Up at 10 lines in bingo. Should be 12 this week!

I hit the jackpot this afternoon with ten magikarp candy on my usual walk. I generally pick up between two and four so ten was right off the chart. I now have 410 candy and two wonderful specimens. It's taken me two months and miles of walking to get to this point so I want to make sure that I pick the right one because it will be two months before I have another chance. Tomorrow is decision day, the winner will become MrFlappy.

Had a great 90 minutes hunting today in Northampton town centre. I parked outside Jenny's on Abington St and fired up the app. My phone buzzed and a Drowzee was there. Caught it and another appeared. Then another. This is before I got out of the car.

When I got out of the car and had a look around I saw loads of Pokestops, about 8 of which had lures running. I added 5 to my Pokedex, a Rhyhorn, a Dewgong, a Magnemite, a Jynx and a Koffing.

caught a few Weedledicks, Pidgeyfuckers and Ratbastards, but it was mostly Drowzees. About 40 pf them amongst the probably 100 I caught in the hour and a half I was there.

I am now caught 58, seen 58. I have 2 lines, probably the lowest on the thread. :o

Pikachu hatches from 2k eggs. 🤗

FlappyFish · 17/09/2016 20:13

I've managed to evolve my other one to Raichu. This little one may have to live on me forever more.

Shock.

I still don't have a Pikachu. Not even the shadow of one. Or a single 10km egg. I'd have thought by almost level 22 I'd have had at least one.

PickAChew · 17/09/2016 19:00

Confession time: I transferred a small pikachu, yesterday, after encountering this one, on the school run. Hatched 2, caught one, had a couple run away.

Got myself into 4 gyms on my way home from work. Saw a shadow of an electabuzz but couldn't find the bastard. So annoyed!
430 coins now and 123k. Do I do the egg or wait?? Decisions decisions.
Argh I want a Lapras.

Wotsy · 17/09/2016 18:26

BTW im level 28

PokemonGo · 17/09/2016 18:24

Here are my top Pokemon. I still like fighting with my team of volteons - there are loads of water Pokemon around our town so they work well.

I've hatched 4 Lapras but no Snorlax and I'm a million miles away from a Dragonite.

I'm still walking a lot so get to hatch a decent number of eggs.

I haven't got the buddy thing yet Sad

WeedlesHatOfDisappointment · 17/09/2016 16:38

Gutted Sad Went to Tower of London, saw the shadow of Pikachu, but couldn't find one. It then disappeared from the sightings, so we called it a day. Once ds2 is older, dh and I are going for a romantic trip to London to Pokemon hunt...

PickAChew · 17/09/2016 16:16

Ds1 has a little something on his shoulder.

Wow ReddA you must play loads?! My pokedex goes up to 149, of which I have 92. I have both a Tauros and a Pikachu both of which I caught in America this summer. America was great for getting lots of new ones particularly as some of the time we were in the desert. Getting Ekans all the time made a nice change from all the Drowzees I get back home.

SoupDragon · 17/09/2016 13:12

Yes, that's how the buddy thing works.

FoofFighter · 17/09/2016 13:09

Am I correct in saying that if you switch buddy that you'll lose your walked so far thats in progress, but you keep your candy already accrued?

QueenLizIII · 17/09/2016 12:41

I have seen Pikachu's shadow twice but wasnt able to find him. So have never actually seen one. I will collect the candies and then change to one I can evolve.

I have noticed that at level 25 the quality of the vermin is increasing. I have caught a 410CP Pidgey. Not seen one that high. That would eventually make a high CP third stage Pidgey whatever it is called.

I am not liking the randomness of the catching though. I caught a 500+XP Hypno the other day and one normal ball did it. It has sometimes taken 5 balls for a 100+ rattata or pidgey. It is just so weird.

nuttelladreams · 17/09/2016 12:35

Funny queen I'm exactly the same. I've changed my buddy to pikachu and have now walked 5k with it. I also only have one so won't evolve but will store up candy in the hope I see another one.
One of my work colleagues caught two around here but I've never been able to find them :(
I'm collecting coin and think I will buy 8 eggs as there are no more freebies until we hit 30 which will be in about 9 months time at this rate.
I'm using my last egg tomorrow I think but won't be able to get to 26.
