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

I believe they have had many complaints that it's always the same time for who work then etc

3-6pm? What the hell? What's wrong with a morning community day?

HankyPanky04 · 22/02/2019 18:54

Lumpy I only start to pay attention when I've got to 3 of the 5 throws with normal, relaxed throwing. Then I'll limit what I aim at and use nanab berries, if needs be.

I think heart spinda has gone, now, anyhow. I ended up doing the catching for both boys, for that one.

Baroness just read your post. So even if I complete the task I won't get the valentines one??????

LumpySpacedPrincess · 22/02/2019 17:38

I HATE the 5 in a row task, it is actually getting me down now. I cant catch what I want in case it mucks up my streak then I always blow it anyway. It means I will have to keep the task tomorrow which will affect tomorrows catches. I am actually making worse throws because I'm overthinking and I feel all the joy has been sucked out of the game. Feeling really down.

jumie · 22/02/2019 13:04

@putthehamsterbackinitscage I am happy for you to open tonight or tomorrow morning

MrsJamin · 22/02/2019 09:50

What are people's tips for the special tasks day tomorrow? This is what I learned for the Feebas tasks day in January:

  • have a load of eggs ready to hatch - get some in incubators in advance
  • switch to a 1km walking buddy
  • use saved pokemon encounters to catch for '10 nice throws' tasks
  • if there's some hatch an egg or get a candy for walking with your buddy tasks, delete them and come back to them later if you're not likely to trigger them just yet.
Was there anything else that people did to help complete as many tasks as possible? I don't have much time tomorrow which is annoying!

Wahh, there’s a Bagon nearby and I can’t go out to get it! Sad

WitchSharkadder · 22/02/2019 09:42

Sorry, Baroness, but that’s good news for me as I still haven’t got the Feb Spinda and picked up the 5 great curveball task late yesterday Smile

WitchSharkadder · 22/02/2019 09:38

They’ll have release Leafeon and Glaceon fairly soon, Soub as they’re gen IV (they’re really dragging it out aren’t they)

Sylveon is gen VI so will still be a while.

BaronessBomburst · 22/02/2019 09:37

I think so. I'm hanging on to several high IV/ CP eevees so I can evolve them as soon as they hit.
The gym teams here are pretty evenly split. Most players seem to have at least two accounts and as the main accounts were either Valour or Mystic, many plumped for Instinct as the 'neutral' second.

Soubriquet · 22/02/2019 08:49

So you think they will release the other three eevee evolutions?

Like leafeon, slyveon and glaceon?

BaronessBomburst · 22/02/2019 08:40

I completed the spinda task yesterday evening during the event, but only just opened it this morning, as it was the only completed task I had.
It's the sodding February spinda. I thought that because I'd completed it during the event I'd get the Valentine's one.

I will never make that mistake again.
I will probably chuck the sodding spinda too as I don't even like them. I was making an exception for the Valentine's one.

Soubriquet · 22/02/2019 08:37

I’m not changing teams either.

I have loads of sinnoh stones now...well 4 but I’ve evolved 3 others Grin

Just need the candies to evolve the others

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 22/02/2019 06:51

Sinnoh stones are from trainer battles? FFS! We didn't know that. Google told us they were from the weekly field research which we've been doing religiously and nada.

YogaDrone There are two ways to earn Sinnoh Stones. Through your weekly field research, like you found on Google, and through PvP and trainer battles.

With the battles, you have four chances a day, as you can receive rewards from three PvP battles and one trainer battle. Do keep in mind though that each battle reward only has a 1 in 7 chance of dropping a Sinnoh Stone; they are meant to be relatively rare and hard to gain.

Luvdiscs aren't that rare up here. Wonder if it's to do with geography?

SneakyGremlins All Pokemon have their own individual biomes, ie. water Pokemon are more likely to spawn in water biomes etc. So yes, geography and your surrounding area plays a huge part in what Pokemon crop up for you.

TallulahBetty · 22/02/2019 06:51

@mrsjamin it'll go back to the Jan/Feb Spinda.

dillite · 22/02/2019 06:49

Now that valentines event is over, I am really hoping that I will be able to catch a drowsee for my meltan task.

WitchSharkadder · 21/02/2019 23:36

We’ve got Mystics & Instincts aplenty around here, it’s Valor that are scarce. DS just wants to be the same team as his brothers, he’s only 5, bless him. I still won’t be shelling out a tenner though, he can save his gym coins! Grin

I’d definitely delete the Luvdisc task now, it’ll be just taking up space for a very long time, Juni.

putthehamsterbackinitscage · 21/02/2019 23:27

@jumie and @BettysMom - we go best at our next interaction and @musical we go ultra

Do any of you want to coordinate? I can't do Saturday AM as I'll be in poor mobile reception and am running as well...

SneakyGremlins · 21/02/2019 23:27

I'm yellow. There's about 10 yellows in our whole town, of which my best friend and I are the only ones who are out every single day!

At least I'm guaranteed coins living on a gym Grin
