Pokemon Go #2. 6 balls to catch a Pidgey?!?

I'm a couple of thousand XP from level 20. Once there I might just grind up all the rubbish for candies and evolve the best ones.

Did my mass evolve last night, I'm now just 2000 away from level 21. I have a 10k egg half walked hoping to finish today. Not fussed what it is as long as the cp is around 1500. Seem to be doing really well from 5k egs at the moment too, hatching good cp pokemon. Upgraded a bellsprout that I hatched to a 950cp weeping bell last night. Though I have a similar issue that a lot I'm hatching are the only ones I have so I have a good Charmander, Ryhorn, Machop and a few others from eggs that I'm not sure I'm going to want to evolve yet.

How's everyone deciding what to use as their buddy? I'm torn between collecting candies for ones that will evolve easily for new things and fast xp or collecting for ones I think will evolve and be good in gyms.

death I want to get to 142 in the pokedex so I'm going for evolutions! That's my buddy selection. 9 to go!

QueenLizIII · 14/10/2016 14:57

I hatched an Eggecute today with a 5k egg and came with 21 candies

Sweet. Now I have 2 and can walk the other to evolve

QueenLizIII · 14/10/2016 14:58

Ive also found a reliable site to catch Omanyte

Natsku · 14/10/2016 15:26

Was hoping to find some blue gyms to train at but red and yellow have taken over my town and the gyms are such a high level it'll take ages to knock them down so couldn't do that today as didn't have enough time before I had to pick up DD.

Only about 10k left to go before I can evolve Pikachu - will do my mass evolve session then.

nuttelladreams · 14/10/2016 15:37

Got carried away with training and am now in 8 gyms.
Has anyone increased item storage? Worth it?
I've used pretty much all my potions on my little trip this afternoon but it was cool to get into so many gyms.

Have enough for my manchamp and vileplume. That will give me 130 on pokedex. Now have nidoran male as my buddy. Have 60 candy so it will take a while but I catch the odd one here and there so hopefully it will help.

Will do mass evolve this weekend. Am hoping to get close to 80k with the faster evolutions.

PokemonGo · 14/10/2016 15:52

My item storage is at 650 and I'm thinking of upgrading it to 700. I'd saved up 1250 for 25 lucky eggs but I'm currently staying in a city where there are zillions of pokestops. Decisions decisions .... I've got 166 poke balls, 201 great balls and 95 ultra balls, 63 max potion, 43 revive and 43 max revive. I can get 4 pokestops from my bed. 😂

I left my big lapras 2350 ish in a gym yesterday and now I'm worried I won't ever get him back.

nuttelladreams · 14/10/2016 16:09

Wow that's a lot of storage! I might get it up to 400 Grin

QueenLizIII · 14/10/2016 16:19

I caught 5 Omanyte today. I think that is a reliable nest.

I took 3 gyms too. Still not done the training thing.

There are zillions of players who spoof etc. The cheaters around my town are more subtle than they were but I still know they cheat as they take back gymswhile I'm at the gym and I can see no one else is there. 😡😡😡. I can't tell for sure they are cheating in the built up areas but there are a few remote gyms in the nearby countryside where you can see no ones there.

You can report. I reported the obvious ones and they've dissapeared.

Dillite2 · 14/10/2016 17:03

How do you report spoofers? I am convinced that the gyms in my town are mostly run by spoofers as they reset to top levels as soon as you knockbthem down a level.

Dillite2 · 14/10/2016 17:07

How on earth do you even get a 3000cp pokemon?

I guess at level 32 the CP must be higher.

But how did they get to that level without playing it 24/7.

I am now making a sport out of catching the crappest CP I can find. You get them with one ball and benefit from the stardust.

I caught a 24 CP Golbat today Grin

tumpymummy · 14/10/2016 18:17

I am really struggling to get high CP pokemon. Even after my mass evolve last night most of mine are in the 1200s. I have 1 good snorlax that I caught ages ago in America that I have powered up to 1966CP, but I havent caught anything high for weeks even though I'm now level 23. Everything I catch is around 500CP. Have no idea how you get a 3000CP pokemon, although that player is level 30.

QueenLizIII · 14/10/2016 18:22

I was pleasantly surprised in a gym today.

My Venomoth got picked to fight.
Id never used it before. It beat the crap out of an Eggecutor with a higher CP.

reddA · 14/10/2016 19:25

I should level up to 32 tonight after a lucky egg, I have 2 over 3000, the top one is 100% IV. I have days when I don't play now but I did hammer it in the beginning Blush.

Eggs are still disappointing me, cubone, shellder and diglet today. Got them all many times over. Oh and a ratatta.

Ran out of incubators again now so will have to wait for a while to get more.

I do however catch my first ever onix today though! I've only ever seen a shadow once before and this one showed up mwre seconds after levelling up to 22. Makes me wonder if each players game is coded to release certain mons at certain times. Like if it's different per level and per team or location so people have different experiences but not all at once....hmmm.

EnidButton · 14/10/2016 19:49

Much excitement earlier when I saw a Pikachu...shadow. Think this is the closest I'm ever going to get.

PeachGoddess · 14/10/2016 20:15

I've found you! Woo!

I'm not playing as much but I need to know if anyone has this... on my pokedex, loads of Pokemon are coming up as seen, snorlax, charizard, blastoise etc but I haven't seen the bloody things! Is anyone else's doing this?!

Dillite2 · 14/10/2016 20:31

It's because you have seen them in a gym. A very annoying feature.

Oh wow, how did youbget that many dragonite's? I don't even have one. And you have such variety as well! I am extremely jealous.

Those of you past level 25- do you spend quite a bit of your own money? I have spent a fiver on coins, mixed with google survey credits, and it has certainly helped, but it has made me think that there's just no way that I will be able to get past level 25 without buying even more coins.

Natsku · 14/10/2016 20:32

Its because of the new update, seeing a pokemon in a gym counts as seeing them in the wild now.

Just did a bit of powering up which I haven't done much before, still don't have anything higher than roughly 1700 - need more time to play but really busy fixing my house :(

Starlight2345 · 14/10/2016 20:56

I have had a place on a gym since monday...It is an out of town shopping centre expect tonight to be my last night.

Caught my third ponyta today and just caught a clee fairy.. only need one more candy to evolve so going to swap my buddy at the end of his 3k.
