soupforbrains Welcome! What team and level are you?

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 14:20

I'm Instinct Level 34. :)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 14/03/2018 14:36

Ooh a rare Instinct player Grin

SoupForBrains Hello fellow Instinct team member Grin waves

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 14:43

ooh 2 of us?! @cottonwool125 are we actually allowed to be in the same lpace at the same time??

Murinae · 14/03/2018 15:40

Welcome cottonwool125 feel free to jump in. The more the merrier. I levelled up finally this morning to level 38 (but I’m mystic). This double xp event really helped levelling up. Going to be a long slog to 39.

Murinae · 14/03/2018 15:41

Argh meant welcome soupforbrains

RueDeWakening · 14/03/2018 19:24

Welcome! Instinct are known as stinkies round here, sorry Grin

RueDeWakening · 14/03/2018 19:25

(Not MN, I mean in my local PoGo WhatsApp groups!)

GreenShadow · 14/03/2018 19:40

Didn't realise Instinct were a minority on here - in my home town we rule the roost!

k2p2k2tog · 14/03/2018 19:47

Still slim pickings on PoGo round these ways. The only new thing I've caught recently was a Beldum. Two days ago I got a shiny Swablu which is awesome.... not so awesome that the day before I'd finally gathered the 400 candy to evolve a regular blue one. Will be a while before I get a shiny Altaria.

Still walking the Carvanha. 9 candy to go to evolve. Would be lovely to see a double candy or half the walking event soon.

GreenShadow It’s not just on MN. Worldwide, Instinct are the team with the fewest players, by a very long way.

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 20:39

I've hatched soooo many 10 k eggs lately and all I get a sodding Skarmory or mareep total snoozefest. It's infuriating. Haha.

I evolved my shiny Altaria the other day. I'm very proud. Up until the last community day event I hadn't caught or even seen ANY shinies at all. During he event I caught 3 shiny dratini and my shiny swablu. So I now have a shiny Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite and Altaria.

I'm a bit colour-blind so I for one am very glad they've brought in the shiny icon as I was perpetually paranoid that I just couldn't see that things like shuppet or pikachu were shiny and would just transfer them. Especially Shuppet, I can't see that colour difference at all.

Welcome to the threads @soupforbrains, our town is mostly Mystic with some Valor and a few Instinct. We try to fix it so that we all get coin almost every day. By that I mean every team.

My 9x10km eggs hatched: Ralts, Bagon Slakoth, Chimecho, Larvitar, Beldum, Feebas and 2x Skarmory were the result. I remembered the Lucky Egg and including catches I scored 53k XP.

soupforbrains If you’re hatching Mareep, it’s an old 10km egg from before the windy egg event as they aren’t in the current 10km egg set.

The only Pokemon available in 10km eggs at the moment are Aerodactyl, Dratini, Skarmory, Ralts, Chimecho, Bagon and Beldum.

So any Pokemon from a 10km egg that isn’t on that list is from before the windy egg event Smile

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 20:52

To be fair I haven't hatched any mareep for a few days. I've been picking almost exclusively 10ks though.

Yesterday I hatched a Skarmory and a dratini and today I hatch 3 Skarmory.

The Skarmory I find really infuriating because they are useless and you can't even use up the candy to evolve them as part of a mass evolve. The Dratini would have been a cause for excitement had we not had the recent community event too.

I find it really annoying because there are some pokes in the 10k eggs that I don't have at all yet.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 14/03/2018 20:54

soupforbrains Yeah, the drop rate for 10km eggs has been dramatically increased so the majority of eggs people have will be 10kms.

soupforbrains · 14/03/2018 20:57

Having said that. Right now I only have 4 10ks and they're all in incubators already so the last 4 eggs I've picked up have been 2x2ks and 2x5ks.

PikachuHeadgear · 14/03/2018 21:04

If I hatch another Skarmory I'll scream.

Someone put this in our Instinct chat the other day (we haven't been too popular around here recently either Blush).

LBOCS2 · 14/03/2018 22:56

I caught a wild skarmory today, so I could really do without hatching any as well. I've got four 10k eggs in fast incubators so they should be out soon especially if I get caught on any more slow trains.

BouleBaker · 15/03/2018 03:11

I’m team Instinct too. We seem to have a good balance in our town, no one team rules the roost.

soupforbrains · 15/03/2018 08:49

Hatched. Feebas this morning. Not the MOST exciting BUT it did bring 32 candy which is nice because I don't have a Milotic yet and that brings me just a few candy away so time to start walking my Feebas I think.

cottonwool125 · 15/03/2018 09:41

Seems to be a fairly even Mystic/Valour/Instinct split in my town too. There are 3 gyms, and normally each one is claimed by a different team at any one time Smile

soupforbrains · 15/03/2018 09:48

There are a fairly equal number of Mystic and Valour in my area but significantly fewer Instinct.

We are he most liked team though. Mystic and Valour tend to argue a lot, and get in each other's nerves/let it bubble over into real life. Whereas Instinct are just generally friendly with everyone. There aren't enough of us to dominate/take over or, like the other teams in our area, fall out with someone and then specifically coordinate to kick only that person out of all gyms. 🙄

It's silly just how seriously some people take it. And also daft how angry people get about others just playing the game. Haha.

Out of curiosity is anyone on here in the Chester area? I'm not but one of my friends is being relocated there by our work and he doesn't want to miss out on PoGo WhatsApp or Discord that maybe exists for the area.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 15/03/2018 10:07

soupforbrains Make sure you’re walking your best Feebas ie. the Feebas that you want to evolve, as the candies don’t transfer to other Feebas’ Smile

Everyone in our group gets on as a lot of us have known each other way before Pokemon Go even came out, but the five or six Instinct players that we have are the most competitive and take the game the most seriously.

Usually you wake up in the morning and find one of them has been around the town in the middle of the night and taken all the gyms, but during the day it’s Mystic and Valour.
