According to DS, who is an OG Pokemoner, the best opponent for Blissey is Alakazam followed by Pinsir. I havent tested this out yet but Blissey is appearing at my local gyms so I'll try tomorrow.

I've only got 5k eggs which is a bit frustrating. Mainly had gen 1 hatches I don't need. Although got my Politoad now due to hatching a Poliwag and candy.

Hoping the storm means my pokemon stays in the gym!

FreeNiki · 23/02/2017 18:16

I got a 10k egg which I haven't had for weeks. It has 800m left to go.

Dillite2 · 23/02/2017 17:18

I hatched 3 cubones today and a tentacool. It's a fucking insult, honestly.

spiderlight · 23/02/2017 16:31

DS just hatched a Lapras. So jealous!! We both caught a wild Ursaring though so that's cheered me up.

LadyR77 · 23/02/2017 11:53

I got my 7 day streak this morning, and no special items at all - so annoying!! Just have to keep hitting the stops in the vague hope of getting one eventually.

FreeNiki · 23/02/2017 10:59

I need 25 candies more for a blissey which will take ages to walk.

Then I can dominate the gyms Grin

My chancey has an HP of 348 itself so I wonder if it would do any good in its current state.

Igneococcus · 23/02/2017 09:06

Sign in works again, phew.
I have my 7 day streak tomorrow, I really hope for a special item.

Porygon · 23/02/2017 07:35

Still no sign of special items here, but I have had 4 10km eggs in the last week which is more than I've had in the last 6 months!

PossumInAPearTree · 23/02/2017 06:16

Dragonites or vaporeons are meant to be the best chance I think. I leave them for someone else to take out. If there's a few of you fighting it at the same time you'll have more chance. I'm desperate for a Blissey.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 22/02/2017 23:07

Arrgh! How do you beat a Blissey??? A trainer a few levels ahead has put a CP2600+ Blissey in. It's currently in position 1 out of two and I'm just timing out on it and getting no points for the gym or myself. My strongest ones are around CP2500.

I'm signing in via the trainer club, I hope they fix it soon.

BumWad · 22/02/2017 22:58

Igneoccocus - apparently some accounts are not working right now. I sigh in via google so mine is

loc · 22/02/2017 22:13

Thanks guys, I don't spend much on myself. And as mentioned up thread some way, it's a lot cheaper than a gym membership. Part of me wants to just not do it for a few days... but if I buy 24 hours mid day tomorrow I can continue my streak 2days for the price of one! Will see how the will power is tomorrow (and how exciting the shadows are when I'm on wifi!)! Actually, I could just have lunch in a cafe with a pokestop within reach and use the wifi. Sorted! (Don't mention the lunch will cost a lot more than the extra data)!

Starlight2345 · 22/02/2017 21:58

loc I ran out one month and paid for extra for that month...A friend said to me how much do actually do for yourself ..

Igneococcus · 22/02/2017 21:55

Is anybody else having problems to sign in, or is it just me?

MuddlingMackem · 22/02/2017 19:44

What you should do, loc, depends on how you pay for extra data. If you have to buy a wodge of data up front you may just have to go cold turkey, but if you just pay for what you use I suggest you switch off your data until you get to pokestop, whack it on for long enough to spin the pokestop and catch one pokemon and then switch it off again each day. LOL!

loc · 22/02/2017 19:13

Smart move doing that lucky egg mass evolve. I am so impatient! I could have been level 28, but no...😛
So I have a predicament, I have runout of data, 4days to go, and all I can think about is my 7 day steak, hatching eggs and missing out on new Pokémon. I grudge paying more when I already pay quite a lot on my monthly contract. But in the 3 hours since it ran out i can't stop thinking about it. My son asked me what I would say if he asked to spend money "for a game". What should I do? Cold turkey on principle, or just splash out.

I've been in a local gym, right at the bottom of the list, for three weeks now. It is in a wood, well defended by mud, inaccessible by car and with no streetlights. I knocked the defenders out and popped in my 34 point beastie just to claim the coins and it's still there.

Dillite2 · 22/02/2017 12:50

Our gyms have gone back to being active. It was so nice to have been in one for a week.

RueDeWakening · 21/02/2017 23:31

Upgrade evolves porygon, sunstone does Gloom to Bellossom and another one I hadn't heard of. I think...

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 21/02/2017 22:13

I'm powering up my blissey even as I post.

That actually sounds quite rude.

TinfoilHattie · 21/02/2017 18:38

Very fruitful wander around Kelvingrove Park and hte University area of Glasgow this morning! Finally caught the elusive Aerodactyl (right by the fountain if anyone's local) and also a Sudowoodo (very weird looking thing), Wooper, Marill, Yanma, Remoraid, Togepi from an egg, Pinchu from another egg, Wobbuffet and Subbull. Now sitting on caught 162, seen 176 on the Pokedex.
