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

What. Ahh, I see what you mean. I assumed it was a very slightly demotivated 10CP 'mon - if not then it would definitely not taken three battles even if you attached it with the crappiest 10CP mon

Need to decide which of my 3 mareep to evolve into a flaafy. Not quite enough candy for amphoros, yet.

Since Ampharos is the best electric in the game behind Zapdos, if you don't have a Mareep over 90% IVs that's a high CP, I would suggest waiting.

It's a Pokemon you definitely want to make sure you have the best of the best because it's so good.

Glad I've been too lazy to do my lucky eg session. Need to decide which of my 3 mareep to evolve into a flaafy. Not quite enough candy for amphoros, yet.

Hatched a strong dratini from a 10k egg on my run. Always welcome! Frustratiningly, out of 18k run, the go plus only picked up about 10k. The battery came up as low level so I don't know if that's a factor in addition to a few points where I realised it needed reconnecting. That's a buddy candy and an egg missed out

I'm glad a proper event accessible to all had finally come up. I've felt the monotony recently.

I took down an 8CP slugma today. I'm hard-core

If you are fighting a pokemon that has full or nearly full motivationnit alway takes three goes. It makes no odds if it's a 3000 blissey or a 10cp pidgey

Yeah, I knew that; I just assumed since she said it was already down to 8CP that it wasn't anywhere near full health

I am surprised it took three goes to get rid of, though, especially since it only had 8CP

BTW. I've been using a go-tcha and been really liking it but it's stopped working. I can charge it and program it as usual but it won't sync with pokemon go. My old go+ still works ok. I'm wondering if Niantic has hexed it.

Surprisingly, it didn't do any damage at all to my gyarados.

Why is that surprising? Gyarados is one of the best Pokemon in the game, almost god-tier, and Shuckle is one of the worst in the game (for comparison, Shuckles Max CP is 300, while Gyarados is 3281!), so I would be exceptionally surprised if it managed to knock even one hit point off your Gyarados.

A double stardust event is much better than a double XP event; stardust is just so rare. So I'm really happy about that

The new spawns in 2km eggs is also going to be brilliant.

DoctorTwo forgot it was triple XP for new Pokemon! Did a lucky egg session this afternoon, and evolved two new ‘mon- Porygon 2 and Politoed wish I had remembered to save them for the weekend!

Just hatched my first Tyrogue and this morning DD hatched her first Chansey. Much better than a Sudowoodo (and I'll ignore the Spinarak I hatched today too )

Tried another Entei raid, 5 of us managed it with just seconds to go but couldn't catch it.

Hoping that they'll still do a Halloween event next month so we can farm Gengars for Mewtwo.

OOOh wartortle that looks good!

My heart breaks.

I waiting, I returned to the pokestop many times. But alas, togetic did not spawn.

I wanted double xp too

I just hatched a Skarmory from a 10k egg. Bastard. I want to wring its neck.

Ohh I love a new event but I wanted double XP for evolving. 😭😢😥😓😪

Still it's better than a poke in the eye 😊

New event, and super incubators!

Took down a gym this morning that had cp10 (presumably) shuckle in it. It was already down to cp8, when I got there. The bugger still tok 3 goes to get rid of.

Surprisingly, it didn't do any damage at all to my gyarados.

I managed to raid a quilava after resetting the phone earlier.

Am now stocked up on red balls ready for my run later. Just started a 10k as I'll run that and hatch it in one go. Used some rare candies to drag my Flaaffy up to 70 candies.

That sounds a pain about the raid glitches.
I'm off for a foreign city break for a couple of days. Looking on gym hunter I can see our accommodation is on a gym 😁😁😁

Touch wood I've had no problems on raids since I started switching my phone off and on while I am on the way there. Restarting the game does nothing for me, restarting the phone seems to have fixed it.

Last raid of the day yesterday was at a pub. We had lemonade and a chat in the sunshine, the baby was passed about for a cuddle and it was all very civilised.

Wasted a gym pass on a gym with a bug earlier. I'd gone out of my way to try and get an exeggcutor because it was managable on my own, and 4 times I'd had to wait the two minutes to get into the raid for it to freeze out as the raid started before conceding it was time to give up. I've tried resetting my time settings twice now. There's no point in even thinking about joining up with a bunch of random people across town to try to take on a legendary if it'll just freeze out like that.

Tomorrow, I need to finish a restock of red balls and clear space ready for another 10 mile run

AIBU to have arranged a meet up with my pals tomorrow at the local golf club. (None of us play golf). Since I started using Discord and scanners the other week I've realised that the golf club is an amazing hot spot. It gets all the best Pokémon and it's a pokestop. 😂

I have no shame.

Woo hoo I hatched my second ever Tangela today. Makes a nice change from the usual 5k crap.
