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

I've got loads of flappyfish candy, but waiting for a properly good one to come along before I evolve another gyarados. Shiny would be a bonus, but I want a gyarados i can take above CP3000.

I'm hoping to bet a better rhydon from this event. I've caught plenty of high CP rhyhorn, in the past (local nests) but they've always been shit and I've never had a rhydon I can get past around the 2500 mark.

Caught the last of our local scythers, this morning (they've been rather shy, since the weekend) and that was shit, too! Noth that Scozor is worth the excitement - I just have rather a lot of metal coats to use up. 4 upgrades, too, and DS1 hasn't had one, yet!

Bold fail apparently

*I'm not going to evolve another Gary until I get a shiny carp.

Lapras will come, I caught two, hatched one.*

Yes that's a good plan. My BIL has a red Gyarados and I'm very jealous!

Hopefully sooner rather than later

I'm not going to evolve another Gary until I get a shiny carp.

Lapras will come, I caught two, hatched one.

WhiteHorseWilliam Oh that's good

I'm level 26 and though I opened an account last October and caught a few on DH's phone, it's only since March I started properly playing when I got my own device to play on. I got a Gyarados a while back, and am on my way to my next one!

Still would love a Lapras though!

Loo... I'm never in the loop at work...

whattodo I am level 26, DD is 25. I started in Jan, she started in Feb. My new Gary is 'above average' DDs is 'pretty decent' so neither are that exciting, we both have good ones from the water event though. Just exciting to see a big
Wild serpent :D

I caught my first Lapras at level 16 in the loop at work!

"Oi, Crapdragon"

DD, not Dad...

Super excited for the event, I need evolutions for Onix, Rhyhorn, Geodude, Kubuthingy. Will be walking my socks off for Buddy candy. DD should get Tyranitar, I should get a lot closer to it. Get your walking shoes on, Larvitar!

And.. I've caved and ordered a go plus, opened a new Amazon account especially for free prime trial so it comes tomorrow.

WhiteHorseWilliam Nice! What are both Gyarados' appraisals? And what level are you and DD?

I'm still missing a Lapras so would love to just run into one!

First try posting screenshots... yesterday on my lunch break I was going to rush to a nearby stop for a Haunter, when a blinking Gyarados appeared on sightings! First I've seen in the wild. Got it for me and DD. Hers was the highest wild CP I've ever caught, took about 6 ultra + razz. Mine, not so much. Got it with one ultra + razz, could probably have got it with a normal ball. Could probably have got it without throwing a ball at all. Could probably have just said "Oi, Crapdragon, get over here now" and I'd have had it.

THEN on the way home, pulled into the village hall car park to spin the stop and there's a Lapras next to me :D My third but Dad's first, she's thrilled.

Oooo, we have two new pokestops in town!!!!!!

Dillite- nests change 1am tomorrow morning.

The new pokestops have come across from Ingress where people have been adding new portals and amending existing ones eg adding photos where they were missing.

I've had a great day today! I hatched a second Phanphy so now have 30 out of the required 50 for final gen, hatched an Elekid so I have all the babies now, and caught a WONDER Militank! Usually the ones you catch aren't so great so I was well chuffed with that.

Elekid and Militank were both new for me so great to fill up my Pokedex some more

Today I got enough candy for Muk. Then I hatched Growlithe and it came with enough candy for me to evolve Arcanine. Very happy as I hardly ever see those 2.
Only 9 left for my gen 1 dex and hoping this event will help with a few of those.

My new po go plus has arrived. Old one still not turned up. Oh well, I'm ready to walk kabuto! Shame it arrived after my 11 mile run!

My highest pokemon is a CP2800 Gryados on level 30. I'm still blocked out of the gyms by higher level trainers and high CP mons.

Bring on the event!

Spreadsheets are the easiest way to keep track.

Dratini don't nest but if you walk along the Thames you've got a decent chance of catching a couple. Are you going to cheat and use the map?

People have spreadsheets? I admire your dedication!

I haven't really been playing. Last week I had to restart my daily streak 3 times. I have been walking a 2k egg for more than a week now :o

This weekend I am off to London. Any advice on the best nests? A dratini nest would be great.

Just read the press release for the new event and it says a new hat will be available? I wonder which Pokemon they'll pick? I love my Magicarp hat.

Ooh, spreadsheet envy!
I could have a 3k+ dragonite but no candies, so he's languishing at 2916.

I got cyndaquil from a 5k egg might have been an Easter egg though. I've caught one cp10 houndour - don't know if I'll be walking that one!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion. 😂 Love the spreadsheets.

There is something strangely relaxing about sorting your pokemon out at the end of a days catching.
I'm going to a talk today so I'm hoping there will be a pokestop there to keep me entertained. I can't catch anything from my house - it must be amazing to be able to.

Answering my own question, it seems that Duduo and Mankey no longer hatch, and Houndour never has. I think I've been working from a dodgy list.

Does anyone know for sure about the gen 2 starters? I know they didn't hatch, then they did over the Easter event - I heard they are now in 5 km eggs, can anyone confirm?

Hatched a Miltank and caught a Kabuto today, so quite happy!

Talking of spreadsheets, want to see mine? I am the world's biggest time waster!
