Current Events > I picked a terrible time to start playing Pokemon Go.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh and you can only trade from like 100 ft away. So unless you live in SW ND that's probably a no go lol

My buddy was down in Florida and said he was seeing gulpin all the time.

I would have expected Garbodor.

Lol well said. Well said

I found out about the trading limitations shortly after posting that.

Also:

SO

FUCKING

MANY

ZIGZAGOONS

Maybe you'll get lucky and find a shiny one

I think I misunderstood people saying Level 30 and whatnot.

They meant trainer level, I thought Pokemon.

Pokemon has levels too.

Highest level pokemon you can find in the wild is 30 without weather boost

But it is rare to find a pokemon in the wild that has a higher level than your trainer level
---

Yeah, I don't know if it still works the same way, but on the rare occasion I found a Mon higher than my level its CP showed up as ???

That means its CP is higher than anything you currently have. By the time you start getting 2900 cp things, you'll never see what again. The highest you can possibly find is like... Weather boosted level 35 Snorlax. And that'll not happen after this event ends.

Ooooh. I guess I was incorrect the whole time lol. That is what I told my buddy when he was new at playing the game.

This is what I mean by waiting to be a higher level to power up and evolve. I found this at a gas station just now after getting off work (as a Larvitar though, but still) don't have to do anything to it, already is powered up and got the good moveset upon evolving.



And a 93% IV Snorlax right next to it, 2639 CP, ready for gyms.
---

Alright.

This is TC, got warned.

See, this is great to catch. If he did level it, more than 2 power ups (to 36) would make virtually no difference but cost a lot of stardust and candy.

I have a few raid ones and I've got the candy to level them up but realistically, the only things weak to dark ttar for the foreseeable future will have a fairy move as a possible attack. And rock-wise, only the ones with community day moves are worth it and even then I have a rampardos so that's more bang for my buck than the egg hatched larvitar I evolved for the community day move.

Basically, invest in things that are worth it, if you can avoid that then please do so, and don't waste resources on junk legendaries unless you need that type covered. Even a 12-12-12 Rayquaza is still top tier.

Hatched an A-Grimer and Tyrogue.

Also evolved a Rhyhorn, who is now my strongest dude.

I evolved a rhydon to a rhyperior and got dual rock moves and rhyperior apparently doesn't have a ground fast move so I left my dual ground rhydon as is. He's just over 3k. Rhyperior is a bit under 4 I wanna say, so rhydon still quite useful, especially against elec types.
---

went to EX raid. Didn't catch it. Oh well. I did catch one when it was deoxys attack form in the past. Still worth going for rewards: some candy, golden razz, 2 charge tms.
---

To the what raid?
---

If you raid/battle at EX gyms you can potentially get an EX raid pass. The more you interact with one of those gyms that way the higher your chances of getting one are.

EX raid passes are sent out like a week before the actual raid. It will tell you the date and time of the raid to be there.

EX raids are always tier 5.
---

Gonna try raiding a Sableye.
---

Shouldn't be too bad as long as you have some good counters.
---

I did not.

I came fucking close, though. 20 more seconds probably would have done it.
---

Seems level 2 raids like to have guys with frustrating typing.
---

Yeah. Sableye is only weak to fairy type I think
---

Thought the Rock event started today.

I just got a mess of Pokeballs for walking enough this week. That was nice.

Tomorrow!

I've been stuck on "catch lileep, anorith, omanyte, kabuto, and aerodactyl" for months now (meltan questline)

Me too. Was lucky though to get it about half done. 2 anoriths showed up on a partly cloudy day and got an aerodyctl in some other research. Just need the other gen 1ers again.
---

Something tells me I'm not gonna get that one in time for the event.
---

Pulled off the Evolve 20 Pokemon one.

Gotta earn two more candies, catch a Ditto, and evolve an evolved grass type still.

Yeah I got lucky with Kabuto because there's a nest or something near the park by my office so I got those 2 right away
---

This event is a steal if you want to level up quick

4k experience for spinning a stop that you haven't visited (with a lucky egg on)
---

Nice.
---

God damn it.

Had several guys in gyms, all of whom were set to get 50 coins.

First one gets knocked out this morning, 50 coins.

Second two get kicked scant minutes before midnight, so I get nothing.

I went for a walk last night and some poor sucker took over a gym and I kicked his ass right out of it like a minute or two later >:P

I got kicked out not long after that, but still got some coins in the process lol

One of the Professor challenges is that you have to trade a Pokmon. Is trading still as bad as it was when it first came out where you have to spend a shit ton of stardust?

It's only expensive if one person trades something that the other doesn't have, or you trade a legendary/shiny, and your friendship is at a lower level.



Only thing wrong is a trade can cost 100 stardust minimum, there's no discount if you trade a Pidgey for a Pikachu for example.
---

I've gotten an Anorinth and Lileep already.

Had an A Geodude floating around but he vanished.
---

"Partly Cloudy," says Pokemon Go.



Sure thing.
---

Anoriths and lilleeps which I don't need are everywhere. I need omanytes and kabutos (2 total) and I only had 1 kabuto spawn :(
---

I got to evolve my Aron.

Also my Magby is super close to getting enough candy all of the sudden.

He was right on getting 5 km then the event happened and he got like 3 at once.
---

4x candy is live!

Walking mothim for burmy candy, which is a 1km. So candy for every 1/4km lol
---

I was wondering why you were buddies with a giant fucking moth.
---

Yeah I finally got a female. So now I need candy to evolve to wormadam. But I like how mothim looks better than burmy
---

Magcargo raid. This I think I can do.
---

SO FUCKING CLOSE.

I'd have had it if shitty internet hadn't wasted twenty seconds.

Plus the raid was like ten seconds from ending when I got here so no second chance.
---

I just caught an Omanyte while lying in bed.

Sorry @Machete
---

Got another one.

Also I'm not Warned anymore.

Do you have to do something before doing those or are they just good to go?
---

Well, you have to find a pokestop that has the task you want. Those are just the field research tasks added for this event.
---

Got another kabuto even though the game froze lol. Got meltan now too but not a very good one.
---

Began a shiny Anorith encounter in the grocery store, used a golden razz berry, threw ball, it did that thing where it didnt wiggle or anything because phone lost signal at some point while I was deep in the grocery store, came back and it was gone. No record of it fleeing or in my pokemon stash or anything.

I am triggered

EDIT:



Also this seems to be inaccurate. I traded my girlfriend, we are ultra friends, a shiny Meditite. She has one in her pokedex already, so it shouldn't have been "new." But it still cost 80k stardust. What's the deal?
