There's no-one quite like Yanma, I'm sure you will agree

I might try to convince DP to download it onto his phone or swap. He'll probably say no because he thinks Pokemon is sad and it's the second time in 6 months I've smashed my phone so my track record with phones isn't good I may have done my iPad too

I've got such a busy few days coming up and then a holiday which I am stressed about, I'm having a full on case of FML at the moment.

My current aims are a gold gym (I'm so close now, I keep looking to see if there's a raid there as that will give it a big bump up), 1000 hours gym defending and L33. I may have all of them by the weekend. At some point I'll pop a lucky egg and fill in a few spots in the Pokedex but I'm reluctant to do that until this event is well and truly over just in case I would be better waiting.

Sounds like a good day, cotton wool. You may have inspired me to go to the lakes this weekend!

Good luck on the egg hatching thing! Let's check our progress at the end of August :)

Lovely goals Psamead id love to complete my Gen 1 pokedex but I am a long way off, so feel like that might not happen. I'm very close to my 100 egg hatch medal, I would love to reach that by the end of July which I am confident I will

Had a brilliant Pokemon walk this morning! Went to a lake for a walk with DS as the weather is so beautiful. I've been before but not for a few years so haven't ever played PoGo there.

-Added 2 new 'mon to the dex- Qwillfish and Dratini! Wanted to Pinnap Dratini but was too scared of it running so I Razzed it instead. Only 122 candies left!
-Caught a Goldduck, which I thought was a fairly good wild capture.
-Collected about 40 Magikarp candies. Currently walking my Magi but came across quite a few today, Pinnaped every one, so along with distance walked and the candies from catching them, made good progress on my Gyarados mission still only on 129 though

Lots of the other bog standards (Staryu, Goldeen, Poliwag), but gathered enough candies to do a few more evolutions and get stronger 'mon than I already had.

Oh and not forgetting, the most exciting part of the morning- hatching a spinarak from a 2km egg!

Does anyone have any goals for summer? Before September, I want to

Have gen 1 complete (excluding the usuals)
Take part in a four star raid
Have two gold gyms
Have my gold jogger badge
Have my gold defender badge
Have my gold electric type badge
Have a silver fighting badge

I think so, you're in the uk, right? For me it's 6 (cooking time) 8 (kids' bedtime) and 10 (I'm not going anywhere at 10!) but I might try to persuade my family to go to a restaurant with a few pokestops, or have a picnic somewhere between 6 and 8 so I can take part in two of the time slots!

So the slots for us are 5pm, 7pm and 9pm?

Oh nooo! :( Can you swap phones with anyone temporarily?

I've smashed my phone I'm using a very old iPhone that Pokemon Go doesn't work on. I'm going on holiday on Monday and won't have my phone fixed by then.

Ok, thanks psammead, I'll make sure I play during the time slots. 😁

Bloody pissed off

Just got my 4th sunstone!!

I don't want a bloody sunstone. I want a sodding dragon scale

You won't miss out on anything. Any benefits gained from the event will probably start after the event is over, which will be Sunday at the earliest. Catching a few Pokémon during the event times (there are three 30 minute time slots) will help. You don't need to catch anything specific, only the Chicago players need to catch type-specific.

New update has a few cool new features! Remote (but less effective) berry feeding will be good for stardust!

Woah psammead, sorry to hear you've been ill but yay for the chancey, what a beaut!
I don't really get what's happening with this Chicago event, a few folk on my local Facebook are getting together for it to play at the same time. However, I won't be able to meet up with them. I'm worried that solo players like myself are going to get left behind.

Only 4 more to catch and 2 to walk before complete pokedex. Hope gen 3 is in the offing!

Hi everyone, by the way. I've been at death's door the last few days, first time playing since Friday, and I caught a Chansey and a Dratini within 10 mins of leaving the house. I should be ill more often. On the other hand, I hatched a swineub from my 5 km egg which has been enticeing me with possibilities since Friday. But ho hum, it'll make a nice gen 4 one, it's good pretty good ratings.

I CAUGHT A CHANSEY!!

Wooooooooooooooohoooooooooo

I honestly think this means Primeape will be my last gen 1 poke, which is a bit pathetic

Snubull surprise here too! I have 5 decent snubbulls saved too and 181 candie. Weren't they in an event recently too? Thought they were relatively easy to come by!?

Snubbull are very rare here too. I think I've caught three.

I need a couple of hitmons, unown, miltank and a couple of babies to be able to complete my pokedex as the rest can be walked. Getting there :)

I've seen exactly 4 snubball gete. Caught 3 of em

Weird! Didn't realise Snubbulls were so rare in other parts of the UK.

@tumpymummy I'm thinking of buying the Moto G5S which is rumoured to be coming out at the beginning of August. My Moto G2, just isn't good enough now.

Snubble are non existent here. Though I did manage to hatch one and need under 1K of walking before I have enough candy to evolve it. Not seen a wild mareep either.

Snubbull is quite rare here too. I've only caught a couple when I've been elsewhere.

Hatched another Mareep. Had never had one then two in a row! The eggs were from the same pokestop so I wonder if there's something in that or just chance? Have another one cooking so could be Mareep #3?

having never even seen a Snubull or the shadow of one

How strange! Snubbulls are everywhere here.

Ugh if I hatch a Chinchou from a 10k my phone is going in the lake (the largest lake in my watery, Chinchou-infested biome).

Had a good couple of days for new Mons - Finally got Meganium (raids helped), hatched my first Giraffarig, hooray - and, having never even seen a Snubull or the shadow of one, I go-plussed a random Granbull yesterday. Surprised the go-plus got it as it was well over 1000 CP.

Went for a Tyrannitar raid today hoping there would be a bit of a crowd there, but no one. So I entered anyway hoping the lobby might be full of spoofers. Nope, just me. So after a while I decided to have a go anyway as I'd used the pass, just to see how long it took for my
Mons to die (not long).

Interested to see what happens next week with legendaries etc.

10k egg.

Chinchou
