Pokémon Go #8: Don't mess with my Hoothoot

[PickAChew]

T'other thread was getting full and there's shinies and stuff!

Finally, I have my very own Snorlax, also from a 10k egg! Not as powerful as some of those above, but who cares.

Look what mighty beast i just caught out on an evening walk.

Wow, he's lovely! Shame about the CP though!

Yeah, it could hardly be any lower. Still really chuffed though, first new one since skarmory at Easter.

My PoGo plus is refusing to connect on Bluetooth. Sometimes it connects straight away, and other times it just doesn't show up on my phone at all. Annoying.

Bluetooth is just too bloody flaky, Somewhat. I often have to give everything a good nudge to get my fitbit to connect to my phone and I gave up on my old phone for over a month, until Nougat became available and finally fixed it.

In the olden days, you'd have a problem on your pc, spend a day googling, formatting, googling and installing various drivers, or even just patching, and eventually fix a problem. With phones, it's wipe or nothing. No fixing a broken install of something linked to the OS without affecting anything else.

But the first thing to do with something not connecting to bluetooth is to turn bluetooth off and on again!

I'm doing A LOT of off and on again, Bluetooth, PoGo, the phone itself...

It's not too bad with other Bluetooth gadgets. My sports watch tends to connect well. It seems to be personal with the PoGo plus!

Wow ig, she's lovely. Yes, her CP could be higher, but still a great wild catch. Am slightly jealous.

I got a special item yesterday and it wasn't my 7th day. That's today so hopefully I get another. Now have a politoed.

I keep getting a red message flashing up when I first start it up saying they know I've been cheating and that I must stop. Am a bit worried because the message keeps flashing up!

I've evolved phanpy this week which is as exciting as it gets. Dull vermin everywhere...

I also think there is vermin everywhere- where's all the shadows?

I also got a special item and it wasn't a 7 day streak (not the one I am desperate for obviously)

My last 3 10k eggs have been a dratini !

I also got a special item yesterday, not on a streak! I only need a metal coat now, have a few of the others but need more candy to evolve. Just need that scizor, then got all the specials.

possum, does that message full you with guilt and/or shame? I would feel so naughty! 😆

I hatched my last 10k egg from the event and it was a Chansey which I am very pleased with. Up to 201 on the 'dex now.

I got another sun stone for my 7 day streak today, I now have 3 of those, 2 dragon scales, 2 metal coats and 3 up-grades. Guess what I actually have enough candy to evolve? Slowking - just need a kings rock!

I haven't seen a shadow for so long, I miss shadows.

I had a shadow a couple of days ago - got crazy excited and was convinced it was one of the legendary birds. It was a Skarmory. Which I'm still pretty pleased with as they're supposed to be pretty effective against those bastard Blissey's. Anyone tried them out?

Has anyone noticed there are more evolved Pokemon about?

This week I've caught two Crobats, a Gengar and a Persian.

No shadows at all though. Haven't seen one in at least two weeks.

I saw a shadow at the start of the week, but the pokestop was over half a mile away by the time you cross a river. It wasn't going to happen on that occasion!

For some reason, Crobats seem to be easier to catch than Golbats.

Caught a CP 400 Ursaring, earlier. Definitely used a pinapberry with that one, then sent it straight to the mincer!

Skarmory are bloody everywhere here. I've caught 20 of them and just ignore them now.

I've caught a few Skarmory too - not quite as common as Sudowoodos and Mantines around here, but probably the same as Gligar.

I don't mind catching them - we only have a bronze steel badge.

I have seen a few shuckle shadows, but they are always just out of reach. Still need a miltank, not sure what other ones I need from Gen 2 that I can't get by buddying. There must be more than just 2.

Our local park had Shuckles a few weeks ago..I have about 3 and 37 Candy..

I have enough for my Steelix now, Cynaquil now my buddy but I only have 13 candy so lots of walking
