Pretty sure it was a pokestop, guess I'll have to start detouring for pokestops again.
You can name the Eevee Sakura for Espeon and Tamao for Umbreon (only works once, I think? Not sure).
From what thesilphroad is investigating it seems possible that for Espeon and Umbreon, beyond the naming trick for your first evolution, the evolution works by walking with an Eevee set as a buddy for 10km and evolving it for Espeon during the day and Umbreon during the night, but I think whether that's not a massive coincidence is not yet proven by 100%. Would be supported by game code still randomizing only between Flareon/Vaporeon/Jolteon.

You need a Sun Stone for Sunkern.
They should retcon them onto then gen 1 Pokemon though, if only for consistency.

I plan on a 10 hour marathon walk tomorrow with pit stops to charge my phone and portables. I'll report back with how many I get, because I will mostly be doing the pokestop area in my town with a few detours to swarms.

My first trip:
whew that was fun.
whew that was fun.
It is a insult to Pidgeys to compare them to Swinubs. Pidgeys are atleast useful when they spawn a lot since they are the most effective way to get exp thanks to there low evolution requirements.
Dont mind swinubs right now since it will make getting the ice gold medal much quicker.

This is great. Doesn't quite feel like it did when the game first came out, but a lot of people at work have opened it up for the first time in ages and are having fun catching new stuff. I think variety is the true key in this game - makes tracking worth it, makes hunting for nests and new spawns worth it.
I'm playing by only catching basic stage pokemon. I'm going to get all the candy I need to evolve everything gen 2 at once with a lucky egg to get that double XP evolution / new pokedex entry combo. I wish I had done that first time round!

Just took down a lvl. 10 gym. That took much more time and effort to take down than before.
Hydro Pump OHKOs same level Jolteons now. 😂 Dragon Pulse also does a buttload but it's more manageable because it's easier to dodge. Hydro Pump, Stone Edge, Body Slam, Dragon Claw are almost instantaneous. Body Slam Snorlax is a monster. Wish I had a decent Machamp but both have Bullet Punch.

Why are Swinub everywhere?!

maybe it's the new rattatta?
In Miami there are plenty of Spinaraks and Sentrets. Each of them are on nearby across from my campus.

Snubbull is king here in Arizona. Like, Pidgey level.

where did you get it from a pokestop?
saw a bunch pop up as well on the nearby list here in southern california as well its just raining sideways so didnt go after them but he looks common
edit: after posting this one just popped up for me from my incense
Yes! It felt like I spun a crap load of them to get that item. (A mall in Miami called The Falls)
I'm in Dublin. Seen a lot of sentrets too.

It's not exactly a common Pokemon in-game though, it's basically the new Drowzee for me. I've seen more Swinub and Natu than I have Hoothoot.
Bedameister

Saw no Spinark
Plenty of Sentret. About the same amount as Swinub. Natu also everywhere as well as Murkrow
Haven't seen Mareep, Sunkern, Snubbull or Teddiursa just for comparison
WhiteRabbitEXE
Member
Snubbull, Sentret, and Hoothoot are very common here. Murkrow is fairly close. After that probably Houndour, then drop a bit down to Natu. Slugma is very common in parts, but rare in other parts. Spinarak is not quite uncommon, Ladyba is uncommon but not super rare. Got s couple Sunkern. Never seen a Swinub or Mareep.

So you can find the starters randomly then?
Last night I got a decent haul, Espeon and Umbreon, Sentret, a few Hoppip, a few Natu, one Swinub, Hoothoot, Spinarak, Ledyba, Ledian and a few Wooper.
I forgot Gen 2 has a bunch of either single stage or one evo Pokemon so it should be relatively easy to get a majority of them pretty easily.
Can anyone catch me up on Exclusives or other things people found? I'll add them to the OP today.

I wouldn't say everywhere - in many places Drowzee was/is extremely rare. Apparently the case is the same for Swinub.

they are doing exclusives again? gross
WhiteRabbitEXE
Member
Looks like Heracross is the only one from gen 2. Just joining the other 4.
Of course it was one I was looking forward to...
PSFan

Why would anyone even say that at this point? Gen II literally just released. At least wait a day or two before accusing a seemingly rare pokemon as being exclusive.
WhiteRabbitEXE
Member
There's more than enough people providing data points to be sure at this point.
So I guess Europe is Swinub town now, eh. At least Swinubs are better than Drowzees.
Millions of people are playing this game around the globe, it's different from other games. If Heracross spawns quite often in South Florida and Brazil is flooded with them, yet there were no sightings outside of South America it's most likely regional. Hard to say with 100% certainty yet, but very probable.

I still don't accept it yet. There's a handful of Gen I Pokemon I have never seen in the wild around my area yet hatched several.
And I've never hatched or seen a Hitmonchan yet despite playing since day 1 and I know it's not exclusive to anywhere.
