I went back into DC to FDR and MLK memorials from 10pm- 230am. Caught so many including Jinx, Onix, Geodudes, Snorlax, magneton, drowzee, manchoke and enough psyduck to evolve 3 golduck and 2 more pikachu. A great night!
Is there parking around there? We're there a lot of people? I don't think I can hang until 2:30 am, but maybe earlier one night...
Yes there were a ton of people out and about. There is parking but if you go be careful and read the signs. On Thursday night when I went I parked along the street where everyone else was parked and I got a ticket because it was no parking zone. Oops. Last night my friends wanted to check out Lincoln and WWII so we parked on constitution and walked over to FDR. We are all single without kids otherwise I wouldn't be able to be out that late. We went to IHOP on the way home and evolved a bunch of stuff too. I went to bed at 5am and now get to babysit my nieces at my pool all day so I'm hurting a bit
I used a lucky egg before some evolutions this morning and leveled up to 26.
I was able to evolve Raichu, Wheezing, and Wortortle for three new additions to my Pokedex. I'm sure I should have waited on Wartortle, but it's going to take so long to get enough candies for Blastoise and I'm impatient. I'm now at 119/119 in the Pokedex. Here's my lineup with some of my favorites now.
I also evolved a new Exeggcutor with solar beam, yay, a Flareon with fireblast, and Parasect with solar beam, I can't imagine he will be of much use when I have the Exeggcutor with the same move and much higher CP, but I'll see how it does in battles. I was definitely excited to see some good moves on my evolutions today. Here's my top CP lineup now
Wow bl they look amazing! Good work! I would use the low CP Parasect with solar beam for training friendly gyms to put your own Mon in. If the attacker (your Parasect) has half the CP of the defender (like a Vaporeon), you get max prestige to level up the gym. I use the same technique with my own 900 CP Tangela with vine whip/solar beam. I've evolved 5 Parasects so far, and never gotten one with solar beam.
broken record here, but should I evolve my oddish? It's CP520. I've had the candies to evolve for like a week now and this is the best I've gotten. Appraise says "your oddish has room for improvement as far as battling goes", which is the lowest statement for that one. blah.
Also I have the following with around 30-40 candies: abra* bulbasaur gastly geodude machop nidoran (m)* nidoran (f)* poliwag 125 seems so far away! I don't know if I should keep waiting it out, or just evolve what I've got. The ones with the *s I've already caught the mid evolution in the wild, so they are not as tempting.
Look guys!!! Esp @supergreen Guess who I found in a random small town in TX while taking a pee break during our drive? Forgive the giant red bar pretty much permanently affixed to my screen these days. That CP level you're missing? Just look at his curve and you can see why I left it off. Whopping CP 42. I'm sure he'll be a huge asset to my pokedex.

I have been playing with H, but getting more into it, so I decided to post. We had a great day! We started by doing a few driving laps down our main drag and got 170 regular balls, 30 great, and 20 ultra. We then went to this little park that always has a ton of players, with a lot of stops and lures. We were there for just under 4 hours and got 270 pokemons, 5 of which were new to us. Including this guy that h was excited about (although he would have much rather had the snorlax, kategm). We ended doing a few more laps in the way home (got another 150 balls) and found another Lapras!

ETA: And we made level 24!
That Lapras is way awesome! My Snorlax is so pathetic in comparison.

I'm nearly halfway through level 22. As I've mentioned 1000x on this thread, my game is pretty lame because the gps on my phone doesn't work right. I'm calling tomorrow to get a phone repair started, so hopefully I'll be able to play more effectively soon.

I'm pretty bummed. Last night we did the zoo poke-event, mostly pidgeys and ratattas. And taht was th lures everywhere. I evolved a bunch and leveled up to 18. I thought the big guys came out at 18. Nothing. Best thing I caught today was a 600 gloom. I had a Abra poof on me today, so I'm annoyed bc it would have been new for me, and I only three one ball at it. I was in a gym today for a bit. Hatched a 5k oddish. BORING!
Wow sounds like everyone had a good day! Amazing catches and evolutions you guys. As I said earlier, I carved out kid-free time to play at the neighboring town 30 minutes away. They had more pokestops, but less uncommon Pokemon. My 10k was an Electabuzz, I'm very pleased with that!
I evolved my Victreebel, but I'm pretty unhappy with it. I chose my 621 CP Bellsprout b/c it had good IVs, but could have been better CP. I got double poison moves, which I don't really need b/c I already have a double poison Pokemon (Nidoqueen) who's much stronger on CP and HP than the Victreebel. I powered it up a few times, but I don't see myself using it much, which is a bummer.
I was sooooo close to level 25 that I literally drove laps around my parent's house to hatch my last 2 eggs to get the XP to level up. Level 25 now, woot woot!
My current lineup. I used all the stardust I got today to re-max out my Vileplume and Nidoqueen, both I use a lot. At 4000 stardust per power up, my reserves were gone so fast! My current lineup:
@supergreen, We went to a local park today that is an Electabuzz nest and I caught 5 in about 45 minutes. Then, I hatched my 10K egg while we were walking around the park and it was a freaking Electrabuzz. I was so annoyed!
I did not catch or hatch a Growlithe, which sucks. I really want to power up my Arcanine, I used him to take down several gyms today. Even with the worst special attack, he mows down Exeggcutor's and poison types (Nidoqueen/King). I DID however hatch a ton of really good eggs. A lot of 1st level Mons where I don't have the second evolution in my pokedex yet. Slowpoke, Drowsee, Doduo, and Diglett. Getting closer on their evolutions! Plus, my very last pokestop of the whole day gave me another 10k egg! Yeah!
The neighboring town also had LOTS more Exeggcute than I'm used to seeing. I caught 7 I think! So I'm going to stop powering up my current sucky Exeggcutor since I'm halfway to a new one. I'm also getting close on Wigglytuff, Polywrath, and Nidoking.

I'm sorry you were disappointed in your 10k egg. I have never seen an Electabuzz, so I was thrilled with the pokedex entry and to have another strong electric type. I only have Jolteons and I'm bored with them.
this local group of pokego players that Brie added me to is full of crazy people and good tips, lol. DD starts back at preschool this week and I'm considering using that 2.5 hours to hit up some new places around town to get some new to me pokemons.
also can't wait til baby is here and I can take her for walks places to play. With DD along she is alllll up in my pokebusiness.

pugz I plan on doing the same thing once DS goes back to school! I'm going to go to new areas with DD to catch new Pokemon. I've been trolling my area's subReddit, and writing down any reports of good spawns. I have a few new areas to try out. DS is also all up in my pokebusiness (TM pugz).

LOL I tell DS I am texting DH, or pulling up directions.
Wow miso! Both verrrry rare, congrats! And LOL at your "not so exciting" list. I am beyond thrilled with the single Arcanine I have. I really wish I could power him up more!
