Try politely asking the captain if he can steer a little bit closer to that shoreline pokestop on the 7th day

Replicant · Mar 23, 2017

So many Magikarp on dry land now. Weird. Not sure if I want another Gyarados. Already have 7 and can potentially create another one or two if I want to but space is tight.

Give me those sweet Dratinis though.

Benzychenz · Mar 23, 2017

How's Iron Tail and Crunch on Tyranitar?

perfectchaos007 · Mar 23, 2017

Water pokemon are everywhere right now in my area. I caught lik 4 marrils, 2 seels, and my first ever Lapras in about 10 mins!!

I'm seeing reports on favebook about Shiney magicarp? Any truth or people spreading shit?

BigJonsson · Mar 23, 2017

Nooooo

Scyther nest near me turned to Electabuzz =/

Shinies have been seen in Toronto....

Joni · Mar 23, 2017

I got a Shuckle nest now. A Shuckle nest. 15 spawn points of Shuckle.
Got a Sun Stone in my 7 Day Streak so Sunflora is covered. Just need two Metal Coats and a Dragon Scale now.
Seems like at least now there are some Chikorita Cluster Spawns to find if I look at TSR.

Oxx · Mar 23, 2017

Nothing too exciting around here. Just a few Squirtles and an Omanyte.

I suppose I should get out and explore the new nests.

They appear to be legit.

GulAtiCa · Mar 23, 2017

Ouch! Someone found a Shiny Magikarp who transformed into a non-shiny Ditto.....
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/60ybrh/shiny_magicarp_shiny_ditto/

Though, only Magikarp / Gyarados are shiny, so that Ditty might, hopefully, be shiny later on.

Oxx · Mar 23, 2017

I think I gots a shiny karp.

GulAtiCa · Mar 23, 2017

Nice! My current 2 goals are the following: Get a Shiny Magikarp and a 100% IV Dratini. I wonder which one will be harder. lol

Oxx · Mar 23, 2017

I'm on 272 Magikarp candy at the moment, but at the rate of karp spawns right now I should be able to evolve it into a shiny Gyarados today or tomorrow.

I hope they patch that in for him, cause fuck if that happens to me lol.

Oxx · Mar 23, 2017

If it's any consolation, my shiny karp has bad IVs.

GulAtiCa · Mar 23, 2017

I just hatched a fucking Mantine....

IXI FalcoN · Mar 23, 2017

Apparently Dratini spawns were removed for the event

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/60z56m/dratini_removed_from_event_spawns/

Guess that makes Lapras and shiny karps the only exciting things to hunt for.

gutshot · Mar 23, 2017

Welp, there goes my main reason to spend the weekend at the beach. Walking my Dratini takes too fucking long.

Fucking Niantic.

Of course they would.

Goddamnit. I don't want Gyarados and I have plenty of Lapras. I WANT A DRAGONITE.

Hickbilly Deluxe · Mar 23, 2017

I wouldn't mind lapras if they hadn't nerfed them, which I still fail to see the reasoning behind.

Well, was all during the CP rebalance. All Pokemon either got a buff or a nerf. At the time, Lapras would have gotten this "nerf", but there was a big paid ad lapras compain in Japan, so they did a delay "nerf" to catch up with the reset of the system.

jstevenson · Mar 23, 2017

found a mareep this morning on the way to the park which was nice.

just like 16 more to go...

HiResDes · Mar 23, 2017

I'm at 385 Magikarp for my first Gyrados, I have a perfect IV Magikarp but it's about halfway up in terms of CP...Is a perfect Gyrados worth the dust if I get a good moveset? I'm also finally at 66/70 for Johto. I haven't found a single Mareep.

Yes. I'd even evolve it if it had 10CP. Man I'm so jealous of you right now -_-

Funny enough... My 100% Gyarados happens to come from a caught 10CP Magikarp. heh. Took a good bit of stardust to get it to lv 30.

Oxx · Mar 23, 2017

I've added 108 magikarp candy since we last posted, but now I'm out of prenup berries and probably in for the night.

Still needing 20 candy to evolve.

HammerOfThor · Mar 23, 2017

Is there an event going on? I'm noticing a lot of water Pokémon everywhere since yesterday.

I also got a Metal Coat.

I'm glad that items aren't just confined to 7 day streak days.

HardRojo · Mar 23, 2017

Went from 23 to about 120 Magikarp candies in a few hours messing around. Is this what it feels like to live close to Magikarp spawns during regular play? It's awesome!

Yes, yes it is.

WhiteRabbitEXE · Mar 23, 2017

Magikarp still isn't common where I live. In fact I've yet to see one. Reasonably common on campus though.

Dishwalla · Mar 23, 2017

Finally hatched a Lapras. Feels good.

john tv · Mar 24, 2017

How do you know if you caught a shiny Magikarp? And is that how you get a red Gyarados or?

WhiteRabbitEXE · Mar 24, 2017

john tv said:

Shiny Magikarp is Gold. I assume can both catch and evolve shiny Gyarados.

Growlie19 · Mar 24, 2017

Loving the event so far. Tons of Magikarp and handfuls of Squirtle and Omanyte here. Even had a nearby nest turn to Totodile! Three new dex entries include Kabutops, Stantler, and Totodile. Should have Omastar and Croconaw by the end of the event.

Is it gold in the Nearby screen or when you're in battle?

GulAtiCa · Mar 24, 2017

john tv said:

Battle only. And yes you can evolve. Can be seen in gyms too.

So you won't know till you click on it

HardRojo · Mar 24, 2017

Reports say it's only when you enter the battle that you can see whether it's shiny or not. Also, it could be a shiny for you but that doesn't mean that it'll necessarily be a shiny for others.

LucidMomentum · Mar 24, 2017

Caught a Feraligator today.

Woooooooooo.

psynergylover · Mar 24, 2017

Didn't know there's shiny magikarps about!!!

Already have 6 Gyarados.....(one caught, five evolved) and I'm currently sitting one over 500 candies....time to go shiny magikarp hunting!!!!

Joni · Mar 24, 2017

I'm thinking the Shiny Magikarp thing is kinda shitty because the code is likely on the app side, so if you don't have the updated app, you might not be able to get it.

Chuckie · Mar 24, 2017

Lol... that new Magikarp hat is awesome.

Actually, no. It's on server side. People have confirmed catching it without having new update
