And we only hit one pokestop, today - the pokeball roundabout in hartlepool. Got the try again later message, unfortunately for DS1, who is out of pokeballs.

DS2 is off school for the next 2 days because of the local TA strike, so we might get a few, together, on the bus, and make DS1 happy.

All seem to be bloody vermin, mind.

PickAChew · 07/11/2016 23:27

OK, so after dropping down to 2 spawns per hour, we now seem to have loads of new ones. Have yet to work out which are reliable.

I've still got three of the four lucky eggs I've got from levelling up, so no rush for more as I won't be doing evolving sessions that often just yet. I won't be using a second until I have enough candy to evolve an Abra to an Alakazam. Might need to buy some in the future though. I can't see me getting many coins as I can't see me being in many gyms.

nuttelladreams · 07/11/2016 22:57

I bought 8 eggs with the intention to use 2 per level from 25 to 29 when I think I get some more. I've got 4 left so am within budget. It feels impossible to level up without them so in my view they are totally first priority.

Starlight2345 · 07/11/2016 22:53

I bought incubator first, then lucky egg and just bought more storage.. Now I have levelled up may well go for another lucky egg so the next level doesn't seem so far away.

nuttelladreams · 07/11/2016 22:48

I too see the coins as the main reason for bothering with gyms.
I've bought 8 lucky eggs and increased storage, and a few incubators here and there (despite my better judgement).

MuddlingMackem · 07/11/2016 22:41

My target is 400 coins ultimately, extra bag storage and extra pokemon storage, hence getting into gyms. DD I think just likes the idea of being in a gym and having pokecoins, don't think she's actually thought that far ahead. :)

IhatchedaSnorlax · 07/11/2016 22:39

My DS got all our usual pokestops today whilst I was driving - I was going just under 30mph in a 30 zone, so either it's not changed for us or works if you're travelling at less than 30mph.

dementedpixie · 07/11/2016 22:09

Ds and I are still in 3 gyms and have been for a few days now. Don't know what to spend my coins on.

MuddlingMackem · 07/11/2016 22:00

Yay! I managed to hang on in the first gym and got my candies. Doubt I'll still be there in another 21 hours though. Grin Although hope DD and I are still in in the morning so she can get her coins. :)

JellyWitch · 07/11/2016 21:49

I know I'm spoiled. Taking my London trained Pokemon into the Home Counties! So long as I don't have to retake them every day - that would get boring!

That said, only a few more to go and I am winding down. If my son will let me (he wants me to save candy for gen 2).

nuttelladreams · 07/11/2016 21:44

Jelly you've been spoilt with all these gyms. Hopefully it won't be the end for you.
I'm happy if I cash in on 3 per day.

Starlight2345 · 07/11/2016 21:23

Levelled up..Just got an Abra.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 07/11/2016 21:10

I'm finding the drop rate from pokestops has doubled. If those using cars (passengers) slow by the stops it's all bumper!

QueenLizIII · 07/11/2016 21:04

I hatched a machop today. Now up to 78 candies. only need 22 to evolve machoke.

Starlight2345 · 07/11/2016 20:53

Got a paras just 29 xp needed.

SailingThroughTime · 07/11/2016 20:51

I used an incense.
2 bloody Pokemon and one of those was my regular 10 past Pokemon.

NOBODY do an incense pun Angry

JellyWitch · 07/11/2016 20:49

I just don't understand why you don't need the same points for levelling up prestige as for taking a gym down - that would make most sense!

I'm still in 3 L10s (2 of which are difficult due to access and/or bad internet connection), one L8 (which I clearly wasted time levelling up yesterday) and a couple of 6s which I am having to maintain so as not to drop off the bottom of. 1 more I will lose tomorrow but i have one to take back first thing (not sure how long it will last though in the new climate - I may just have to get used to having fewer coins coming in and therefore fewer incubators).

Maybe we will see an end to the dragonite towers in London though?

Starlight2345 · 07/11/2016 20:43

I have 10 hours till I can claim again on my gym...Hoping that the cold will keep people away.. I just popped myself on today.. no battling needed.

I need 139 XP to level up..just caught Mr Mine in lounge.. Hoping something else comes to visit.

I had a ponyta nearby I only need 2 candies to evolve and currently my buddy but DS was in bed.

BumWad · 07/11/2016 20:34

I've been kicked out of the final 2 gyms I was in so now I'm in none.

I've just been catching up on Reddit. Good for quick gym changeovers, not so good if you want to sit pretty in a hard won L10!

nuttelladreams · 07/11/2016 20:13

I think it's part of the changes which started today- the bonus, the pokestop thing and the gym.

I suppose it's good if you can take down other gyms and it will generate more play rather than have gyms being held by the same team for ages.

JellyWitch · 07/11/2016 20:05

When did the prestige change? I thought it was a bit crap today but blamed it on a bad match of Pokemon, whereas yesterday I was getting 2k points powering through 7 levels.
