Routine Sparkles Pokémon Go

[ISaySteadyOn]

New thread. No routes where I am. We're going to be at Pokémon Go Fest on 6 August. V excited.

If it’s a legendary you might want to use rare candy to help power it up.

If you have some walking planned it can be worth using a puffin on your buddy as it halves the distance for a candy.

Definitely worth berry dumping in gyms.

And definitely wait for a good larvesta to power up.

When there’s a community day or you’re catching something more rare use a pinap berry to double the candy you get for catching. Silver pinap gives that too.

I didn't think it was. I just think it's amazing you got 4.

I am rather enjoying this return to Kanto bit. Now if only they would put a Tauros in it.

I have wasted loads of pineap berries on zorua when I've thought I was catching whatever I had as my buddy, then on the rare occasions it's the real thing I don't use a berry as I'm expecting another zorua!

I’ve got 6 and an evolved 98% volcarona. So technically 7. I hatch a lot of eggs. I prioritise purchasing incubators and manage to ‘walk’ while stuck in slow traffic and the 20mph zones around the office. I can’t actually walk very far in reality due to mobility issues 😂

@ISaySteadyOn how desperate are you for a tauros? I have 21 and ds has 26 so plenty to spare if you were prepared to head my way. Depends how much you want one I guess…?
Actually ds will be in London this weekend but he doesn’t really play any more and probably wouldn’t be impressed or compelled to seek you out for a trade even if I suggested it. However I will be dropping him at the station if you fancied a trip to the end of the Elizabeth line beyond zone 9…

I wish I could but DH is away this weekend and I have to look after the kids. Otherwise, I totally would. I really like riding to the end of lines. Plus riding to the end of the line to meet another PoGo player would be especially awesome.

I wonder how many of us got into it for our DC and they lost interest but we didn't.

That would be me. I did manage to get him back to the game as an occasional player. He has the knowledge and my friend and I have the big beasts so between the three of us we make the basis of a raid team. I stopped playing for three years due to various bereavements but it gets me walking so I try to play every day.

That would be me too. 2nd child has popped up occasionally in game recently but not so far as coming on a raid with DH and me, parents are soooo embarrassing.

I'm the weird player who wanted to relive my childhood. My brother and I had the original GameBoy games. His was red and mine was yellow and as teens we had our parents drive us 80 miles to a special event where we queued up for ages and they installed Mew on our games. 😁

My DC did play some of the later games and joined PoGo with me at first but both have since lost interest so I understand that side of things, but it was me pushing them to play it with me. 🙈🤣

This is definitely me too, would love it if DS would do raids and parties with me a bit more frequently!

With new attacks and using charged TMs, what order do you do things in? Do you get a new attack and see if it's useful first, or make sure they've already got the best attack and then teach them a second one?

Unless I want to use it in the meantime, may as well wait and see if either of the two you get is one you want to keep. On the other hand if you play a bit of battle league, charged TM's aren't exactly a scarce resource...

Only thing is not to accidentally take off an special event/elite charged TM attack that you're going to want to put on again later. I'm keeping roar of time on my good dialga even though it's currently of limited use that way as I think it's not available to TM.

If you've got 2 attacks already does it let you choose which one to get rid of when you use the TM?

I've been storing up charged TMs for the next event where you can use them on shadow Pokémon, so have got quite a few, but also quite a few shadows to use them on! Is there any benefit to keeping frustration and adding a second attack, or am I better off just waiting?

I'm still at a stage where I never quite have enough stardust for what I want to do. I'm trying to win in battle league to get more stardust, but then having to use loads to get Pokémon that can win in battle league.

Yes, you can choose which attack to switch if you have two.

I've not tried battling with Frustration, i've always waited for an event to switch it like you say. There may be circumstances where it's actually useful? Maybe on a normal type so it's got attack bonus. Or if it's lower energy than any of a pokemon's normal attacks, so you can use it to try to tempt out shields.

The stardust situation balances out eventually, once you have your main teams powered up to the level where candy is the problem. Particularly ML which is expensive in stardust.

Hello fellow Pokemon go players! Currently obsessed after not playing for a little while. For one of the tasks I need to make a new friend but I don’t know anyone else IRL who plays.. would anyone be happy to help me knock this one off the list please?

I'm looking for friends for the send gifts tasks

@SuperLoudPoppingAction popped you a request through and I’ve got more gifts than I know what to do with so happy to help!

@SuperLoudPoppingAction , DD2 looking for friends for a task too. Will get her to add you because I think we are already friends 🙂.

Anybody tried the daily ticket thing yet?

My code is 921803170519

Don't think I know anything about daily tickets!

@SneakyGremlin
We're ready to level up on both my accounts (MoorC...E.A.. & Gaudium5).

I'm planning to put an Egg on at 2pm tomorrow (Sunday/Community Day). Would you be happy if I opened your gifts then?

Thanks

That works for me! I've been moving house this weekend and I'm a bit all over the place so feel free to open whenever!

Thank you

@SuperLoudPoppingAction , DD2 and I have just added you (KatKitten324 and GalarianPony920

@SuperLoudPoppingAction - have sent friend request

This may be a total coincidence but DH and I were just out with our daily incense on and we both had one of the legendary birds show up! DH only put his on after I had seen it and it spawned for him too
Neither of us were successful unfortunately 😭😂 seems too much of a coincidence for us both to see it..
