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

I swear the game is eating up more pokeballs now with so many taking multiple balls to catch.

Ohhh thank you MagikarpetRide (love the name btw!
Will have to hope for some 'foreign' eggs

Trip to London zoo has been scrapped as dd has stinking cold which she has given to both of us so we will probably just go to a local park.

I picked up a 10k egg from a church and another one from green park- both yesterday which is unusual. I really hope something decent comes from them. 7 eggs hatched yesterday and only useful stuff was the belsprout. So annoying.

Been kicked out of the two local gyms in the night. Thought I would go for a walk with DS just now but look what is in my bag! 4 Hyper Potions only! There are only 2 local pokestops.

sorry for spelling your name completely wrong

talullah apparently its where you get the eggs that decide what's in them, not where you hatch them.

EarlGrey what is the 'ferry trick'?

Also, is there any truth in the theory that going to a different place will hatch something different? Sick of walking miles and miles to and from work and only ever hatching the same old crap- weedles, rattatas, spearows. Someone told me that if you 'save' the hatching for somewhere you don't usually go, you get different 'Mons - any truth to this?!

Oops , sorry about all the typos

I usually change the the lineup for gyms. There are a lot of water types around here so I love fighting with my team of volteons. They are high CP but not as high as other Pokemon I have so don't tend to get picked automatically. The are good because they are really quick and even if they are against great big huge snorlax's can dodge big attacks.
I'm it knowledgeable about the pokemon to know the best switches. I need the kids to do that.

Do you not just change the line up that's picked for the gyms? I always seem to have to. I like having a two with a high special attack then one with a high hp knowing my first three will probably take care of the first two/three Pokemon in the gym.

Managed to walk 2km last night without leaving the house found a few spots where she just walks, I've found each update has changed the place in my house that she will walk for some reason. Also decided incubators are the best route to go down, got two 5k eggs cooking hopefully I will get some decent candies inside. My recent 2k eggs were pretty rubbish though, two ratattas, and two zubats, kept saying to myself at least I've got double candies for next evolve session

Additional Drowsee are not needed here. That's all we get normally!

well I had no option but to do what seems to be the Halloween update. So ghastly, cubone, marowak, haunters, zubats and golbats and meowths endlessly for 3 days. Nothing else- well an odd drowsee.

I am hoping it reverts to normal on Tuesday.

I couldnt get one I wanted picked and started unfavouriting loads and they werent selected once I did that.

Furtyferret and JellyWitch

Thanks guys. I'm hoping that they may start to show up again after the Halloween event, I saw quite a few when collecting for the kids so I might get lucky next week. I've also seen a Tentacruel silhouette a couple of times the past few days, so hoping one of those will show up too. :)

I haven't found that favourites are picked for gyms. I find that it's the highest CP with very, very, very roughly the right type of Pokemon.

Just had a great lure session, I think the 'ferry trick' works for these too. We are staying in a holiday cottage with three pokestops within reach of the bedroom, but with no Pokémon seen in the house 2 days. Just put lures on the three stops and caught an amazing array of Pokémon including my first onix and machoke!

Oh really? I didn't think any of mine were favourited but maybe I did it by mistake. Will give it a try.

I used a lucky egg for a massive evolving session yesterday and racked up about 45,000 points which I was quite pleased with. Until I read this thread, I'd been evolving them as I went along, so have picked up some useful tips!

Aaah queenliz that makes sense! (About favourites being picked for gyms) Only problem is that I favourite all the ones I want to evolve. How do you keep track and evolve lots in one go otherwise?

I think I have noticed that only favourite pokemon are picked for gyms.

Favourite the ones you want to go in and unfavourite the rest.

I've hatched a few eggs in the last couple of days but nothing much of interest - mostly oddish and goldeens, though I do now have enough candy to evolve my gloom. Keeping my fingers crossed for my 10K egg.

Poor dratini is still chained to my side trying to get enough candy to evolve, but it's taking ages. I've only ever caught two.

I can't really get the hang of gyms. I've tried a few times but the game always seems to try and force me to use something inappropriate like a bellsprout and it's a pain to try and change them.

I don't even bother to catch Jynx any more. As common as pidgey but useless for anything but stardust. Would happily send you a 1000CP+ one if I could!

Oops, sorry Muddlin, they are everywhere round here, like rattatas, if I could I'd send you some.

Funny, I managed to get into 3 gyms this evening. Everyone must be out catching rather than fighting. It was good to use some of my potions!

Overall it has been a good day. Night ladies. And doctor

I am over 4 gyms first time ever..Cashed in over 3 now waiting for midday tomorrow to see if I can keep my 4 gyms.
