Pokemon Go #6: Where pokemon babies are abandoned in gyms at freezing temperatures

[CartwheelGirl]

Well, saw this little one left overnight in a gym. Sad, really... Where are his parents? What were they thinking? Do they work night shifts too?

So many questions...

I've hatched 5x5km eggs over the past 3 days. 3x Goldeen, a Krabby and an Eevee. Utter bobbins. Since Xmas I've only got 5km eggs. I have a feeling that this is due to me having 6x single use incubators which I was saving for 10km eggs. I'm probably going to just use them on this current crop (crap?) of eggs.

I now have 107 Geodude candies having walked the aggressive looking little fucker 102km. I will power up my Graveler a couple of times before evolving Golem. I am now walking Abra, needing 31 candies to get Alakazam, so that's potentially 93km to walk.

I've finally got my first pokemon in a gym. Happened to be a space at the one at the train station so put vaporean in. Do I need to do anything now? Kinda miss her.

Nearly got enough walking candy to evolve Ponyta

You need to go to the shop and click collect now at the top right corner. And then just wait and see how long you remain in there for.

What is happening to potions and revives? I hit approximately 30 pokestops today and only have 3 revives and 7 potions!

Thank you. Do I need to check on them to give potions or do they just come home once beaten up?
Sorry about a year behind on the gym thing!

Abbey They come home when they want their laundry doing have been knocked out, you'll have to either revive them or power them up and then heal them. Alternatively you can pack them straight off to the Professor which is what I do with the placeholder rats and caterpillars and some of the bigger stuff that I have too many of.

Actually didn't last an hour haha!

Doctor I went through a phase of getting crappy 5k eggs for weeks, then got 3 10ks in a couple of days! The ones I've hatched have actually been good ones too. So probably just one of those things. I didn't do anything special with incubators.

Dillite- I'm with you on the potions and revives, though I have been bashing the gyms a bit lately. Have to hope I stay in the 5 I'm in until tomorrow, or get lucky with the pokestops.

The number of revives in particular is way down. I've hit 20 stops today and got two. I'm not battling at the moment so I'm not too bothered. Also ultra balls are becoming more rare.

Yes, it seems like potions & revives are scarce but maybe it's just because we're using more. I used to have to lob them to make room but now I've had to wait for a week and watch 'my' gym level up before I can fix my attack team to take it back.
On the Chancey issue- in the end I just kicked its arse 3 times with my hitmonlee then battered through the Vaps. Took three attacks to prestige it up 2k then I popped a Snorlax in. That was 3pm and it's still there so hopefully the little Chancey will hold the door until I get my coins.

Pidgey thanks for the regional tip. I was caught a beast of a Tauros!!

can't Excellent! Glad it worked out for you. :)

Is this real?! Pokémon Duel? Telegraph article here

It appears so

Thought I'd spotted some exciting new Pokémon tonight, but nope - just a Nidoran giving birth to an Eevee

I have noticed some rarer ones (for this area) around recently though - Vulpixes, Omanytes (only 15 more candies to go now!), Aerodactyls. Before this week I'd only ever seen two Grimers in the wild, but since Monday I've caught another two near my house.

Have had grimer, chansey and exeggcute in sightings from our house, this week.

Just caught the 2 obligatory Weedles, of course

There are perks to being a rural pokemoner at least on sunny days there are.
Also, finally caught a Snorlax only 235 CP but I don't care.

I like your ponyta in a field! The swimming pool where DSs have their lessons has a ponyta nest so I've collected enough to evolve a rapidash for the first time. I'm beginning to brew for a lucky egg and mass evolution.

DH is off work so my usual routines have broken down. We did go in to town yesterday so I filled up my bag with balls. Between freezing grey weather and uninspiring spawns I'm not feeling particularly tempted to do much grinding.

My pokemon have been holding steady in their two gyms. It seems the cold grey weather has put people off attacking them!

Evolved my first Nidoqueen today. Pleased as I hardly see the rabbits.
Just one more Ponyta candy needed - about 2k more!

The gyms keep changing hands around here. Something strange happened today as I was training at the gym which I thought levelled it up? Then it went white and I claimed it. I thought training at your own gym gave it more points and if someone from a rival team was around not sure why they didn't claim it?

I chucked 3 Ultra balls at a Lapras, the fucker got out of all three then fucked off. I finally have enough Geodude candies to power up Graveler and evolve Golem. I have enough Dratini candy to evolve Dragonair.

Other than that nowt interesting has been seen.

Spent the past few weeks slowly accumulating credit through Google Rewards, working towards the £3.99 I needed for 450 coins. Finally, this morning, got a survey which took me just over £4. Went to the shop to buy my coins . . . and they've only gone and changed the pricing! It's now £4.99 for 550 coins. So I'm back to waiting for surveys to slowly build up my credit.

I've been getting incubators with gym coins, but I want to expand my box and bag storage again, so was saving up the money for that. Bah!

Are latecomers free to join?

Just been on PG! For 3 weeks.

I'm just level 11 but making a steady pace.

What levels are everyone at? Can you incubate multiple Pokemon at a time as long as you have enough incubators?

Level 28 here. Yes you can incubate multiple eggs at the same time - some people have 9 on the go at once! I usually just have one or two though.

I'm still trying to collect all the Gen 1 Pokemon before Gen 2 comes out but I don't rate my chances. Still need Omastar, Lickitung, Lapras and Porygon. I'm buddying an Omanyte now for the Omastar with only 9 more candies to go, but the other three I've never seen hide nor hair of.

I live semi rural so not many PokeStops!

Also it's always Pidgey's and Rattata's.

A lot of electric types near my parents house though. Went for a 4km walk a few weeks ago to get some more Magnemite, Voltorb and Seel's.

So close to completing my gen 1 dex! I just need a hitmonlee and a kabutops. The hunters on the Pokémon Go Regionals page very kindly got me an aerodactyl, tauros, farfatch'd and kangaskhan. Have now totally run out of ultra balls though so I'll have to spend a day spinning the stop outside my office.
