What are people doing with the buddy bonus?

I had just put Dratini as my buddy before it started so I stuck with him as I don't come across many. Got my Dragonite on Friday, then set Voltorb as my buddy. Now I have Machoke as my buddy with 30 candies to go, although I don't think I'll get to 100 before it finishes.

Muk in my sightings but I'm more being the kids and pokemap is down. I'd be going nuts I'd didn't have one.

I've walked 77km so far. 67 went in to getting that Charizard, the next 10 with Ivysaur. I'm on about 75 bulba candy now, so might finish him off before the event ends, If I do, I'll be up to 136 on the dex, will walk one of, Machoke (75 candy), Execute (39), clefairy (15), grimer(22) or omanyte(35). Then hope I eventually hatch an aerodactyl, and I'll be done too!

As far as eggs are concerned I've 'only' hatched 386. Never hatched an awful lot of monst thou. Only hatched my first ever squirtle 2 hours ago!

As far as things being rare for me, I've never hatched clefairy, mr. mime, grimer, porygon aerodactly, or lapras

anyone know whats spawns in marley park

Magnemites in abundance. There is a Bulbasaur that spawns at the cafe near the house. A magicarp and staryu around the back of the lake. Odd psyduck or slowpoke too.

Eirebull · 30-10-2016 09:58PM

We only have 121 in the dex and have only hatched 143 eggs but we have never once used any outside sources for help nor spent a penny on the game so happy to be far behind. We have hatched an ivysaur, a raichu, a gloom, a charizard and a sandslash by using them as our buddy. Hoping to evolve a diglet before the event ends. Not been easy to choose!

Thinking of going to bull island tomorrow. Is it with dragging four children out there or will they be disappointed?

Funnily enough I am just back from a trip down there. I was in Clontarf for the evening, so couldn't resist a quick spin down the causeway road to see what was about. Saw a load of other cars driving in a similar manner to me, driving for a bit, then pulling over, then off again. I kept leapfrogging the same cars, so can only assume they were trainers.

The trip was only 20 minutes, but was well worth it. Two new entries to the Pokedex, Vulpix and Omanyte. As well as that, I also got a shedload of Magicarp, Horsea, Poliwag and Tentacool, a single Growlite and Kingler. There was a number of your regular type spawns, but funnily enough not a single Halloween ghost Pokemon. Other notably nearby listings were Ponyta and Diglett, but I was heading home at that point.

This was my second time to visit Bull Island and I will be making a third visit soon enough if I can.

90000+ steps later ... Nearly all gastlys drowsees and cubone.

These were the only deviation

I only caught a couple of dratini but this one will be my first dragonite now

CraigM84 · 31-10-2016 01:06AM

wow ive only just past my first 400 magi candies, waiting on the right carp now :eek:

and that carp :eek:

Tar.Aldarion · 31-10-2016 01:34AM

Dragonite got really **** moves but is by far my highest cp. First hydropump gyrados.

mahamageehad · 31-10-2016 09:38AM

Did a quick test this morning with Pikachu as my buddy, can confirm I got multiple candies. Got three in one go when it updated.

Mollyb60 · 31-10-2016 09:48AM

So the event is running till midnight tonight then? Or midnight on the first? I have a 10k in that I want to hatch before this ends. (please god don't let it be another Jynx).

What's wrong with that move set? Its not the absolute best, but it is the second best move set you could get.

It said Oct 26th-Nov 2nd. From a PR stance I am assuming inclusive of Wednesday.
(I need 9 candys on Duduo then got to work on Abra)

Re Tar Aldarion....... I was happy a few days back with finally getting a Karp over 150.....and you crush my happiness with you CP209 monster!

Tar.Aldarion · 31-10-2016 11:03AM

Dragonite was 2800 and gyar was 2200 before I pumped em up. Got them at level 30. Am 31 now.

The movesets is the third best attacking and second worst defending. I don't rate attacking movesets at all as you can beat anything with a few good attackers, your high cp stuff should sit in gyms with good defense. Hyper beam gives you do long to dodge.

Man I caught so many hundreds of Karp to find a good one, I caught 100 in NL in the last few days and none were good

Did you pay attention to the exact message?

It's not over until Wednesday? Ugh, please just make it stop already

Not exactly sure what you mean but I'll try anyways. It still said pikachu found a candy but the yellow candy icon on the right had +3 on it instead of +1.

Also, disappointed that the Halloween event included meowth but not gloom. Seriously?

Tradez89 · 31-10-2016 12:12PM

Was on 48 Voltorb candies so made him my buddy ended up catching 5 and hatching another in 5 mins

The Pokemon GO site states "Starting October 26 and lasting through November 1", which appears to mean all of November 1. If that is the case, then YAY for an extra day as I thought it was going to end the minute it turned November 1!

Is it weird that when I saw this screenshot on reddit I recognised the carp immediately but not the username?

Tar.Aldarion · 31-10-2016 01:28PM

Haha definitely signs of playing enough pokemon

silvervixen84 · 31-10-2016 01:33PM

Had a productive weekend. Squeezed in another visit to Green Park and collected loads more Charmanders and evolved a few Marowaks. Also walked Weepinbeel to get Victreebel and Omanyte to evolve Omastar. Then hatched a Tangela and two Grimers in a row so had enough candy to get Muk and now I've Squirtle as my buddy to get the last few candies for Blastoise.

Michael D Not Higgins · 31-10-2016 02:23PM

Jabba the Muk

AMGer · 31-10-2016 03:03PM

Muks Gunk Shot has to be the best move in the game. I know Arbok has it aswell but does it throw the rubbish bin?

Hatched another 26 eggs this morning bringing me up to 120 hatched since Thursday. Still no Grimer, it's bloody depressing to see some of you hatch back to back Grimers - but it has to happen eventually, I won't give up until I get the bas***d from an egg

Mcmuffin81 · 31-10-2016 03:26PM

Anybody any ideas about where I might catch a snorlax. I just need that and 17 grimer candies to get me up to 144

Calvin · 31-10-2016 04:17PM

A Gyarados just spawned down the park about 5 mins from me. Ran so fast but didn't get there on time

pickarooney · 31-10-2016 04:51PM

I have an ekans with gunk shot but have never had a chance to use it

mahamageehad · 31-10-2016 05:13PM

+1 on the egg issue by the way.
I hit 16 pokestops at lunch and got 2 eggs. The 3 I had incubating cracked (abra, goldeen and drowsee) so now those are the only 2 I have. I've already done 1.9 km of the 2km egg so it's pretty disappointing. I usually hit about 12 stops on the route home so let's see if I get a few more eggs then.

I'm pretty sure the initial facebook post included Nov 2nd. Oh well. Better cram my walking for Abra candy tomorrow!!!!!

pickarooney · 31-10-2016 07:08PM

18 more abra candies to go then. That would leave 10 more for the Dex, 5 of which depend on blind luck and hundreds of km of walking and the rest just the latter.

Michael D Not Higgins · 31-10-2016 07:21PM

Boom! Voltorb out of a 5k egg and I'm down to 3966km left to walk.

Abra and Growlithe from the last two eggs and down to 3717km. That's over 500km knocked off the total in the last week.
