Which one? Larvitar?
Hopefully they'll extend this event one more day to accomodate the issues going on today, it's happened similarly before in other events.
It's a Dratini. Does the picture not come out? I tried to attach an image.
Either way, it's about time. And ironically, I didn't have to spoof to get a perfect top tier Pokémon. Yay!

a 3rd wave of Ex-raid passes for Saturday, September 30 at noon have been sent out, this time to a place I raided the legendary birds a few times but not in the past month so I didn't get an invite once again. I am getting very frustrated with how these invite passes get distributed, seems so unfair.
Do you think it's possible that the GPS having trouble accurately locating players who are at indoor stops and gyms could be a factor for false flag warnings?
Don't think so. If that would be the case everyone would be warned since that shit happens 80% of the time...
Probably whoever was catching only/mostly rare mons
Detecting GPS abnormalities is null since drift happens so much, it would look like i'm teleporting around my block very suspiciously. I also don't think that only catching rare pokemon works, since users can technically choose not to capture commons.
If I were to give a guess, i'd throw a combination of softbans+history of "long distance travel", which would impact legits because softbanning isn't incredibly rare, and certain people might be traveling to another state for their work, etc. It would also bop spoofers who spoof outside of local territories, but not so much affect those inside.

I would collect as many eggs, now that the event has been confirmed to extend an entire day due to the sever issues- www.serebii.net confirmed.
If you can get a specialized 2 KM for Chansey, or a 10 KM one which has Dratini, Lapras, you could end up a 100%!
It's okay, I appreciate you letting me know, for a second I thought it wasn't working. Plus I had an idea.
In the future, when trading becomes available I will be willing to help anyone here who might need a rare Pokemon, that I don't use.
No, some like the Dratini I hatched are legitimate. But I just thought that oftentimes it takes forever to have enough candy and stardust to turn something ideal into its final form and then to level 39. It would serve a greater purpose with someone else who saved their candy and stardust.
These days I am spending rare candies on Mewtwo, and stardust on Lugia so I can max it out, so other Pokémon that are non-legends are a lesser priority.
For example, I have a 97% level 1 magicarp and 375 magicarp candy. But I will end up using the candy, likely, on my Shiny Magicarp at 75% IVs. Some would call it a long - term waste, while others would call spending all the candy and stardust to make my level 1 Magicarp up to even just level 30 a waste, as I could have used it on better Pokémon species (stardust), or candies on stronger Magicarp (Higher level).
I have so many Dragonite that I won't be able to level up because Stardust goes by so quickly... seriously, 9000 stardust and 12 candies to boost 1/2 a level...
I encourage other higher level players to do the same. A maxed Snorlax to us is like a Blissey for them. Afterall, they can catch legends, but they cannot be used in Gyms for defense...

I've been getting more 10km and 5km eggs than usual as well. Not sure if it's just bad luck or if they changed the rates a little bit for the event. Been trying to hatch more Larvitars for candy to level up my Tyranitar (which isn't 100% but I'm impatient) since I live in the countryside and only walk about 3.4km a day total to and from work.
Same situation! I wouldn’t mind Larvitar and Dratini as well. I’ve only hatched like 2 each and they haven’t been good :/ I have too many 5 km eggs and now two 10 km eggs so getting rid of them all is hard unless I buy super incubators from the box deals to clear them all. But I don’t have enough coins :/ I really want some 2 km eggs though. Such a dilemma.
Besides not getting any Ex Raid invites to date which I'm so frustrated about, I'm doing very well with the stardust accumulation and have at least hatched 3 chanseys, a few mareeps and even a larvitar and a couple of tyrogues. I've also received lots of 10k eggs which I've been using the new egg incubators for. In addition I have also reached level 38 and have vowed not to use any stardust until after the event is over though am very tempted to power up my best raikou only if the next raid pokemon legendary happens to be suicune though I'm sure my zapdos, exeggutors & dragonites can do very well against it as well.
I wouldn't mind a Dratini or two, either. I caught two Dragonites last summer (one 47 CP, one 48 CP) and it took me a year to finally gather enough candy to max one of them (88.9%) out. Even though I bought some super incubators to hatch all my eggs, being in the countryside with just 4 Poke Stops en route to work doesn't quite allow me to replenish them. Hopefully I get some over the weekend when I head out to the city...
Well, as I mentioned earlier, Blissey can stay in a good gym long enough to get candy. It might be a couple hours if it's busy, but I can berry feed her. Blissey = Coins. Coins = Raid Passes for Mewtwo Invites or Incubators.
But I agree, any other defender seems pointless for gyms. As for Raids, Lugia is even better than Snorlax, it was basically a Snorlax with resistances, coverage, and great longevity. Snorlax is for a weaker Blissey with more Attack, with less weaknesses than Lugia.
As for Attackers I have already maxed out my near perfect Dragonites, Tyranitars, perfect Alakazam, perfect Vaporeon, and almost maxed out my Machamp.
I want some better stardust bonus; as I feel that 200 per Basic Pokemon to boost to 9K is hard.
Oh wow, but at least you got Dragonite to spawn! I think there are nesting areas for some rare Pokémon like Dratini but they’re super out of the way so the only times I’ve gotten two have been through 10 km eggs. Oh also I want Mareep since I only got one through a 10 km egg also. I literally have never seen one even pop up near me in the wild. Well, I get that some Pokémon are meant to be rare though!
Dratini and those rare pseudo-mons don't nest, but it's entirely possible to find them in biomes. For example, I live near the San Francisco Bay, and can find multiple dratini in a day. However, Dratini is incredibly rare outside of those specific biomes, which is why it's gonna be hard for you to nab any D:
Any update on Fluke with the pokemon in the gym too long? One of my raid buddies had a pokemon in a gym for 30 days until it automatically got kicked out as I was told to believe, not sure if there's a 30 day gym limit. I've only had few pokemon in gyms for 8 consecutive days at the most as all I care about is reaching 50 coins per day or targeting certain gyms towards gold badge status as possible. When this event started, I was at around 220,000 stardust, now I'm over 600,000 and will probably reach over 700,000 when this event ends. Even if suicune becomes the new regional pokemon in the Americas I'll probably still wait until the event is over before powering up my best raikou.
