It looked like a new thread was needed, so here it is, all shiny and pristine.

Keep hatching those 2km eggs what

I've gotten a few charmanders from them.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/06/2017 21:25

Here's my full list of 20 that I need (excluding regionals and legendaries):

• Charmeleon
• Charizard
• Raichu
• Sandslash
• Clefable
• Ninetales
• Gloom
• Vileplume
• Weepinbell
• Victreebell
• Duduo
• Dodrio
• Muk
• Exeggutor

  • Hitmonchan • Scyther • Magmar • Porygon
  • Snorlax • Dragonite

Like I say, most are evolutions that I can walk if I have to.

TheaDecker · 11/06/2017 21:16

I think I only have to get Dragonite from Gen 1 (excluding the regionals & those not available of course).
I have had some luck along the way. Got a Lapras v early on, caught a Venusaur in a park & a Snorlax right outside my house! Also I got lots of unusual ones early on in a seaside town, helped by the fact there was a poke stop in the holiday cottage, so never ran out of pokeballs.
Got 41 Dratini candy, so a bit of a way to go yet.

jennielou75 · 11/06/2017 21:06

I buy lucky eggs because I need to do mass evolves at double score to get my xp. I need 1,500,000 for level 35 which would take ages as I average 25,000 a day but sometimes less.

Soubriquet · 11/06/2017 21:01

I'm hoping so yes.

cottonwool125 · 11/06/2017 20:59

NormaSnickers hello fellow Norfolk dweller Grin amazing, thank you for telling me that! I'm planning on walking in to the city after work on Tuesday so I'll take that route. Could do with some Zubat candies to get a Crobat so every bit helps Smile

Soubriquet hopefully with the event you'll be able to tick Rapidash, Arcanine and Charizard off the list! Smile

Soubriquet · 11/06/2017 20:47

My missing gen 1:-

Blastoise
Charizard
Arbok
Clefable
Dugtrio
Primeape
Arcaine
Alakazam
Machamp
Rapidash
Farfetch'd
Dodrio
Muk
Marrowack
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
Kangaskhan
Scyther
Pinsir
Gyrados
Dragonite

Got everything else...

List was slightly longer than have I thought

NormaSnickers · 11/06/2017 20:42

Hi, I'm a lurker on this thread but just wanted to say to cottonwool125 that Norwich is my nearest city too and there is a nest in Castle Gardens, just by the top of Castle Mall. I found it thanks to this thread when someone mentioned the Silph Road Atlas, went there a couple of weeks ago and was able to add Wobuffet to my 'dex. I think the nest is currently Zubat as there were loads in the vicinity last week when I popped along there. Hope that helps - will slink back into lurkdom now!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/06/2017 20:41

Will maybe buy more lucky eggs as really use them with so much xp to get!

See I never buy lucky eggs; I just don't think they're worth it. Still, we've each got to get what works for us!

jennielou75 · 11/06/2017 20:36

I am on level 35 now. Will maybe buy more lucky eggs as really use them with so much xp to get! I am walking my snorlax so I can increase them as much as possible. These top levels are a bit boring!

MuddlingMackem · 11/06/2017 20:36

@cottonwool125, if you're on facebook look for a local Pokemon Go group, members should be able to tell you where are good places for catching most of those.

I'm still only missing Tangela from Gen 1, and of Gen 2 Unown is the only one I can't get from what I have. I'm still missing four others from the dex, but I have the means to evolve all of those, just need to walk hundreds of km for candy. Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/06/2017 20:32

cottonwool125 Yeah, during the events especially we like to get out to a different town just to shake things up a bit!

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 11/06/2017 20:28

Haha I did that too...walked Charmander for ages. Did the same with Bulbasaur right before the grass event Grin

Parks are good. Many parks will have a nest of a certain pokemon and that changes every 2 weeks I think. If you get lucky with one you need you can pick up loads that way.

cottonwool125 · 11/06/2017 20:27

WhatToDo Brilliant, thank you! I might take a trip to somewhere new soon and see if there is anything worth catching around there Smile

Of your list, the only one I have is a Doduo, only ever hatched the one from an egg so a long way off from the evolution (can't remember the name!)

Yes the upcoming event should be great. Would love to get an Archanine, a Typhlosion and of course a Houndoom! I have a few Cyndaquill candies stored up, so hopefully along with some pinap berries, it shouldn't take too long.

cottonwool125 · 11/06/2017 20:23

AbbeyRoadCrossing I bet you get some great Pokemon working in London! Smile

Thank you for the advice about the Facebook groups! I will definitely have a look and see if there are any local groups. My nearest city is Norwich in case anyone else on here is from around that way and knows of anywhere I should be heading Wink

Yes I would love a charizard. Typically, I have been walking my Charmander for weeks now, hoping to build up my candies. Then they go and announced the fire event! Feels like a bit of a waste now. Ah well Smile

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/06/2017 20:21

cottonwool125 The only advice is to get out there and play a lot! The more you play the more chance you have of seeing different Pokemon and hatching them too. Varying areas, even by the next town over, really helps too.

I'm Level 27 and I have 20 in Gen 1 left. The majority of them are evolutions whereby I haven't seen enough of the first form to get candy for the second and/or third forms.

I'm hoping the upcoming fire event will rectify this for Charmelon, Charizard and Magmar.

There are only four I actually need to catch or hatch: Snorlax, Porygon, Scyther and Duduo.

The rest I can walk if I have to, but it will be a long way!

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 11/06/2017 20:01

I'm level 29 and still have quite a few left to get cottonwool and I work in London a lot which should make it easier for me but I'm still a bit rubbish at the game!
If it's one I need then the pineapple berry is really useful. Also not sure where you live but our local Facebook group will list nests.

I still need:
Dragonite
Primape
Charizard (hope to get that this event)
Alakazam
Flareon (have enough candy but waiting for a decent Eevee )

cottonwool125 · 11/06/2017 19:47

How many of you have completed your gen one dex? I feel like theres loads of fairly basic Pokemon that I haven't got.

I still need-

Ekans
Vulpix
Electabuzz
Pikatchu
Abra
Tentacruel
Mankey

They're just the ones I can remember. I still need loads, but they're the ones everyone else seems to have Sad

Maybe they're just really rare spawns around where I live. I know some of those are fairly rare, but I'm level 22, so thought I would have at least seen some of them, if not caught or hatched from an egg.

Has anyone got any advice or ideas as to build up my pokedex? Smile

Bimblesalong · 11/06/2017 19:30

Thanks whattodo. :). So, just need the lapras and that's the first lot of mon complete. He wasn't in my 10k egg, but it was a dratini with a loaf of useful balls to power up the Dragonite. Maybe one will pop up in the event.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 11/06/2017 17:32

Although are there mews and mewtwos? - I'm guessing that's what 144-146 are.

Nope. Mew and Mewtwo are numbers 151 and 150 respectively, and they aren't in the game yet.

Numbers 144 - 146 are Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres (Gen 1's legendary Pokemon), and they aren't in the game yet either.

Rumours are that at least one of those three legendaries will be released this summer, but it'll be a special event with a lot of planning having gone into it.

Hope that helps, Bimblesalong Smile

DoctorTwo · 11/06/2017 17:26

The only interesting 'mon I've seen over the last week or so are the Squirtle and Skiploom I caught earlier today. Roll on the event is all I can say.

OP posts:
Bimblesalong · 11/06/2017 10:16

1/4 of the way through level 31, think I just need a lapras to complete the first collection (minus regionals). Although are there mews and mewtwos? - I'm guessing that's what 144-146 are.

Hopefully the 10k egg I'm walking is my lapras and not another sudowoodo...

TheaDecker · 10/06/2017 08:58

Whattodo - my highest Houndour cp is only 195. I have 19 candy so a while to go yet before evolving.

Currently have a Porygon buddy with quite a few more candy to get yet. Maybe Houndour next then!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/06/2017 21:53

TheaDecker It doesn't matter what moves a Houndoor has, as when it evolves into Houndoom they will change anyway. So you'll only know if it will be epic when you evolve Grin

If they are all weak CP, it will have been a nest. If not, just a coincidence. You never get high CP Pokemon from nests unfortunately!

I'm hoping for houndours in the fire and ice event.

Same!

Kpo58 · 09/06/2017 19:43

How long are there going to be extra pokestops in London?
