Off out in a bit to hand in my timesheet, hope I get another Aerodactyl!

Has anyone else noticed that spawns have drastically reduced?

I was in two different cities last week - nothing doing at all. Not a single new Pokemon and literally hardly anything showing even in areas where there were three pokestops relatively close together.

Ruhrpott · 20/03/2017 20:27

I'm 183 caught and 209 seen. Think my fav new one so far is the one that looks like a sting ray. Shame it's hot/cp is crap

Up to 173 caught now :)

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 20/03/2017 19:20

We caught a Skiploom today which gave us enough candy for the third evolution, whatever it's called.

Hatched a fricking wooper. Arrgh.

TinfoilHattie · 20/03/2017 17:51

It's funny how some areas seem to be bursting with certain Pokemon, and others are scarce.

My local Tesco has a river running beside it, and Dratini spawns there very regualrly - I've caught 12 of them (or hatched) according to Pokedex. Things like Sandshrew though are like hens teeth, I've only ever seen one and I think it was out of an egg.

Today has been fairly productive though - caught an Ursaring and Shuckle which are both new ones for me, and evolved a Lanturn from a Chinchou. Also it's been very heavy showers today and every time the clouds come over the GPS on my phone goes a bit haywire and my avatar takes herself off on wee walks up and down the street. Not that there'll be anything decent in the egg.

Up to 187 caught and 200 seen on the Pokedex.

Yep, scizor is pretty disappointing.

PickAChew · 20/03/2017 16:41

I have some good chickorita after last week's haul but my totodiles are all rubbish.

I stopped walking my omanyte 3 candy short of enough to evolve because I didn't actually have one worth evolving.

FreeNiki · 20/03/2017 15:17

I got another pineco from a 10k egg. the last 3 have been pinecos and i caught one wild Angry

Ruhrpott · 20/03/2017 13:40

I finally walked far enough to evolve my scizor. Was a bit of an anticlimax though as not much happened and the cp/hp is still crap on it.

My totodiles are all useless too Galen. I did just evolve one just for another to add to my dex. Only seen one chikorita. 😒
Maybe I neefto work harder on the badges and forget the gyms. I've not really focused on them really, just a nice surprise when I get them. Need 6 more for my Johto region one, that's the one I want!

GalenJustGalen · 20/03/2017 12:53

Maybe I should change my buddy from Porygon to something else. I just got another upgrade card. That's my fourth special item. The first two were sunstones, the last two are upgrades. And I hit a LOT of pokestops per day. I only need to walk 36 more km before I can evolve one of my two Porygons, though!

10k eggs, all eggs, really, have been crap for me lately. I've got 4 10k eggs cooking and they're probably all going to be pinecos or dratinis. Bleh!

I've been trying to catch every dark pokemon I see in order to get the badge. Around here that seems to be Mukrows, or whatever they're called. They take so many balls apiece to catch. It's nuts.

Also, has anyone caught a Chickorita in the wild with even halfway decent stats? Every single one I've caught so far says it has terrible stats. I have enough candies to evolve one now. Might have to just go for it in order to fill the pokedex. Hmph.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 20/03/2017 12:28

I've been away for the weekend. The hotel was a pokestop and had free wifi Grin

I'm well stocked on supplies, but the pokemon were disappointing, the usual vermin despite being on a sea front.

Having a quiet plodding phase building candies back up. Inching my way towards Level 29, maybe another week to go? I'm within a candy of being able to evolve scyther.

PickAChew · 20/03/2017 12:00

No more electabuzz in eggs. It'd be an elekid!

Dillite2 · 20/03/2017 11:43

I love seeing all these pokemon cakes! I really want to make one, but I hate iced cakes so it would be a huge waste of money and time.

I caught a wild 2138cp ursaring this morning. My biggest wild catch to date.

spiderlight · 20/03/2017 11:00

Look what my friend made for my son's birthday! Grin

I have caught absolutely sod all worth having lately and I'm not even excited about having a 10k egg on nearly 9k because I know it won't be a Lapras. It'll be a blinking Electabuzz or something.

Icouldbeknitting · 20/03/2017 10:37

I'm up to 209 caught, I need four more new ones for the gold Johto catching badge. I'm still seeing a shadow every couple of days, it might be far enough away that I don't set off after it but at least I know that they are out there. Another twenty some Swinubs will get me my gold ice type badge, six more Murkrows for the silver dark type badge, 12 Ghastlys for the gold ghost type badge. There's enough there to throw balls at for another few weeks by which time I might possibly have spun another special item. Or not (probably not)

loc · 20/03/2017 10:23

I'm so frustrated, I have 163 ultra balls and 106 great balls but never see anything worth chucking them at. Time for a new event...boredom is setting in. I might even have a break from playing. Caught 206 on the pokedex, I'm not seeing anything new, and long list of future buddies which all need a lot of walking. Gym battles are getting boring, I knock them down and they are back up to level 8+ next day. Blah blah blah, sorry about the moan. Maybe I will have to do something more productive with my time! Is it just me?

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 20/03/2017 07:57

Dd1 caught a doduo yesterday! It doesn't sound like much, but it's the first one I have ever seen in the wild. We got one from our first ever egg way back when and then never saw one again. It was just in the wild - we were very happy Grin

Is today the first day of spring or something? The swineubs seem to have disappeared - I wonder if they migrated Grin

PickAChew · 19/03/2017 18:49

See lots of tyranitar in gyms, here.bbig buggers!

3 of my 5 items have come from the Bigg Market area. Other two from pokestop dense areas, Chester le Street, near the market and Durham marketplace!

Poor luck with a houndour nest, this afternoon. several in sightings when we first passed, but when we got into the car park, we struggled to find a space because there were various events on, one involving actual dogs! To cap it all off, they'd all disappeared by the time we got in. Ended up walking around the perimeter path twice, spinning pokestops and ignoring all the ledyba before one spawned right on top of our car, as we were about to leave!

Lilaclily · 19/03/2017 18:34

I have 2 snorlax, And 2 lapras, both hatched from 10 k eggs
Snorlax used to live in the gym but sadly no longer !

Dillite2 · 19/03/2017 18:24

Sorry, I am typing in between making pancakes. I'm up to 187 in pokedex, 207 seen.

I miss the days of seeing a lapras in the gym. Or golducks. I haven't seen those for a very long time.

Did someone say they had 5 snorlaxs? How? That's so unfair! I only have 1and only 1 lapras.

Dillite2 · 19/03/2017 18:18

Oh and hatched a paras from a 5k egg- seriously, 5k for a fucking paras? And a pineco from a 10k egg. I already had caught one in the wild.

Yesterday we caught some sunkens in Regent's park and that purple fish with the sniny ball on its head.

Dillite2 · 19/03/2017 18:16

I had a mass evolve session which took me to level 31- added some new ones- exeggutor, muk, sloking and a politoad.

I spent an hour, 46 revives and 58 potions today to get a rival gym down to level 3 from level 7. Managed to kick out a fucking blissey, one more remains. As I was battling to bring it down, another man was bringing it up. I still kicked him out. I hate blisseys so much.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 19/03/2017 15:57

Caught a Snubbull today which is new to me and hatched a Tyrogue with the right stats for Hitmontop so another new one for the dex and I've got all the hitmons now.
Just need to walk one more candy to evolve my Rhyhorn. I'm determined to get that Gen 1 dex done!

IhatchedaSnorlax · 19/03/2017 15:49

This thread dropped off my Threads I'm On Angry. Which are considered as the big hitters for gen 2?

Managed to take down a level 10 gym which had a high CP Blissey - love the Ursaring!
