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

They do however seem to be around where I work so might catch more in the week or are they only spawning at weekends?

Unown and Kangaskhan are about everyday through the 21st August.

On the weekends of the 12th and 19th, they're activating lure stops in those cities too.

I went to 2 Leg End ary raids today, Lugia and Moltres. Both times I was the only person there so didn't bother. I took down another gym (only Nidoking and Blastoise) and stuck a Rhydon in.

There was a blue gym with spare slots so I stuck a 'Mon in and fed the rest a few berries. Normally the gyms here are yellow, so I am expecting both of them home later.

And yes, I did mean Leg End ary, it wasn't a weird autocorrect, just a strange mind.

I only go to raids that have been prearranged meet ups on the Facebook group. Today in the city centre though apparently there are masses of people playing Pokémon but it is one of the named cities with unknowns in

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 05/08/2017 18:24

Evolved this fella today, very happy!

Booked tickets to London for next week.

They do spell Europe - these are mine :)

Namechanged because I posted them on fb (without the first custom named one!)

Damn lovely Feraligatr! I am so envious- never had a Totodile so not even close to evolving Sad

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 05/08/2017 20:29

cotton, we chanced on a nest today and gave them the double candy fruit, twas marvellous!

Look at all those Unowns, look at them!

So jealous it's just city's, hope I get some next week, be gutted otherwise.

Why not just do loads of Crocanaw raids? They can be easily solo'd.

Natsku · 05/08/2017 21:02

No one was doing the Lugia raid, I had a bash at it anyway as I wasn't planning on doing any other raids that day so thought I might as well use my daily pass but gave up pretty quickly when I saw that I wasn't taking down its health at all!

Would have to go all the way to Helsinki for a chance to catch Kangaskhan or some Unowns so that's not going to happen. Was hoping Tampere would be on the list as I'm going there on the 21st (have to be a witness in court!) but no such luck.

Lugia is the hardest to take down; you need 12 - 14 to be comfortable at defeating it.

wartortle · 05/08/2017 21:16

If you can get to one of the cities it's fairly easy to get them all, though for us P and U were much rarer than the others, especially P (in Manchester) and others we met said the same (lots had EURO only). It was a train ride away and we got 4 kangas too though after the first we stopped hunting those and only caught what we came across.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/08/2017 21:18

wartortle We are planning to go to Manchester; are they just in the centre? Do you know if you can find them at the Trafford Centre too?

("They" being both Kangaskhan and Unown.)

eyebrowsonfleek · 05/08/2017 21:21

I don't know about Manchester but in the case of London, the spawns reach as far north as Watford and they've defined London as the area within the M25. If it's the same for other cities, then you may just need to be in the outskirts rather than central.

ProseccoandPizza · 05/08/2017 21:36

Randomly went to Cardiff today and at first pokestop in the bay we caught a Kanghaskhan and Unown!

wartortle · 05/08/2017 21:42

What to do Yes they're in the outskirts too! A friend was at eventcity and caught a couple so I imagine they'll be at the Trafford centre too.

More central the Arndale/Picadilly Gardens area was really good, plus the stops round there were all lured almost constantly.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/08/2017 21:47

wartortle Ooh thanks! Is it easy to get a bus from the Armadale centre area to the Trafford centre? And if so, how long is the bus?

I want to shop at both the Arndale and the Trafford so want to see if it's possible Grin

The pokestops being lured is only at the weekends Sad

eyebrowsonfleek Thanks!

FuckOffDavid · 05/08/2017 21:54

I'm just missing the R now. There were loads of moltres and Lugia raids in Glasgow today. I only managed to catch 1 moltres out of 4 but caught 3 Lugia out of 4.

This is excellent news, I have to go to Birmingham next weekend anyway!

Why am I not in a city

wartortle · 06/08/2017 10:14

Whattodo I'd recommend walking to picadilly gardens from arndale where you can get the X50, they're every 10/15 minutes most of the day and it takes about 40 mins to the Trafford Centre I think. It's a longish journey but if you want something from the TC specifically it's easily doable.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/08/2017 11:07

wartortle Brilliant, thank you! Smile

64PooLane · 06/08/2017 13:14

Spontaneous trip to Glasgow with DS on a train. Wish us luck ...

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/08/2017 13:17

Good luck 64PooLane! A family member got a Kangaskhan in Glasgow yesterday so they're definitely about Grin

wartortle · 06/08/2017 14:00

I presumed you're not driving whattodo but if you are, I'd recommend the other way around if you want to hit TC and arndale, the journey is similar and it's free to park at the TC while arndale is extortionate.

I evolved a hitmonchan today so I think the only pokemon I'm missing now (apart from regionals that haven't been available here, the unreleased legendaries and smeargle/delibird) are chansey and blissey. I've hatched tons of 10k but chansey evades me :(

I'm not, no, but thanks anyway Smile

Chansey/Blissey evaded me for ages, then I hatched two and had enough to get my Blissey, so don't fear, Chansey will appear!

Apart from the pokedex entry, you're not missing out too much; they're good gym defenders, but they aren't good for attacking (especially in raids - anyone using a Blissey in a raid is asked to switch!).

But yes, missing one is very frustrating.
