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...

Nameless, that's pokestop heaven. Grin Good luck for a Tauros too. :)

tumpy, in addition to the Kabutops I'm still walking candy for I only need Tangela and Aerodactyl. I saw an Aerodactyl about two weeks after starting to play, but it poofed, and I've never seen even the shadow of one since. I have a ton of 5k eggs and one 10k, so I'm crossing fingers. However, I'm also missing only one of the babies, but that's also a 10k. Hmm

PickAChew, you're going to hate me. I had to go to South Shields this afternoon so walked down past the parks before picking up the E1 just on the off-chance of a Kabuto, and I got one! I also managed to catch it for each of the kids too. Now I only need three more candies for my Kabutops, so might have that by Friday. Yay! :)

Oh, forgot to say that my DH finally got his first Ditto when we were out on Sunday as well, it was a Magikarp which DS caught for him when we were in the car. :)

I caught my second ditto today.. Only caught pidgey as bag was full..Second one I caught without my DS been here.. He will be annoyed.

blueskyinmarch · 17/01/2017 12:43

I now only need an Aerodactyl to complete the original Pokedex. I have never even seen a shadow of one and i have no 10km eggs at the moment. It is so dull now.

Its nearly DD's birthday, the Pikachu soft toy I ordered her just arrived, she is going to love it Grin and if she doesn't I can just nick it

tumpymummy · 17/01/2017 12:34

nameless i hope you do manage to get some pokemoning in. In the evening? When we went to the US last summer unfortunately i didnt have data so had to rely on wifi. But i still managed to get a Tauros and a snorlax. Also found a lot of rare things here were common over there like growlithe, ekans and sandshrew.

cantstand I've wondered that too when battling gyms, but have never tried it out. Maybe i'll give it a go when out later.

NamelessEnsign · 17/01/2017 12:04

But look at all of this on my doorstep! I really hope I get a bit of free time and a working phone!

Hi all, I'm still missing all sorts, but I have enough candy to evolve Golem and something else I have been working on, and nearly there with Kadabra. I might give up on catching high IV mon for the last few evolves because I hardly get the chance to battle anyway!

I am in the US this week, with data. Hoping to get some chance to play. It is very busy with work and for some reason the GPS keeps glitchinh out so I can't play much off wifi! Grrr.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 17/01/2017 08:46

Magnemite. Duodo. Bellsprout now out of eggs

I just caught a Growlithe in bed Mackem I see one every 2-3 days at least but this was the first one at home. On the other hand I still only have one baby and still no Snorlax. I've only ever seen one Onyx in the wild.

MuddlingMackem · 16/01/2017 23:15

I know that Growlithe isn't common, but I didn't realise it was possible to still not have seen one to at least attempt to catch. No wonder you were so annoyed.

tumpymummy · 16/01/2017 18:03

Haven't posted much as not playing so much now. Still log on every day and get my daily pokestops and catches, but until they launch generation 2 there's not much for me to do. I have completed Generation 1 apart from tangela and polygon, and they are proving far too illusive to worry about. I usually make sure I get a least 10 pokecoins a day from a gym, but since the special bulbasaur/charmeleon event there isn't much to get me excited now! I haven't got many babies, but since they are pretty useless doesn't seem much point in walking miles just to try and hatch them out of eggs.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 16/01/2017 17:16

Nidoran and Magby hatched today. Angry

Soubriquet · 16/01/2017 16:32

Very much so!

Especially since I've only ever seen a growlithe once and I couldn't find where he was in time either!

MuddlingMackem · 16/01/2017 16:31

Soubriquet, that sounds very frustrating.

Soubriquet · 16/01/2017 16:12

I saw my first Arcaine today

Bastard ran away after putting up so much of a fight we couldn't even get him in a ball Angry

MuddlingMackem · 16/01/2017 16:06

Galen, I run away from things a lot. I generally throw one ball at anything I see and if I don't catch it in one I walk away. That's just because I want the stardust to power my good stuff up though. I''ll go up to three balls if the candy would be useful. For anything I desperately need I'll keep going until I run out of balls or it runs away. Grin

TheOtherGalen · 16/01/2017 15:30

Hatched another Lickitung and finally managed to catch a Ditto! Also I somehow lost this thread for a few days and had to go hunting to find it again.

How often do you all run away from things? I'm finding myself running away more and more. Like, if I haven't caught that damn Pidgey with two or three balls, screw it.

eitak22 · 16/01/2017 15:24

Don't think im going to be on this thread much as used up far too much data.

Still no babies hatched and loads of gen 1 to get, clearly rubbish at this!

CantstandmLMs · 16/01/2017 13:22

Quick question: does using half CP Pokemon to take down an opposing gym also give your more prestige? It's not something I've thought about before Hmm

MuddlingMackem · 16/01/2017 12:53

CantstandmLMs, I'm hoping to complete the Gen 1 Eurodex before they release Gen 2, and I'm now soooo close. I'm hoping that the 10k egg I got at a pokestop today is an Aerodactyl and one of the umpteen 5ks is a Tangela, then I'm sorted. Grin Well, when I've walked for another 9 Kabuto candies anyway. Wink

I also only need one of the babies, but as that's also a 10k (Magby) I'm not holding my breath. :)

Dillite2 · 16/01/2017 09:45

This morning I kicked out a Togepi evolution out of a gym. It felt bad for kicking a baby out, but serves it right for addind to my seen list in pokedex.

I also hatched a meowth sigh

CantstandmLMs · 16/01/2017 09:44

Getting a bit bored now. Still have 3 babies to hatch but grinding eggs and getting the usual crap is starting to grate.

I finally evolved my venousaur and Charizard last night so that leaves hitmonchan and a dragonite and the babies.

Bring on Gen2 for the love of God!

MuddlingMackem · 15/01/2017 23:43

Totally agree, PickAChew, I won't be making a specific visit there again although, until the nests next change, if I'm heading to or from Shields I might catch the E1 rather than the 20/20A on the off-chance.

BumWad · 15/01/2017 23:22

Hello just checking in...

PickAChew · 15/01/2017 23:18

We must have hit the park at the wrong time of the hour, then, Mackem! Though, when a nest is that unproductive, I prefer it when it's a small detour from a regular haunt, like Newcastle civic centre, rather than a park in a place I haven't visited for 20 years!
