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.

Thanks for the info re the double event.

Have they stopped giving xp when you spin a pokestop but your bag is full? It seems that way to me so very annoying!!

piknmixer · 21/11/2016 18:30

I'm struggling to get too excited about double XP/stardust as I don't tend to battle in gyms - so I don't really power up - and I'm not that bothered about levelling up and making the game even harder for myself Grin

I did catch a big Ponyta today, an Abra and a decent Vulpix. And the spawn opposite my house now has a bit more variety than just pidgeys, rats and Mr Mime!

Hoping for a Snorlax this week, he's been popping up on my nearby at work.

I'm nearly half way through level 25, caught 110 still never even seen a Pikachu!

MuddlingMackem · 21/11/2016 18:46

IhatchedaSnorlax no, I'm sure I've still been getting 50XP when my bag is full. It's when the bus is going too fast that I get nothing.

piknmixer Apparently Snorlax has been spotted at the local transport interchange, but never on the occasions I've been there. Sad

Delurking to say DO NOT POWER UP YOUR POKÉMON AT THE MOMENT.

It seems Niantix have re-jigged CP levels and whilst some people are finding some Pokémon go up a lot more than usual with a power up, some people have lost CP when powering up!

Reddit link

So personally I'm going to wait until the nice people at the Silph Road work out what is safe to power up.

JellyWitch · 21/11/2016 19:21

I was just coming here to say the same thing!

Watching and waiting at the moment to see how the changes work out.

MessezFaire · 21/11/2016 19:25

Though I swear whilst I was powering up a few of the known safe ones they all just adjusted a bit

nuttelladreams · 21/11/2016 19:29

Interesting re cp.

I've got 85 to evolve and am planning a lucky egg on Sunday to try and do it with the 7 day bonus. That with double XP could well end up being the best session ever- maybe even close to 200k!
I'm 120k into level 29 (350 needed) so this might help.

Gave in and decided to cook 3 eggs at once. Hatched the first 5k - magnemite - and it was replaced by a 2k Angry. So much for my cunning plan.

MessezFaire · 21/11/2016 19:30

Yeah they've confirmed a forced recalculation is happening, so they'll all just change for you anyway.

JellyWitch · 21/11/2016 19:35

It's all happened automatically.

Why did I waste all that stardust on my eggsecutor? And what about the Pokemon out in gyms?!

nuttelladreams · 21/11/2016 19:45

Oh my. My boys have all changed.

MessezFaire · 21/11/2016 19:46

So my arcanine is in a gym I can currently 'see'. Says ~1700cp in my pokedex but still ~1800 in the gym.

DeathMetalMum · 21/11/2016 19:47

Wow. Can't believe they have altered cp by so much?! I was just getting together a good group of pokemon for presteiging gyms as they all have good moves but low cp but that's now completely messed up.

My Rhyhorn's have gained almost 500 cp!!

SailingThroughTime · 21/11/2016 19:49

Oh ffs mine are all over the bloody place nowAngry

MuddlingMackem · 21/11/2016 19:53

Just screen grabbed my top dozen before restarting the app, blimey, some major changes. Especially my Alakazam! Need to rethink what I put in gyms now. Only thing which hasn't changed is that my Lapras is still my highest CP.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 21/11/2016 20:01

Mine habe jumped hugely. Lots of strong Rhydon now and my gyrados has gained 500cp! Huge jumps on Jynx, jolteon, Alakazam and Omanastar too! And my growlithe has dropped. And Kingler is huge! Huge jump in chansey too! 818 now!

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 21/11/2016 20:02

Big aerodactyl jump too!

BumWad · 21/11/2016 20:06

Will catch up with thread properly.

Something random has just happened. My Gyarados which is in a gym had a CP of around 1926, I've just looked at my Pokemon and the CP has gone up to 2344! Shock

Does anybody know why?!

BumWad · 21/11/2016 20:06

Ok that teaches me to read the thread sorry guys!

MuddlingMackem · 21/11/2016 20:06

I'm really glad now that I didn't have the stardust to power anything up as I would have powered up totally the wrong ones! Shock

BumWad · 21/11/2016 20:10

I was well chuffed when I just caught a 1250 CP Mr.Mime!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 21/11/2016 20:11

My Gyarados just went up to 2445!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PickAChew · 21/11/2016 20:12

Mine have changed automatically. Cp22 gengar is now cp32 and no longer cute enough to warrant it's place in my bag.

Look at that top 12, though! Both gengar and kingler have gained loads.

JellyWitch · 21/11/2016 20:14

I've got to rethink my whole prestiging team now - although I guess I need to see how gyms shake down.

My gyrados is over 2700!!! Crazy.

SoupDragon · 21/11/2016 20:27

Why would they mess about with this?

Natsku · 21/11/2016 20:31

Oh just noticed the changes, will be nice to battle with different ones for a change so quite like this.
