Wailmer is the excellent curve ball pokie of the week.

Our local spoofers keep popping back up.

Was surprised, though, when I walked into a Karp raid, honking ds1 was already in. Mivrd into the lobby and it was a red guy. N the next 90 seconds he left and reappeared asca yellow guy with a similar name!

Murinae Thanks! And congrats on your shiny Wailmer too, Efferlunt!

bettytaghetti · 26/04/2018 22:52

Pretty wailmer btw efferlunt!

bettytaghetti · 26/04/2018 22:51

I've seen videos (fairly recent ones at that) on YouTube where they openly boast about spoofing. One was talking about the upcoming weather dependent evolutions of eevee in gen 4 and said that glaceon wouldn't be a problem for him despite not living anywhere remotely snowy. Just why bother playing if there's no challenge?
I have been trying to follow the discord group for my area and there are mentions of having to use private groups for raids to avoid 'interlopers' from afar. Think to avoid dilution of ex raid passes? So I still think spoofing is a problem.

Efferlunt · 26/04/2018 22:36

I thought they’d really cracked down on spooofers now? It’s a pain I agree.

I’ve had a good day first latios and...

Need a moan! Fed up with my pokemon getting kicked out of gyms in a park that is closed at this time of night. Most probably spoofers, grr!

Me neither Staying Sad

I just can’t do an excellent curveball no matter how hard I try!

Eggzandbacon · 26/04/2018 19:16

Still no ditto!!!

Murinae · 26/04/2018 18:53

Well done Whattodo. I’ve just started down the long road of level 39. Think it will take me a while to get to forty!!

I am also very jealous of your shiny wailmer!

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 26/04/2018 18:15

Woohoo! Just gone up to Level 36! Grin

UrgentScurryfunge · 26/04/2018 16:52

I think I'm good on most of those candies for gen 4... except Rhydon. I blew over 100 candies and 100,000 stardust on powering one up yesterday... but he is my 100% and is now maxed out at CP 3200 Grin I've still got about 70 candies left which I want to keep in stock which was why now felt like a good time. I've also got a well powered up 98% so I'd need a really good IV/ CP to feel tempted to evolve another in a hurry.

PickAChew · 26/04/2018 00:19

Yep, I've experienced that bug. It's actually quite useful if it's a gym you want to defend.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 25/04/2018 20:52

Updates!

• New field research featuring flying and electric Pokemon from 1st May
• Zapdos is the next Pokemon reward at the end of the 7 day streak (so seems the reward Pokemon will change monthly)

• New game update coming, best feature appears to be the ability to put on lucky eggs and star pieces from battle and raid lobbies

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 25/04/2018 19:57

Help I’m on fire! Wtf has this happened to anyone else?

Efferlunt Yes, that glitch usually arises when you go to view your Pokemon in a gym but someone is attacking it.

The animation is the one that surrounds gyms when they’re being battled.

If you close and re-open the game it will be gone Smile

Efferlunt It’s so pretty! Congrats on Level 30 Smile

Efferlunt · 25/04/2018 15:36

So jealous of your shiny wailmer What!

I’m finally level 30! Very pleased

soupforbrains · 25/04/2018 13:05

yeah I hope so Betty but we shall see. I'm ok for Tangela candy thanks to hatches and also there are field tasks around which result in a Tangela encounter but Lickitung are a bit of a mare in terms of trying to get enough candy.

bettytaghetti · 25/04/2018 12:18

I wonder if we'll get more frequent spawns of some of those, in particular Tangela & Lickitung? I've only seen/caught 3 and 10 of those, respectively. And I still haven't caught a Misdreavus or Yanma that would be worth evolving.

soupforbrains · 25/04/2018 10:47

I'm using this event to sort out a few more gender dex gaps and also stock up on some candy for future evos.

Just in case anyone else is trying to think about saving for Gen 4 evolutions of current pokemon here is how many candy you need to save;

50 candy ;
Lickitung
Tangela
Eevee( 25 each for 2 evos)
Aipom
Yanma
Murkrow
Misdreavus
Gligar
Sneasel
Nosepass

100candy
Magnemite
Rhyhorn
Electabuzz
Magmar
Porygon
Togepi
Swinub
Duskull

150 candy
Roselia (25 for 2nd evo and 100 for 3rd)

If you care about getting the genders in your dex then you need to double all of these apart from Magnemite and Porygon which are gender neutral.

SirRodneyEffing · 25/04/2018 08:14

Thanks Whattodo & pickachu. Totally missed that in news. The kids must have been messing with my phone when that popped up.

By the end of school run I should have enough candy for a wailer evolution. Finally . 😊

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 24/04/2018 23:13

SirRodneyEffing See attached picture. Also, Wailmer now has a shiny version so keep catching them Grin

Check your news. Extra water, ground and grass spawns with triple stardust on them.

SirRodneyEffing · 24/04/2018 22:27

Is there a special event on at the moment for wailmers? I've must have caught about a zillion today
