Did hatch a rather lovely Growlithe, today, though. And captured a Voltorb - at home. Had never even seen a shadow of one, before. Captured a Gloom, which was rather aptly lurking around Sherburn Road Estate

I have a lucky egg and tons of stuff ready to evolve. Hopefully I can go up a good level and a half (currently level 16) if the servers behave themselves, this evening.

Try Gilegate roundabout area. I've caught 3x Dratini there now.

(29 Jul 2016, 9:57 pm)Tom wrote Very nice collection there. Hypno is so easy to power up as I find so many Drowzees.

(29 Jul 2016, 10:03 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Don't get many at home, but I don't turn them down, elsewhere. The ubiquitous Pidgeys (can spell it on my laptop which doesn't change everything I type) seem to get pretty good if you don't turn your nose up at them, too.

Off to Harrogate and Leeds, tomorrow. See if I can fill in anything I'm not getting elsewhere.

In the NE, hunting spots seem to be, so far, for interest and variety:

Newcastle
Durham
CLS
Stockton
then everything else has just been more of the same. Have been disappointed by darlo and Sunderland.

I know yesterday they updated it and removed some gyms and Pokèstops but Pokemon should still appear...

(30 Jul 2016, 6:08 pm)BusLoverMum wrote I had problems about 3-4pm ish, then got on a train whch completely killed my mobile reception, anyhow. Was fine when we got off it, at 5:30.

May wander down to the quayside on Monday.

Leeds and Harrogate both disappointing. Harrogate was all weedles, but I expected more variety in Leeds. Most interesting thing was a couple of poliwags near the train station.

Pikachu was around DBS, this afternoon, again.

(30 Jul 2016, 6:14 pm)Michael wrote Seems to be working now but all i'm picking up is... Pidgey and Weedles etc from my bedroom lmao


I'm running out of data, it won't re-new until next Friday but i'm off to the lakes on the 13th August so hoping to catch loads in Keswick etc.

(30 Jul 2016, 8:14 pm)Tom wrote Got a Weezing (?) I think haven't got my phone so can't remember the CPs, a Dratini on the Centerlink which was a crap CP of 10 or something, and there were a couple of Voltorbs and Rhino things but I missed them.

(31 Jul 2016, 10:47 am)Michael wrote Weezing is decent, I've yet to see Rhyhorn and Rhydon (the Rhino Pokemon), so nice catch.


Since I've got the app, I've "walked" 20.39km! =0

(31 Jul 2016, 10:52 am)Tom wrote Never got the Rhyhorn 
Tried about 15 times and then it went away with that cloud thing. Was a canny CP too, was in Eldon Square I think, seen it twice now but have never got it so you might see it there again. Weezing was on Market Street or Grangier Street can't remember which.

(31 Jul 2016, 10:55 am)Michael wrote Typical, noticed a few new Pokemon in my area since the update, which is good still loads of Pidgeys and Weedles though................

(31 Jul 2016, 11:00 am)Tom wrote It's Drowzees that I get loads of which isn't too bad as I power up Hypno with the stardust got him at about 630 I think it was.

(31 Jul 2016, 11:02 am)Michael wrote Ye, Sunderland is a spawn zone for them... sick of seeing them but like you said, it helps power Hypno up.

Honestly, i'm 25, i need to get a life instead of playing Pokemon Go lmao

(31 Jul 2016, 11:05 am)Tom wrote Haha I've got no interest in Pokemon but the game is so addictive! It seems once you get past level 10 you find a lot more rare pokemon though!

(02 Aug 2016, 9:07 pm)Tom wrote Hatched a 10km egg earlier today and guess what was in it? A bloody EEVEE! I was expecting better than that for a 10km one so that pissed me off. Also never found anything at all that's new but saw a shadow for Electrabuzz but I was on the metro coming back surprise surprise. It's really pissing me off after the update as it seems most pokeballs I throw at it they just break free.

(02 Aug 2016, 10:50 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Lots of people are reporting a behaviour change, since the update. Bloody evil, defiant, little weedles in abundance, like.
