Pokemon Go #10. See ya later Feralligator, in a while Totodile

[DoctorTwo]

Despite only really playing at the weekend due to working I'm now 180k through Level 31. Today I cheated somewhat. The M25 was stationary, so I opened the app and left it on. I had 8 eggs cooking and between junctions 18 and 22 managed to hatch 7 of them. Mantine, 2x Exegcute, Krabby, Eevee, Togepi and Magby.

Congrats Abbey on reaching Level 30, and commiserations Spammy on not being able to log in.

I caught a Pikachavette! Also did 2 raids and won both. Aaaaaaaand! I have enough candy to get a blissey!

We've had lots of problems with gyms today. We've been winning them but then it won't let us put more than one Pokémon in as it tells the other player that there is a battle on when there is not. Very frustrating. I think I've caught more pikachus today than the whole time we've been playing! Got a drowsee from an egg though, snore.

That's not new; that's been happening since raids have been active.

DH and I have to make sure we both click our Pokemon and are on the "are you sure" screen together before we put in, otherwise we have to wait.

No more pikashes for me today, so pleased I persuaded dd to do a pyjama raid last night. Desperate for another one so I can have a Raichu.

Show us your Blissys Dillite

I have just worked out that when you guys talk about wonders and caught my attention that it's the blue teams evaluation.

Yes, I'm afraid I don't know the red or yellow teams appraisals. Whatever they are, you want either of the top two to even think about powering up

Yellows appraisals are 'room for improvement' (worst), 'Pokemon is decent' (average), 'Pokemon is strong' (good) and 'your Pokemon can battle with the best of them!' (Best)

DD left her pikachu like this. It cracks me up every time I look at it.

So, I left my Rhydon having some fun.

Ta daaaaaa! Here's my Blissey

bimble that looks like a scene from Outlander

Ooooof that's a nice Blissey 😎

Luffly blissey

ariados and lanturn are only pokedex fillers.

Don't underestimate Lanturn. They're one of my favourite gym botherers.

Lanturn can actually be used for stuff? Who knew!

The only worthwhile psychics are exeggutor. They are awesome and my best is one of my regular gym defenders, but I'll happily attack with him, too.

I got stuck on a solo mission with a wheezing, earlier, too. i paid my raid pass and found myself on my own - DS1 had latched onto an existing group with seconds to spare and I just missed it. I tried once and itmed out with just a bit of red bar. Tried again, with different pokemon (ie took more notice of its suggestion) and only got 2/3 of the way, so gave up and ate my lunch. A young woman came aong and started doing the telltale tapping of the bottom of her phone screen, so I hopped back in again. My double dark gyarados did the most damage, again - it's good enough for type not to matter so much and I can't put it in gyms, anymore, so it might as well earn its keep. She thanked me, before she left :) We'd done each other a favour.

Had more trouble with not being able to get into gyms because it thinks it's still under attack. Have found the knack is to walk out of range, restart the game then walk back into range, then it finally lets me in.

They hurt hard, Dillite. Try out Seadra, too.

My favourite gym bunnies, aside from my blissey, under the new system.

Awesome arcanine ha been gone since Wednesday, now and just a walk in opportunity for a rival team.

I've noticed a change, this week. 90% yellow and blue with only occasional red. It's been odd being on the dominant team.

The gyms round here are starting to change colour regularly too, refreshing! I've stocked up on potions so I can take gyms down just cos I feelz like it.

I can see the 10 tier blissey tower owner interests are waning and so many other players piling in.

Lovely Blissey by the way Dillite.

Can someone explain the Stats for the gym badges. I've got some silver badges but no gold ones. I guess they are for mega players.

Does it show how many treats you've used on all the gym rather than just those on your own 'mon
One gym says my 'mon has fought 78 battles?? That sounds too many ? Or is it the total number of battles I've fought in that gym - which sounds more plausible. (Sorry to be lazy and not look it up myself).

I'm still not getting my Pokémon to return to me. I've some stuck up at the top p of mountains and at the ends of long hikes - they have been there ages. They must be lonely and hungry 😞

BTW. That's a lovely Blissey.

I've enough candies for one but nothing worth powering up.

My Blissey cost me my only Chancey, I do have another one that we caught in the wild but it is rubbish and only 200cp. A year of gaming and only 2 chanceys! I do look forward to sticking my Blissey into a gym though.

Dillite. That's bought a tear to my eye 😁. I've seen four chanceys and whilst I'm really really really really impatient and frustrating I know that one day when I finally get my blissey it will all be worth it. This is the type of deep joy that I'm glad the spoofers and cheaters miss out on. 💕💕💕

I'm going to be pretty stoked when I finally get a shiney gyrados - it's going to happen one day right ????? I've caught well over a 1000 magicarps so far so statistically speaking if I catch another 3000 (😭) I feel I should get one 🤞🏻

Ps I do know stats don't work like that but I live in hope.

Sorry for typos. It was the tears in my eyes thinking about Dillites blissey 👁👁💦
