I was feeling a bit salty as I was two candy off from evolving my porygon and I didn't even have a good one to evolve then bam a wonder. Instant evolve. Feelsgoodman. There goes my only rare evolution item though...

Have 41 of the 100 Johto Pokémon

Was at the arcade by the pier and saw a Mantine on the nearby so rushed for that. Then saw a Bayleef just down the road. Then a Slugma, then a Snubbull, then a Granbull, then a Stantler, then a Wobbuffet. That escalated so fast

To purchase all the male clothing in Pokémon GO, you need 11,070 Poké Coins. To purchase all female clothing, you need 12,080 Poké Coins.

Went to farm some Machop so I have added Machamp to the Dex. I tried Pinab berry to help, but that was worthless. One added two candy, one didn't add any.
Saw a Dragonite on a tracker, but even with that he escaped my grasp. It was somewhere in the middle of a field and he never did appear on the game tracker. It remains however a good tool to confirm nests and rate IV. It was a 0/1/2 Dragonite.

And I hatch a Dratini. Of-freaking-course.

Why would they let legacy moves deal MORE damage than the new moves? So people who got lucky before get even luckier. It doesn't make sense!

They really need to let you seperate your pokemon, we should have tabs where it says All, Kanto and Jhoto, for the pokedex as well.

yeah id like it if they let you make categories you can put your pokemon into like if you get shinies you could put them in a shiny category or if you have iv perfect pokemon you could group them together ect ect

To make them not useless of course. But they were move changes for all who had that move anyways. Plus other moves got buffed

Edit: not only do you get extra candy for evolved Pokemon you catch, but more stardust too.

Edit 2: seems all gen 1 Pokemon have been made slightly easier to catch.

40/70 after 2 nights. Still not sure if anything I've caught is rare yet, still a bit early to say.

Rarest I've caught so far based on the last 2 nights would be Larvitar, Sneasel, Foretress, Gligar and Suudowoodo.

They could have sold more pokecoins since people would need more stardust and candy for their new fangled dragons. Now I won't even bother evolving Dratini's and hatching 10k eggs asap after they nerfed Dragonite and Lapras.

Edit: and Gyarados gets Dragon Tail while Dragon Breath got buffed lol

Edit2: Charizard gets Fire Spin and Air Slash now, both better than Ember and Wing Attack, so it's not like they're consistent about it either.
 
Got Sudowoodo yesterday and found a Sneasel on the way home.

Day 2 of Ariados running away from me twice, and I spotted a Houndoom and Wobuffet on the radar but couldnt get to it.

I was in the car (don't worry officer, I was a passenger) and I was able to go into battle with Stantler while we stopped. The area we were in must have had shitty service because it froze after I got it into the ball, then I got an ERROR and it backed out into the overworld with no Stantler in sight. Kind of shitty but I guess I'll see it again.

Move experts, my Charizard that I evolved 2 days ago has Air Slash and Fire Blast. My Venasaur has Vine whip and Solar Beam. I just want to know if these are good movesets? As I doubt I will be getting anymore Charizard or Vemasaur for a long time.

Snagged another two Grimers and I'm up to 48 Candy. Not bad since I was at 3 candy when the previous event started. Just have to walk 6 more KM. So close.

Also had a productive Generation 2 day, I'm up to 32. Chikorita, Sentret, Furret, Hoothoot, Ledyba, Ledian, Spinarak, Ariados, Crobat, Chinchou, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Natu, Xatu, Marill, Azumarill, Sudowoodo, Hoppip, Aipom, Wooper, Murkrow, Wobbuffet, Snubbull, Swinub, Piloswine, Remoraid, Mantine, Houndour, Smoochum, Elekid.

Wasted my two strong Eevee before I knew how you evolve Espeon and Umbreon so that sucks, because who wants a 2500 Vaporeon and a 2200 Jolteon, I'll need to find two good Eevee before I waste the trick. Didn't find a good parking spot at the Houndour nest and couldn't stop at the SUnkern nest. Oh well, aiming for 40 tomorrow.

My Venasaur with Sludge Bomb hates your Venasaur.

Your Charizard has a good moveset but Overheat is a better move than Fireblast. Having Air Slash rather than Ember as its quick move makes it a better defender against water type attackers.

Ah right, thanks.
 
I hit up my downtown hot spot for 3 hours today. There's a 12 pokestop loop route that I run that takes roughly 6 mins at a brisk pace.

192 in the dex so far. I managed to nab 3 evolve items today: 1 each of the Sun Stone, Kings Rock, and Metal Coat. Used them to get Bellosom, Slowking, and Scizor.

I hit A LOT of pokestops today, probably around 200, so these are very rare drops. Today was also my 7th day streak and supposedly that increases the chances of a drop. I didn't check at the time, but I never saw the Sun Stone drop so maybe that's where I got it from.

Gligar and Mantine were my most significant catches. Mantine doesn't seem too rare, I saw 2 back to back along the riverfront where Magikarp, Dratini, Slowpoke, and Psyduck always spawn.

I also saw a shadow on the way home with no stops nearby. He vanished after about 2 mins. No idea what it was, it was small though. Really hope it wasn't a Larvitar.

Feels like gen 2 is easier so far.

My god, why Niantic hasn't done anything to ban the hell out of those hackers invading gyms! Level 35 dudes kicking me out over and over and it pisses me off they are all wearing those fancy and expensive clothes thanks to the thousands of coins they have gotten without walking real steps, this sucks. I want to go back and play Pokémon Go but this is ultra annoying :'(

How do you know they're hacking?

I took a lvl. 10 mystic gym down yesterday and left it blank. Five minutes later someone who was in the gym previously claimed it again. This has happened dozens of times before with the same account. 🤔

On my way to get my little brother his birthday gift, I got four new dex entries. From eggs, I got Gligar (10K) and Phanpy (5K). In the wild, I found a Piloswine. And I got a lucky Up-Grade from a Poké Stop and got myself a Porygon2. There was also a Sneasel on the radar, but it was a bit out of the way. I even found a Dratini!

Wow, Blissey is a defensive monster. Someone dropped her into a local gym and I can barely take her down before the timer runs out.

Oh yeah, I've had issues with gym takedowns by people who obviously aren't in the area since I'm standing at the gym and there's clearly no-one around. I report them repeatedly. Not sure if it works, but it is satisfying at least.

I caught a Snorlax today so that means only Omastar and Muk left for my Jhoto pokedex, I have both Grimer and Omanyte, at 21 and 33 candy respectively. Feels good that Ive essentially completed the Jhoto pokedex.

Facepalm. Replace Jhoto with Kanto.
