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

Shiny thread!

I am walking my dratini, 10 candy until I can get my dragonite, the last one I need for original gen 1.

Chugging through level 32, 250 000 to go!

I know Porygon candy is good but I'm up to 191 now, during the Valentines event they were everywhere here, was catching about 5 a day. I want to hatch Togepi, Slugma, Scyther, Mareep, Dratini and Larvitar. Can we still hatch Gen2 starters, or was that just for Easter?

We had a gym purge locally, last ight. A load of yellow gyms had built up to level 10, during the week, but this morning, they were still level 10, but with only a few pokemon in.We plonked some of our finest in one, and it filled up again, behind us.

Then went up to another town, this afternoon, and it was full of grey, empty gyms. We had fun gettign into some, but didn't stay in them long enough to profit from any of them, as we'd already claimed for the two we got into, in the morning (e took down a small fym and I put a ditto into it because nothing ever stays in that one very long!

All the obvious level 40 spoofers in Gateshead are still in situ, mind. I took some screenshots, the other week, so might flag them up.

DS1 has been grumbling about not having had an upgrade, yet. I got my 5th, this afternoon! I might end up throwing some out because I can't do anything with them.

MuddlingMackem · 14/05/2017 00:07

Porygon candy is good, TrashPanda, another evolution in a future generation I'm told, so stash the candy. :)

I'm currently incubating a 10k and got another one in the bag. Hoping for Mareep candy, or a Larvitar myself.

TrashPanda · 13/05/2017 22:56

My 5K just hatched into a bloody Porygon Angry

TrashPanda · 13/05/2017 22:54

Do you do gyms Doctor? I don't really stay anywhere long enough to spend time on them. I seem to always be rushing between work, school, clubs and home. I'm not trying to collect stardust, I'm just one of those people who worry about wasting things, so they never get used. I was the same with gel pens at school Blush

I'm mid level 27 at the moment and need 11 more to complete both Gen1 and 2. Hatched a Mareep today so up to 81 candy for that. Put another 10K on, hope it's Larvitar.

MuddlingMackem · 13/05/2017 19:43

Didn't get a Tangela from last weekend's event, but did see enough Sunkerns to be able to evolve a Sunflora, so not a dead loss. Also a couple of days ago hatched a Pineco from a 10k egg which gave me enough candy to evolve one, and the previous egg gave me a Magby, so at last I have all of the Gen 2 babies. :)

DoctorTwo · 13/05/2017 16:55

659k stardust? Pah!

I got knocked out of the gyms a few days ago, and they bumped up to L10 so I can't get back in Angry One of mine had a 2800+ CP too, so quite strong. I'm suspecting duplicate accounts for another team to create space. There's not enough action from other teams to make it interesting and make space, and now I'm stuck on just the infinite incubator.

Still can't find my po go plus either. I had it clipped on the pocket of my dress late on Wednesday and no idea what's happened to it since. Definitely not on the dress which is still hanging around.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 13/05/2017 13:29

I hope I haven't accidentally swiped! Occasionally I'll find a gym with an empty space and I sometimes leave empty spaces for people if I have the time to level up.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 13/05/2017 13:27

I just find it a bit boring to stand outside for half an hour fighting the same pokemon. The red team are really active around here. If I take down a gym it's a really high level for them within the hour.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 13/05/2017 13:27

Oh I really hope they don't have plans to make all Pokemon in a gym different.

tumpymummy · 13/05/2017 09:45

What todo you have been very lucky then. It's a bummer when it happens because you can't quite believe it's happened. I've stood there bemused counting the mons in the gym. And of course you can't see the f**ckers. I quite like the idea of all mixed gyms- would be more interesting with different ones in. Not just everyone whacking in a blissey or gyrados.

tumpymummy · 13/05/2017 09:41

A gym full of dragonites is really weak. I'm surprised no one has taken that down. Last week there was a Facebook call out for my team for everyone to add their shuckles! So we had a shuckle gym. But it only lasted a few hours Smile Yes I was talking about sniping when training up a friendly gym. Not when you defeat an enemy gym. I know you get priority on a grey gym. Wish the same applied after training a friendly gym.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 13/05/2017 09:19

There are plans to make it so all pokemon in a gym have to be different. Would put a stop to ones stacked with Blissey.
Near me theres one with 8 Dragonites it's almost too boring to take down!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 13/05/2017 00:49

Oh really? I hadn't noticed that. I battle gyms every day and have never had someone snipe me (and I'm always battling in the centre of town).

ojalele · 13/05/2017 00:42

Argh. Thick fingers!! Sorry about spelling mistakes

ojalele · 13/05/2017 00:41

That's true when you win a gym from another team, butnot when ypu level a gym up. I took a gyme from 42000 to 49000 only to spot a kid battling it too. So I waited for him to finish and took my spot...

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 13/05/2017 00:29

tumpymummy Unless you're taking too long to put a Pokemon in after levelling up/fighting a gym, that shouldn't happen, because battle winners get priority for at least a minute after the battle.

tumpymummy · 13/05/2017 00:26

I hope they are sorting out the sniping of gym places. I'm put off training high level gyms now in case someone grabs my space. Last week I spent ages training a gym from 42000 to 50000 only for some t**•er to grab my slot. Today I saw a gym that needed 3000 to go up a level but I didn't bother with it as it's in the centre of town with lots of people walking around that area that could nick my spot.

loc · 12/05/2017 22:46

My local gyms are so stagnant, I have loads of revives, and am chucking out anything less than a max potion (which I have tonnes of). I just don't have the time nor inclination to stand and battle level 10 gyms packed with 2500-3k+ Blisseys. It's boring. I'm in 3 gyms so get my coins, and so just catching vermin till something exciting happens. Which it will. I hope.

Soubriquet · 12/05/2017 21:33

No I don't do gyms either

TheweewitchRoz · 12/05/2017 21:32

I lost you guys again (have name changed!). We've levelled up to level 32 finally but getting quite bored as all the gyms near us as level 10 blue so no chance of getting in. Angry

TrashPanda · 12/05/2017 21:29

I don't really battle gyms so I don't power up my Pokemon. I think I'm worried about wasting it, so never use it. I've got over 650K. Nothing new or exciting and all eggs have been rubbish, did catch a wild Rhydon this morning though.

I've been catching everything I can to build it up. Tedious as hell but it works

I also don't do the mass evolve like everyone else does. Means I'm only on level 23 but I get my stardust too
