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.

I’ve never understood the difference between trainer accounts and google accounts. Anyone know what it is? I log in with gmail so I presume I have a google account.

Murinae The only difference is that they’re on different servers; Trainer Accounts are on Pokemon Go’s own servers while Google Accounts use Google servers. As a result, Google Accounts tend to be more stable.

If you log in with gmail, you have a Google Account.

Thanks all - that's interesting. I do have a trainer account & am back in again now. Didn't realise there was a difference re servers!

Another three raids today. One on an ex gym and all with a lucky egg so 120000 xp for that. I like double xp events!

More ex raids here, my city has two this time. Managed to hatch two swablu, a trapinch and a bagon today so far better than my normal hatches. Have two more 10k in incubators plus one waiting too.

@wartortle88 I now have two ex raid passes for Saturday with an hour between them. Sadly I am not here and so will let others do them for me. The last one I got yesterday evening. Not much notice!

Well one friend caught me this one and not heard back from other friend yet. It’s 91% so my best yet

Over the past day I've caught my first bagon (crap IV), a shiny swablu (crap IV but high enough co to evolve. I'm only a cloudy day off my third altaria, anyhow) and a high iv high level Lotad so I can finally evolve ludiculo.

I hatched this today, which means the only (released) Gen 3 I can't walk to get is Azurill 😁

I don't have a chimecho, but one of the first Gen3 eggs I hatched was an Azurill. Which was a bit of a touch 😁

I've still got loads of gen 3 to get. Got heaps of 10k eggs at the moment so hoping for some decent ones!

I've been getting lots of 10k eggs, this week. So far it's been two trapinch and, today, a fee as (with lots of candy so I'm now walking my stonking feebas so I can evolve it), a larvitar (handy candy) and a bloody aerodactyl.

My feebas are all rubbish. I’m waiting for a better one before I use all my hard walked candies. Not got a chimecho yet either

And I now have five mewtwos 🙃

Shiney Swablu!

Hacked off with mine not recording distance properly - went out for a walk this morning and didn't register a lot of the distance- will have to pop out to finish off some eggs to hatch.

Oh wow, shiny stably! I only have 33 more candy to get to evilvecSwablu but have never seen a shiny.

I was quite lucky and caught a shiny Swablu very early on; think it was the 25th Swablu that I’d seen?

But I evolved my 100% Swablu first, and now I’m 300/400 candies to evolve my shiny Swablu.

Five mewtwo, wow murinae ! I didn't have an invite to either of the latest raids here, but I only wanted Mewtwo for the dex entry so I'm okay with that. I evolved a feebas today so I'm up to 107 Hoenn mon, quite pleased :)

Caught my first legendary today

I remember my first legendary CaeciliusIstInAtrium, and the massive grin it left on my face. Congrats on your first, a Rayquaza I assume.

My own news: I have bought 9 super incubators, each one of which is cooking a 10km egg. This is the first time I've had 9x10k eggs and they're all going to hatch at the same time. I must remember to chuck a Lucky Egg just before they hatch.

Congrats CaeciliusIstInAtrium

The first legendary raid I did was Lugia, but I didn’t catch it on that first raid. The first legendary Pokemon that I caught was Articuno.

Congrats CaeciliusIstInAtrium my first legendary was also a lugia and we needed about 14 people to take one down. Now we can take down a ray with only three of us. Makes doing raids much easier.
I am now only 36000 from levelling up to 38.

I was surprised at how weak Ray was. I raised a Kyogre on community day (didn't catch it) and he was solid. Ate through my stocks of revives. Still trying to replenish now... Up to 20!

my first legendary was also a lugia and we needed about 14 people to take one down. Now we can take down a ray with only three of us.

Murinae There’s two reasons for this; the first is that the majority of players were much lower levels last summer than they are now, and the second is that different Legendaries have different requirements.

Lugia is a much tougher legendary than Rayquaza, with Lugia having such a high defense and Rayquaza’s being so low, and as a result Lugia needs more people to take it down.

Kyogre is a beast to take down, he regularly cost me (and others) 12-15 revives. Rayquaza might see me use 6 or 7.

I think my 9x10km eggs are going to hatch tomorrow, looking forward to some good ones and going over 2.5Mn stardust.

Heloo everyone! I didn' know that there were PoGo-ers on Mumsnet.

Hope you don't mind me barging in!
