If anyone is unsure, you can confirm this without actually going through with the evolution. Renaming them changes the evolution button from a question mark to the silhouette of Leafeon or Glaceon.

Do you still have to evolve them at the special lures?

I just evolved a Leafeon and Glacion, with no special lures nearby (or anything, since almost nothing spawns at my house...).

As soon as you save the name change, the Evolve button changes.

Just evolved two Probopasses thanks to someone using a magnetic lure on the pokestation near my apartment. Thanks, random guy. Also caught a Beldum there, but sadly no Magnemites showed up. I still need to find a good one to evolve for the... Mew quest? Or the Meltan one.

I'm very stupid.
Someone put the ice lure on my house stop and the two other types on two stops nearby, and this isn't even a place where people usually play - I think I've only ever seen a lure here that wasn't by me one other time. It probably won't be hard to find the lures up somewhere these days.

If you evolve an eevee at the lured stop is it guaranteed to be the lure evolution or is it still a toss up?

Guaranteed, as long as you see it change to show the icon of the lure, and the silhouette of Leaf/Glac. If it's still showing the question mark, it's still the gen 1 toss up.

Training a dude at work, and I already doubt he is staying because he thinks the work is beneath him. So we were at a mall today doing deliveries, I saw the new Mon and said hey, let's lunch here.

He refused because he didn't want people he knew seeing him in uniform. So we skipped lunch. This already made me mad because I was trying to be nice, he didn't say that part till after we left.

Dude is lucky his training will me is over.
Should've let him sulk in a secluded corner while you got lunch.

I am rather pissed at him (I don't think he's going to last long here and he wasted a week training with me) and myself for not being more assertive and saying no, rear end in a top hat, I need a break!

So if any goon has a spare blue shellos and a way to get it to me in AZ, I will....I don't know, spit in the dude's eye when I see him next?

Also hatched a shiny Togepi and caught a random shiny Meditite.

ime it's not "close enough to spin", it's "you have to be nearly on top of the drat thing, standing in the lure confetti"

We have a local quad-stop so named because you can spin all 4 from one location, it's been fairly consistently triple-lured and you def. have to get closer to a given stop to trigger the option to evolve.

having to be so close might be _because_ those stops are so near each other

I had the same experience yesterday. I could spin the lured stop just fine, but had to get much closer to see the evolution options.

Had a weird community day. I couldn't play properly until 5pm cos of work, but I was in the city so in the hour I caught a poo poo load of Torchic. Not one shiny. I normally get a few shinies while catching a similar amount on past community days.

Yet I caught a shiny Snubbull AND a shiny Mankey. Wtf

yeah I have a stop that I can spin from my house, but I cannot evolve with it from my house, I have to go outside and right on top of it.

I need about three fitty


Community day was pretty random again. Wofe an I both caught 1 shiny in an hour while our son caught 4. Next hour we all got 2 more and then in the last 10-15 mins when we were going home we caught another 3 each.

How good is the special move, worth it or not at all?

It's just a smidge better than Blaze Kick, which they also added to Blaziken's move pool permanently.

It's nothing worth getting too twisted about. Either move with Fire Spin makes Blaziken the top fire attacker in the game by a pretty large margin.

Caught four shiny torchics, but they are all awful stats-wise. Highest IVs I got in general was in the 95%. Oh well. Still, evolved a bunch of Blazikens that should come in handy at some point.

Admiral Joeslop posted:

I've never done a raid, do I have to significantly contribute to earn anything? My best Pokemon are garbage.



Just try to get into as many of those as you can with people. Don't feel bad that your best ones aren't up to snuff yet; any contribution to raid helps. If people are skeptical about if you guys have enough to take down the raid boss, you can be like "Hey, my teams aren't very good yet, just saying" just in case your group is cutting it close. I don't think anyone would ever exclude you just because you don't have good enough stuff, they'll just maybe want to wait for more help to arrive. I think most people would be excited for you getting legendaries for the first time and building you into a stronger raid contributor.

Getting more legendaries helps fight legendaries so get into as many as you can. Azelf, the one out right now, isn't that helpful but at least it'll have decent CP and have resistance to its own type when you fight more Azelf. More strong legendaries will come back in the future for sure.

e: If you were wondering what else you could hunt for besides legendaries, I would recommend trying to get Pokemon with good dark or dragon type attacks to help with raids. Tyranitar is often a level 4 raid boss (not right now though) and I guess you just missed Bagon day last month for free Salamence. Otherwise just keep playing and some good stuff pops up in the wilds sometimes with crazy high level. Depending on if there's events going on, but when Alolan Exeggutors are around, I always find them to already have 2000+ cp when catching them (and they have dragon type moves!).

I only went out for about an hour today I caught two shiny, and I'm happy with that. I wouldn't mind a third one for all three stages but I'm happy to just have a shiny Disco chicken for now.

I got four shiny chickens. They all suck. Doesn't bother me as much because I already had a lucky Combusken that I was saving to evolve on community day, and I have another lucky Blaziken that I can TM Blaze Kick onto and it'll be almost as good as Blast Burn.

A good day for chickens, all in all.
