PokemonGo #15. We're gonna rock down to Electrike Avenue

MrsTylerJoseph They probably used golden razzberries, which immediately restores a Pokemon’s health to full with one berry. You can do it remotely too; you don’t have to be anywhere near the gym.

If I want to be gold on a gym I will golden raspberry every single Pokemon in it as soon as I notice it’s being battled. So if someone gave up and then restarted again half an hour later, so would I; I’d restart my golden razz tirade

The Charizard could easily be unrelated, either a passer by you didn’t notice, a neighbour or a neighbours guest.

MrsTylerJoseph using just one golden razz berry reinvigorates pokemon to 100%.

Oh and I waited thirty mins, went back again and same thing happened.

Can anyone please explain how the following is happening?

I live next door to a gym, small village. Only two other houses could reach the gym from inside.

Gym has been taken over by opposing team so I battle it. Snorlax, blissey and chancey. Best them all first round, go in for second round and notice they’re all back up to full health. Thought ok, odd. Best them all again. Immediately they’re all back up to full health and a charizard has appeared. Nobody in the road outside. Possible they could be next door but I don’t have my neighbours pegged as gamers.

Beat them all again, straight back up to full health.

It would take a lot of raspberries to do that, ime the more you chuck at them the less hp it adds each time? Could they be spoofing it somehow?

I know, that’s one reason I chose it

ChiefClerkDrumknott Why would that make you choose it?

I’m Mystic as DH chose before me and we wanted to be on the same as it makes it easier in regards to gyms.

Had DH not been playing I would have gone Instinct as yellow is my favourite colour, however I’m very glad I didn’t as they really lose out in raids; they always get the lowest number of balls as they have fewer players to get team damage advantage and rarely have gyms due to the same.

For anyone still needing a Ditto
I've seen at least 3 disguised as Ghastlys so they're definitely worth a try.

Some beefier gengar won't go amiss, either.

And yes 👑🍌☀️💛

Eggz love your red Gyrados 😍

I'm up to almost 1000 Karp candy after the past few days out and have barely touched the pinap berries. I still don't have a shiny at seen 420, caught 401 :(

I'm building up an awesome machamp army, though and pinapping plenty of rhyhorn and magnemite to collect candy for gen 4.

WhatToDo I know, that’s one reason I chose it It has the lowest numbers in my area but only slightly, if the number of gyms it holds is anything to go by.

WhatToDo I’m a level 33 Team Valor member. Been out with DH and the kids this morning to complete all of the Mew tasks, just an excellent curve throw left to go.

Can’t wait for the Mareep catching tomorrow, but am very low on pokeballs now 😬

TumpyMummy you don’t need a shiny Magikarp to get to Mew, just need to evolve any Magikarp. I would really like to fond a shiny Magikarp to evolve a red Gyrados, DH has two. So greedy

Blue dominates globally but everyone knows that 🍌🍌🍌 is the best.

Another one still waiting for a Ditto...

To answer my own question!

where’s my ditto?

Is there any trick for getting one, because I’m getting fed up of waiting for one now?

RafaIsTheKingOfClay There’s no trick to getting one, you just need to catch all the Pokemon that could possibly be a Ditto (see attached picture) and hope after you’ve caught them they turn into a Ditto.

tumpymummy You just need to evolve a Magikarp into a Gyarados; it doesn’t have to be shiny.

ChiefClerkDrumknott Team Instinct has the lowest number of players worldwide, by quite a way.

I think Ditto will be easier to find after the Kanto event.

I am also team instinct!

Does anyone know if the unown event is on again in London today?

I managed to get an Onix in a 2k egg left over from the Easter event

Hi CollyWombles I'm also in my thirties. Most of the players I see hanging around seem to be in their late twenties or older, apart from the roving gang of teens who almost always arrive to knock me out of the most convenient gym to me, just after I take it!

I forgot to say, I'm Team Instinct. In a slight minority around here but only just, I'd say. If anything, I'm seeing an increase in yellow gyms!

Struggling to get my excellent curveball to complete the Mew task. Have thrown quite a few great ones but the excellent one eludes me

Have reached the last stage before a Mew hunt but am still searching for my first shiny magikarp

Sugar - is that one of the final tasks *for Mew? I have been playing this game since it started and I have only ever found one shiny and that was on community day (a rubbish bulbosaur). I have caught 100s of magicarp (I have 4 gyrados) and none of them has been a shiny. I shall be looking for a shiny magicarp forever!

I got my ditto in a ghastly. I wanted the ghastly as one of my 10 ghost Pokemon, but was happy with the ditto.

Rafals pidgey or gastly seem to be the ones to catch for gastly.

This was posted on myFB group re gym credits

Helpful info: apparently you can still get multiple research credits for raids as long as you don't run away. Pick 6 trash mons and let them die, stay till the end, throw away mons. Rinse and repeat.

On the plus side I’ve now got plenty of magikarp candy. And I’ve pretty much completed gen 1 except for regionals and legendaries and the elusive onix.

also I'm in my thirties!

CollyWombles The majority of Pokemon Go players are late twenties/thirties/forties because the original Pokemon games everyone played came out when they were children and teenagers.

In our group of over 60, there are no teenagers and the only children are those of the parents in the group (and the children aren’t interested in playing).

As for raids, I would suggest waiting until you’re at least over Level 25. However, if you don’t like lots of people you might not want to take part in Level 4/Level 5 (legendary) raids as they require a fair amount of people to complete.

While you can play Pokemon Go as a solo player, the game is geared towards social interaction and groups, hence the requirement of several people for high tier raids, ex-raids and the community days.

Colly there is usually six spots in a gym. If is your colour and there’s a space you could slot one in

My DC are going with their dad for an afternoon so it will be my first chance to spend a good while catching Pokemon! I don't really understand the raid stuff and every gym near me has really high CP Pokemon. I'm only level 10 so I won't bother with that stuff yet.

There is a good place near me that has three pokestops really close together, you can sit on the grass and spin all three without moving. Unfortunately it's well known of course and usually lots of people there. I am not good with lots of people I don't know and also I'm in my thirties!
