Pokemon Go #6: Where pokemon babies are abandoned in gyms at freezing temperatures

Well, saw this little one left overnight in a gym. Sad, really... Where are his parents? What were they thinking? Do they work night shifts too?

So many questions...

Ok just checked it and I'm definitely not getting xp for escaping Pokémon

Shellder · 21/01/2017 17:40

I've changed my incubator strategy, I'm only using the infinity and the occasional single use for a 10k. I had a phase of having 9 on the go. I'm level 30 and just need Magby (plus regionals). I'm still enjoying the game but Gen 2 proper is a much needed release to up my interest again.

MuddlingMackem · 21/01/2017 17:22

Oh, forgot to say I hatched my latest 10k egg today, an Onix. Not something I still needed, but the candy will be handy when gen 2 is released.

MuddlingMackem · 21/01/2017 17:21

I'm sure I was yesterday, jennielou75, I haven't noticed today but I wasn't out for long.

I seem to have hit the point so many of you have mentioned, and which I thought I wouldn't because I can hit a load of pokestops a day. Yup, I've done so much gym fighting I've run out of revives and I'm really, really low on potions. Shock Well, I do have ten revives after hitting all of those nearby pokestops, but I did go down to five. Guess no more coins for me for a week or so until I stock up, unless I miraculously stay in any of the ones I'm in at the moment.

jennielou75 · 21/01/2017 16:38

We don't seem to be getting Xp for Pokémon that run away any more.

CantstandmLMs · 21/01/2017 14:01

Pidgeyfinder what's the info? I'd be interested in this.

I've just spent all my extra candy and stardust powering up my Venosaur, Charizard and Blastoise as they all have good movesets and IVs. My Venosaur is over 2k and my Charizard and Blastoise both sitting just under. Can't wait to use them more in battle.

and caught an amazing view of the cloud sitting in the valley below, with the church spire just poking up through it. I can't remember seeing a temperature inversion before

I used to see that kind of view regularly when I was in Canterbury and would be walking up the hill to the University for work at 6 in the morning and many mornings there would be clouds lying over the city with the Cathedral poking up out while it was clear up on on the hill. Absolutely beautiful.

jennielou75 · 21/01/2017 09:01

My walking doesn't seem to be registering at all at the moment!

Dillite2 · 21/01/2017 00:07

I had a double lucky egg session which gave me approximately 180k xp- only 150k to go until level 30 now. I also added a dutrio, an omaster, a charizard and golem to my pokedex- at 138 caught now. I created an army of the walking dead cannon fodder to use up on tomorrow's gym battles.

I am pretty sure that I have discovered a cheater- he has several level 30-35 accounts and uses the same username on them all, only with random letters capitalized. I took down a level 8 gym today and he had 3 monster pokemon in it, 2 of them were 3000cp dragonites. I then put my own snorlax in it, and whilst I was powering it up, I got kicked out and the same username was back in it only with a monster garyados. I was the only person in a 50m radius of that gym.

Also, I am so bloody bored of playing! It's all same old same old. Before my lucky egg session I had 2k pidgey candy- now I have none. That's how many fuckers I have been catching lately just to get the points.

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 20/01/2017 21:34

I managed to get the other three regionals yesterday from a Facebook page where vetted catchers take over your account and catch them for you. I was a bit Hmm about it at first but the two people I dealt with were fantastic and super quick.

DoctorTwo · 20/01/2017 18:17

I was unable to log in to the app today, all I got was "unable to authenticate; try again" all day. That was a pisser as today could've seen me get to Level 26. I'm just under 20k XP shy and today was day 7 for both streaks, so that's 5150XP I've been denied.

Never mind, I'm sure I'll level up over the weekend.

TallulahBetty · 20/01/2017 17:54

Hatched a fucking Rhydon Hmm did manage to limp towards level 24, so that's something.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 20/01/2017 17:23

I've had a lazy day. The spawns are uninspiring and tricky to get, and my eggs keep hatching the same range of pokemon I have no particular need from from 5k eggs (probably because all the local pokestops are in a cluster of a circular walk). DS had a parents morning at school so I had less time than normal. I did go to a few pokestops, and caught an amazing view of the cloud sitting in the valley below, with the church spire just poking up through it. I can't remember seeing a temperature inversion before (geography teacher, my kind of geekery!)

I had a good long run and played my zombies app instead. It was too quaggy in the fields to want my phone in my hand (plus data/ battery life)

JellyWitch · 20/01/2017 15:42

I haven't posted in ages here. I'm still playing: need to hatch/catch a Chansey and hatch a Togepi or 2. I need another 25 candy for a good Machamp, 10 more for a good Golem and 65 more for a dragonite, if I don't catch one first.

That's all to get everything currently available so doing very targeted London hunting, buddied with a dragonair and otherwise just keeping gyms ticking over for incubator coins and trying to get the daily/weekly bonuses and hoarding gen2 candy.

I'm L30 so the pressure to level up is off too and I'm happy to do that slowly.

eitak22 · 20/01/2017 15:31

Have switched my buddy out to magikarp which i must admit i find a bit creepy but want my gyrados.

Still no babies and the only hatch today was Eevee which i have all the evolutions of.

MrsGWay · 20/01/2017 15:25

I reached 100 in my pokedex today!

Natsku · 20/01/2017 14:58

Only walked 582k, have been really lazy about it since winter hit properly.

Wish they would release the rest of Gen 2 already!

Soubriquet · 20/01/2017 14:57

Oo wouldn't mind a baby! I don't have any of them

Or a ditto

CantstandmLMs · 20/01/2017 14:54

Soubriquet I don't believe the evolved forms of the babies are hatching anymore so you wouldn't get an Electabuzz but maybe an Electakid.

Speaking of. I finally hatched one today!!

I have all 5ks now 😒 so just live in wait of my next 10k. All I need is a Hitmonchan and a Magby or some bloody Dratini candies!!

Soubriquet · 20/01/2017 14:46

Wouldn't mind that either actually. Don't have one of them

I've got jynx, horsesea, polywog, shelldor, bellsprout, starmie,psyduck, squirtle, rattata and pidgey coming out of my ears though.

FeralBeryl · 20/01/2017 14:43

Soubriquet just hatched mine - another bastard Pinsir Sad

Soubriquet · 20/01/2017 14:29

I got my first 10km egg for a while today!

Hoping it hatches into something new and not the same crap I've already got

If it's an electrabuzz I will cry

Any of the following is ok:-
Lapras
Snorlax
Dragonite
Onyx
Chansey
Charizard
Hitmonlee
Scyther

FeralBeryl · 20/01/2017 14:28

Ah Spartacus Machop Grin

FrogTime · 20/01/2017 13:57

That's a rather large machop!

piknmixer · 20/01/2017 13:33

Can anyone spot the mistake?
I haven't edited any pokemon's name..,
