Pokemon Go #7. Is it Take A Chansey On Me or Hitmonlee With Your Rhythm Stick? You decide.

Cool! Where did you read that?

I have only ever seen sunkerns in two locations - both of them large parks. One was absolutely heaving with them. The other was more wooded and I saw two in total and caught one. So yeah, look for large areas of parkland.

Another two parks we've been to since gen2 came out had none though. I have neve seen any in my town.

I just read that there will be legendary pomemon later this year

You know how when you battle a gym you automatically get selected which six Pokemon to use.....? How accurate is the system at identifying which Pokemon to use?

I don't think it's that accurate but I use it anyway unless I'm having a problem. By the time I've worked out the optimum pokemon I might as well spend the time blasting through the pokemon in the gym. I think if you are a real expert and know all your Pokémons strength and weaknesses. It's a bit too complicated. My adult DC can do it quickly but they were raised on Pokémon so I think it's inbuilt.

I think my blasting through technique works better because I'm a high level so have a few strong Pokémon with over 3000 CP which can kill most things even if they aren't always a perfect match. I've two 3000+ rhyhorns and 3 3000 gyrodos and a 3000+ Dragonite. - all reasonable stats.

Love the cake with the hidden pokemon!!

Loving my Pokemon Go Plus too- no longer feel like I've constantly got my phone in hand. Especially now i've figured out how to set it so it only buzzes for pokestops, not pokemon- it was wasting my balls.

(And Ive found I hit all the poke stops while I'm driving now too!)

I got a crown! All it took was to hit just under 150 pokestops today (yes, I counted).

Ive never seen a sunkern.

I got another sunstone today though.

So jealous of you all with multiple special items. I have only had 1 metal coat. Got enough candies to evolve a Slowking, Porygon2, Bellossom, Sunkern, Scyther Seadra, it's all very frustrating!

Love the cakes! Well done talented bakers.
I just wanted to tell you all how much I love my Pokemon go plus! I went to a very swish restaurant for romantic dinner with DH. It was within reach of pokestop. All night I was able to surreptitiously play, stocking up on items and catching random mons. Ah, who said romance was dead? 😂

Great to see the cake pictures! Ours was fun to make. I just got lots of coloured icing from Tesco and then 5 of us spent the evening crafting the different Pokémon. The cake went down very well at the party today.

I think sometimes there is logic but there was an instance it should of picked electric types and didn't so I self selected them. It's annoying.

I've wondered that, too, Possum. If it's something I've never battled before and I have no idea what works best, I'll just go with whatever the game has already picked out for me, with mixed results. There's definitely some logic to it, though, because it often picks the same critter more than once if I have multiples with high enough CP.

I got a Porygon upgrade (I've only gotten three special items so far: two sun stones and the upgrade thingee) but don't have enough candy yet. As soon as Pineco finds the next candy, I'm switching my buddy to Porygon.

Thanks Niki - will try that next time.

It was a vaporean on my blissey..

Ah, Tynemouth, PickAChew. Other than combining it with the Snowdog trail, the only pokemonning I've done at Tynemouth is sitting on a bus as I'm passing through.

You know how when you battle a gym you automatically get selected which six Pokemon to use.....? How accurate is the system at identifying which Pokemon to use? Because I know it's more than just your highest CP and HP because some types are better against other types.

I went to battle a funny dinosaur thing earlier and it recommended a Flareon which is only about my 9th best Pokemon so I was a bit surprised. But went with it and defeated it quite easily.

Pokeball cake worked well!

What did you use to battle it with Niki?

3 new Pokémon for us today! Caught Chikorita, evolved a Sunflora, evolved a Nidoking. Got another sunstone - our third one. Much as I am happy to have items, something other than a sunstone would be great!

I put my Blissey in a gym and then trained the gym.

I defeated my own blissey fairly easily. So i have a shit one.

I've done a pokeball cake for DS's 9th today- but it isn't as professional looking as Pokecake's. It has got pokemon (plastic figures) hidden in it though- I'll post a pic after we cut it!

It's Tynemouth, mackem

It just disappears into the distance on the screen for ages, as you walk along it.

Cakes look too good to eat!

I recently gained Kings rock and metal coat so excited about that (pevious lucky egg did upgrade on Porygon) I can evolve a Slowking and Steelix on next egg and I'm like 2 candy's off walking my Chansey which has been painful!

Looking to finally do a lucky egg session today or tomorrow. I've been intending to for about a week but would then end up needing only so many candies for another new one, then when I'd got those I'd be close to another. I'm now at the point where I'm too far away from any more new ones to wait on them so will have to crack on. Also I now have three special items for gen 2 as I got my third randomly on Friday and as it's a second metal coat I now don't have to choose between a Steelix and a Scizor.

I'm also only about 45,000xp from level 31, so my lucky egg session should level me up too. :)

By the way, PickAChew, which pier is that? :)

Not as professional looking, but here's dd1's favourite a cake I made for her 7th birthday in January. She loves Krabby. It was one of the first Pokémon we caught last year and she guessed his name before we caught it, and since then it's her Pokémon. I have a lot of Krabby's that I am not allowed to transfer
