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

There's a small park near me - it sometimes has something interesting in it (onix at the moment)

Without fail if I go to the park the Pokémon has gone - when I get home - it pops back up in sightings.

It's a 10-15 minute walk / I've been twice today and I even set off a lure to see if I could get the onix to come out - nothing

I can see it in my sightings again - taunting me!!

Dunphy

Flippin autocorrect!

I've seen 11 wild lickitung and caught eight, two of those outside of the event. The first one I ever saw my phone battery went when I was catching it, even worse was that my hubby then caught it ! I have 3 wild subphylum and I often see it at a local pokestop which is at a country park entrance. I suppose though you guys have a tonne of stuff that you see often which I never see.

I see Phanphy fairly often but only got 2 Likitung ever I think during the event

Really, are Lickitung and Phanpy rare? I have loads of them --feels chuffed

Yes, they are. Phanphys are particularly rare in the wild, and I've only seen two or three wild Lickitungs.

No gen1 starters in eggs any more.

I've had loads of Pokémon repeatedly break out, lots of flees too. So annoying.

Yup that glitch and your avatar losing colour seem to be the common graphical glitches amongst my raid group

Has anyone else got a glitch where some pics of caught Pokemon are just white boxes? I went in and out again but I still have a missing spinarak this morning!

cottonwool125 Yeah, it's their chance of you hatching them out of an egg, not their general rarity status in the game

For example, Phanphy's are a common hatch but they're exceptionally rare in the game (I've personally never seen a wild one).

In the Super Rare category, I would be most pleased to get Lickitung, because they're a rare spawn and they have another evolution in Gen IV, and you need the candies for it!

I'd also be happy with Snorlax (never have enough), Pineco (haven't yet got Forretress), Miltank (only have a poor wild one) and Misdreavus (has another evolution in Gen IV like Lickitung so need the candies for it).

PickAChew I caught a Dunsparce and a Wobuffet today on my way home from town!

When it says 'hyper rare', 'super rare' etc. Is that based on the chances of hatching them in eggs, or as they're banded in the game in general? Even if Shuckles are rare to hatch from eggs, for example, it doesn't seem to be one of those Pokemon that everyone is desperate to find to fill their Pokedex with. They often have nests and I know from watching YouTube videos that they spawn all the time in the USA. I'm assuming it's specific to eggs as it's an egg chart, but thought I'd ask in case it wasn't!

I'm a bit annoyed that Gen 1 starters have been removed from eggs . I'm no where near getting any of the starter evolutions from Gen 1. I'm not blaming Niantic, it's my fault because I stopped playing for so many months and missed a fair few of the events. It just seems an impossible feat to achieve now!

Since the 13 months since PoGo was released, I have gathered a grand total of...16 Bulbasaur candies so I doubt Venosaur will happen this side of the next few years

I can't think of one of those hyper rare species that I'd be pleased to hatch!

MummySparkle Makes sense they've taken the Gen I starters out of eggs as most people will have caught them during their events, and they're gearing up for Gen III in the next few months.

You can also get Shiny Pichu and Shiny Magikarp in eggs as well.

Egg changes here if you haven't already seen them:

Mostly good news, but no more bulbasaur - I'm going to have to walk to get my venusaur.

I've had a good few days. Defeated Articuno with a group from the raid chat, but didn't catch him. DP did Got an electaboz in a raid. Hatched loads of mostly rubbish stuff, but I did finally get a phanphy Span lots of stops too and stocked up on stuff. Accidentally put my 10km egg in my infinite incubator though - ooos! Got 2 10ks on the go and a 5k, fingers crossed!

PickAChew Oh yeah I know, they're piss easy to take down. I just would never use a grass against fire as fire is super effective against grass (like water is super effective against fire and grass super effective against water).

In all fairness, whattodo, taking down a quilava in a raid is hardly a challenge with any half decent pokemon. I certainly don't sweat what I'm going to pit against it, because it takes all of about 25-30 seconds, regardless, and spend 119 seconds tapping my fingers, waiting for the battle to start.

Now catching the bugger is a different story.

Well done wartortle! Had a great afternoon raiding with my bestie and the local group. It was lovely to help other people catch mon they hadn't got, and we both got an Entei and a Ttar :). It's good to be able to spin gyms with the pogo, and also to be able to have a bit of a clue about how many are in the gym - although it tended to vary depending on which phone/ carrier was being used to view it.

Not spotted the incubators, thanks for pointing it out, will go take a look :)

Crocanaw and Quilava, so both easy. Exeggcutor took them down, both in under 40 seconds

You used a grass Pokemon (Exeggecutor) against a fire Pokemon (Quilava)?

I had two days working in London this week and hoped to get Kangaskhan on my break.

They're not available anymore. Kangaskhan was only in certain cities until the 21st August.

I was surprised I got it today! It was very easy to beat (13 of us did it with 210 seconds left) but quite hard to hit with the ball because it jumps a lot.

Yeah, it's easy like Moltres was. My DH did it this morning with 8 and had half the time left, but of course it does depend on what level everyone is.

If you were all high level you could comfortably do it with 5.

I only have one premium pass now so I'm trying to decide if I want to buy more item storage or instead save coins to buy some more passes. I may buy a coin pack to do both (I limit myself to the £4.99 pack per month)

wartortle Congrats!

Yeah, in my own area it's not needed as we know all the players, but while we're on holiday it'll be handy.

I think we'll have to wait until the end of next week for Entei
