PokemonGo #15. We're gonna rock down to Electrike Avenue

[DoctorTwo]

Here we go with a shiny new thread.

Anyone else's weather broken? On ds1's phone as well as mine and force stop hasn't fixed it.

Doh! Everyone's is!

yeah we have 'no weather' here either.

Ditto where are yooooou? I always catch the annoying thing when trying to pidgey farm and then when I actually need it. Nope.
I thought I'd be stuck on the Gary stage as only had 8 candies but the event sorted that. Not even got to that stage yet!

I need a ditto too, and 2 more ghost types. Getting annoying now!

Managed to get that last raid, spent all afternoon curveballing everything but still missing the elusive excellent one. Nearly there!

Dobby Well done on getting your raids done. Mr Mime, Electabuzz and Sudwoodo Are good targets for the curve excellent based on their big circles and comfortable distance. HTH good luck!

Kadabra and Rue I completely sympathise I felt like i was stuck trailing ditto around for ages. I had caught one 20 mins BEFORE I reached that level of tasks, and then it took me days to find one. (Once I did I obviously caught another one 10 minutes later! sod's law )

Also still waiting for a Ditto - sick of catching everything in case it is one

Feel like I’ve been chasing a ditto forever. Every pudges/rattata etc. I see I pounce on!

Another one waiting for a ditto. There was a time when I was catching multiple ditto a day. I had another Moltres as a reward for completing field tasks so now I have 2. Hopefully it will be some other mon on Saturday when I collect my 8th stamp.

Unlikely dillite I know people who've been catching their 3rd Moltres today but we shall see....

dillite No, it’s not changed. Moltres is still the reward for the 3rd week.

Oh, I had no idea that it was set by weeks. I was hoping it was a random reward.

dillite No, it’s not random. Everyone gets the same Pokemon.

I suppose my choice of the word ‘week’ is wrong; I more meant for the third time you complete the seven day field research at this time it’s definitely still Moltres.

We’re not yet sure how it’s going to pan out; whether if as soon as it gets to May they’ll change it or after every four you do it will get changed. We’re unsure, but it does appear likely it might change by month.

Regardless of how they decide to change it, everyone gets the same Pokemon, so if you’re behind you can find out what you’re going to get when you get there.

Just, just as I was about to give up for the day a makuhita appeared and well...

She's mine. Mine. All mine. And I luffs her.

Good luck everyone trying to catch dittos, battle in raids, trying to excellent curve ball etc. May today also be your day

She's mine. Mine. All mine. And I luffs her.

Dobby1sAFreeElf Congrats on Mew! What IVs? But it doesn’t actually have a gender

Its DNA has the genetic composition of all other Pokemon and within the games the scientists see it as the single ancestor of all other Pokemon too.

I have no clue on the IV front!

I know Mew is non gender but I felt cruel calling her it so decided this one could be a her like my real kitty. I'm also considering calling any other cats I get in the future Mew and Mewtwo

Plugged the info into something and got IV of 87%. I'm guessing that's ok.

Dobby1sAFreeElf Your best option for an IV calculator is the app PokeGenie; it gives you an accurate percentage after you put in the appraisal.

87% is good (same as mine, but CP 1304); the majority of Mews seem to be in the 80s.

For anything you want to evolve and power up and battle with though, you want over 90%, but that doesn’t really apply to Mew

Yay level 20 now! I got a moltres today too

CollyWombles Congrats! The game definitely starts getting more interesting now, as the Pokemon you catch and hatch will be much better

More Pokestops and Gyms have been added to the game, so keep an eye out!

I spotted at least 3 new ones as we passed through the city centre, this evening.

Yeah, it’s because high level Ingress players have the ability to add portals in their game which are then added to Pokémon Go as stops and gyms

It doesn't just happen occasionally though... ingress members of the right level can request/propose up to 7 new portals every 14 days.

The usual delay between a portal being accepted in ingress and turning up in PoGo is about 24-48hrs. So it's actually happening all the time not just in 'waves'

Also information about S14 cells and how many stops are needed per cell to trigger the 1st, 2nd or 3rd gyms is available on the silph road. But it's worth noting that the stop which becomes a gym seems to be chosen at random.
