I’ve been trying that Breeze app where it connects you with people and not had a single match for nearly 2 weeks. Feel a bit like Mark Corrigan at speed dating - I’d be better off speed skating

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.

See this is why I was despairing at all the outlets and creators who posted Rayquaza would be a 7 Star Raid event when we had literally no evidence of this. Turns out, it's 5 Star like the Dialga, Palkia, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Raid events.
