I got umpteen single-use incubators from Pokestops during the Christmas event - still got three left unused.

My apologies. I have no idea how, but I seem to have inserted a link to a random site in my message above. Please ignore the link and don't click on it.
I've reported my post and asked MN to get rid of the link.

Thank you so much DameDeDoubtance

Not only have I learnt something new about how to use a mobile phone (tethering), but I have also obtained my first lot of pokeballs in days.

Finally got Chancey! Grin

FreeNiki · 13/02/2017 13:57

Kew Gardens is full of Magmars for this event. Just caught 3 so far and ive been here 10 minutes.

PossumInAPearTree · 13/02/2017 10:38

Just caught a wigglytuff which is the first I've ever seen.

tumpymummy · 13/02/2017 10:18

How do you get through so many eggs? You must be buying incubators? I'm only ever hatching one egg at a time using the infinity one. Every time I hatch one another drops straight away from the next pokestop, which obviously isn't happening to you guys (which is weird!)

spiderlight · 13/02/2017 10:16

Got my second Snorlax last night! I was all settle on the sofa with a mug of Horlicks, about to watch Call the Midwife on catchup, popped the app on just in case something good spawned in the house and there was a Snorlax on my 'nearby' at our closest Pokestop. DH thought I was insane getting all bundled up and walking up the hill in an Arctic gale with mine and DS's phones, but there were two other people there catching it so I wasn't the only mad one!

Igneococcus · 13/02/2017 10:13

I have got one egg since this event started, that was on Friday morning. I'm getting really annoyed about this. I've done 40+ pokestops during the weekend and another 7 just now without getting a single egg. The same happend during the Christmas event. It's all well and good having a higher hatch-rate for babies but not if I can't actually get any eggs. I'm fed up.

loc · 13/02/2017 08:38

Galen, I like 2k's because you can burn through them quickly. Maybe it's because of the ^pink pokies, they will be full of the pink babies? I'm struggling to hatch my 5k's due to family/half term nonsense. I can't get out for a decent walk!

GalenJustGalen · 13/02/2017 00:53

I'm so bummed because the weather here is just abysmal, like unwalk-ably bad, and all those double candies are just going to waste! Gah! Also refilled my egg basket last night and got ONE 5k egg and EIGHT STUPID 2ks. I hate everything.

-scowls and stomps out-

Starlight2345 · 12/02/2017 22:05

I am on 3 gyms..The one I only have 461/2000 and is level 1.. I can see it from home.It is in the middle of 4 way traffic light road works but am shocked in 7 hours could claim my 3rd lot of coins for the gym.

FreeNiki · 12/02/2017 19:47

I need 8000 points to go up to level 33. Then I'll be stuck on 33 for months.

Dillite2 · 12/02/2017 16:57

Oh there are definitely a lot less revives than there used to be. I was also a serial revive chucker to make space for balls but now I have no revives to chuck. It doesn't help that most pokestops only give out 3 or 4 items now.

PossumInAPearTree · 12/02/2017 16:38

The revives aren't dropping as much as they used to, either the normal or the max. I used to throw the normal ones out when my bag got full and now I can be down to single figures sometimes!

Icouldbeknitting · 12/02/2017 16:27

Dillite2 the max revive is a revive plus a full heal. You will continue to get normal revives - I can't say that I'm getting that many of either at the moment so since I levelled up I've only got a couple of the max revives. I'm not farming to the extent that I used to so it's difficult for me to say whether they don't drop as often or whether it's just down to me being idle.

Dillite2 · 12/02/2017 16:15

Finally! I have leveled up to 30! But 500k to level 31? Wtf? What happened to 50k increases? And how on earth do people manage to get to 35+? They must be playing 24/7.

How do these max revives work? Do I only get them now or do I get normal revives as well? I killed off 38 pokemon today taking down level 10 rival gyms. I honestly have no idea how so many people around here have managed to get so many 3000cp dragonites and snorlaxes. I swear, in one gym every other pokemon was a 3000 or so cp dragonite.

PossumInAPearTree · 12/02/2017 15:26

Caught a chansey in my kitchen today.

Icouldbeknitting · 12/02/2017 13:01

I walked to the shops this morning so I would pass a Pokestop and pick up my seven day bonus. That's it, that's me done for today as it is weathering it down outside.

jaggythistle · 12/02/2017 12:57

So jealous of people with a Pokéstop less than 2 miles away! 😏

Might take older DC out for a drive there if the baby sleeps for a bit now...

There was snow down my way Dillite. Not THUNDERSNOW unfortunately, but snow nonetheless. Could only 'Mon for 20 minutes as it was so cold.

I missed my 7th day pokestop streak yesterday as I simply could not be bothered to walk the 100m to my nearest pokestop in the sleet.

DameDeDoubtance · 12/02/2017 09:47

Green - look in settings for something called tethering, most phones have it. Then your phone will broadcast it's signal and you can piggy back another device.
