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.

Hatches*

It was a Mareep. It's very cute and fluffy. And it's not another bloody skarmory, which is a bonus.

Just got my first little Pichu from a 2K egg! Not a shiny unfortunately but still a new one for the Pokedex.

I think I'm only missing cleffa from the 2km eggs. Everything else I've got.

I don't have any legendary (not a hope around here it's rural) or regionals, so how many 'regular' Pokemon am I missing?

Ugh, I hate the 50 coin a day rule. I just had two Pokemon return today. One has only been in a gym since last night, one has been there for days. So 50 points for the one since last night, nothing for the one that lasted days. Starting to feel like there's no point in being in more than one gym at a time because this keeps happening to me.

pinkblink I believe you are missing 5 regular Pokemon

Because there's 251 in Gen I and Gen II, 11 Legendaries and 6 regionals. However, I'm going to assume you have our own regional Mr Mime.

pinkblink If you give me their pokedex numbers I can tell you what you're missing

The current total for everything that has been available in the UK is 239 as far as I know, with 5 legendaries (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia and Entei) plus Kangaskhan and Unown as event exclusive. So with 230 I make it missing only 2-4 regular pokemon depending on whether you have Kanga and Unown.

To break it down, the ones that haven't been released in the UK are the 6 remaining legendaries (mewtwo, Mew, Ho-oh, Raikou, Suicune and celebi), the 4 other regionals (far-fetchd, Heracross, Tauros, Corsola) then the completely unreleased Smeargle and Delibird which is 12, so 239 out of 251 for the UK :)

Final one I promise, I know unown can very occasionally spawn as a non-event but for most players it's rare enough outside of them that in practice it's basically exclusive

An onown popped up on my nearby Pokémon list when I was on the coach out of Birmingham a month ago. That was really annoying.

pinkblink It would be so much easier if you gave us the pokedex numbers you're missing

My bet is placed on two regular plus Kanga and Unown :)

Has anyone else noticed a lot of neutral gyms around recently or is it just my city? I took three on a walk this evening and there were two more in sight.

I've only ever seen one neutral gym.

I can see 10 from where I'm sat in the living room. None are neutral. They're all the wrong team tonight as well.

Cropped a bit for privacy, here are 4 of the ones I saw tonight

Yes! All of the gyms near me were neutral earlier this afternoon.

(Also, hello all - I've been lurking on the Pokemon threads for ages but haven't said anything mostly because I'm a bit ashamed that I'm only level 25 but have decided to come out of my shell now!!)

Hello Orecchiette Level 25 is nothing to be ashamed of, that's close to 1,000,000 XP earned! Im only a short way through level 27, so not all of us are in the 30's quite a lot of us are still in the 20's!

Hi Oreochetti ;)

Or Orecchiette even

Welcome, orecchietti!

And we never, ever have neutral gyms

Hello Orecchiette.

Don't worry about the level. I ended up restarting a while ago and am only level 23 at the moment.

Empty gyms (copied from Reddit)

IT could be spoofers not wanting their name reported

IT could be people who dont want some preson seekign revenge and nukign all of their gyms but wants to beat out the other teams

IT could just be a bored person killing time, battle the gym let someone else take it and repeat over and over, its real common on high turnover locations as there is no point putting a Pokemon in if you will get it back 2 min alter and you already got coins for the day

It also could occasionally be a gym error (happened to me) or that the person who has emptied the gym has run out of time and has to run for the train or whatever (also happened to me)
