Pokemon Go #16. Cast adrift on memory Blissey of you.

[DoctorTwo]

Anybody remember this? No? Just me then. I managed to raid and catch Latios yesterday.

New thread, all are welcome.

My preciousssss

I've heard that there are Lapras in 2k eggs. Someone in my WhatsApp group has already got two of them. Now that's just downright greedy!

Yes, there are new Pokemon in 2km eggs. I’ve posted a picture so you can see what’s available and which ones you have the chance of hatching a shiny of

Where oh where can I find a Ditto

Where oh where can I find a Ditto

OrianaBanana All these Pokémon pictures in the attached Infographic have the potential to be Ditto.

Your best chance is just to make sure you click on and catch every single one of these Pokémon you come across. Eventually one will be a Ditto!

Their rarity is Uncommon (on a scale of Everywhere, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare and Almost Mythical), so it’s not too bad.

Whattodo - add Mankey and Remoraid to the list. Both can be Ditto.

Ahh yes, Mankey was added as a chance to be Ditto during the fighting event (though it’s unclear if it was just for the duration of the fighting event due to increased spawns or whether it was permanent), and Remoraid a few days ago for the water event.

And for attacking gyms/ raiding, a Machamp army is absolutely vital. If you can rank them up, and TM to Counter/Dynamic punch, you can cut through the Blisseys, Chanseys and Absols.
I use them daily. They are amazing.

These fellas are my best boys!

Any tips for findinire revives/potions? Pokestops and gyms seem to have stopped giving them.

Thrilled to see super incubators back in the shop!

Wow just got one from a Remoraid!! Had to buy more pokeballs but still...

Thanks!

You seem to get quite a few revives from research Sneaky

Normal research? I'll get 15 for next great research but I need to catch a ditto first.

throwawayagain Gotta love Machamp! I have a 100% one that I’m very happy with

Any tips for findinire revives/potions? Pokestops and gyms seem to have stopped giving them.

SneakyGremlins The majority of revives and potions I get tend to be as rewards from raid battles.

Stops and gyms still give potions and revives, however they are back to their normal drop rate after a heavily increased one during the battle and fighting event, so they probably appear rarer when they’re really just back to normal.

There are currently no field research rewards that give potions or revives as rewards.

Here is a list of all the current field research tasks and their respective rewards: www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/8nv2cd/field_research_encounter_and_special_rewards/?st=ji7w36c9&sh=c5105723

After getting a bloody Swinub out of a 2K egg today I really hope the next one is a Lapras!

Power up?

SneakyGremlins Definitely not! Kingler is a weak Pokémon with very, very poor movesets. Powering it up would be a massive waste of precious and rare stardust.

With being such a low level, I would advise against powering up the majority of, if not all, Pokemon until you reach Level 30.

(I would also say 88% is not high enough to power up any Pokemon unless it’s a legendary and that’s your highest IV.)

Righto! I won't then

Could I theoretically find a wild gyrados with the event that's on?

Love living near gyms

Could I theoretically find a wild gyrados with the event that's on?

SneakyGremlins It’s possible but rare, and even if you did, it would likely be a low CP with even lower IVs, so it wouldn’t be worth keeping.

Gyarados is an amazing Pokemon that is used frequently in battles, so you want the highest IV you can possibly find.

Due to living in a water area and have hundreds of Magikarp candies, I have several Gyarados (including a 93% shiny!), and use them all the time because they’re so good, but I would never keep/battle/power up one below 90%.

I think it’s especially important to make sure you have a high IV Gyarados if you’re short on candies for them, as they’re such a great Pokémon you don’t want to waste the candies you’ve saved such a long time for.

Thankyou so much! One last question

Does the IV stay the same when evolving a Pokémon?

Does the IV stay the same when evolving a Pokémon?

SneakyGremlins Yes it does A Pokemon’s IVs are set upon capture; they don’t change afterwards.

And you’re very welcome; feel free to ask as many questions as you wish

I appreciate it! So when I have 400 magikarp candy I'll just need a high IV one to evolve
