Pokemon Go

[fractionMan]

10 days in the USA now and still no Tauros... I just spent the last hour trekking up and down Hollywood Boulevard, and even had one in my sights for 15 minutes, but couldn't find it

I found one in the park opposite the whitehouse!

(which is nowhere near LA. Sorry)

my third gengar was the same old shit WHYYYYY DARK MOVES???? what a CUNT.

I hatched another lickitung tho thats better than the last

my two rapidash are called Molotov and Arson poliwrath is DoubleFist

 

[pengaleng]

from today until nov 1st pokemon go is doing halloween things

double candy and reduced buddy walking distances

 

[aqua]

I've racked up about 10,000xp so far today, caught 2 new monsters and got enough candy to go on an evolving session later too This boost came just at the right time for me

 

[trashpony]

So far our trip to New York has given us 3 new additions to the pokedex (2 tauros, a porygon and 3 pinsir) and 4 dragonites.

Still got monsters on 2 gyms at home. Should make level 25 today

 

[aqua]

I'd become level 26 last week to annoy bees who hasn't been playing as much

4 dragonites! I've still not seen one (except in gyms). Got over 100 dratini candies today though thanks to the halloween bonus but am going to try to get up to 125 to evolve a decent dratini rather than the shite dragonair I caught early on. The double candy bonus makes this much more achievable as there is now a dratini nest near work I can go past on my way in/home and during lunch but still I'm envious.

 

[trashpony]

Dratinis, not dragonites! Sorry - was very early

You'll probably get your dragonite before I get one!

my workplace has become awash with meowths and cubones today about 20 of each

same here with cubones - all over town. I would have said it's the halloween thing but that is supposedly only psychic and ghost pokemon, but the rate they are appearing I reckon they've been included as well (And with the skull mask it'd make sense). Meowths though doesn't fit at all.

 

[spanglechick]

Yeah, I scored two cub one earlier.

On another topic, why are there now pink and blue dots when you first go to catch a monster, at the top of the screen, for the first few seconds? On some critters it's a single yellow dot instead.

Think it's the buff to the capture rate. If you go to your character screen it's got all the types listed and you get a catch bonus for that type of pokemon depending on how many you've caught.

 

[ddraig]

loads of cubones in Cardiff today too
and another i'd never seen

Buff?

 

[BigTom]

Buff?

increase.
You get a + bonus to the % chance to catch, don't know what as just says bonus 1, 2 or 3 in the medal screen but not what that actually means. Not had anywhere near as many pidgeys/rats escape since that change though.

 

[pengaleng]

I went to therapy today and I caught a 95% perfect CHARMANDEM

gonna evolve the FOURTH gengar on halloween > if that doesnt give me a good move set then nothing will - I hatched a 95% gastly the other day

got marowak newly registered to pokedex

still on level 27

am on 109 dratini candy

meowths are cats which are commonly associated with halloween, it's pretty simple lol

not in my head it would seem! didn't think of witches cats, they should have changed the graphics and made them black cats for the special.

 

[trashpony]

NYC is stuffed with cubones, ghastlies, meowths and drowsees. Seen pretty much nothing else today. The double candy bonus is great though

 

[ddraig]

Hatched a 1700+ lapras from a 10k egg hurrah!
Loads of ghastly about and a few haunters

 

[ddraig]

And loads of meowths and drowzees too

 

[hegley]

The double candy bonus is great though

I was getting a bit bored of the game so had given up for a while but this halloween thing has got me back. They need to do more of this type of stuff I think, if they want people to keep playing.

 

[pengaleng]

got two 10k eggs on atm and 7 5k ones I just put on to cook - hopefully I will get some good shit (once I hatched three poxy krabbys in a row )

I just caught an 82% dratini I'm on 118 candies now for my dragonite

I CAUGHT a gengar this morning I wish I never bothered - he's shit and used loads of me baals

 

[BigTom]

Finally 91% iv too and apparently that's the best moveset

Halloween special has been great, walking a kabuto to take advantage of the shorter distance, I'm up to 40 candies now so I'll get that and hopefully a muk before this ends, at which point I'm done, needing hitmonchan, chansey and tangela.

I'll keep an eye out for other specials though as the legendary ones will appear in those iirc niantic have said, I'm wondering if at midnight on new years they'll reset all the gyms and put legendaries in them which you get by defeating them in the gym.

And then generation 2, next spring I reckon.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I have a Tangela, as well as three Hitmonchan

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

5 new ones in the last 2 days. Now level 26, 120 in pokedex.

 

[BigTom]

Where's a fist-shaking emoji when you need one

Where's the trading facility more like...

 

[trashpony]

I have 2 tangelas (honestly!), 3 hitmonlee and 1 hitmonchan. Nearly got enough abra candy to evolve an alakazam. On 130 on the pokedex now. The Halloween thing is great - I might actually get a blastoise now!
