Yeah I got one randomly too
Pokemon Go
- Thread starter bi0boy
- Start date
Used one of the special items to evolve a porygon.
I have a scale but not enough horsea candy yet to use it and a King's rock but I only one of them not sure if I should use it on a slowpoke or a poliwhirl first (I'll probably have enough candy for the latter first).
So far got them on radom spins.

I still need hitmonchan from gen1. More or less stopped playing now though, still waking up and claiming my daily spin/catch bonuses and coins from some gyms I'm still in, and still walking eggs when I go to get lunch from work but have had my enthusiasm for gen 2 drained away by the lack of special items needed to evolve the gen 1 pokemon, I've only had two and I just cba with that level of raw luck. Once the gyms I'm in go I doubt I'll keep playing, probably pick it up again when gen 3 gets released but idk.
Went to take over a nearby gym and it's one which is usually pretty fussy about how close you have to stand to it. Anyway, there was nobody else there and I took it down and I went to put a beastie in and someone else from a different team had put 2 in already.
I thought that they'd put something in the code so that the person who took the gym down is the only one who can put something in for a short while. Also there was literally nobody else there so how did they a) put their beasties in and b) when I tried to boot them out again so I could get my sodding coin, how did they defend (got nowhere at all)?
I'm assuming some kind of cheating which did put me off the gym battling (that and the number of gyms around with 9x 3000+cp)
Otherwise, still no snorlax but only 61km away from the gold jogger badge.

yup I've given up playing fairly as its next to impossible otherwise.
I've got it down to an art form and could probably start a 'pokemon to order service'! Using a gps spoof and a map like LondonPogoMap.com - Real-time Pokémon Go map for London there isn't anything you cant get or do. What's sad is there's no point playing without cheating because the cheating is so prominent it's destroyed the game. It really is a case of cheat or give up now...
I am still annoyed they didn't have the courtesy to let me get a coin before knocking me off. It just seems, unnecessarily rude.
that too. Mind you I'm having one of those days where going outside seems a tall order and I am tempted to look up how the spoofing works just to get my 1 pokemon and 1 stop spin for the day but if I do that it will be a slippery slope and I probably will stay indoors all week-end.

hatched this yesterday, I mean what is the point of that. I got excited thinking it was going to be like a Lapras 
bug types generally are crap aren't they, pinsir is ok but that's it. Imo they should have made forretress a Snorlax type defender, it looked great, perfect for the role and there should be more variety in gyms. Gen 2 has added blissey and tyranitar as gym usuals I guess.Spoofing gps for gyms seems well off to me, as you are cheating other players, doing it to catch pokemon not so much, as you're only cheating yourself /teacher
. I won't look it up myself as I know that if I do it once I'll keep deciding that I'm justified to use it to catch a missing pokemon.Still no more special items for evolutions, but I did hatch a gen 2 pokemon which needs one (sunkern) so that's shit, fucking niantic.

See I can access Pokestops from our sofa and also my desk at work though that's less reliable now I have a new job. I wouldn't have played at all if I had to leave the house everyday to play

I think the etiquette, so far as I've seen, is "the more the merrier". The legendaries generally need 10+ players to take them down, unless said players are really well-equipped. I'm 0 for 3 in catching them, so far.

just fyi, Legendary birds available over the next 3 weeks:
Blog - Niantic
Have seen reports of 5/6 high level players taking down Articuno but 10+ I think is needed normally (and 13 or 14+ for lugia), Callie if you see a group just go and say hi and join in, as Chz says, etiquette is more the merrier.
I got lucky on Monday and caught both Articuno and Lugia after just 2 raids on each
Blog - Niantic
- Articuno (Team Mystic) released on Saturday, July 22 and available through Monday, July 31.

I've not seen anyone fighting to join in yet
I have now got 214 in my pokedex, with just 34 left to complete. Given some aren't in the game yet, plus the ones locked to specific regions (both gen1 & gen2) I'm quite pleased
There's loads of people around in the city centre every day at the moment, and there's a group in Sutton as well - if you want I can send you an invite to the Discord group? (Discord is a chat room application), there's also a facebook pokemon go raids group but I'm not on FB.

I'll be around in the city centre on Saturday probably, and Cannon Hill Park on Sunday, if you want to meet up to play definitely
I can come up to Sutton if you like but I think there's loads more gyms/raids/people in Birmingham. If not this weekend, another time, let me know

I work in Sutton
As long as the group has enough people it doesn't matter - up to 20 people so if you had that many I reckon everyone could be level 25 or less. Shite monsters are ok as long as you can choose the ones with the right type attacks:
Lugia is Psychic and Flying so pokemon with Rock, Ice, electric, dark or ghost -eg: Gengar, Tyranitar, Golem, jolteon
Articuno is ice and flying so pokemon with Rock, electric or fire - especially rock as that's super efefctive against both ice and flying so double damage. eg: Golem, jolteon, tyranitar, flareon, charizard, arcanine.
Don't let pogo autoselect chansey, blissey, snorlax or fucking wobuffet as none of them do much damage attacking. Snorlax might be ok but you've probably got better.
Remember that you can rejoin a raid after your first team have fainted so it doesn't matter if you get all knocked out, just jump back in - you lose bonus balls for the damage you did with the first team but it can make the difference between winning or losing the raid, so it's better than putting in a Blissey at the end to make sure you last till the end of the fight.
If you want an invite to the discord which has a channel for sutton raids, let me know (just to check, I'm talking about Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham, not Sutton London).
