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

Like lightning bolts? Means you got a critical throw I believe

What does it mean when flames come out of a Pokeball instead of usual stars?

@catontherun Saturday it is

I love raiding, SpeckledDot !
Did he jump around? They can be frisky little pixies.

@bettytaghetti yep that’s great thanks. I’ll put lucky egg on 10am Sat.

Wow!!

It’s been a shiny day

@Minicat79 we are also 2 days from best so would be good to do on Saturday too. If you're happy to open the gift you have from me between now and Friday and then I will open between 10 & 10:30 on Saturday.

@TangelasVine we're 1 day from best. Would Saturday be good for you too?

Polly99 I think we are also 2 days from going ultra. As it's so close to community day, as most people tend to put an egg on from 10am, it would be great to do it then, if you're okay with that too? If you open the gift you have from me sometime between now and Friday, then I'll trigger the level up on Saturday.

ds levelled up to 36 two days ago and didn't get a single item for it. Is that normal?

Igneococcus When you go up to Level 36 you receive 20 Ultra Balls, 20 Max Potions, 10 Max Revives and 20 Razz Berries.

Your DS will have received them; they’re given automatically upon level increase.

Just fought my first raid by myself and caught this! No idea if it's a rare one or not but I'm well chuffed.

SpeckledDot Sableye aren’t commonly found in the wild, no, but they are pretty useless. The only reason most people raid them is for the chance of a shiny.

But congrats on your first solo raid

I’ve just sent you one, Cat, I might be a bit short on gifts tomorrow due to long working day but I’ll have some Friday, so as long as you can save one to send me tomorrow we’ll be grand

@rupeomatic - Have checked and we still have one more exchange to go (i.e. the next one will trigger Best Friends). I'm now aiming for Saturday at 10.00am for the start of the community event.

@bigchris aka nevaeh 10.00am Saturday for coordinegging ?

@WitchSharkadder , yes we should make it for the Community Day coordinegging if we keep exchanging every day (I need to get some gifts later today, they were a bit sparse on the school run this morning).

@loubylou1967 - we are 2 days off the 50,000 XP Ultra Friends boost. If we hold off the last exchange of gifts until Saturday 10.00am with a lucky egg on we can double up too. I'm P--T--47

Just fought my first raid by myself and caught this! No idea if it's a rare one or not but I'm well chuffed.

Sorry if i sound like a noob :D raids weren't in the game when i last played back in early 2017

Hi @catontherun - sorry, only just saw your message. Tell me when to put an egg on - happy to do it whenever suits you

I need all the feebas I can get. Currently on 67 I think. I’ve walkes the required 20km to evolve to the milotic but still need more candy

Just walked 10k for a sodding Feebas. And not even a shiny one. I'm beyond fuming

ds levelled up to 36 two days ago and didn't get a single item for it. Is that normal?

Thanks to those who friended me/DS (we are Hxxxxx2012). DS is very impressed by your levels .

Yes I’ll put one on at 10am Saturday too

@tumpymummy thanks, I managed to get an egg on right from the start so I got the extra 10k XP.

Nice one on the palkia too. Most of my local raiding group have given up as they're so bloody hard to catch.

JuniLoolaPalooza Palkia’s base catch rate is 1%. Don’t forget they made raid bosses far more powerful in a recent update.

@Soubriquet I see that you are in the egg swap on Saturday at 10am, are you happy to trigger my egg then as well?

Peacon123, are you around? We are due to go besties on our next interaction if you want to coordinate?

CatchyJem I have just PMd you as I see above that you don't lucky egg, but I definitely want/need to!! So hoping you can help by sending me a gift rather than triggering besties yourself.

Haha baroness there's a guy in one of my FB groups who is a bus driver and has one. Nice one on the palkia too. Most of my local raiding group have given up as they're so bloody hard to catch.

Sorry about lack of gifts from me, I'm not getting to the high st very often and my nearest stops/gyms aren't giving me gifts.

A Go-Tcha is a fake Pokémon-Go Plus. It's cheaper and better than the original and because it's a clone your phone and Niantic can't tell the difference. It automatically spins pokestops. You can set it to catch Pokémon too but that's no fun. It's also pretty useless as it only throws one straight red Pokéball, and no berries, so most of the good stuff breaks out and flees. It connects via Bluetooth.
It can spin way faster than a person and still reacts at 80km (possibly more).
I'm always driving and DS gets his knickers in a twist trying to spin for me, and spin and catch for himself. All the nerds have them.
