I started using FPM last week and had some great catches with it, especially when I could nip out of the office for 10 mins on a break to grab something specific nearby. Very disappointed to see it go.

In other news, my latest 10k egg spawned an electrobuzz which was nice.

Ive never used fastpokemap as I didnt know about it. Havent had too muhc trouble finding them. if they show up then great, if not, there is always next time.

I was so proud of myself when I managed to knock 2 lapras out of a rival gym, only to check and see that those spots have been filled by fucking Snorlax's. That makes it 4 of the fat bastards in a row. FML.

We went for a walk today and hatched some eggs, nothing good but good for candy- I only need 5 more candies to get a Machamp now. We kept catching loads of of pokemon so I thought it would be great to set a lure and a lucky egg off. Like fuck it was- only 5 pokemon appeared in that time! What a sodding waste. Still, we did catch 100 pokemon overall today. Most of which have been sent to become sausages.

I took a rival L10 gym down to 9 just for a laugh while waiting for Machop to spawn then told a Valor player I was chatting to that there was a slot if he needed it.

I need to spend some time tomorrow honing my prestiging skills. I've been sorting my Pokemon out by type and re-labelling them. I also have a few I need to send to the professor but will chuck through a gym first as he doesn't mind them fainted. It seems my 7 gyms are fairly secure; just need another 3 high level ones to get in.

tumpymummy · 05/11/2016 18:20

bumwad I have to admit I seldom power up before I evolve, I usually do it afterwards. Even when you evolve the IV can change by 1 or 2 too. Don't know enough about them to explain why I'm afraid.

tumpymummy · 05/11/2016 18:17

doctor I made the battery pack error today too. Spent a while in the freezing cold levelling up a friendly gym. Finally made it and my phone battery died before I could assign my poke. Car was parked streets away. I haven't run so fast in ages. Luckily I had a charger in the car. Then had to drive back as quick as I could, look for a parking space near the gym and take a gamble on how much charge was needed in my phone before I could leave the car. Luckily I was in a different town to where I live and no one grabbed my spot. I was so relieved! First world problems!

DoctorTwo · 05/11/2016 17:45

Forgot to take my battery pack with me. Beginners error, I know. Caught the usual shite, a Mr Mime with rubbish CP that took 8 balls Angry and just before the battery died a CP398 Jigglypuff, the first of those since about the middle of September.

Car news: it appears that a £13 bottle of K-Seal has fixed my K=Series head gasket. The heater's chucking out more hot air than Donald Trump. I'm going to chuck a half litre of anti freeze into the expansion tank in the morning and monitor it for the next week or so to make sure I have fixed it.

Oooh muddling that advert is way cool

FrogTime · 05/11/2016 17:34

The spawn point across the road from my house is now 2 doors down on my did of the road. Winner!
Spawned a vulpix earlier but the bugger ran away after 1 ball. Would have saved me the 9km I'm working on now Sad
Got 2 10km eggs cooking at the mo, fingers crossed for something lapras shaped! Only ever seen a shadow.

Only used FPM once and it got me my hitmonlee. Was about to start using it more! Definately gave the game a bit of excitement especially with the countdown to catch them!

miserablemoo · 05/11/2016 17:14

Hi
I got a wild lapras in my front room about two weeks ago. It was a 1500 one as well. my ds had no balls left so couldn't get it for him.

MuddlingMackem · 05/11/2016 17:04

Do you think Niantic are killing off Fast Pokemap because they're going to introduce the directions stuff that's in this advert?

Especially if they've said they're going to introduce trades.
JellyWitch · 05/11/2016 16:46

Horokania - lots of reports of spawn point changes. Coupled with Niantic finally killing off fast poke map it's making to hard to play this game. :(

Wondering in circles for hours gets wearing very quickly.

horokania · 05/11/2016 16:33

Afternoon all, de-lurking to ask if anyone's noticed a change in spawning locations. Normally I get around 4 Pokemon an hour appearing at my house but this seems to have changed to only 1 am hour from midnight last night (sob sob). Has anyone heard anything about Niantic migrating spawning locations?

DeleteOrDecay · 05/11/2016 16:26

Caught a Mr Mime today, but used my last 3 balls so will have to wait until I'm near a pokestop before catching more.

JellyWitch · 05/11/2016 16:02

I caught my Lapras in the wild - it was 1650CP so I was really pleased!! I hatched hitmonlee and hitmonchan; never seen them wild. Chansey is the one I can't pin down!

Had a lovely morning catching Machop and Eevee. There are definitely more diverse ranges of Pokemon about. Enjoying it!

GreenShadow · 05/11/2016 15:43

Any one else seem to be finding it easier to catch them today? I've caught about 7 (nothing particularly interesting among them) and all but one only took one ball. Maybe last night's changes have helped?

QueenLizIII · 05/11/2016 14:18

my Lapras' were both August babies. one from a 10k egg and another caught wild.

never seen another.

DoctorTwo · 05/11/2016 14:02

No sodding internet at home atm as the only transmitter my 4G dongle picks up has packed up, so am updating from the car. My 10k egg hatched a Jynx, meh, caught loads of 'em. Seen nothing new for days, not even shadows.

nuttelladreams · 05/11/2016 12:51

Blimey. Catching a lapras in bed would probably be the most exciting thing that's happened in there in ages GrinGrinGrinGrin

Whereabouts in the U.K. are you?

devilinmyshoes · 05/11/2016 12:31

In bed! I don't usually play there (I mean not with Pokémon 😃) but I was just checking something and there it was! I think I used up my stash of ultra balls.

nuttelladreams · 05/11/2016 12:24

Awesome devil! Where did you catch it? I'm hoping if the spawns are better I might have a chance to find something new especially in London. Otherwise it's a long wait until the second gen comes out and I don't think I can keep myself interested!

devilinmyshoes · 05/11/2016 12:17

I caught an amazing lapras! Amazing to me because almost all mine are shit. I think I powered her (him?) up.

Well I have just discovered something.

Been powering up my Dragonair before I evolve it thinking I will get a better Dragonite.

However look at my IVs. It was higher pre powering up!! Confused
