Pokemon Go #10. See ya later Feralligator, in a while Totodile

Caught 2 dittos this morning - what is the point of them

A Ditto can be good in battle if it's a high level with good CPs, and the random moves it assigned are better than the original Pokemon.

When you battle with a Ditto, it turns into a copy of the other Pokemon to mirror it.

I did see one in a gym. Annoying as I was in Florida and never caught one

I've got a Taurus

Not a fantastic CP but I got one.

My pokedex has started saying I've seen a Tauros this week - but are they only regional?

They're only regional in terms of being able to catch them, yes.

But your pokedex counts any Pokemon you've seen in gyms as well as in the wild, so sounds like someone's been to America, caught one and come back to put it in a gym.

Gutted saw a shadow (an actual shadow) in town and couldn't get to it

Aww I love Phanphys I just got my second Donphan so very happy!

Phanpy party!

I think it would be a good idea if each Pokemon could have a notes feature - so you could put in some comments about what they're good at or for and so on.

Poppy, that's cool! Heracross is pretty good.

Haha, yup! Priority number, name, and then a D or A according to whether it's a defender or attacker (or both!).

Chuffed to bits - in Florida on holiday and I've just caught a Heracross! No sign of a Tauros yet though.

Ahh okay, that explains the numbers in the names!

My highest, as in CP, are a bit different. Rhydon is in there, as is my other Gyarados etc. I prefer to sort them by A-Z and have renamed them according to how good their move sets/evaluations are, so I know which ones to power up.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion No, I've never seen a Chansey in the wild either. I've only ever hatched mine to get my Blissey.

My highest are my Gyarados, two Vaporeons and then two Rhydons.

One of my best attackers, my only Jolteon, has won 400+ battles, but he's only 1627 CP. It wasn't worth the stardust on powering him up because it wouldn't make him any better; he can beat very high CP waters as he is.

... and big daddy, who needs lots of powering up still.

I've never even seen one Chansey. Not one.

Here are my best gym attackers, and one defender

The only worthwhile psychics are exeggutor.

Best psychic in the game currently is Espeon, followed by Alakazam.

PokemonGo 78 battles is the total number of battles that particular Pokemon has fought in that gym. Unless you're seeing it as you go into battle, then it's the total number of battles your Pokemon has ever won (for example, my Jolteon is nearly at 400 battle wins altogether). But you see that before every battle with that particular Pokemon and it grows as you win.

Sorry for typos. It was the tears in my eyes thinking about Dillites blissey 👁👁💦

Dillite. That's bought a tear to my eye 😁. I've seen four chanceys and whilst I'm really really really really impatient and frustrating I know that one day when I finally get my blissey it will all be worth it. This is the type of deep joy that I'm glad the spoofers and cheaters miss out on. 💕💕💕

I'm going to be pretty stoked when I finally get a shiney gyrados - it's going to happen one day right ????? I've caught well over a 1000 magicarps so far so statistically speaking if I catch another 3000 (😭) I feel I should get one 🤞🏻

Ps I do know stats don't work like that but I live in hope.

My Blissey cost me my only Chancey, I do have another one that we caught in the wild but it is rubbish and only 200cp. A year of gaming and only 2 chanceys! I do look forward to sticking my Blissey into a gym though.

BTW. That's a lovely Blissey.

I've enough candies for one but nothing worth powering up.

Can someone explain the Stats for the gym badges. I've got some silver badges but no gold ones. I guess they are for mega players.

Does it show how many treats you've used on all the gym rather than just those on your own 'mon
One gym says my 'mon has fought 78 battles?? That sounds too many ? Or is it the total number of battles I've fought in that gym - which sounds more plausible. (Sorry to be lazy and not look it up myself).

I'm still not getting my Pokémon to return to me. I've some stuck up at the top p of mountains and at the ends of long hikes - they have been there ages. They must be lonely and hungry 😞

Lovely Blissey by the way Dillite.

The gyms round here are starting to change colour regularly too, refreshing! I've stocked up on potions so I can take gyms down just cos I feelz like it.

I can see the 10 tier blissey tower owner interests are waning and so many other players piling in.

My favourite gym bunnies, aside from my blissey, under the new system.

Awesome arcanine ha been gone since Wednesday, now and just a walk in opportunity for a rival team.

I've noticed a change, this week. 90% yellow and blue with only occasional red. It's been odd being on the dominant team.
