PokemonGo #9. A journey to hatch a 10km egg starts with a single step.

Ooh I didn't know that there's a pokemon thread.

I'm hoping for an Aerodactyl and Larvitar (I need 99 candies to evolve). I haven't seen either.

I have got a Magcargo and enough candies to evolve Onix and Abra. I'm now working on Grimer. Loving the candies!

Ahh okay. I buy incubators every 150 coins which is every few days. I like to walk a lot of eggs! So incubators aren't a waste for me.

I just don't need any more storage or any more lucky eggs.

(Sorry to derail, but quick question, can you do google opinion rewards if you have an iPhone?)

If you don't gym, what do you do about incubators?

I'm often in a good few gyms but I still don't buy many incubators as it always seems such a waste of pokecoins. I've maxed out my storage now and have over 50 lucky eggs in store. I'm saving up but I'm not sure what for 😂

My tip for staying in gyms is to aimlessly drive around the countryside until you find a big friendly gym. It's worth the effort of powering it up as you can then, hopefully, stay there a long time. I've been in three gyms since last October. They are in small hamlets and are level ten.

I live in a water area where magikarp are really common so it didn't take too long for me to get a Gyarados. All the magikarp I've got since have been spent on powering him up because he's awesome

Until today he was my highest CP Pokemon; now it's Rhydon.

It really is..... can't wait to change him

Soubriquet I walked a magikarp to get my first gyrados. It wasn't too bad as it's only 1km per candy. But annoying to see the flappy fish flapping every time.

We're still in a gym we walked ino last Saturday, after the spoofers were kicked out. Also one we trained up on Wednesday. We've been kicked out of the two we got into, today.

Noticed that the "LEVEL 40" players are out of the Gateshead gyms, now.

I managed to get into a gym that I've stayed in for almost a week now, its amazing (I'm Blue but Red rules this town)

I'm walking my magikarp....one candy every 0.25..I don't have a gyrados yet so this is my chance

So many slugmas everywhere! Lots of geodudes and one or two onix each day if I'm watchful. At one point I was in five gyms today but hopefully will hold the four I'm in overnight so I can collect coins in the morning. Going to try to hold out to the end of the week and do a lucky egg evolve. Darn having to go to work!

Walking my snorlax so I can build up my big lad :)

It's Google Rewards. You get around 10p for each survey then you can spend the money on Google play.

Please someone tell me how these opinion rewards work

I've just evolved Steelix so now up to 201 on the pokedex.

I heard that for the first hour of the event there were lots of Lavitar then niantic realised and made them appear less. The same happened in the water event when Dratini was accidentally included at the start. I think for the next event I'll be ready to run out my front door at the start!

I only do occasional gyms as it's quite difficult to get in any or take one down playing alone. Get some coins from opinion awards also.
I mainly spend coins on bag and pokemon space. I've had a run of useless egg hatches so haven't bothered with extra incubators for a while

I'm taking advantage of the event to buddy my scythar as it's the only one of the special item evolves I haven't had enough candy to do.

Also picked up a shitload of onix, geodudes and rhyhorn. It's slightly annoying as I walked that bloody kabuto for what felt like 17 years to evolve it because I never saw one anywhere but such is life.

PickAChew How do you get coins from doing the opinion rewards? I've not heard of that before.

You don't have to pay, do you? I get enough from gyms to never need to pay, but if you can get coins for free in other ways, I won't turn it down! The more incubators the better.

Loads of slugmas and geodudes here. I want to catch some onyx so I can evolve a steelix but I've only seen them in the distance so far.

I levelled up to 32 today. Just 750000 to get to 33. 😩

No Aerodactyl or Larvitars

My biggest source of poke coins is doing google opinion rewards. More of a slog now it's a fiver for a decent bag of coins, mind!

I buy the odd incubator, but only for 10K eggs - and I'm even less inclined to buy them for that now that there are so many unevolvables in 10k eggs. I spend the most coins on lucky eggs.

DameDeDoubtance If you don't gym, what do you do about incubators? That's all I spend my coins on that I get from gyms (with the few exceptions when I've bought storage space).

Our town is split in half; half red gyms, half blue gyms. Every so often yellow manage to take one, but they never keep it.

My DH has had a Tyrannitar for a while now as he was very lucky and hatched 5 Larvitars in a row!

I'm so jealous.

I just like filling holes in my 'dex, not too bothered about gyms. The gyms here are so static that there is no point.

I do sometimes bring one down but it's swiped back and full off blissys by the morning. I swear these people don't sleep.

I hatched a 4th larvitar, this morning. Definitely picked up the egg before the event started, since today was the first time I got out of the house for more than a few minutes since Wednesday! Have 65 larvitar candy and already have a pupitar, so might spend a couple of days walking one of them - currently walking a chansey, as I don't actually have a blissey, yet and I've only ever hatched one.

I wouldn't put too much sweat into evolving Onix. Steelix isn't quite as disappointing as Scizor, but isn't much better. Intimidting in a gym, though. It just flattens your poor mon with it's big 'eed over and over again!

I'm loving the event. Evolved a Golem, Omastar and a Steelix today. I need to catch one more Kabuto to evolve it.

DD1 left her cat toy at a zoo today so we'll probably have to go back tomorrow. What a shame (gazillion poke stops here I come).

Hoping for a Larvitar some time soon.

I have hatched 3 Larvitars. I've evolved to Pupitar and now walking to be able to evolve to Tyrannitar.
