      - That's a perfect explanation, thank you. - colin Nov 30, 14:54 1

- Keep in mind the question was really who has a high box office that has been in a lot of movies over a long period of time. It's kind of an odd - pmb Nov 30, 13:52
- Only 3 merit it imo -- ScarJo (MCU), Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock - Will Hunting Nov 30, 13:38 1
  - Unfortunately, too many quality actresses start getting passed over in their 30s and 40s for bad reasons - zork Nov 30, 14:17

  - Basically it's a chance to beat and then try to catch (if you beat it) certain 'raid boss' pokemon. -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 30, 13:26 1
    - Right - the biggest pain about a raid is having to wait 2 minutes for it to begin while the game "searches" for other players. nm -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Nov 30, 13:28

        I have around 50, and that's with extra trying to procure more. I couldn't do dratini at all, and only a bit of a few others. hopefully will be some - b. Nov 30, 13:42 2
        
        Dratini/Dragonair shiny are pretty - ty97 Nov 30, 13:49 1

  - 2 Larvitar - 12 candy down - 388 to go!! -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Nov 30, 13:13 1
    - I can't even play until after 5, but look out when work is over -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 13:18
