Pokemon Go Thread #29: Are Friends Manectric? Are they?

[DoctorTwo]

Ooh look! A shiny new thread! Hello everybody.

[ademanlu]

I will try and remember @tumpymummy (might need to set an alarm as we are off camping tomorrow!)

[sandycloud]

Hey. I need to win 3 great league battles for a really old challenge. Would anyone friend me to do this?? My code is 9814 6758 2587. I have added some people from this thread possibly. My name is Pokémonmatt as I took over my sons account. Thank you!!!

[BaronessBomburst]

@SoulofanAggron one of us has to open a gift. I'll send you one and you can put an egg on and open whenever you like. Gertrude doesn't need the XP.

[BaronessBomburst]

@TheMShip you can still beat Giovanni, don't worry. The battles are pitched to your trainer level.

[Cupidity]

@sandycloud I've just sent you a friend request (I'm NoobTree) - I'll be available for battles

[sandycloud]

Thanks noobtree!! That's a great help. Felt a bit mean battling you when you were helping me!!

[Cupidity]

No worries - it went against my competitive instincts to willingly let someone else win, but I did it. And got a sinoh stone for the first battle so all is good

[ignatiusjreilly]

@tumpymummy I’m up for coordinegging on Tue (I’m MistyXYCool)

@sandycloud I’ve added you. Always up for a battle!

Does anyone here use a Motorola G8 for playing Pokemon Go? If so, do you recommend it? I’ve decided I need a new phone as the game is crashing constantly because I only have 1GB RAM.

[bellabelly]

@sandycloud I will add you, happy to battle if you still need to. I'm debstonmon2.

[BaronessBomburst]

I have a G6 Plus and have never had any problems.

[ignatiusjreilly]

Thank you, Baroness. That’s really useful.

It was the last straw when I finally got J&J this morning, then it crashed just as the battle started. By the time it had reloaded they had gone.

[BaronessBomburst]

Oh no! They will be back though. Extra sightings tomorrow 11am - 2pm local time.

[bellabelly]

I finally did it on my eleventy billionth try - I beat Giovanni! Felt giddy with happiness and disbelief!

[HighBrows]

Thanks @BaronessBomburst & @SoulofanAggron I got 600,000 when we went best Buddy's.

I tried to beat Giovanni, battled 10 rounds I just couldn't do it, I'll try again if he comes back.
@sandycloud I've added you I'm StephVanjie.

[HighBrows]

@bellabelly which pokemon did you use? Well done I'm so jealous!

[chunkyrun]

Whenever I evolve a Evie it turns into veleron. How do I evolve it to something different?

[WhyNotMe40]

You have to rename it first - different names give different evolutions.

[BaronessBomburst]

Or evolve it next to a Pokestop with a special lure module on (for glaceon or leafeon), or walk with it for 10 kilometres as your buddy then evolve by day for an espeon, and by night for an umbreon.

[bellabelly]

@HighBrows, I used Emboar,then Milotic against Dugtrio, then switched to Leafeon for Suicine. When Leafeon fainted, Molotov was ready and nearly charged to attack. Emboar was good against the Persian because his attack charges up quite quickly.

[newroundhere]

I just beat Giovanni!!! Feels like I've been trying for months

[Jboure]

@tunpymumpy. I'm not free next tuesday to coordinate but you go ahead, no problem

[newroundhere]

I used Hariyama, Empoleon and Alolan Golem but it was a really close run thing

[PanamaPattie]

I've given up trying to beat the leaders. I've wasted so much time, potions and revives.

[bellabelly]

@newroundhere, well done! I just caught a whismur which was actually a Ditto. That's my second Ditto in a week after WEEKS of searching for one when it was a task. On a similar note, I am doing loads of Excellent throws now we don't need to do 50 of the bloody things...

[Corneliusmurphy]

Giovanni is hard! Will have to have another try tomorrow... had nido king as his 2nd, I think I need to power everything up.

And yes loads of excellent throws now I don’t need them
