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

[DoctorTwo]

Shiny new thread starts here.

[KakunaRattata]

Well I have definitely got a lot to learn, how do I get better IVs then? Is it to do with the original CP when caught as some of my high CP pokemon have really poor IV (eeveelutions being the worst) . Sorry for coming in and asking loads of questions! At least my gyrados is 80+

CPs and IVs have no relation to each other; you can have high CP and poor IV and vice Verda. Your IVs also can never change; they are forever what they are when you catch it.

Good IVs are just chance.

OMG a Pokémon thread and it's number twelve!!!!! How have I not seen the others?
Thought I was the only saddo grown up chasing them.
Btw, I've never seen anyone else at a raid either but do sign into my hubbys account when I take a gym to 'let him' lend me his strongest Pokémon to help defend it lol

[Mrsmomo]

I got unowned and Kansas tan together at the same polestop on sat (I'm in Belfast)2 for 1

It's not sad, and the majority of players are adults because they grew up on the games.

[PickAChew]

Your phone has a lot to learn about Pokémon, Mrsmomo :o

Well, it might be a teeny bit sad but do we care! 😂


I caught an unown but the only kangasksn fled 😭😭. It's ok though as I can go back to the town where they are easily enough.

[Mrsmomo]

Pickachew I got so excited to find this thread that I think I went into speed type mode and bypassed the spellcheck,lol.

[Mrsmomo]

What to do, I don't feel like a saddo, I love it and it gets me out and about walking and de stressing, my kids on the other hand keep asking how am I still playing that game it's soooo sad.
My boys are hard core gamers, I'm more of an evenings and weekends girl I suppose. I'm so happy to find this thread to chat about Pokémon.

[Mrsmomo]

Pokemon go I feel your pain.
Now, if someone could please tell me how to flit in and out of messages to check before posting that'd be great

[RudeDog]

Ooh new thread - I'm still a bit post event sad. Especially as I haven't been able to do raids and the cities thing wasn't near me

[WhatToDoAboutThis2017]

RudeDog Aww If you can get to a city, you can still get Kangaskhan and Unown until the 21st August.

[KadabrasSpoon]

Welcome Mrsmomo

[wartortle]

Just posting so I don't lose the thread, things disappear from watched on my app. We were in Manchester today but very busy so not much pokemon though I did find a lapras

[Mrsmomo]

Thank you Kababraspoon, good to be here.

[Mrsmomo]

Sorry kadabraspoon.

It's been a bit light on raids round here today, not just legendaries but all types.

[LBOCS2]

I haven't got any legendaries yet :( there are loads of raids going on but I'm having to cart the littlies around with me, so I need the car - and lots of the gyms just aren't very accessible by car :( bum. We tried for an articuno a couple of weeks ago with 7, but just ran out of time.

But, I've finally completed Gen1 (apart from the inaccessible regionals) and am well on my way to Gen2.

I also found out recently that a golf course up the road from us is a scyther nest. Which is super annoying as I only need three to get a steelix. Are the general public allowed to wander onto golf courses if they've got a really good reason? I did get married there...

Scyther turns into Scizor, not Steelix. Onix turns into Steelix

I now have 3 Zapdos (along with my 3 Articunos, 2 Moltres and 4 Lugia), so I'm doing good!

[jennielou75]

Still haven't got a kanga yet and am now going to go into the centre of London to find one! The map shows lots of unowns but not kanga s. Does anyone know for sure where I can catch one?

[WhatToDoAboutThis2017]

jennielou75 If you're in the centre you'll easily come across a few.

[LBOCS2]

Oh yes, What. I'm walking my Onyx for him. Need to do a couple of one person raids to get more rare candies too, because it takes forever when they're 5k/candy.

I personally don't use my rare candies for anything but Legendaries.

[RudeDog]

@WhatToDoAboutThis2017 about 4 hours by train to the nearest place to me - so unfair

[eyebrowsonfleek]

LBOCS nests change at 1am tomorrow so you'll have to track down the new Scyther location.
