Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless. Wink

gymhuntr sounds useful - not in range of any gyms in my house so never know when there's a raid on.

Oddish · 28/07/2017 16:05

Remote berry feeding is working now!

I use gymhuntr to plan walks Blush I always use it on private browser on safari though because I'm scared of getting banned Grin

Guys, you need to check out this site!
https://gymhuntr.comm^

Lol, I know I'm being a bit daft but I don't use sites like that as it feels like I'm missing the point of the game. It's the getting out and about and stumbling upon random 'mon and an unexpected empty space in a gym that I enjoy.

I not saying I wouldn't use them if I lived somewhere really rural though. Blush.

NikiBabe · 28/07/2017 14:31

Ah that's ok then.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 28/07/2017 14:04

Aww sorry NikiBabe Sad Lugia is staying to the end of the legendaries so you've got time yet Smile

NikiBabe · 28/07/2017 14:03

I found a massive group and managed to win a lugia raid but didnt catch the pokemon Sad

Guys, you need to check out this site!

gymhuntr.com

Put in your location and it tells you all about the gyms in your area - whether there is a raid going on there (and if there is, what raid including end time and Pokemon Level), how many Pokemon are in so you know if there's an empty slot, who owns the gym and a gym history too so you can see its turnaround.

It's amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you're in a rural area so you don't have to travel if there's nothing out there.

I have two gold gyms, the two I can see from my settee. This is because I've been nipping out to raid there whenever there's something I can take down solo. They are also the two that I walk past at least once a day and they are now dropping a pleasing number of items.

Seeing as I wasn't about and didn't feel like I was playing much the double XP and bonuses still mounted up. I did use a lot of lucky eggs.

I'm now over a third of the way through level 38 and seeing as I dont ever pay for things or use Facebook groups, Discord or scanners etc I think that's high. I got over a million XP over the event. That's a LOT - some people must have got a lot more. My main tactic was pineapp'ing pidgeys low brow . I've also been able to take and retake gyms a lot more since the new gym system. It's so much better. I've THREE gold gyms they on on the other side of the world in very secluded spots e.g. at the end of a trail up the side of a mountain (but with decent 3G👍🏻👍🏻). I got them on my recent business trip. The mon have been in the gyms for 25 days now..... 😎

I've also now gone from having no hope of getting a Blissey to getting a crap Blissey to getting two good and fairly well powered up Blisseys thanks to two lucky eggs. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

No legendaries but I'm cool with that and not bitter at all 😹 🤔

jennielou75 · 28/07/2017 09:24

I can't complain too much as I am now half way through 36. 1,000,000 xp over the event is not too bad!

NikiBabe · 28/07/2017 08:52

I got one last lucky egg in and now only 60,000xp away from level 36.

ThatsWotSheSaid · 28/07/2017 08:07

Sad I was waiting to do an egg. Arrgh.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 28/07/2017 03:01

Me neither Sad Event must be over.

NikiBabe · 28/07/2017 02:16

Not getting double xp or candy

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 27/07/2017 23:27

I hatched several 5km eggs today - 2 were Swinubs?!?! Worst ever

No they're not! A swinub egg hatch is perfect because in Gen 4 Piloswine evolves into Mamoswine, and it's amazing! I pinap swinubs simply for the candy so when the time comes I can get several Mamoswines.

You rarely get good swinubs in the wild so to hatch one is great.

RudeDog · 27/07/2017 22:24

Did my evolving - didn't quite make level 30 Sad

I've never seen a Girafarig!! Wish my parks would have them

PickAChew · 27/07/2017 22:18

Nests (mostly in parks, but there's mini nests elsewhere - there's matching frequent spawn points at either end of my street) are great when you're building up to an evolution - that's how I got all my starters evolved, plus things like Onix and Slugma, which aren't that common unless there's an event on.

They're not so interesting when you've got everything, though. There were 5 Girafarig at once in the park area in front of Newcastle Civic Centre at lunchtime. Ignoring the fact that they were our local frequent spawn point back when Gen 2 was launched, just how many of the freaky 2 headed buggers do you need?!

I managed to refil my bag, today, anyhow and do lots of sppppinning, catching and evolving, to the tune of about 65kXP. Hatched a larvitar with loads of candy, which is v useful. Also hatched a Krabby and sodding sudowoodo!!!!! They are still in 10K eggs, dammit!

cottonwool125 · 27/07/2017 22:06

RudeDog well it was meant to be extended for 72 hours after the original end time, which was 1am Tuesday. So I think it should be tomorrow morning. Although don't take my word for that Confused

I'd do all of your evolving/lucky egg sessions tonight just in case or you'll be kicking yourself if you don't and it does end at 1am tomorrow!

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 27/07/2017 21:51

Caught loads out this evening, was at a funfair on a green bit, not sure if that counts as a park.

RudeDog · 27/07/2017 20:36

Can someone confirm does it end 1am Friday or Saturday morning?!?

I need to do an evolve session with a lucky egg and don't want to mis time this!'

Lovedlost · 27/07/2017 19:36

Rude - I think they have just started notifying us of nest rotations. It has always been regular, but somewhat secretive.
TheSilphRoad always published nest migrations via user confirmation. Now that they have 2 Niantec staff on Reddit, I am seeing more things like this being published.
Reddit have been ripping the APK and spoiling surprises for months now - purely because there were rarely any confirmations from HQ. Pleased to see that the player input is being acknowledged at last.

RudeDog · 27/07/2017 19:01

Just had a Pokémon update message saying there are lots of interesting Pokemon in parks - this is a lie - just came from a park - full of same old crap.
