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

I now have a second Zapdos, second Tyrannitar and a third (91% IV) Lapras!

Successful day so far Grin

Icouldbeknitting · 08/08/2017 11:26

We've been out with umbrellas this morning for Zapdos. I caught, my son caught and I think a third person caught out of a party of nine. The game was very glitchy though, three of us were thrown out before the end of the battle and someone else froze during the bonus stage.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 08/08/2017 08:41

Yes! I got my Zapdos! And it's 90% IVs too so an excellent one! Grin

Yesterday I got out of work early, went to change my address with my bank and went for a wander around the town I was in. Up ahead there was a group of people staring intently at their phones, so I dismissed my usual shyness and asked if they were on a raid. They were, it was Lugia and they failed to take it down. They stuck around to have another go and invited me to join them. I did so, and there were 10 of us. We reckoned that we needed an extra 10 seconds as it timed out.

We were obviously disappointed, and I would have stayed for another battle but the others had tried multiple times to take it down and had run out of revives and potions and called it a day. It was my first, and possibly only, legendary raid and I bloody loved it.

Yeah only one city in my country and that's half a day away on the train (what with changing trains and all)

DD starts school tomorrow so I'm going to walk her for the first week until she knows her way and that walk conveniently goes past the graveyard where there's a gym so I'm hoping to get my first gold gym badge this week.

And that extremely small city has had a few unown sightings, in the past. Never when I'm actually in it, mind!

PickAChew · 07/08/2017 23:07

It's not just cities though, is it? I can pass through 3 cities (admittedly, one of them extremely small) in a day's bus riding with DS1 (I did on Saturday and threw in a few towns, while we were at it). It's a very few, very specific cities.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/08/2017 22:38

It's a shame for those of you that can't get to cities Sad

cottonwool125 · 07/08/2017 22:24

Soubriquet there's no way I'm getting to a city either! Sad I'm in Norfolk, so nearest would be Birmingham or London, but I wouldn't want to travel there with DS without another adult! So will be a no go for me too.

Ruhrpott · 07/08/2017 21:46

I definitely have an advantage in working in a city on the list

Ruhrpott · 07/08/2017 21:27

This appeared at my desk today.

Soubriquet £54 for one person? That sucks. It cost just under £40 return for DH and I so that wasn't too bad.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 07/08/2017 20:58

We're popping up to London on Wednesday, so we're lucky.

I am annoyed about the city thing as city players have it so good anyway, multiple pokestops, lots of players etc.

Cost us £27 but I have a railcard and will travel off peak.

Soubriquet · 07/08/2017 20:41

£54!! Can't do it

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/08/2017 19:34

We went by train and that was almost as far out as yours; it didn't cost as much as I thought actually, I was surprised!

Soubriquet · 07/08/2017 19:32

Quick Google shows my nearest is 95 miles away

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/08/2017 19:28

Aww that sucks Sad

Soubriquet · 07/08/2017 19:27

Yep

Lincolnshire Sad

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/08/2017 19:24

Soubriquet Too far out to visit one? Sad

Soubriquet · 07/08/2017 19:13

Still peed off with not being in a city

So not fair!!

I have managed to evolve my duglett and machoke today too though so there is that

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/08/2017 19:09

Been to Manchester today and got a really high CP caught attention Kangaskhan! Also caught twin Unowns (E and P).

So that's another two in the Pokedex!
