According to PoGo on Twitter that nutjob thing is a new Pokemon for Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, and will be released as a Mythical Steel type in PoGo. Its name is Meltan. Most will turn into Ditto, very few will be Meltan. Good hunting. :o

Mumsnet seem to have broken it, igneo!

Igneococcus · 25/09/2018 11:49

I'm not overly worried how strong our pokemons are whattodo
We pretty much never do any raids because there is no point out here in the Scottish sticks, there simple aren't enough people playing. It's a very different game here.

I have CP 188 magikarp, no idea about it's IV, are they unusual?

Igneococcus The max CP for Magikarp is 220, but you aren’t going to see that unless you’re pretty much level 40.

You can (and should) check its IV with PokeGenie. You take a screenshot, put in the appraisal and it’ll give you an accurate IV.

A quick test to see if a Pokemon is any good is to use the in game appraisal. If it’s a wonder/simply amazes/battle with the best of them (Mystic/Valour/Instinct teams respectively) then it’s worth putting through PokeGenie as it will be between 80% and 100%. If it does not have that first appraisal, I ditch it immediately; I only keep Pokemon above 90% IV so even many, many “wonder” Pokemon are far too low for me.

IV is important; not CP. A higher CP does not make a Pokemon good, it just means they’re a higher level so need less powering up (but why would you want to power up a poor IV one anyway?!).

I've caught a few 172 and 179 magikarp but they were all crap IVs. Well done tallulah on the Kanga. Still hoping I'll get one soon. I've seen absolutely no Mewtwo raids about either.

I have CP 188 magikarp, no idea about it's IV, are they unusual? Thanks greenshadow I missed that about nut head. I didn't have time to look at it properly before catching it greyspottedgoose I had to sneak through a bus load of Canadian (I think) tourists to get to the shadow and tried to be quick. And what the heck is wrong with my carriage return?

anitagreen · 24/09/2018 20:36

Thank you I will evolve him now Grin

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 24/09/2018 20:28

anitagreen You generally want to focus a hell of a lot more on IV rather than CP, and you’re actually very lucky to have quite a high IV high CP Magikarp.

CP is largely irrelevant as it can be changed whereas IV can’t be.

PyeWackets · 24/09/2018 20:19

I think the highest cp magicarp is only about 140 so evolve away!

anitagreen · 24/09/2018 20:15

Can anyone advise me please! I am finally ready to evolve my magikarp I have one who is a wonder and a 98% Pokemon except his CP is only 128 I can't seem to find any above this in the two years I've played do I evolve him or not? I need to complete my mythical challenge

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 24/09/2018 20:11

I’ve finally hatched a Tauros so Gen I is complete Smile My Gen I dex had been missing only one for months now so I’m glad to finally finish it off.

Gen II only needs Heracross (regional) and Smeargle (not yet in game) while Gen III is complete except for the 9 Pokemon from it not yet released into the game and the four regionals.

GreenShadow · 24/09/2018 18:58

Igneococcus and greyspottedgoose - there are several posts about this new Pokemon up thread (on Saturday 22nd).

GreenShadow · 24/09/2018 18:57

Never thought I'd be saying this but..... I'VE COMPLETED GEN 1! Taurus fell out of a egg this afternoon after many miles of walking and hatching mainly useless 7km eggs.

greyspottedgoose · 24/09/2018 18:56

To be fair @Igneococcus when you look at it, it has a little ditto body

Igneococcus · 24/09/2018 17:40

greyspottedgoose sorry

Igneococcus · 24/09/2018 17:37

Exact same thing just happened to me greenspottedgooseWhat was that thing?

TallulahBetty · 24/09/2018 14:52

Just hatched a Kanga!!! Thrilled. Just Tauros and M2 to go.

TangelasVine · 24/09/2018 12:20

Eurochick I'm in London later this week if you aren't sorted already. Not sure if I have anything exciting but have some long distance mons if you need that medal

greyspottedgoose · 24/09/2018 11:46

Went out of my way chasing a shadow, then find this stupid thing that changed into a ditto 😡 do they all do that? What's the point?

Eurochick I've pm'd you.

bettytaghetti · 24/09/2018 10:43

@dillite Sorry about that! Just wanted to say that when we're about to go best, I will hold off and make sure you have a gift so that you can do it at a time that suits you for egging. Realise it's a while off yet!

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 24/09/2018 08:32

How long is the event on for?

PyeWackets It’s on until 9pm on the 30th September Smile

PyeWackets · 24/09/2018 07:31

I bagged a load of Kangas when they were in London so I'm okay for them. I have my Taurus just need one for dd now. How long is the event on for?

dillite · 23/09/2018 21:12

Only another million xp till level 37........... I can do this!

On the bright side-- I hatched a taurus so only kanga to go now.

eurochick · 23/09/2018 20:16

If any of my friends (im Nexis in the game) would be available to do a trade for the Celebi task I would be really grateful. I work in the City if anyone is local. I don't play with anyone irl since my husband gave up a while back. It'd be nice to meet a fellow player. Smile
