Not much going on over here! I found Arbok for the first time and used a lucky egg and some trash evolves to hit level 21. I did just find a Twitter account that tweets local rare spawns so maybe I can use that to pick up something cool soon
God I hate incense. I caught a pidgey, a weedle, and 2 rattatas. And then had an eevee and another stinkin weedle poof on me. What a waste. I never see anything on my sightings screen at home, so I figured it was worth a shot.

I feel the same way about incense the majority of the time. Absolutely nothing spawns at my house, so I use an incense every day while the kids are napping. I figure it's 600 stardust at least. It's almost always crap. I start to get annoyed and think "maybe i'll stop using it" and that's when I'll get a random Jigglypuff, or a Vulpix, or Bulbasaur. So I keep using it. Niantic sure knows how to make me keep spending money.
I just got here and saw a random weedle on my sightings screen, so I'm guessing the incense is going to pull in normal crap. I've never seen anything here before. I'll try it tonight anyway.
Darn it! Yeah, if there's something on your sightings screen it's not going to work. You need to be at least 1km away from any spawn point. Or so I've read.
I ended up with two pidgeys, two weedles, an oddish, and a paras. Oddish and paras are not terribly common at home, so that's a silver lining.

It's not 600 stardust when 2 things poof! And the last time I used an incense only 4 things appeared and 1 of those poofed on me.
We went to an outdoor concert last night and I took over two gyms and left some crap guys there so I could collect the coins. One of them is still there
So far my game has been super lame/on hold after my move. I just don't have time to go around looking. But I'm at my IL's house this weekend and I saw a shadow of Seaking so I went to search. Of course I never found it, because I can never get the tracker to work, but while I was out I hatched a Goldeen and therefore I had enough candies to evolve and this is the result! I'm going to check the move set and then power up a few times if it's worth it.

Nice Seaking! He's got good CP for a Seaking! FYI, he's got the lesser quick move (poison jab is better) but the best special attack (mega horn).
DS and I took our usual Saturday morning Poke walk to the park, while DH and DD went to the Farmers Market. I caught my best Nidoran female to date, 499 CP! 4 more to get my Nidoqueen. Plus the last Gastly I needed to make a new-to-me Haunter. On the drive home I hatched another Ponyta, so I have enough to make a new-to-me Rapidash! So that will be 6 new to me Mons in one weekend! I'm 1 catch away from a Seadra and a Persian too. Maybe ill get lucky and get those too before I do another mass-evolve tomorrow.
I've hatched some good things, I get lots of 5k and 10k eggs. I need to be like @supergreen and sneak out and play by myself. Playing with a 4 year old that is obsessed with the game is...not a lot of fun for me, lol. She gets excited about everything that pops up at least!
I thought of your DD today when DS tapped on a Mon on the screen then sighed and said "another Pidgey." He sounded JUST LIKE ME.
@supergreen There's a 3 tier gym by IL's house that's held by rival Golduck, Rhydon, and Dragonite. What type of Pokemon do I use to battle those guys? Water/fire/grass, etc. And who do I leave in the gym to best defense against the water type that's prevalent where they live?

Hi, I'm new to this post. I just started playing Pokemon Go when I went on vacation with my family, mostly so I could help my 5 year old with it, and now I'm addicted. I'm at Level 20 and I have 87 Pokemon in my Pokedex. I haven't evolved many yet, because I'm waiting for better mons, and I also want to see what kind of Pokemon are native back home.
My best so far are a 1201 Rapidash and 1039 Nidoking (both caught). I've been spoiled by visiting areas with lots of Pokemon activity (theme parks, tourist attractions) and I think my game will slow down tremendously after I get home today.

Ooh I have a good infographic for attackers to pair against common gym defenders!
And here's a great chart for type matching. I use this chart every time I battle, it's saved on my phone. It's a flowchart from left to right. So for example, two rows from the bottom: electric and grass are very effective against water (in the center of the chart), and water is very effective against fire, ground, and rock. So if you're battling a water type like Golduck, you want to use an electric or grass type, because they are super effective against water. The flowchart also works the opposite direction. You can pick YOUR Pokemon from the middle column and see what it is and isn't effective against. I'm itching to use my brand new Vileplume, who's a grass type. So I find grass in the middle column, and see grass is very effective against water, ground, and rock. So Vileplume would be a good choice to battle against a Vaporeon, for example, or a Rhydon. I should NOT use my Vileplume against fire, ice, poison, flying, or bug types. Like a Flareon, because fire is super effective against grass. Make sense?
