Shiny new thread. Work means I've only walked 5.2km this week, though Fitbit says it's 11.9. Hmm

I luffs him!
I'm driving my WhatsApp group pippy begging to know where the Spin 25 Pokestops research is. Grin
I have two rampardos; they are amazing attackers (for as long as they last).
I'm also walking with a 98% IV cranidos, traded from DS. I let him do the trade whilst I was busy in the kitchen. It was level one?It'll take 860 km to get it to a usable level 30. Shock

Aargh I was so busy yesterday I missed just about everything! I promise to read this thread on a Friday night from now on.

Thanks @knittingmamma!

BaronessBomburst · 09/06/2019 09:33

I'm in NL and we had issues too, but only for the last hour. I took DS to a local town where we've played before, but this time we parked up and walked in so we could hit a streak of 15 new Pokestops. Then into the main square with lured Pokestops and spawn points galore. It was fab for about an hour and a half and then all the slakoth disappeared. The lures were spawning random stuff, not even Pokémon which matched the weather.

I won't tell you how many shinies or slakoth we got, or that we caught the Pokémon whilst sitting in the bakery eating pizza, as you'll all hate me. I think we'll be back next CD.

Knittingmamma · 09/06/2019 09:24

Hi @funnelfanjo we go great friends on our next interaction. I am happy if you trigger when suits you as I am out of lucky eggs and saving coins for incubators! I will send you a gift when I've been to a poke stop!

WitchSharkadder · 09/06/2019 08:41

They've acknowledged the issues yesterday and Slakoth will be back.

Awwww thank you DoctorTwo 😊

I didnt get any shiney Slakoth 🙁. There were loads in town but i just wanted to get home from work and thought there would be loads there, there wasnt many at all!

Even with Pinap berry and incense i only got to about 60! But at least i evolved it once!

ListenLinda · 09/06/2019 01:43

I walked for miles today :)

Hatched some eggs, got a lot of pokemon, included three slakoths that spawned in sainsburys car park when i was avoiding the worst of the weather 😂.

Thanks for the adds guys aswell, I’ve sent a couple of gifts to a few people.

PickAChew · 09/06/2019 00:41

And yes, evolved a high cp shiny (don't care about iv for slakoth because I'm never spending stardust on it or raiding with it) and the evolutions Rd as dull as shiny golem.

PickAChew · 09/06/2019 00:38

Oh, Snap!

@ListenLinda my top tip is to make friends. You can level up by becoming Great and Best Friends when chucking eggs. When you raid use Star Pieces. Save Stardust to power up only the 'Mon you plan to use in battles or raids. Stardust is rare and must be used wisely. Pinap any shinies, it's a great way to accumulate candy.

More than any of that, enjoy playing this daft game. It's a great way to get exercise in, it gets you out in the open air and it's FUN.

Shocker of a PoGo day, and I wish I hadn’t trekked to town to take part. I was in agony and there were so few spawns.

Hoping for better stuff next time.

pikapikachu · 08/06/2019 22:48

Apparently it wasn't great around Europe but the countries who are an hour or two ahead of us got that extra hour or two. In my experience it was fine until 3:30 UK time. After that there wasn't even event Pokemon. Maybe the adventure event will be extended another day?

I used some lures today and think that Niantic should reimburse people like me tbh.

pottypotamus · 08/06/2019 22:26

Yeah it was the same for me Tumpy. I took DS to a bday party for the first couple of hours and got away for the last hour but there was hardly anything around. Pretty disappointing.

tumpymummy · 08/06/2019 22:24

I didn't realise the weather would affect community day. How was it for people outside of the UK? I was at an event most of the afternoon but managed to slip away around 5pm. There were so few slakoths I had to check what time the event finished as I thought it had ended already. Plenty of Pokemon around but not slakoths, and no shinies. Kind of defeats the purpose of the event if there aren't many doesn't it? I managed over a million XP from all my friend levelling up, thanks. Still a long way to go to get to level 40.

Of course Mumma. We're really friendly, honest.

I managed to get 6 shiny Slakoth, which I'm more than happy with. :o

I’m going to keep him pink, the other shiny evolutions look rubbish.

xSharonNeedlesx · 08/06/2019 19:55

Here’s my shiny. All 13cp of him!

I was also disappointed in the lack of skakoth's I was caught up in family stuff and only managed to skip out briefly to our local park but I only caught a couple. I got 300xp from friends though so not all bad. I'm almost halfway through level 39 now.

WitchSharkadder · 08/06/2019 19:31

I had a bit of a lucky surge in the last half an hour and got 3 shiny slakoths and a shiny lileep!

Thank you, Funnel, it's only been 3 long years! Grin

funnelfanjo · 08/06/2019 19:09

Thanks to those levelling up today, I’m now at level 39 and start the slog to 40! Congratulations WitchSharkadder.

pikapikachu · 08/06/2019 19:06

The CD spawns were shit as in-game weather was done and lots of spawns are programmed with the weather in mind. I caught 2 shiny in the first 15 minutes and one was 91% so happy with that but not impressed with the lack of slakoth spawns Angry I liked having 1/4 egg distance though. Hatched quite a few eggs (but nothing good)
