I believe mining confirms Mew has a 100% Catch Rate and 0% Flee rate, not sure how the other legends work.
Mew is probably because they expect people to want more of them than most Legends since it has the giant movepool customization "appeal"

Mew is one-time only, thats why he has 100% catchrate
However, if you have a ShadowBan, he will flee straight away...

What’s Shadowban?
You can only catch certain Pokémon (mainly common garbage like Hoppip and Pidgey)
Others will flee (including Mew holy crap)
And I think it also overrides the spawns of other Pokémon with the common ones, but Go+ should bypass that (1 Pokéball isnt that great however)
Ive heard it takes two weeks to lift off

100% catch rate, may be shiny and you can only ever get 1 mew. People (legit included) have already gotten Mew. Your 7 stamps for your quests are separate and will lead to a legendary (I.e. Moltres).
Overall, once you complete the Mew quests they disappear and the next one will likely be Celebi.
Focus on using Pinap Berries, as just like Go Fest as you have a 100% chance, and just like Kyogre they updated Mew’s learnset just upon release and there are sooo many options for both the Quick and Charge Moves.
Does it reset ?
(I am not currently spoofing, but wanted to know if catching legit in the 2 weeks resets, like a softban would reset the cooldown and you would have to wait once again).
This will look quite nice alongside my 2 10/10/10 Mewtwo. Thankfully this thing is not metagame relevant and resource draining. My IV luck knows no bounds.
This is false. Shadowbanned players can still catch Mew.
There are no berries in the Mew encounter; it's just the Poke Ball and an unlimited amount of tries. Yes, it breaks out.
Shadow is 2 weeks. If you get flagged again (while you're still shadowbanned) it continues. The only way to fully remove it is to play legitimately; if you start to cheat again it will commence once more.
Is there a way to know when the Shadow Bann has worn off?

If there is a best set for it, I plan to use Shadow Claw and Dazzling Gleam.
There is also Dragon Tail, and Ice Beam for coverage.
I find that Shadow Claw will handle enemy Psychic types and it’s Ghost Type Counters, while Dazzling Gleam will handle Fighting types, and hurt it’s Dark Type Counters while still threatening Dragons. Plus Shadow Claw is one of the best fast moves, period.
If only it got Future Sight, Dynamic Punch, or Transform, then it would have the ultimate niche of possibly transforming into a better version of the foe it is facing. Yes, Mew learns Transform since Gen I.

Yea; the warning goes with and you'll be able to see evolutions and rare Pokemon again.
Imo Mew is too weak to have a dedicated moveset; its stats do not translate properly to Go and even having a wide variety things to choose from detract from a lack of STAB. Imo it's best use is probably a Shadow Claw / Dark Pulse moveset as a Mewtwo counter, since it's basically the only thing aside from Mewtwo itself that can reliably take on it. DPS wise I think Dragon Tail / Solar Beam reigns over all its other moves, but again, that shitty Atk and lack of STAB makes it so inferior to a lot of things. Changing moves is also close to impossible given its giant moveset, further compounding its issues.
Latios and Latias
Eggs should have hatched as of 30 minutes ago; Lugia is gone and the Eggstravaganza is also over.
Latios: North America, South America, and oddly, Africa
Latias: Europe and Asia
They switch on May 8 and leave June 5. Plenty of time to dedicate to them. There is also a Raid Boss shakeup in order to counter the Eon Duo, so expect the usual culprits like Gengar and Tyranitar to still be Raid Bosses, and some added new ones to the mix.
The best counters to both of these are Dragon-types, such as Rayquaza, Dragonite, Salamence, and Latios itself. They have relatively weak movesets for Raid Bosses (except Solar Beam on Latios) so Ray and co. can handle the DB / DC movesets as well. The other efficient counter is Tyranitar but it must be wary of Solar Beam from Latios. More budget counters include the Ice-types (like Jynx), Scizor, and Houndoom.
Metagame relevance: Little. Latios is a fantastic gym sweeper with Dragon Breath / Dragon Claw, but this isn't as lucrative in today's metagame and DPS-wise it's behind Rayquaza and Dragonite. Latias is an inferior Latios, of course.

Rubbish? I hatched 3 barboach and a luvdisc during this event.
Best thing I got from the Eggstravaganza (aside from a million candy) was a 93% shiny Pichu; I guess I'll count my blessings given it was a full odds shiny.
The change when unnoticed until it hatched, but Latias has Outrage instead of Dragon Claw now, giving her some oomph during raids. The counters should still remain roughly the same in terms of DPS, though.

First day, and I already got a 15/15/13 Latias. Arceus gave me such blessings for the hardships in the awful RL weathers and difficulty in even landing proper hit on her. Forget the birbs, they are really difficult to score a constant Excellent.

Latias is stupidly easy to catch, out of first 5 hits 4 were excellent, and doesnt break out as much as Rayquaza from my experience
Overall, a decent raid boss even tho Im definetly hyped for Latios more

Be glad, at least it's not Kyogre.
I've lost count how many Aron and Wailko I've hatched.
The only good thing was few basses that's not better than one I already have....
I thought raid bosses only run away when you run out of Pokeballs.
As in, I had 11 balls to try and catch it. Yet it still ran away after having 11 shots at it. Hence my disappointment.
Not surprised this hasn't been posted given how... non-hype it is but Ampharos's move in Community Day is going to be Dragon Pulse. Completely metagame irrelevant and we have no idea how they'll work in Mega Ampharos as is. Collectionists probably don't have to worry TOO MUCH either as said introduction of the Mega will probably reintroduce the move in some fashion.
I think I have had just enough. There's no way one person can be physically fit staying all night for hours just to attack gyms.
So, I live in outskirts area. I covet other outskirts' gyms which don't seem to have as much activity as the central city for I want to get Golds, but each night there's just be this one nightwalker screwing me up. I notice they're also cowardly, not attacking tall gyms. Either this guy is a darned spoofer or just so dedicated to point of having no life.

I can get why a player might avoid full gyms. I'm in this crunch zone right now where I have 0 potions and the stops only give me one once in a blue moon. So I have to give the hairy eyeball to gyms I want to take and ask myself, "Are any of these gyms worth placing defenders, knowing that once they come back, I can't use them for quite some time afterwards?"
the usual gym hog around here decided to only take 2 around here tonight, I mean I don't understand the point in taking 11 gyms at 10:30pm.. what does it achieve? other then stops people getting coins? so its nice they actually stopped taking a few, not that coins is getting an issue, but its annoying as when you want a community and you get a guy doing that.. then there is a spoofer who has decided to turn up in the neighbourhood, level 40, and from what I know, they seem to have expanded massively while maps are down, they are spoofing from miles away.
I avoid battling gyms unless I need them, full stacked 6 is handy for badges, wont bother if it isn't a badge gym.
