I got a Tyrogue out of an egg which I can evolve, I just need another 9 candies.

Walking my Flaffy at the moment, only another 65 candies to go there.

I keep looking for raids that I can do to get a couple of rare candies, which can certainly help.

We need new monsters or an proper event now. I'm getting a little bored.

Me too - last one that I need barring the regional specifics and legendaries.

I keep sticking my Mareep in a gym and chucking all my spare berries at him. Very occaisionally it gives back a Mareep candy as well as the 20 stardust.

Valid idea, I need someone to knock my Pikachu in a hat out of my Secret Gym, where he has sat pretty much since the start of the new Gym Method.

A countdown on him suggests he might be kicked out automatically tomorrow though, so we'll see. He's had 141 treats. hehe

Latest announcement:

Niantic said:
With cool autumn nights quickly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and sunny spring days arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate the coming equinox with an in-game event. New seasons mean new adventures!

From 1:00 P.M. PDT on September 22 to 1:00 P.M. PDT on October 2, 2017, you’ll have the opportunity to earn double Stardust for catching Pokémon and hatching Eggs as you walk around your neighborhood discovering new sights. While you’re out exploring, be sure to visit your local PokéStops and Gyms to collect special 2 km Eggs that have the opportunity to hatch Pokémon such as Chansey, Mareep, Larvitar, and more. You’ll also be able to get special boxes from the in-game shop that feature items like Lucky Eggs, Lure Modules, and all-new Super Incubators which hatch Eggs 1.5 times quicker!

Registering a new Pokémon to your Pokédex during this limited-time celebration will earn you triple the normal XP. So that makes this a very good time to battle against the Legendary Pokémon originally from the Johto region. Don’t forget that Raikou, Entei, or Suicune will each travel to a new part of the world on September 30, so make sure to battle the Legendary Pokémon currently in your area while you can!

^ Nice catch, well done.

When does the event end?

It's not been one of the best, although I'm not a very heavy player. I've managed to get a couple of Larvitars, a Tyrogue (and so a Hitmontop) and a Mareep (meaning I now only need 42 candies for an Ampharos).

I've also managed to get 5 x 10km eggs which should be useful. With the extra Dust I've got a Vaporean powered right up, and a few others moved along nicely, but really, 2 x Dust isn't enough to make me excited.

How was it for everyone else?

Haven't played this game in months, said I would download it again once Mewtwo was released. How does Mewtwo appear? Is it random or part of an event? Thanks

Event ends today at 9pm. Got a decent amount of stardust but it's such a grind...
0/2 caught so far on Suicune, but not really that bothered as it's around for a whole month and not even as good as Vaporeon.

You better get downloading now then! Mewtwo raids are invite only and you'll need to have completed a raid at a gym previously to get an opportunity. It's out in certain areas in the UK but not in central London yet though.

Thanks, I'll download this tonight. The church next door to me is/was also a gym which I could attack from my living room so I'll raid that too.

Next would be to get hold of Mew. Ah this brings back some memories

The MewTwo thing is annoying (bitter, moi?)

Lots of people in my local raid chat group got invitations to a MewTwo raid last Sunday and I didn't. We worked out that it was all down to one specific Entei raid at that gym about three weeks earlier. I had raided at that gym (got a Zapdos for certain) but hadn't done that particular raid.

Worse, many of my raids are in London where I work most days during the week. I am guessing that I will get invited to a MewTwo raid at some point, but it will be in London on a Sunday morning when I have no realistic hope of getting up to London for it.

I think it's a rubbish system too, even though I've got one. Several members of our group missed out because they hadn't raided at the specific gym and another got an invite to Birmingham instead, because he happened to do a raid there during the Kangaskhan event.

Anyone else only getting two items from some of their Pokestops?

Not an ideal way to encourage people to play more as the weather turns bad and people inevitably play less.

It does seem to have dropped off for me too, although I don't do it much now. As you say, not exactly motivating.

I just logged on after the update (three logins before it worked properly) to be met with a Houndoom just over the road. Never seen one before! Then 30 seconds later a new (well specced but low level) Shuppet appeared, followed by the texture from my trainer disappearing. I suspect that wasn't intentional. From the vignette, it looks like there is a Duskull around here somewhere.

Yep. I got nearly enough candy to evolve a duskull already. Caught a sableye too. And something else on the sightings.

Pokedex goes from 250 all the way to 350 so plenty more to catch!

Well, only 5 new Gen 3 ones to catch right now.
And a Pikachu with a different hat smile
