I have loads of evolves ready to go, just waiting for a good time over the next day or two to plonk myself at a lure, use my lucky egg and rack up some xp.

I have seven 5km eggs on the go at the moment - really want a high CP Abra, and still need Porygon, Lickitung, Exeggecute, Grimer and Cubone. And I'm one catch away from evolving Ekans and Magnemite.
No doubt I'll get multiple Shellders, Venonat or Paras.

4 5k eggs between yesterday and this morning and I hatch a shelder psyduck and 2 goldeens is somebody taking the piss.

It's the worst when multiple eggs hatch and you get rubbish. Had 6 eggs hatch today, all stuff I already have and not even high cp

20000mah takes a lot of charging... whoever tacked on a solar charger to it was having a laugh unless it's the size of a hang glider!

I'd say do it at home and aim to evolve 60+ Pokemon, preferably have them organised to minimise scrolling too. You can get up to 70 and beyond evolves if you only do Weedle or Pidgey. It takes around 25-30 seconds to evolve a Pokemon which will give you 500xp.

It can take a lot longer to catch a Pokemon that will only give you 100xp. Granted you can get up to 700xp if it's a new Pokemon but will that be the best use of time. Will you be able to catch it in less than 42 seconds and get back to evolving?

60 is a lot of pokemon to evolve, even with pidgies you would need to have caught 195 pidgies to have enough candy to evolve 60. It is probably the most efficient way to do it but I'd say try to do both, I've about 30 ready to evolve and will pop a lucky egg soon enough and sit myself down near some pokestops, maybe with a lure.

Also eggs are worth a fair bit of xp, 100x the km so a 10km egg gives 1000xp so if you can coincide that its ideal.

A lot of people giving out about what they are getting from eggs, while I know we all want to get a new high cp pokemon people seem to ignore the candies which are to me very important too. I've got 20 or so candy from some eggs which is quite valuable for rareish pokemon.

I'm with Kavrocks on this one, forget about the lure and evolve in your sitting room. It's a waste of a lure imho, evolving takes too long.

Got my 5th 10k egg today at level 14. Are people really having trouble finding them? Iv nearly always got 1 on the go.

I got 3 so far and I'm level 20. 2 Eevee which isn't too bad, but a 500cp Hitmonlee which is pretty much useless.

SpaceCowb0y · 08-08-2016 05:32PM

I havent got one 10K egg yet. i'm also having a tough time finding decent pokemon, or at least enough to get an evolve. i've only managed to eveolve 1 Eevee and that got me an 883CP Jolteon, I have a 440CP Eevee now but only 2 candees it will be an age before i can evolve it, i never find Eevee out my way. Also i see it is an XS weight Eevee, does anyone know if this really matters?

at9qu5vp0wcix7 · 08-08-2016 05:40PM

I never use lucky eggs with lures anymore - simply because I don't have time to make use of the lure. My last lucky egg yielded 57k xp - 55 pokemon evolved, 2 of which were new to the pokedex.

Adam1100 · 08-08-2016 05:44PM

A bit frustrated with the game. Said there was a pontya nearby. Went around the estate looking but no sign of it. How am I supposed To find it? Only need one to evolve.

I got electrabuzz,aerodactyl,scyther and magmar. I surely have to get a dud 10k this time. a pretty decent haul from them so far.

I'll give you a 10k egg yes but how do you hatch one sitting at a lure and will you be as fast evolving Pokemon while walking as sitting down to make the 10k egg worthwhile?

60 isn't a lot if you have patience. It also only costs 10 candies to evolve a Pidgey or Weedle if you transfer them once evolved. Personally, by evolving at home it means I can still play at home and don't always have to be out.

Galway CC is useless for WiFi. I couldn't get a steady connection in three hours.
Out in Connemara now but there's absolutely nothing here. Neither an aoibhí nor a pidí in sight.

aoibhí I love it

SpaceCowb0y · 08-08-2016 10:08PM

i keep running out of Pokeballs, used 7 and a razzberry trying to catch a Slowpoke (which i've never caught) and still didn't catch i'm, then just as i got back to my car i missed out on a wild Ponyta, Polywag, Manky (which i've never caught) and Nidoran all right in the one spot. Disaster.

Also just hatched 2 5k eggs and got two 450 Seels, little bit shit but i'm only 4 candees away from evolving a Seel now though so that's cool.

evolutionqy7 · 08-08-2016 11:59PM

New update out for android and seems there might be one for the fruity bretherins too.

I've no intention of ever using the "solar" panels as a means of charging!

jamescd · 09-08-2016 12:30AM

Some pretty useless changes again in the update, like the grass behind the pokemons in the "Sightings" list. But at least they giving out XP again for Nice, Great and Excellent throws.

SureYWouldntYa · 09-08-2016 01:12AM

Just hatched a Snorlax there, and according to thesilphroad's iv calculator it's a perfect 'mon

Chuffed with that, hopefully I can finally start to defend a gym

nope the fact you can only drop one mon while people can use 6 to smash yours means you'll never defend it proper

Ah but if I join one with a few decent pokemon already on it or other good pokemon join my one you may well hold it for a while

Never held one long enough to cash out twice on the same place

There was a gym in wicklow town which was full of high CP pokemon. I leveled it up and stuck mine in and said it will take someone a while to take it dowm.

It was gone by 6PM that day. Its nearly impossible to hold a gym for 2 collections.

They should really limit attacker to number of pokemon in the gym.

I had one with my 2900+ dragonite, with someone 3k, snorlaxs, vaporeons and flaroeons, minimum was about 2k, taken down within an hour.

Penny Tration · 09-08-2016 07:47AM

Tbh gyms will always be taken down quickly cause even with 5+ strong pokemon in them, the person fighting the gym and keep beating one, healing their Pokémon and start again til they're all gone.

Niantic have some people in the states testing a beta tracker, so far it seems pretty good!

Anyone know what the new "sighting" is like?

Can't seem to notice anything from it in terms of telling me where the nearby Pokémon might be
