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

How the heck are Rhinos easier to catch than slugs?

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 21/05/2017 22:54

I still need an Aerodactyl. I hope I see one before the event ends. I can walk everything else I need for Gen 1.
I'm working in London this week and having a debate with myself on whether to cheat and use the London map to find one.

Caught another Larvitar this evening so up to 35 candy. Slugma are everywhere here so I have over 200 candy. Fire pokemon are usually hard to find so hoping to get the last 30 for my gold badge before the event ends.

I got a bloody manitine out my 10k egg today, just as bad as a gilgar.

I now have two Blisseys!

I took down a Level 10 gym in my village yesterday on my own. It's been static for weeks and has been annoying me.

Got 4 Rhydons now, 3 Golums, 3 omnastar and 2 steelix.

DoctorTwo · 21/05/2017 18:50

I caught a Graveler with 1314CP. First one I've seen in the wild. It settled first ball.

Most of this afternoon was spent catching Slugma, Geodude, Onix, Kabuto and Ryhorn. I have enough candy for 2 Magcargo and 2 Kabutops. I'm happy about that, that's 2 more to add to the 'Dex.

Simutaneous hatches today were Magby, Magnemite, Rhyhorn and magnemite.

Good day today - got enough candy to finally evolve my Blissey!

We've also been out for the day and I caught (as well as the usual stuff) Scyther, Cyndaquil, Pineco and a Larvitar - all of which I need for evolutions.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 21/05/2017 15:45

Another Aerodactyl. I'm getting bored of them now Grin

Another larvitar too - this event has been good to me.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 21/05/2017 15:42

Soubriquet Yes, I was very chuffed with my high CP Rhydon too! It's now my best Pokemon Grin

It's also got Earthquake, which is a bitch of a move Grin

Congrats on the Snorlax pink! Does anyone know if shiny magicarps are still around?

Soubriquet · 21/05/2017 15:15

Also got my omastar

Here's a god little sort of cheat. If you have an apple watch. Open the game through that. It counts the steps and uses that to measure how far you've travelled. So you could literally walk around in circles and it would rack up the distance.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 21/05/2017 13:40

I use pinaps on eevees (always always need eevee candy), magikarps and machops, so I can power up my best Pokemon. Also use them on rares like larvitar, magnemite, starters etc.

Very happy - I caught a girafarig today! Been wanting one for ages Grin

pinkblink · 21/05/2017 13:20

Finally caught a break after weeks of those stupid flappy flat fish, woopers and tentacools in my eggs, I hatched a.... SNORLAX I'm so pleased!!

DameDeDoubtance · 21/05/2017 13:10

PokemonGo I use the pineapps on the evolved pidgey versions, get stacks of candy that way.

DameDeDoubtance · 21/05/2017 13:09

Hatched 2 sodding Gligars out of my last 10k eggs, nice to know thwy will one day have a purpose. Evolved Togepi last night, they are gorgeous when evolved. Walking Chancey now, need 21 candies to evolve.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 21/05/2017 11:20

Gligar evolves into Gliscor, but that won't be available till Gen 4. It won't be entirely useless; the candy will come in handy eventually, just long term.

It's the same with Murkrow; it evolves into Honchkrow in Gen 4.

So these Pokemon you think are useless, won't be in the long run Wink

TrashPanda · 21/05/2017 10:08

Caught a Larvitar this morning so up to 29 candy, miles to go. Going for a walk today, got a 10k egg to hatch that I got from the pokestop the Larvitar was at, hoping it will be a Larvitar too is wishful thinking right...

I'll grant pidgey that it's great for XP farming.

I use pineapps on pidgeys Grin. Gotta love that XP!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 21/05/2017 09:34

We caught an Aerodactyl! Soooo happy! 210 on pokedex now.

We caught a larvitar a few days ago, hoeing for one or two more before the event ends.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 21/05/2017 09:28

I'm still catching Mucrows because I want my Dark medal and am nearly there. Once I've got it I'll ignore those goady crows

RudeDog · 21/05/2017 09:21

Missed an areodactyl because I was sat about in my PJs - so near too

Starlight2345 · 21/05/2017 08:36

i got a gligar out my last 10k egg. I am on 2k eggs at the minute hoping to pick something good up out of an egg on this event.

Mucro's are on my list of things I don't bother to catch, as well as Mr Mime.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 21/05/2017 08:29

I've had the gligars and pinecos recently. At least pineco can evolve, but still not into a useable pokemon. Gligar is pointless.

I think a big weakness of the game is that there's a cluster of elite high CP pokemon and so many that have little value after evolution. Not so bad if they're rare and novel. Blooming annoying when it's a waste of a 10k egg! Murcro annoys me as it's neither evolvable, nor easy to catch. I'll grant pidgey that it's great for XP farming.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 20/05/2017 23:38

Yeah, I've had tons of gligars out of 10km eggs, but the times I get something exciting, like a chansey or a larvitar or a dratini, definitely make up for all the shit eggs so I reckon it's worth it.

All my eggs are 5km at the moment so I'm hoping for a girafarigg.

PokemonGo · 20/05/2017 23:35

I walk (and bike ride) flipping miles everyday but I can't remember the last time I got anything decent out of an egg. I've had nothing but rubbish out of and 10km eggs for months. 😪😪😪😡😡😡.

I caught a lapras in the wild today but it was only 200 odd CP. it was fun hunting it down though.
