Pokémon Go #8: Don't mess with my Hoothoot

Although I never evolve into a (rare) second form if there is a third without having enough to evolve all three, because by the time you get to be able to evolve a third time, you probably have a much better Pokemon in terms of IVs and stats than the one you initially evolved, if that makes sense?

That makes perfect sense, but I am usually too excited about the new 'mon to wait. I am in awe of people who save their evolves for a double xp event as well. However, I have managed to hold back on evolving my Larvitar to Pupitar as I haven't got a great one.

Loving the event! Evolved Sunflora and Exxecutor (sp?) today, from having virtually no candy yesterday. DD has too, she also got her first Jumpluff.

Caught at least 6 Bulbasaurs, and three or four Chikoritas. Keep running out of Pinap berries though, so their evolves are still a way away.

have been all over the area recently - not one!

That may be the issue then; you get the same Pokemon in the same area with only rare shows of new ones (I'm in a water area so very rarely get fire or grass Pokemon). It's not an issue with the game.

On the negative my 10km egg was a Lavitar

Why is that a negative? You always need more Tyrannitar candy as they're one of the best in gyms!

I can see a sunkern nearby - DH already thinks I'm mental for running out after a shadow.

I think others have issues as well - I don't have that many in my pokedex and have been all over the area recently - not one!

RudeDog Also, 'shadows' never went anywhere! You just didn't happen to bump into any Pokemon you hadn't yet caught.

RudeDog Oh I'd love to see a Shuckle! Snubbulls are cute but they're literally everywhere in the wild where I am!

2 shadows today!! Went and caught them both - a very low CP Shuckle and this fella

So pleased shadows are back

Earlier today I had 3 Sunkern candy and 6 Chikorita candy. I now have 45 and 31 respectively. And I've walked Pineco far enough to evolve the rascal.

I've ordered a new phone, a Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus, 'cos it has a better spec than my current Alcatel Pixi4. A better battery for starters. It's going to be a long couple of days before it's delivered.

onemouseplace So jealous! Favourite Pokemon ever and I'm desperate for one

I caught a Meganium today! Crap stats, but still!

So jealous! Meganium is my favourite Pokemon ever. Seen a few but not a lot and ran out of pinap berries

I've managed to get enough chikorita candy to do the 50 candy evolve. Now have to get 100 more

That's a shame I didn't have to update mine, so you're not missing anything like that. Very weird.

I'm very happy as I finally managed to get my venosaur! I've walked 174km with it and today's grass event allowed me to skip a load more walking for it Now I just have to find someone else to walk...

No influx of grass pokemon over here. Juts rats and podgeys.

I'm not sure what's happened then I've checked and there's no update available. Been out for a walk and it's the usual mucrows, rattatas etc

Guessing spawns are only increased in grass areas unlike the water event when it was everywhere

No, that's not true. I live in a water area, very rarely see any grass Pokemon, but this weekend grass Pokemon are everywhere.

This is a bit of a non event here. Not seeing any grass types apart from one Hoppip

Great Soubriquet! I need one of those! And Kabutops, Tangela and Dragonite and I'm done for Gen 1.

I caught a Meganium on the way back from yoga! It is a bit of a crap one though.

Igneococcus - I went to Florence in September and didn't see anything interesting - I was really quite disappointed. Whereas my friend went to Eastbourne and said it was great

LOOK WHAT JUST SPAWNED FOR ME IN THE WILD!!

There's an event on and yet I can't be arsed to participate in it. Sigh.

It is interesting how he habitats vary. I am overrun with eevee's and nidorans. And aerodactyls are my common rare IYSWIM. Have only ever hatched one tangela and never seen a wild one.

I thought he event had started yesterday morning when I caught 3 chicoritas on my morning walk, but think it must be a neat!
My family also think I'm mad tumpy, when they saw me wearing the logo plus I got lots of raised eyebrows. Only one nephew understands.

I have three tangelas tumpymummy but like bumwad, I thought I never get an aerodactyl.
I always find it interesting what other players find rare. I'm also close to water and there are some pokemons that I don't even notice anymore, like I could catch 20 magikarps every day if i wanted (I do check if they are shinies now) but then went to the middle of Germany over Easter and didn't see a single one in the 9 days there. Or the poster who is walking a voltorb, there are two in my office half of each day (taking turns with magnites) and two more at the car park. I'm going to Florence for a few days at the end of the month, I'm curious to see what I find there.
