That is all he can get iirc. Mew and Mewtwo are not available yet.

Wife is already level 23 with over 100 in the 'dex after only playing 2 1/2 weeks. I am also lvl 23 but only have 99 in the 'dex and have been playing 3 weeks longer frown
Wow! I think we've been at it about 10 weeks and my 'Dex is still only at 97, with Mrs B about a dozen behind!

We were surprised yesterday when a Pikachu popped up at lunchtime! Yay!

My friend is on 140/142, games still interesting but I'm not rushing out to play it, more casual now.

Nope, 151 total and the unavailable ones are Mew, Mewtwo, the three legendary birds and Ditto. Add to that the three regionals we can't get in Europe (Tauros, Kangaskhan and Farfetch'd) and 142 is the maximum possible UK total. I'm on 137 and just can't be bothered anymore, I could get Golem, Alakazam and Omastar fairly easily but then I'd be relying on luck and/or eggs to get Chansey and Snorlax which I'm just not interested in doing.

How are there so many snorlax's?

Every gym around where I am (City) seems to have multiple Snorlax's & Dragonites often +3,000CP....

Rare spawns are more frequent than they used to be, if one spawns at a fairly decent time/location loads of people could catch it. I've got 3 in the last week, all below 600cp! Still not seen a Dragonite though.

Yeah I've noticed that there seems to be rarer pokemon about now. There's still a lot of rats, weedles etc but I see a lot more stuff like cubones, koffings, growlithes etc about now.

I'm on 131 and it's just a grind now to find the things that I need. There are no starter pokemon spawns within 20 miles of me so it doesn't look like I'll be getting a Charizard or Venasuar any time soon.

Gotcha smile

We both caught a Snorlax recently at a local park, and Mrs 8 has hatched two in the last couple of days!

Golem is attainable, if you set Geodude as your buddy you get 1 candy every 1km smile

For me I've only caught one Grimer and 2 Cubones, haven't found any nests for those yet... everything else looks attainable. As for the rare ones I'm missing Hitmonchan, Lickitung and Aerodactyl. Was driving along the other day (wasn't playing, just had the screen open) and saw a Snorlax shadow so pulled up in a side street just to catch it hehe

Same near me. I'd love to know where their are finding them as i have never found a wild or egg snorlax and dratinis are pretty rare. I did find out that there are some trackers online like pokefind used to be which is really helping me sus an area out before I waste hours trying to find things.

That's what I've done. I got a Clefairy that way as well. Only takes 22km to get Geodude to Evolve but I assume it then takes 100km to get a Golem.

The blacked out version in your sightings when you haven't seen/caught one before

I'm taking my son to London next weekend, he's convinced he'll catch a lot of Pokémon. Anyone Londoners got any suggestions where might be good to go? I was thinking of walking along the bank of the Thames from Tower Bridge towards the London Eye, as at least I'll be able to have a nose at the Belfast. Then to London Zoo so there's something else to do while 'hunting'. But I'm open to suggestions!

Have been told Greenwich park is a hotbed for everything, with blackheath at the top of the hill being a known charmander spawn zone

If I have free time at lunch, I tend to go for a walk down to the Tower and then across Tower Bridge and along the south side to London Bridge.

The Tower has lots of Pokestops near the main entrance which are often lured and I caught quite a lot of good stuff tehere. And the Pokestops on the south side of the river also seem to have lures set a lot of the time.

The spawns have all changed, read the Reddit thread to see where everything is now. But in general all the parks have decent stuff.

Used to be... now an Abra nest it seems.

Loads of stuff along the Southbank from Tower Bridge right down to Vauxhall. Make sure you go South of the river, as it's a far more pleasant walk than the pavement along the Embankment, there's far more actual stuff to see, and better Pokemon too.

If he's still got the legs when you get to Westminster, cross over Westminster bridge and walk straight ahead past the HoP and you'll get into the bottom end of St James Park, from where you can go right up through Green Park and Hyde Park, with Pokemon all over the place, no traffic, and guaranteed knackered offspring at the end of it.
