Pokemon Go #4. I'm a Pokemon trainer - get Meowth of here!

[DoctorTwo]

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.

Joining here for the first time - Level 24 now and only 97 caught on Pokedex.

I've had tons of 10km eggs before but never got anymore since level 10. Even from Pokestops near work (City of London) where I used to get 10km eggs from :( Anyone has similar problem?

I attempted to power up a gym from 7 to 8 but it needed 10000xp and each battle only got me 600ish Xp so it would have taken forever (and lots of revives and potions) so I gave up after 3 battles. Plus it was cold and I had to park and walk to it as it's a monument at the side of a roundabout and my hands were freezing. Have come home for a cup of tea to defrost them 😭

Welcome hyperspace!

I was the opposite to you, had not a single 10km egg until level 19 and only get maybe once every 2-4 weeks.

Not sure if there is any reason behind it and I can't seem to see any good theories for it either.

I'm hoping I get a lapras in my current one. About 4km left on it

I got a Jynx in yesterday's 10k 😒😒 I do have 3 Lapras' though, 2 from eggs 1 caught wild.

Finally....

Not too concerned with the CP, I'm more about collecting the Pokemon than battling with them.
I do battle if I can, though, and managed to get one of mine into a gym as there was a spare space.

Ds is much better so finally hatched my 5k egg I have been on for 3 days and it was a psyduck..then hatched a 2 k a zubat !!!

Did catch 3 manchops,
a geodude and a Ryhorn today...All things I need to evolve.

Duly noted, eating!

Was surprised to see no reports of any bests at exhibition park. Took a walk around, today and nope, nothing. There were a couple of horseas across the road at brandling park, which may or may not have replaced the exeggcutes that were though to reside there, previously.

There's reports of kabuto at the park in Belmont, in Durham. Nay gave to investigate that. There was also a vulpix around both times we passed Wharton park.

I think I may be making a trip to South Shields in the next week. LOL!

If anyone is still after Pikachu, I caught four by the roundabout before Greenwich Park, coming from Sun in the Sands direction. And that was just as a car passenger (very grateful for heavy traffic although DH was not)

That was yesterday, by the way.

Yep, the charmander nest at cleadon park is the most interesting out of that lot!

Lucky egged myself into level 29, last night.

Still have no lapras, snorlax, chansey, porygon

Need a lot more of bulbasaurs, charmander, omanyte, kabuto, dratini.

I'm desperate for a 10k egg, can't remember when I last had one. I'm off to a city tomorrow for the dentist so I've been powering through all my 5k eggs with bought incubators to empty my eggs out - think there's one left that's incubating now, so will not hit any more pokestops until I get to the city and hope that the different pokestops there might give me some.

Anyone looking for Pikachu’s? It is heaving with them round here at the moment (Random golf course on the east coast of Scotland). In fact I have found that the number and variety of Pokemons has really increased a lot since the last update. I want my Bulbasaur nest back! I only need four more to evolve my Ivysaur.

I'm also annoyed at my lack of 10k eggs especially as it's the only way I will get lapras and hitmonchan. I've pondered with powering through my eggs but I always regret it as they are so crap.
Have two uses left on an incubator and will probably be able to buy another one tomorrow.
Do I or don't I try to hatch 3 at a time in the hope of getting 10ks?

I was over the moon to get a hitmonchan outside a gym the other day. Hadn't caught anything new in ages and I've never even seen a shadow of a hitmonchan before.

As for 10ks I went through a long period without any 10ks to the point I thought they were a myth. Then had 2 straight after each other out of the blue which was nice. They are few and far between now. My last one being a bloody Jynx though I really need an Aerodactyl!

Damnit it was actually a hitmonlee I was talking about...but still thrilled!

I've had a few 10ks and the last 3 were eeves just before they changed to 5k. I'm not even joking.

I wouldn't mind so much the 5k as I'm also missing tangela and chancey but all I seem to hatch is poliwag and some other normal rubbish.

I'm sure my Chansey came out of a 10k egg?

Whenever I get 10k eggs it's quite soon after I buy incubators. I dont buy them very often so it's easy for me to tell. DOnt know if that's just coincidence. But like nutella most of my 10k eggs have been eevees. 1 decent Magmar and a scyther that I needed.

I just counted. I have 66 dead pokemon. And only 3 items in my bag out of 350.

Look at all my candies!! Had a great wee trip round Strathclyde park and caught maybe about 35/40 of them. Running short of balls now though

Good news - made it to level 21 today.
Bad news - 75k to level 22?!

Donated a gym to a wee boy tonight. I brought down a gym then realised he was powering it up with his dad so left it empty. He'd never got in a gym before so had to choose! Might knock him out later 🙈

Amazing weeken on the south coast. I can't even list everything I've got but have doubled my dratini and Omanyte count and clocked up a good 100k XP in two days, plus a further 100 from a lucky egg session!

Wow Jelly and Demented, lucky, lucky you! Dd managed to take over 2 gyms today- both got taken back within minutes though. I swear there are people hiding up in the trees or something, because all gyms get taken back by the red team as soon as another colour manages to take them.
