brightknightie: Cropped screenshot of my PokemonGO avatar as seen in gyms (Pokemon Go)
I have my Mewtwo! 80% IVs.

The last time that I posted about Pokemon GO, I told you that my first EX raid pass went sadly wrong (see that post), with only 3 trainers and 1 spoofer showing up. Not nearly enough to tackle Mewtwo (though we tried!). This was back when EX raids were still in beta, before Niantic added consolation prizes of premium raid passes and stardust for canceled EX raids. We walked away with nothing but disappointment. I'd simply been unlucky enough to be invited to a "how low can we go?" test.

Since then, I've received 2 — 2! — EX raid passes, including to the surprising Christmas Day raids. These subsequent 2 passes arrived so close together that I got the second before I used the first, and when I attended the first of these 2 EX raids, I caught my Mewtwo on the first ball. These highly unusual circumstances made me suspect that my account could perhaps have been on a "make it up to the player" list after that initial debacle.

Now, even powered-up, Mewtwo is far from unstoppable. Type counters and weather boosts matter! But I do love soloing Machamp raid bosses with Mewtwo leading my team. I'm building up to a Gardevoir to join Mewtwo in that mission; beating fighting types with fairies is my favorite. :-D
