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

it should make things easier for solo players like me.

I'm not sure about that. What they wanted to do with their changes was to encourage people to interact more, so it would seem counter productive to make it easier for solo players.

They do seem to have been doing events every two weeks, so a fighting type event seems possible.

I've just been on a long walk and caught my first Girafarig today. Unfortunately Pokémon Go wouldn't launch for 85% of the walk and kept freezing so the walk was for nothing.

I'm looking forward to the new gym system. I'm sure there'll still be spoofers unfortunately but it should make things easier for solo players like me. Taking down gyms stacked with ten of the same pokemon is so boring.

There was a rumour there'd be a fighting type event with the gym relaunch but seeing we've just had an event it seems unlikely.

Ta - going collecting this afternoon then!

When does the event end?

About 9pm on the 20th June.

I'm really pissed off about the gym disabling, but we'll see. I could end up loving the change.

Dedication, Soubriquet. I'm half considering seeing if there's a train into Bath even though it might take a while to get there. Forgot I was working yesterday so didn't anage to go.

Still no sign of a Lapras here. Hoping one of the two 10k eggs I'm incubating might have one.

When does the event end? Just realised I should do an evolve session!

Ah thanks, tumpy mummy. I managed recently with a vpn app, which routed my info through a server in the country I was in. I'll try that first if it doesn't automatically work. Where I had difficulty was with the cap that o2 put on the data - which was a pain and I couldn't find a way to top up on the daily allowance.

I've messed up! I was going to crack a lucky egg with my 7 day catch a Pokemon streak which is today, Sunday. However in bed last night there's one spawn spot I can reach. Stupidly caught a Pokemon after midnight didn't I, forgetting that was now Sunday! Could have doubled 2750XP for one catch!

Bimblesong you might not need to get a 3 SIm to play abroad, because from 15 Jun you can roam for free with yr phone in Europe (EU benefit). Although in my experience 02 not very good in Europe.

And argh re gyms disabling, need to cash my coins in tomorrow morning - need 5 more. Hopefully will manage to cash in first thing, since it won't be 'tomorrow' until later in California.

Dedication, soubriquet. I'm wondering about getting mine unlocked and getting a 3 SIM card, for travels abroad this summer.

Thanks! My m ate has seen two lapras just a few miles from here and has caught them for me should we ever be able to trade.

Popping out again later to search, but just need another 100 000 xp to get to the next level, so hoping to make some progress there.

I've just taken out a brand new contract with a new phone because my old one is failing just so I can play Pokemon go

Is that dedication? Or just sad?

Look forward to the announcement - the gym rework ?

I only need two more Charmander and then my fire pokes are complete. Flying too, for that matter. A few more Sneasels would be great too, for gen 4! We don't get them often, normally.

It's been very frustrating, being on holiday witha dodgy connection during this event, but I was pleasantly surprised that the two fire-type starter pokemon were to be found in abundance. Much better than Totodiles in the water event!

Bath was pretty good, by the way. I saw a few Lapras but couldnt give chase as we were with family (I have a few already so it didnt matter) so they are out there! Took a great boat trip up the Avon which hatched two eggs for me

I think it ends tuesday night

When does this event finish? I need 5 more coins to get a bargain bumper pack of eggs.

Out most of the day yesterday in all different areas with incense on and no sniff of a lapras. My 10k eggs were sudowoodo and mantine. Ffs. Lots of cynquadil, houndor and ponyta.

Still 100k off level 32 but made good progress on it.

I'm sitting on my candy until the next double xp event. i haven't seen a sniff of a Lapras this event, luckily I have a couple already.

Our local rec is spawning doduo at a low rate since the nest change. It was houndoom before, and cyndaquil before that. Always one or two near the pokestop.

Still no sniff of a Lapras. I think I might actually cry if I don't get one on this event. I'm 16 cyndaquil candies off a full evolve, got 40 magmar and 40 sneasel. Just going to collect a few more tomorrow and then stick a lucky egg on and evolve everything; hopefully I'll level up to 29 as well.

Ahh okay that's a shame! I think I have all the baby Pokemon now apart from Tyrogue; all from eggs.

We've had magmar nests pretty locally and I didn't bother with them because I didn't know it was going to evolve and then when I did I thought I'd leave it because of this event! Oops :) I'd love a magby, I've hardly any baby Pokémon.

I have seen three Magmar shadows so far this event and been unable to catch them all! So desperately looking for one as I need one.

I do have a Magby I could walk if I had to, so all is not lost, but I would quite like that Magby to stay as a baby if possible.

I need 14 cyndaquil candies to do a full evolve and 15 sneasel candies to be ready for a weavile and I've done everything for fire and ice Pokémon except get 50 magmar candies for its future evolve. I've only seen one magmar so far though.

My pokedex is looking pretty good now :)
