Well on my way home. Although I have caught loads of stuff, nothing very exciting. No pikachu in the Tower of London and no eggs in Queen's Park gardens. And no bulbassaurs in Holland Park either.
I have caught a few nidorans which will help towards evolving but that's about it.
My 10k egg gave me an electabuzz which would have been exciting if I hadn't just got one last weekend.
I'm knackered now and my feet hurt.

As I was a passenger today I caught a Clefairy and a Geodude whilst travelling at about 40mph. Also saw a Pikachu shadow, so I reckon I''m due an actual sighting soon...

Starlight234 · 27/09/2016 14:21

THank you Redda...I just used the map now and found a catterpie..woohoo.

reddA · 27/09/2016 13:11

I didn't have to download anything just went on the site, what area are you (roughly)

Starlight234 · 27/09/2016 12:48

I have just downloaded and nothing showing Enid

EnidButton · 27/09/2016 12:32

Nothing shows up on fastpokemap for my town. Does it work off sightings users have registered with them?

JellyWitch · 27/09/2016 11:45

Ive lost my Eevee nest. Magnetons are not half as cute - will have to find a new lunchtime hangout. I do have easy access to the St James Pinsirs nest though and hopefully we won't be bereft of dratinis and slowpokes round there?

I don't like change

I'm currently in 5 gyms (one for the 12th consecutive day - we took the gym a week last Thursday and it's now a L7). Team Mystic is strong in these parts.

reddA · 27/09/2016 11:41

I just look on the fastpokemap.se on the internet - i'm oop North but like looking at other places :)

PickAChew · 27/09/2016 11:18

I suppose changing the spawns prevents places from being permanently inundated and provides new stuff for players.

LBOCS2 · 27/09/2016 11:10

Hmm. Why isn't my link clicky? Anyway, Google 'London Pokemon nests map 4.0' then go to the Reddit link.

LBOCS2 · 27/09/2016 11:08

They change them every few weeks.

Try this map.

If you look at version 3.0 then cross reference known nests with fastpokemap then you'll probably get a good idea of what the nests have changed into.

nuttelladreams · 27/09/2016 10:25

Red I'm in London this afternoon!!! Where do I find info on nests??
Can I still find eggs near Russell Square and pikachu near Tower Hill?

Might stop in Holland Park for some nidorans!

reddA · 27/09/2016 09:53

The spawns have all changed overnight! Our lovely charmander spawns are now digletts, doduo and nidoran Confused Had a quick look at London - looks like Holland park is now Nidoran, St James' park is Pinsir, Battersea is Kabuto, couple of charmander on wormwood scrubs, anyone else lost a good spawn site?

MakeMyWineADouble · 27/09/2016 08:07

I'm doing a uni course at the moment and there are no electric Pokemon which is a pain as I had heard that too.

SoupDragon · 27/09/2016 07:25

I thought you had to tap the bubbles too. Until my 10 year old informed me that was not the case.

Thanks to FastPokeMap I caught an electrabuzz yesterday on the school run (random spot on a small side road with nothing of interest!). It's not a good one but its another space filled in my pokedex.

SoupDragon · 27/09/2016 07:23

There's never anything at all near my local library! It has its own pokestop so they know its there.

TaraCarter · 27/09/2016 07:19

There is a site that suggests that you should try near libraries and universities for electric pokemon like Pikachu. We are finding that there is a slightly higher rate near libraries (data: one and only Pikachu, one and only Magneton, one Electabuzz shadow).

MagikarpetRide · 27/09/2016 06:34

I used to think that too. My DC thought it was their job to collect the bubbles!

Let DC1 catch a few the other day. DC2 doesn't quite get it and keeps bringing up the screen to switch wifi on and off.

PickAChew · 26/09/2016 23:22

I thought you had to tap them, when I first started playing, but soon realised youu didn't (I let DS2 pop them, when he's with me and we're not dreaming of racing between pokestops on a bus, though.)

QueenLizIII · 26/09/2016 21:40

Bubbles after you spin the pokestop. They contain the items

Evening!

Had a mediocre day today, only good thing was a vulpix hatch, it's not a new one but only caught 1 before so that really helped with candy.

I'm only on 6/10k on my one and only 10k egg - getting impatient but no time to go walking other than to and from the bus stop. Be the weekend before I crack it I think.

What's this about bubbles? I see no bubbles?

Found an amazing soft play yesterday - 35 Pokemon in the 4 hrs I was sat there, unfortunately the pokestop was just out of reach but hey can't have everything!!!

Natsku · 26/09/2016 20:07

Clearly I need to go to London again and this time actually do some pokemon hunting instead of getting distracted!

Natsku · 26/09/2016 20:06

Caught a lot of the usual crap lately so I can do some evolves with a lucky egg (haven't been bothering to catch them for the last few weeks) but nothing new. Still really far off getting a gyrados.

PickAChew · 26/09/2016 20:01

I don't get any choice to avoid the weather. 4k of school run every bloody weekday!

Ds1 was suitably amused by the lickitung I caught in the garden across the road, this afternoon. Not his first, but the novelty of that one will never wear off!
