Pokemon GO (mobile) Video Game • Page 274

Seen a few Totodile and even a squirtle or two. I just went downtown to the river walk and hardly anything popped up at all. Usually it's a hotbed, even if it is just trash. But like 10 Pokémon popped up the whole time. Even with an incense

 

Really happy I hatched a Pineco today.

 

200/210

 

Was in Boston last night and got a sun stone on my first spin in the city (not a 7 day spin), so I have a Bellossom to show for that trip at least

 

Seen 1 Totodile this whole event. Once again the starter evolutions will likely be the last ones I get for this gen.

 

We are all wearing hats

Also, got a dragon scale. Thought I had enough candy but forgot I had just evolved another horsea so I need 50 more.

 

my 10K was a Mareep! With 30 candies. Woop woop!

Also never seen a snubble or houndoor ^^

 

Until this event that is all I ever see. I'd pay $500 to never have to see another one of them.

 

I've only seen Snubble and Houndour at nests so far.

 

Never seen Mareep.

Got a strong Azumarill today, and a Dragon Scale.



Got a 98% IV Seadra to evolve when I have enough candy for Kingdra.

 

Evolved my 1398 Scyther expecting a fat Scizor, and it ended up 1570. So I'm a little upset by that.

 

Got a Forretress now after another Pineco hatch, putting me at 209/209. I'm verrrry slowly progressing! Also tried to take down the gym next to me but only managed to take it from level 9 to level 7 before running out of max revives. I knocked a Blissey out of that gym the day before but then had to go through a Rhydon, Vaporeon then 5 Gyarados in a row to get to a 3100+cp Dragonite at the end - how in the FUCK am I suppose to defeat all those!

 

I'm so out of the loop with Gen 2, I don't even know what the really rare ones are. I have a popular little park close to my house so I can always see what's over there. There's been a Mareep, Wobbuffet, Jumpluff, and Stantler silhouettes over there but I'm way too lazy to go get them.

 

Gyms are so broken right now. I don't even bother anymore unless a spot is open for me to collect coins and Stardust. Most gyms in my town are nothing but Blissey, Snorlax, Dragonite, all 2700CP or higher. It's redonk.

 

...
Bro you need to go get a Mareep whenever they come up, surely?! Def one of the rarest right now!

I fought 1 Blissey and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do on this game. It took out 5 of my 6 pokemon I swear; I have no idea what works best against them! Nor Snorlax or Dragonite come to think of it, but "luckily" it is mostly Gyarados that are put in gyms near me.

 

Haha. I would, but man I just want to get Gen 1 over with so I can be done with this damn thing. I've put in almost a year's worth into it and still haven't gotten the last three that I need. Just finishing it out of principle now.

I only grabbed one Porygon, Chancey, and Onix before Gen 2... No way am I going to be able to evolve them without sinking many more months into hatching eggs. No desire to try that.

 

Fair play - I've enjoyed gen.2 almost as much as gen.1 tbh; I like going for the rares and I'm literally just opening the app when I'm walking anyway so it doesn't really eat up any of my time at all!

 

I have caught enough Magikarp in this event so far to have 567 candies and no shiny yet; I started with about 150. Maybe complaining here will help change my luck...

 

I liked the introduction of Gen 2 because it gave me more to do while I chipped away at the remaining Gen 1 guys haha. But yeah, it doesn't necessarily take up any time anymore because I'm literally just walking with it now, but what did take up all my time was trying to drive around town to the spawn points and nests when they would pop up.

Out of all of the 10ks from Gen 1, I've only hatched Hitmonlee and a Dratini. All of the rest have been repeats of things that I have a billion of. I got Chancey, Onix, Lapras, Omastar, Kabutops, Snorlax, etc. from researching where to go or just getting lucky catches. Haven't been able to rely on hatches and I'm down to the final three. haha. No way do I have the time to do that again.

 

I can't believe I may actually get a Gyarados out of this

 

Once I get a shiny I can evolve up to my second Gyrados

 

Are the shiny karp only for the event or will they stick around?

 

They will probably stay but there will be way less Karp so it will be rarer. I feel like I've caught so many but I'm still like 230 short of a second gyarados.

 

I figured as much. I have OCD and want to make sure I get not only every pokemon in the dex, but the different variants as well. I've caught a ton during the event, but still haven't seen a shiny one yet.

Also, I can't seem to find the answer to this, but does the magikarp look different when it's on the screen or is like ditto and you don't know it's "shiny" until after you've caught it?

 

I haven't found any shiny Karp. I live on the beach as well.
