I'm 7.4km into a 10k egg too

I got a stupid weedle out of an egg earlier. I think it was a 2.0 one though.

Yeah I've given up on the 2km ones. Out of the 12 Pokemon it could possibly be, I already have 8. I'm not wasting all that walking on a 30% chance I'll get something new. And I would be pissed if I got a Weedle or a goddamn rattata LOL. My 5km today was a Shellder! Yesterday's was a Voltorb.

Very nice swizz ! Do you live near a lake or something, I see you've got a bunch of water Pokemon. I have very few. Since I live in the forest I get rattatas and pidgeys. And kudos on that Dratini!

What would your ideal 6 lineup be? If you could have anything. I'd like:

Electric, Jolteon
Ground, sandshrew eventually sandslash (my fav from the game as a kid. The best ground type I think!)
Water, Seel eventually dewgong
Fire, I'd love a growlithe
Rock, Rhydon
And a scyther

What ill actually probably get (eventually):
Jolteon
Flareon
Polywhirl
Golbat
Clefable
And a fucking Raticate, blech.

I work a couple blocks from a large river, so I get tons of water ones there. My older brother/nephew got a TON of cool ones at the beach last weekend, totally jealous. 

I honestly don't know enough about the qualities to have an ideal lineup down yet, but I'll get there, lol. 

I remember a lot of the qualities from playing wayyyy too fucking much as a teenager.

I got a Shellder over the weekend out of an egg.  

You gotta incubate the crappy ones to make room for good ones. Sucks. 

Oh I didn't know that! You can only "hold" so many eggs? How many? I see we both have 9, is that the max? I need to buy more incubators so I can incubate more at once! I have 3 incubators right now, I think 1 only has 1 more use though.

[awkwardpenguin]

I can't log in right now, but I've gotten a half kilometer today just walking to meetings. And I want to share my lineup but it's really boring.

I wanna see! It's not boring to me!

Who do you wish you had? swizz has got me all excited about the prospect of a Flareon now.

My limitation is battery life. Even on battery saver mode, a 100% charge lasts me 2.5 hours. I could have played longer today at the grocery store but my battery died.

Yeah, you can only hold onto 9. I have six incubators right now, lol

Good to know, thank you! Any more tips and tricks you can share? I've read soooo many blog posts about how to play, and just today you've taught me two things I didn't know! Thanks so much for chatting with me!

[Deleted]

swizz who do you wish you had? Like you see it's shadow come up in your "nearby" map and you're like COME OVER HERE! I saw a Rhydon and Scyther shadows once but then they were gone.

[awkwardpenguin]

I'd love a Snorlax. I also somehow don't have a Jigglypuff.

I bought a power bank that can recharge my phone twice. I'd already been considering the purchase but the game tipped me over to buying it.

[peggy]

I have a charging cord at my desk at work, so that helps.

I hatched my 1st Jigglypuff from a 2km egg, and ever since I see them in the wild now. I've caught a few.

Link to the power bank? Will it fit in my pocket LOL?

What are you talking about, your lineup isn't boring! It's awesome! Look at the great hypno's! I have seen ONE psychic Pokemon, ONE. A 100ish level Abra that I caught. Psychics and ghost Pokemon are GREAT for battling, they're hard to hit.

[awkwardpenguin]

@supergreen, this one is very small and does 1 charge

I got this one which is absurdly expensive but was available locally:

Your lineup is great too peggy! I'm jealous of your Gloom. Mine is weak. What do you wish you could catch? Since I live in the forest, I feel like scyther is the pinnacle of my area. I want it!

Thank you! I'm tired of being without my phone all morning so I can let it charge to 100% so I can play Pokemon later.

I'm jealous of your Fearow. I'm dutifully catching spearow after spearow after spearow, saving candies to evolve one into a Fearow.

Look at all these lures!

Wow! I don't think anywhere in my small town has that many pokestops.

[vtdiamond]

OMG I just missed this huge grey dinosaur looking thing. I had just pulled into our apt complex and there were a bunch of boys walking around with their phones that probably got it. Any ideas what it was?

[peggy]

swizz holy stardust. Use that ish!

@supergreen I want one of the tiger ones I'm going to go to the zoo one day and see if they have fun ones.

I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!

J/K that's awesome, lucky you!

And holy crap swizz you have a METRIC SHITTON of stardust!! Are you saving it for your Eevee's? I've never broken 4,000. I use it as soon as I get it!

What do you spend your stardust on?

Powering up my Pokemon. It just goes FAST. All my top 6 Pokemon require 1,000 stardust to go up ONE power level. You only get 100 stardust per Pokemon you catch. So I have to catch TEN Pokemon to increase the level of one of my good ones.

[kategm]

swizz, @supergreen,

Legit question. How do y'all have so few Pokemon's? I have 147/250? Do you just transfer the "blah" ones? I guess you can only hold only 250 at a time? So after I get 100 more I'm going to have to do something with them in order to get more.

Also, is it better evolve a CP139 Pidgey into a higher level Pidgeotto, or do I keep collecting Pidgey candy to evolve my existing Pidgeotto? Pidgeotto's CP is only 112, so lower than Pidgey.

[smock]

I trade in duplicates and only keep one or two high levels of each type.

And in terms of deciding what to evolve, I go by the percent full of CP (looking at the half circle and seeing if it's 75% full vs 85%). I'd evolve the Pidgey twice in that scenario, for example, because you'll get more XP and a higher CP Pigeot.

All of this is what I do too.

Ok I've answered a bunch of questions now I have a legitimate one. swizz smock awkwardpenguin how well does incense work for you? I feel like it should be better. I get 3-6 Pokemon in the 30 minute span, and they all suck. Like 10cp rattatas and pidgeys. There are NO Pokemon at my house in the boonies, so I use the incense just to get SOMEthing, but it's depressing.
