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've only caught 533 pidgeys. Wow.

How long does it take for someone to be blocked after you report them? All my local gyms have now been taken by this guy who I believe is spoofing. So annoying.

I'm just in one gym this morning and can't decide whether to claim the coin or not. Might not do much today so won't have a chance to get in anymore but it seems so little!

Hatched a doduo. Cute but I have loads. And have already evolved. On the plus side I've caught two nidoran (my buddy) so am on 88 candy. Almost ready for next evolve session. Bagged 63 and want to have 80 inc nidoran as new one.

What's everyone up to today then?

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 23/10/2016 07:35

I'm only at 487 Pidgeys! I blame my stupid rural spawn rate!

JellyWitch · 23/10/2016 07:56

I try and collect every morning so either take gyms before then. Or I take them at the end of the day (before a site closes or after the kids are in bed) with a view to holding and claiming in the morning.

It is annoying that you can only claim once in 21 hours as it puts me off having a play when I'm out for the day as I don't want to hold out and risk losing a claim for all my local gyms.

My Squirtle stayed in overnight after all so maybe that guy wasn't playing Pokemon.....

tumpymummy · 23/10/2016 09:19

nutella there is apparently a new charmander nest not far from me so am going to check that out at the same time as having a look at the white stuff sale!
No point doing any gyms today (unless I can just slip in) as I only have 2 revives left and my cash in time is not until midnight today. But will probably try the gyms tonight on my way back from the gym.

PokemonGo · 23/10/2016 09:41

I just cashed 10 gyms !!! ShockShockShock

That's the first time I e ever done that. As the game gets lets popular it gets better and better. Grin

Off for a walk along the river now - hopefully I'll find some magicarp

nuttelladreams · 23/10/2016 10:19

Oh I quite fancy a charmander nest!!!

And cash in on 10 gyms!!! Wow. I've cashed in on one this morning. Better than nothing I suppose.

I really need to catch some fun stuff. Gets so boring and repetitive otherwise.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 23/10/2016 10:27

Incense trick in action this morning. I love the ninetales!

Wow, that ninetails is super. I haven't got one 😪

I tried the incense trick on a ferry but I kept loosing my 3G even though I'd had good 3G on the same trip previously. I got a few good ones but nothing amazing.

JellyWitch · 23/10/2016 10:42

Wow - that wipes the floor with my ninetails - despite the fact she's been holding a gym for a week for me.

I clearly need a boat trip!

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 23/10/2016 12:01

Wipes the floor with my precious ones too! Quite chuffed as thought it would run!

Charmander nest this afternoon. Boyfriend unimpressed so I'm away with my friend!

Dillite2 · 23/10/2016 13:30

I think I might have to move to wherever lurker lives, as I have only ever come across a Vulpix in Spain and itvstill is my only one. I can't even dream of having a ninetails.

Went on a 2 hour walk and only caught a single podgey. And hatched a fucking paras. Battled a gym. Got it down to level 9. It's back to level 10 now. I don't know why I still bother with the sodding gyms, they always go back to level 10 in minutes.

BumWad · 23/10/2016 14:04

Shock whoops

What island is this?

Pokemonland?!

QueenLizIII · 23/10/2016 14:09

I caught a growlithe last night.

Only ever seen 2 but all them have crap CP.

Ive started seeing a charmander on my radar every night but it does not come out.

PickAChew · 23/10/2016 14:42

I set a lure which attracted a vulpix, yesterday. Better spawn rate than others I've done, too.

And we're still in the gym. I'm quite surprised about that.

PickAChew · 23/10/2016 14:44

Oh, and we have a new spawn point at home. It's about half an hour after all the others, though, so may have appeared a while back.

QueenLizIII · 23/10/2016 16:00

I found a level 7 remote gym and ive managed to stay in it for 3 days.

5k eggs a meowth and a tentacool Angry

PokemonGo · 23/10/2016 16:17

Flipping heck Whoops that's amazing. I recall a similar island but I only went there whilst sitting On the sofa in front of my N64 and playing Pokemon snap.

I am now in 12 gyms. ShockShockShock Two are in town so I'll probably get chucked out but I'm still in all the ones from yesterday. I'm going be raking in the pokecoins

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 23/10/2016 19:13

Hit a charmander nest today. Got enough candy to evolve Charizard and some to spare!! Post 1 of 2 of today's haul!
