Hello you lovely lot. Nowt new today, but at least I caught a couple of Squirtles and have enough candy to get Wartortle, so that's 4 to add to my Pokedex when I do a Lucky Egg mass evolve.

nutella I have been trying to save the pokemon that I need for thanksgiving, so that hopefully when I transfer I'll get double candie. But that's only a guess that they'll do that again. Of course it does mean I'm running out of storage, so think I am going to have to do an evolve session soon. I too wondered about buying more pokemon storage (currently have 350) but wondered if that will be a waste of coins in the long run.
To be honest I am glad everything has died down for a bit, it means I can get on with the rest of my life and actually do some work!

Next time I go to Glasgow, I'll check for updates with you first longtimelurker I haven't seen a Bulbasaur up here in Argyll for weeks. I'm 14 candies short of evolving an Ivysaur (not even thinking of a Venusaur). Also, I think Charmanders have gone extinct here, I havn't even had one on my radar for many weeks.

nuttelladreams · 17/11/2016 10:21

I've decided to buy more storage and level it up to 450. I think in the long run I will need it as I start collecting more stuff I want to keep.

Collected 60 counts today. Have been consistently getting at least 50 so becoming slightly less precious of what I spend them on.

These new nests are shite. Who needs wheedle???) FFS.

JellyWitch · 17/11/2016 10:40

I suppose weedles are good for crunching and levelling but they hardly get me travelling someone especially.

I have 450 Pokemon storage now and am thinking of increasing it again this weekend. I have a stash of 5 lucky eggs and the only other thing I would buy is incubators - but storage has long term use. I am definitely saving more as I try to gather varies movesets at different levels. If only the game allowed me to sort them into different folders or, even better, to select multiple ones for battle at once and save the set up so that I didn't have to keep scrolling to select each one for each round.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 17/11/2016 10:42

igneococus also Argyll.... Small world! There's a lot of updates on pokemon go Glasgow Facebook!

nuttelladreams · 17/11/2016 12:03

Jelly I'm the same. Have 3 eggs and will get more when I finish this level. Have one incubator with 2 uses left and waiting for the event or a 10k egg.
The plan is

  • Pokemon storage up to 450
  • one more incubator
  • more Pokemon storage or item (on 400) depending if they drop extra during events etc

Strathclyde park was exeggcute yesterday, has it changed to bulbasaur? Ds will be pleased if it has!

Natsku · 17/11/2016 13:01

Ooo Lowestoft Doctor that's where I spent my teenage years. Horrid place.

I did the incense trick while we went for a drive through the forest last night, didn't get anything new though.'

And coughed up for pokecoins and bought a shit ton of incubators so I clear all my 5k eggs in the desperate hope I'll get a 10k egg. I've been getting only 5ks for weeks now.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 17/11/2016 13:17

demented nest migration overnight, apparently it's Bulbasaur

I saw a tauros in a gym last night. It's ruined my "prefect" 142/142 pokedex 😔 and it was hidden in the middle of a gym so I couldn't know and avoid.

dementedpixie · 17/11/2016 14:46

It is definitely bulb as bulbasaur as I popped along to check and caught a few! The wee buggers kept jumping out the balls though so used up quite a few. Now have enough candies to evolve it which is great. Caught some for ds too although 3 of his ran away...wee green bastards!

FrogTime · 17/11/2016 16:02

Went out for a little jaunt this afternoon, out of blue caught a hitmonlee (I think ive got that right, the one with eyes but no head!) that I've never seen before. I'm on 120 caught now.

Bet that's what I'll get in my 10km egg now. 7.5km to go to find out! please be lapras, please be lapras, please be lapras!!!

MuddlingMackem · 17/11/2016 16:11

Ah, nest migration explains why there were no Onix in Sunderland's Mowbray Park when I called there today. Sad

On the plus side I finally did my lucky egg evolving session this afternoon and added 12 new ones to my pokedex, including the Alakazam I worked so hard for. Grin I did some double evolves of Pidgies and Weedles and got better CP Pigeots and Beedrills than I had before so they're worth keeping. And by the time I finished that it was time to successfully cash in on two of the three gyms I put myself into this morning. :)

Oh, and about the poofing, definitely seems to be happening with somewhere between a quarter and a fifth of all that I try to catch. I don't get too narked if I've only chucked a couple of balls at them, but when I've hoyed half a dozen Ultra Balls and then it buggers off I get more than a little annoyed. Grr!

YesThisIsMe · 17/11/2016 16:33

But at least you now get a smidge of experience when they run away so it's not a total loss.

Germgirl · 17/11/2016 17:21

I caught a Pikachu on Blackheath earlier and saw two more. There's definitely a nest there now!

DoctorTwo · 17/11/2016 18:11

3 of the first 4 I chucked balls at ran off today. 75XP does not make up for the loss of about 12 Pokeballs. A 5km egg hatched as a fucking Eevee. Angry At least it had the common decency to bring 20 candies with it.

If there is a Thanksgiving event I should be about 75k XP out of 125k through level 23, so a lucky egg evolve session should take me through to 24. At least I have that to look forward to... :o

PickAChew · 17/11/2016 18:25

Any inkling of what is in mowbray park, now, mackem or is it so humdrum that you didn't notice?

I'm curious about roker park, too. No direct bus to that one for us, but I'm annoyed that I didn't find out that it was an execute nest until after we went out at the weekend. Silph road reports seem to be somewhat lacking for the northeast. We were considering venturing up the great north road for this Saturday's expedition.

PickAChew · 17/11/2016 18:32

OK, that one answered. Tentacool in mowbray park, apparently.

Starlight2345 · 17/11/2016 18:35

Have a poorly child today so put him car in pj's to get pokestop and catch anything.. Nothing has come to our house at all today which is odd.

MuddlingMackem · 17/11/2016 18:59

PickAChew Yes, Mowbray seems to be Tentacools. Not sure about Roker Park now, but bummed I couldn't get there during Eggsecute's tenure. A local PG Facebook group is saying that Barnes Park is now Weedles. Hmm And Herrington Country Park is (Male) Nidorans. If anyone reports on Roker I'll let you know.

Shellder · 17/11/2016 20:44

I've had an interesting adventure in London:

Four 10k eggs gained which hatched x2 Snorlax, x1 Aerodactyl, x1 Onix.

Six 2k eggs gained which hatched x2 Weedle, x3 Spearow and thankfully a Pikachu.

Loads of 5k eggs which hatched nothing unusual. I got Ponyta, Psyduck, Gastly, Slowpoke etc.

I'm kicking myself for not walking to the Bulbasaurs at the Imperial War Museum. I went Dratini hunting on Southbank with the grand result of one running away. Southbank was spawning Slowpokes, Psyducks and Staryu. I spent an hour at the London Eye in the hope of a Lapras appearing but no such luck, good fun battling for the gym though, it was constantly changing colour.

Loads of pokemon running away, many more than before.

The top half of the RHS Wisley garden is a Charmander spawn, I caught 8 in less than an hour. They were constantly on the nearby list.

I caught a Lickitung when prestiging a gym in Woking.

All in all a good time pokemon hunting with three new ones for the pokedex Smile Pokestops offered more 10k eggs than I've seen before but few pokeballs.

JellyWitch · 17/11/2016 20:58

I have just left my top Vaporeon in a gym. It has been changing hands a couple of times a week so leaving my best attacker in there means it will hold for longer i reckon!

CantstandmLMs · 17/11/2016 22:08

I saw a Tauros in a gym today too EnvyAngry

PickAChew · 17/11/2016 22:29

Well, Saltwell Park is Sandshrew, so we may go back there, at some point.

Wonder what's at Lumley Castle, now....

MuddlingMackem · 17/11/2016 23:41

Ooh, PickAChew, I think Saltwell was Vulpix when we went there for Snowdogs. Not sure I'll get there again any time soon though, unfortunately, as I've only managed to get a total of one Sandshrew so far.

nuttelladreams · 18/11/2016 07:18

I saw a kangaskstan (sp?) which is also very annoying!

I stopped walking my eggxecute at 47 candies as I'd discovered a little spawn point so I went there last night to pick up my last one and realised it's all changed. So now I have to go back to buddy it and get my last 3 candies. Sigh.
