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

Apparently the Unown spell EUROPE. Can anyone on here confirm? Shame that they didn't go for EUROPA as the word so we could get that extra A.

Woke up to find a Kangaskhan in my bedroom. That was a surprise! I ran to catch my first unown on Tuesday and now they're all over the place. I think it's a bit rubbish that it's only in cities though. I've joined my local Facebook group and been to two raids. Luckily it's a closed group so none of my grown up friends can see that I'm playing!

My DH just returned from a walk with the baby and told me he'd caught an "angry looking kangaroo and a black thing" Hmm I didn't know about the event and told him that the former weren't available in Europe... checked his phone and had to apologise Grin
He's just taken her back out and refused to take my phone with him haha!

Ruhrpott · 05/08/2017 10:27

I'm lucky I live just outside of the the towns and work in the town (but not the town centre). Also have a good active Facebook raid group so have been able to catch legendaries

TrashPanda · 05/08/2017 09:37

Oooh I'm in Rome from 11th to 14th so I might have some luck with them. Only just got my repaired phone back so haven't been able to do any raids yet. At work today so still no chance. Hopefully tomorrow will have lots.

Igneococcus · 05/08/2017 09:15

Psammead I'm feeling the same.
It's just lucky that I need to be in Glasgow during this time (if you can call it lucky having to go on a 3 hour train ride each way just to get your thyroid biopsied) or I would feel even more frustrated. I better catch a Kangastan or an unown while I'm there or I give up/

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 05/08/2017 09:11

I'm starting to wonder why I bother playing this game as a fairly rural player! No legendaries, no city within a 3 hour drive which has these Unown etc.

Niantic, why do you haaaate meeeee!?

Igneococcus · 05/08/2017 09:07

Pinkblink it says till the 21st

pinkblink · 05/08/2017 09:04

How long are the going to be available in these cities? I'm going to Manchester.... in 3 weeks 😩

Smashie11 · 05/08/2017 08:58

Someone on my fb Pokémon group is in Glasgow this morning and already caught 4 kangaskans and loads of unowns. I'm taking the kids through today - will report back later Grin

Igneococcus · 05/08/2017 08:28

Oooh, I'm Glasgow on the 14th, I have about 3 hours free time there, that would be awesome if I'd catch a Kangastan and/or Unown.

eyebrowsonfleek · 05/08/2017 07:38

Just had a look at the London map and there's lots of Unown- definitely taking trips now.

DeepfriedPizza · 05/08/2017 07:33

So happy my regular stomping ground is on the list Grin

tumpymummy · 05/08/2017 00:49

Oooh I shall be in Manchester this w/e although not central. Here's hoping I see something good. In fact this evening I had to leave the house to visit the pokestop down the road for a Hitmantop. I've never seen one in the wild before. Got it with a special raspberry and an ultraball. Smile

eyebrowsonfleek · 04/08/2017 22:05

There was an Unown in our town too. Our town has a lucky post code which spawns at least 3 dragonite a week as well as other rates like Unown.

Can get to London and Birmingham so will be following Internet chat to see how frequently Kanghastan and Unown spawn so that I can narrow down the search area. (I know London has a map but it's too big to travel around quickly)

ojalele · 04/08/2017 19:48

Humphh... none in Belgium :-(. They picked some small cities in the Netherlands but missed out Brussels and Antwerp

Icouldbeknitting · 04/08/2017 19:43

We had much excitement this morning as there was an Unown in town. There was one to the north yesterday too. In my dreams it moves south again tomorrow and spawns in my kitchen.

I can dream.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 04/08/2017 19:41

I did my first raid today. I'm always a bit late to the party! A few people joined my raid but I couldn't see them. I was a bit confused but now I've done one it all makes more sense.

I'm excited about the regionals but I also feel like they should be left as regional? I'm still going to catch them though if I see any Grin

Same RudeDog. Nowhere near me neither Sad

RudeDog · 04/08/2017 19:20

Nowhere near me - nearest are over 3 hours by train Sad

PickAChew · 04/08/2017 19:14

Railcard valid until 12th august!

PickAChew · 04/08/2017 19:13

I feel a day trip coming on.

Cakedoesntjudge · 04/08/2017 18:40

Managed to pick up another moltres today after doing 3 raids - DP has now done 8 Moltres raids and is yet to get one 🙈 he is beginning to get a little bit stressed about it now! I do feel for him. He only got one articuno too and hasn't managed a lugia yet either. He's said if he doesn't get mewtwo when that one comes out he's giving up entirely! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him.

We were discussing who seems to be catching them today with the group at the raid. All of us said we'd noticed the people at the low level 20s were catching the legendaries much more easily than people that were high 20s/30s - not sure if it's just coincidence though!

Natsku · 04/08/2017 18:16

Saw my first legendary raid yesterday!! Unfortunately I was running late to pick DD up from daycare and I couldn't see anyone else there anyway so didn't bother trying but at least I know now that they are happening in my small town.

NikiBabe · 04/08/2017 18:08

Has to be London Grin
