I know that makes sense WhatToDo, but I’m not that serious a player really (I don’t have the opportunity to be)! I just want to see what the evolutions are.

TangelasVine · 15/07/2018 08:11

Yes a big one! I got mine on a Furret. I spin the ball in the bottom left corner to do it.
I was rubbish at throwing before the Mew task and now I get loads more XP from throws as I never realised about it before

This weekend, magma is the one for a big circle, though plusle and minun are so docile that I've had loads of excellent curve balls from them.

@always2ndbest - Pokemon with big circles, like Wailmer and Alolan Eggectutor. My first one was a fluke with a Hoothoot!

RadicalisedPortal · 14/07/2018 23:40

Find a big pokemon always, Wailmer is good. Watch and wait as the circle close around the 'mon.

always2ndbest · 14/07/2018 23:37

Any tips on throwing an excellent curve ball? I have got throwing curveballs down to a fine art but the elusive excellent is draining my poke balls fast!

The following spawns are currently boosted:

• New Alolan Pokemon - Alolan Geodude, Alolan Diglett

• New shinies - Minun, Plusle

• Weather specific - Lotad, Cacnea, Snorunt

• Biome specific - Swinub, Magmar, Seedot, Wailmer, Feebas, Slugma, Aron

• Gen 3 starters - Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic

• Rare ones - Alolan Exeggutor, Aerodactyl, Trapinch

It has also been confirmed via GoFest that you can do both the Mew and Celebi field research tasks at the same time, so for those still on Mew, don’t worry - it won’t go away!

OrianaBanana As a general rule, I would always advise against evolving a Pokemon to the second evolution until you have enough candy for its final evolution. This is especially true for rarer Pokemon.

By the time you have enough candy for the third evolution, chances are you’ll find a much better IV one and you’ll have wasted the candies previously on evolving to the second evolution. It also means you have less candies to power up with (if applicable).

TangelasVine · 14/07/2018 21:33

I caught a shiny Plusle too! If it wasn't for the stars I wouldn't have noticed as I'm not great with shades of colours.
My 3rd ever shiny!

OrianaBanana · 14/07/2018 21:00

And this guy looks a bit like a willy (or is it just me?) 🤔

Well done Dill - I still haven't caught one & I'm almost level 36 & playing over 2 years too!

Anyone know what's going on with gyms? Is it not 1 coin for 10 mins anymore? I seem to not get coins anymore unless I'm in the gym for long enough to actually get 50 coins Confused

RadicalisedPortal · 14/07/2018 18:39

Oooo didn't know about the increased spawns, loving it though. Just popping out for another poke walk now.

Does anyone know when they will let you increase pokemon storage sure it was on the cards.

TangelasVine · 14/07/2018 16:48

Thanks PickaChew that makes sense. I didn't realise about the boosted spawns

Here's a list of this weekend's boosted spawns. Been particularly enjoying the starters. Already had over 400 mudkip candy but rarely see torchic and its heartmelty running in circles, or treecko.

Have to confess that I prefer dugtrio bald.

I have finally caught an aerodactil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only took 2 bloody years.

TangelasVine · 14/07/2018 16:13

I mean I can see there's a global challenge but it doesn't say anything about different pokes? Unless I'm not reading it properly (totally possible!)

TangelasVine · 14/07/2018 16:12

Oh possibly! I looked on the News bit but couldn't see anything about it. I need a whatever it is though do quite pleased to get the candy Grin

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 14/07/2018 16:03

I caught a magmar this morning and a couple of trappinch as well even though I have hatched lots of those already!

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 14/07/2018 15:50

@TangelasVine - I wondered if that was part of the event, I also got a Trapinch and have only ever hatched one before. Also got several Magmars on my scanner.

TangelasVine · 14/07/2018 15:43

As well as the alohans there's lots of rarer pokemon about. Caught quite a few Trapinch today and hardly ever see them wild. Plus lots of starters.
