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

Anyone around who fancies a raid? Groundon for next half hour (kathwithcats, ooheathcliff.)

I haven't managed to complete Noxious Swamp. There are not many raids where I live and I haven't been into my office (which usually has a few nearby) while the event has been on. I'm glad I haven't missed too much!

gillybean2 · 21/08/2023 11:31

Don’t worry about coordinating with me. Open whenever suits you. I don’t need the exp. I’m trying not to open gifts from anyone on here atm so I don’t accidentally miss the levelling up as a few are close.

I'm glad Noxious Swamp didn't lead to anything very exciting. To do that would have been challenging. Still no routes near me....grrr

Sounds excellent. Am GalarianPony920 in case anyone needs a reminder.

Finished the routes quest. Was fun except I got targeted by a pigeon. Did catch a shiny Venonat though.

FFS MN sending my message before I'm ready! All the above and GalarianPony920 are less than 7 days from best friends. Anyone want to co-ordinate eggs/gifts?

What about some time during Go Fest Global next weekend? That gives everybody a week to get caught up and ready Smile

Sure. The Noxious Swamp event is looking pretty challenging, I think.

I finished three of the raid bits in one go by hanging around for a Druddigon raid where a few other people were joining in; I didn't quite throw any old shit in the battle party for the <2500CP task but I wouldn't have stood a chance of soloing it 😁

The pokémon reward at the end is a Jangmo-o which is OK - I don't have a decent enough Hakamo-o to make it worth evolving yet though.

I've got several people from this thread who I'm (HeleniaBram) very close to going best friends with - GeoGilly2, goldfshgrl, Schmoigle1234, CharlotteToby15, Cobbblers, Three4tee,

How lovely to see this thread still going strong more than 7 years after it first started. I don't think I've caught anything interesting lately other than a 100% shadow Mareep which has been evolved into Ampharos and powered up to Level 35.

Good luck to all on the friendliest thread on MN.

I got another cell today. In almost exactly the same spot as last time, it's around 200m from the end of the 709m route. I don't know if that's coincidence or they have certain spots they're more likely to spawn.

Knotaknitter · 15/08/2023 08:01

I've had nine cells and seen two more that vanished as I touched them. My son has had three or four. They've all appeared during the route, not afterwards although there have been a couple that have been very close to the end.

My morning walk is a two route walk with a coffee stop half way around but I'm a fair weather walker so have been slacking this last week.

Tarkan · 14/08/2023 20:53

I've only found one cell so far but it was around 3/4 of my way along the route and appeared as I was walking. It just appeared like the Pokémon do as you walk along.

For me, it appeared within the route. But I can't say within which part.

gillybean2 · 14/08/2023 20:05

Can anyone tell me if the zygarde cell appears before you finish the route or afterwards. The routes (all 2 of them) I’ve tried keep automating finishing when I get close even when I hold back trying to find a cell. Doesn’t help that if I’m walking I have to hold onto my mobility devices so can’t hold/look at my phone and walk.
On the plus side I have found a route that can be driven if you do it the wrong way as part of it is along a one way road. Doesn’t help if it pauses mid route though as I have to drive right round town to get back to the start. Bet that route doesn’t stay in the game long!

I got a 100 % shadow Abra. I am not allowed to purify it ever but I was permitted to evolve it.

SocksAndTheCity · 14/08/2023 14:50

I badly want a Larvesta.

I have hatched dozens of the eggs and got nowhere, but I did hatch a shiny Amaura at Go Fest after spending the whole of Adventure Week checking every one I saw and getting nowhere, so that makes up for it a bit 😊

Tarkan · 14/08/2023 13:16

I didn't think I had a Larvesta yet but I've just checked and I got one back in June. 🙈

I got a 100% shadow Numel the other day which I thought was pretty cool, the first time a shadow one was 100% for me.

That's great! They are pretty cool. I have managed to do a few routes. And there are now some within walking distance of where I live. Can't submit any yet though which is too bad because I have a good one.

I hatched a Larvesta from a 2km egg last week, I'm surprised that you didn't hear me shout from over there.

I am glad to hear that. I love sending gifts and receiving them. For me, the best part is seeing who everyone has as their buddy. I have an Eevee that I am trying to evolve into an Umbreon so I can meet the level up requirements.

I am excited because yesterday I hatched a Hisuian Growlithe which was pretty cool. DH got a Larvesta and offered to trade it to me (not for the growlithe) because he loves me but I said no because I am determined to hatch one myself.

Have you all hatched or caught anything interesting lately?

Thanks to all those who added me and my sons on the last thread (EevieEevieEevie) and for all the daily gifts, they have made my boys very happy! We are currently continental if anyone is trying to get a continental scatterbug. My code is
