PokemonGo #9. A journey to hatch a 10km egg starts with a single step.

It looked like a new thread was needed, so here it is, all shiny and pristine.

Do you live by the sea, Rafa? We have a few seaside spots that are overrun with Magnemite and Voltorb.

As for the person lacking Abra, I caught 3 waiting in the bus station, this morning, then got home later to find onein my back garden.

I'm liking the triple xp in the new event.

And it looks like fire in the Northern Hemisphere and Ice down under.

Which Pokemon come under the ice category? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Accidentally just posted this same message on a very serious thread. Highly inappropriate

RafaIsTheKingOfClay you'll be glad of Magnemite candy when they bring out Gen 4, because that's when Magnezone is coming and he's a beast. We always pinap them for that very reason.

Seen lots of vulpix, growlithe and cyndaquill but no charmander which is what I really need!

Which Pokemon come under the ice category?

Cloyster, Lapras, Dewgong, Smoochum, Jynx, Swinub, Piloswine, Sneasel, and Delibird.

I've had a couple of ghastlys and I've got lots of swinub, a seel and a sneasel on my 'nearby'.

I don't understand why the hog-pig Pokémon is ice though.

And I might finally get my lapras this week. I don't care how much of a face DH pulls at me, I will be out in my car if a shadow turns up...

I didn't mean ghastly. I meant shellder. Obviously.

I do live by the sea Pick next door to a poke stop. All the other poke stops seem to get plenty of magnemite but lots of other stuff too. This one gets magnemite and Voltorb and virtually nothing else. Put a lure on it the other day. Still only got magnemite.

I'm sorted for candy, What. At least with this event I should get plenty of XP off them.

At least with this event I should get plenty of XP off them.

Why because of this event? They're not affected by it as they're not fire or ice, they're Electric/Steel.

Oh god. I've bought two inscense tonight to try and lure a black shadow (like a cat on all fours) to the house. DP is away working, DS (6) is asleep in bed. Grrrrr. It's literally at a pokestop I can see from my bedroom window. So infuriating!

ProseccoandPizza You should never use incense while you're staying in one place; it's a complete waste.

Here's why:

There’s one key trick with Incense that can make or break your experience with it: Incense spawns 1 Pokemon every 5 minutes while you’re standing still, but Pokemon will spawn every 1 minute or 200 meters when you’re moving.

This means that, yes, popping incense while you’re at home or at work not up to much actually isn’t very helpful – you’ll get at a minimum of a single Pokemon for every 5 minutes – 6 total while the incense is active – but that’s it. If you’ve got a decent pace walking while using incense however you can catch far more and also catch a wider variety as you move through areas with different Pokemon available.

From here: www.vg247.com/2016/08/02/pokemon-go-using-incense-to-catch-more-pokemon-the-right-way/amp/

So you should always use it while on a pokewalk or it's just not worth it.

As my DH isn't able to look after DD at the weekend, I need suggestions on where is good for Pokehunting in the London and outer London areas with a still crawling baby.

Thanks but I wasn't expecting to get loads just trying to lure this bloody shadow. It's bothering me for the first time ever I can't send DP out to get it!

Sounds like a Quilava.

Oh you were using it to lure a shadow? No, the incense wouldn't affect the shadow.

The incense spawns Pokemon independently, whereas the Pokemon you saw is already at the pokestop, so the incense can't "lure" it, if you know what I mean?

It was originally at pokestop then in wild sightings changing rankings as such.

Not Quilavar as far as I know!

It's a houndor

Yes, it's a Houndoor, ProseccoandPizza, but like I said, incense won't lure it because that's not how incense works.

I didn't know that and was just taking desperate measures I guess.

Ooh I didn't get that one surprisingly considering I've already got a Houndoom.

Thank you for the Insense explanation though!

I'm only after Cyndaquils

ProseccoandPizza No worries I just thought it'd be better for you (and anyone else reading) to know so you don't waste any future ones as they're quite precious!

Which side of London, @Kpo58?

I like Crystal Palace Park or the Horniman with mine - things to do for the DC and I caught my Dragonite in the Horniman gardens. They're both nests too but I'm not sure what of at the moment, the London pogo group on FB has more info. If not the south side of London, j would suggest having a look at the pogo FB group as they've got all the nest info for various areas.

The throw bonus applies to all Pokémon thought doesn't it. I seem to be getting it with the magnemites.

TBH after the first eleventy billion I started ignoring half of them and don't really bother playing at home. With the extra XP it might make them worth bothering with.

Well, there's your problem, Rafa :o

We pop over to Seaham, Seaburn (less of a pop) or Hartlepool Headland if we fancy some electric pokies!

And yes, I only need cyndaquil, but am open to evolving better arcanine and much better houndoom.

I like my arcanine for popping into gyms I don't particularly care about, though that's about to change, anyhow, so will be interesting to see what they do.
