Pokemon Go Thread #30: where's my shiny dratini?

[bigchris]

Sorry for rubbish title

@Figrus2 did you get your account back? I have to say this is my biggest fear losing my PoGo account.

I love this thread and Discord is equally as civilised

TeamGplusT is ready to level up with ffgghux, JazzyJazzman and Grebothecat, and TeamTplusG is ready to level up with Adivwinner and JazzyJazzman. Egg at 6pm today? I'm coordinegging with others on Discord.

Is Slackatron here? We're due to go best friends next gift opening.

@PooterLoop are you Slack? Sorry if I've totally lost track of which Mumsnet name and which pogo name match together!

~@Cupidity that question's a bit personal! :o

Is Adam34248 on here by any chance? We're due to level up tomorrow (if you open my gift today). I'm hoping to coordinegg Wednesday at 6pm...

Is Sarell08 on here? You're about to go ultra friends with Misty... I'll open the gift at 6pm tonight unless you tell me otherwise.

Also, if @Lulujogesedes is on here, you're about to go Ultra Friends with Debstonmon2. I will open the triggering gift just after 6pm tonight if you want to put an egg on.

Please ignore the above message @lulu

I got you mixed up with someone else. We won't level up until tomorrow. Let me know if you want to co ordinegg!

So, I am sticking an egg on at 6pm and levelling up with Flowerpearl99, Perkypoppy and Lulujosegeds. Hopefully you might see this if you want to stick an egg on too.

@rockmaiden we are 1 day away from becoming best friends, I wont open your gift just in case you want to coordinegg

I'm StephVanjie on the app.

Just noticed that flaubertiste is about to level up to Ultra Friends with a few people, @ffgghux, @midsey1115, @pikachu258779 , @WurzelPerry . Please go ahead and open gifts at your convenience, I am not fussed about co ordinegging on this account.

Actually, the same applies for debstonmon and Debstonmon2. If you notice that we are close to levelling up, just let me know so I can send you a gift and avoid accidentally triggering!

'Gaudium5' is about to go ultra with Kathwithcats, let me know if you want to arrange a time for me to open the gift.

I'm more active on the Discord than this thread now, so co-ordinegging on there ould be even easier. It's worth the faff of joining.

I got lucky with shinies today. Caught a shiny shadow Koffing from Jesse and James and a wild shiny Chansey. I'm well chuffed about the latter.

Ooh, @DoctorTwo - I would love a shiny Chansey! I saw a picture of one recently and thought it was very cool. Even its mouth is green! Someone on that Reddit thread was saying not to evolve as Shiny Blissey is a bit disappointing.
You should come on the Discord and post on Check Out My Mon!

Ready (or almost ready!) to go ultra friends with:

TeamTplusG: SteffiJune, JazzyJazzman123, GinLiker456, ffgghux, Grebothecat, Abigail192837 (4 more days).

TeamGplusT: Grebothecat, JazzyJazzman123, Leonora240, Pokeboys8000 (3 more days).

I'm doing an egg on Friday at 6pm already, would that work for any of you? If you're level 40 and don't mind about the XP, could you send me a gift so I can trigger? Much appreciated!!

@bellabelly The shiney chancey/blissy are a nasty colour.

@TheMShip I don't have you, could I have your trainer numbers please?

@DoctorTwo Do I have you? Kathwithcats etc.

@SoulofanAggron, I've just checked my Friends list and that name doesn't appear.

I'm Gaudium5. Sorry, only just spotted this. I am on Discord, but keep forgetting to look there.

I would just go ahead and open/send a gift when ever you like - i usually only bother putting an egg on for Best Friends

Is ragingduckface on here? We are due to go best friends next time we open a gift, in case you want to coordinegg.

I’m baffled by this mega evolve thing, and I now have it as a task on the timed research. As far as I can tell it uses a scarce resource and it’s only temporary so I should do it carefully but I don’t really have a clue.
Could anyone please give me an idiot’s guide to what I should be doing to tick off the research without wasting resources?

Have you been doing the mega raids, @KevinAndHerKits? You win Mega candies from the mega raids for Pidgeot, Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur. When you have enough, you can Mega Evolve your own. Costs 200 Mega candies the first time but only 20 after that. (So long as you use the exact same Pokémon!) There's also been lots of tasks to win Mega candies to Mega Evolve a Beedrill. At the moment, Mega Evolve lasts for twelve hours, rather than just four, so it's a good time to try it out.
