Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

Shiny new thread starts here.

Thanks for mentioning PokeGenie, so much easier than the website I was using! :)

Thanks for mentioning PokeGenie, so much easier than the website I was using!

You're welcome It's an absolutely brilliant app, and because it just uses screenshots and doesn't require log in info, it's not breaking any of Niantic's t&c's so it's all above board.

It's amazing!! I used an it calculator website early on when appraisals were introduced, but it was clunky and basic. This is epic!!

Very poor day on go, managed to spin a pokestop so I haven't lost my streak, nothing else has happened. I'm still waiting for Snorlie to come out of the gym so I can buy another incubator.

Currently sitting at home playing Pokemon yellow on my 3DS. I never had it as a child, lusted after it though! Bought myself a 3DS for Christmas and I love it! Starting with old Pokémon and Zelda games and working my way through everything - so much fun! Im basically doing at 27 things I never got a chance to do age 11

Argh, sorry I've been away! I work in academia and my research field is around fire (being slightly vague to try to not completely out myself!).

I didn't get too many pokemon while I was away, but I left a pokemon in a quite rural gym with dodgy signal so wondering if I might finally get a (useless) gold gym 😂

Oooh wartortle that sounds really interesting. (Imagines playing with fire all day)

How do you get a gold gym? Is it just by accruing hours of defending it? My snorlie is still at the stately home - stuck there until at least 10am tomorrow. It was rainy and grey here today, clearly nobody fancied going there!

How do you get a gold gym? Is it just by accruing hours of defending it?

There are several things that help you get a gold gym badge. You get 100 badge XP for just adding a Pokemon, while you get 1 badge XP per minute you hold the gym.

Feeding berries gives you 10 badge XP (plus 20 stardust) and defeating a defending Pokemon also gives you badge XP.

By far the biggest way to get badge XP though is defeating a raid at that gym, as that gives you 1000.

Have they changed how many coins we get for our pokemon? I had 2 come out of the gyms yesterday and received coins for both- 9 for one and 41 for another.

Dillite it's 50 coins per day maximum. So the 9+41 would give you your 50 coins for the day

Even if the mon that earned 9 coins had been in the gym a long time, because your other mon earned 41, the most it could bring back on that day would be 9.

Hope that helps

I'm now doubting myself that 9+41 is 50

Dillite2 Nope, the amount of coins per day hasn't changed; it's still 50. cottonwool125 is right

Some new data has been added into the game, which you can read about here: www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6v7u7c/the_silph_roads_apk_mine_of_v0710_is_complete_a/

It does include the very basics for Gen III, however there are no sounds or new movesets, both of which need to be added before Gen III can go live.

It is worth noting that when Gen II was first seen in the data, it was another three months before it went live, and that only added roughly 80 new Pokemon, whereas Gen III adds 135, so it could be even longer.

So don't get your hopes up it'll be soon because it won't be!

I'm excited about the superior egg incubators!

I'm nearly on my gold badge for walking!

Oooh nice one Somewhat, post when you get it! I'm at 838.4 so a bit to go still.

Nothing too exciting here, got my third Electabuzz from a raid yesterday, not my best one but still good. Working on a 10k egg right now after hatching all my 2ks.

I am finding this whole coin issue confusing still. I have had 2 pokemon come out on the same day that were placed in the gyms on that same day and only one would return with coins and it wasn't 50 coins either. Either way I won't moan and just enjoy what I have. I now jave 749 coins. I have never had this many just from the game. I just can't be arsed to spend any of them.

Ta da!

Followed up a few minutes later by hatching a dratini, and getting my bronze dragon medal at long last! 13 months and 10 dragon types!!! Oddly I have a decent Dragonite that I caught on my birthday about 6 months ago

Nice one somewhat!

I don't have my bronze dragon yet either, and I STILL don't have a sandslash. 13 months and I've only seen & caught 5 sandshrews. Where are they all?!

Does the CP of Pokémon in gyms go down over time even if they're not in battle? Someone fed my snorlie some berries today, but he's still not out of the gym at the stately home. I've got 3 in gyms now, I bet they all come out on the same day and I only get 50cins for the three of them! Really need more incubators! So fed up of boring 5k eggs.

Great news from sulphur road re the update - super incubators sound so good! Also DP got a TM upgrade todY, I didn't know about them! Need some for my gyarados, he's only got twister so is really rubbish. I've found a local fb raid group and asked to be added to the chat, hopefully I'll get some more raids. Got another bay leaf today, slowly racking up the candies. What does he evolve to?

I also didn't realise you got stardust for feeding berries at gyms - that's really good too!

Dillite2 You only get 50 coins a day, and that counts from midnight.

So either your Pokemon wasn't in long enough to get the 50 coins, or you'd have had another Pokemon come out earlier that you'd forgotten about.

A pokemon's motivation goes down the longer they're in the gym; only feeding berries ups it a bit. They can only come out if they're battled out regardless of how low their motivation is.

Well done Somewhat! :)

Half marathon training and a pogo plus helps rack up the milage

Is the pogo plus any good?

MummySparkle, all the sandshrews are in Fuerteventura as far as I could tell. I caught loads while I was there.

I love my PoGo+. It really helps you level up without too much effort and I get so many Pokémon to grind now as well. Also a big improvement on having to keep the app open while you're walking so it saves battery and picks up all your miles for egg hatching.

Does it alert you to being near pokestop stop? Can you spin stops with it?

Yes stops - it comes up blue (instead of green for a Pokémon you have, and yellow for one you haven't seen before). Can't spin gyms though.

I've only ever caught one Sandshrew and that was in Lanzarote. I had to walk it to get my Sandslash, which I got today

So I just need Dodrio to complete Gen I now (apart from regionals and Legendaries not yet in the game)
