Would have liked another one, but I am not complaining. Also hatched a Chansey that gave me enough candies to get my first Blissy. Also got enough to evolve to get Sharpedo. But still can't find a Ditto which is annoying. Probably have way over 100 Gastly candies. I feel like the Kanto event is screwing Ditto searchers a bit. Less Pidgeys and Ratttas out. Yeah I get they are doing this for more Magikarp, but idk. Yea you'd figure it would be easier to find Dittos during it. Heck I can't find them outside of it as it is. Nice! Ah I've seen around 2 Magikarp during it. That's it (seriously). Outside of it, I see none. So I'm stuck walking mine and it takes forever. It's why I really don't like that one part of the research. It'll take me a long time. I'd do a bit of work today if it weren't so cold or so slippery out. And the weather sucks right now, right on through the rest of the event. Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Despite the crappy weather, I managed to get a shiny Mareep and my Ampharos with Drangon Pulse. 😎👍 1 hour ago, Eliwoodman12 said: But still can't find a Ditto which is annoying.

Yeah agreed. I can't find a Dittio either. ...And of-fucking-course, I just happened to catch a Ditto while trying to get candies to complete the evolve 20 PKMN task THE DAY BEFORE I got to part 5 of the Mew quest. You'd think Ditto would be more common with this event, but no. Hopefully Ditto will be easier to find when this event is over and all the common PKN are back.

Shadow118 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Still hadn’t and haven’t been able to get out today - for some magical reason the weather decided to get into the low 30s, not to mention it’s been cold and windy today So I’ve pretty much gotten nothing done for the second tiime Edit: just checked it on Facebook calendar, looks like it ended at 4 p.m. Though when I was cleaning out some Pokémon to make more space this one randomly spawned right on top of me earlier CPs not exactly great, but that’s another Pokédex entry filled, so there’s that I guess Also looks like someone set up a lure module at the water tower... Id take advantage of it, but considering how cold and windy it is, yeah.... Edited April 15, 2018 by Shadow118 Quote Link to comment
Shadow118 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) This is surprising for this area - nice handful of Pokéstops in one area nice Theres also a couple Gyms and a Pokéstop or two in the surrounding area If anything new occurres I’ll just update this post Edited April 15, 2018 by Shadow118 Quote Link to comment
Gold Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Why don't gyms count as pokestops for getting new research tasks? Quote Link to comment

Weather was still bad out. Oh well. Damn. That sucks. Definitely. Yea only it wasn't even common then. I wish they'd just release a bunch of them just to get it over with! Quote Link to comment
Art_de_Cat Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Got shiny Ampharos w/ dragon move, pics later. Couldnt get a great iv one for reg purposes. Tempted to name it Barney for being a purple dino. Raids have been hit and miss, cant seem to get trick to work like it should. Halfway on that front. Metagross and Salamance will be on the team soon. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Nice job. Nearing hatch time with a couple of my eggs. Hoping to get something good from them. Quote Link to comment

Spoiler This was nice to have Pop up Well, I have Clefairy now Oddly enough I now have one of each.... huh Well, screw you too Grimer Another day for you, then.... Although not new, this was a nice addition Though it was an extreme pain to catch And be i now have Dewgong And somehow end end up getting Seel right after That’s odd luck Another milestone badge Another Corphish hatched - higher CP than the other one I hatched too Only 1 more stamp in this set to go! Haul from tonight - a nice amount of rare Pokémon I think the Lure Models that a couple of people put on the stops helped with that Even have a higher CP Electabuzz, too! Though I’m going to have more clearing up to do - really need to get around to obtaining more coins That’s a slow process though.... Also the Dewgongs CP isn’t too bad either Almost close to getting this hatched - not too much longer.... At least I’ll be done with the 10km Eggs I have on hand after this one for the time being Though I did get a new 5km Egg... But at least I can get around to slowly working on the 2km eggs after this Edited April 16, 2018 by Shadow118 alienboyva and Doc Brown 2 Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hubby and I went out walking for the Mareep event. Thankfully, it didn't take me too long to find a shiny, and the double candy event means 12 candy per pinap berry catch, so I was able to evolve my shiny, Dragon Pulse Ampharos within a half hour of leaving the house. Also found a new market while wandering, so overall, a success. Not I just need to find a raid that I can join and leave over and over to complete the 10 raid part of my current step towards Mew.

Shadow118 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Apparently I took enough steps to trigger the Egg to hatch Feebass.... is okay, I guess? Evolving it doesn’t seem to complicated, though 110 candy is a bit expensive 115 CP isn’t the best, so hopefully it can get a massive CP boost whenever I can get enough to evolve it..... Also I’m pretty close to Lv 23 - I think the combination of double XP from the event and those catches from last night in Pawnee, IL (No. Tavern on the Square) gave me a pretty big boost in XP Also even after doing some clearing I’m down to 272/300 - choosing what to transfer is difficult.... Especially when you get those with CP 500 and up - on the bright side, I’m getting close or just have enough to evolve some of them I don’t know whether I want to do so right away or not, though.... Really need to work on getting more coins for expansions Spoiler Edited April 16, 2018 by Shadow118 Quote Link to comment

Yeah there's a ton of gyms. In the downtown area we've got like 4 EX Gyms? Keep in mind this is the downtown area of my city. I live in the 'burbs where things pale in comparison to the above. But we've got a great community in the area, so whenever there's a Community Day, practically every single stop is Lured up, there's also groups of people that make and hand out Pokemon themed cookies, and using a Starbucks as a "check-in" station you can enter a free raffle for prizes. All user run. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I will say that living in the downtown area of a relatively big city has definitely impacted my enjoyment of the game. I would have given up over a year ago otherwise. I mean, this is my neighborhood: There's another gym on the opposite side that's as close as the closest Instinct one here. Lots of Stops and Gyms throughout the whole city center and parks and stuff too. Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Looks like next community day Pokemon on the 21st of May is Charmander. I'll gladly hunt to get a shiny Charizard. Doc Brown and Art_de_Cat 2 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Apparently the details for the next Community Day were leaked on the JPN PKMN GO site, Niantic hasn't officially announced this is yet. Dang I recently evolved a Charmander to Charizard for the 'Evolve 20 PKMN' task in part 4 of the Mew quest. If only I'd known. Oh well...I still still have 37 candies left after that.
