Pokemon Go #22: Papa's got a brand new Grumpig bag.

ah - reading back I have sent lots of requests out - hope that's ok. Her trainer number is 2599 9746 1113

lots of gifts to send! but someone will have to explain egg walking!

can you help my daughter on this? She has pokemon on my phone but we don't know how the friends thing works and she's stuck on collecting a treasure chest if she can't make 3 friends! can I friend up some of you or do you have to be standing within 3 feet of each other or something?! thank you

Oops, @Bettytaghetti!

Thanks Bettyspaghetti, that's v useful! I'm Katmunchkin btw in the game - friends with most of you!

That's great Bimble - 10.00am Sat it is then.

I’ve just sorted my Pokemon and have loads to do a mass evolve, will I get more stardust or exp by waiting until the community day time slot to do them?

I finished my valentines task...and got a Chansey

I did however get the ice cast form which was a new one for me

I picked up a 5 great curve balls in a row task yesterday, but now I realise it's not labelled as Valentine's Day task... so is that just going to be a regular spinda?

@olinguito Yes, Saturday @ 10am is perfect, I’m hoping to trigger quite a few friends then.

Best friends:
Swirliecat

Ultra friends:
Rupeomatic
MsSnuddle

Great friends
PusheensPizza

The only one I can trigger is Rupeomatic, so I’m hoping that the others are all being lovely and holding onto a gift from me to open at 10 on Sat!

Does this help go for the great curveballs? Remember not to raspberry the catch so you can do multiple throws on the same easy catch. Don't wait for the swinubs tomorrow!

I've got the task too.
I thought I'd give it two months before deleting it........

@BaronessBomburst yeah I just was near some quite stationary Pokémon and ones with large throw circles, so it was quite doable to throw 5 great curved in a row. It's not one of the 8 spinda types but one just for the valentine event 😊

Just saw this

@contrary it’s fine - I do it all the time!

MrsJamin you threw 5 great curves in a row?!
Thank you Wailmer. It's a shame really, I'm quite fond of my aggrons. I was hoping one would be more use.
I may turn my attention to my metagross * collection instead.

• an exclusive collection of one and a half. The half is still a metang.

Hi @Bimblepops we''re 1 day away from best friends. Would you like to coordinegg on Saturday at 10.00am? (I'm Woongy). I have a gift from you waiting to be opened.

Also last call for DiamondT-J- - we are also ready to become best friends, so I will open your gift at the same time as Bimbles' unless I hear otherwise from you. Sorry I don't recall your MN name.

Redlottie I'm so sorry but DS accidentally triggered Ultra friends.

Valentines day Spinda! ❤️

Can I pick the MN collective Wailmers brains on aggrons?

BaronessBomburst Aggron had their place in the past. They’re one of the best steel types in the game, but steel isn’t great offensively and Aggron’s personal attack stats are poor.

I wouldn’t power any Aggron up now, the stardust is better spent elsewhere, but they can still be useful.

As for moves, Iron Tail and Dragon Tail are close, but Iron Tail has STAB. I would recommend having a mix of Iron Tail/Heavy Slam (STAB) and Iron Tail/Stone Edge

I’m loving the double candy! If I can get a magmar in the morning it means I can evolve that (if I can get some stones).

Can I pick the MN collective Wailmers brains on aggrons? I've got 5 now with a mixture of moves (no thunder) and was wondering which to power up. All good IV with 14 or 15 attack. Dragon tail or iron tail with stone edge? Some I'll keep as double steel. One is lucky too. I can't seem to find much on the internet as they're outclassed by tyranitars, but I've only 2 double dark and a mixed (bite/ stone edge) in my tyranitar posse so was thinking about maxing an aggron or two as a rock type attacker.
I've also got a golom.

Ha ha I wasn’t meaning you specifically, it’s applicable to anyone. Like those who’ve played the game from the start but only go on a couple of times a week; their shiny chances are going to be low.

Um, we won't go into how often I have the game open, just in case DH finds the thread!

I clicked on every spoink, every snorunt, every delibird, every tailow...... And don't have any shinies from those events.

BaronessBomburst Yeah, it’s just totally random. Obviously the more you play the more chance you have (eg. if you click on every shiny-possible Pokemon you see but only go in the game once a day for half an hour that’s pretty useless compared to having the game open for every free second you have and clicking on all shiny-possibles).

I got shiny Tailow, Psyduck and Snorunt, but I didn’t get shiny Spoink, Zigzagoon or Delibird.

You win some, you lose some 🤷‍♀️

And let's not even think about the hours spent trawling the town with incense and lure modules looking for psyducks.
Grrrrrrr.
