Has everybody got Ex Raid passes for next Saturday? Hopefully it'll be another 100% catch rate...

Yeah I've held. Onto a bunch of 90+ eevees but it seems like you can't do much with them, that it's not.about evolving in the time it's more about catching?

Hi guys just thought I would jump on this thread. Add me as a friend if you want.

Are the people who find Swablu uncommon in/near London?

Yep. I'm in z5, so Greater London and I hardly ever see them - I can be out and about all day and only catch one. I never see them at work, which is in town (loads of Magicarp though as I'm on the river!).

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 07/08/2018 08:53

the special move on community day only applies to those caught or hatched during the actual periods this weekend, unlike all the previous community days.

bettytaghetti Actually, I think it was only the first community day that they let you change moves on the Pokémon you already had.

You definitely haven’t been able to for quite a while. I was particularly perturbed by this as I had a 100% Tyrannitar that I would have liked Smack Down for.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 07/08/2018 08:56

Just an addendum to that, I’m talking about already evolved Pokémon, so because I had evolved my 100% Larvitar to a Tyrannitar before the community day I was unable to use a TM to get Smack Down.

Had I evolved it during the event I would have gained the move.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 07/08/2018 08:58

Also, Eevee is a special case, hence this announcement.

Eevee only has a single evolution, but as we know there are many Eeveelutions it can turn into. Because of this, it would be unfair to allow TMs on existing Eevee’s.

bettytaghetti · 07/08/2018 13:07

Wailer I've been able to evolve a stored mon and get the special move on each previous community day, so not sure why you had a problem.

Summernamechange · 07/08/2018 15:41

I read some rumours about gen 4 coming out - it’s just I am desperate to do an evolve session and if there is double xp for the release I want to take advantage! Anyone know?

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 07/08/2018 15:57

bettytaghetti Did ou not see my post directly under that? I added an addendum to clarify I was talking about already fully evolved Pokémon; it was not possible to use a TM on a Tyrannitar you had before the community day to get Smack Down, however if you evolved a Pupitar into a Tyrannitar during those hours, you would get the move.

Summernamechange A gentleman has ‘leaked’ a Gen IV Evolution Event, but it is absolutely not yet confirmed. I posted this earlier in the thread:

He’s basically saying we’ll be getting Gen IV Evolutions of previous Pokémon (eg. Rhyperior, Magmortar, Electrivire etc.), new evolution items, double XP, increased spawns of evolved Pokémon and Gen III evolutions to finally be released in the wild (except Milotic), along with a few other things.

While the source of this ‘leak’ is credible in that they have been correct and successfully leaked before, it is not confirmed, so we can only hope Grin

I do at least two mass evolve sessions every week, so I’m not saving up ready just in case we get double XP. If we do, great! But it won’t effect my lucky egg sessions.

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 07/08/2018 18:33

I’m looking forward to the next nest migration, I hope my local nest is something better than Dunsparce this time. It’s been good things like Scyther, Onix and Duskull in the past but also a Zubat nest...

LBOCS2 · 07/08/2018 19:21

Going past it on the bus I've just realised that one of my local(ish) parks is a Yanma nest, and I only have one... so guess what the DDs and I will be doing tomorrow?! 😁

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 07/08/2018 19:33

I only have one Yanma too, caught it on holiday in Spain. It doesn't have an evolution yet but will when all of gen IIV is finally released.

ContraryToPopularBelief · 07/08/2018 19:35

A quick question about the Eevee day. Will the evolutions be random? I did the naming trick for them before I knew / cared about IVs and as a result have a terrible Espeon. It'd be good if you could control the evolutions.

CrabbitArse · 08/08/2018 07:33

You can still control the evolution to Espeon or Umbreon by having an Eevee as your buddy, walking it for 10km then evolving it whilst still your buddy. Evolve during the daytime for Espeon, nighttime for Umbreon.

LBOCS2 · 08/08/2018 10:18

Has anyone else noticed an increase in rare spawns recently? I went on this morning and saw a Bagon at the pokestop up the road, then a Beldum spawned in my house! Coincidence?

TangelasVine · 08/08/2018 11:05

I was also thinking the spawns are a little different. A fair few evolved pokemon about. Lots of 'wonder' eevee and I don't often see eevee

Mrsmomo · 08/08/2018 12:20

Anyone tell me how I can make sure to use a supereffective charged attack in a gym battle?

Mrsmomo · 08/08/2018 12:20

LB03S2, i wish 😀

bettytaghetti · 08/08/2018 12:28

Calling psychick90! Apologies but I didn't make note of MN usernames vs pogo usernames, since the former changes quite frequently!!
We're due to go ultra friends tomorrow so wondered if you were intending to use an egg? If so do you want to pm me and we could agree a time?
I think the same applies to knittinggenie55 shortly too, so if you want to do the same, let me know!

bettytaghetti · 08/08/2018 13:13

LBOCS2 I've had a few interesting ones lately too, including this cheeky little number whilst enjoying a delicious glass of rosé with lunch! Perfect! (Not the snorlax' ivs unfortunately!!)

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 08/08/2018 14:18

@bettytaghetti that’s me! Evening would suit me better as I’m at work until 5. I’m about to hit level 35 so every XP counts!

bettytaghetti · 08/08/2018 14:54

Takeachansey would 6:30pm UK time suit you to put an egg on? I've got a gift from you so I won't open it till after then. Just let me know if the timing is okay for you 😘

RobinEggs · 08/08/2018 15:43

Hi all, sorry to jump on this thread but I have a question. My 6yo ds loves playing this game on my phone when we’re out and about. For his 7th birthday he’s asked if he can have his own device to play the game on. I really don’t want him to have a smart phone but is there anyway of playing this game on any other device? I do have an old iPhone lying around but I really don’t want him to play on internet or anything else, but am happy for him to play Pokemon. Is that doable at all? A phone just for Pokemon? I suppose I’d have to get a contract so he could have data.

DryHeave · 08/08/2018 15:51

I’ve got a 💯 Eevee I’ve been walking. I know I won’t get the special move, but should I go for Umbreon or Espeon (or leave to chance!) for my evolve?
