Beast Balls are BACK for Necrozma Raid Day

[@nixequestrian3721]

Congrats on the shinies! I managed 30 here for 7 shinies & finally 1 hundo- could have gone for 40, but was too hot to make it happen as was purely on foot playing in 28C heat with little shade available. Was awesome to bump into someone actually outside playing at the TB, as it's usually just me on my lonesome lol. Was stoked as he had come back to the game after a 2 year break but had a decent group of remote raiders waiting jump in just as the handful of remote raiders on my list were dropping off, so from the second hour it was more making sure we got in quick before the lobby hit 20- something that hasn't happened here since Go Fest 2023. It was also way more fun having someone to banter about the game with- both the highs & lows. The only way they could have made it better was giving us 1 or 2 cosmog encounters to make sure new & returning players had something to fuse, was otherwise a really good event aye!

Oh nice, I love meeting people while playing - Have honestly built some of the best friendships I have through this game ! 30 raids more than I can remember doing the one raid day I did when I lived there 😅 Congratz on 7 shinies and the Hundo💪🏽💪🏽

[@DarkMatterWolf9]

Congrats on your shinies! Looks like you had a blast of a time for Necrozma raid day🎉👊 great video! Thank you Niantic for the beast balls🙏 and thank you Tag for the adding to friends list and invites to raids 🙌

[@NecromancerNZ]

Yo he’s back! Would love to add ya mate. I remember you from the Og days and In some videos of my other favourite creators.

[@Tagman50]

Thanks for the add bro! Looking forward to seeing how you get on over there 💪

[@rlrobbins9151]

Like you said, Today was a great day. We got a raid train going, hung out with friends, and had fun. And to cap it off I got to see how your raid day went. Great day. Please keep up the great work.

[@Tagman50]

Definitely the best raid day that we've had I'd say. And it was genuinely just me and 1Queen cruising around the route by ourselves for this one raiding at our own pace with friends jumping in from all over the world. I think you might've made it into one as well :) Thanks for the help 💪🏽

[@rlrobbins9151]

I was indeed honored to receive two raid invites from you that I got into. Even got the Charged and Ready raid achievement. Thank you. I don't remote much. Might have been the 3rd and 4th time. I have to say, I might have been one of the people who did not ready up. Around here, so few of us, we tend to not ready up so as many people can get in as possible. Now I know better. My rule will be, I'll ready up and it will be up to the person who invited us to not ready up until they think it's time to go. Thank you for all your help and hard work.

[@Tagman50]

Oh hey you're all good :) Tbh we kinda expected that too happen as the feature itself is still very new so it's all unchartered territory essentially lol. That's a great rule which I also have for myself, not everyone thinks the same though and that's fine :) It'll become the norm eventually as time passes on.

[@Thewo1verine]

I appreciate having the ability to crash into your raids last night, also please thank 1 queen for adding me! excited to meet you guys in LA if you guys are flying out !

[@AshieMC95]

If ya need a NZ raider I can help if you want more earlier time zones to crash into lobbies with :)

[@Tagman50]

Was awesome having friends be able to join in as they wish rather than sending invites hoping some will join lol Thank YOU for the carry 💪

[@bushyguitar]

Been loving your channel and uploads, very refreshing compared to most of the Pogo creators. Was a great event for sure, managed 63 raids, 4 shiny, nothing good IV wise. Not ripping on the 98, but Necrozoma in all forms isn't functional hundo, the stamina never rounds up. Also how curious, how tf did you get so many Cosmogs? I seen the 6 Dusk Manes in your latest vid and I think 3 Dawn wings? Having that many maxed out is crazy dedication, props man.

[@Tagman50]

Oh yo thats good to know, easy to assume functional hundo given its common across a lot of other mons. 4 shiny out of 63 raids feels a bit low for shiny rate, hadn't really seen too many good IVs across the board this round either 🤦‍♂That 98 was the only 98 and best I could pull off even after 40 remotes. As for Cosmogs, been pretty lucky with players who were keen to trade mostly for shiny regionals (or regionals in general) from the one overseas trip we went on earlier this year. Those plus one from my alt account which I'm pretty open about, though it doesn't get much use anymore cause I don't need it with the community where I live now.

[@feifed756]

great video, but i think backgound music a bit loud

[@Tagman50]

Thanks for the feedback :) I'll work on it

[@denzop3076]

Great video and great raid day i got myself 2 98's one of them was shiny. Beast balls saved the day.

[@Tagman50]

Congratz on the shiny 98!!💪🏽 Thats honestly insane even if not shundo, the best overall I ended up with was a black 98 😅

[@AshieMC95]

I saw my name in your lobby lol. I sadly didn’t get a shiny from your raids. But appreciate the invites. I always readied up so not sure who was dropping the ball! I got my remote limit max & got 5 shinies. Also my friends list wasn’t showing anyone in raids even after I got invited

[@Tagman50]

I only remembered half way through the day that theres a minimum friendship level for seeing friends in a raid - Might be why you were unable to see anyone raiding on your list. Great friends and up only apparently Congrats on 5 shinies 💪 Did better than me with less raids 🤣

[@AshieMC95]

@ I ended up with 7/42 so my luck did diminish a little bit later on. I have plenty for lucky trades seeing I got absolutely no cosmog and no good ivs

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Sponge.. lol.. congrats bro! - The LIM Report aka Oliverqueen2020

[@Tagman50]

Thanks bro, hope your day went well 💪

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

@Tagman50 27 raids to get my first shiny from this event ! But hey necrozma is meta and fun to raid! Plus the cosmog candy!!!

[@Stuffynes]

So stoked to have the beast balls - no fear of missing a catch 😂

[@Tagman50]

Haha for real aye, my best catch rate on a legendary mon cause of those 😅

[@chaosdragun1608]

Unfortunately without another cosmog ive no reason to play this event. Ive more than enough energy, 30 necrozma with a background, you can get this time, & 6 shiny i still need to trade. The events just a cash grab and Niantics counting on people not understanding they are getting ripped off

[@Tagman50]

That is very fair :) I know a few that didn't raid for the same reason and agree 100% with the event being a cash grab - I completely understand this, but I enjoy it and seeing others happy to play the way they choose too as well 💪We have a community thats built pretty well around this game and recent cash grab events 😅 Yes, I know this is all part the greater plan from Niantic also haha, but we're still smiling 😁

[@NecromancerNZ]

@@chaosdragun1608 that’s fair assessment but also I feel we always need to remember that we have the power to choose. Not to participate and do other things.

[@chaosdragun1608]

@Tagman50 absolutely. I just wish they'd of put cosmog out so it could be a complete event is all. Glad yours turned out well!

[@Tagman50]

@@chaosdragun1608 I feel pretty cheated not getting another cosmog too tbh given the amount of dollars we put into this game and I can tell we're not the only ones who feel the same way. I'd say it'll be pretty calculated on Niantics part which probably means another cash grab event coming for a cosmog separate from the raid day 🤦‍♂Probably the shiny release

[@chaosdragun1608]

@Tagman50 its sad that companies resort to giving you less than you need just so they have the opportunity to sell to you again all without even telling you that you're being cheated. This event by definition was predatory from that standpoint. They advertised it as a fusion event but didn't give you everything necessary to fuse....I don't have the resources to sue them but sounds a bit like false advertising lol
