Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

So many 5k eggs, but also the sads looking at where they came from on luffly summer hols. Sigh.

Thanks What. The Pichus look quite similar but I guess you'd know the difference seeing them in front of you. None of mine seem to be but I've had nothing but Pichus from the 2ks I've had recently it seems so that's annoying I didn't get one then LOL.

Just hope I have my hat Pikachu when it's all sorted out, not trading in any of them until I know things are sorted. Not had any display issues with any of my other Pokemon which makes it even more annoying. If they keep doing all the different hats then I'll need extra storage just for them. Haha.

Been out today and hatched one of the 5ks, got another Ponyta so seems I'm having better luck with 2s and 5s than the 10s. Typical!

Congrats ToadsforJustice!

Hatched a super shiny Pichu today!

Was it definitely your 7 day streak mummysparkle? Only because my streaks seem to have somehow desynced and a couple of times I've thought it was my 7 day stop streak but it was only the pokemon one.

MummySparkle That's strange; it should show your evolution item too.

BlooBagoo They've only recently been added. They're darker I've attached a couple of pictures of the difference between normal and shiny Pichu's and Pikachu's.

I think the pichu/pika displaying as hatted or none hatted is part of the display glitch, I've no hatted pichu but some of mine show as them each time I open my pokemon

My journal only shows balls, berries, eggs and potions.

Bloo- do you know that Pichu can be shiny and evolves into shiny Pikachu?

Oh I didn't know that, what do the shiny ones look like?

Anyone else having weird stuff with Ash hat Pikachus and Pichus. I thought I had accidentally evolved my only hat Pichu but today I have another there. But all the Pikachus have vanished. I was sure I had one or two still and I just traded a normal one in and I'm worried it may have been the hat one. :/

Got a snorlax from a 10k yesterday and was disappointed with igglybuff and non-shiny Pichu from 2ks. The 5k have all been dross recently

Hatched a 10km today- another Porygon better IV than my previous one too. Now on 35 candies, so hopefully one more hatch and I'll be able to get Porygon 2!

Hatched a 2km and 2 5km too- Krabby, Drowzee and Mantine. Very underwhelming especially as I walked around the block twice more to get them to hatch

MummySparkle Have a look in your journal - it'll tell you all the items you got

Yay! Both Snorlaxs returned 15mins either side of midnight 64coins for meeeeeeee! New incubator bought now too. Got 1 2km egg and the rest are 5s... borrrrrrribg!! Just put a 5km in from 15th august, need to clear them out!

Got my 7 day streak today, but I can't figure out which special item I got from it - can't remember what I had before to be honest. Still not got a kings rock to evolve my slowpoke though.

I might go out and find a raid later - fancy doing something crap / easy

Hatched natu,, elekid, pinsir, omanyte, slowpoke and pineco yesterday.

Pinsir was a new one for the Dex. Could probably have doe without the Natu which was a disappointment.

I got a spinarek from an egg at the weekend. Underwhelming doesn't quite cover it.

Bloo- do you know that Pichu can be shiny and evolves into shiny Pikachu?

My last Spinarak from an egg was 100% IV which was a great surprise.

Whoops sorry, meant to also say thanks for the sympathy.

I've definitely been loving the gyms more now, used to all be red and full of strong gyarados around here, so much easier to take one down now and it's good to see them changing colour more often. We also seem to have late night yellows going around all the gyms. I'm still not a fan of the coin limit as it's Sod's law all my Pokemon get knocked out on the same day but I'm probably getting more coins on the whole at least.

I knew you guys would understand. Back to a bunch of 5k eggs here too.

I've had quite the run of Pichus from 2k eggs recently so decided to evolve one for the XP, chose the wrong one - the only one I had with an Ash hat. Only realised when it was too late. Good thing I've been out in public both times so I didn't stand there crying and/or swearing.

I'm Mystic in a Mystic neighbourhood. The new gym structure works much better here than the old one as I struggled to get my pokemon into the gyms as I didn't level up much before last September then spent months on catchup. Last autumn one of the gyms barely changed in the best part of two months. Now, trainer level matters less although being on L33 is respectable, and it is easier for the sporadic Instinct and Valours to battle and get a turn.

I ran nearly 5k round the woods today gathering up 50 red balls on the go plus. I seem to have struggled to keep a good stock on them recently. I've had to dump lots of potions and revives to make space as I didn't have the need for 125 revives plus 60 max revives. I've had a daft number of max potions building up too. My blue and yellow ball stocks are healthy. I just seem to have struggled with the drop rate of red balls to supply the go plus.

Same, bloo! Gutted since I'd been waiting for a 10km egg for what feels like months. Back to a full stack of 5kms now.

That happened to me the other week, Bloo. I feelr you pain.

My 10km egg hatched today and I got a

Fucking Sudowoodo.
