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

Im on 1867 hours defending gyms which is actually working out as me not getting many pokecoins. I've one mon that's been in a remote gym for just under 17 days. 😭😭😭

Generally I like the faster turnover of gyms.

tumpymummy · 18/07/2017 16:27

Someone asked earlier about good phones to play pokego on? I'd like to know too as I need to get a new phone.

Oddish · 18/07/2017 12:10

what yes I forgot to mention that it says 0 under treats. Good to know he's not starving Smile

Natsku · 18/07/2017 11:46

I put a pokemon in a friendly gym up a Lapland 'mountain' but figured I might never get it back so just put a furret in. Some poor sod had put a blissey in who was almost completely empty of motivation so I helpfully fed it back up Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 18/07/2017 11:16

Oddish Oh, and if you're going to mention the fact is says 0 under treats, that's your total gym activity - it only gets updated when your Snorlax comes out.

Hence it only says 12 hours and hasn't yet recorded the 3 days you've been in there.

So you'll be happy to hear it's not a glitch Smile

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 18/07/2017 11:14

This morning it is full again despite having had no treats

Someone else will have fed it; it's not a glitch. I feed other Pokemon all the time.

Your Snorlax will only come out when someone battles him out. You don't come out of a gym purely on low motivation (because it never empties unless you're batted out).

Oddish · 18/07/2017 11:10

I abandoned this snorlax somewhere on the outskirts of Northampton on our way back from camping and his heart has slowly emptied. This morning it is full again despite having had no treats Confused probably yet another gym glitch, I keep seeing people on FB who have 'lost' their Pokemon for weeks in glitch gyms that no one can battle. I'm sorry Snorlax! Come home soon!

I keep hatching 2km eggs but never are they pichu in a hat Sad

Keep getting machop and aipom

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 18/07/2017 10:41

I've got two 10k eggs on the go at the moment so fingers crossed one is a Porygon!

I had a 2k but it was not a Pichu in a hat Sad

Natsku · 18/07/2017 10:12

Haven't had any 10k eggs in ages and now I'm not getting any eggs at all. Have one 2k and one 5k incubating but nothing else to wait.

cottonwool125 · 18/07/2017 09:57

There's another just down the road too! But I will definitely be late if I go and catch that one as well Sad

cottonwool125 · 18/07/2017 09:53

I was nearly late for work this morning- he is the reason why! Grin

Took my daughters and DGD to Build-a-Bear at the weekend. The tiny ball of energy that is 5yr old DGD made a Pikachu and dressed it up. I've had no 10km eggs for ages and got 2 today and am 3.1km into the first.

Stuck a Vaporeon in a gym on Saturday morning, she returned this lunchtime along with 50 coins. I've put a Sudowoodo in a different gym today, hopefully he'll come back tomorrow with another 50.

Dillite2 Ahh that makes sense Smile

Dillite2 · 17/07/2017 07:39

what because she is 7 and has no phone of her own.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 17/07/2017 00:04

Dillite2 Yes it's possible to solo Level Two raids if you have the right Pokemon Smile

How come you and DD didn't tackle it together?

Dillite2 · 16/07/2017 23:13

I took down a 15k electabuzz all by myself today with only 5 seconds to go. Felt quite proud with myself there especially as dd had a go before me and lost miserably. That will teach her how to ignore my advice. She did take down a 5k bayleef afterwards, so not all was lost for the poor mite.

We also evolved our mareep into a flaaffy. Now I only need 99 candy for an ampharos. She's my buddy. It does give me the motivation to do more raids though.

Bimblesalong · 16/07/2017 21:41

Lovely aerodactyl. I have two gold gym badges. Also had one pop up for 1,220 hours of gym defending. :)

I need to learn about movesets, think it will help me take down they raids so much easier.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 16/07/2017 21:08

Finally got enough Abra candy for Beardy Two Spoons. Just Primape to go and Flareon for gen 1.
Hatched a Mareep today which is another new one. I usually get shite in 10k eggs so a pleasant surprise

RudeDog · 16/07/2017 20:42

@PickAChew Yates in Hartlepool- that's one tough Pokémon!! Shock

PickAChew · 16/07/2017 20:35

Hatched, ffs!

PickAChew · 16/07/2017 20:34

Had a chinchou.

Typing like English isn't my first language.

Incidentally, my well traveled blissey which spent a weekend at York minster has been guarding the angel of the North, this week. It deserved a treat after slumming it near a Yates' bar in Hartlepool, last week :o

PickAChew · 16/07/2017 20:31

I have a chinchou today, too.

At least it's evolvables into something quite useful. Though now we don't need to train, which was hideously expensive in monpower, the fire blast fodder isn't so essential. Ds1 and I took a gym down with just 3 omastar each, yesterday.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 16/07/2017 20:17

I had pikachu, squirtle and totodile on my nearby

Lures don't affect what's nearby. They don't "lure" nearby Pokemon; it's completely separate and random.

HandbagKrabby · 16/07/2017 20:13

That's a nice aerodactyl :)

I did a lure for the first time in ages as I was stationary above a pokestop and it was a complete waste of time. I had pikachu, squirtle and totodile on my nearby and dratini, snorlax, mareep have been spawning randomly locally and all I got was crap.
