This Mankey's Gone To Devon. Pokemon Go Thread #26

This shadow is Turtwig isn’t it? I have Turtwig and all its evolutions but for some reason they’re showing as shadows for me this morning?!

@PhilomenaButterfly Step away from the Pineapple... Depending on the area, there is a lot of ‘drift’ on gyms and I’ve missed joining a few raids where I can’t get in while everyone else is in the lobby. The worst for it that I know is called Dirty Dicks and I’m certainly not pressing my nose there...

@murree I love my Gotcha. I set it to autocatch mode and it means i can multi-task ie spin a poke stop while it’s catching Pokémon or vice versa, or carry on catching/spinning while I’m doing a rocket battle/sending gifts/checking Pokédex etc. It’s quicker too, it can start trying to catch before it appears on screen. I walk/train mostly and catch far more than usual with it so it’s great for building XP and stardust. And occasionally catches stuff that I didn’t even see was there. Its £30 from Amazon and worth it IMHO.

@YogaDrone Anytime today? My DD is poorly so I’ll be indoors on WiFi all day...

@feesh I honestly don’t know if I will be in a position to egg at 8am on Saturday. If I send a gift to you, you can open it when it suits you. I’ll hold on to your gift until after. I’ll hit level 40 whether I have an egg on or not when you trigger it!

I’m due to level up with quite a few people on Saturday so I don’t mind missing out on the extra XP in this case.

Yeah, some unusual and varied spawns around. I've had loads of Mareeps, Alolan Sandshrews and other rare mons in my living room the last couple of hours.

@PhilomenaButterfly, sometimes the GPS is just a bit off. I either reboot the app or walk around and see where works.

Wow, found a wild absol! Its rubbish but still I'm liking the pokemon spawns atm

Nobody noticed my post...

Nose still touching pineapple...

😭

I have 1400 item storage and constantly run out of space. I'd like to spend my coins on Pokémon storage but it goes on incubators and item storage

I've got 1500 spaces in my Pokémon storage, still always filling it up though. I can never bring myself to transfer shinies but I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get rid of some (I'm looking at you lot, 25 shiny Slakoths)

I hatched my first Gible today at last. I didn't get my Unown 'T' though which was the only one I needed (out of this week's batch, I haven't got 27/28 or anything)

64 yeah I agree. I hate using coins for it but there's so much space being taken now with shinies / shadow / purified and plus the other stuff, I don't know how some people cope. And I throw away a lot of repeat shinies or I would have no space left.

Dulce if you’re storing 1450 I won’t feel so bad about investing in a bit more capacity. I always want to use coins for something more fun, but storage is important ...

Spectacular fail today at soloing an Alolan Raichu. I tried eight times and wiped out my stock of revives but just couldn’t bloody do it. But I kept coming SO close 😩😩

Muree yes you can. You can have it on if you're not in the mood to play and it will work. Or you can have it on while you play and it will catch stuff for you. I do have mine on during community day just because sometimes there's too much to check so we sort of share the load. Having said that you will potentially have shinies run away from you (but you won't know so it won't hurt!)

I try to keep at least 300 red balls as they can run out pretty quick if I do a long drive. I've had a few shinies caught on it but not many. I mainly like it because I drive around in school traffic and it works perfectly then as I'm never driving too fast.

On other news I've hatched a T!! It's a miracle. I now have 15 out of 26 unown. Yay.

No Unowns here but I did hatch a Feebas which has at least helped with that task.
Only 4 candies to go!

@funnelfanjo we are 3 hours ahead here, does that make any difference? My kids are at a party from 11am-1pm our time which is perfect for me to have a cheeky play, does that work for you or is it too early in the day?

hello, we play with DS - what is coordinegging please? We've got to level 26 with only 3 friends so far, think we are blagging it...

I just ordered one today....

Can anyone tell me how the gotcha works? Do you need to have the app open as well for it to work? Can you play with the app and use the gotcha along side it, like on community day?

I am seriously tempted to get one!

I'm QueenTweeze btw.

Is Guzzlord725 on here? We go Ultra in 2 days. My first time doing this I'm afraid. Hope I don't get it wrong!

"YogaDrone Community Day is 11am-2pm on 15th I believe, no idea what I’m doing on that day but shall we say 11am for now but we can change nearer the time if that’s going to be tricky for either of us. In terms of a battle, are you available tomorrow at all?"

@Blueroses99
11am on 15th sounds good to me, thanks. Later is fine too. I plan to be nursing a hangover after a party on Saturday. DS is at a friends

I'm sorry I missed your post. Do you still need battles? I am around all evenings this week except Wednesday.

It only works at 50 kph or under. I set mine to automatically spin every gym/ stop as I drive past. It keeps my bag topped up with balls and gifts. The other players where I live all use it to catch Pokémon too - it certainly boosts your shiny rate, and makes it easier if you use more than one phone. I have used it to catch Pokémon but I didn't find it as satisfying and I'm not a competitive player so now don't bother.

I love my gotcha but only use it for spinning stops whilst I'm driving. It means I never run out of balls anymore.

@Dulcedelecherocks oh it works when driving??

@feesh I could see it coming as they've sent me gifts all week but wouldn't open the one I'd sent them until today 🙈
