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

49 zygarde cells - will this be the weekend? And if it is do I upgrade current lacklustre zygarde or live in hope that there may be more of them one day?

gillybean2 · 14/10/2023 00:57

@JulianFawcettMP I’m happy for you to go ahead whenever suits you as I’m not in need of xp. Of course I may live to regret that if the rumours that level 60 is coming are to be believed…

Ah! Shiny Aipom!!!! WinkYou are not. DS and I once shouted 'Shiny Onyx!' in chorus on a busy street.

And she is gorgeous. Well caught!

Just got this and shouted "shiny Aipom" our very loudly in the quiet pub I'm in. Blush DH and I are two of only 5 people (and one dog) in at the time so it was very noticeable. Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this excited though? 🤣

I've got a few people I could level up with on Sunday, preferably at the start of community day. I don't know names on here but Pokémon Go names are:

*Mutsi8295
GeoGilly2
Three4tee
Goldfshgirl
*
I'm Malidice in the game. Would you all like to level up at 2pm on Sunday? I don't want to "dirty egg'!

I got one. And another. I am so nearly better. I picked DS up from school yesterday and took him this morning but not bus or Pokewalk ready yet.

It’s smoliv and they are popping up everywhere so you may get lucky if you put an incense on. Be sure to pinapp them as you need to evolve it for the harvest festival timed research.
Sorry to hear your ankle is still playing up. Can you get on a slow moving bus and try and catch a few mon as you go perhaps?

Yeah, unfortunately you have to be near each other to trade. And, stupid sprained ankle, there are silhouettes of a Pokémon I haven't got and I can't walk to them.

I am currently going through the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl series on the BBC because I had never seen it. Tbh, it's pretty good. I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I have now hatched three Larvestas in under a week 🤣

I think trainers who have got to Best Friends should be able to trade remotely, but AFAIK it's not possible. The regionals roll around in the events though, I find (I would never have got Pachirisu or Carnivine otherwise, or Kangasthan/Tauros for that matter).

The Masterball research raids are starting to drag now. I have sixteen to go I think, but I don't spend RL money on the game so as tempting as it is to just buy a pile of remote raid passes and get it out of the way I can't really.

BarbaraWoodlouse · 12/10/2023 09:52

I would love a trade off. The first investment I make in extended research and I can’t move on as I don’t have a Kangaskhan! How do trades work? Do you have to be physically nearby? I think we are best friends @ISaySteadyOn so wondering if I can get a Tauros to you…

Goldminch, AlexSamMum, GrebotheCat, SquigletPig, if you are on here, I think we're due to level up on the Timburr community day. Shall we put lucky eggs on at 2?

@ISaySteadyOn I have plenty of taurus to spare. Maybe we need to have a mumsnet pogo gathering so we can trade.

I'll happily trade a Kangaskhan!

ISaySteadyOn · 12/10/2023 06:11

Yes, I agree. But I do like the Stardust and XP.

I think a PoGo trade Mumsnet meetup is a great idea 😀

gillybean2 · 12/10/2023 00:49

Did anyone else splash out on the ticket of treats? I’m finding it very lacklustre. I thought the rewards worked out as cheaper than buying the items I wanted but all I’m getting is 1.5 stardust and xp on the first catch of the day. I mean I don’t even notice what my first catch is half the time as the go plus+ is generally catching them…
Hopefully it’ll be a bit more interesting next week and I’ll start getting the promised encounters and reward items…

Knotaknitter · 10/10/2023 19:08

LovelyBouncy - did OhVienna friend you from here? We're both holding the last gift and I didn't want to not let you have the chance of the extra xp from the lucnky egg.

385 excellent throws from that Masterwork research! I managed at last!

I don't know. It does seem annoying because I really need a Tauros but those are only found in the US and I could trade someone there a Mr Mime which is only found here in England.

This sprained ankle is very bad for PoGo. But good for battling because it is what I can do sitting here.

You'll all know when it is better by the varied postcards 😀

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 09/10/2023 08:20

I've got some extra/spare older event Pokémon which I have been reluctant to get rid of because I thought I could trade with someone for some of the newer ones. But I believe you have to be next to someone to trade? Could you do it using the same VPN and pretending you're near each other???

thirdfiddle · 08/10/2023 18:06

That would be a brilliant functionality SteadyOn. I could send DH potions, I'm always binning them and he complains he's running out.

ISaySteadyOn · 08/10/2023 17:53

I wish we could give friends specific items. Like, for example, I could give @SocksAndTheCity a star shard so she could up her stardust quotient 🙂

Maxing up 3 Pokémon is level 46 going up to 47. That's the one I'm stuck on, got one maxed up and it's just a matter of stardust and candies. I think I'm getting close so hopefully I'll level up soon. I didn't think I would get the XP goal before doing that because I started from 0 with the XP.

SocksAndTheCity · 08/10/2023 11:26

I think there will be quite a lot of that today because people will just want to get through their fifty battles - it was last time IIRC.

My stardust took a proper kicking on whichever level it was where you had to max out three pokémons (I'd already done the ones I wanted not knowing I should have waited) so I like any chance to build it back up 😀

KevinAndHerKits · 08/10/2023 10:43

I just played against someone who fielded three starter Pokémon in the Master League. I didn't really understand what they were doing, but I guess if you're just trying to get 50 battles done then it makes sense.

SocksAndTheCity · 08/10/2023 10:22

It does, but I'd rather play the game properly and get more stardust. Plus I quite like PVP Smile
