions were added and we’re not even halfway through them?

Yeah, there were so many missed opportunities for new Megas to be added.
I was hoping Scyther would be plentiful during a bug event to get the XL’s.
Going to take a long time to Max my Scizor as I’m seeing none .
Not sure where it sits for game changing relevance?
It’s SLIGHTLY weaker than Genesect with similar movesets, so I suppose if you don’t have a Genesect with preferable stats, it can act as a stand in, or a reinforcement for a Genesect.
Maybe something interesting…
Today I found that you can change various times the Pokemon megaevolved in the same minutes, and the last one will be the mega active, but all others will augment their counters of have been evolved, and need their days before you can evolve them again.
But this way you can evolve them all in one day and their counters before evolving again run all in parallel.
That’s what I’ve been doing, and all of my megas are at high level

It feels good to Mega Evolve something new again, and this season, it looks like we will have two more to come! (You can find blank spots in the Mega Pokedex, which appear to be for Mega Aggron and Mega Banette).

I haven’t seen a Mega Wizard/Egg yet.
All I keep seeing is Depoxy.
I’m not actively search for them either I must add.
I suspect Mega Wizard is only a Dex filler because if it’s glassy like the Wizard it’s hardly of any use fainting out of the battles after a couple of hits.
But rhe design is very nice
It’s one of the strongest Psychic-type Megas if you don’t have access to Mega Latios/Latias. It does gain some Defense as it Mega Evolves, so it’s much better than its normal form.
EDIT: Scratch that. It’s second only to Shadow Mewtwo and Mega Mewtwo X/Y in overall DPS. TDO isn’t too bad either at near 600 before fainting.
Two down, one to go! This also got me the Silver Medal for unique Mega Evolutions.

I’ve be very slack with my Megas. I’ve tended to wait to I have a 100% IV and massive bank of Candy (XL and normal) to take them to L50.
Think I need to rethink my strategy and not worry about the Power up part as much and just do the evolution as I have the 100% IV for most of them.
The 2x Lati are annoying the crap out of me as I don’t have a 100% of either despite trading every day from the family accts. I’ve still yet to get a single 100% Legendary from Trading which is just straight out making my blood boil more and more.
