10am. Although it’s a sheep free zone round here at the moment. I can see them on my nearest Pokémon list but everything but mareep is popping up in my house.

FleurDelacoeur · 15/04/2018 10:26

I've just caught my first mareep from the sofa so they're around now.

dillite · 15/04/2018 10:20

When do mareep begin to arrive today?

throwawayagain · 15/04/2018 09:58

Helloooo!
Just getting my incubators ready for sheep! Here are my fave shinies! SmileGrin

It’s usually just for 3 hours Elmers.

Have just managed to get enough xp to get to level 30. Which is well timed for the 3 extra incubators that’s just given me. Would be nice if it stopped raining.

Elmersnewfriend · 15/04/2018 09:36

Is the Mareep challenge on for the whole day today? Am hoping to be able to evolve my Flaafy without walking hundreds of km!

MrsTylerJoseph · 15/04/2018 09:15

Well I kicked them all out at 6am this morning. Guess they were asleep.

Now I’m on the excellent curveball challenge....I can’t even throw a curveball never mind an excellent one.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 15/04/2018 09:04

Also I don’t consider that “aggressive” playing Confused It’s just playing when you’ve got time.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 15/04/2018 09:02

It's not late into the night that people don't like, just the 45-60 min before midnight. The general feeling is that if you are going to do it at that time of night, it is more considerate to wait until midnight.

I meant that they start at about 11pm and go round town battling gyms. If you’re in one gym you’re probably in at least another, and by that time you’ve probably been in long enough anyway.

I don’t see a problem with it 🤷‍♀️ It’s Team Instinct that do it here anyway as they’re all night owls Grin

PickAChew · 15/04/2018 00:36

Some people might want to play them be in bed by a more reasonable time than now.

The aggressive mystic players must have the local gyms gold now as I rarely see them close to home. Back to swinging between yellow and blue. Thankfully not every hour any more!

Pikachuchu · 15/04/2018 00:31

That’s not the case here. We have several players in our group that go out and knock people out late into the night and it’s never an issue.

Can people get an alert put on their phone to say when their gym is under attack or are they just glued to their phones

MrsTylerJoseph It comes up saying “Pokemon X needs a treat” which is a surefire way to know they’re being attacked and if you want to keep it you need to berry.

Removing people from gyms at this time of night is considered poor etiquette around here

Last month someone told me she caught a couple of shiny bulbasaurs under the table at her daughter's birthday party KadabrasSpoon Grin

KadabrasSpoon · 14/04/2018 23:41

I'm always missing the community days. Got a kids party tomorrow. Apparently I need to supervise my kids and not catch pink sheep Grin

Pikachuchu · 14/04/2018 23:38

People may well want coins for incubators for community day tomorrow. If you wait until after midnight and try again, they will probably let you take it.

MrsTylerJoseph · 14/04/2018 23:30

Hmmm, well this is “my” gym and I like to make it unattractive for others by booting people out straight away. Grin

Pikachuchu · 14/04/2018 23:28

Sometimes you get a "Fred needs a treat" message when someone is battling the gym Fred is in. (It doesn't always happen though!)

Removing people from gyms at this time of night is considered poor etiquette around here. People will often have their coins for the day, so if you wait until midnight they will get tomorrow's coins.

I'm currently keeping a very close on a gym for the next 30 min. It will be berried if anyone tries to take it Smile

MrsTylerJoseph · 14/04/2018 23:22

Agghh, they just did it again. Can people get an alert put on their phone to say when their gym is under attack or are they just glued to their phones? I beat all 4, came back for round 2 and they’re all up to full health.

DoctorTwo · 14/04/2018 21:09

@CollyWombles I can guarantee there will be at least 20 people at our community day ranging in age from about 6 to 65. Some of us are in our 50s :o Usually when we meet for Legendary Raids we are a maximum of 8, so days like tomorrow are great for catch ups. Plus we are making plans for a group trip to London in the summer, so that'll probably be the June Community Day.

I've spent half the afternoon clearing rubbish from my Pokemon storage. I've cleared 315 spaces following my new rule; IVs must be over 80%, or it must be a shiny or I only have one of them. I just need to clean S-Z.

WhatToDo I like an underdog Grin The gyms around me are pretty even most of the time between the three teams with Instinct slightly behind but not by much. Also, not knowing anything before I started I play by instinct so figured it suited me best

Eggzandbacon · 14/04/2018 20:08

Another Moltres today, hardest Pokemon I’ve ever caught. However bloody sick of trying to get a ditto.

bettytaghetti · 14/04/2018 20:06

We have a pair of potheads in my local park that tend to take over gyms together and something similar happened to me when I tried to take down a gym they were in. I walked a bit further and realised they were sitting out of sight on top of a little hill overlooking the gym and watched as they did it to a couple of other unsuspecting players whilst waiting for my dog to make sure every squirrel was safely up in their trees. Have learnt to watch out for them if trying to take a gym down with them in!

MrsTylerJoseph · 14/04/2018 20:02

Ah, did not know that. Thanks. Will stop being cross.

jaimelannistersgoldenhand · 14/04/2018 20:01

You can use golden raspberries to restore a Pokemon in a gym to full health. You can feed your Pokemon in a gym from wherever you are.
