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

Don't lose hope starlight, I found a wild dragonite at my local tram stop. Took approx 50 ultra balls. The family (well,DH) was not impressed.

Apart from I do need a chancey. I am really pleased about the buddy. My dratini is my buddy and only on 53 candy so a long way to go..

Oh and hitmonchan...always forget about her! Never seen her. Not even her shadow.

So excited about double buddy candy and Chansey!

Please tell me lickitung counts as a pink Pokémon! Maybe not adorable, but seems fairly appropriate for Valentine's Day... 😏
Just need that, a lapras, and a smoochum then I'm gen 1 done! Woohoo!

Ah I wondered why I suddenly had lots of candy when I hatched a Goldeen earlier.

DS1 will be excited to evolve it when he gets in. :)

Better see if we can transfer any too. ..

I don't give a crisp about pink Pokemon the ones I need are not pink....but sOOOOOO happy about double candy. I've increased my storage!

Really, they wait to increase the candy until I only need four more Togepi candies. Bah! I've walked it up from 22 to 46!

On the plus side, I might get a second Chansey ready for gen 2, and the kids still need their first.

Eating If only Tangelas were pink - that was my first thought too! And then the damn about walking the candy. Although I was planning to walk Scyther next ready for gen 2, and he's 5k per candy as well, so maybe good timing after all. :)

I only need to walk the dragonair 100km now! Hopefully I'll catch a couple too. If only tangelas were pink

Yay - hopefully DS will finally stop moaning about my Chansey that hatched on Christmas eve if he catches one himself. I bet we just get our usual houseful of Jigglypuffs though.

Oy and I just did a giant slew of transfers after a mass evolve yesterday!

But, hooray! Maybe I'll get that Smoochum after all!

ooh!

Trainers,

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we couldn’t think of a sweeter time to double the amount of Candy you’ll earn every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokémon. Your Buddy Pokémon is also getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit and will find Candy twice as fast!

Throughout the celebration, you’ll notice that Chansey, Clefable, and many other adorable pink Pokémon will be encountered more frequently in the wild. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will also be more likely to hatch from Eggs. And to help you paint your town pink this Valentine’s Day, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire duration of the event.

This limited-time celebration will only be available from 11:00 A.M. PST on February 8, 2017, to 11:00 A.M. PST on February 15, 2017, so grab your valentine, get out, and explore the world around you!

I wish gen 2 would come out now. All I need for the original dex is dragonite and tangela.

I've got a child free afternoon. It's drizzling but tempted to head out to St Albans and walk the length of the high street and back- so many poke stops!

I caught an onyx in lounge on saturday and a Growthe was sat in my lounge when I turned my phone on the morning, caught a gloom on the way to school and then ds caught snorlax when we went out in car to get a pokestop .. It was only 789 CP but still nice to add to our other one so it doesn't get lonely.

I agree that I've seen more rare/evolved Pokemon about recently. Caught an Omastar and Arcanine at work today. Never seen as much as a shadow of them before, can count on one hand the times I've seen Omanyte and Growlithe to be honest. Caught a Magmar for the first time on Saturday and then caught 2 more on Sunday. Evolved my Ekans today and found Doduo and Eggsecute spawns at the weekend. Up to 115 caught in the Pokedex including 3 babies, so still quite a few to go.

53rdAndBird, nice luck there!

Funny you should say that about the rarer stuff being out there more, I've seen more Rhyhorns, Vulpix, Ekans and a couple of others I can't think of recently than usual. Also seem to be seeing Haunters, and other than the Halloween event I don't think I've seen them in the wild.

Still never seen or hatched a Tangela though, yet I've seen and caught four Porygons and at least one Hitmonlee. Looks like I may need to travel further afield. :)

I'm now on 46 Togepi candy, so as soon as I've got enough coins for a upgrade to my pokemon storage I'll be doing a lucky egg session.

I finally got a Lickitung! Really by chance as well - pulled my phone out of my pocket to check bus times, didn't realise PoGo was still running, and saw the shadow on Nearby just as I quit the app. Restarted and legged it there to catch him. So now I'm just waiting for a Lapras and a Porygon from Gen 1, which I'm not holding out hope for but you never know...

Anyone else noticed it seems like there's more rare Pokemon/evolved Pokemon around recently? I've caught several Aerodactyls and Hitmonlees in the past few weeks.

Ok I just left my rhydon in a gym at my train station, is it a bit sad that I said goodbye and told him to be good!

Also hatched a Togepi today. YAY!

Cute.

Hate spoofers. Spoils it.

I literally have NO IDEA how to gym. DS randomly battles in one when we go to the pub for Sunday Roast but since he's 6 he's no idea what he's doing either!

I literally drive past one in the arse end of nowhere and throw one in if it's grey, once every few days. And collect coins.

My local gyms are being spoofed. Normally they're team Mystic with a regular core of visitors, but they're currently being spoofed by a cluster of Valours with high levels and repetitive names (Dishyfella, Dishyfella2). I went to reclaim a L3 gym this morning and before I'd revived my pokemon to put in the gym it was back to L3 Valour again. No one in sight. Its in a wood, so unless 3 people were hiding under a holly bush, there was no one there within range of the gym.

I've tried to fill in the report form but it asks for a value and I can't work out what goes in there.

Grr!

Ours ok on school run. .. (DC happy that we caught a polliwag)

Going to nearest town today - hoping to find some pokestops as I've only 4 balls. :(

Anyone else's Pokemon down today?

Couldn't load mine

No idea about the egg drop as I only ever now hatch one at a time.

Pokecoins went up after Christmas. Niantic are getting greedy!
