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.

That's a fantastic way round it! I'm terrible at making good throws on demand- thanks .

Thanks for all the adds. x Please keep 'em coming- happy to add anyone 9074 4040 1506 (to save people trawling back through the thread.)

I have had a good day. Loads of excellent throws plus I hatched a 4 star Jangmo-o which was nice .

I cannot find a Zygarde cell for the life of me. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. They are really hard to find. If you walk along a route and you see a sparkle like when PoGo has a glitch and all the Pokémon look like balls of light, that's a cell. Basically, tap on anything sparkly.

Cornishgem, DH found his first this week - keep looking! Are you noticing the route-special Pokémon spawns? The Pokémon are directly on the route, the cells off to one side or other so keep looking around. On my very short routes I usually spot a route spawn or a cell but rarely both, and often near the end of my route. (It may be there is a higher number and I'm just missing a lot tho!)

I'm happy that someone has created a route that's nearly the same as the one I had stuck in limbo. Can I cancel mine from the approval queue somehow?

Yay for jangmo-o steadyon👏

@thirdfiddle Ooh are you in Cornwall? I've played PoGo in Tintagel/Boscastle etc and Bude/Widemouth bay on hols.

Don't cancel your route- who knows, there might end up being two.

Not me porridge, cornishgem1975 posted a couple of entries up thread. You're making me want to go to cornwall now though :)

Hmm I'm struggling to find routes so can't do them often but I guess I'll keep trying!

Where are you approximately based @CornishGem1975 ? So jealous.

@thirdfiddle I must've been half asleep lol, when you said 'Cornishgem, DH' I read it as meaning like 'Cornishgem (DH)'

Oh lol, I can see how that could be misleading! Lovely as I'm sure cornishgem is, no, DH is not a mumsnetter. Yet, anyway... I managed to infect him with pogo, perhaps MN is next😈

Just completed the excellent throws!

Still only on one raid. I'm out tomorrow for my Covid and flu jags so hopefully the weather is nicer than today so I can go out playing for a bit.

I also have a brand new phone so I can play for more than a couple of hours at a time which is going to make all the difference to me too.

Damn, I still have 83 to go. Although in fairness I just assumed it would be too hard and didn't put much effort into it. I'm setting myself a target of 2 a day to get there and 1 raid a day as well.

But I need to start focussing on my field researches. I deleted several I knew I wouldn't do, and am spending a bit of time making sure I do them.

@Tarkan , how are you for remote raid passes? I am managing to do a daily raid so I could always invite you if that would help?

And well done on the excellent throws!

No remote passes and can't really afford to buy any. I might manage one here or there in the time that's left but I don't really want to spend the money if I can avoid it.

Thank you for the offer though. I might focus on getting some solo raids for now and building up my coins so if I only need a couple by the end of the research I can get some remotes then. 🤞

Understood. I wish Niantic hadn't upped the costs on remote raid passes.

Same! I used to buy them regularly before, I didn't mind 79p here and there. But since the cost has gone up I think I've only bought two in total and mostly from saved coins which tbh I would prefer to spend on incubators nowadays.

@SockQueen I think we are 1 day from Ultra, are you happy for me to open at the start of Comm Day?

@RosiePerissa yes, planning to do similar for a few gifts myself!

Drowzee is nice and easy for people still needing excellent throws, btw. Decent sized circle, not too near or far, no annoying protruding bits (as in weedle's horn) and doesn't move too much or attack too often. Gothita has a big circle but I find it difficult to hit the middle of it, as it's so near.

Well I went out today and not a single raid. They all popped up after I went home. I felt a bit dizzy after my jags or I would have headed back into town to get some. I'll try tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling as I don't have any appointments so I can just go where I see a raid.

And slowpoke too.

Giraffarig too. Or at least that's the one I have been doing well on. It's also adorable.

What does everyone think about showcases? I like the extra stardust I get.

Showcases - since i found some suitably obscure pokestops and got a couple of 1st places - I'm giving it a go. I got things like star pieces and lures, which is well worth the trouble of hanging onto the odd XXL.
