Pokemon Go check-in

[Brie]

@supergreen this is the best Parasect move set right?

Also added this to my lineup. I think he kind of sucks but whatever.

Look who I found at my desk!!

I had a pretty good morning. I was able to collect coins from 2 gyms (although I've been kicked out of one of them since then), and I caught a CP 1139 Magmar. He doesn't have the best moveset, but he has one fire move, which I need. I made a mistake by leaving my Arcanine in a gym. He's the only semi-high level guy I have with fire moves, and he's been in that gym for 4 days! I need to remember not to use him as a defender again.

I also caught a decent Eevee to evolve.

DS keeps telling me to leave my Arcanine in gyms and I'm like noooo, I don't want him to get stuck there. I use him as an attacker all the time. I wish there was a way to designate attackers & defenders. Like favorites, but maybe different colored stars? Every time I scroll through my Mons to find the 1 Vaporeon out of 4 that i want to leave at the gym, I'm worried the gym is going to get sniped.

I can't believe how long you guys last in gyms. I'm lucky if I'm there for a few hours, and that usually only happens if I leave one in my office building or real gym in the evening.

[jeaniebueller]

I know I mocked this thread, but I did the app update on my phone and it logged me out and now I can't remember what DS's login name is!!! Eeeeeek.

I finally got 2 10K eggs, one last night and one this morning at the pokestop right by my house. And I leveled up to 20. I think we are going back into DC Friday night and I'm so excited. I made fun of my coworkers at first for playing and now I'm addicted.

Caught another pikachu in my building today. Two in two days! Also a dratini popped up but I couldn't find it.

ETA: and 3 exeggutes in one day! I only need one more to evolve a second exeggutor, just would to find a little bit better one to start with.

Brie not quite the best move set. Bug bite/solar beam is the most desired one for taking down water types like Vaporeon. But IMHO I don't think Fury Cutter (what you have) is all that different.

Brie I just added a Poliwrath yesterday, coincidentally he has the same move set. I like him! That's actually the move set I was hoping to get for my Poliwrath, I'm glad I got it! Very good against Lapras. Mud shot is super fast, I can get in 3 attacks between each dodge for Lapras's attack. It makes a nice rhythm. Attack attack attack, dodge, attack attack attack, dodge. And submission, being a fighting move is super effective against Lapras as an ice type. My Poliwrath is 1458 CP, he took down a 1600ish Lapras yesterday, no sweat.

Probably the ONLY Pokemon benefit you get in a small town is gym retention. The really inaccessible gym at the park I held for almost 3 weeks! Good thing I didn't need that Pokemon for anything! But a day is much more average for me, assuming I take the gym on a weekday. On the weekend I'm lucky to get a few hours.

Go to the FDR memorial if you haven't gone already! Best Pokemon hunting in ~100 miles. People get INSANE stuff there. Good luck with your 10k eggs! I'm incubating two right now also.

My trip to the lake today was a ROUSING SUCCESS! A few Psyduck, a few Magikarp, a Jigglypuff (one more until I can evolve!), a Growlithe (powered up my Arcanine!), and a new to me Golduck! I was really hoping for a Golduck or a Slowbro, I didn't have either of those. I was changing out of my swimsuit and saw the Golduck shadow on my sightings screen. I don't think I've ever rinsed off and changed so fast! DH and DS were changing, so I ran (holding 25lb DD) down the zillion stairs to where I hoped the Golduck was at the beach. You guys, I was running so hard, stuff was jiggling that shouldn't be jiggling. But I found it! Terrible 226 CP and IVs, but a pokedex entry! Right after that catch, a Growlithe showed up on my sightings. I am DESPERATE for candies to power up my beloved Arcanine. So I run some more alllll the way to the end of the beach, it wasn't there. I run alllll the way back to the changing rooms, plop DD with DH, and DS and I run the other way. Found it and caught it! Arcanine is now 1983 CP. If I can catch one more Growlithe he'll hit 2000 CP, my first 2k Mon. A great day!

I was the one who posted last week about how good FDR is for pokemon. I caught so many and ran out of balls even with all the pokestops there.   good luck with your 10k eggs too!

Ah ok, sorry I forgot that was you. Good luck at FDR! I really hope my eggs are a Snorlax or Lapras. But I'm happy with any new to me Pokemon. So not Eevee, Pinsir, Hitmonchan, or Electabuzz. I could use a strong Scyther, so that would be okay. But please Snorlax or Lapras!

[pizzanight]

I'm having a mostly really good Pokemon day - my friend brought me a Pikachu KinderEgg at barre this morning! I hatched a Charmander and it gave me enough candy to get a Charmeleon! I caught the ONE MORE Jigglypuff I needed to get a Wigglytuff! I hatched another Pikachu! I caught a 960 Ponyta in my office and evolved it to a 1441 Rapidash!

And then I hatched a Pidgey. Whomp whomp.

I've never held onto a gym for more than a couple hours - I always collect immediately because I can't ever get to a second one before I lose the first.

[gt7301b]

Patience pays off. I used a lucky egg and evolved my Queen, King, Victreebell, two new Flareons, a new Goldluck, plus a ton of crap for the points.

[Brie]

Should I evolve my 968 Gloom or wait and evolve my 708 Oddish all the way through?

I have 96 candies and am impatient.

A 968 Gloom will make a 1432 - 1481 Vileplume. A 708 Oddish will make a 1549 - 1635. For a 100-200 CP gain, I would wait. I use my Vileplume all the time.

[Deleted]

gt7301b wow oh wow! Those are some incredible evolutions! Excellent CP. And you got the best moves on everything! A double grass Victreebel?!? Poison Jab/earthquake on Nidoking is the best moveset, I hope I get that when I can eventually evolve mine. Congrats!

[Wines Not Whines]

My 10k egg hatched a Pinsir. Womp womp.

I keep hoping for one! I still don't have one.

I evolved the Eevee I caught this morning and now I have another fire attacker! @supergreen, how is this moveset?

I've caught about 10 of them! I usually don't bother catching them anymore, because I have it in my Pokedex and there's no way to evolve it, so I don't need the extra candies. I wish I could give you one of mine!

I feel like that about Tauros!

Leveled up to 19 today. Have started hitting up pokestops at a nearby university parking lot on my way past it each day.

Going to be in the 70s tomorrow. May finally be cool enough to get out of my car and hunt. Usually I just find a good parking lot to drop lures in.

thats the middle-of-the road moveset. All flareon's have Ember, it's their only quick attack. Flamethrower is worst special, heat wave in the middle, fire blast is best. Great CP though! I'd keep it. I've made 5 or 6 (maybe 7?) Flareons and I JUST got my first one with fire blast. I hadn't been holding my breath for one. I think yours is quite nice

[kategm]

@supergreen Does your Poliwratg have a name yet?

Theyre nothing to write home about. Clunky and weak. I have a bunch.

You have a suggestion? I was thinking Goliath, since the Goliath frog is the largest frog species in the world. What do you think? I was also thinking something wrestling related, since he's got submission as his special move. But when I google "famous wrestler names" I just get corny WWE/WWF stuff like Hulk Hogan or The Rock.

[juliabug]

Today was an awesome Pokémon day for me. I hatched a Magmar this morning. (I saw one my first week in the game but the app was buggy and crashed before I could get it. It's been bothering me to have that missing Pokémon.) Then I was able to get 3 gyms before work and on my way into the office, I caught my first Snorlax! CP 1550, but really easy to catch, just 1 raspberry and 1 ultraball.
