You can fill up on pokeballs by getting someone to drive you around town where there's loads of pokestops. Just select the pokestop before you get there so you can spin it before you miss it.

I've driven St Helens road in Swansea so much in the last month purely so my Mrs can collect pokeballs for us both.

Had a level 25 Chap own 6 gyms nearby.
Each of them with a Dragonite with 200+ CP

Then whilst hitting some pokestops at the park, one of his gyms was under attack.. looking around there was nobody there, i went round and round looking for someone hiding in a hedge or under the bench, but nothing, no one, anywhere.

after the battle was over it ended up being 3 people from my team as they all put in 2000+ cp Dragonites .. without ever being anywhere near the park.

cheaters battling cheaters rolleyes

I expect the banhammer to fall swiftly upon them

I've never seen any of those red/blue/purple cube things out here in Aberdeenshire, both at work and home.

inverurie has a few.

town hall, war memorial, weird fish statue by the public toilet, inverurie garden centre, masonic hall, church next to craigdon, 2 in kellands park, kintore arms.

luckily the traffic is crap going home so i can tag 6-7 on my way home.

the park in westhill is hoaching.
Quite a few in Inverurie and a few at Pitmedden Gardens etc....Basically anywhere of historical significance should have one.

I stopped actively playing about a week ago and i don't think i'm alone in that. Seemed for a while everyone in my home town was playing it, but now i barely see anyone. I've kept it on my phone to see what updates come though in the hope that at some point an update would add a system showing roughly where Pokemon are.

I saw an update had come through this morning so i keenly read what's new and....

.... safe to say if a building were on fire, Niantic would be boasting about the gas oven they were currently installing.

There needs to be a bot type solution where your avatar can auto wonder about but it can't farm Pokestops or hatch eggs.

Completely agree on the Gyms. You should only get 3 Pokemon to use and it should be a 1 on 1 battle. Random Pokemon selected from the gym and then you can select a Pokemon to face them. You get 3 goes and if you win a match you kick that Pokemon out of the gym.

Quite enjoying the fact a lot of casual players have stopped playing, and the new appraisal feature has been a great addition, proof that they're listening to the dedicated player base!

New tracker actually works quite well too, you can actually search for them again when they pop up.

It helps you decide which Pokemon to evolve, the one with the highest CP doesn't always have the highest potential. It's still not as good as using an online IV checker though.


I hit 120 in the Pokedex today, but new ones are getting harder to find. Still need things like a Snorlax which will either need to come out of a 10km egg or I'll just have to be really really lucky.

Is there a level where you start getting 10km eggs? I'm about to hit level 16 (I only really play at the weekends, if at all) and have yet to find a 10km egg...

You're just unlucky. I had loads before level 20. None between 20 and 22, then 3 recently.

Still no Snorlax or Lapras for me. I have one on the burn at the minute, so staying hopeful. The game has gone stale though now, I'll only load up for my 6 year old when we're out and about in town or if I walk or cycle somewhere.

One of the first eggs I got was a 10km egg... luck of the draw.

I still haven't got a pidegeot... I've seen two and both ran away. I am too busy farming pidgeys to evolve a pidgeotto though.

Sat in a magnemite spawn with a lure going last night and caught quite a few of those.
