Dillite2 That sucks about it being so low; very unlucky.

jennielou75 · 31/12/2017 10:15

Someone on here posted that you type evolve into the search box and all the Pokemon with enough candies are listed! I am going to do that for my next evolve.

Dillite2 · 31/12/2017 09:47

Oh, glad it's not just me who has that glitch.

What I honestly hadn't noticed or have forgotten that swinubs were in eggs. These days I hatch one or two 5k eggs per month as I just don't have the time to play and DD prefers the dragon game. I just checked that swinubs IV. 66%. So it isn't even a good one.

tumpymummy · 31/12/2017 01:20

Yes that glitch is very annoying. Want to do an evolving session to evolve some of the new ones, but holding off until they sort it.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 31/12/2017 00:38

Dillite2 Swinub has been in eggs for a long time, and I’m really glad they are - they’re not a disappointment at all!

In Gen IV, it has its final evolution in the form of Manoswine, and that Pokemon is an absolute beast; very powerful. You want the highest CP and IV combination possible, and a hatched Swinub is a keeper for that very reason.

My DH pinaps every Swinub he sees as he wants an army of Mamoswines; he has over 1700 candies for them Grin

Also yes, everyone has that glitch. It came with the last update and hasn’t been rectified yet.

Dillite2 · 31/12/2017 00:05

When did they put swinubs into 5k eggs? Hatching that was a disappoinment and a half.

Is anyone else having this annoying thing when transferring pokemon where pokedex takes you back to the top instead of staying on, let's say, pidgey? It is driving me mad!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 30/12/2017 18:11

DoctorTwo Thanks! That sucks that you haven’t caught one yet Sad You’ve still got a bit of time left though Smile

DoctorTwo · 30/12/2017 18:06

Great catch WhatToDo, I'm slightly jealous as I've beaten 5 Groudon and not caught one. I caught a Barboach today and a 10km egg hatched another bloody stick.

Bimblesalong Thanks! It’s definitely my best ground Pokemon.

Also congrats on your 100% Slakoth! That’s definitely one you want to be so high Smile

Bimblesalong · 30/12/2017 17:25

Well done what to do! What a bruiser!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 30/12/2017 17:15

Woohoo! Just raided and caught a 96% Groudon! Considering how amazing they are I’m really chuffed with that Smile

I also hatched a Shroomish, taking my PokeDex up to 284, and there’s still several I’m waiting on good IVs and CP for to evolve.

Bimblesalong · 30/12/2017 16:17

Lucky to live in an area with go maps. Managed to get a snorlax and a lapras since last night :). Also a very lucky catch 100% slakoth. Just got to walk forever now or pinap all his little mates! Currently walking a 96 wailmer. Only another gazillion Km to go.

loc · 30/12/2017 10:26

Hi all, not posted for a while! Enjoying the new gen 3's but not getting many raids in.

Tip for those putting off masss evolves till the back to start glitch is fixed (so annoying for sorting through 😠), type evolve into the search and all those with enough candies will come up then disappear when you have used all your candies.

Bobbinsandthread · 30/12/2017 08:58

I hatched a shroomish yesterday Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 30/12/2017 06:48

Breaking news! The egg chart for Gen III has been released: pokemongohub.net/post/breaking-news/generation-iii-egg-chart-december-2017-includes-currently-released-pokemon/

tumpymummy Yes; some are very rare like Lotad, Barboach, Corphish, Wailmer, Feebas, Ralts, Carvanha, Luvdisc and Shroomish, and then of course you’ve got all their evolutions on top of that.

I also think after the event is over we’ll stop seeing Gen III starters everywhere so I’d pinap each and every one you see while you can.

tumpymummy · 30/12/2017 00:25

Thanks all for clarifying. So I still have several to get then. Some must be pretty ilusive as there's lots I haven't even seen. Am glad they finally released delibird - I don't like the gaps in pokedex (although have to be content that i won't get the legenderies). Plus there's the annoying kangastan gap where I saw one but couldn't catch it when it was briefly around in a few cities.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 29/12/2017 20:46

wartortle There are 76 available altogether, with 5 regionals: Zangoose and Plusle (North America, South America and Africa only), Seviper and Minun (Europe, Asia and Australia only), and Relicanth (New Zealand only).

Relicanth has been confirmed and was given to New Zealand because they aren’t able to catch Kangaskhan (Australia’s exclusive).

If we’re talking about Gen III Pokemon available to catch just in the UK, then yes, the number is 73.

I also forgot to mention above that although Delibird was released with the Gen III Pokemon, it is actually a Gen II Pokemon (it was presumably delayed due to its unique move Present, and also it’s Christmastime relation).

wartortle · 29/12/2017 19:36

It might be 3 less then 76? As we definitely can't get Zangoose or Plusle and Relicanth seems to be NZ exclusive (though I'm not sure if that's 100% confirmed yet)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 29/12/2017 19:06

Sorry, my mistake; there’s 76 currently available Smile

The first 5 were the ghost Pokemon, then they released a batch of 50, then the 20 ice and water types, and there’s also the legendary Groudon.

jaimelannistersgoldenhand · 29/12/2017 18:30

Totally x-posted. 😳

jaimelannistersgoldenhand · 29/12/2017 18:29

I thought it was 70 plus the Halloween ones like Shuppet. (Plus Groudon?)

cottonwool125 · 29/12/2017 18:11

WhatToDo I thought there was 70 at the moment? The original 50 they released a few weeks ago (excluding the ghost types released for Hallowe'en (I think)), then the 20 ice/water types released last week Smile

DoctorTwo · 29/12/2017 17:30

Congrats on the legendary @UrgentScurryFunge, I've not managed to catch Groudon yet.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 29/12/2017 17:19

I'm on 32 for the Hoenn region - but being really dense, which ones are those? The latest release? I have loads of gaps in my pokedex so thought there were loads more?

tumpymummy There are 135 Pokemon in Gen III, and when they updated the PokeDex they added the entirety of it, despite only a handful of Gen III currently being available (I think 50), hence the gaps in your PokeDex.

The Hoenn region is the region in the Pokemon world in which all Gen III Pokemon come from; you have caught 35 of the current 50 available. It started at Halloween with the ghost Pokemon; every Pokemon since then has been Gen III.

UrgentScurryfunge · 29/12/2017 15:24

I have my first legendary!
I decided that it was sufficiently cold and sodden to justify driving my car 300m to the gym. I think the cracks in my screen would have let in too much water while just waiting!
