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 don't know about Manchester but in the case of London, the spawns reach as far north as Watford and they've defined London as the area within the M25. If it's the same for other cities, then you may just need to be in the outskirts rather than central.

wartortle We are planning to go to Manchester; are they just in the centre? Do you know if you can find them at the Trafford Centre too?

("They" being both Kangaskhan and Unown.)

wartortle · 05/08/2017 21:16

If you can get to one of the cities it's fairly easy to get them all, though for us P and U were much rarer than the others, especially P (in Manchester) and others we met said the same (lots had EURO only). It was a train ride away and we got 4 kangas too though after the first we stopped hunting those and only caught what we came across.

No one was doing the Lugia raid, I had a bash at it anyway as I wasn't planning on doing any other raids that day so thought I might as well use my daily pass but gave up pretty quickly when I saw that I wasn't taking down its health at all!

Lugia is the hardest to take down; you need 12 - 14 to be comfortable at defeating it.

Would have to go all the way to Helsinki for a chance to catch Kangaskhan or some Unowns so that's not going to happen. Was hoping Tampere would be on the list as I'm going there on the 21st (have to be a witness in court!) but no such luck.

I am so envious- never had a Totodile so not even close to evolving

Why not just do loads of Crocanaw raids? They can be easily solo'd.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 05/08/2017 20:29

cotton, we chanced on a nest today and gave them the double candy fruit, twas marvellous!

Look at all those Unowns, look at them!

So jealous it's just city's, hope I get some next week, be gutted otherwise.

Damn lovely Feraligatr! I am so envious- never had a Totodile so not even close to evolving Sad

wartortle · 05/08/2017 19:49

They do spell Europe - these are mine :)

Namechanged because I posted them on fb (without the first custom named one!)

Evolved this fella today, very happy!

Booked tickets to London for next week.

I only go to raids that have been prearranged meet ups on the Facebook group. Today in the city centre though apparently there are masses of people playing Pokémon but it is one of the named cities with unknowns in

I went to 2 Leg End ary raids today, Lugia and Moltres. Both times I was the only person there so didn't bother. I took down another gym (only Nidoking and Blastoise) and stuck a Rhydon in.

There was a blue gym with spare slots so I stuck a 'Mon in and fed the rest a few berries. Normally the gyms here are yellow, so I am expecting both of them home later.

And yes, I did mean Leg End ary, it wasn't a weird autocorrect, just a strange mind.

They do however seem to be around where I work so might catch more in the week or are they only spawning at weekends?

Unown and Kangaskhan are about everyday through the 21st August.

On the weekends of the 12th and 19th, they're activating lure stops in those cities too.

I'm off into town tomorrow. So jealous of my raid friends all heading int here now but I can't go today Sad

Oddish · 05/08/2017 17:18

Unown right outside of my house! I may have cheered Grin i live in Birmingham, about 3 miles from city centre so the range does seem wide.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/08/2017 17:13

I'm thinking of going to London tomorrow and 5 Unown is a much kinder goal than 26.

When you catch an Unown, you have a greater chance of the next Unown you see being the same Unown as the last one you caught. So it's very hard to get different ones.

eyebrowsonfleek · 05/08/2017 17:11

Our FB group is going down to London tomorrow. Kids are with ex too so am excited!!

PickAChew · 05/08/2017 16:16

And the logistics of that day trip don't work for us, sadly. It would have been Manchester or Glasgow.

PickAChew · 05/08/2017 16:15

We got pounded in a lugia raid, today. Dozens of people around but ended up in a group with people using some really crap Pokemon.

Natsku · 05/08/2017 15:02

I see a lugia raid and there might actually be people as I'm in a busy place but its raining so not sure. Will go check after we've paid our bill anyway.

Ruhrpott · 05/08/2017 14:08

These are not mine!

The Ines I have seen that my Facebook raiding pals have caught today do seem to spell Europe

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 05/08/2017 13:16

They are saying they spell Europe in the Facebook group. I haven't seen one yet though but will be working in London in the week.
