Shaoxter is sending gifts from Dubai, so if you're after eggs for the Pilot medal, be aware.

I feel there is a discussion required on the new walking stuff, I've attached to the Google Fit thingy, but only have a phone, no watch or anything. What is it counting vs not counting?

Which FitBit thingy do I need to be asking for in my Xmas list to get best benefit?

Very observant smile I'm here for another 4 days. Not seen a single Torkoal though, but I have it in my dex already via a trade so they won't show up as prominently on the nearby.

I'm also levelling up friendships with some of you tomorrow (Saturday), planning to do it at 10am as it's the start of the Gengar raids.

For someone like me who does a lot of treadmill running, Adventure Sync is brilliant.

On my Android phone, I installed Google Fit - which I then setup to record a treadmill run. When I finished, the app had measured the distance I ran to within 50 metres (on a 6K run, I thought that was pretty decent accuracy).

Opened up Pokemon Go, and it had given me the full 6K distance towards an egg hatch. As a bonus you get weekly rewards for the distance you've covered.

Yeah, even pottering about the house today got me 1.2k when before I would get zilch from that. I tend to walk about 30-50k a week normally but PGo would only ever see about 3-5k of it before adventure sync.

Since earlier in the week, I have found it a little sporadic with its awarding of distance. Completed a treadmill run earlier that Google Fit measured at 5K... and half an hour later, its given me nothing at all in Pokemon Go. Perhaps Niantic have realised, or perhaps I've misselected the type of activity I wanted it to track.

Just to reply to my own post - I read a blog that suggests Pokemon Go will only record your treadmill steps/distance if Google Fit calculates that you ran at 10.5KPH or less. This means I missed 12KM of steps/distance last week because I ran too fast smile

It seems like they've nerfed the weekly distance reward. Was looking forward to topping things up, and 4 Rare Candy.

Gutted.

In other news, if BobAgge and Zadmeister are on here, we're about to become best friends, and moltythefrog, we're close too.

When suits for egg dropping?

Yep I'm here. I'm not really on at regular times to be honest, it varies from day to day really.

Here, been travelling a bit recently though which is good for picking up spins etc. but not so good for getting time to do gifts every day.

On CET so any time in the evening will probably suit. I only have 1 Lucky Egg though.

Twas me, but no worries!

smile

Still looks like I need to organise with Zad and someone else.

Sort of worth it, but as I'm Level 39 anyway, there's no rush to 40 for me. I can already max stuff out.

How was the rebalance for everyone? I got over 150 extra CP on my level 36 Metagrosses...

Going to need a lot of Sinnoh Stones. Plus anyone worked out the two new Eevee evolutions yet?

He's cool. I am aiming for a couple of Rhyperions first, and then working through the rest.

What do we think are the most "worth having"?

A new mythical quest is out for Meltan. Unfortunately Professor Willows speech was 5 pages of corrupt gibberish but the tasks are there.

Its Meltan related. The first 3 tasks ( 1 of 9 it says!) are spin 5 stops / gyms, Catch 10 pokemon, transfer 5 pokemon.

I won't post the rest for spoiler reasons.

Some of these later tasks are nigh on impossible for a casual player TBH.
