Thanks for that heads up, that’ll be a good trick in case someone didn’t know you could re-add.
As a look forward to step 3/8 involving hatching 9 eggs, I suggest if you have 1480 coins the Ultra Box is an excellent deal which contains 12 premier raid passes and 12 super incubators along with few other items. It's a good thing I already pre-walked eevee thinking Espeon would get a special move on community day as it already has enough to evolve then I could go ahead and start walking another eevee for the part where it needs to evolve into umbreon.
Actually I just re-read the mission on Reddit again. It says to walk 10km with Eevee to get a candy, does it register the distance walked since I receive the task or does it not matter, in that I just need a candy (so I can potentially walk 9.8km, get the mission, then walk anoter 0.2km)?
As a side note, I'm kinda glad that the first set is the only one that requires raids/battles of the known ones so far.

As if we don't have enough Metal Coat already... lol
From what I read I believe it's walk an additional 10k which I suppose I can evolve the one I already walked into espeon then walk another eevee for 10k, on next level evolve into umbreon then walk another 10k on another eevee. I could be wrong though. I have one egg close to hatching and am purposely going to wait until midnight to catch one more pokemon for the 3 day streak before hatching it along with 7 others 10k eggs already in super incubators along with a 2k egg as well. I should have super incubators for a long long time as I usually save them for 7/10k eggs to get the distance benefit.
Besides the hatch 9 eggs step, I'm glad I don't see the need to battle 10 raids like the last time.

Currently getting frustrated with the Miltank task, I'm managing two in a row but keep breaking the streak. It's also not helped by the camera panning bug at the start of every encounter as it's making me feel a bit sick watching it and throwing me off.
Oh wow... so apparently they just put a Research stack limit and screwed big time. Anyway, guys, better catch your Research reward stack before Aug 27, as it will disappear soon, apparently.
Where is the new Pokemon Box upgrade where we need it....

Save the pre-walked Eevee.
You need to walk 2 Eevee (for a total of 20KMs) for both steps and get Espeon / Umbreon. If your GPS fails, I believe you can use that pre-walked Eevee to supplement the evolution step. So I'd save it in the (unlikely) scenario you drop GPS or something.
Unlike Mew's Special Quest, Celebi's is honestly unnecessary tedium, with streaks, Eevee walking, and things like the egg hatching. Everyone that's the farthest at the moment (Step 6) has to wait til Sunday minimum (w/ exploits) to get past it.
I really have to start reading... I just realised the first task is to participate in a raid battle, I don't necessarily have to win it. Could've been on step 3 hatching eggs by now.
I don't mind the Celebi tasks at all. Catching streaks are easier to do than, say, evolve a Magikarp when you don't have any water nearby in a rural area. I mean, walking all that distance would've taken much longer than it would've to just visit Pokestops 7 days in a row, for example.

Yea, as a Day 1 player, having most of the Mew Quest requirements on hand made it significantly easier (unlike this one, which is stopped by time constraints). The only really tedious one was the Ditto step because that's RNG related and potentially time-consuming.
I'm up to stage 4 as I was able to evolve an Espeon before earning candies for the next eevee. I learned something intriguing, When I got to stage 4 almost had enough to earn a candy so once the candy was earned it appeared I completed 1/2 of the candies earned for eevee, so for those of you on stage 3 I recommend starting to walk eevee so that when it hatches the buddy is close enough to earning a candy, and then once accepting stage 4 then go ahead and earn that candy as that can save you close to 5k just this once.
I see once I get to stage 6 where it essentially makes you go on a 7 day streak of spinning a pokestop then it will get a little boring so best to stay focused with this game. My recent Raikou was 12 HP/ 15 ATK/ 12 HP making it 86.7% so I may power that one up once I have another need for electrics.

No surprise, but Entei is next.
Trainers, September is heating up with Field Research tasks focusing on Fire-type Pokémon!
Collect enough stamps during September to earn a Research Breakthrough and an opportunity to catch the Legendary Pokémon Entei!
I've noticed my TMs start to stack up a little bit. Sucks I don't have enough viable mons to use them on :(
EDIT: I finally got an EX Raid Pass! On a Monday... during work hours... at the gym that is 1.5 hours away that I've only ever been to three times on weekends. Sigh...

So the Regi drought has been ended with Ho-oh for today only. Kind of bummed as I would have liked to catch it and it's literally impossible, I highly doubt anyone in this small Scottish rural town will be playing Go. I got back into it myself so I could trade my younger brother all of my good Pokemon from when I was playing in Toronto...
(FC removed since I guess a lot of people like Scotland. Thanks for adding me!)

Feel free to add me. My friend code is 1799 4985 2840.
Looks like I'll be on that part of the quest soon as well, so I'll remove and re-add three of you.
Done, and thanks.
or just get bombarded with requests.. needed a few more anyway, game being stingy on eggs as well
did 3 Ho-ohs caught 1 of them no shiny.. last time around caught every single one.. and no shiny.. getting sad :( did get an 84% shiny snubull though
largest nest in the area is chinchou.... catch 5 waters and electric at the same time... lol

Just made it to step 6 having evolved eevee into umbreon, then claimed rewards to move onto the next step and immediately spin pokestop. 1 down 6 to go. Also evolved 2 seadras, will use 25 pinaps on rarer encounters such as larvitars and other quest encounters such as raikou and porygon.
Haha it's all good. Thanks for accepting me =)
Good thing my nearby park is a spoink nest, will use it once I get to day 7 of these pokestops. While some pokemon are easier than others to get an excellent curveball throw, I avoid certain pokemon I almost deem impossible to achieve with, namely the likes of castform, fearow to name a few.
I thought the Ho-oh event ended yesterday. I had time for two raids today, and on the first one... sun boosted shiny! This game is very rewarding sometimes
