Oops we Diglett again! It's the rolling Mumsnet Pokémon Go thread

Bring your trainer codes, shinies and terrible puns

Hoping to get to the science museum this week for some of the special background pikachus.

I'm also one away for the showcase medal. Don't watch this space as I live in a busy area 😆

The science museum in South Kensington? Didn't know about special background pikachus there. Cool

Roomgigi · 06/10/2026 10:05

@Wurz if you visit the shop please let us know what you think of the merch. We found the NHM stuff disappointing but the Science Museum looks like it's a larger selection

Wurz · 06/10/2026 10:13

Yes there's an event with the different science museums in Europe with special research and background. Hopefully I can get a stash to trade also.

I haven't booked the shop, or the museum actually - I'm told all the stops and gyms can be reached from outside so might just see how busy it is when I get there
Same as you the NHM stuff I didn't find good quality. One water bottle the design has all rubbed off and it wasn't that long ago and I've been careful with it, no dishwasher etc. Do love my plushie though

@gillybean2 let me know if your DS has any particular requests - I've already done a remote trade today but can get set up for tomorrow if there's anything he wants at the mo?

Shiny wise he is after any of the following:
doduo, paras, corsola (but needs to be able to evolve), mothim, vespiquen, chingling, hippopotas (either one), mantyke

If you don’t have any of those he has a list of lucky trades (not shiny) that he’s after. Which includes:
stantler, numel, spheal, rotom, basculin, maractus, sigilyph, yamask, solosis, alomomola, cryogonal, clauncher, hawlucha, fomantis, salandit (female), oranguru, turtonator, tapu bulu, rolycoly, toxel, mr rime, runerigus, bombirdier, dondozo, annihilape, poltchageist

I can't do any of the shinies, unsurprisingly my 4 male combees haven't been getting much interest for remote trades! I can't bring myself to scrap shinies tho, even the totally useless ones.

I've tagged quite a few of the others, so hopefully there will be something useful.

Aargh! Just realised we're not lucky, I was sure we were.

LostThestral · 07/10/2026 12:03

Love doing the weekly team challenges but getting a bit fed up with the same reward every single week - there's only so many Tandemaus a person needs

ISaySteadyOn · 07/10/2026 13:12

Quite. Are there shiny tandemaus yet?

Wurz · 07/10/2026 13:25

Yes they can be shiny but it looks quite similar to the original colour

Have you got your family of 3 tandemaus? I was grateful for the rewards as needed candy to evolve until I finally got one. Ds still needs a family of 3…

How do you know if it will evolve into a trio or not?

VeryNearlyLegendary · 07/10/2026 22:22

It's random, you just have to keep evolving them and hope for the best.

I haven't got the family of 3 or an extra segment dudunsparse yet.

LostThestral · 08/10/2026 10:25

oh I didn't know there was a trio evolution - I've transferred loads of them without evolving

That’s ok. You need 50 candy for each evolve so you’ll be able evolve the next few you get. It’s taken a lot of evolving before I got it; 50th attempt…

Is GeoGilly on here please?

In other news I did get to the science museum so have lots of special backgrounds of Pikachu and other pokemon into the trade pot

OP posts:
gillybean2 · 15/10/2026 19:45

@Wurz yes I’m here.

Wurz · 16/10/2026 08:05

gillybean2 · 15/10/2026 19:45

@Wurz yes I’m here.

Thank you! I wondered if you wanted to trade anything as it popped up that you'd cancelled the last one. Feel free to message if easier

Hi all! I’ve just realised I forgot to share my news… a few weeks ago I was accepted as a community ambassador! Only took around 2.5 years from when I applied 🤣

How is everyone?

ISaySteadyOn · 16/10/2026 10:44

Congratulations! Good for you! 😁

SneakyGremlin · 17/10/2026 16:03

Life has been insane for a while! I've made it to the new thread

Tarkan · 19/10/2026 17:08

Minior is out now. Just caught my first!
