Pokemon Go #3 The Cubone's connected to your...

I've been including gyms for the last 2-3 weeks and am learning my way! Here's how I understand it for others who are just starting in gyms.

I'm Mystic. Suppose I see a Mystic gym which is level 3. That means there are 3 Mystic Pokémon in it. I can go in and fight one (or more). I'm not actually harming the occupying Pokémon- They return to full health. Mine have to be Revived and healed with Potions. The status of the gym increases, and once it's got up to 4, I can put one of my critters in it. Then I can collect 10 coins from the Shop.

If it's held by another gym, I can fight an occupier and if I win that Pokémon is thrown out - it returns to its owner, in a battered state. The level of the gym goes down by 1. If it goes to 0 the gym goes grey and I can put in a Pokémon to claim it for Mystic. At that point it's very vulnerable and I wish I had a crowd to go out with and establish a real presence!

Yay hatched a ponyta from one of my 5k eggs today. I have been tempted for ages to have it at my buddy but I had a really low cp one, was my first rarer catch in the game aages ago, but now I have a decent cp one and enough candies to evolve!!

Also hatched an voltorb which brings me 6 candies away from evolving. Not quite as excited by this one. Off into town for a little while tomorrow hopefully I can re-stock on balls as I'm down to 3 and maybe one or two new ones will see. I'm also so close to level 22! Up to 28 candies for dragonair slow, but progress!

Edna am also getting close to level 22 and gym naive, have been in a few but so far always lost and left with dead Pokémon- feel like am only playing about 30% of the game by catching and hatching! Still having fun though 😃

I've walked 25k this wekend but now have a Gyarados and a Slowbro, I'm really enjoying this special event.

On the egg hatch front: weedle, x2 ratatta, x2 caterpie, ekans, x2 oddish, x2 bellsprout, x2 chansey, x3 magikarp, nidoran.

I'm walking a sandshrew and hope to walk my tentacool and ponyta if I don't run out of time.

I have enough candy to evolve the Omanyte - should I? Not sure I'll ever see another?!

I've never done anything in a gym btw - I have no clue how it works!

Hi - never posted in here before but love reading about all your catches! I've had an epic 2 days. I'm level 21 but have made great headway to 22 due to the Halloween special. I have about a million Meowth and Drowsee I'm sick of the sight of them!

I've had 2 10k eggs in the past couple of days too. I hatched an Omanyte and a Scyther from them. I've just been lucky to get out walking a lot - I don't usually. I won't be able to do anything tmoz so I'm considering a lucky egg and a mass evolve tonight. Bit gutted I can't get out (2 small kids) with pikachu while it's only .25 for a candy.

I now have a Raichu in my pokedex because someone in one of the gyms near here has one in there. I've never even seen a Pikachu!

Holding a gym atm. Took a level 5 out by myself. My wrist hurts.

Lots of Halloween Pokemon and a Charmander which was exciting. First I've seen since I picked him as my starter. Seems to be far more Pokemon around?

A 5k egg just hatched a Drowzee

Just checking in
Nothing new for me for ages. Loving the extra candies!

Took DD out on a Pokewalk today and then did some for myself. Hatched two 2k eggs (for a Pidgey and a Zubat!) and a 10k gave me a second Pinser, but at 1100CP compared to 800CP I'm not complaining at the duplication. :)

Then I did a bus journey into town and back to stock up at Pokestops. LOL!

That pumpkin is awesome!

dill I've told DH to add it to the Xmas list! Thank you

Yes you can, Magicarp. I may have ordered one for myself as well.

demented your pumpkin is amazing! I am very jealous. Sadly where we live now pumpkins get smashed by people, so we haven't bothered carving one. I feel quite sad walking past all these smashed up pumpkins that have taken someone ages to carve.

I did that pumpkin too demented nearly broke my heart and my fingers but our postie said it was the best one she'd seen so it was obv worth it!

Look I've caught a pikachu

Comedy factor is enough!

I just got to 50 candies for Omanyte

Who now?!

I let him have it. I'll get him later.

i did screen shot when it went back up so I knew who he was.

I am not going to hit any pokestops until I clear these decks. with 9 egg spaces free I may get a 10k.

Love itdill
wonders if I can get an adult size

I hatched my 5th scyther from my last 10k egg. Got another on the go now. Hoping for a snorlax. Or an aerodactyl. Or just something new I suppose.

I levelled up to 27 yesterday without using a lucky egg. This Halloween even has been great though I wish there were more normal Pokemon about. If I can get them by tomorrow I only need two more magikarp for a second gyarados.

Meant to mention: I hatched another pinsir (so that's 2 from 10k eggs this event) and then a Hitmonchan (my first). Not great for double candy as it doesn't evolve yet and is useless in gyms but still good for the pokedex.

What did you do Queen Liz? Start fighting back to level up?

I find it very awkward stumbling across the opposing teams, especially if they were to ever link me to my username. I have taken to leaving some gyms that change hands regularly grey, so that I don't get all the blame and attract retaliation on my gyms!

I just caught someone in the act battling my gym.

it is a remote gym. lone teen with a phone staring intently while gym behind him comes down rung by rung

Nutella - must be something in the air as we bailed out on London zoo after my friend cancelled.

I have nearly cleaned myself out of revives this morning, boosting up two of my gyms a bit to compensate for some attacks this week. I took down a L3 gym too but was kicked out in under 10 mins before I could claim. So I went back to the one I did yesterday - it was L7 again! And its neighbour was L6 (same team). I took them both (my charizards are stars against eggsecutor) - left a 10CP one in each.

I've just ordered dd a pokeball tshirt where the pokeball looks like a deathstar.

Whilst I was pokemoning, a wild pikachu appeared.
