I'm going to assume that one gets better results breeding same colored karps.

[Venusaur King]

So do the Novelty Magikarps breed one egg at time? I haven't seen any in the shelter yet.

I'm getting either one or no eggs per breeding cycle by pairing pink and apricot. Maybe Gato's idea of breeding the same color would work, but it might take a while to get the right genders. Also, Gato, love the Chi avatar you've got there! Works great with your username too

I'm familiar with the shelter bug. I get it multiple times a day although I just refresh. Luckily it hasn't happened to me while there was a legendary or novelty egg in there :P

-------------------------------------

As for the karps
Doesn't the amount of eggs also depend on the amount of time the two Pokémon spent together??
The karps were released just yesterday so maybe they just need a few more days

Plus there's always novel power I guess

[Gryphaena]

Ooh, all the event eggs for this month are fun, I hope I remember to keep a space open, I'll be so bummed if I miss Latias, the Soul Dew I've got give me Latios instead.

I hope everyone is having a good week, I'm ready for school to start again later this month.

I'm going to my Aunt's funeral tomorrow.

Lots of people will be there, she had been a teacher for 35 years.

To think I'll never see her again.

I'm 0/2 Lugia. Because the second time people showed up and then left and we never even attempted it. Got sick of being in such a flaky group, and I can't get to half the raids anyway, so I'm just not gonna bother with the legendaries. They didn't really make it fair to people who AREN'T constantly battling and powering up their Pokemon. So screw it.

Can I ask what's your trainer level? You don't really need to be constantly battling to get legendaries. You just need a good raid group. I've found one during the GO Fest event and it has been great!

Besides, this follows the main series games logic: you also need strong pokemons to face legendaries.

I leveled up to 28 during the event. My highest CP is in the 2k rage, and all the rest are like CP1997 and lower. I've never bothered with the gyms because they were all in the 1000s within the first couple weeks the game was out, before I even had my first 200CP+ Pokemon, so I never saw much point.

We couldn't get a consistent raid group to show up. The most we had at one point was 9 people for a Lugia, and we failed it because the game hung on me while i was trying to heal my team to get back in, so there was "one person's" damage left...which would've been me...

The second time I tried, we had about 6 show up, and then one had to leave before we were even able to start. There's not enough people that don't have work/school or live close enough. I'm personally stuck with where I can get to on foot or on transit, which is about 3 gyms.

Yeah, your problem is definitely your raid group. Yesterday we had a level 17 in the group and previously I saw a girl that was level 22. If your strongest 'mon is something around 2k CP, you won't get the damage bonus, so what really matters is finishing the raid. 9 people for a Lugia is a very small amount of people, unless 8 of them were level 37+. I always recommend a minimum of 17 people because you'll most likely have some lower level guys and gals and with that number is doable.

[Gym Leader Clay]

Breeding calico and black together (and just donated a calico to the shelter!) but only producing one egg per batch cries. Shiny hunting for black because I hate myself and thought this would be a fairly smooth hunt...
Well I think it will be kind of smooth after a short while and at least these novelties don't require animal sacrifices and spending that sweet sweet gpx currency to get so eh.

How many sprite changes are there for regular karp?? That's also a thing right?? I don't play Magikarp jump so. . .

Only one.

Aww thanks!

[Synx Itax]

I caught myself two Moltres in PoGO yesterday, and that was out of four tries. It reeeeeeeally helps to have a car when raiding since you can follow them whenever they pop up. I do feel bad for those out in rural areas who may not have access to cars/public transport or where there are few gyms in general.

On the site, I didn't manage to grab any of the new 'karp from the Shelter. o_O I saw one, but I refreshed over it, and it was gone right after. I want to save my prize points and avoid buying any more Old Rods, so I'll just keep looking.

[Targaryen]

I love all the different koi colors! I didnt get my shiny Rockruff and that is ok. I am still hunting for Jangmoo and Fomantis. What 7th gen Pokemon are you guys hunting for?

[Mikaku Onchi]

I'm hunting Cutifly, Stufful, Alola Sandshrew, Type:Null and Rockruff. I'm still planning to hunt more once I finish one of my hunts.

On the subject of the magikarp patterns, I'm trying to collect all the patterns because why not...

[Naixatloz]

Just Pikipek right now. I'm gonna hunt Mareanie and Alolan Meowth when they're added, though.

[Luneon]

"Official":
Just another Rockruff

"Unofficial":
Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Grimer

Once Mareanie comes out I'll be hunting that too

[Mikaku Onchi]

Got my Dofo, thanks!
Now to think what else to try for. I'm torn between Misquaza and Lugia, but if I fail one, there's always the others.

Oh, I forgot Mareanie. I'll have to hunt that cutie too once it's in the site because pink and too pretty <3. I love Mareanie so much.

[Synx Itax]

Good, I filled my party in time. Yay!

My Gen 7 hunts are Oricorio and Rockruff, so just two SWSHs from earlier. All my other hunts are pretty much Gen 1 things because I'm trying to go through the dex in order when it comes to shinies now that I hatched most of what I wanted (minus a few newer things). I wonder if others do this...

[Gato]

Well I have two purples now, both OT'd by me. Message is "The two pokemon aren't interested in each other in the slightest."

I'm thinking we're not going to get them very compatible because they only breed novelties.

[Alchemists Fire]

I figured, which is why I've given up on raiding. I don't think they were ever able to get a group larger than about 10 people at a time. The idea of trying to get 17 of these people together is almost laughable... Not to mention there ended up being a ton of fighting in the group chat...so I just backed out. Guess I don't need legends that badly.

Articuno is the one I really wanted, since it's always been one of my faves, and I'm Team Mystic, but it just wasn't meant to be.

And so I stay inside and play GPX and PokeFarm *nodnod* I've got shiny hunts to work on anyway xD

---------

So the Magikarp are being bred, but only producing a super-small number of eggs... I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, seeing as they are novelties.

Is anyone gonna attempt to shiny hunt them? And, do they evolve?

[Gothic Togekiss]

Thanks for the Zombidofo egg, didn't expect to get anything this month to be honest.

You know this is probably me but I kind of find it funny that Yungoos didn't come when Pikipek was introduced on GTS. First route "rat" and bird duo and such.

They do not evolve.

Edit: Just put my gray Magikarp into the Daycare, so hopefully it'll help out those who need one.
