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

My goals are gold gym defender (halfway there already), a gold gym and level 35 (level 34 is a long slog!)

I have less control over the other things, which is a sheep (which will probably be my buddy all the way until Christmas to fill up my pokedex!), a cow and a unown or 26.

I've heard the update will de-favourite your Pokemon if you click on them in a gym, or use the new gym button.
Haven't got the download yet myself, but worth keeping an eye out for.

I've updated the app and still can't get remote berry feeding to work ☹️ Anyone had any luck?

cottonwool125 · 20/07/2017 10:17

BSJohnson love the idea of saving all of your 10km eggs to hatch at once! Must have been so exciting Grin

Icouldbeknitting · 20/07/2017 08:31

I'm assuming that I haven't had the update for the remote feed as I can't do it although I can see the gym from here. (Not that I wanted to feed it, once they've done their eight hour shift they can come back home)

inniu · 20/07/2017 08:25

I have tried using the go to gym feature on 2 Pokemon that I put in gyms while in the US last week and it won't let me. Do you have to br close by to remote feed?

BSJohnson · 20/07/2017 08:24

No, no lucky egg, PokemonGo, (though I wanted to) as the first egg was an evening surprise, after gps drift while sitting in our holiday flat!

I suspect the rare candy will be the ONLY way to power up legendaries (if they are as rare as, e.g. shiny magicarp), so I'm saving all lot of mine, tempting though it is to max out all my Snorlax, ttar, dragonite, etc!

eyebrowsonfleek · 20/07/2017 07:38

In the (hopefully near) future, the rare candy could be used to power up your legendary or mythical Pokemon.

Kpo58 · 20/07/2017 06:58

I've just got to level 29! (I failed to level up in the x2 experience event as I could rarely get into the game).

Natsku · 20/07/2017 06:01

I caught a wild primeape yesterday though not a good one

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 20/07/2017 00:58

As far as I understand all it does is turn into a SINGLE candy of your chosen 'mon. That's very underwhelming..... am I missing something. .....

Nope, not missing anything. A rare candy turns into a candy for any Pokemon you want, which makes it pretty special.

Especially considering you usually have to walk 3/5k for a single one with your buddy.

PokemonGo · 20/07/2017 00:45

That's not a bad haul BSJohnson. I've seen some truly awful outcomes when people have saved up their 10k eggs. Did you use a Lucky Egg when you hatched them?

I'm saving my 10k eggs but I've only got three so far.

I've a question about 'rare candy'. As far as I understand all it does is turn into a SINGLE candy of your chosen 'mon. That's very underwhelming..... am I missing something. .....

BSJohnson · 19/07/2017 22:43

Well, got my nine 10km eggs in the end, and hatched them on holiday!

Chinchou (boooo!)
Dratini
Pineco (ffs)
Lapras
Snorlax
Mareep
Miltank
'Nother Mareep
Sudowoodo (but I have a soft spot for them, so I don't mind really)

It was a very exciting few minutes, given the good haul, and the dc took turns tapping the eggs. I may have woken them up at ten pm to do it, but hey, we're on holiday. Grin

Reception here (Wales) is terrible, but we are by the sea, and have already caught a dratini and a dragonair, excitingly. Sadly the gyms are all resolutely Instinct, though, and I just cannot keep Pokemon in long enough to claim!

HandbagKrabby · 19/07/2017 22:20

Chinchou out of my 10k egg. It's not even my best chinchou. It's my third best chinchou.

On a better note I'm now very close to being able to evolve bellossom, alakazam and primeape. Got my eye on hitmonchan next. I can't face walking dratini, larvitar, chansey or mareep for hundreds of miles so I'm going for some easy wins instead.

TrashPanda · 19/07/2017 21:29

I'll try and convince him or ask him to swap phones with me. Really can't afford even the cheapest one at the moment with birthdays and holidays.

Icouldbeknitting · 19/07/2017 21:28

I try to have four or five Pokemon in gyms if I can manage it. If they all come home together then it's just one of those things. On a good day I used to get 30 coins so picking up 50 on a regular basis is better than I used to do.

I had two 10km eggs hatch today. They were so exciting that I can't remember what they were.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 19/07/2017 21:26

We put our Pokemon in several gyms at a time. Even though we're in a small town they're very unlikely to come back on the same day.

DoctorTwo · 19/07/2017 21:15

That's awfully bad luck BumWad, and also the reason I keep only one Pokemon in gyms at a time. Currently it's a 1440CP Sudowoodo that's been away for 3 days in an urban gym.

Glad to see you're well Spammy, and congrats on your wild Chansey. I've never seen one in the wild so am well jel. I'm only 50km from Blissey! Should have her by next weekend.

It's always lovely to get new 'Mon isn't it cottonwool125

@TrashPanda, how about using your DH's phone to access your email and play from that, promising to delete the app on your return from holiday? Or pop into a 2nd hand shop to get a cheap phone?

I sympathise with all those who hatched Chinchou from 10km eggs having had the same experience. I'm willing to bet my other 10k egg is the same as I got it from the same place.

BumWad · 19/07/2017 16:42

In a mood now. Hmm

BumWad · 19/07/2017 16:38

I didn't know about the 50 coin limit. HmmSad

BumWad · 19/07/2017 16:38

That is absolute dogshit! All my Pokemon have decided to come home today. Bah.

TrashPanda · 19/07/2017 16:34

Have you definitely not had any other Pokemon come back today? Overnight, just past midnight?

If not, I have seen on some sites that it may be a bug that Niantic are working on and you should get your coins when they fix it. Not sure what the bug is or how true the rest is though.

Icouldbeknitting · 19/07/2017 16:33

There is a maximum reward of 50 coins a day so if your Rhydon followed something else home and you'd already reached your 50 coin daily limit then yes, you get nothing.

I had a 50 coin payout sometime in the small hours of this morning so anything else that returns today will come home empty handed.

BumWad · 19/07/2017 16:29

My Rhydon has just come back after defending a gym for 11 days and I have had 0 coins!!!! Angry

Anybody else encountered this?
