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.

I have just changed my buddy to a Manchop..I could do with your 15 candies.

nuttelladreams · 16/10/2016 15:03

Typical. I bet now that I have nidoran as buddy I won't catch or hatch any!

On other news I've reported a user. I figure (and hope) nothing will happen to them if they are genuine.

QueenLizIII · 16/10/2016 15:18

I hatched 2 Bellsprouts yesterday. Wasn't annoyed as i needed the candies for Victreebell.

Buddy has made enough for a Nidoking.

Sandshrew is now my buddy as I need only 4 more.

The gyms are full of powerful pokeys today. Wont be able to knock them out.

Can't decide whether to buy incubators or get more bag storage first. I currently have 106 items in my bag after a weekend of gym battling and not enough pokestops. Not to mention 10 dead Pokemon I can't revive as I've ran out of them.

On the other hand my eggs are always so rubbish I don't know if it's worth it.

BumWad · 16/10/2016 19:38

Spent the day in London yesterday and what an absolute disappointment nothing but Ratatas, Pidgeys, Drowzees and bastard Weedles. The only new one I caught was a Wartotle - it looks like it's got a little willy hanging down on the greyed out bit Grin

After that shitty day in London I have only gone and hatched a Pidgey, Rattata and Weedle today. Seriously how shit is that? Caught a Pinsit today though but with only a CP of 382!!!!

I am however in 3 gyms so consistently collecting 30 coins everyday. I haven't had a 10K egg for ages, I think I've only ever had 2 or 3, how come some of you have loads? Is there certain places you can collect them?

After the shit I have hatched I'm not sure it's worth spending ££ on coins and incubators. Boo

QueenLizIII · 16/10/2016 19:52

Ive noticed certain stops are more likely to give 10k eggs. I will wait until I have space and test that theory.

FrogTime · 16/10/2016 20:19

Id love to know if there's a good 10km egg theory! Only ever had 2 and the second one was disappointing

QueenLizIII · 16/10/2016 20:28

I used to get 10k eggs all the time. I got Lapras, a Magmar and Pinsir and some other good ones.

Ive only had one in the last few weeks now.

EatingMyWords · 16/10/2016 20:55

My brother has the theory that some stops are better for 10k eggs. I've only had 4 or 5 altogether- however 2 have been snorlaxes so not complaining! I did get 2 in one day from one town nearby- not sure if it was the same stop though.

nuttelladreams · 16/10/2016 21:22

Someone said about train stations being good for 10k and that definitely doesn't work for me.
I've only had 2 recently. One hitmonlee and one electabuzz. My whole 9 eggs are currently 5k.

Do I bother with an incubator? Votes!

QueenLizIII · 16/10/2016 21:29

Someone said about train stations being good for 10k and that definitely doesn't work for me.

The one that has consistently given me a 10k egg is next to a rail station and is a massive bus station. Intersting

Starlight2345 · 16/10/2016 21:29

I have rubbish 2k eggs..Tonight hatched a ratta ... I have found my 5 k eggs better lately

QueenLizIII · 16/10/2016 21:30

I currently have 7 5ks and 2 2ks.

A bit shit.

nuttelladreams · 16/10/2016 21:37

That's interesting queen. I got my last 10k form a church down the road. The others I can't remember.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 16/10/2016 21:46

My local city (well nearest to me) has a pokemon go Facebook page. They're mapping out stops that give 10k eggs. Some stops are consistent. I got one in my village and I'm estatic....look!!

134 of 136 now. Annoyingly those two are from gym battles!

Enid you get fuck all. I think the next time there are some decent goodies is when yogurt to level 25. My levelling up to level 23 was the biggest anticlimax in the world of ever.

Chansey · 17/10/2016 00:05

My 10k eggs have been random. I haven't noticed a pattern at all. Caught a lickitung from my sofa this evening tho. Grin

EnidButton · 17/10/2016 00:16

dill Well that's shite. It's taken me forever to get close to finishing level 21 because I've not been able to get out much over the past few weeks. They've made the levelling up gradient too steep imo. The earlier levels flew by and then it took a little longer but not so bad and then boom, level 20 will take you 6 months, level 21; 3 years.

EnidButton · 17/10/2016 00:16

Thanks for letting me know though. I won't be as disappointed now.

nuttelladreams · 17/10/2016 07:08

If the link works it will tell you how much xp per level and what you get when you complete it.

Dillite2 · 17/10/2016 08:10

5 million xp to get to level 39!!!!!!!! It must take years to collect that many.

MagikarpetRide · 17/10/2016 08:15

10k eggs appear to be random for me too. But I have a stop that consistently gives out 2k and another that gives 5k. Usually containing a rattata or and Ekans. The ekans sticks with me because it's a st Patrick's church - literally handing out snakes now Grin

Does anyone get how this new bonus thing works? I'm completely confused.

reddA · 17/10/2016 08:28

So, level 1-10 is 55,000, level 11-20 is 215,000, level 21-30 is 2,240,000, level 31-40 is 40,000,000. It's ridiculous!! I'm 74,455/750,000 of Level 32, total XP so far 3074455, I can't see me getting to Level 40 in my lifetime!

tumpymummy · 17/10/2016 09:39

Thanks for that link nutella Although it makes the game even more disheartening when you see how much the XP goes up for each level. Enid I agree they've made the levels way too hard once you get over 20. And no reward really for ploughing all the way through until you get to level 25. Without a tracker I am definitely losing interest, especially as my second 10k egg hatched an eevee. Have only ever had 2 10K eggs and have no idea where I got them from! I got them just after I spent coins on an incubator.
