From the app store notes, seems to be the ability to add berries from a distance to a Pokemon in a gym.

And various bug fixes (about time).

I'm still smarting from a wild Lapras at London Bridge running away from me this morning. frown I could really do with some Lapras candy to power it up a bit more.

That's not working at all for me.

I had a Lapras an egg this morning. Highest IVs of any I've had yet.

I've been reading this forum with interest. I have to say I have really fallen out with the game recently where I barely open it now. The dramatic update with raids etc didn't enhance the game in my opinion.

I have collected all the UK Pokemon but for the last 4 I couldn't get I did use a walking mod so I could hatch eggs without doing anything.

Hopefully they will release the legendary Pokemon to create a bit more excitement!

So you mean you cheated? rolleyes

Raids have hugely enhanced the social aspect of the game, well here in central London anyway. I've often seen 20-30 people at Tyranitar raids. Although I can imagine if you're in a more rural area it might be a case of waiting an hour to see if anyone else turns up...

Rumours are that legendaries might be released this weekend as part of the Chicago and worldwide events so keep your eyes peeled!

I mean you could say I used my initiative but yes I cheated in the end. The only feature I use is auto walk..... no excuse really when I work in central london and their is a gym or Pokestop every 10 metres.

Fingers crossed they release the legendary ones this weekend then, based on the update and the data mine their is code which has been included.

Well so far I've turned up to 2 Articuno raids. On my own for the first one, 1 other person for the second. Looks like no legendaries for me.

I've successfully completed 2 legendary raids, we had groups of 15+ for both. It was buggy as hell and I really struggled to get into the first one, kept crashing and returning me to fight on my own rather than the group of 15, they lost the first time then won the second time they tried, noone of the 15 managed to catch the legendary!

Another bunch of 8 turned up and I managed to get in, then 4 of us successfully caught it.

Five of us were no match for an Articuno raid at the weekend. We only managed to do 50% damage in that time, so I'd imagine we would need a minimum of ten players to take it down.

My son persuaded me to try an Articuno raid - just the two of us. That was a waste of a raid pass!

I think you need about 10 decent level players to have a chance. I've also heard that the chance of catching after defeat is also only about 10% - so likely disappointment even then.

Luckily, I've got in with a bunch of hardcore Pokeheads (just made up the term smile ) near one of the offices I work in so will be out this lunchtime in a group of about 10 looking for a legendary or two.

When does the current event end?

(Sorry, I know it's probably out there, but I can't see much other than Pistonheads behind our work firewall.)

Ends tomorrow, I think.

If anyone is in the City this lunchtime, I am on a mission to get a legendary but am struggling to get a big enough team to make it feasible. I'm near Liverpool Street station.

My eggs seem to be hatching a third faster than normal too.
Incubator actually displays as 0.33x for some reason.
