Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless. Wink

Android what?

I've tried po go on all sorts of incompatible devices, when DS1's phone broke. Worst case it wouldn't install (original iPad mini). Best case, it crashed after 2 minutes and the GPS didn't work (iPod touch 6) but it stayed alive long enough to catch one of the spawns in th ehouse and keep streaks going. Had an Android phone that was less than optimal, but it just crashed when the memory was full and couldn't keep up on a bus. (took advantage for him and kept on spinning the pokestop at the bus station long after I got home, since his trainer decided not to catch the bus home with me)

i do tend to get the 3 ball bonus (level 34) but have never needed them. OTOH, I tried to catch a cyndaquil for DS1 and it used up 11 balls and all his raspberries of any hue and it still buggered off.

Why haven't I seen any legendaries IN gyms? Can you not allocate them? I don't have any so haven't been able to try it myself, but I'm surprised no-one is showing them off in gyms.

Because you can't put Legendaries in gyms. You can fight with them, but you can't put them in a gym.

0 legendaries here. The raids only seem to be happening in obscure locations around here. I did manage to get to one near me, but I was the only person there so obviously nothing happened.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 04/08/2017 08:54

Dillite2 Are there no Facebook or WhatsApp groups in your area you could join to find out when people are meeting for raids?

And if you want to keep an eye out for raids, go to gymhuntr.com and put in your location - brings up all your local gyms, whose controlling them, whether there are raids on and if so what type etc.

To answer the fast tm question that was asked a page or so back, if you have a good Dragonite, use the fast tm on that.

It will teach the Dragonite the Dragon Tail move which apparently is the most powerful.

😁 love this.

There is actually 3 people who turn up at nearly every raid with two phones at a time...means there are 6 players already.

Sometimes we take phones for people at work so we have dualled it. It's harder than it looks!

Soubriquet · 04/08/2017 13:43

What is everyone's best IV Pokemon?

Mine is my snorlax at 97%

My dragonite has the perfect moveset but is still only 87%

Hello all!

Just checking in. Still no luck here with legendary raids.

Kangastan and Unown to appear in select U.K. cities.

Oddish · 04/08/2017 17:32

Yayyyyyy my city is one of the cities! An Unown will make up for my lack of legendaries

NikiBabe · 04/08/2017 18:08

Has to be London Grin

Natsku · 04/08/2017 18:16

Saw my first legendary raid yesterday!! Unfortunately I was running late to pick DD up from daycare and I couldn't see anyone else there anyway so didn't bother trying but at least I know now that they are happening in my small town.

Cakedoesntjudge · 04/08/2017 18:40

Managed to pick up another moltres today after doing 3 raids - DP has now done 8 Moltres raids and is yet to get one 🙈 he is beginning to get a little bit stressed about it now! I do feel for him. He only got one articuno too and hasn't managed a lugia yet either. He's said if he doesn't get mewtwo when that one comes out he's giving up entirely! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him.

We were discussing who seems to be catching them today with the group at the raid. All of us said we'd noticed the people at the low level 20s were catching the legendaries much more easily than people that were high 20s/30s - not sure if it's just coincidence though!

PickAChew · 04/08/2017 19:13

I feel a day trip coming on.

PickAChew · 04/08/2017 19:14

Railcard valid until 12th august!

RudeDog · 04/08/2017 19:20

Nowhere near me - nearest are over 3 hours by train Sad

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 04/08/2017 19:22

Same RudeDog. Nowhere near me neither Sad

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 04/08/2017 19:41

I did my first raid today. I'm always a bit late to the party! A few people joined my raid but I couldn't see them. I was a bit confused but now I've done one it all makes more sense.

I'm excited about the regionals but I also feel like they should be left as regional? I'm still going to catch them though if I see any Grin

Icouldbeknitting · 04/08/2017 19:43

We had much excitement this morning as there was an Unown in town. There was one to the north yesterday too. In my dreams it moves south again tomorrow and spawns in my kitchen.

I can dream.

ojalele · 04/08/2017 19:48

Humphh... none in Belgium :-(. They picked some small cities in the Netherlands but missed out Brussels and Antwerp

eyebrowsonfleek · 04/08/2017 22:05

There was an Unown in our town too. Our town has a lucky post code which spawns at least 3 dragonite a week as well as other rates like Unown.

Can get to London and Birmingham so will be following Internet chat to see how frequently Kanghastan and Unown spawn so that I can narrow down the search area. (I know London has a map but it's too big to travel around quickly)

tumpymummy · 05/08/2017 00:49

Oooh I shall be in Manchester this w/e although not central. Here's hoping I see something good. In fact this evening I had to leave the house to visit the pokestop down the road for a Hitmantop. I've never seen one in the wild before. Got it with a special raspberry and an ultraball. Smile
