Today and yesterday, we went on vacation and visited Portland, Oregon. There, we found a few Moltres Raid Battles and decided to try them out.

The Most Difficult Raid…?
A few days ago, we attempted to try out a Blastoise raid.
It was really really difficult. Let me explain:
Blastoise is a water Pokémon, which means its two weaknesses are electric and grass…
Except that Blastoise had Bite and Ice Beam. Bite is super effective against psychic-type pokémon, and Ice Beam is super effective against grass-type pokémon.
More Raid Battles and New Changes to Pokemon GO Gyms!
After the initial wave of hype over the new raid battles and the new gym system, I’ve been able to find new things about gyms.
For one, I’ve noticed that gyms have been really buggy when you try and collect the pokestop. The camera randomly jumps back down after initially showing the pokestop. It’s strange. You cannot place multiple of the same pokemon in the same gym at the same time (e.g. if I put Snorlax in the gym, no one else can put Snorlax in the gym unless I get kicked out). The maximum number of defenders in a gym is 6, and there is no more “gym level up system,” which means you cannot level up your gym to level 10, which means you can get rid of all those pokemon that you’ve been keeping for leveling up gyms.
Pokemon GO Raid Battles! Tyranitar, Electabuzz, Charizard, and Muk!
A few days ago, raid battles have been released! Yay!
The raid battles are basically huge boss battles which are sometimes very difficult to defeat by yourself. For example, this electabuzz currently has 11,311 cp, which is quite a bit. There were some, like Bayleef, which only had around 5 or 6 thousand cp, or Tyranitar, which had 34,707 cp.
Here’s my first ever raid battle:
Pokemon GO: More GPS Spoofers
A few days ago, we went to see how the Bellevue Downtown Park construction was coming along. It was decent, but it was very slow. They closed off most of the park…
A Team of Four Pokemon Go Spoofers
Yesterday, April 29, 2017, we gathered up a few friends to go hiking with us on West Tiger Mountain. We needed a discover pass, which was a ticket that you put in your car whenever you visit a Washington State Park. It was a wonderful 3.3 mile hike. We climbed and climbed, enjoying the wonderful views. We encountered three gyms there, and the five of us took down the gyms, which were mainly level 2 with one Pokemon inside. We placed all five of our Pokemon inside and continued hiking. It took us a little more than 2 hours to reach the top, and the view was extremely underwhelming. We got to the gym, and the signal was really bad. It kept switching between 2 bars of LTE to 5 bars of 3G and 5 bars of E and H. There were only two Pokemon in the top gym, so after around 35 minutes of disconnects, we finally got all five of us inside. The time was roughly 1:00 pm. We went down and went to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant at
