My trainer code is 4916 5008 3455 on holiday at the moment if anyone wants a postcard from here. I Only know 2 people in real life who play

Has anyone got something good from me? I'm in Buxton Grin

  • Grimer that will shortly be turning into Muk Grin
WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 26/06/2018 15:32

So far I’ve got mostly Meowths, but I did hatch a 98% Muk so I was very happy with that Grin

I’m quite relieved they’ve nerfed the gifts tbh. I already have hundreds of each item they give so I’m running out of bag space (it’s 1550, so not low) and only opening the gifts for the Alolan eggs and to increase friendship levels to benefit trading and battling further down the line.

I've had three meowths and two sandshrews!

SneakyGremlins · 26/06/2018 14:39

Bathing eggs? Confused

SneakyGremlins · 26/06/2018 14:38

I'd like to apologise if you've sent me a gift and I haven't sent one back - I'm trying to get them all sent out!!

I've also given myself heatstroke bathing eggs Sad

BSJohnson · 26/06/2018 13:03

On the positive and rather selfish side, BIG THANKS to the person on the south coast who unwittingly sent me an Alolan Vulpix. I luff him!

The rents of you can stop sending me Meowth now, thanks.

not really I love gifts

BSJohnson · 26/06/2018 12:58

It's a shame. It seemed like a good way to pass items to players who don't have lots of pokestops nearby. I was counting it as a good deed for the day. Grin

SneakyGremlins · 26/06/2018 11:56

They've murdered gifts Sad

If I collect my research stamp to complete this weeks research will the articuno appear again?

imnotadragon Yeah, like I mentioned further upthread, Articuno is June’s seven day stamp reward. It will no longer be Articuno when we go into July, but that’s almost another week so I wouldn’t wait.

@MrsJamin the reason why some people have distant friends is because eggs you get from their gifts have their location on them.

For example my friend lives in Buenos Aires in Argentina, gifts he sends me hatch into pokemon with the Buenos Aires location. So even if they're not exciting mons I can trade them cheaply with my local friends and we both get a huge chunk of distance towards our trade distance medal.

The satisfaction of taking down an Onix, in sunny weather, with a couple of not even particularly spectacular garries:)

It would make sense to do that, a. It like the gym item drops.

Kpo58 · 26/06/2018 08:22

I think that it depends if you get more items if your friendship level increases.

MrsJamin · 26/06/2018 08:14

The amounts from gifts have gone right down. I wonder whether people will continue to swap gifts if they are never close enough to trade. I only have people I know and see for this reason.

SeahorsesAREhorses · 26/06/2018 07:31

Wow, you almost never see those wild! Luckily I have 2 and have traded one with dd.

I saw that on reddit Tangela.

TangelasVine · 26/06/2018 06:48

They've reduces the amounts of items in gifts now so it's a bit more like spinning a stop e.g. 1 pinap rather than 10

PickAChew · 26/06/2018 00:05

Wild chimecho in the middle of the woods. Not a midnight walk I'll be taking :(

Some of you live in amazing places! I love seeing all the postcards.
I'm running out of space in my bag and have over 200 pineapples GrinGrinGrin

I need to get on with catching Mew before it changes. Stuck on the raid bit. I've not seen many locally lately at times I can do.

NaiceAm · 25/06/2018 20:35

None of my friends IRL play either so I would love some mumsnetter friends - I will go through the list to add those shown and if anyone would be kind enough to add me, my number is 8096 2474 7498

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 25/06/2018 20:28

Hey I'm 5/8s through the mythical discovery thing what happens when you complete it does it restart again?

imnotadragon No. When you complete it, that’s it. You get Mew and then that screen just says more will be coming soon.

And the only mythical pokemon I've been getting so far are Articunos I have two or three now

Articuno is not a mythical Pokémon, it’s a Legendary Pokemon. There are only 18 Mythical Pokemon across all generations; they’re extremely rare and in the games can’t be gained by normal gameplay, hence you only getting one Mew and not being able to trade it.

You’re only getting Articuno because that’s the reward for this month. It changes every month, so in July it will presumably be an (old) new legendary.
