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...

co incidentally my DS caught a Omstar ( first one caught in the wild) when we went on a bulbasur hunt... now have enough to elolve a Ivysaur ... He also a caught a grimmer..

So a good day hunting.. Didn't actually walk anywhere so very little gained in mileage but back to the school run in the morning.

Lilaclily · 02/01/2017 19:58

Ooh I'm jealous of the omastar!

TheOtherGalen · 02/01/2017 19:56

Hatched an Igglypuff, yay!

My final 10k egg was an Onix. Sigh. I had nine eggs total and all the rest were crapola. Time to head back into town and stock up again.

I've never hatched so many eggs in so short a time. I'm probably in the best shape of my life just from fucking walking so much every day!

Igneococcus · 02/01/2017 19:39

Still no babies, hatched a blinking caterpie Angry

FrogTime · 02/01/2017 19:08

Hatched a Magby today! My first babymon ever and from a 10km egg. I havent even got a magmar!

Fingers crossed my next 10km egg is a smoochum Grin

ToadsforJustice · 02/01/2017 18:44

Hatched 5 eggs - no babies. Caught a Blastoise.

NamelessEnsign · 02/01/2017 18:43

Look what I caught today though - I have never seen one so didn't even recognise it on the radar! I don't even have an omanyte. Was pleased to pick it up (two ultras).

I am very very low on balls Grin.

galen thank you for the tips - I must turn off Bluetooth and wifi next time to try it. Dame it's nice to have somewhere to start, thank you!

I'm going to NY in a few weeks so it will be cold which will kill my battery. I'm hoping to take a portable charger with me, not least so I don't get lost!

QueenLizIII · 02/01/2017 18:35

I hatched 3 2k eggs today.

Bulbasaur
Charmander
Geodude

I would be happy with the first two if they weren't everywhere right now. Peed off at the Geodude.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 02/01/2017 18:32

possum the time they're picked up determines what they are so as you picked up during the event they'll have the same chance of babies as during event.
I've hatched so many eggs for this with mixed results. Hoping my 2k is Cleffa. I really want a Cleffa!

Shellder · 02/01/2017 18:29

I've hatched a Togepi Smile and made him my buddy, so so cute as a buddy, my avatar is carrying him Smile

PossumInAPearTree · 02/01/2017 18:29

Have we got to hatch the eggs out before the event finishes? I have nine eggs left to hatch and I got these from different pokestops than normal so maybe I will get something?

Icouldbeknitting · 02/01/2017 18:17

Snap - I hatched nine today and none were remotely interesting. I don't get out much and all my eggs come from the same dozen stops so I'm assuming that's what my problem is. I did pick up a 10km egg this morning which has a little bit left on it so maybe I'll have a moment of excitement tomorrow.

PossumInAPearTree · 02/01/2017 18:12

Oh and I still have no babies! Walked 9 miles today and hatched out six eggs!

PossumInAPearTree · 02/01/2017 18:11

Is tomorrow the last day of the event?

I need more candys for evolving bulbasaurs and charmanders.....a lot more candy. And sadly I'm at work today.

Caught a wild wartotle today and also saw a wild blastoise but it disappeared as I clicked on it.

LBOCS2 · 02/01/2017 18:09

I've hatched six eggs in the last two days. They were a psyduck, a goldeen, a bellsprout, a growlithe, a magnemite and a seel. FFS. I want poke-babies!

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 02/01/2017 17:57

Caterpie and another Magby today.

Went out today and got a load of charmander and bulbasaur though my balls are running low and the fuckers keep escaping. I also bagged an 850CP abra with one ball!

DH is getting annoyed with me pokemoning everywhere too :(

DameDeDoubtance · 02/01/2017 17:36

Nameless This is a beast of a charger! It's about the same size as a phone and will recharge my LG G5 about 3 times.

I also have this charger which is much smaller and will recharge a phone once.

DameDeDoubtance · 02/01/2017 17:31

Hatched a Togepi and caught a Hirmonlee, both new for me! The Startermon are so hard to catch and kept running away which was frustrating but all in all a good day. Off for a walk round town later to stock up on poke balls. I won't get enough Startermon to evolve but each one I catch is potentially worth 4 candy so saves me 12k of walking!

Lilaclily · 02/01/2017 16:58

Haven't hatched any babies

Have caught loads of charmander, squirtles and festive pikachu, have got a festive raichu but not a normal one yet

eitak22 · 02/01/2017 16:57

Went for a walk and all i caught were ridiculously hard to catch base pokemon so am now low on pokeballs as despite making great hits they kept escaping.

Hateched a 10k which was a Scyther which i didn't have so thats great also hatched a Growlithe so closer to evolving it. Still no babies but hoping my 5ks im currently hatching will feature some.

TheOtherGalen · 02/01/2017 16:26

NamelessEnsign I was having major battery issues on my walks recently, too. (Am also on iPhone.) I found that if I close out all other apps, turn off wifi, and turn off bluetooth, that helps a bunch! I also keep music turned off on the game. I don't bother with the game's battery saver option, though.

That said, I, too, am looking into a battery backup. In a perfect world, there would be something that would convert the heat you generate from walking into battery power. From what I can tell, the wearable solar ones are really expensive as well as slow and unreliable.

Natsku · 02/01/2017 16:21

Hatched my first baby today - a Cleffa. So adorable! Have got several 5k eggs on the go that I got from the same pokestop so hoping they'll have some babies in them too. Did one of the hour long lure sessions at the library while I read a book, was pleasant but only got a couple of the starter 'mon.

NamelessEnsign · 02/01/2017 15:45

I went to a park in Oxford today and I finally get what Pokémon is supposed to be like! There was a Sandshrew nest as well as Charmander and I landed this splendid chap (and as you can see I am nowhere near with candies). Hatched a Growlithe so am a bit nearer with candy, but my blasted iPhone battery quickly went from 100% to 6% in the cold.

What's the best mobile battery for iPhone?
