One more candy.

Think I'm gonna raise up Litwick next.

piplup community day is tomorrow 11am in your time zone for northern hemisphere. lures lasts 3 hours and 25% hatch distance on eggs not already in incubators. powered up roserade to current trainer level. have a poison budew on the ready when it gets it's time to shine into the poison specialist.

just gotta get my dog to go for a walk before 10am so i can make it on time.
---

I'm at work the whole time.

---

I played a bit. But it's freeze your tits off cold. So I only played when I was at a restaurant that had a pokestop. Didn't get a single good one lol.

---

Got myself a shiny Empoleon :D

empoleon isn't as strong as the other water starters for hydro cannon. not really missing out on much.
---

One shiny Piplup at work out of about 30.

---

I got one when I logged in just to claim my daily lol

---

I just evolved the pengy I had on hand. No shiny.

---

Finally got my Machamp.

Bullet Punch/Close Combat, unfortunately.

Got a Lampent as buddy now.

---

It's kind of hard to feed berries to a Lampent.

---

Anyone know when the Lapras ends and the 7 day research encounter changes?

---

End of the month I presume. I dont think this is a 2 month research unlike more recent ones have been

I would check around first day of the next month for when the encounter changes though because it doesnt change at midnight; it usually changes in the middle of the day

---

he's right. niantic only said this one would last a month. my research is supposed to unlock after the last chance lapras on the 1st of feb.

got a nearly flawless lapras i'll probably not use.
---

two US locations for a go event, St. Louis and Philadelphia, set in march i think

---

Man, Niantic is REALLY milking the Unova Pokemon hardcore.

'Featuring Darumaka for the first time ever in Pokemon Go!'
:O
'You can hatch Darumaka from 7km eggs!'
:|

'Featuring the Pokemon Go debut of Mincinno!'
:O
'You can obtain Mincinno from limited time research tasks.'
:|

Why dey gotta do dis?

a way to torment us. couldn't put it in 10k :(.

and 5ks i thought

---

Yeah, Minccino will be a permanent addition to 5k eggs.

The weird part to me is the timing of the event - the San Francisco-based company is putting on a limited-time event with the Super Bowl featuring San Francisco's team starting halfway through in their time zone.

I'd prefer not to see repeat CDs outside of the year-end recaps, don't really care which we end up with as long as it's not Dratini. All have their interesting points (if you're into PVP at least - if not, it's pretty much Rhyhorn all the way).

As if that's good lol.

---

I dunno why I'm supposed to care about either.

Those Pokemon suck.

---

Wonder if we'll get Galar Darmanitan at some point. Since it's one of the mons that doesn't get a new evolution with its alternate form

---

If it's anything other than Vulpix, I'll riot

Darumaka evolves into Darmanitan, who has one of the highest attack stats of any non-legendary Pokemon.

Plus he's really cool looking.

---

Looks like they fixed the A Vulpix research.

4 eggs, shiny is now possible.

now it's more of a chance to encounter either of em. i'll still take those. don't get hatch 5 very often (hatching 7 is excessive). unless it's for a free lure.
---

I have catch 5 right now just because I haven't gotten a Blissey yet.

I'm still looking for a 5 raid one, can't fucking find an Aerodactyl to save my life.

---

Ohhhhohoh yessss. My wife and I traded Timburrs, and the one I got reset to 3-Star, AND turned into a lucky Pokemon. Already got enough to evolve him to Gurdurr and then some.

Machamp-slaying Conkeldurr, here I come.

---

umbrellas are busted. not sure how long this will put me out of the game supposed to rain all week too.
also the option to use the handless umbrella isn't possible due to the wind limit blowing it off head.

it's looking like tuesday before i possibly play again if it doesn't let up (gotta love winter).

Rare candy showing up in gifts now.

Rare candy showing up in gifts now.

Oh wow, for real? That's great news.

Also I actually managed to go to that stupid EX Raid on Thursday during my lunch break. What a fucking waste of time! The Regigigas wiped out like 8 of my Pokemon, and the rewards were garbage. I got like 10k exp, 10 revives, 10 max potions, and a few thousand stardust. I was expecting TMs and candies and cool shit. Hell, I soloed a 3-star raid on the way home and got better rewards, like 6 rare candies and a TM.

Fuck.

---

High level raids are a crapshoot.

Rare Candies are only in gifts for this lunar event, so bust them out now.

---

My friend, she got shiny lucky 100% Cubone back. Best part is, this wasnt even queued as a lucky trade.

---

Finally finished the "evolve 1 magikarp" task and also finished the Jirachi research.

---

Nice.

I've been stuck on the last bit of Melmetal forever.

I was stuck on the "Evolve Scyther" bit for a long while. I still need Aerodactyl and 2 Kabuto/Omanyte

---

Found Kabuto Omanyte pretty quickly for some reason.

Plus a park by my mall has Lileep all the time.

Aerodactyl is fucking nowhere.

Can't even find the research for it.

High level raids are a crapshoot.

3* is the perfect raid tier. maybe 4 if duo/trio.
though never find the right 3* in play at the correct time.

i seen other people find gyrados in the wild. i'm wanting to find one :(.
days are getting wrecked by wind/rain.
---

I literally just found one while sitting in my living room.

Unfortunately it sucked, but the one I evolved is still a badass.

Beat another boss earlier, another Absol.

---

So this update shows your shadow now? Very strange lol

Also I finally bought wardrobe (not with real money, just had a ton of coins amassed and still plenty of incubators from the previous adventure box) so check Dew0ttm8 to peep my slick style

---

Gift giving slows down the ONE time I actually want it.

While I definitely didn't solo it, a 3 star Machamp was my first won raid and my first 2000cp+ mon
