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

Can I ask about powering Pokémon up?

I have a 1500cp Lapras that I hatched with 30 candies. If I power it up the cp goes up 36 and the hp goes up 2 each time. Is this how people have got 3000cp+ Pokémon? It sounds insurmountable so I'm wondering if I've missed something.

I have a 800cp growlithe, a 1000cp ponyta and a 600cp charmander to evolve at some point!

The event has been brilliant. I caught two Lapras today. Also got enough candy to evolve Houndoom and Typhlosion. Just Hitmontop, Amphoros and Unown to go for gen 2. I also went for a couple of walks with lucky eggs so I'm 250k into level 34. I wonder when the gyms will start working.

Growlithe, that should say, not Arcanine as that is it's evolved form

Still haven't got the evolve of the angry blue fire otter thing though.

Really? They (Cyndaquills) were like Pidgey's here; got nearly 200 candies.

Need to evolve my best Charmander, Cyndaquill, Vulpix, Houndoor, Pikachu and my super awesome high CP Arcanine

But it will take a lot of studying to make sure I pick the right one, and I don't want to get it wrong! So will take a few days before I evolve.

So pleased the fire event went an extra day so I could finally get a Charizard. Still haven't got the evolve of the angry blue fire otter thing though.

These are my gaps, I can walk the others, perhaps I'll take up ultra marathons...

Snorlax 10
Hitmonlee 10
Yanma 5
Unown
Hitmontop
Militank 10

To hatch
Pichu 2
Igglybuff 2
Elekid 5
Magby 5

I've not even had a Mareep. I missed one a few weeks ago - it spawned for DS1 but not me.

Will have to check back on the rings when it's all working, then. Went shopping this evening and they were all back on the way home.

Now that the event is over I've evolved my best Houndour and Cyndaquil and finally have a Houndoom and Typhlosion.

Other than the regionals, I think I now just need Amphoros, Tyranitar and Unown for Gen 2, and the first two I will, eventually, get from buddying. Still waiting for an elusive Tangela to complete Gen 1 though. ::sigh::

Yey, my Go Plus is finally talking. Not that I've got any great catching plans in the next 24 hours. Hopefully my streaks will restart tomorrow...

Yes, the extra XP has got me to 3/4 of the way to Level 28.

I don't think that's what the rings are for, PickAChew. The ring explanation says:

There’s also now a “visual indicator” for unvisited Pokéstops, specifically a little blue ring that surrounds the little in-game icon. It appears that it’s meant to give players a little nudge towards exploring areas they haven’t been to before, encouraging that all-important aspect of exploration for this game.

It's a glitch at the moment that they're not going away once spun, but they should soon if all the info I've read is correct.

I'm missing the extra XP more than the fire pokemon. Some of those things needed too many big balls and berries to catch! My bag's a bit depleted, now.

It looks like the ring around a pokestop indicates whether a half hour has passed since you last spun it, so you can get the right pokestops for a spinning streak (needs to be 10 different ones, within half an hour).

After a last minute dash we managed to get enough candies to evolve another charizard and a typhlosion and my egg hatched a bulbasaur so I have a venusaur too! Brilliant event, it's back to weedles for a bit now

Nothing wrong with a traffic jam sometimes

Was hoping to hit level 29 with the event - 2/3 way there though
I know level 30 will be a slog unless there's another event soon

Ooh new title screen!

Haha loving the title too! New thread already wow

Ha ha love the new title

Had a good day today; caught a Totodile and a Croconaw! Was very happy. Also a pikachu, Sunkern and Oddish... all of which I need more of for their own evolved forms.
