Considering that the species is determined the moment you receive the egg, Id be surprised if the same wasnt true for IVs.

So now that i have a few enteis im looking forward to Suicune. What Pokémon should I be powering up?

Raikou is the best, followed by Zapdos. For non-legendaries, double grass Exeggutor and Victreebell, followed by Jolteon.

So the final 3 you listed lol. Not wanting to use rare candies on anyone but Mewtwo.
Edit: all of those are relatively low cp Pokémon, no wonder why he's supposed to be hard.

Well, as is generally the case, Mewtwo actually is a solid counter for Suicune. Technically better than Jolteon. Similarly, Dragonite is also a good back-up, as per usual (though naturally this is one of the few cases where Tyranitar isn't, given the type disadvantage).
If you have Dragonite with Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw, just use that. I find it to be more effective and fun way to fight Suicune when we had it. And longer lasting too! I usually use Zapdos (we didn't have Raikou at that point) to soften it, followed by an Exeggutor, then 2 Dragonites with DB/DC in a row. The rest are depending on whether or not other raiders are enough in quality or quantity. If not, I usually stick a Blissey at the end just so I don't get KO'd before Suicune konks out.
EDIT: IME, due to its elemental properties, Zapdos will die quickly while also dishing out a lot of damage on Suicine. They essentially canceling each other out but because Suicine is stronger in CP, your Zapdos will die quick. So I won't recommend putting Zapdos towards the end of your line-up. Put it first up.

Why? If you get knocked out you just go in with 6 more.

Good lord, those were all from this event? All i hatched was one 5km egg
Yeah but then you lose all of the damage you've dealt on the Raid creature when you rejoin. All damage you've done to it is reset upon rejoining. Depending on how much health bar is left, you may end up losing on the bonus ball(s) based on damage done to the creature.
Heh. Mind you, I did spend quite a bit of money on Super Incubators and I walked so much at one point my legs felt like they're about to fall off. And I did get a lot of crap on top of those good ones. So it's not all fun, honestly.

I didnt know about that
Today seems to be the day.No invites went out last night i guess?
How the hell can you have that much candy? Thats insane!
Leg day EVERY DAY.
Unless there is a nest nearby, constantly using Pinaps and putting in an insane amount of time into Raiding to put the Rare Candies into Dratini's, I cannot see how you get that much.

did my first Suicune raid. And got it
Man I'm so lucky.
1/1 for Entei and 1/1 for Suicune now.
So I don't need to worry for another month now. Very cool.

Dratini and Dragonair are water spawns. They're uncommon spawns but if you have a lot of water spawn points, a lot of activity on those spawn points and use pinaps, it's not too unreasonable to farm that amount in a week.
Central London + full-time job and partner to look after in evening/weekend doesn't allow for candy farming - if only!
Still very proud of my 100% Kadabra though!
Let's hope so
Tempted to max out the other two Ttars but i guess i'll start saving stuff for gen 3, it kills me to spend 9k of dust for each power up lol
And watch Mewtwo having Focus Blast and making all my Ttars useless lol
Can we get another week of double dust please?
hahaha.
Yeah, I work near several big water spawn points, one of which is a parking lot so lot of spawn points. I pinap EVERY Dratini, Dragonair & Dragonite I see. so it adds up quickly. Esp for Dragonairs & Dragonites. I also don't EVER transfer my dratinis until a 2x event, so I have over 150 (+ Dragonairs & Dragonites) on me, thus 300+ next 2x candy event. So that adds to it quickly. I am also subscribed to a scanner, so I know when Dratinis & such spawn, so sometimes if nearby or on the way I'll go after them. So that is how I have nearly 2,500 Dratini candies.
The recent event did have me hatching 3 Dratinis, so that prob added over 100 candies. Also caufght at least 1 Dragonair & 2 Dragonites (1 of which was a lv 1 so easy catch).
Ok, grand total time of the more interesting of the 206 eggs I hatched.
Of the ones I counted below, the most interesting was a 98% Mareep. A 91% Porygon & 93 Chansey. I'm going to fully check them all to see if I have anything else interesting.
Larvitar: 18
Chansey: 15
Mareep: 13
Porygon: 9
Tyrogue: 9
Snorlax: 7
Lapras: 6
Miltank: 6
Dratini: 5
Kabuto: 5
Omanyte: 4
Aerodactyl: 4

I got a perfect IV Quilava from somewhere. Don't know if I evolved it or got it from a raid. Thank god I checked before transferring.
Welp, that makes 2 now, Quilava and Graveler.
Also, I wish this game would add boxes. I want to keep 1 of every Pokemon just for collection sake. But it makes mass evolving, sorting, giving to professor more confusing.

After four Entei raids with no results, I went out in the rain to try a Suicune nearby. We have a Discord group so enough people were coming. We took it down fairly easily and then I threw one golden berry on it, did a normal Great throw and boom, there he was.
Well, I'm happy for now.

Why are Eevee's in 5 KM eggs?
I've hatched and have almost nothing but 5 KM eggs and they all have been such disappointments. I have 7 more 5 KM eggs and 2 10 KM eggs that I have high hopes for.

Because they are? They've been in 5k eggs since sometime last year.
5ks usually are disappointing to me as well. 2ks too, but I only walk those with my infinity incubator (unless an event like the one we just had). I still like 10ks, but only thing I want out of them are stardust and possible 100%s.
Speaking of eggs, I have 38 full Special Incubators left over. That's not even counting the ones that have 2 or 1 uses left. Saving those for Universal. heh

Bite Crunch Ttar is still fine against focus blast Mewtwo. I fought a Fb Mewtwo. I was in the non-mystic group so we only had 10 people. It was still pretty easy. Sure we went through our first 6 but we still beat it fast. Bonus balls are nice but the catch rate is high.

I just told my brother that I tend to see 2 or 3 Eevee's whenever I take out the trash and I run into Stantlers every morning I take my oldest to school. Whenever I see those pop out of a egg all I can think is "why?"
Happy anniversary or Honeymoon (I totally just had a brain fart and forgot which applies to you.)
Honeymoon.
Getting married on the 28th this month. Then going to the beach in Florida for a few days and then driving over to Universal for 2 & half days. I don't plan on playing much while at the beach, maybe load it up every so often during some down time or so, but won't really be chasing Pokemon at all. There are a few Pokestops/gyms on the Beach it self & at my Hotel. so don't need to worry about that. It's not until Universal that I'll be playing a lot more (like I did last year)
Though, my fiancee, Lori, now actually plays with me and really likes the game, so who knows heh. She is almost lv 30 now.
Yeah, I used to see them ALL the time, so yeah I was like "why?.." too. I don't really see them that often anymore.

Just hatched a perfect IV Dratini!! Perfect way to end the events leftover eggs
Man that's annoying! I think the worst I ever encountered was having to use 7 or 8 to get the right charge move out of my 98% Gyarados. It kept bouncing back and forth between the ones I didn't want, and after the third one I had to keep going so that it would be a total waste, lol.

Got two 95+ Enteis on both of my accounts already. This month is ruined for me, I have nothing to look forward to now.
Nope :/
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
ive had zero motivation to go out and do enti raids think i am burned out on them think i am going to go at this a little more casually and only use the game as a thing to play on my way home if a friend wants to go out ill go out and play it with them but other wise going to take it easy until they put out more things to do in the game
This post gave me anxiety
Happens to me with iPad now. This is a problem that plagues my Android devices but now it seems to have made its way to iOS devices too. It really sucks. I don't know what Niantic is doing with their QA.
Guess so, but this seems to happen whenever I put my 8 Plus in battery saving mode
Niantic sure trying so hard to get me to delete the app from my phone for good with the bs its pulling. 2nd legendary dog that just won't be caught doing everything right throw and berry wise. Even accounting for curve ball bug does nothing for the catch rate.
Not interested spending more days doing all the right things and whatch random peopel barely playing catching this thing on the first ball with a crooked throw.
And ofc doing that on purpose yourself doesnt do jack shit either.

All those things do bump up the catch rate and just throwing straight up does do shit, it lowers your chance of catching it.
Are you really watching random people's catch attempts?
You may just want to put the game down until gen 3.
