I did this today in a major city I hadn't been before. Got almost 150K XP doing this. Just spinning, nothing else to it. Damn, I'm definitely going to miss the Double XP event :(Double XP event + Lucky Egg + spinning an unseen Pokestop = 1K XP per spin. That's mad. Let's say you enter a major city centre that has thousands of unseen stops. Around 4/5 spins per minute = 120K+ XP, just for spinning. Definitely a good substitute when you're out of fodder for evolving :D
Another Double XP event? That would be seriously amazing.If I read my sources correctly, the Christmas event should start in 2 weeks after Ho-Oh is finished and we should have double XP, double candy and a chance of a shiny cleffa from egg, hopefully that includes 3rd gen as well as the double XP along with new registration would be brilliant, we'll see. At the end of this last event, I'm happy to say I'm 1/4 on my way from level 39 to level 40 and had reserved over 1 million in stardust which I only intend to use with my essentially maxed out raid attackers that are needed for legendary raids and certain Tier 3 raids that could use some guaranteed help.
It's not, but it'll take a lot of effort on Niantic's part to make it workable. In other words, it's not happening.I don't think the battle style is inherently anti-PvP
I just looked again the the source that was shared in my facebook group and saw negative feedback on it, so until I see a more reliable source I'm not going to trust this information.Another Double XP event? That would be seriously amazing.
Are you actually looking forward to becoming level 40? Doesn't becoming level 40 take away all the main goals you have in this game?
Also, may I ask what your 'sources' are? I'd like to inform myself on these things as well :)
That link you shared... I wouldn't take anything from that. I literally LMAO'd at the sources/videos they provided.I just looked again the the source that was shared in my facebook group and saw negative feedback on it, so until I see a more reliable source I'm not going to trust this information.

We already had the double XP/stardust so I doubt it's all going to happen again so soon, we'll see. While achieving level 40 would be nice, I'm only going to make any push towards it when we have double XP events, otherwise I'm now at a level where I can essentially max out stuff. If there's anything else I desire more and seems to elude me is to ever get that ex raid invite that most all my other raid group partners seem to already have, some have gotten repeat invites while I never got one, so it's very frustrating not to get one even at gym locations where I've recently raided and some of the others that were in the same lobby got one while I still didn't.
Raid Pokemon (both regular and Legendary) are subjected to the same system as eggs: They all have minimum IVs of 10/10/10 (67%) to 15/15/15 (100%) and come at level 20. Aside from that, they're the same as other Pokemon in that they share no special moves and the shiny-able species can be shiny (e.g. a Raid Sableye can be shiny).Quick question
Are "normal" Pokemon obtained from raids in anyway different from random wild/hatched mons of the same species? I figure legendaries have some kind of IV safety net akin to the games, but aside from relative ease of access, is there any reason to pursue Raid Machamps compared to "regular" Machamps?
