New Raiding

This weekend I went on a Raid meet-up in Liverpool city centre to try and nab myself a Shadow Raikou or two. The meet-up is arranged by the ‘local ambassador’ and is usually in or around St John's Garden behind St George's Hall. There's almost as many Saints as there are Pokemon.

I’ve never been to a Raid Day really, and certainly not an arranged meet-up. And whilst I did ‘join’ the meet-up I didn’t actually go and meet anyone. Most of the Pokestops and Gyms in the area designated as the ambassador area were visitable whilst sat with a pint in Dr Duncans. Very handy for me indeed.

I took part in multiple raids and caught most of those I won battles in. I ended up with eight Shadow Raikous. One was a 3* and one was a 2* Shiny. Whilst I was made up to get a couple of decent Pokémon, I was mostly pleased by the vast amount of XP points I won and even more happy with the copious numbers of Rare Candies I received. I was to invest the candies on my rather decent Meltan (still miles of having the number for evolving it, but at least I’m closer now) and also my Larvesta. I’m not far now of being able to evolve that one (11 candies short of the 100).

Cor!!

I’ll defo geg in on the meet-ups again. The benefits are really rather good. And even better with a beer in hand too!
