Just hatched another chansey from 10k egg. Need the candy to power up my blissey so not so bad

FreeNiki · 19/03/2017 14:06

Christ no Lapras since Augsut and I catch one wild and then hatch a 10k egg with a Lapras minutes later. They are crap cp now so a waste.

Had an evolve yesterday. These are my newbies.

Actual rage- my brother took my Pokémon for a walk to hatch my egg. A bloody Sudowoodo Angry

DoctorTwo · 19/03/2017 12:46

According to a GPS tracker app I walked 10.89km yesterday . The PokemonGo app registered only approx. 4.7km. I think it's because PoGo only works on my phone when I have good 4G coverage.

I have found my people!! I have to confess to not having as many highbrow Pokemon as many of you guys have though!

I have a 10k egg that is so close to hatching but I had an operation on Monday and mobility is limited :( The only thing I can catch from my house is bloody swinub!

"4 gyms and one pokestop where I have 4G"
other way round, 4 stops, one gym

Igneococcus · 19/03/2017 11:07

I think I was really lucky with where I was tumpumummy it's an area with loads of high tech companies, with several Airbus facilities and the airport, it might well have been a different experience a few miles into the countryside. I know how it is when you do't have reliable 4G, I live in rural Scotland and there are 4 gyms and one pokestop where I have 4G, all the gyms and stops 6 miles south from me, in the small town, are inaccessible to me.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 19/03/2017 10:51

We've been pretty lucky with items.

We got 3 sun stones in the first couple of weeks and 2 metals coats in the last couple of weeks. Only the first sun stone was a result of the 7 day streak so I am calling phony on that theory.

I have read a few theories about items though - one that only certain pokestops has a chance of dropping them, one that special items you get are a result of who you are buddied with.

My personal theory is that pokestops also have sort of item migration periods. This is based on the huge database of evidence of 1 player - me - getting three sun stones in a row, followed by 2 metal coats in a row. Grin

RueDeWakening · 19/03/2017 10:44

These special items are a myth, I'm sure. I've had a single upgrade, ever.

I have made DH a birthday cake though :o

ignacceous I'm with O2 too and using the O2 travel. It just didn't work properly as all I got was 3G even though I was in big cities. Going away again at may half term and where we stay won't even have wifi so not sure what to do.

Igneococcus · 19/03/2017 07:31

I (or work, really) paid for O2 travel tumpymummy which is £1.99 a day and gives me the same allowance for text/phone/data that I have in the UK. It worked brilliantly for me but I was in Toulouse close to the airport and the airbus site, I imagine 4G coverage in that area is probably as good as it gets.
I'm not sure yet what I do when we are in Germany for Easter. I might pay for O2 travel but I might first check if there are any stops or gyms in the village.

tumpymummy · 19/03/2017 00:37

I've completed Gen 1 all except a Tangela. Have 197 caught on my pokedex. 4 dragonites, 2 Gyrados, 1 Lapras and 5 Snorlax. I don't have any of the Gen 2 big fighters but do have a sunkern, cyndaquil and a chikorita.
I was in France too last week but couldn't play much because I couldn't get 4G on my phone, only 3G which doesn't really work for pokemon go. Annoyingly had the same thing in Portugal a few weeks ago. Has anyone successfully played P Go whilst overseas? (Aside from using wifi at hotel) ?

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 18/03/2017 20:13

I had one iron coat and have no special items whatsoever since then.

ironmanslady · 18/03/2017 18:59

Caught this little beauty today! Hardly ever see drantini's so mega happy with that!

Crappy weather today. A Vulpix lured me out, so I trained up the gym too whilst there. Then bagged a Dratini (I think we have a nest) and hatched a Charmander. Not too bad.

PickAChew · 18/03/2017 15:49

Another dragon scale (how many kingdra do i need?) And a sunstone!

Plus a yanma (another one turned out to be a ditto!) And a togetic.

And very sore feet. Have done 14600 steps and didn't choose the best footwear for it.

FreeNiki · 18/03/2017 13:34

I have 422 magikarp candies so enough for a 3rd gyarados.

i went to a pokestop which is a sunkern spawn point and also picked up a 2080 Gyarados wild.

i wonder if i should evolve a 4th or keep the candies for powering up.

PickAChew · 18/03/2017 11:01

And the weather hasn't read the forecast. Picked up our qwllfish in the pouring rain. Didn't stick around to see if there were any more lurking.

PickAChew · 18/03/2017 10:33

Two 10k eggs and another dragon scale before I had even left Durham, this morning. And no spinning streaks involved. It's the first time I had left the village since Monday.

Off in a quest for qwllfish and yanma and possibly some more totodiles. Will have to see how we do for time and how well the metro is running because we will need it to get to two of our destinations. Currently on a packed whey aye five-O!

Igneococcus · 18/03/2017 08:23

I was in France all week for work and saw 2 shadows while i was in my hotel room. I couldn't figure out where the pokestop was and neither could the receptionist.
I got a metal coat today, only my second special item.

Lilaclily · 18/03/2017 08:16

Dillette I am on 80 candies for my dragonite, might get one in easter 2018 at this rate Grin

loc · 18/03/2017 08:13

Just as I was starting to get bored, I saw a few shadows yesterday. Didn't catch any of them but it gives me hope I might get something different soon! Just made level 29, so that's 10 revives to get my big guns back on the team.

Icouldbeknitting · 18/03/2017 07:51

I was sitting here in my nightie at 6.35 this morning, having a cup of tea in that quiet time before everyone else gets up. I was pondering the big decision of whether I should have another cup of tea then a shower or a shower then another cup of tea. Suddenly the right answer was the third option - leave the tea, throw on some clothes and chase the shadow on sightings. I now have a Dunsparce and I knocked over the closest gym seeing as I was out there anyway.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 18/03/2017 07:28

I still need 17 gen 1 not including regional. Most are the 3rd evolution. Stoll not sure how I'll ever get enough magicarp errrr half way there. I see about one a fortnight as I'm not near water
