New thread. No routes where I am. We're going to be at Pokémon Go Fest on 6 August. V excited.

Hands up, who has Larvesta as their buddy? I raise my own. He's going to be my buddy for a long time. 400 candy to evolve! If you have one, how far are you in the candy quest?

Took me two months to evolve, I hatched three then luckily with all the raid days recently ALL my rare candy went into him. I also do GBL so the rare candy from that helped Smile

It's a 5 km distance. I don't mind so much. I am getting quite fond of Larry (I named him) now. It will be better once he's a great buddy and can help catch.

I am enjoying routes but I keep forgetting about the zygarde cells. That's because I get excited about the gift exchange at the end. It's neat to get postcards from all over the world.

Another with a Larvesta buddy - mine has been best buddies for ages and I'm still only on around 200 candies. I do swap it out for the odd research task though.

I'm envying my sprite today because I bought her a Giratina jacket that comes with a stripy jumper and I want one just like it 😀

PickAChew · 17/02/2024 12:31

Just checked and I've hatched 3 larvesta and have 120 candy, 22 candy xl. Only 19 frigibax candy.

Tarkan · 17/02/2024 11:56

I just checked my larvesta and I'm sitting on 42 candies so I've chucked it in my buddy list. I'm still trying to get that 10 best buddies task. I'd be a lot faster if I could be arsed to go through them all adding hearts every day. Blush

I should really check which other ones I need candies for and add them to my list of buddies. I've renamed them all as the imaginative name of "Buddy" so it's easier to find them when I have time to go through them all. Grin

My larvesta is still languishing on 20-something candies. I occasionally sit it in gyms and feed it spare berries but that's about the limit of my efforts. What's it's walking distance?

Still haven't upgraded a frigibax yet either, caught a few and hatched a couple so that's closer. Also just sneaking the odd candy in gyms ATM.

In other grind news, zygarde cells still ongoing, the end is in sight (170/200). I'm giving her my rare candy with a view to making friends with her soon.

Larvesta community day! 😂

I do. It's not getting its hands on my rare candy. It will take a while but it will inevitably be everywhere, at some point.

Knotaknitter · 17/02/2024 10:52

I hatched exactly two larvesta, mine has been wearing the best buddy badge forever. It eats all my rare candies and I evolved it last week.

Woohoo, just hit my platinum magikarp! Ds got his last week. A good trick is to trade large ones with a friend so you can both double up a bit quicker. Good luck to everyone still chipping away towards gold and platinum.
Next I just need another 295 tiny rattata…

Still need the silver before I start on gold or platinum! 🤣 Even if I can find a friend to double up it's still a long way off, that must have taken some dedication!

WhatAboutMyIcecream · 12/02/2024 21:30

Thanks to everyone who re-added me! I finally finished the Mew mission today too so it’s been a successful day!

@AlmostLegendary I am sorry I missed 8. Dealing with recalcitrant small people yelling in my ear.

I think it mainly worked, I had horrible problems logging in (having thought I'd timed everything to perfection) so was also a little late!

Eevie I've got you now.

Not sure the magikarp platinum will ever be achievable...lots of magikarp but not many large ones out and about at the moment!

PickAChew · 10/02/2024 00:35

Have sent a request. Trainer name begins with O.

Finally got my gold magikarp medal, tonight. At this rate, only another 18 years to get the platinum.

WhatAboutMyIcecream · 09/02/2024 22:01

Ive not been on the thread for a while but was friends with a lot of you. I’m EevieEevieEevie. Unfortunately my sons were playing on my phone and managed to delete the vast majority of my friends 😱 so if anyone would like to add me I’m 392981154295

That would work fine. I will remind myself 🙂

I managed to walk her far enough to evolve a while ago. Then I discovered the next task was to evolve a feebas - which I'd just done a couple of days before, so I had no candy and binned the feebas I'd just got, as I didn't think I needed it! 🤦Fortunately DS was able to transfer me a replacement, but I had to walk a long way to replace the candy. I am slowly learning patience!

I'm hoping to egg just after 20:00 on Thurs for levelling up friendships, would that work @ISaySteadyOn? Not sure who anyone else is on the thread but GohE2017 and Schmoigle1234 we could also go then? I accidentally did Veasard today by joining a raid having been saving the gift ready to do with everyone else. I think I preferred it when I had no idea when the levelling up was going to happen and it just came as a nice surprise, this has been quite hard work to try and organise. 🤣

AlmostLegendary, wild goldfish! Trust you have a happy and well fed gyarados now :)

AlmostLegendary · 30/01/2024 14:41

Thank you (or pass on thanks to your son), I'll probably have everything lined up and then forget what I'm doing and open everything with no egg anyway!
