End of a great Event

I'm going to miss Larvitar event part two-I mean the Johto festival. There were so many larvitar, it might has well been that (went from 70 candy to 186, and about a third weren't pinab'd, didnt get any from stops or gifts) how well did you guys make out with larvitar (and the assorted potentially relevant gen IV pre-evolutions from johto)

Caught some Larvitars, not a great deal, but that's a substantial increase from the nearly none that I usually catch. The extra candy has been nice, but I only caught two that were useful. One has top shelf IVs, but not elite, the other is a level 35 Pupitar with bad IVs that will be a nice trading chip.

Yeah, even a few extra would make a huge difference. I didnt get any good IV ones, but the candy was really more important. This really makes me excited for when they do a Hoenn event

Caught a few, all designated as trade fodder. On the other hand, got 3 shinies. Snubull, sunkern and murkrow. Still hoping for that golden pineco though.

Just caught a 100iv today!

I don't need Larvitar candy so didn't really keep track of them or hunt actively for them. I pinapped any that I saw out of habit and because it's fun to have excess of such a valuable resource.
Didn't go in hoping for shinies but ended up getting Pineco and Sunkern so pretty good there. 40-50 Pineco quests completed but the shiny was among the first 20.
Did a lot of trading with event mons which helped greatly with my lucky dex progress, including a lucky 91iv Larvitar. Which probably doesn't get powered up if SD Tyra doesn't become available again. There were a bunch of good evolvables but nothing that could top the perfect Murkrow and Piloswine I already had.

What about that larvitar for bite/crunch tyranitar?

I'm in the fortunate situation that I have too many good ones for that already.

I went from 145 candy to 257 during the week. Caught 2 Pupitar in that amount. Got a 92 IV lvl 35 larvitar that when I evolved got B/C so I was ecstatic for that.

"how well did you guys *make out* with larvitar"

That's what she said.

I managed to find a Tyranitar raid in partly cloudy weather and earned a 15/13/15 one!

Not a huge fan of Gen 2 but I do like and use Houndoom and Granbull so it was nice to see them all over the map. My shiny count for the event is 0 including Ho-Oh attempts

Same here, I never see wild houndour or snubble, and was glad they were everywhere (caught about 200 each (massive pokestop density where I live), no shinies of anything either) but did get a max attack houndour for my mewtwo team as a filler till I get more B/C tyranitar.

I'm also happy with the Larvitar harvest. Here in Bangkok I had seen maybe 3 wild spawn Ltars since Gen 2 launched (excluding events) and now we get that many or more each day, even with casual play. I have traded (with my son) most of the ones I caught which is a great thing for the extra candy and as one (level 20) became 100% and Lucky and 2 others became 91%. Unfortunately no weather boost as every day is either cloudy or rainy now.

I didn't get out nearly as much as I wish I had (I cannot stand crazy humidity...) but it's been great overall. Semi-reliable Larvitar spawns are always welcome, boatloads of Houndour and Snubbull candy was great. Not nearly as many Sunkern as expected given how seemingly 2/3 of the research tasks involved catching 3 of them. Ho-Oh R3 was a pleasant surprise, I definitely made up for sitting out most of the T5 raids as of late. Did 12(!) Ho-Oh raids yesterday with mine and my fiancee's account to try and get her a shiny, had no such luck. Managed to catch 23/24 between the two accounts. None of the new shinies for either of us, though Saturday she finally found a shiny Roselia (we had obligations that kept us from playing during the Dortmund event, thus no shiny flowers that weekend).

A fun event that I wish was going on for a few more days. Now to try and bag a shiny Wingull or two and get ready for the inevitable Moltres Day.

Yeah, all those sunkern tasks were a bit of a nuisance (there were 3 stops that literally were the catch 3 task the whole week). Nice work getting all those ho-oh, no one around here was interested in raiding ho-oh (but I already got a shiny from last time it was around, first ho-oh raid I did). I wonder what they'll do in winter, if they'll have a hoenn event in December people with a lot of snow probably wont be able to play, so I wonder If they'll hold off on one for a while

I don't think we'll see a Hoenn event for a while, the Kanto and Johto ones were due to special research releases. Although now that I think about it, Mew and Celebi were roughly 4-5 months apart and that does put us in the middle of winter... Anything could happen I guess. We'll likely see some winter event first, featuring enhanced ice-type spawns, Delibird's return, and Santa hat Pikachu again.

We had a lvl 34 82% T-tar spawn during the event that was exciting!

Color me jealous. To this day I've yet to see a wild Tyranitar, much less one that's potentially usable right out of the gate.

Well... f*ck.

I couldn't do the Larvitar CD and I saw 0 wild Larvitars during this event... I am in dire need of candy to power up my only SD TTar and maybe a second dark one, not to mention to evolve my shiny Larv. My raid group is less and less motivated to raid TTars: last time we were only 2 and couldn't duo it. I got a Larvitar quest though, hard as f*ck but I'll get it eventually.

I caught a wild Blissey, CP2800+ though. I guess that's a consolation :D

I caught 13 larvitar and 2 pupitar. Saw 3 Wild tyranitar but couldn’t get to them in time.

I also caught 2 Togetic, 2 shiny Snubble, shiny Pineco, a few Miltank and various others.

No shiny Ho-Oh though :(

I've seen 3 larvitar in the last week. I guess that's 3 more than a normal week.

Not thrilled by my relative inability to play. Saw one Larvitar, but loads of Houndour (maxed my level 38 that was sitting there finally) and Swinub. So sitting pretty for Mamoswine. Otherwise, just nice to see a change in spawns.

Found my first wild Tryanitar a few days ago and got me another hundo Larvitar that I have no need for. I'll save it just in case....

There's still about 23 hours left of the event.

Anyway, I haven't focused that much on Larvitar. Had 1300+ candies left after the community day so I wasn't in any need to get more. Would have been nice to find a great IV one, but I have a few decent Tyranitar already.

Would however gladly trade more than half of my Tyra candy for a shiny Ho-oh. I'm now at 39 raids without a shiny :(
