Legendary Hoarders

I am in a couple facebook groups, and have seen players with 15-20+ more of each legendary. Crazy amount of raiding. I saw someone post a screenshot of 35 Zapdos out of 40 Zapdos raids. I usually stop when I get a good IV one, but that's just me. I don't even think I am going to power up each legendary as I probably won't put them to use. So, for the most part they are Dex entries. Zapdos is the one I probably will power up.

What is your reason for accumulating more than a handful of these current legendary mons? .

Rarity - I am a collector and these legendaries will be gone soon. Candy - I need the candy to power them up and don't get enough rare candy. IV Perfectionist - Still don't have a good IV one. I am going to keep on raiding until I get X%. Moveset - I want one with each of their moveset or multiple of their optimal moveset and don't have TMs Trading - Value for future trades PVP - It will be useful to have multiple when we get PVP Showoff - I want to show off how badass I am in Legendary raids and captures Spoofers - It's what we do! See No. 7 and don't hate!

The options

2 Candy - I need the candy to power them up and don't get enough rare candy.
4 Moveset - I want one with each of their moveset or multiple of their optimal moveset and don't have TMs

are unlikely. Everyone who does many Raids has plenty of each.

3 & I have poor catch rates for some of them:
Lugia: 7 for 12
Articuno: 10 for 30
Moltres: 4 for 17
Zapdos: 3 for 4

I'll add 9. Item opportunity.

Yes, I want ONE high IV of each to level up and a few more for whatever, but once this stretch is done, it's back to soloing level 2 and 3's for a lot of folks. Doing all these level 5 has filled up my rare candy and TM coffers more than all the raids I've done previously. A time of plenty before the next famine...

For me it's number #1, #3, and #9 TM drop rate seems to be much greater for these legendary raids.

  1. I only played 1-2 raids per day. Some days 0 so I would play 2 free passes the following day. I was lucky with articuno and moltres and got one above 90% of each very soon.
    Zapdos is the one I wanted the most and so far no good IV and only could raid one day... we'll see.

Once I get my good IV I only play for the TM and helping people

Also Raiding legendaries is legendarily awesome, and catching them is the most exciting part.

But mostly n. 3
I'm happy with 1 TOP iv + 1 great iv of each.

3 is the biggest one, high IV legendaries are nice trophies! No ones interested in your 80% zapdos (no offense if that's your best one.)

I'm not a hoarder… I only have three of each. I collected more than one for number five – trading value.

I've caught 35 of them. Combined. But I would do more if it was open at a convenient time.

All the extra stuff like the mon itself and the passes are great too. Especially a mountain of rare candy.

  1. legendary raids have awesome drop rate form TM's

but aside from that i've managed to acquire a few solid ones (iv's around 90%) but nothing outstanding (95%+)

am not trashing any of them as if trading comes in i might give some of them to people who were just unlucky.

this is one of the reasons i chose this game i figured it was a low cost way and low physical space avenue for my
addictive traits
obsessive compulsive traits
hoarding impulses

while simultaneously motivating me to exercise my fat arse.

This time of the week I feel like I am helping other players beat the raid boss, especially on this one and Lugia. I'm not in a rock area, lot of average players here barely have 1 Golem and 2 Rhydon (G or R).****Caught 23 total

Because it's a game that people really enjoy? And right now this is the most fun part of the game?

It usually takes catching several Pokemon of one type to pick the best available. So, the more catches, the better selection, I'll have when picking the best handful.

Not listed but XP is another main factor. Easy 10,000 XP or 20,000 with a Lucky Egg.

Need to change up the system for some of us unlucky ones. Not enough trainers for raids where I live and trying to catch a legendary is a joke. Whatever few that do show up to legendary raids don't even want to team up or be social so no matter what we all lose. Not to mention spawn for good pokemon here is horrible also. Sorry pokemon go but me and a few of my friends that spend and play daily may quit soon.

I've transferred every non wonder. It started out I wanted a tough Articuno (as MysticBoss). Then I really wanted TMs and Candy too. I didn't go too hard for Moltres. I'm trying to drop 20 more passes on Zapdos.
