Pokémon Go - Just in the Nicket of time

[Wurz]

Oops we Diglett again! It's the rolling Mumsnet Pokémon Go thread

Bring your trainer codes, shinies and terrible puns

Hi! Just checking in as I am rubbish at remembering to find the thread!

Thanks for the new thread

Three shinies yesterday.

How did you guys do ?

I was visiting my parents and barely anything spawns around them so I managed one shiny. Better than none at least!

Thanks, Wurz.

DS2 and I got a shiny each and one spare. I enjoyed the bonuses for catching my hundo Mewtwo and a stack of impidimp from the other week.

Took advantage of Magikarp, today, and managed 9 or 10 max battles for my next level requirements!

I have to admit I found the dynamax magikarp pretty comical.

I've been stuck on the max battle requirements for ages. I'm just rather uninspired by the task.
Got a few big fish for the medal so today was a bonus

DS2 got a shiny. Glad of the sparkles because you can't tell when it's all maxed and Ready Brekked.

Hi all, have just got into Pokémon Go with my kids so was delighted to find this/these threads. Found some old codes and asked some people to be friends, hope that’s okay, but if anyone wants a new friend my code is 3096 3894 1347.

ikm not very good yet but am getting better and learning all the time!

Have sent you a friend request. My PoGo name begins with G.

I started out playing with my DS. He lost interest and I didn't so be warned. It can be quite addictive. OTOH, it's how I force myself out of the house in winter 🙂.

Have just added you to mine and my son's account @Doireallywanttodothis as needs a few friends! Need to add a few more too.

(Name changed because my son is 6 and I dunno, don't want my old account being linked to him in anyway!)

My code is 5465 3718 9553 if anyone wants to add me. My DS's is 0893 6338 7814.

Question - do you routinely delete friends after a while if they never open gifts? I've got a ton of friends, stuck one only 1-2 hearts who haven't opened my gifts. Should I just ditch them off?

Friends please! Have added everyone who has posted already. 3089 6092 1578

I enjoyed Nickit community day a lot, still feels like a relatively new addition to the game and I always like new shinies.

@PokemonNo is your code correct? Tried to add you but it said no trainer of that code.

Gee whiz. I need glasses.

Hello,

Very old player here, looking for new friends to be able to complete research tasks.

code is : 655983450533

Also, any tips on how to do great throws in a row? I’m trying to move on the Zygarde research where you have to do 5 in a row and I just suck at it

Did you guys know what some of the data you agreed to provide through Pokémon GO’s T&Cs has actually been used for? Location, mapping and AR scan data contributed to training Niantic’s geospatial AI-technology that is now being developed for GPS
free navigation, including potential military and drone applications.

I nickname inactive players with the date then chop after a few months of inactivity.

Can always add them back if they come back to the game

Go for something big that doesn't move much like Mr Mime or Stonjourner

Or mildly cheat using aeroplane mode 😆

Added all the new codes on here - hi!

I'll be sending Continental for a week or so from tomorrow. I appreciate this isn't very exciting but some of you might be in need of a shiny.

He did well. Chances of a shiny is 1 in 512

This is a great idea!!

Hi all - please to find this thread!

I’ve been playing since July 2016 but always looking for new friends <3

I do the same as wurz though my patience is longer with higher game or friend level players as, IME, they're more likely to return. I had one come back and open the gift that made us best friends, at the weekend, after he was inactive for about 2 years.

WurzelPerry - putting my code again in case

There's also WurzelCider 384409532886 which is less active but you're welcome to add it if you don't mind the slower pace of life 😆
