I haven’t been aware of any shiny Pokemon but I haven’t been looking out for them either

Passmethecrisps You don’t know if a Pokemon is shiny or not until you click on it; they don’t appear on the nearby as shiny nor are they shiny when you see them before you click on them.

So the only surefire way to make sure you don’t miss any shinies is to click on each and every single Pokémon that has the ability to be shiny in the hope that you’ll eventually come across one.

Yes please Pikachuchu Grin
I thought the Gary evolution or the ditto would be the difficult bit. Never thought the ghosts would hide.

Efferlunt · 01/05/2018 22:18

I was waiting until this even to claim my last challenge stamp, but DS got to the phone again and I have another moltres. It sort of started out as his account but now I feel very possessive over it!

Pikachuchu · 01/05/2018 22:09

There's a Gastly on my sightings KadabrasSpoon. I'll shoo it your way!

KadabrasSpoon · 01/05/2018 21:29

I'd kind of like them to lay off the events for 5 minutes to be honest Grin
I usually get ghosts spawning in my house and it's been event pokemon for ages now. I need 3 ghosts!

bettytaghetti · 01/05/2018 21:09

Ooh, nice afresh!

afreshnewname · 01/05/2018 21:03

Iv waited 3 days to claim the last challenge stamp so I didn't get another Moltress 😂

Yay! Got my second Latias today and it's 93% IV, much better than my other one. It really went to the wire though and we just got it as the clock ran down. My son is now mortified that I used discord to find other players! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!

Not rewards for battling, Machop etc. Rewards for battling are always welcome. :o

I have seen 421 Magikarp, caught 419 with 2 shinies, seen 124 Wailmer, caught 120, zero shinies. I'm going to wait till I catch a shiny Wailmer to evolve, just so it can look massive atop a gym. :o

In other news, the first 2 weeks of May will see increased sightings of Mankey, Machop, Makuhita and Meditite, and more Tyrogue from eggs, and more rewards for battling. I really need more of those. Hmm

The new event is going to excellent for xp and dust for those who raid. Very happy with it!

Passmethecrisps · 01/05/2018 20:10

Thanks murinae. Two little kids so limited opportunity but at least that is in my hands. I was really irritated by the ditto task.

For ghost types it’s best to go out after about 9pm into town or near a cemetery. They spawn mainly at night.

Passmethecrisps · 01/05/2018 18:14

Hi chaps. I was on these threads way back when we were excited by catching weedles and their hat of disappointment. I fell away from the game but have rediscovered it recently.

I wanted to share with someone and as dh will not understand I FINALLY CAUGHT A DITTO!

I have been collecting bloody magikarp candies for about a year and finally have enough to evolve but now can’t as to want to save that for the challenge. Now I just need 20 ghost types

Murinae · 01/05/2018 14:58

I’ve seen 484 magicarp and caught 430 no shiny and seen 144 wailmer and caught 109 and no shiny either Sad

soupforbrains · 01/05/2018 14:11

I've just checked my stats,

I've seen 298 karp and no shinies.

Before the start of this even I'd only seen 54 wailmer. I have now seen 347 and still no shiny. Obviously I know that is the shiny rate was 1:500 then I haven't caught my 'share' of wailmers to be 'due' a shiny but it is still frustrating and it feels like I've done nothing but catch wails and karps for the last week ha.

ANutAsBigAsABoulder · 01/05/2018 13:03

I’ve hatched a shiny shuppet, but it’s a pretty rubbish one. Still love it though. Gives me that sticker packet opening thrill when you see stars appear around a pokemon 😄

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 01/05/2018 11:34

I’ve seen 462 Magikarp and had 3 shiny ones (one of which was 93%). I also caught my shiny Swablu after only seeing about thirty of them at the time (seen 376 now) so I’ve been quite lucky! With Wailmer I’ve seen 196 and got one shiny.

ANutAsBigAsABoulder · 01/05/2018 11:12

Still no shiny magikarp for me either, even though I’ve caught over 300 of the buggers. DH - of course - caught a shiny Wailmer 🙄

RueDeWakening · 01/05/2018 10:08

I got a shiny karp as my first ever shiny, over a year ago. I checked it's IVs recently: 28% :o still going to evolve it though...

No shiny Wailmer for me - have got nearly 700 candies now though, so will evolve my first one fairly soon (once I get my list sorted of what else I need to do!).

But all I want for Christmas is another ghost type, my special research is taking forever.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 01/05/2018 10:03

I’m in a dilemma now about evolving my 96% wailmer or my shiny one. It’s going to be a long time before I have enough candy for both

Efferlunt I’ve had a 100% Wailord for a few months now and I’ve never used it (and I battle and raid every day), so if you like the look of a shiny Wailord you could go for that Smile

Efferlunt · 01/05/2018 09:49

lok I’ve been waiting a year for my shiny magikarp so keep plugging away and hanging out near rivers :-)

Thanks what will have to learn to be patient!
