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

I wonder who's knocked me out of a gym shortly after midnight... in the middle of a Safari park??? Oh well, that was 43 candy claimed and no guarantees of getting anyone in a gym today.

Done a mass lucky egg evolution tonight... now on Level 33, so just under a million xp between me and Level 34, and I've also evolved Tyranitar from a strong Pupitar after biding my time. It's been a while since I've felt much novelty value!

I've now walked Flaaffy 100k and nearly halfway to Mareep. I think I might try and switch to umbreon/ espeon for some variation soon. I have two from the name trick but their appraisal is poor. I chose them onto CP. I catch Eevees, but they rarely get a decent appraisal.

I'm pleased that the go plus will recognise gyms as a poke stop, it was mildly frustrating when some were "lost". I like the go plus when running as it means I don't have to wave my phone around, and manually spinning gyms wasn't always practical.

Now to send lots of spares to the professor... I hope he's got spare space for a pidgey invasion

No worries

Thanks found them now!

Thought I'd share.

Why aren't unowns in the pokedex? Or if they are what number are they?

They are; they're number 201.

There is rarely anything new about (I am still missing a fair bit) and even though we've been out and about in the holidays to new places I'm not seeing anything - snooze

I know what you mean Rude, I am swimming in Pokeballs but not very motivated to catch anything. I stock up on vermin for future double xp events but apart from that it's all a bit meh at the mo. Our few gyms are really static too, all low and rarely change colour. I take them over 'cos I can but there isn't much fight back at the moment. The players that were content with the 10 tier Blissey towers have all buggered off.

I like an event but I'm not interested in doing raids so disappointing- i need something interesting to happen so,
Feel like I am plodding along at the moment

I am going to become increasingly frustrated as I don't like holes in my 'dex!

Just regionals, legendaries, Unown and Miltank missing for me. I don't have all the sheep, yet, but have hatched a couple recently and have a Mareep as my buddy, so that's pretty much sorted.

I'm ready for gen 3! Hopefully, we'l move house around the time they arrive, from one piddling pokestop a mile away to one right across the road (plus another half dozen stops and gyms within 10 minutes walk of the house! I can't think why this one stood out as DS1's favourite out of all the ones we viewed)

It's not that I don't enjoy raids but it's a lot of standing around waiting for people to not show up or travelling to bigger towns.

Yeah, I can see why that would be annoying!

I'm lucky as I live in a small town where we have lots of gyms and stops, everything is walkable, and there's never any standing around because we all agree to meet at a raid at a certain time.

Oooh that's pretty cool! I think I might have to accept that I'm just not going to be able to do legendary raids though, I'm just never in the right place at the right time, even with the raid chat on!

I hatched a ponyta today, not overly exciting. Did a 4mile cycle ride, but PoGo only registered 2.1km which is a shame. I'm 8 coins away from another incubator. 8!!! So frustrating, but I mustn't buy any more.

It's not that I don't enjoy raids but it's a lot of standing around waiting for people to not show up or travelling to bigger towns. I miss hunting.

I wish they would make eggs more exciting, reward walking more.

Oh well, fingers crossed we'll bag a few of these new guys.

When they did a week of each legendary bird, I understand why it was too short. A month to catch all 3 is plenty in my opinion.
With Mewtwo added to the mix, it's just too much raiding for my liking.

I will be back here moaning about not getting an EX raid pass on 6th September. 😂

I'm annoyed that they are dragging it out rather than the regional bit.
Could do with a break from raiding.

eyebrowsonfleek It's not that regional really, since they'll all be moving around we'll still get a chance to catch them all

I wish they'd take a break on the legendary raids though. I love them, but I want a break!

Murkrow is good to sort out the dark medal.

Guess gen 3 won't be October

Next event!!

Not happy about regional exclusive legendaries

The one I'm most saving for is Mamoswine; it will be an absolute beast of a Pokemon. I pinap all swinubs I see

Oooh nice - thank you

...Also GIANT BLUE SPAGHETTI!

MummySparkle Check out this article on how to prepare for Gen III. If you scroll down it tells you what candies you should be saving: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.imore.com/pokemon-go-gen-3%3famp

However, there are no new evolutions in Gen III; they're all in Gen IV. You should still start saving now though, because with the release of each Gen everything will become more rare.

I've also attached a pic of all the new evolutions in Gen IV.

On an aside note, Murkrow. What is its fucking point?!?! They're everywhere, high CP so hard to catch, but not high enough to be of any use in battles. And they don't evolve...

Actually, Murkrow do evolve; they evolve in Gen IV into Honchkrow, and they're not bad Pokemon. In the picture I've attached, it's on the bottom line on the far left.

Prepping for gen III... what candies do I need to start collecting?

On an aside note, Murkrow. What is its fucking point?!?! They're everywhere, high CP so hard to catch, but not high enough to be of any use in battles. And they don't evolve... Gah. I can't think of anything so common but so utterly useless in gen1, at least nidorans evolve!

cottonwool125 Yes, they've added some Gen III data in, but not all (for example, sounds haven't been added yet).

It took 3 months after the Gen II data was added for it to be released, but there are a lot less Pokemon in Gen II than Gen III, so I would realistically expect it to take a lot longer.
