I've gotten two Sun Stones, so I better not get another one. Unfortunately, I only recently evolved my first Vileplume and have yet to see a Sunkern, so they'll be sitting around for a bit. A King's Rock or a Dragon Scale would be great, though.

Got one metal coat or whatever, from the "guaranteed" 7th day spin, before they removed it. Not so lucky with my eggs, though. Sandshrews, psyducks, and tentacool en masse, and gligars from my 10ks. If I didn't already have a wonder which seems to max out at just around 1k cp, it'd be great.

I got one Evo from a 7 day "guarantee" I've visited probably 150-200 stops since then and nada.

I guess some people are just luckier than others

I've gotten 1 upgrade for my 3 Porygon candy and that's it (from 7 day spin).

My eggs have been truly incredible though. I believe since I hatched two Dratini in roughly a week the game is trying to teach me a lesson of sorts.

7x Staryu
4x Natu
1x Growlithe
Edit: 1x Elephant dude
5x other unnotable 1 offs like :psyduck:

No 10ks since mid January (when I got my dratinis)

Now you know why I'm a bitter soul

I got a Sun Stone and a King's Rock early on, but nothing since then, and I'd estimate I hit about 200 stops a week.

I'm actually up to 5 total items, but I spin about 100 stops a day and had a no item streak hit 700ish stops.

Also had hoarded some 10kms which turned out ok but some were pre gen2 I think. Pineco (which I found a day later outside work) and gligar are my only good hatches.

Oddly, found a mareep yesterday in the exact same spot I saw the only Chansey I've ever seen. must be an ultra rare spawn point.

How many evolution items have you guys gotten? Picked up my ninth tonight and not sure if I'm insanely lucky or what. The only two other people I know who still play have gotten one between them 😳

Four (one each of sun stone, dragon scale, upgrade, and metal coat), but that was with a few days at the beginning with stop-heavy routes so in those first 3-4 days I probably spun over 200 stops. Since then I've gotten none and probably spun 100-150.

My luck lately has been crap. I've only had the one evo item from my first seven day streak and 200 stops of nothing. Out of 25 eggs I've had 2 Phanpy, a Gligar and a Pineco and the rest all generation one. I'd already caught a Gligar and Pineco in the wild. My other 10k were a Dratini and two Snorlaxes. I caught one new Pokemon last week and that was a Dunsparce. My daily footstep counter game isn't much fun now.

Jesus christ instant gym stuffer. Lucky man.

I only got an Up-Grade from the short time the guaranteed 7th day spin was around. Nothing since then even if I've been trying to spin more stops. Wish I kept count from my records but I'm fairly certain I've done more than 300 spins and got nothing.

Worthless as far as I can tell. Decent HP, but well below Snorlax and miles away from Chansey/Blissey, and nothing else to really help them except normal types are hard to hurt because fighting sucks. Although the new fighting moves might invalidate that statement, I don't know.

Sometimes people just prestige as much as they can without having as many people with them, to help their team. Though I guess in a busier area than mine the effort wouldn't last very long.

loving Ouch.

I've also had 4, but at least I've only had the one dupe, an extra Dragon Scale.

Is it likely that more pokes will use the same items further down the road? Right now Dragon Scale is only used for Kingdra, but will it be used for a different evolution later? I know there's a couple of items used for multiple evos already.

I'm pretty sure only Gen 2 mons require these evolution items, unfortunately...

Sun Stones are used to evolve a couple Gen 5 mons and a Gen 6 mon. Everything else is Gen 2 only. So eventually you will have further uses for Sun Stones, but it's gonna be a very long wait.

I'm getting a bit sick of this bug where a defender fires a charge move at me at my low health, I dodge, but the game decides to pretend I got hit, displays my poke fainting and being replaced, and then realizes I dodged, withdraws the new guy and puts the actually-still-fine poke back but now he's invisible and I can't see anything to dodge and I don't know my actual health and sometimes I don't appear to be delivering half my attacks and freaking chaos reigns until I actually die.

Nope, I see this all the time. Brand new Pixel XL. Just a lovely bug in the app. I basically effectively think of my pokes as having like 95% of their HP bar as a result and reflexively swap a bit early to make sure I don't have to deal with this. I do get greedy sometimes if they're about to get their charge move and it will finish the current defender though. So that's basically the only time I see it now but it happens every time like you described.

Oh you can bet everyone suffers this stupid poo poo. My phone is Christmas new. You know what the best part is? When you have a charged move saved up but you wanna use it after the defender fires so you wouldn't be stuck in your charge move's animation and they fire off theirs and you can't dodge, but the bug makes the game think you died and the ensuing switching out takes away your charge. So not only do you have to either play until your original Pokemon dies or hurry and switch out a new mon (and then the original back in if you wanna keep using it), you're now down a whole charge move's worth of damage you could've inflicted. This is life or death when you fight a high cp Blissey because then you're probably sure to time out.
