I hate spiritomb....108 berries....then catch 108 pokemon D:

[Quiet Man Cometh]

...Well I knew about the berries.

[Yokuutsu]

Well, now you know more...the catch 108 pokemon gives you spirtomb

There is also spin 8 pokestops you've never been to before. Luckily, in a city 15 mins away, since last I played pokemon....someone apparently went psycho in Ingress and suggested a ton of stuff XD

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Well actually read the news the other day, and it explains all the cubones and surprising number of ponyta. No shinies though. Darn.

[Awen Moonshine]

I finally got my Celebi today!!! *happydances*

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I still need an extra friend. I was mean an axed a couple people that haven't been on in some time. I did get this funny bug-ghost thing with my regular research. Still working away on those berries though.

[RedRum]

I'm still on 7/8 of Mew with that damn excellent curveball throw.
I also need to use 50 berries.

3/8 in Celebi in which I'm just working on evolving my Gloom into a Belossom with the sunstone

1/3 in Spirittomb still working on using 108 berries. I'm at 35.

Please don't tell me that's a special research task, I'll be pretty screwed. Traveling isn't easy for me.

I used to play Pokemon Go semi-regularly when I was at uni, it was about a 30 minute walk back to my flat so each way I'd be able to do a decent amount of catching and hatching. Now though I live basically across the road from my work so I've somewhat gotten out of the habit. I haven't done any community days or anything and I don't even have any shinies. I definitely need to make more of an effort to get off my bum and get out there. I have actually joined a discord server for it with people that I know from work, but I'm a bit too shy to get started in there considering I'm a filthy casual in comparison to them haha!

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Friend task done! But I'm not very far into Celebi's stuff anyway, and I'm not sure how much I care. More annoyed that my new friend has a Shinx and I'm jealous!

Not much new lately. Catching things, picking up stuff given I'm in the city, blah blah and such. Apparently there's a POGO discord for a local group here. "Local" in the area can cover a fair bit of geographical space though.

[RedRum]

Ugh this mofo excellent curveball is pissing me off.
I just fail at curveballs, I can only even get the Pokemon in about half the time.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I usually get "excellent" by fluke.

This event tho...so many eevees.

[RedRum]

Same, I only get all three types of throws (nice, great, excellent) by fluke including non-curveballs.
So that's why there have been so many Eevee around.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

It's the "Let's Go! Pikachu!/Eevee! Nintendo switch thing. One of my daily research things (which requires the excellent throw) has the "Let's Go!" tag on it.

I see that Evolved Electrike thing in raids and I want it because those things are annoyingly hard to find, but I haven't been able to stop for long enough to actually do one.

I evolved a new Vaporeon the other day, who happens to have the same CP as my first Vaporeon that I've been powering up for over a year now. Not sure how I feel about that. Opus is special, but his combat stuff isn't actually that good. This new guy might take over for practical reasons.

Coda might be getting to me. I caught a Beldum (I keep going to say "Bedlam") the other day, and called it "Tiny Tin."

[Tiva]

Yeah my newer pokemon are a lot better than the ones i got a while back. which makes me sad but…. it isn't like the games where you train with one and improve them all of the time.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Yeah, that's annoying.

Also, the pogods have decreed I shall have more vaporeons. I got another that's better than my other two, and those two are still pretty up there in my collection. New guy is 2500 cp area.

So I still need to evolve an evolved grass type pokemon, get one more raid battle, use 3 more berries, and hatch one more egg. Then it's some next stage stuff.

...any my Arcanine got booted from the gym for only 10 coins. Poo.

[RedRum]

I concur that gaining a new understanding of how to evaluate a Pokemon's stats does cause a feeling of let down towards one's older Pokemon who have sentimental value.

I have a Radicate that I value because it's the first Pokemon I ever caught but now that I've started using Poke Genie to see IVs, he's been revealed as horrible for battle. I still have him. I won't transfer him despite but it's still a disappointment.

I'm also evolving a new Umbreon and Espeon because my originals also have low IVs and shit was it difficult finding a female Eevee because I want my Espeon female.
I have to wait to evolve it though because I believe evolving an Espeon is a research task in my future.
Question: Would it count if I did it using the nickname cheat?
