I'd love to gain access to this Dublin whatsapp group if anyone can get me in!

I got the link from the Pokemon Go Dublin facebook group - someone posted up a link a few days(weeks?) back.

Time??
My alarm is set for 05:30 tomorrow so roughly 2:30 and 23:30 on Monday should be collecting times for me.

after going to chikorita nest in fairview park finally have a wonder poke to evolve (rmgesus finally smiled on me after giving me a solar beam ninetales and typlosion...solar beam vine whip giant chikorita

)

So that takes the dex to 234 caught 237 seen

Only unown and shiny karp left

Unown can be found in London randomly and other big cities I think.

I have been lucky enough to have played PoGo in a handful of big cities in the US (and a couple of hours in London last month)
.............didnt get a glimpse of one unfortunately.

Want to thank whom ever posted on Silph Road that there was a Totodile nest up in Ballymun.....went up this morning and with an investment of a 2.5km walk I saved myself approximately 120km.
My feet and I thank you.

7 day lucky egg streak tomorrow with two new evolutions means I'll only need Unown.....as well as a Shiny!!

Overall good event, great points booster, nice Pokemon too, really enjoying it.....but now time to knuckle down and cut the lawn.

Where in Ballymun to be exact wouldn't mind stocking up on totodile candy.

Got two random evolution items today, haven't got one outside of the 7 day streak for a while now! Think I got a bit sunburned out walking today too

Saw on reddit that the gyms should be going down during business hours (US) on Monday, so we should be able to collect one last time on Monday morning.

Albert College Park.

Got 40 candies in an hour, had plan to spend an hour, lunch an hour, re-hit the park but got what I needed in that first hour.
Good hunting

Please tell me you're not an air traffic controller!

Damn it, hatched another Skarmory from a 10k.

232 caught, 235 seen. Evolved Feragator and Thypolsion as part of my 7day streak, with Lucky Egg

Completed my Pokadex bar Unown and still in need of a Shiny Magikarp.

Just over halfway through level34 (680,000) and hoping this Gym rework helps keep game going.

Otherwise a countdown to Gen3 begins.
Plan to keep plugging away but without the grind, till then.

Legends could work too!

No, im not an air traffic controller, just maintenance

though looking in at my decision, would priorities be out of place?? :rolleyes:

Lapras always comes first.

How much xp has everyone got during this event? I've been catching every little cretin and walking galore with constant lucky eggs and have just passed 1.25 million XP since the event started. Started the event at 5000 XP on level 32 and I'm currently half way through level 33. I'm aiming for level 34 before the event ends.

alchemist33

A mere 200k for me, although I plan to hatch 5 eggs and get my streak tomorrow during a lucky egg evolve. But xp doesn't really motivate - its all about the dex for me.

Haven't got as much XP as you, but I'm nearing about 650k, and I have tomorrow off so hopefully can get in at least another 150k. I have four 10km eggs about to go off so that's 40k right there. So making a nice dent into level 37.
I've had a lucky egg on constantly aswell and I've gone for nice or great throws rather than trying to gamble on excellent throws. Much easier to get nice and great.

I think this has been my favorite event so far, I'm up to near 350 Cyndaquil candy the last few days. Got a Lapras aswell this morning. Only regret so far is missing a Charizard just down the road from me yesterday evening.

Anyone know the story with new pokestops? A new one just appeared near me recently, wasn't anything before and it's right beside 2 more so it's not in an area where it was needed

First I've heard of this in Ireland. Very high level Ingress players are able to approve some of the backlog of portal submissions that also make up the locations of pokestops. They can do so in a doughnut-like shape around them, in the hope they won't just approve submissions near them. There of course is a trust issue where dedicated players may still just approve ingress portals willy-nilly and that may have happened here.

I've seen one new Pokestop near where I live in the last few weeks aswell, next to a gym in a remote-ish location. It's a gym I usually hit regularly on a weekend when I had some spare time and there was never a Pokestop next to it until about 4/5 weeks ago

Mr. CooL ICE

Jaysus, only realised the triple xp for catching bit now. Feck.

About 950k so far. Did a good bit of walking on Thurs, Fri and yesterday. Only went out for the duration of a lucky egg today, it was just too hot out, lol. I have 4 lucky eggs left for tomorrow and Tuesday, and I'm running out of pokemon storage, and keep having to delete some, so I don't think I'll buy anymore eggs once these are gone.

Haven't seen any new stops appear, would love one close to my house though

Have seen a new gym appear however!

Loving this event

Still a buy of time if you can get in

Diemos

anyone get soft banned for completing a catch much later?
I was down the country for the weekend , clicked on a large shellder but closed my phone.
Just popped over to a gym there and when I opened the phone there was shellder waiting to be caught.
Caught him and ever since I can't interact with the gym, the pokestop spins and nothing happens and every mon runs after 1 ball.

only thing I can think of is the late catch of the Shellder.

Up to 233 now just missing Amphoros and unown. (picked up Tauros in the states late last year and Corsola in the Philippines in Feb)
