    Can we only get those from eggs

    Kangaskhan is region exclusive to Australia, Tauros to N. America, and Farfetch'd to Asia (Mr. Mime for us). They can't be hatched here unless the egg was collected from one of those regions.

    There have been rumours that there will be trading in the future so hold on to your Mr. Mimes for trading with other regions.

    Was thinking there were way more gastlies than normal and caught only my 3rd cubone in the wild only for about 7 more to appear. Then I remembered the event.

    I got three Meowths on the way to work and thought I was lucky because they weren't mentioned as part of the event. Oh well, just meant I was able to evolve Persian quicker.

    I've already got 7 candies for Charmander this morning by walking him nearly to 3km yesterday and the rest this morning.

    I also went on a transfer cull of Weedles, Pidgeys, etc. to take advantage of the double transfer candies.

    This event has really stimulated the game again for me, despite the abundance of crappy pokemon for it.

    I wonder will the trading actually work as trading internationally though? I wonder if it may be implemented as trading between players within each others radius, like using the cable on the old gameboys? It would be chappy if that's what happens but I wouldn't be surprised either.

    Can anyone confirm the double candies for egg hatches? Might splash out on a few incubators..

    Yes, got 39 candies from a 5km egg with a NidoranM this morning. Hatched 2 other 5km eggs but don't remember their exact candy values, definitely over 20 though.

    I hatched a geodude from a 2k this morning. Not sure exactly how much candy I got but it was a lot.

    I see there's a Taurus and a Kangaskhan in gyms here today, so you might want to avoid gyms if you don't want them showing in your pokedex!

    Where? I actually would like to have them on the pokedex!

    that's without the 6 Marrowhack i've caught having never had one , kept the best of the bunch so far 1150 cp (power it up to just over 1200) with rock smash and earthquake , will be a handy man for taking softer gyms and training.

    Still a ways to go on my Dragonair walking though up to 32 candies after my walk into work this morning , hoping to get it done by Sunday

    Snorlax is still the only pokémon I've yet to hatch

    I'm fairly over the ghost spawns. Nobody needs moe than one gengar, hypno or marowak do they?

    Having to restart the app every five minutes is testing my patience.

    Tauros was in the double tower gym near Railway Square, Kangaskhan was in the Manor Court Clock Tower.

    Wish it told you how many candies you were getting on egg hatches, I can never remember how many I had! Have 6 Dratini candies since this morning though, and hope to have another 4 or 5 by the end of the day.

    Just got my 2nd ever 10k egg this morning, what a time to get it! Might buy coins for an incubator as well.

    You mean you don't have a spreadsheet synced to your Dropbox account keeping track of all the Pokemon you're awaiting candies on to evolve? Newb!! :pac:

    anyone seeing more Grimers than usual yet?

    I haven't even seen one today :( I'm also waiting on more candies to evolve a Grimer to a Muk. I didn't think Grimers were going to be part of the increased spawn rate though or are you asking just in case?

    Lovely, I pass these everyday hitting up Pokestops. Hopefully they're still there after 15.30!

    Picked up three voltorbs in Stephen's Green :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭Eirebull


    Has anyone seen a single weedle today? They appear to have vanished!

    I've gone one further. I find the distance to walk with a buddy (e.g. 20 candies at 3km = 60km) and the distance I've already walked (e.g. 200km) and number I've caught/hatched (e.g. 10) and work out the rate at which I expect to catch enough in the wild (20 candies is 5 catches which should take 100km). The higher the ratio of catching walking distance to buddy walking distance (1.6 in this example), the more likely I should use them as a buddy.

    My Charmander is the highest at 19.6. Nidoran (f) is lowest at 0.6.

    Replaced by Drowzee globally I think. I saw a caterpie, a rattata and a couple of Pidgees. And a million Gastlies.

    Pikachu ready to evolve now. On to Diglett!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,197 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    This Halloween thing is sort of annoying. I evolved my first marowak about 3 days ago. Caught about 5 cubone and 1 marowak this morning already. And an egg hatched and I get a fúcking cubone.
    Same with meowths, catching loads and I hatch a meowth.

    What are people buddying with? Assume it's something you rarely see? I'm going with a machop
