HOLY SHIT STOP EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY

DARMANITAN

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL

THEMANITAN

DARMANITAN THIS WEEKEND

UNLEASH THEMAN

---

fucking 7km eggs

---

*hatches all eggs at once to leave room for DARMANITAN eggs*

---

Oh yeah I remember emptying out all my eggs for bell stantler and then not hatching a single one.

Or when I had to hatch 60 eggs to get a wurmple in a hat that couldn't evolve.

Not this time niantic. Not this time.

---

Bad luck, I got 3 of each of those

Murphy's law here is that the one I really want is the one I won't get

Also egg-only + lucky trades = more chance of a hundo Darmanitan

Good stuff

---

Well I won 3 matches out of 4
The only guy I lost to won the whole thing

That was a decent showing considering I'm relatively unoptimized

---

Not Blitzle
Zebstrika

---

I got Scolipede and Seismitoad yesterday (and immediately found, like, 5 more Tympoles), which leaves me with:

Galvantula (need 10 candy)
Crustle (need 35 candy)
Garbodor (need 44 candy)
Dewott/Samurott (need 46 candy)
Gurdurr/Conkeldurr (need 232 candy, or Timburr on my alt + 50 candy)
Boldore/Gigalith (need 238 candy, or Roggenrola on my alt + 50 candy)
Archen line
Carracosta line
Deino line
Axew line

So basically not ready for Darmanitan at all.
---

In fairness when I say I'm ready for TheMan I'm lying

Nobody is ready for TheMan

---

saw my first roggenrola today and it ran away seconds later.

Saw Deino and sprinted as fast as I could to the stop, got my second deino for my gf Full IVS in two stats and 1 in attack so thats a flavor

Still I'm lucky to have even one!

---

FD I'm pretty sure we are reeeeeeallt close to being best friends on GO and have been for about two months. I personally blame you for not opening my gifts...

---

2 hours, 18 minutes

I will open every gift
I will have 9 7k eggs
I will hatch them asap
I will have TheMan

---

Just got my tickets to the st. louis pokemon safari event

anyone else going by any chance? 12 dollars to catch a single bird and a letter is a bad deal but I make that kind of money now

---

Hatched all the eggs with an hour to spare to leave 9 egg slots open for gift eggs

My brain:: OK XIII. Don't spin any Pokestops for the next hour in case you get a stupid 5K egg you don't need. Just don't spin any stops. Close the app, or something. But first since you still have that Stardust activated catch all the nearby Pokemon. BUT THEN CLOSE THE APP.

Me: OK cool. *catches all the Pokemon*
*2 minutes later*
*Habitually spins a Pokestop and gets a 5K egg*

My brain: you stupid piece of shit.

---

Congrats on 39 @StifledSilence . Only 5 million xp to go gah

---

I'm still 500k from 39.

And then, yeah, another 5mil after that. It's such a ridiculous jump.

I've done this so many times
---

lol they reduced the chance of you getting eggs from gifts

niantic lives to make us suffer

---

/shrug I got the needed 8 eggs out of about 11 opened gifts

---

3/3 eggs per gift currently. Shrug

---

I have enough Darumaka candies on my alt. I can get Darmanitan at midnight if I so choose.

It's so tempting to evolve it and trade it immediately but also kinda want to wait until I'm lucky friends

I want the hundo

---

SEND
FOR
THEMAN

---

oooooOOOOOOH MY GOD
I WAS UNLEASHED
FINALLY AVAILABLE IN POGO

THEMANITAN TANS ALL OVER YOU

---

Ouch at those lucky stats

---

It's ok

I have a lot of 2016 Pokemon and 2 weeks

---

congrats XIII

this is the worst btw

I keep running out of gifts for egg slots. Plus I'm out of gifts to hand out, but I can't spin any pokestops with egg slots open.
---

I got my Darumaka!
Its 15/11/12 so I can still hope for a better one, but it takes the pressure off of not landing one.

Still gonna collect 7k until the event ends so I can try for a shiny Magby or Wurmple, but I won't be running incubators.


---

Darumaka update: I've hatched precisely 1 on my main account, and 7 on my alt now.

lol at the taunting from the gods

Although I guess this does mean I get a chance to randomize/re-roll the IVs and maybe get a hundo when I trade over the alt ones

---

oh btw, it looks like the lucky trade rate wasn't boosted on new pokemon for LNY so watch out for that

I hatched two darumakas without trying so far, so it looks like Niantic really does have a way to peer into your soul and keep what you want from you since I never cared about him that much.

---

I mean I have a lucky THEMAN with good stats, just not spectacular ones

Searching for more, for better, but the Hundo will be difficult/unlikely

I got tickets for Sunday

I'll be there friday if you're in town

---

Possibly. My sister lives in the area so I'll likely fly at least a little early

---

Ok cool Im adding you as a friend just in case we want to meet up

---

Triforce77? Anyone here?

---

Sounds good

---

Sorry

TriforceXX

---

@Drakeryn you and my wife are 1 day from Ultra. She already has a gift from you. Did you want to egg it?

---

I don't need the exp, feel free to open whenever.
---

Okay that's what I figured

Oh and I caught a Shiny Wurmple!

It's stats? 0-0-15

---

Chicago, Illinois

Are the sources for my 3 darumaka so far

Rhyhorn won Community Day

Woo

I got a Scraggy from the new PVP system. I now only need Haxorus, which I'm still 49 candy away from. Tomorrow I will have Woobat with 25 candy so I should have that in short order, meaning the only real challenge now is tha Hax.

I've never had all the Pokemon available before, I'm kinda excited. (Although I do technically still need Nincada)

---

I haven't seen Axew at all. Not even the shadow of it, I had forgotten it existed.

I was very very lucky to hatch it one day. My kids shook the phone for the final KM

Other than that, I haven't seen it either.

---

That shaking method... how good is it and how long does it take?

---

About a KM every 10m

Make sure you're logged off. It's handy, but I don't do it all the time. My new apartment has crazy gps drift too so I don't need it that much at the moment. PoGo thinks I've walked over 20km already in the 30 hours since the weekly rewards thing reset.
