have been all over the area recently - not one!

That may be the issue then; you get the same Pokemon in the same area with only rare shows of new ones (I'm in a water area so very rarely get fire or grass Pokemon). It's not an issue with the game.

On the negative my 10km egg was a Lavitar

Why is that a negative? You always need more Tyrannitar candy as they're one of the best in gyms!

WhiteHorseWilliam · 06/05/2017 19:46

Although I never evolve into a (rare) second form if there is a third without having enough to evolve all three, because by the time you get to be able to evolve a third time, you probably have a much better Pokemon in terms of IVs and stats than the one you initially evolved, if that makes sense?

That makes perfect sense, but I am usually too excited about the new 'mon to wait. I am in awe of people who save their evolves for a double xp event as well. However, I have managed to hold back on evolving my Larvitar to Pupitar as I haven't got a great one.

Loving the event! Evolved Sunflora and Exxecutor (sp?) today, from having virtually no candy yesterday. DD has too, she also got her first Jumpluff.

Caught at least 6 Bulbasaurs, and three or four Chikoritas. Keep running out of Pinap berries though, so their evolves are still a way away.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/05/2017 19:51

WhiteHorseWilliam Yes I understand that! It's always nice to get a new pokedex entry filled Smile

I don't wait for xp events to evolve, but I do save up my evolves and use a lucky egg. So far the most I've got doing that in one sitting is 46,000.

I keep running out of pinaps too! Managed to get enough for my venosaur (as I'd already walked 174km with it!), but I doubt I'll get enough for a Meglanum which makes me so sad Sad

WhiteHorseWilliam · 06/05/2017 19:57

Rudedog DH has become accustomed today to me muttering 'Bulbasaur' and disappearing. I've stopped worrying about looking bonkers.

Hatched 2 10k eggs -Dratini (Yay! powered Dragonite up) and Skarmory (Boo! Already got two).

RudeDog · 06/05/2017 20:02

Fail - 3 good Pokemon nearby and I thought I would go out after my cup of tea
Disappeared - I won't procrastinate again!

Starlight2345 · 06/05/2017 21:42

I have had a reasonable day.. Put Love thing on while DS did Tae kwon do ( its at a poke stop) it lasted an hour.

Caught a few bulbasaur
an execute and a few Chickorita.

Also got special item to evolve porygon.

HandbagCrab · 06/05/2017 23:00

The grass event is working here and we had a good day! Evolved sunflora, exeggcutor and kingdra and caught a porygon which were all new to me. I also have enough oddish for vileplume but I'm going to wait until I have enough to evolve another oddish into gloom first as my gloom is bobbins. Another phanpy from an egg, I've a herd of them!

I need another eleven bulbasaurs for venusaur so I'm hoping to see more of those tomorrow.

tumpymummy · 07/05/2017 01:01

I live in a city and from what I've read on local social media the event is very location specific this time. It seems really good in some park areas, but a bit of a disappointment in the centre of town where there is normally lots of good stuff. And not in all parks either. There's a big park near me which is often good for Pokemon and sometimes has decent nests, but apparently there is nothing much there this event. I haven't had a chance to play much today so am planning to go further afield tomorrow.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 07/05/2017 06:33

I've read it's broken in many areas too especially cities so that's what happening here I guess. Ah well.

onemouseplace · 07/05/2017 10:26

It was great yesterday for me, but I'm currently sat in the hairdressers next to a common, and it's all sentrets and natus.

LBOCS2 · 07/05/2017 12:03

We've had bugger all around here. Seriously, nothing exciting. I was hoping to catch enough eggsecute for an exxecutor but I've seen none.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 07/05/2017 13:21

I went for a long walk along the river and there were heaps of exxecute there. It seems to be very area specific. Now back home to my pidgey!

GalenJustGalen · 07/05/2017 13:53

I think all Shuckles are low CP. I caught a 121 CP and it's almost maxed out.

Shuckles are more useless than magikarp.

I want a Shuckle just because it's cute Grin But still haven't seen one Sad

spiderlight · 07/05/2017 15:40

Well, I sat in a very grassy park all morning and caught.....one Snubbull. Literally nothing else spawned. This event has been rubbish around here. I did get two eggxecutes yesterday but they weren't anywhere grassy, so go figure!

PickAChew · 07/05/2017 16:10

We walked around the MetroCentre and caught loads!

OP posts:
WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/05/2017 17:11

spiderlight In the places that the event is working, grass Pokemon are increased everywhere, regardless of whether the area is grassy or not.

I'm in a water area and there's grass Pokemon everywhere here.

PickAChew · 07/05/2017 18:25

Well, some sunkern have stopped off at an appropriate watering hole.

I caught a wild exxecutor ! When does the event finish?

PickAChew · 07/05/2017 18:50

Tomorrow evening, I think.

Bimblesalong · 07/05/2017 19:25

Back out shortly to carry on picking up the egg thingies! Hatched a porygon earlier, which was lovely. Better than the 5k egg natu yesterday ...

Starlight2345 · 07/05/2017 19:39

I did a lucky egg this afternoon.
Evolved Porygon and Steelix.

Now level 31.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 07/05/2017 19:51

PickAChew Perfect picture Grin

AtSea1979 · 07/05/2017 22:17

What's with the sudden influx of Sunkerns?
Hatched an elephant thingy today.
