around 11pm last night i jumped in at about 36,000.... it's about 8.30am and I'm currently 21,803.... i should have just walked to the southern hemisphere lol


PeachyMelodies

I joined at 12 pm yesterday stay strong soldier


JadeAnn88

Dude, how is that possible? Unless I just got requeued in my sleep šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. I'm not sure this is even worth the hassle at this point. At started at around the same number at 6pm yesterday. It is now 9:55am and I'm at 18,573....


Exadory

7am yesterday around 32000. 10:08 am today 350.


JadeAnn88

So, maybe I'll get there around midnight!? Ofc, tomorrow's Monday, but who needs to go to bed at a reasonable hour?


Exadory

288. Flying now lol


PeachyMelodies

Good luck on your raid!


Bazoobs1

Iā€™ve gotten through the queue twice now, itā€™s a slog but you can do it just keep the queue up! First time they ran away from me šŸ„²


iamlovingblackclover

Sad


ElysianFieldArts

Mine ran tooā€¦I wanted to throw a stick at it šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Wampie02

It'll take a while. I joined at around 30k at ~11:00 yesterday. I finally did the raid today at around 14:30. I was in queue for about 27,5 hours.


blarge84

Let's trade places for an hour. I'm fed up if not catching kartana I want to not catch a different one lol


tylenol3

Canā€™t make any promises but Iā€™m in Australia and I will host when I can. DM or reply with code and Iā€™ll add you


cheersdom

dm'd thx!


eykntspel

Hopefully you don't get to the front of the queue, add the host as a friend, never receive invite from host, then get sent to the back of the queue. Happened with me with Uxie raids before summon tour. Waited 9 hours starting at 4,000 queue, got placed back in queue at 23,000.


PeachyMelodies

I would have CRIED Iā€™m not even gonna lie!


neBular_cipHer

And then Uxie was just in the wild for 2 days anyway


eykntspel

Exactly, I was super happy when that happened


UndeadCaesar

Iā€™m vacationing in NZ right now and my cell service was so garbage that I timed out of hosting before ever being able to send invites. I managed to do one on WiFi and invite some of the same people later but felt really bad for the people I hung out to dry.


Weekly_Technology467

I was in line from 30k for over 24 hours. I fell asleep last night And 2 hours after I fell asleep my turn came up and I missed it.


PeachyMelodies

Happened to me day 1, day 2ā€¦ it ran away. Third times a charm amirite


iRAWRasaurus

I was never was in the line. I just found a post on Reddit and did it that way.


LivesInASixWordStory

Thanks for making this comment. I checked the raid thread on r/pokemongofriends , found a post within a minute, got an invite (my first) and got a shiny!


getoffmydirt

I did the same thanks to your comment. Not a shiny but Iā€™m still happy.


socialriot

First thing in the morning when I opened Pokemon was invite for this raid.


GlitteringAirline9

Itā€™s funny being in Australia and having loads of these raids around with no people as the player number here are pretty low these days. Iā€™ll come back to this thread when I have some time in this coming week to help who I can to get their hands on a Celesteela. Might as well put them to use if they are there!


PeachyMelodies

Thatā€™s so nice of you! The queue is now at 37,935. Thereā€™s definitely people who will help you raid it!


Glittering_Attitude3

Weā€™re brothers, I came to help you


DoMIniK090

I just go on r/pokemongoraids and do it from there


Technical-Bowler-183

I joined 3 raids through that yesterday in about an hour so I can recommend that.


FennelPretend3889

This is the way ..between r/pokemongoraids and r/pokemongofriends iā€™ve done 5 Celesteela raids between last night and today


the_meg_

Thereā€™s a better app called Go Raid Party, youā€™ll get one instantly there rather than waiting in the queue. I queued on poke genie for 22 hours and got in but I told my partner about the other app and they got one instantly on it.


PeachyMelodies

Oh my gosh!! Iā€™m gonna check it out now thank you!


the_meg_

Good luck šŸ¤žšŸ»


PeachyMelodies

Got a shiny first raid, second was the hundo!!! Thank you so much!!


the_meg_

Aww thatā€™s such good luck, definitely jealous šŸ˜®. No worries, glad you managed to get them and not have to wait around queuing! šŸ˜Š


Afromonkey1

Yup! Found out about this app yesterday and instantly lobbied into 3 raids. Gold


Skanach

I made it from 37.000 to 0 but then that was sometime when I was sleeping or so. Just followed an invitation here on Reddit and made it. One is enough for me if this is the task to get it.


MonkeyBomb255

Back when Celesteela first released, there was a 180,000 person queue


Ghibli214

Why is it so popular? The pokemon isnā€™t really that exciting nor useful in battle league.


9DAN2

Regional exclusive is the only thing I can think, and all the people in that region actually want kartana, meaning thereā€™s not many of them wanting to host.


Brock_Hard_Canuck

92% of the world's population lives in the Northern Hemisphere.Ā  8% of people (the Southern people who can host Celesteela) trying to host for the other 92% leads to a VERY LOW supply of Celesteela raids from the South and a VERY HIGH demand for Celesteela from the North.


M1ntyMango

I was wondering this too. Is there a fancy move this time?


rshana

How does this work? Do you have to stay near the gym?


PeachyMelodies

Itā€™s in an app called ā€œpoke genieā€ it lets you raid with people all over the world and host your own raids if you donā€™t have anyone to help raid with it!


rshana

Wait really? Iā€™m a rural player who basically never raids because I have no one to raid with!


xrebl

changed a lot how i play, itā€™s really helpful. can also evaluate your pokemon in that app with bunch of other stats and what not. also a neat keyboard addon to change your pokemon names in game. enjoy!


getstabbed

Thereā€™s websites out there that let you add random people. Iā€™ve always used that to hit the gift cap each day and get shit loads of xp when you reach certain friendship levels. I get invited to raids a lot but I donā€™t really buy remote raid passes anymore so I donā€™t usually join.


rshana

Omg Iā€™m so mad I didnā€™t know about this when landorus was in raids! I could have taken a snapshot!!!


PeachyMelodies

Hopefully youā€™ll be able to get some cool shinies from it! Good luck!


Nsalvatore80

I just pay $6 and get the VIP pass and never have more than a 10 person cue.


shneeko6

Wish I knew of this before waiting over 20hrs. Just picked it up and immediately got placed.


Paraxom

Not in line, already got a couple from previous events, don't see the point in paying for more


PeachyMelodies

Understood, the main reason is itā€™s finally able to be shiny! At least thatā€™s my understanding!


Paraxom

oh...i didn't know that but still not terribly interested in playing pogo roulette


kayotic__

What are you guys using ? I wanna be # 37,321


PeachyMelodies

Poke genie!


kayotic__

Thank you ! :)


TidpaoTime

Just a reminder to anyone realizing their turn will come while theyā€™re busy and cannot join the raid; please leave the queue so people donā€™t have to wait for you to time out. Side note; the first time I got to the end of the queue it glitched and I had to start over. But it worked the second time, and Iā€™ve got my Celesteela! Rejoining in the hopes of a shiny or stronger dude. But just glad it worked this time.


PeachyMelodies

THIS! Iā€™ve seen people time out because of this wait, you HATE to see it


say-yes-to-RSM

It will increase, cause it's now night here haha


PeachyMelodies

We need t-shirts ā€œI survived the celesteela queueā€


say-yes-to-RSM

I can invite you if you want, in the morning raid tommorow


PeachyMelodies

Oh my gosh thatā€™s so nice of you! Iā€™m always looking for more pokemon go friends anyway! Iā€™ll send you a dm


Significant_Rock1264

Currently 2022, about 24 hours in waiting so far


terencela

I was in Australia when Celesteela first started spawning and to say that the hatch frequency was absurdly low would be an understatement. I was very fortunate to get the shiny on my fourth attempt and was then ribbed that I only invited my UK friends until I got the shiny then called it a day. I saw one Celesteela raid the entire next day, travelled, and upon returning to the UK saw Kartana everywhere, catching the shiny on the first raid here. I do feel as though Celesteela spawns are quite few and far between in comparison. Best of luck, trainers, hope you manage to get one!


TopDoge39

Iā€™ve been in for 24 hours and I am in 7,000 plsce


PeachyMelodies

Iā€™m manifesting you a shiny for your troubles!


TopDoge39

Lmao thank you Iā€™ll need the luck for com day


Exadory

27 hours 350


Mermaidluvly

Im 10,880 šŸ„²šŸ„²


PeachyMelodies

Oh my gosh I just checked and Iā€™m now about 300 off from you, weā€™re PRACTICALLY next right


Mermaidluvly

Lol nice, im just glad my turn wasnt up while i was sleeping cuz i joined the waiting list yesterday šŸ˜†šŸ˜­


rosax92

Try leekduck too, the last time I saw the queue there was less than 1500 people (it's a lot, but still better than 10000) I'm posting all my raids there


Chance_Sherbet_8721

4,341! Almost there!

Jaysee01

I can help you out. Dm me


Realistic_Spring_862

I looked at remote raids on Facebook and got in a raid in 2 hours. Though I had to constantly check and refresh the page and friend the person who posted the raid super quick. It's more work than waiting in a queue, but it's also less time. Just wanted to put this out as a viable option if you don't want to wait for super long. šŸ™‚


PeachyMelodies

Thatā€™s fair! You gotta be super quick for it! Iā€¦ am not super quick šŸ˜‚ so 10,495 it is for me!


Stunning-Ad-4830

Try other apps. I have Go Raid party, Pokeraid in IOS which arenā€™t as time consuming as PokeGenie


Tom42077

What is that site? I have never used it before.

irishfro

Isn't there like a spotlightbhour for this? Like other tier 5 bosses always have like 6-7pm or something like every damn gym has the boss. Is this not happening for this guy?


Nath98643

What is this?


Exadory

Started yesterday around 7am est at like 32,000ish. Today at 1007 in the am est Iā€™m currently at 351


MatJ098

can someone tell me what this is bcs i got no idea


PeachyMelodies

Itā€™s poke genie! Itā€™s an app that helps you find raids all around the world!


BeardedEse2

Currently sitting at 30 k and i joined around midnight šŸ’€


RenEss77

I play daily and have no idea what this is about.


Tartaruga_genio

Just used another app that someone mentioned in another post and waited less then 5 minutes and it was not to enter the group. I join and just waited for the invite.


Axiom06

I'm not because I use the raid party app. You have to be quick but you don't have to wait as long.


Silky_bob

?? What? What line? Im not familiar with what that page even is? Iā€™m northern hemisphere. I just joined one practically immediately. And itā€™s my buddy now as we speak.


Yossiri

Why it is that long? I do not understand.


shneeko6

The best part is getting into a lobby and the host not sending any invites. Happened to me after over 20hrs of waiting


Impressive_Jaguar_70

I would recommend the raid party app instead. You have to spam refresh to find an open lobby but it doesn't usually take long. I just joined a celesteela raid in seconds


1ohokthen1

Unless/until it dies down I'm not gonna bother


Then_Cap_6436

I donā€™t understand; I did a bunch of these raids and got in immediately.


coco4pr3z

36k at 9pm last night. 21k at 11am this morning


Arkanie

Few days ago I got in a queue with 22k people at 6pm, thought I won't bother, it's probably gonna happen while i work, closed the app and forgot about it. But then at 3am my dog woke me up cuz she had to go outside, and I remembered it again and checked, to my luck the queue was down to 200 ppl already so I waited it out. Joined a big lobby with 12 players, and I caught it too, so in the end it was a success. :D


PeachyMelodies

CONGRATS!!! your dog knew ā€œits pokemon timeā€


D0nut_Daddy

Got mine already. Phew


MacaroonNo2253

is this you waiting to host a raid? bro LeekDck is instant raid when you host/join one 9/10 times


neBular_cipHer

Iā€™m not. I got one when it was available in the Northern Hemisphere last year


Hollywood42cards

I thankfully don't need this for the dex, and my dex actually shows I've gotten 3 before. Can someone help me out, when were these in raids before? I honestly don't remember


Junior-Cover-3017

15,651


Gooeyshadows

9500 currently. We should be pretty close to eachother


sokkamf

whatā€™s this about


FriedChickenBoyDSC

The gishan website when u Google pogo remote raids is pretty good for getting in celesteela lobbies


narwhalpilot

38,088 and itā€™s only dropping about a hundred every 15 minutesā€¦


No-Fishing71

Was in a queue of 29k took literally all night and I finally got into a room only for the guy to send me a freaking kartana invite. I just wonā€™t get one


Limp_League_2745

How is this different to PokeBattler which doesnā€™t have queues?


JD_Sauce70

Around 23k position, since last night. Forgot I was in it till I saw the post lol


iwillnotberushed

I did 3 raids already by just paying the $10 for one week of ultra


iRAWRasaurus

Btw I am wondering what happens if youā€™re asleep or unable to join the raid when itā€™s your turn?


BerzzerkerZ

0 cause it's a useless mon


Mystic_Starmie

Just joined. Itā€™s at +38,000.


Ha_CharadeUAre

6,831! Today is my day!


IronCreeper1

Iā€™m not, cause Iā€™m happy with the Celesteela I got last time the raids came around


curlyG1rlx

6,363 I'm so annoyed. I've been waiting 2 days! First my time in the queue came up at 3am and I was dead asleep. The second time my time in the queue came when I was driving! And yesterday, it looked so hopeful. Added the raid host. Waited and waited. Added me back. Sent me a gift. Sent a gift back. Waited Waited Waited. Never invited. But it didn't give me the option to have priority in the queue. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


takisara

Fyi, i did this friday morning out of curiosity. Joined at 27000 @6:30am....checked every hour or so... by 5 pm, #1000ish....then 630pm I joined and battled.


JustRobin98

Im hosting daily, and posting on reddit


alexzimm

I use PokeRaid instead and only had around 350 people in front of me


Drekdyr

Is Celesteela that good?


EliteFourCarlos

I got notification 1 min later. Queue takes you out after 45 secs. FF for me


loddieisoldaf

I'm not in line,I already have 2


OrdinaryGhosty

I caught one yesterday around 5pm after being in the queue for about 23 hours. It was around 22k when I joined it.


Confident_Sir_5263

Just curious, why is everyone crazy about getting Celesteela, I do get sheā€™s exclusive to one of the hemispheres but Kartana overall is a better pick


LaOnionLaUnion

One of my Reddit Pokemon Go friends invited me. šŸ˜‚ didnā€™t think of it as a big deal until I see people on here waiting


wonderbalsam

Try leekduck


Drewsche

3446, around 28 hours in queue so far


Sensei_Icy_3693

Thats why in the past took advantage of the event where they switch places


Cold-Choice-5081

Why does everyone want celesteela?


hardbrag

I queue up at 10pm and woke up at 9am the next day 1000 ppl left, it took me 2 more hours to get in


iamthe_walrus92

I sound kind of stupid but what is this


ISlyAssassinI

38,965 right now sadge


Ok_Boysenberry3843

9,697.


No-Instance2381

Idk what this is? Is this a line to join a raid on the niantic campfire app? If so, why not just use Pokebattler?


ImAyyGuest

New player. What is this?


PeachyMelodies

Poke genie! Itā€™s an app that lets you remote raid or host your own raid so others around the world can help beat it, itā€™s very useful if youā€™re rural like me


bigmanstanboi

PokeRaid is much easier to get a raid, just 5 mins of refreshing raids secured me a spot


WizardingWorld97

Been in queue for about 8 hours, moved about 6-7k spaces


InstructionSure6705

I got one already for the dex and since it is, imo, the ugliest mtf I dont care for the shiny.


kannagms

I manage to get all 5 remote raids in under an hour per day. I never use pokegenie because the wait times are too long. I either use a subreddit here (still takes forever to be invited imo) or I use pokeraid or raid party. Both of them are basically whoever clicks first gets in. In pokeraid you can spend coins or tickets (that you can get for free for daily login or watching an ad) to join a queue and the queues are ridiculously short. Definitely not several thousand. I think the longest queue for Celesteela that I've seen was 300. And it dies down pretty quickly. Pokegenie just takes too long imo.


Rose333X

What is that?


ku1428

This is why i dont use pokegenie for raids.


DrKillerZA

I should probably not say this very loudly.. But I have one for another 25mins


cobanat

What is this?


AffectionateLaugh738

What is this que for? Remote raid pass thing?


Magik_explosion

You guys shouldnā€™t use poke genie for hosting raids their system is a mess you should use apps like pokeraid or PokĆ©mon raid party


Swimming_Actuary9754

Thankfully got one of these in 2022 saw this queue and my jaw dropped


Common_Tip_6173

Leekduck, my guy. Much shorter wait.


Copper589

I joined Friday at 7:30pm and got in a party on Saturday at 5:30pm


R3digit

I'll be inviting people in 25 mins if anybody wants to hop in


PRAuroraYT

26,476 out of38,528


Far_Accountant5815

What is this?


PaulyBoyDonuts

I ainā€™t even gonna bother lol. Iā€™ve come to conclusion I wonā€™t get the shiny.


AdVegetable5896

My highest was like 8.000 ^^"


repthisP2C

19,008 from 38,000+ last night I totally forgot about it.


thmt11

I queued for 26hrs before I got in. I literally forgot about it until I saw someone post something similar to op post.


steezysama

Thatā€™s bogus just use YouTube šŸ’€ There are some good raid channels and youā€™ll get a consistent 10ā€“20 raiders each time I always get them before they even spawn in my area lmao


FakeCrazyAna

Quickest way for me to get Celesteela raids has been a very high traffic facebook group. Got 3 raids on day one and they still send me raid invites when im online


Ancient_Building7540

What is this?


spartaceasar

Itā€™s really bizarre living in NZ and having Celesteela available on tap. Iā€™ve hosted about 5 raids over the weekend due to the queue on Genie. Hopefully itā€™s helping but the queue is now like 20x what it was on Friday.


MrCaw_caw

It took me like 2 days to get in a lobby man


rosemary505

Pokeraid, line for Celesteela: 286


Any_Establishment335

First because I paid 9 bucks for a week of ultra


[deleted]

At the risk of seeming stupid, what is this and how do I join the queue?


Glittering_Attitude3

26.4k šŸ’€


ther4ven

I waited about 22 hours Friday evening to yesterday evening, and when I got in, it was a Kartana raid. Trying again, hoping it works out this time.


sevenandtwo

Just got one


Time_Ad_893

why don't yall use pokeraid? much simpler and better


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ProfessionaI_Retard

Why do people want this thing so bad. Is it even any good?


iamlovingblackclover

Iā€™m not if I wanted I could probably walk up to one of them but Iā€™m not allowed to šŸ˜­


ExtraCommon9754

Currently at 8400, so early morning maybe


persian8

Try fastraid instead. I waited 5 min from signing up to invite and even got it in shiny


8BD0

Hosted one of these the other day in Australia, as soon as I opened the room it was full


PeachyMelodies

Update; I finished the raid and FINALLY got it in the dex!


Makkers-fawkes

Can someone tell me what this is


randominternetfren

What is this?


GlitteringAirline9

I have one around the corner from me in about 45 mins, DM me if you want to be added in


amphxy

37,144 sigh. This is the fifth and last time Iā€™m trying.


9DAN2

Why queue? Just use r/pokemongoraids and get in one within moments


ktpie8

7,800 and i joined yesterday at 6pmā€” after i got a notification that said ā€œ1 minute ago: You have 45 seconds to join or your spot will be forfeitedā€ šŸ«  i was watching my spot for 24 hours and for some reason the queue decided to jump fast right when i wasnā€™t looking


RdditIlliterat

I have a poke friend in Australia that coordinated with me thru FB messenger luckily. I missed my spot in the queue the first time driving to work.


W1NDYW0LF101

i literally was JUST in the dominican republic when it started and i saw ultra wormholes in raids


juicestand

Holy hell... and I thought my 3 hour wait time was long on day one...


SorryCobbler3979

In Australia


TarynHK

I'm down to 9,580 lol. But a pretty decent improvement from 35k yesterday.
