PokemonGo #14. Rhydon Time, Rhy-Rhy- Rhydon Time...

[DoctorTwo]

It could have been Absol ute beginners, but it wasn't.

Our new thread, fellow players. All are welcome.

They've been gradually removing a group of pokestops in town. One on the now almost completely demolished passport offices and another couple on the now demolished and rebuilt shopping centre. The last one disappeared last night.

I still can't get in - Trainer Club on Android.

Bum.

Still extra stardust, btw. A bit annoying that it won't be worth visiting nests on Saturday, mind.

New mini-event, hence the dogs!

PickAChew Crosspost! Why is it not worth visiting nests on Saturday?

There's shiny poochyena for ds1 but not me to catch, this time.

Because they were swamped by luvdisc so will no doubt be swamped by dogs, now.

And it's too blooming cold and muddy to risk the disappointment (one nest we were considering floods and the other is in a slightly dodgy area)

Ahh, fair enough

Shiny Poochyena is live!

Ah back in now.

Got my shiny Luvdisc (and now have 650 Luvdisc candy)
Can't find a shiny Poochyena yet.

I got a shiny luvdisc too. Bit crippled with a kidney infection today but hoping to get out and try to find a shiny pooch!

Still no shiny. Went out for a walk with the boys, this afternoon, and ds1 had a massive meltdown so all Pokémon stopped happening.

Does triple stardust with selected poke finish tomorrow eve? Have just realised it would be good to go out catching and set a star piece off, so am thinking it will need to be tomorrow morning or early afternoon.

Does triple stardust with selected poke finish tomorrow eve?

tumpymummy Yes, 9pm tomorrow (well, technically today now ) the 17th February.

It’s triple stardust on Growlithe, Eevee, Snubbull, Poochyena and Electrike.

I never thought Eevee was a dog. I always thought fawn or fox

I never thought Eevee was a dog. I always thought fawn or fox

KadabrasSpoon Eevee isn’t a dog, nor a fawn or fox. It’s just a mammalian quadruped creature.

Since there are no animals in the Pokemon universe, no Pokemon is “meant” to be a type of animal. We may attribute them as looking similar, and they may have been created with a likeness to our own animals, but none of the Pokemon are ”meant” to be any particular type of animal.

They’ll have just needed more Pokemon for the event, so chucked Eevee in due to the four legs

Some are animals though - the Japanese name for Farfetchd contains duck.

Glad for the slightly random inclusion though even though I think Houndoom looks more dog like than Eevee - I always need more Eevee candy!

KadabrasSpoon Still, there are no animals in the Pokemon Universe itself bar the occasional bee or wasp, so no Pokemon is “meant” to be a particular animal.

It can look like and resemble one, sure, even have a similar name to one, but it is not meant to “be” one is all I’m saying

And yes I agree about Houndour and Houndoom!

You always need more Eevee candy? Although rare in the games, I see Eevee absolutely everywhere!

Yeah before the weather related spawns started I'd hardly ever see an Eevee. I still pinap them all.

My eevee caught is 157. Things like Rattata are nearly 3,000!

I suppose your environment more reflects the rarity of them in the game.

I stopped catching them unless they were a good CP; once I had enough candies for future Eeveelutions I didn’t really need too many more.

Since I live in a water area we also see he occasional Vaporeon milling about too, which is good for stardust and candies.

Ahh see I hardly ever see Ratatta! I’ve only ever seen 107 and caught 88.

And I've still not got the Rattata gold medal!
A wild Vaporean would be cool. I do like rare wild catches. My single very rubbish 100CP Snorlax was a wild one

Had a successful egg hatching spree today!

I hatched a Corphish and a Pineco from my 5KM eggs, which means I can finally evolve Pineco into Forretress.

Hatched a Snorlax from a 10KM. I went from not having any at all for well over a year, to now having 4! Still, the candies are always useful. My other 10KM gave me a Trapinch, which is a new one for the Pokédex. I'm only on 68 for the Hoenn region, but I've got a few more evolutions to do, so including those, maybe 75-80?

It's interesting to see how much the Pokemon spawns vary in different areas. I'm currently walking Diglett, and have been for nearly 70KM now. They're so rare around where I live! I've also never even seen a shadow of, let alone caught, a Sandshrew.

I'm trying to complete my Pokédex according to region- so, I'm walking what I need for Gen 1 before moving on to 2 and 3. It's tempting to skip a few 'mon sometimes, as I'm so close on others (for example, I only need 14 Larvitar candies to get Tyranitar), but I'm trying to be efficient and patient
