Just realised the Drampa I got from research the other day was a 100% one. Nice.

Awesome. I unlocked the shiny Pokédex with the 3* shiny Heatran I caught in a raid.

I have got DH into PoGo and he needs to do the make new friends task. Could he add a few of you?

Hi I have been remiss about checking in.

Managed to get a shiny darkarai on Saturday which was great my larvesta is on 259 candies and best buddy status 😂.

My son is looking forward to the road to sinnoh. Thankfully we have a lovely group in local town that meets for raid hour which makes it an easy 15 mins with 2 gyms next to each other. Looking forward to Giratina on Friday.

Will try and be better at gifts

I have added you Sneakygremlin

Thanks gillybean, I've been wanting to find that link again. I'm ok on most but I still need some more Icy Snow ones. I've had two so far but I like having at least one of each evolution stage for all Pokémon.

ISaySteadyOn · 18/02/2024 11:31

I should do that for the Vivillons. I need to check which spewpas I can evolve already.

Caught a 4 star Mr Mime yesterday. That was good.

I do lots of routes, but I get the impression some regions don't have as many, so there aren't any postcards coming from some places. @gillybean2 the regional friend codes looks really useful for mopping up the ones I've not got yet!

KevinAndHerKits · 18/02/2024 11:05

Another approach to Vivillon collection is to do lots of routes. You get a random gift at the end from Mateo which can be from anywhere.
I'm out of the habit of doing routes, but I'm doing a step count challenge so I might try and do more in hopes of getting my missing butterfly (Sun - I had a friend who obviously took some holidays in Dubai so I'm fine for Sandstorm).

gillybean2 · 18/02/2024 10:52

I’ve posted this before, but anyone working on vivillion this can be very helpful

It’s a shame no one appears to lives close to me. I have spares of all scatterbugs regions, umpteen shinies to trade as well as various regionals. I keep hanging on to them just in case…

I'd love to store a bit more lucky candy, but my item bag is still pretty tiny. Since taking advice on here I shove it all at my (small) collection of legendaries and patiently walk everything else.

I am currently lucky friends with a work colleague's husband, so just working out a socially acceptable way to meet up and trade Pokémon, apart from that almost all my friends are online so not sure we'll ever be close enough to organise trades. I don't know if the game knows that and only makes you lucky friends with people who are fairly local?!

Maybe just meet them both for a coffee or something? The trade bit won't take all that long.

No it's just luck who becomes a lucky. Smile

PickAChew · 17/02/2024 23:25

I have lucky friends in Japan and Mexico.

I've just picked up a shiny noibat - now need to decide if I'm going to throw 400 candy at a 0 star Pokémon, or evolve the decent one I've had waiting for ages... There are a few evolutions which have been really hard work where I've been underwhelmed with the end result, so not sure what will be the most worthwhile, something which is actually worth having for fighting with, or just a pretty one to leave on display at the gym!

Not sure who is on here but I was hoping to do an egg tomorrow morning for best friends with BenFry10 and ultra friends AlexandEthan999 and LolaRose95. Around 10?

Noibat had a community day, last year, so just hold off because there will be plenty more opportunities or, alternatively, evolve the pretty green one because there is no real use for a high IV one.

Keep the shiny to do a mirror trade when you’re lucky friends. I walked my first noibat for miles to get the candy. Then we had community day and I’ve got 6 evolved, too many shinies and over 3,400 candy and almost 500xl candy 😵Candy will come but good stats are harder to find.

I now keep 400+ rare candy just in case I need to evolve something in a hurry…🤐

gillybean2 · 17/02/2024 22:18

Hatched 6 larvesta so far. One 98% which I’ve evolved but not fully powered up. Have 87 candy and 40xl candy in hand.
Also got 6 frigibax, one half evolved and one fully evolved. 78 candy and 33 xl in hand for that but holding out for a better one before I power anything up.

I’ve pretty much given up on routes. They’re really not fun to me. You have to keep staring at your phone and mostly miss whatever the route is supposedly showing you. I struggle with mobility so I simply can’t walk them. There are one or two I can drive but I have to go out of my way to do so and I simply can’t be bothered any more.

I do the routes as I'm trying to get all the scatterbugs, but not finding it that fun. My phone hasn't got the best GPS, so I've lost a few that way (although it also sometimes means I can grab a pokestop which is slightly further away than I should be able to reach from my sofa so it's not always bad to have a rubbish phone!), I sometimes forget to end them and often forget to pin the postcard when it finally gets to that point.

My last shiny was a Happiny I hatched a few days ago. I got a wild shiny Noibat the same day. Grin

porridgeisbae · 17/02/2024 19:32

@ISaySteadyOn At one point I had one of those phone cradles that walks your phone for you :) It might be worth it for the candies.

ISaySteadyOn · 17/02/2024 17:09

Nice! I hatched a shiny Alomola yesterday.
