I got a random vorporean spawn

Oddish · 10/08/2017 14:20

Has anyone noticed rarer pokemon around over the past day or am I just having a lucky streak? Caught a granbull and a hitmonlee within seconds of each other last night which were both new to me and dh caught a Lapras & snorelax, new for him . I am in an event city. Idk, it was nice to see some new faces anyway Smile

Soubriquet · 10/08/2017 14:15

Thanks. I seem to have a lucky spot. Caught all 3 of them so far at the same gym

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/08/2017 13:52

Off kanga hunting....a kanga will be mine!

I have indeed got the gold badges for those gyms not that it is doing me any good at all. Sad. I will never visit the gyms again as they are on the other side of the world, at the end of a long trail and half way up a mountain. One of them didn't have a team in it when I visited so that's a bit of an indication as to how remote it is. I'm amazed it had 3G

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/08/2017 11:44

PokemonGo Wow! I guess at least you'll have got the gold gym badge for that gym? Grin

I love the new gym system too. I wish they would up the coin limit as 50 is hardly anything, but other than that I think it's fantastic.

PokemonGo · 10/08/2017 11:41

But you don't want to keep a gym for longer than 8 hours so you don't needn't good defenders like you used to.

😭😭😭 I have two Pokémon that have been stuck in a gym now for 37 days (and 8 hours). I'm wondering if they are ever going to come home. 😪😓😢😥

I love the new gym system. Even though there aren't many players in my town the gyms are changing hands regularly. It's fun. I miss getting 100 coins a day but 50 is ok especially as I don't spend my coins very often.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 10/08/2017 11:05

Mrsmomo Yeah, nests change every two weeks.

I put Blissey and Snorlax in gyms first of all, and then after that anything I like; Kangaskhan and Unown are current favourites. But you don't want to keep a gym for longer than 8 hours so you don't needn't good defenders like you used to.

Raid and gym fighting wise, it absolutely depends on what you're fighting as to whether the Pokemon will be good (based on movesets and type etc).

wartortle · 10/08/2017 10:36

The nests change every two weeks on Thursday, so there should have been a few switches since gen 2 :)

Nothing good near me this time unfortunately, the last few migrations have been awful for my area.

Mrsmomo · 10/08/2017 08:56

New spawns today? Interesting. We used to have an evee nest where I live, it was great til hen 2 was released and it changed to hoot hoot. Hoping it will revert back. Currently walking my blissey so I can power it up to max, it's been my best gym defender along with a strong vaporeon. I've a great wee Sakura which is doing well in gyms. What are you guys getting good results with in gyms/raids?

RudeDog · 10/08/2017 08:15

I go to the same large park every week whilst DD is in a lesson, the choices there are terrible now. You used to at least occasionally get something interesting (phanpy,pineco etc) hopefully new spawns with give me something other than hoothoot and sentret!

cottonwool125 · 10/08/2017 08:07

Oh and also if I could find a few Geodudes today, I can get Golem Smile

cottonwool125 · 10/08/2017 08:07

Nest migrations today!

Anything in particular you're hoping for near by? Smile

I'm hoping for a Machop nest somewhere near to me. I'm on 40 out of 100 for Machamp.

I'm three Magikarp off my Gyarados so I'm fairly confident that's going to happen today! I'm so excited Grin

LBOCS2 · 10/08/2017 07:48

I just saw the update, thanks eyebrows. Having checked the London PoGo map it appears that the golf course is no longer anything I want, so I have no more moral dilemmas about taking a quiet walk around an area of private land to catch a computer generated animal 😁

Also, they've moved to a park relatively locally to me so that's more convenient.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 09/08/2017 22:49

I'm feeling fed up with recent events being so location specific. I'm closer than 4 hours to the nearest city, but I can't justify the train fare and spending a day lugging the DCs around to catch particular pokemon. Even raids requiring more people are a pain to coordinate. I've tried the whatsapp for the local group, but the constant buzzing of notifications is deeply irritating to manage. It's currently closed for my sanity!

I'm just plodding on 2/3 through L32. Nothing exciting to evolve on the horizon (although I can get a second Blissey next time I do an evolution Smile). I'm not doing much more than maintaining my streaks.

70 candies left for my Flaffy buddy... that's potentially 350k Confused

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/08/2017 22:04

RudeDog Ahh that's very far Sad

eyebrowsonfleek · 09/08/2017 22:03

LBOCS nests change at 1am tomorrow so you'll have to track down the new Scyther location.

RudeDog · 09/08/2017 21:48

@WhatToDoAboutThis2017 about 4 hours by train to the nearest place to me - so unfair Confused

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/08/2017 21:15

Need to do a couple of one person raids to get more rare candies too, because it takes forever when they're 5k/candy.

I personally don't use my rare candies for anything but Legendaries.

LBOCS2 · 09/08/2017 21:02

Oh yes, What. I'm walking my Onyx for him. Need to do a couple of one person raids to get more rare candies too, because it takes forever when they're 5k/candy.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/08/2017 20:52

jennielou75 If you're in the centre you'll easily come across a few.

jennielou75 · 09/08/2017 20:47

Still haven't got a kanga yet and am now going to go into the centre of London to find one! The map shows lots of unowns but not kanga s. Does anyone know for sure where I can catch one?
