Pokemon Go

New monsters! This week!

 

[mrsfran]

At last! I finally gave up playing last month.

 

[Oriole]

About time.

 

[BigTom]

Well they are here and I've got so close to being totally sucked back in, but wtf are they thinking with special items (which you get from Pokestops) needed to evolve some of the gen 1 to 2 evolutions? Presumably some of the gen 2 pokemon too, I don't need another luck barrier getting in my way, there's already enough just to get the pokemon in the first place.

I'm still off out for a walk in a minute obviously, shadows on the radar...

 

[BigTom]

Also notice pokemon all have gender now so breeding soon presumably.

 

[trashpony]

I've been wanting these for ages!

My assistant tells me this is what you have to name your eevee to get an espeon. Call it tamao to get an umbreon.

 

[aqua]

I may have quite a few now

Thanks for the names trashy

Do you need special items or do they just evolve like the original three eevee options?

eevee's evolve like normal, 25 candies and the name

 

[spanglechick]

Well. I loaded up the update to evolve my espion and umbreon, and while I was doing that, caught me a hoothoot (too effing cute!) and a spinarak! All without leaving my bed.

 

[aqua]

I predict pickle will promptly fall in love with the wooper though nothing will replace her affection for the jigglypuff

 

[spanglechick]

Ooh, there's a third stage evolution for fuckbats. Is that a new thing? I might start catching them again...

yep the crobat - there's a few first gen monsters that now have evolves (syther, chansey) and some that now have additional evolves like crobat, bellossom. Some (like bellossom) need evolve items and I haven't a clue where we get those yet (trashpony can you task the foal with finding out please )

newspaper article I googled this morning said you get them from pokestops which is the only thing that makes sense, they aren't in the shop. The only other thing I can think is that you get one when you catch eg Porygon or Onyx (one of the pokemon that need the special item to evolve). I've spun loads of stops this morning and lunchtime and not got a special item so either they are rarer than eggs or don't come from pokestops.

that's just it though isn't it, nothing I've read has someone who has found one yet - so yeah either as rare as anything, or they're not live in the game yet?

I can't believe they aren't live in the game yet but then I can't believe they've got them in at all if they aren't going to be reasonably common.

 

[strung out]

I got a Kings Stone from a Pokestop this morning (7 day streak) and used it to evolve a Slowpoke into a Slowking

 

[aqua]

well doesn't that look like a massive dickhead of a monster

 

[BigTom]

maybe that's it then, you only get them on 7 day streaks. I just evolved an oddish to gloom and didn't get the item needed for that so not coming from gettnig the pokemon.

 

[pengaleng]

I have got a siiiiick 100% Crobat with air slash and air cutter

 

[Oriole]

Met a crowbat in a gym and it was rather hard to beat.
What's the difference between the rasberries and the bananas?

 

[aqua]

They all do different things, make it easier to catch, calm them down and something else. It tells you in your items list

 

[BigTom]

the third one (the pineapple one) gives you extra candies (2 more from the dratini I caught with it this morning). You can only use one at a time though.

 

[pengaleng]

I FINALLY HATCHED TOGEPI!!!!!!!

I caught so much mad shit today i got a weird fuckin giraffe thing and a manta ray thing

 

[Oriole]

the swinub and sentret seem to be the rattatas and pidgeys of the johto pokemon world absolutely everywhere.

 

[Oriole]

One of the new evolves which doesn't require a special item

 

[BigTom]

One of the new evolves which doesn't require a special item

and is well hard in a gym - difficult to beat without timing out, if you are on your own anyway, teaming up should make anything easy.

I got the special item needed for the Kingdra evolution from my seven day bonus pokestop this morning so it does look like that's where they come from. I hope they are intelligent and give you what you need rather than being completely random but I bet they are just random.

 

[Glitter]

Looks like I have a special item I can't use yet. Fml

 

[BigTom]

I got a kingstone from a random pokestop spin last night. Nothing special about it at all, not even a 10 in a row stop. idk if that means they've changed how they work or was a glitch or what.

 

[Fingers]

I got a kingstone and a dragonscale randomly as well.
