Yeah, I'm ok for sandshrew candy. I find it hard to get some of the ones that some people have no problems with - like, I've only ever seen two eggcecute in the wild and walked mine for AGES until I picked up eggcecutor on a raid. Ditto Grimer/Muk.

I took a detour on the way back from the hairdresser to pick up a Flaafy today. Pineap'd it and got a lovely 10 candies - that'll do nicely!

BSJohnson congrats on the shiny Magikarp!

There's a Muk raid going on in town at the moment. Which are the best Pokemon to use to attempt a solo raid?

KakunaRattata · 23/08/2017 16:53

Huh. No legendaries or shinies. Enough sodding karp about just no shiny ones.

BSJohnson · 23/08/2017 16:51

Interesting. I thought sandslash's biome was desert....

In other news, I caught a second shiny magicarp. DH is LIVID, as he's not got one yet. Grin
I have promised to swap if they ever introduce trading...

I live on farmland and I don't think one has ever spawned at home

It works on whether Pokemon Go records it as farmland or not, and if it's residential, it probably doesn't.

KakunaRattata · 23/08/2017 16:28

Snorlax! Downloaded a new keyboard and it has no remembered words!

MummySparkle · 23/08/2017 16:24

I saw two sandshrews on a beach, hatched 2 and caught 1 somewhere random I think. I live on farmland and I don't think one has ever spawned at home (whilst I've been there). Saying that it's mostly orchards & coppiced. Found a Stantler in the weeds a few weeks ago.

At big shopping centre today, I CBA with the raids, but I'm stocking up on balls and potions

KakunaRattata · 23/08/2017 16:16

I never seem to get anything good out of an egg! Walking a 10k and a 2k at the mo, would like a bulbasaur and a shoelaces but will probably end up with a krabby and a militank.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 23/08/2017 16:02

I didn't know they had removed Sandshrews from eggs! Was counting on one of my many 5ks to have one

Yeah, it was back at the beginning of June, so if you have an egg from before then you have a chance, otherwise not.

Here's the up to date egg chart so you can see what's in them: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/pokemongohub.net/generation-2/pokemon-go-generation-ii-egg-chart/amp/

Finally got another 10k today so hopefully something good, though knowing my luck with them it will be sudowoodo or skarmory! Also used gym coins to upgrade my bag storage which will hopefully let me stock up on some potions!

cottonwool125 · 23/08/2017 15:54

I didn't know they had removed Sandshrews from eggs! Was counting on one of my many 5ks to have one in Sad

Now walking Grimer- that's if I don't get a Muk from a raid before I reach 50 candies. Which seems more likely as I am only on 10 candies currently Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 23/08/2017 13:24

You get a lot of Sandshrew on Blackpool pier actually!

Yeah, they can of course spawn anywhere. It's just their natural spawn locations are farmland and quarrys.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 23/08/2017 12:05

Most of my sandshews came from eggs,

They're not in eggs anymore, unfortunately. Haven't been for a while.

Also, a Sandshrew's natural spawn location isn't actually the beach; it's farmland and quarry.

eyebrowsonfleek · 23/08/2017 09:23

I'm as far from the beach as you can be in the UK and have had Sandshrew nest at the local woods too.

KadabrasSpoon · 23/08/2017 08:11

I think I must find nests every so often at parks as I'm not near sand either. There's a lone one every morning at Euston station at the moment. Must be catching the train to the beach

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 23/08/2017 07:59

Most of my sandshews came from eggs, but I've seen a couple of wilds too. They're fairly rare, but I've managed to evolve two sandslashes. My local woods must have been a nest a couple of times. I'm a very long way from sand more significant than a sand pit!

KadabrasSpoon · 22/08/2017 21:57

Loving Andrew the Sandshrew Grin funny what's rare elsewhere - I have lots of Sandslashes. Always makes me think about doing a wee on the beach 'sandslash'

I've nearly finished gen 2 but got lots of walking to do for the last few.

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/08/2017 20:53

It's nest change at 1am. Hopefully you'll get what you need.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/08/2017 20:44

I've only ever caught one Sandshrew and that was in Lanzarote. I had to walk it to get my Sandslash, which I got today Smile

So I just need Dodrio to complete Gen I now (apart from regionals and Legendaries not yet in the game) Smile

LBOCS2 · 22/08/2017 20:15

Yes stops - it comes up blue (instead of green for a Pokémon you have, and yellow for one you haven't seen before). Can't spin gyms though.

MummySparkle · 22/08/2017 20:10

Does it alert you to being near pokestop stop? Can you spin stops with it?

LBOCS2 · 22/08/2017 19:58

MummySparkle, all the sandshrews are in Fuerteventura as far as I could tell. I caught loads while I was there.

I love my PoGo+. It really helps you level up without too much effort and I get so many Pokémon to grind now as well. Also a big improvement on having to keep the app open while you're walking so it saves battery and picks up all your miles for egg hatching.

MummySparkle · 22/08/2017 19:48

Is the pogo plus any good?

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 22/08/2017 19:11

Half marathon training and a pogo plus helps rack up the milage Grin
