Pokemon Go

[Saffy]

This is the only bit of gloating I can do btw as the rest of my pokémon are a bit pants.

I've had like three omanytes, my first ten k egg was a lapras

you can have my shitmonlee

 

[Glitter]

I'm in two gyms and I've been in one for three days now!!

Hatched a load of stuff yesterday, evolved a couple of things and hatched another exeggcute which meant I could evolve an exeggcutor

 

[Fingers]

Dulwich park is infested with omanyte picked up about eight today and six yesterday

My Vaperon had been in the local gym for eight hours now

 

[trashpony]

We have 101 pokemon now! Caught a Grimer at the bottom of our road (now back now) and hatched a Growlithe so that we could evolve an Arcanine.

Very chuffed. And lots of really cool things on the nearby list too (I think it's rubbish but it does tell you what's going to spawn)

Just discovered the huge amount to of pidgey and rattata candy I have collected can evolve them, transfer them off and gain 500xp a go. Should speed through level 18 and part of 19

If you have a magic egg throw it down and then evolve them. Best use of it.

This is what I did to get through level 17!

Hatched a CP960 Tangela from a 5k egg today. Happy with that. Makes up for the CP200 Drowsy the day before

 

[Fingers]

Earned my first ten coins so he must have been in there 20 hours. Woke up this morning to find him fainted and those blue Bastards have taken over.

To earn coins you have to claim them, by going to the shop and pressing the shield button in the top right - you'll get 10 coins and 500 dust for every gym you are in at that point in time, then have to wait 21hrs to claim again. You don't get them automatically and you don't get any extra bonus for being there 21hrs, just that you don't have to retake the gym.

Ah in that case he did not make 21 hours then :-(

So currently the candidate I have is

Pidgey 237. Can be evolved twice so 2000xp a pop with happy egg total 40000xp

Rattatta 397 33000xp
Spearow 241 20000xp
Can both be evolved once so 1000xp with happy egg.


So roughly 93k xp I was sitting on!

I think you've got those sums wrong.
500xp per evolution or 1,000xp with a lucky egg, unless you've not yet evolved them in which case you get another 500xp (or 1,000xp) for getting a new pokemon.
I dunno where the 40,000xp or 33,000xp or 20,000xp numbers have come from, unless you are saying you have 40 pidgeys, 33 rats and 20 spearows - I've seen someone somewhere talking about 60 evolutions max due to the time it takes for the evolution animation to play I guess so you won't be able to evolve all of them even if you do actually have that many and that many candies.

If you want to rush XP with evolutions, you need to evolve as many pidgeys into pidgeottoes as possible, not do the second evolution as this costs 50 candy instead of 12. Save up pidgies until you have a load of them and candies then evolve and transfer them all until you run out of them/time with your lucky egg.

 

[Gromit]

Pidgey Cost 12 candies to evolve but the next evolution costs 50 candies.

So it's better to evolve 5 Pidgey (60 candies) for 2.5k (5K with lucky egg) than 1 Pidgey and 1 Pigeotto which only equals 1k (62 candies).

Had a great time in wales playing pokemon with my little brother. Added 3 new pokemon. Found a diglet and evolved a jigglypuff into a wigglytuff. And the 10k egg I got in Llandudno hatched a onix.

Think its awesome how different pokemon live in different areas. Found machops in Llandudno and loads of eevees and Mr mimes and nidorans in conwy castle.

I think eggs are linked to the area too, the 10k eggs I have found near mine have been 80% magmars. Got 4 of them. But trips to other places have got me an aerodactyl, the onix and a kabuto.

We found a level 8 gym last night so we went out to level it up at 1 in the morning. Me and my brother have both got pokemon on now, its level ten so hopefully they will be there a while and my 2050 snorlax is king of the gym!!

I just evolved an eevee that I'd renamed Pyro and it's evolved into a vaporeon I closed and restarted the app as well. I wonder if this means the name change trick doesn't work anymore? I've already got two vaporeons, I wanted a better flareon

It only works once for each of the three, then it goes random (so i read somewhere)

One of my monsters is still in Cornwall but the other got kicked out

At least my top monster is back

We went to cannon hill park this morning and caught one machop. Bah.

 

[BigTom]

I hope you left before it started raining heavily and didn't get soaked as well.

Yeah, about that

Sorry bees at least we know all our waterproof coats are

 

[Fingers]

My vaporeon is currently occupying Herne Hill station whilst I have a pint across the road

 

[Fingers]

Got kicked out of the the gym by a fucking slowbro ffs. Anyway battered it and took it back. First gym win. Never noticed if I got xp for it

 

[BigTom]

Finally got a Charmander, hatched from an egg rather than caught but at least it's there now.

omg I neeeeed this

you lucky cunt

 

[Grace Johnson]

The new update looks awesome

You will be able to have a pokemon as your mate and they will wander around with you and will earn you candies which is great because I have some evolutions to do from eggs I have hatched and never seen in the wild.

Niantic reveals Buddy Pokemon are coming in the next Pokemon Go update

 

[spanglechick]

Just hatched an eevee from a 10k egg, but it did allow me to facilitate my final version of the eevee evolution.

 

[Fingers]

Boom. Level 20 and new goodies to play with

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

So, working in Leeds.
