With the upcoming Swinub community day, honouring the year of the pig, it had to be done.

Look what I hatched. Not seen one like this before...

Polly99 That’s an Alolan Vulpix. You had a 3% chance of hatching one when the 7km egg pool was just the four Alolan Pokemon last summer, but now the pool is much bigger the chances are even lower.

I hatch so many eggs though that I’ve hatched a lot of them.

Oooh, don't have Kangaskan or Farfetch'd in my Dex yet!!! Yay!!
I'll make sure to send you all gifts with eggs from Oz hopefully. Dunno if that's make a difference.

SirNilsOlav · 11/02/2019 18:52

I have Farfetchd and Kanga from when they were here but very jealous of the Heracross!

I've traded for tropious and tauros (then got one of those from when they were in eggs) but the rest of the regionals evade me so far.

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 18:39

Any excuse for me to show these beauties off GrinGrin

And before someone asks, no I didn’t catch them....I let someone in another country access my account and catch them for me Blush

My girlfriend hatched one of them. I’ve been hatching 7km eggs like crazy and all I keep hatching are fucking baby Pokemon!!

Polly99 · 11/02/2019 18:22

Thanks for the curve ball tips. I can’t say that I can land them reliably, but I managed to get 5 in a row when throwing at bigger pokemon, so at least that research task has now gone away!

ultrasuper pokeheman luton I'm gin and were due to go best in 1,2 and 3 days respectively. Let me know if you want to coordinate or hold off etc.

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 15:12

Oooo hope you’ll have fun

I’ve got two kangaskhans and a far fetched and two heracross

BaronessBomburst · 11/02/2019 15:08

Kangaskans!

pottypotamus · 11/02/2019 14:50

It's annoying isn't it Soub. I got my 4th bloody Suicune yesterday since beginning of Dec Angry
Only have a couple of weeks to bag an Entei or Lugia.

On the upside, we're going to Australia over Easter so really excited to see what we'll catch over there!!

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 14:17

Another sodding zapdos(never thought I would say that!!)for my field research. Not even one with perfect IV

I did however get my 5th sinnoh stone.

Least they are finally coming

CherieBabySpliffUp · 11/02/2019 11:17

Sorry nevaeh1975 I triggered best friends this morning by accident

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 11/02/2019 10:18

Shinx are only available either by raids or hatching (10km eggs); they’ve not yet been released into the wild.

Mine was a shiny, hers wasn’t. Very random

Shinies are independent. When encountering a Pokemon with the ability to be shiny, either in the wild, via hatch or raids, there’s always a chance they may be shiny.

Each Pokemon has their own individual shiny rate; some are more common than others.

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 09:28

Has anyone else had problems with it this morning

Kept saying network error everytime I tried to catch a Pokemon or raid.

Had to restart the game several times in order to get it sorted. Angry

There’s no update needed either

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 08:23

No thats fine with me! You may have to remind me Saturday morning though. I have a mind like a sieve at times

WitchSharkadder · 11/02/2019 07:36

I thought they were only available in raids, Soub, but for some reason your post made me wonder if they’d released them wild and I’d missed it!

On another note, we can go Ultra friends tomorrow, do you mind waiting until Saturday at 10 for the mass level up?

Soubriquet · 11/02/2019 07:13

So jealous of the shiny Shinx? Did you catch it wild, Soub?

No! It was a raid. Me and my girlfriend took it down together. Mine was a shiny, hers wasn’t. Very random

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 11/02/2019 03:43

I’ve got a few good ones, love my super Dragonite! Annoyingly the app didn’t give me any rewards for my wins

Bimblepops You only get rewards for the first three PVP battles each day; it’s not infinite!

PickAChew · 10/02/2019 23:44

Electabuzz and dratini also good for curveballs out of the current crop. Resist the spoink.

That is irritating, Betty, I agree.

bettytaghetti · 10/02/2019 22:27

Don't you just hate it when someone levels up (to best, no less!) with no notice? Grr! I wouldn't mind, okay, I would, but not quite as much but I've been trying to get in touch with them here!

bettytaghetti · 10/02/2019 22:09

Had quite a successful raid earlier! Grin
Would quite like to retire from doing anymore palkia raids, since I hate catching the jumpy little buggers, but now I need the candy!!

bettytaghetti · 10/02/2019 22:06

Congrats Soubriquet! Still not got one of those either.

Bimble was your item bag full when you battled? If so, you won't get any rewards. Think it's a bit mean of Niantic not to give stardust when that's the case.

Polly99 obviously best to find larger circled mons to do that task on, but have you tried slowing down your circles to match the speed of the rings as they get slower before throwing? I find doing that a few times before throwing helps me to get in time with the movement. Also use nanabs to slow down the pokemon's movement.

Polly99 · 10/02/2019 21:55

@tumpymummy that’s fine. I’ll try to remember to put an egg on then.
