Hmmm... Four x level 40 players mind you.

I've had a good run out of the 1/3 distance eggs, hatched a chansey with a load of candies, and then two togepi in a row. So that's now a blissey and togetic within buddy walking distance.

Buddy candy also 1/3 distance at the moment, although that probably ends tomorrow too with the double XP???

It ends tonight (well, 1am tomorrow).
I've been grinding a lot during this event, will probably take a break after this is over... well until Moltres comes out biggrin

Yellow berries on Pidgeys, Weedles and Catapies?

I might just about have enough for 2 lucky eggs, with all the other assorted stuff I've collected along the way.

I've been using the Pinap berries on most things which take 12 and 25 candies to evolve, have been keeping the Pogo+ on at work to get lots of items laugh

Finally got a Hitmonchan this morning, so I now have everything from Gen 1 except the Regional and Legendary ones.

Of what I can walk for Gen 2, I need a couple more Pineco candies, about 90 Mareep candies, and then to hatch a willing Tyrogue for Hitmontop.

I will also need an Unown, Girafig and Milktank.

But I'm getting there...

I had a great lunchtime session today - my first day in London for a few weeks as I've been on holiday.

Loads of Unown (I htink I can spell Europe) and loads of Kangaskhan (I think I have some very good IV ones - will check later). And then, to top it off, a wild Forretress appeared as I was by St Paul's Cathedral.

But I am having problems capturing the legendaries. I have several Articuno, and Zapdos on one account. But no Moltres so far (problem with being away for a few weeks). And Lugia has now run away from me every single time on 12 separate occasions! Thankfully the event has been extended for a couple of weeks to give me more chance.

I feel like this is getting a bit stale again..
An event that spawns some of the rarer beasts and reduced time for buddy walking and hatching is desperately needed again.

Opened it up for the first time since April. No idea what's going on. Gyms are all different and weird. I got a free raid pass... guessing that's something to do with legendaries?

I am actually hoping they don't bring out MewTwo raids immediately - they sound even harder work than the current legendaries and might be just enough to make me quit the game.

I have finally got all the current legendaries on both (sons') accounts but they took a lot of effort, particularly Lugia where I had 1/9 successful catches on each account.

The Unown and Kangaskhan event was briefly interesting. I've almost got a complete Pokedex - just Ampharos (and some region specific) to go, I think. I could do with a few weeks of just waling and catching stuff. Although londonpogomaps having finished is a real pain as that was great for hunting down the rare stuff where I would otherwise have passed close by without knowing.

I think I'm going to have to settle for shadows in the Pokedex for the legendaries.

I've managed to be in the right place to win an Articano raid, but didn't catch it. That gave me a shadow, and apparently if you complete a raid (even losing) you get the shadow.

I'm rural, so the chances of having 10 people together to take one down is slim to none.

I have an Ampharos, Girafig, Milktank, Unown and Hitmontop to go, from the normal stuff.

Got everything I can get apart from the regionals that haven't been over here yet, but not hopeful on getting an invitation to a MewTwo raid as I don't generally bother raiding that much any more.

Can't be bothered with the raiding cobblers and haven't seen anything new for what feels like months.
I've still got plenty of gaps in the 'Dex too..

I know the feeling! We created a local Facebook/messenger group to assist in alerting trainers and organising times etc, works a treat. Why not give that a try?

All but given up now. A trip to Madeira gave a welcome Magikarp & Dratini/Dragonair boost (something like 400 Magikarp and 75 Dratini candy - didn't see a Pidgey all week!) but since then I've not seen one single new Pokemon in the wild and I've not seen a raid I'd be interested in for weeks; they are either ones I already have or are 20,000+ XP and there's no-one else about to help.

I try to maintain my streaks (how about some notification on streak length, Niantic?) but there are some days I don't even bother. I don't see me getting 715,000 XP to make it to the next level any time soon!

I've done the same - I'm a member of a couple of messenger/whatsapp groups to help organise raids. I've got all the legendaries as a result - wouldn't have had a hope if I'd just turned up at raids and hoped for the best.
