Blissey is gonna be a bitch. At least 1 of my 2 has hyperbeam. Would a Rhydon with fighting moves do better than a basic fighter?

drat, guess I should have waited on my Dragonite! But Dragon Breath/Claw isn't too bad, is it?

Is Larvitar the new Dratini?

Do you need to keep a male and female of each new species for future breeding?

What evolved to sunflora?

And loving instinct has hit all my gyms with 3-4 blissey towers. My revenge is to kick out all the lower Mon and leave the bitches so instinct had a loving hard time putting anyone back in.

So Blissey is apparently pretty broken. All of the gyms around me are level one with nothing but a giant blissey on them. It's impossible to widdle down its HP before the time runs out, so it's impossible to take them down if they're opposing or level up prestige if they're friendly. Cool.

Seems the only way is to gangbang the gym
Has anyone not timed out when battling alone?

Caught my first Totodile yesterday. Why are all the starters such cunts?

Also first sheep, second Larvitar, and the purple bat dude Gilgar. I picked up the giraffe this weekend and was disappointed that it doesn't evolve. I thought the electric giraffe came from this one, not the drat sheep. Never seen a wild sheep before.

Anyone else hoarding candies? I am near an Oddish nest and trying to get 1000 candies. At 1000 for Eeevee too, was happy until I realized you have to walk Eeevee for 10km then evolve at a certain time to get another Espeon.


Also, to the rear end in a top hat kid at the park yesterday, I spent a good 20 minutes powering up that Valor gym, took a break for the bathroom, and you came over, hit the last 600 points needed, and put in a loving Blissey at the bottom. Way to go, idiot! Blissey goes at the top of gyms, and we were at level 8 before you pulled that poo poo stunt.

I did get a king crown. Better for Slowking or the alt Poliwrath toad?

So has any goon here ponied up and bought membership somewhere where there are usually good nests? Somewhere you might go but don't because of distance or just a lack of interest? Me, I am debating about a membership to a pretty good zoo (not the one I used to work at). You can get a flex-pass, so I could take anyone I want with me, for a year. The nests are usually pretty good. And one of those 'use it twice it pays for itself' deals. If I had the membership I'd go more....that said summer is coming and within a few weeks it will be unbearable to be outside.

Anyone else finding Espeon a bitch to prestige against? I've been using Murkrow and Sneazel and it hits like a loving truck (also doesn't help that it seems to lag at the start of a fight more than others, but that might just be my lovely phone). Never even seen a Larvitar or Houndour round here either.

I have a 2400+ Arcanine with Bite and Fireblast, and even a 2100 Espeon can gently caress me up. No idea why it's so loving strong.

Is there any need to collect mass candies for Dunsparce for later generations? There's a nest near me but I have a few of those fuckers already.

Also, 2 metal coat upgrades. Make 2 Scizors, or 1, and 1 Steelix?

drat. Was saving my lucky egg and about 50 mon to evolve for 2x xp. But since I didn't want to buy more space, evolution spree! I got two Alazakams with loving charge fighting moves, a Starmie with a ghost move, another Starmie with a DRAGON move, a Gyarados with two dragon moves, and after using nearly all my bear candy, got a single Ursaring with Hyperbeam. One Ninetails with a dark move, then Solar Beam. And four more Solar Beam Exeggcutors (they have two grass moves).

Had to use two lucky eggs to evolve almost everyone.

Out of my five Charizards, only ONE has two fire moves. Another has fire/dragon. The other three have flying/dragon.

Does Vileplume ever get SolarBeam? Is there a list of the new mon who can get it?

Now am done evolving for a while, until I build up about 30 more Pidgeys. I always feel a bit sad after a spree, after looking over all the new mon and the movesets and realizing, gently caress, I had about 200,000 dust and now I have maybe 5000 after powering up my new beasts.

I got stupid lucky and was able to special evolve 2 Scisors, 1 Steelix (mine has iron tail and crunch), 1 Bellossom, 1 Sunflora, and 1 Slowking.

Halfway to a second Dragonite and about 20 candies from my Tyranitar.

Shifty Pony posted:

10km is a bit misleading, it really should be two candies because similar to gettigg pikachu on your shoulder the distance only gets banked when the candy triggers. So if you walk 5.8km, swap to something else, then swap back you need to walk 5km instead of 4.2 more because 0.8km of the previous walking didn't count.

Also be sure to evolve from the buddy screen.

How? I don't see the evolution button for my eevee on the buddy screen.

Three 10k. 1 Pineco.

I prayed to the Pokegods. Please, one Dratini or one Larvitar. JUST ONE of either! Then I can get my second Dragonite or my first Tyranitar!

I hit the motherfucking payload of eggs since Valentine's. So many Dratini and Larvitar, and tonight my last three 10ks were a Mantine, Skarmory....and the last Dratini I needed to evolve. Around Valentines I was so pissed, Pinsir after Pinsir with double candy, I was at 80 candy for my Dragonaire and walking nonstop, and finally got my Dratini with 40 candy right near the end of the event.

I have two Dragonite and one Tyranitar. I am kinda in shock.

And also feel like the spoiled kid at the birthday party who got the best remote drone ever, but complained because it was red and he wanted blue; my Dragonite has Dragon Tail and Outrage, and I was hoping for Steel Wing to use against ice/fairy attackers. But I know poo poo all about movesets, so maybe it's still good? All I know is when I am attacking a Dragonite in a gym and it has Steel Wing/Hyperbeam, my attackers bite the loving dust hard.

Left to evolve now. Phanpy, Togepi.....and 100 Mareep candy to get the giraffe-looking electric sheep. Oh, and 100 more Chikorita and Hoppip candy!

Nests change! And the zoo is Spinarak, the town lake is Meowth, the community college the same. Two close parks to me are loving Geodude and Qwilfish (this park was Qwilfish three rotations ago).

It's like Niantic just got bored of making money. People look forward to nest changes and going to new parks, but when 4 out of the 6 closest to you are loving Shuckle or Snubbell, why bother?

Yes, I'm sure they're tired of making money, that's why the RNG giving you bad nests (for you personally) in one rotation is the death knell of this game

or it's not, at all

It's been since January since the Qwilfish park has had anything but commons, or repeats of the same. It can't be randomized, how they switch the spawns with such Vegas odds. Several other nests around the city are all the same as they were two rotations ago.

Meanwhile there hasn't been a single Charmander nest since before January.

I don't expect loving Dratini nests, but it would be nice to actually have different nests show up so the same park doesn't go Geodude/Sandshrew/Venonat/Geodude/Sandshrew...

Nope, Scythers are now a 5k hatch. 5k eggs, however, are basically useful only for stardust and candy for mass evolving for experience. Outside of maybe Rhyhorn, nothing really worthwhile hatches from 5ks.

Only way to fill your dex for Phanpy, Tyrogue, etc.

The only decent one is Shellder, about a half mile from my house, but it spawns maybe 1-2 an hour.
