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

[DoctorTwo]

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.

Finally something exciting has happened for the first time in days

Hope yours was better than mine, devil :o

Mine is on the numpty bench with my CP25 Gengar.

It's a shit one like nearly all my Pokémon but I was just so happy to see it! Literally nothing for days, not even weedles.

But yeah less shit than yours 😃

My 5k egg hatched a poliwag, which meant I could evolve it in to a poliwhirl. Very excited to have a new one on the dex. I'm walking with a nidoran as that was the closest in candies I had to an evolve.

Why do people knock Pokemon out of the gym and leave it empty.

There is an empty gym now about 200m from my house. it is winking at me. I actually thought about going to fill it. At this hour.

I got another Dratini today that I caught.

Now have 4 candies. Only another 96 to go to evolve my Dragonair.

Queen sometimes ones on bus routes or train lines it's cause you're close enough to fight for a short time, but once you defeat it you're too far to get something in.
That and the repeated error message have stopped me putting pokemon in.
I've heard some folk only fight for the xp so don't bother putting their pokemon in. Can't understand it.
Nice player locally takes a gym and fights it up 2-3 levels then posts on Facebook so others can go into the extras handy!

Queen buddy it like my dragonair. It's not disheartening at all

I often knock a pokemon out whilst on a bus or train, and then it moves too far away and I can't put my one in.

I leave them empty if I've battled it for fun and points but know I can't claim coins for ages so won't hold it. Although I am more likely to put a low level Pokemon in to hold for my team and then level it up a bit for others to jump in easily. All depends if I have the potions spare.

My gym stupidity continues. I've only gone and levelled up a gym from 8 to 9 only to realise I was already there. I know one of you has done the same before.
Surely they should add a feature that tells you what gym your Pokemon is in????

At least I've cashed in on 3 gyms this morning. Better than nothing.

Oh and I'm about to hatch a 2k egg. I reckon it's a wheedle. Any other guesses?

Ratatta! Or Zubat. Hate those flappy fuckers

New phone is working well but my house is still a pokemon desert.

Out of desperation I bought some incense and gained........ three weedles, a pidgey and a caterpie. I had two 10k eggs on the go and hatched an Eevee and a Jynx, my three 2k eggs were all Ratattas.

On the plus side I won my first gym and held it for 10 mins

Yep. Zumbat. Grrr.

I had two 10k eggs hatch this morning. The first one was an Onix but the second one made up for it - my first aerodactyl. I caught a dratini too so it was a decent walk.

Im walking eggecute at the moment. As i have 26 candies and only need 50.

I have only 113 pokemon. I am getting a little tired of it all tbh.

I did a big Lucky Egg evolve session yesterday (about 63) and jumped from level 19 to 21. Flushed with success I nipped to the local gym, took it off it's sole inhabitant and claimed it for Team Mystic - first time I've done this so very exciting. Mind you I'd been kicked out by the time I got to work!

I did a lot of powering up of my new exciting friends (Jolteon, Flareon...) and have realised Stardust is not actually unlimited. Also Revives and Potions have become things I desperately need, rather than stuff to throw out. It's fun though.

I've never checked that I had enough stardust for an evolve session. Must have been lucky so far!

To be honest I don't tend to use it much.

soupdragon only gutted because my other 10km was a pinsir and eevee and I never get 10km eggs! So much effort to not get something new will trade you it later

Hatched two meowths, growlithe and bellsprout today - needed all that candy and got a Persian at last

Yay, my buddy Kabuto has finally walked far enough to evolve (75km!).

Wondering what to buddy with next though - I evolved a Rapidash last week else it'd be that. And DD caught me my last Voltorb needed to evolve that one.

Maybe it should be Magikarp, I still need 30 or so candies before I can get my Gyarados.

Hang on you need stardust for an evolve session?

Stardust to evolve. What?!

Do Magikarp run gyrados is good!

I've never heard of that!!

Also I have no eggs left, and the pokestops I went to didn't give me any
