Current Events > Pokemon Go General mk II: I swear to God you fucking Magikarp

(+) Yeah! (+)

I fucked up the Eevee to Umbreon research.

Moved her off of being my buddy for Magikarp in expectation of the water event.

I did that about 3 this afternoon not knowing that it would ruin the 10km I walked.

Good news, I have an excellent Vaporeon.

---

Cool bro

i found a few eevee on the way to the store. first 2 ever seen.
took maybe 3 balls to get both.

think one of the evolution's is viable for raid/gyms.
---

I remember when Vaporeon was considered godlike. Fucking water gun shred through everything.

Espeon and Glaceon.

By the by, there's a list of names that only work once to guarantee an Eeveelotion:

Jolteon: Sparky
Flareon: Pyro
Vaporeon: Rainer
Espeon: Sakura
Umbreon: Tamao
Leafeon: Linnea
Glaceon: Rea

---

Still annoyed.

---

Really wish people would quit booting me out of gyms scant minutes before midnight.

Common fucking courtesy, people.

Also.

Probably should have opened with this.

Water Gun Vaporeon still shreds tbh
---

I'm glad jirachi is finally out tomorrow

And lol my phone autocorrected to Hitachi. Pokemon go, more like Pokemon Oh!

---

Did you use the name trick for Umbreon yet? The walk task and evolve task are separate for the Special Research

I have one available.

Just to be sure:

Name it Tamao
Evolve it

Any need to be at night?

---

i would wait till it got dark before evolving just in case.
---

I don't think it has to be night, but I would anyway due to the wording of the task just in case.

Make sure you get the second candy while it's still Eevee though. It would suck if you had to find one out in the wild
---

Yeah cool whatever.

Be nice if you didn't lock up my phone showing this.

Especially for making me fix my phone for a fucking Psyduck.

---

I forgot about suicune until it was almost over
---

Does the question mark not go away for Umbreon/Espeon now like Glaceon and Leafeon?
---

I finally got shiny Rayquaza on Sunday after doing like 30 raids so I'm pretty hype about that. I missed shiny Suiciune day tho :/

I have a Shiny Ray, did one Suicune raid with my coworker and we both got shiny Suicunes. Just caught a shiny Eevee two days ago as well.
---

I've never been able to do a raid, but I did hatch a Togepi yesterdy, in fact even after playing for about a year I've only got 2 shiny pokemon Bulbasaur and Aipom
---

Yup, not a single one, never battled before either and my strongest pokemon is a 1894 Flareon
I suck at this game, I really only used it for Melmetal farming but even that isn't all that great, right now I have 1,273 meltan candies so I can make 2 Melmetals, I'm trying to save up for more so I can make at least 10 of them

---

As trading fodder for people who desperately need them or in case I want a pokemon I can't easily get in Sword/Shield, Melmetals are rare and I doubt there will be many genners on the switch as there were on the 3DS.
---

The closest park to me is about 7 miles away on foot, I don't have a care, I don't even know how to drive.

It's cool,tho I have a plan for this once the temperature finally starts dropping.
---

Hmm. No jirachi yet. Cheeky bastards

---

Got my first grpudon from weekly. Also caught shiny torchic yesterday. Not even 200 cp fully evolved and stats are trash but a shiny's a shiny.
---

Jirachi is out!

---

Liking that first reward set

Whoa, they apparently dropped more reward bombs

Unknowns in 10km, but I wonder how rare.

Probably like 2% lol

They did the same thing a year or two ago. Glad we can get them as shinies this time. Im mainly excited to finally get a fucking Unown.

Are seth335778 and mattman9001 in here?

I'm one interaction away from Ultra friends with both of you. I have a gift off of Seth, but not Matt. I've been holding off on quite a few Best and Ultra friends and I'm going to raid with a bunch of them this evening.

I'm going to put an egg on in about 45 minutes, so for Seth it's worth putting an egg on as soon as you open the game and Matt I'm going to send a gift at the same time, so hopefully you can open whilst I'm egged up.

Yikes. That is going to probably take me over a year of it is even doable at all.
---

I'm sick of Special Research require you to make new friends. It made sense for Jump Start Research, but I'm already friends with most of the people I play with. This is a pain
---

It's a highly social game and demands as such the only way you can skirt around that is by spoofing the fuck out if and most people can't do that especially those who use android phones
